Chapter 21: Accidental Injury
"Can you show me your bow?" After leaving the cave, Bai Bingyu has been staring at Tianyou's bow, she has been observing it for a long time, but Tianyou has been running around to explore the path before, and she has never had a chance.
"Is that special?" said Tianyou as he handed over the bow.
Bai Bingyu solemnly took Tianyou's bow and held it in his hand twice. "It's so heavy!"
Tianyou squatted down to check the dead leaves on the ground, and said at the same time: "No way, there are too many things missing." I can't make a carbon fiber laminate, I can only use steel sheets as the substrate, and then use iron core bamboo flakes and monster cartilage to press up layer by layer, you don't know how much material was scrapped in the first place. As a result, the hardness of the bow blades was too high, and the bow handle could not be carried, so I had to replace the sorbam wood with ironwood. The weight went up. Moreover, the thing where the bow handle and the bow piece are connected is made of pure steel, and these two things alone are almost the weight of the last bow. Counting those two eccentric wheels and counterweight balance bars, sights, and so on, it's like this!"
After talking for a long time, Tianyou suddenly remembered that Bai Bingyu was also a girl, and said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I like these things, and it's not over when I talk about it." ”
"Nope. Bai Bingyu shook his head and said, "I like it very much." You don't know, I'm from a military family. My mother died early, it was my father who brought up our sisters, and we have been in the barracks since we were children, and the only toys are swords and bows. That's why I'm a big fan of weapons, you can talk a little bit more, I love to hear it. ”
He glanced at Bai Bingyu in some surprise, thinking that this seemed to be reasonable. Tianyou suddenly laughed. "It's really rare to meet a girl like you. Since you like it, then I'll talk to you. ......”
It's like finding a soulmate, Tianyou and Bai Bingyu talked very happily all the way.
Among the five women in the same company, Yin Ruhua and Mu Ruyu Tianyou don't like it very much, they feel too artificial, and they have a bit of a big lady's temper, if it weren't for Yingying's pressure, it is estimated that they would have to turn the regiment under Tianyou's command.
Lu Meng is basically a big child, lively, youthful and cute, and can play crazy together, but Tianyou has never treated her as a woman.
Only Bai Bingyu and Ying Ying are what Tianyou admires the most, but for the two of them, Tianyou's feeling is completely different.
Ying Ying is mature, steady, decisive, decisive, and very shrewd, plus the various auras brought by the princess status, as well as the almost perfect appearance, if you dare to say that you don't like her at all, you must not be a man, even if she is a, or an insincere hypocrite. Of course, Tianyou can't avoid vulgarity, he is inevitably attracted, but he knows very well that he can't climb high now, so he has been carefully controlling his feelings, not thinking about non-centrificism, but occasionally he can't control it.
As for the white ice rain...... It was a different feeling entirely. Tianyou is only very relaxed with Jue and her, and when the two talk like old friends, they can always easily understand each other's meaning, even if both sides often come up with words that the other party has never heard before, it does not cause any communication barriers.
If Bai Bingyu was not a woman, Tianyou really wanted to worship her. It's been more than ten years, and it's really the first time I've met someone who is so compatible.
Of course, Bai Bingyu is not a man's wife, she is actually very woman, although she is very strong in some places, she is not a man, but she has the demeanor of a child of the rivers and lakes between her gestures. Moreover, Bai Bingyu is indeed a beauty, maybe not as good as Yingying, but if you talk about appearance alone, she is actually above the two squeamish eldest ladies. The most important thing is that kind of lone wolf-like temperament, which is as addictive as a poppy. It's a pity that Tianyou and her don't seem to call at all.
"There is such a design?" Bai Bingyu held the bow in one hand, and wanted to pull the bowstring with the other. Listening to Tianyou's introduction, she is now more and more interested in this bow.
Seeing her movements, Tianyou was frightened and hurriedly shouted to stop. The compound pulley bow is not the monolithic bow of ancient times, the muzzle velocity of this thing is very exaggerated, if you use your fingers to open the bow directly, the moment you let go, the bowstring will scrape off all the flesh on your fingers, even if you cut off your fingers. Even with the kind of special wrenches that ancient archers were equipped with, they were not enough for compound pulley bows.
In Bai Bingyu's puzzled gaze, Tianyou hurriedly handed over the spreader hanging on his belt. "Use this. "God bless the white ice rain. "See this little ring on the bowstring?"
"Hmm. Bai Bingyu nodded.
"It's called the D-ring. Use this thing I gave you, use here, hook this D-ring, and then fire the bow and arrow. Oh, and also, if you don't put the arrow up, let go of the bowstring slowly, don't just throw it away, it will hurt the bow if it is empty. This thing has a long range and is powerful, but it is also more delicate. ”
Bai Bingyu shook his head and said, "No, you're already very good." The bows used in our barracks are actually not easy to serve, and when it rains, they have to be put in the storeroom, and they have to make fires to prevent moisture, in case it rains, it will take a long time to readjust when they turn around, otherwise they will not be able to be used at all. If you have the same performance as you say, it's actually much better than the bow used by the army. ”
"Well, don't you see who did this?"
Only in the case of Tianyou, Bai Bingyu seemed to relax a lot, with a smile on his face, listening to Tianyou bragging there.
An arrow was drawn from the sword bag behind Tianyou's back. I weighed it as usual, and it felt more than three times heavier than a normal arrow. The shaft is very long, and the cluster of arrows at the end unfolds at a small angle, which makes it look long, but the cross-section is actually much smaller. The arrowhead is made of metal, which is obviously custom-made and has a very special shape.
The sharp-eyed Bai Bingyu noticed that the arrows in the quiver didn't seem to be exactly the same shape, so he drew out two arrows with different clusters of arrows. When you put it together, you immediately find that it is really different.
The first arrow is the closest to a normal arrow, and the next two are different. One of them was particularly heavy, and it seemed that even the shaft of the arrow had an iron core added to it. Moreover, the arrow of this arrow is slender and sharp, almost the same width as the shaft, but there is a blood groove in the center. This thing is simply a thing that wants human life, and if you shoot it, it won't be saved, and it's useless to wear all-steel plate armor. Weighted arrows and ultra-thin arrows, this is completely designed to break armor, Bai Bingyu only needs to look at it to know how dangerous this thing is.
The remaining arrow was heavier, but it was triangular and had serrated hooks around the edges. At first glance, this thing is used to attach to something, and it seems to be a design used to fix it when climbing. In addition, there is a small hole where the arrow and the shaft are connected, and a rope can be threaded, presumably for tethering. Obviously, the third arrow is a dedicated wire thrower.
"Why do you still have this thing?" asked Bai Bingyu holding the arrow with the blood groove.
Tianyou only looked at one thing and smiled: "This is specially used to deal with high-level demon beasts and spirit demons. You should know that the fur defense of demon beasts and spirit demons is amazing, and ordinary arrows cannot shoot through. My armor-piercing arrow is so powerful that no matter how hard the skin is, it can penetrate it, and as long as you don't pull it out, it will bleed. Even if a high-level demon beast was hit by an arrow, it could only wait for death obediently. ”
"That man-eating wolf was shot with this thing?"
"No, it was shot through the mouth, with a normal arrow. I have hit a total of seven of these armor-piercing arrows, ten taels of silver, and the expensive ones are to death. I don't usually want to use it. However, there is really nothing to say about the power, the trajectory of the weighted arrow is super stable, and the range is far away. ”
"Let me try it. Bai Bingyu didn't know if he was joking on purpose or doing something, so he really put the arrow on the arrow platform, and then hooked the D ring with a spreader and started to shoot the bow.
Just now, Tianyou has introduced the usage methods and precautions along the way, Bai Bingyu originally grew up in the military camp, so he will naturally learn it as soon as he learns it. As soon as the arm was forced, the bowstring immediately unfolded backwards, and Bai Bingyu looked at the bow body unexpectedly. "It's so light, don't you say it's a three-stone bow?"
"I'm a pulley bow, it's different from yours, you haven't pulled it into place, and it's easier to pull it back. ”
Bai Bingyu pulled back decisively, and when the bowstring crossed a certain position, she clearly felt that the bowstring in her hand seemed to be locked, and the pulling force instantly dropped a lot. Because of this moment's surprise, Bai Bingyu didn't notice that his finger touched the trigger of the spreader.
There is no standardized industrial system in this world, and the spreader is completely made by God himself, and it is fortunate to be able to use it, of course, it is impossible to compare with modern industrial products. Therefore, at this critical moment, the spreader was very unqualified.
Not only will the gun go off, but the compound bow will also be, and the result is that in Tianyou's stunned eyes, the heavy armor-piercing arrow worth ten taels of silver turned into a silver light and shot away, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Bai Bingyu was also frightened by this situation, she was just joking, she didn't really want to shoot that arrow!
"I just ......"
"I know, I know, don't be nervous, it's the spreader that went off. It's okay, let's just go and get the arrows back. Fortunately, I specially designed a detached arrow in order to practice the accuracy, and if the arrow is bent and it is a big deal to change it, the shaft should be saved. ”
"No, I'll go back and ask my father to send someone to help you get a few more, right?" Bai Bingyu said slightly apologetically. Ten taels of silver is a lot for ordinary people, but it is nothing to her, at least it is no problem to give Tianyou a few arrows.
The two put away their playfulness and hurriedly followed the direction where the arrow had just been shot. Fortunately, it wasn't shot at the sky just now, otherwise with the bow power of this compound bow, it is estimated that the arrow can fly all the way to several kilometers away. Although it is impossible to have an accurate head at such a distance, and the penetration power must have lost most of it, this bow can really shoot arrows that far.
Fortunately, Bai Bingyu has a good habit, as long as the arrow is wound, he will maintain a safe movement, pointing diagonally at the ground, so he should not fly far this time.
The two searched all the way, and soon found a hole in a big tree ten feet away. There are no arrow shafts visible here, so I guess they're all in. The two of them hurriedly went around behind the trunk to see if they had passed through, but as soon as they passed, both of them were stupid.
Behind the trunk of the tree, a black-clothed masked man leaned against the trunk of the tree without looking at it, the left side of his face was attached to the trunk, and an armor-piercing arrow with a glowing cold light pierced more than an inch long from the position of his right cheekbone, and the blood slowly flowed down the blood groove to the arrow and then dripped to the ground, and the man was already breathless. The corpse was nailed to the trunk of the tree by the shaft of an arrow, so it did not fall.
Tianyou was stunned for a long time before he looked up at Bai Bingyu. "You're so accurate!"
