Chapter 243: Short Sword and Crossbow
There was a commotion, and Xiao Tie opened his eyes: "You're back?"
When I walked out of the house, I saw a large crowd of people returning with a full load, the carcasses of wild beasts comparable to cattle and sheep piled up, and others were constantly gathering their prey.
The women in the village also appeared, began to deal with these corpses, skillfully decomposed and pickled them, this scene is not common, other places are not visible at all, careful observation, it is not difficult to find that when these villagers dispose of the corpses, the means are completely different from ordinary people, with their own set of skills, after a little thought, Xiao Tie knows that this is a craft that has been handed down since ancient times, and it is the survival skill of the Black Evil Army at that time.
"Master*3. ”
The three brothers of the Guo family also came back, and when they saw Xiao Tie, their eyes lit up.
"Hmm. Xiao Tie looked at the old man who followed behind the three brothers of the Guo family, this old man had white hair and white beard, but he looked very strong, and he had just discovered that the other villagers obviously had respect for this old man.
Sure enough, the three brothers of the Guo family hurriedly said: "Master, this is our village head." ”
"Haha, you are the master of the three little guys, forgive me, today is the hunting day, the hospitality is not good, and I hope Haihan. The old village chief was very talkative, laughed and shook Xiao Tie's hand.
Xiao Tie smiled: "It's okay, follow the customs." ”
The old village chief was stunned for a moment, pondered slightly, and clapped his hands: "It's a good one to follow the customs, this sentence is good, this sentence is good, haha, wait a minute, the old man will write it down." ”
Xiao Tie was stunned for a moment, and saw that the old man took out a dirty little notebook, and began to record it in a decent manner, as if he ignored Xiao Tie and them.
This......
Looking at other people, there was no surprise at all, but the look that should have been like this made Xiao Tie a little confused for a while.
"Our village has very little contact with the outside world, and there are not many literate people, and the village chief is one of them. An old man added to Xiao Tiedao, "And only literate people in our village can serve as the village head." ”
Well, it's how rare and weird it is.
Xiao Tie muttered secretly in his heart, but yes, the villagers of this village, except for when they were adults, have lived here almost all their lives, if they don't learn some words, how can they pass it on?
On the contrary, Xiao Tie inexplicably had some respect for the people of this village, imagine those tablets, if it weren't for the fact that this village has been studying so hard, with the situation in this place, it would be impossible to pass on the history at all.
After this little episode, the old village chief dismissed everyone and asked them to do what they should do, while he led Xiao Tie into the house.
"I don't know what Grandmaster Xiao is doing in our village?" The guest sat down, okay, in fact, it was just a kang and a small bench, the old village chief glanced at Xiao Tie with his eyebrows and asked.
Although the village is isolated, the old village chief obviously has some understanding of Xiao Tie, in addition to the news brought back by the three brothers of the Guo family, there is also occasional news brought back by the villagers who went out to practice, so for Xiao Tie, the old village chief attaches great importance to it.
Natural.
Xiao Tie came to them thousands of miles away, he didn't think that the other party was just to see the three brothers of the Guo family, there must be other things.
"I heard that the old village chief, you have ancient secrets here, I don't know if you can let me take a look?" Xiao Tie directly explained his intentions.
For the old village chief, Xiao Tie has respect, and he doesn't want to beat around the bush, this is a kind of respect.
And he is also telling the truth, although he has already understood all the records on the tablet, but as far as she knows, this village still preserves a part of the special historical truth, which is kept by the old village chief himself, under normal circumstances, outsiders can't check it at all, he also tried before, he didn't find it at all, so he could only ask in person.
The old village chief was stunned for a moment, and then nodded thoughtfully: "Yes." ”
This time it was Xiao Tie's turn to be a little stunned, so easy?
"That's not a secret, since Grandmaster Xiao wants to see it, there's no problem at all. As he spoke, the old village chief stood up.
Although Xiao Tie was puzzled, he still followed, and the group came to the old village chief's house, and the old village chief took out a stone slab, handed it to Xiao Tie, and said: "Actually, this part of the historical truth kept by the old man is only a small part of the ancients, although it is very precious to our village, but for outsiders, it is useless to take it." ”
Who said that, Xiao Tie still took it cautiously, swept his eyes, and suddenly realized: "This is about the method of suppressing 'No. 2', and some information about 'No. 2'?"
I see.
Indeed, this thing is really useless for outsiders to take, after all, the thing recorded on it can only be used against 'No. 2', and there is no other use for it.
However, Xiao Tie still looked at it carefully, and there was a different color flashing in his eyes.
"I see......"
"In ancient times, the reason why that 'No. 2' demonic beast was resurrected after death was because it had the ability to absorb the spiritual power and vitality of other lives, and its core could not be destroyed at all, once it was given enough spiritual power and vitality, with its terrifying recovery ability, it could be recovered quickly......"
"And the task of this village is to regularly clean up the life of the barren mountain range, and at the same time, configure a special potion to completely isolate the spread of vitality and spiritual power......"
And from it, Xiao Tie even learned that in fact, the situation on the ground was not accidental, it was the special items that were configured by the formula that had been eroded over many years, but no one had discovered this before, and then he slowly understood.
Returning the slate to the old village chief, Xiao Tie fell into deep thought.
If you don't see it, it's okay, but now that you see it, Xiao Tie is a little curious about the so-called 'No. 2', what a terrible demonic beast it is, it is so powerful, even if the body is destroyed, it can be resurrected.
Moreover, if the record on the slate is good, this demonic beast is a huge threat, although for so many years, the village has not forgotten their duties and has always insisted on suppressing and guarding, but after so many years, that demonic beast is afraid that it has recovered a lot of strength, right?
It's not impossible.
Although according to the records, if that demonic beast wants to recover completely, it must have a large amount of strength to make it possible, and it cannot directly absorb vitality and spiritual power recovery, and it can indeed suppress the other party, but the free power in the air, no matter how small the number is, over the years, is a very terrifying number.
"Old village chief, how is that demonic beast now?"
The old village chief didn't know why Xiao Tie asked this question, and he didn't know why Xiao Tie suddenly became interested in that demonic beast, but this was not a shameful thing, and he smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that our village will cease to exist in another hundred years, alas." ”
This is not an answer to answer, it directly determines the thoughts in Xiao Tie's heart, it seems that the situation is already very serious.
"Our village has a direct passage to the sinkhole, and only those who have reached the king level in the village have always passed, every year, we will let people go to check, last year, we have found that the beast has a spiritual intelligence, although it is still very weak, but think about it, after a hundred years, it should be completely out of trouble. ”
Xiao Tie was silent, his face was a little ugly.
He didn't know how strong that demonic beast was, but since it was one of the giants who invaded the human world in ancient times, and even needed three human emperors to destroy it, it was definitely not something he could imagine, once it was resurrected......
Looking at Xiao Tie, who was deep in thought, the old village chief's mouth opened slightly, and he stopped talking, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Grandmaster Xiao, there is something I want to ask you for help." ”
Xiao Tie looked up and was stunned, "What's the matter?"
"That's right. The old village chief said bitterly, "Although our village has always been peaceful, but in the past thousands of years, the village does not know if it has been cursed, and the population is getting smaller and smaller. ”
Speaking of this, the old village chief felt bitter in his heart.
In the past, although they were also living in poverty, they could barely survive, after all, their village itself also cultivated talents in all aspects, and if the number of people was sufficient, although they had to manage the huge underground world of the entire barren mountain range, they were also handy.
However, since a thousand years ago, for some reason, the ability of people in the village to reproduce seems to have been suddenly suppressed, and it is very difficult for many families to have a few babies or give birth to one.
To this day, in addition to the three brothers of the Guo family, there are still some in the village, and the next generation is almost invisible.
This is also the reason why, after Xiao Tie and the others entered this village, not a single child saw it.
In fact, everyone in the village already had some guesses in their hearts, and this was mostly because of the demonic beast, because that demonic beast began to recover its sanity thousands of years ago.
After learning about the situation, Xiao Tie naturally did not refuse.
It just so happened that he had already made up his mind to take a look at the demonic beast, and he also lacked a good set of equipment, and that single suit 'Brute Force Hammer' was no longer enough to meet his needs, so it was time to suspect that the set of better equipment was better.
On this day, Xiao Tie and the old village chief talked for a long time, and in the evening, a hearty meal of meat made Xiao Tie smile even more.
It is worthy of a meat-based village, and for meat cooking, the skills of the people in the village are definitely not weaker than ordinary chefs.
Beginning the next day, Xiao Tie began to forge weapons and armor for the village.
After another negotiation with the old village chief, he learned that because of the special geographical location, most of the battles took place in a small area underground, and most of the villagers used short blades, Xiao Tie already had a plan.
This time, not to mention the armor, in terms of weapons, he plans to forge two weapons.
The first type, the short sword, a dagger-like weapon, is suitable for the villagers to use, and while not worrying about hindering the battle, it can also perfectly exert its strength for Wu Xiu's flexible body.
The second type, the crossbow.
The reason why this weapon was chosen is mainly because of the fact that the villagers almost every once in a while, they will hunt once, in the past, there were no crossbow arrows, they could only fight in close quarters, although the strength of each villager is not weak, but there will still be accidents, resulting in attrition, for the village, even if it reduces a combat effectiveness, it is a heavy blow.
After learning this, Xiao Tie planned to equip the villagers with crossbow arrows, although it still could not solve this problem, but it would definitely be of great use.
The crossbow is a portable hand crossbow, as long as you choose a place with a suitable geographical location and shoot a batch first, it is already a great help for hunting in the village, and this kind of hand crossbow can also come in handy in ordinary times.
I believe that with these two weapons, one near and one far, coupled with the quality of the weapons cast by Xiao Tie, it must be a huge improvement for the villagers.
Soon the finished products of the two weapons were made, one for the first time, and let people try their hands first.
As for the testers, there is no better fit than the killer Fang Shi.
The killer itself makes good use of various weapons, especially the short sword, which is the standard for the killer, and the crossbow is also a kind of hidden weapon.
"The name of the sword is 'chasing the wind', light and sharp, strong and flexible, with ten thousand refined iron supplemented by water drop stone casting, and the quality is a treasure grade. Seeing Fang Shi playing with the two weapons with his hand, Xiao Tie smiled.
"As for the hand crossbow. ”
"It is also made of ten thousand refined iron as the main material, supplemented by the earth's blue stone casting, the crossbow string is made of ground-level demonic beast tendons, the crossbow arrow is an ordinary thousand refined iron, and the quality of the hand crossbow has reached the medium treasure weapon level. ”
Everyone's eyes were on the two weapons.
The short sword is inky blue all over, as thin as a cicada's wings, and it does not break back after being bent and folded, and it bounces back immediately after being released, but this does not mean that it is really a soft sword, on the contrary, it is an absolute hard sword, but its toughness is very strong.
The blade is slightly rounded rather than slender, and the short sword has no gauntlets or handles, which is because it is easy to use more flexibly, and there are blood grooves on both sides of the blade, making it a terrible killing weapon!
Look at the hand crossbow again.
Crossbows, there are also in this world, but, under normal circumstances, they are all large crossbow arrows, small ones, perhaps because of the unsuitability of the water and soil, they did not appear, after all, the battle between warriors, many hidden weapons, are much more convenient than hand crossbows.
However, this hand crossbow is obviously a little different from the hand crossbow that everyone expected.
It's not that there is any difference in the shape and construction of the hand crossbow, the key is that the person who forged him is Xiao Tie!
Treasure-level hand crossbow, this is absolutely unique in the world, at the same time, as a traverser, Xiao Tie specially added a function that is easy to carry and use, which directly caused that as soon as this hand crossbow was in Fang Shi's hands, he was immediately attracted, and he was reluctant to let go at all.
Convenient, only the size of a palm, when not in use, it can be completely hidden on the wrist, and after it is fixed, it is extremely convenient!
The lethality is powerful, even if it has not been tested, Fang Shi can imagine how terrifying the lethality of a treasure-level crossbow and a sharp arrow forged from fine iron will be, especially the penetrating power, I am afraid that even a ground-level martial artist will be killed with one blow if it is suddenly attacked!
The most important thing is that this thing, except for the winding, there is not much requirement for use, as long as the string is good, even if it is an ordinary person, it is enough to kill the martial artist!
Naturally, the villagers also discovered this, and for a while, all of them were extremely excited about this crossbow!
There are not many others in their village, because of the long-term eating of meat, there are many people with great strength!
Not to mention in the past, when the village goes out to hunt, people in the village must be left to watch, so as not to be taken to the nest, which invisibly weakens their strength!
But once you have this crossbow!
Even if all the men go out hunting, they don't have to worry about it at all!
