They tried their crossbows all afternoon without avoiding the others, so soon the entire tribe knew that there was such a powerful weapon that was easy to operate and could be used by anyone.

Everyone was talking about this novel weapon, eager to get one.

Ye Xi spoke to the chief, and then gave all the craftsmen to the stone house and asked them to help make crossbow arrows together.

In order to save time, Ye Xi asked the craftsmen to adopt a division of labor, each craftsman was responsible for making a part of the crossbow, and finally a craftsman was responsible for putting it together.

In this way, the craftsmen do not have to spend much time learning, but the speed of production is very fast. Fortunately, the tribe had hoarded enough materials such as animal tendons, and it only took them five days to make more than 100 crossbows.

And the women of the tribe were not idle, they were organized by Duo, and began to make arrows day and night in the stone house, and after five days, the women had made more than 800 qualified arrows.

After the crossbow was made, Ye Xi asked everyone to look for water centipedes on the mountain. After catching a live water centipede, bring it back to extract its venom.

It's a pity that there are not many water centipedes, and I have only caught more than fifty of them after rummaging through the entire Xiaotu Mountain.

Ye Xi picked two old men with quick hands and feet, who were specifically responsible for raising these water centipedes, usually feeding them with other insects caught in the mountains, and then collecting venom regularly and storing the venom in small sealed jars.

Ye Xi planned to coat all the arrows with the venom of the water centipede when the time came.

Because there are too few highly poisonous things on Xiaotu Mountain now, they are not enough at all, although this water centipede venom can't see blood to seal the throat, but it can make people paralyzed enough to give people a headache.

He had experimented with the venom of this water centipede.

Take the example of a first-class fighter. If he is shot in the right arm, then after about ten to twenty seconds, the fighter's right arm will begin to paralyze. How long it takes to be paralyzed depends on the amount of venom, and if you only shoot an arrow, it can paralyze you for about two minutes.

In these two minutes, his right arm will be very stiff and his strength will be weakened.

For second-level warriors, at least two poisoned arrows in the same arm will have a paralyzing effect.

Moreover, the venom of the water centipede cannot be exposed to the air for a long time, it is best to use the arrows soaked in the venom immediately, once exposed for a long time, the toxicity will be greatly reduced.

But even so, this water centipede poison arrow is very cheating.

Ye Xi decided that all ordinary people in the tribe would have one of the more than 100 crossbow arrows, except for a few elderly people with limited mobility, children under the age of seven, and women under three months of pregnancy.

That is to say, all the children over the age of seven in the tribe, the elderly who are still nimble, including pregnant women, will participate in the war.

Tu Shan had more than fifty Tu tribe slaves, and Ye Xi allowed those Tu tribe slaves who dared to participate in the battle and usually did not hate Tu Shan so much. They were promised to be exempted from slavery once they had merit.

He prepared for the worst in this coming tribal war. If he can't find an ally at that time, Tu Shan will have to face a powerful enemy alone? Tu Shan has a small population, and if he can have one more combat power, he will be a combat force.

Although the crossbow team was built in a hurry.

But the archery skills of the crossbow archers must be guaranteed, otherwise if they shoot the arrows stained with anesthetic on their own warriors during the battle, they will be speechless.

Therefore, Ye Xi formulated a strict training and assessment plan.

Crossbow archers pay attention to team battles and cooperation. Ye Xi divided the crossbowmen into groups of ten, and since there were a total of one hundred and forty-five people, the last group was fifteen.

In the first week, Ye Xi asked all the groups to practice against still life, whether it was shooting trees or leaves, anyway, they had to get familiar with crossbow arrows as soon as possible.

From the second week onwards, all the crossbow archers will start practicing against moving targets. Because when it comes to the battlefield, the enemy will not stand still stupidly.

Ye Xi asked them to pair up in two groups at will, one group to practice, and one group to be a "live target". When the 10 people who live the target need to change into a special "target suit". This "target suit" is fully enclosed, with only two eyes exposed, and thick wooden planks are glued to the skin.

When practicing, all the "live targets" should be run to simulate the appearance of the enemy attacking, for the crossbow archers to practice.

After a week of practicing like this, all the crossbow team members will have an assessment.

After this assessment, the crossbow group will be regrouped according to performance.

The best in archery will be assigned to one group of crossbows, the worse ones in two groups, and then three groups...... And so on until the worst group fourteenth.

The best first group and the worst fourteenth group will form the practice group.

The first group has more time to practice, and the fourteenth group has more time to be a "live target". This time ratio is about five to one, that is, the first group practiced for 50 minutes and did the "live target" for 10 minutes, while the 14th group practiced for 10 minutes and did the "live target" for 50 minutes.

Then the second and thirteenth groups were paired into practice groups, and the time ratio was slightly adjusted.

And so on......

The training time for the 7th and 8th groups is the same.

This assessment is conducted once a week, and after each assessment, the groups are re-assigned.

And a month later, Ye Xi will conduct a final assessment.

After that time, the crossbow arrow group after the eight groups, that is, the eight to fourteen groups, will all be eliminated and can only be used as targets for the other crossbow groups.

You must know that crossbow archers with bad archery skills might as well be disbanded, otherwise they will only add chaos in battle.

As soon as this rule came out, all the crossbow archers were nervous and excited.

Everybody doesn't want to be eliminated, everybody doesn't feel like they're going to lose and be one of the ones who gets eliminated.

Time was pressed and they began to practice desperately.

After Ye Xi and the others explained these things, except for occasionally watching them practice, they stayed in Wu's stone house all day to help draw witch patterns.

Wu wants to make the dominoes as soon as possible, and when the time comes, he will strive for each warrior to wear two blessing dominoes. You must know that the on-site blessing of the witch and the blessing effect of the domino can be stacked.

After Ye Xi completes the daily drawing task, he will also help the witch carve for a while, so that the witch can rest.

He can now carve three dominoes a day.

It is worth mentioning that the domino made of beast-level tortoiseshell fragments has been crafted.

The witch pattern carved on this tortoiseshell fragment is different from other dominoes, and it is a particularly bizarre pattern.

When Ye Xi first painted this strange witch pattern, even with the help of tools, he painted it several times. When carving witches, it is even more difficult, and it took three days to do it.

According to Wu, this is a guardian domino. It can withstand the full force of a level 4 totem warrior.

What does this amount to? It is equivalent to an extra life!

Wu gave this incomparably precious domino to Ye Xi.

Ye Xi thought about it for a while, but in the end he didn't refuse.

Time passed.

As the sun broke, the water in the water gradually evaporated, the water level dropped to a depth of about one person, and the water beasts retreated back into the great rivers and lakes, waiting for the next rainy season to return.

- It's time to send someone out there looking for the Alliance Tribes.
