On the same day, the chief gathered all the people of the tribe and told everyone about the imminent invasion of a powerful enemy in Tushan.

The chieftain did not hide the slightest thing, and told everyone unreservedly about his suspicions about the enemy and their desire to find allies. Finally, a pre-war mobilization was made to boost morale.

The chief's eloquence was good, and his exciting words made everyone's blood boil, and finally everyone waved their arms and blushed and shouted together.

Vowed to kill the enemy who dared to invade Tushan.

Since that time, Tushan people have reversed the lazy appearance of the rainy season and actively prepared for war.

Everyone knew that Tu Shan was in a critical situation.

On Xiaotu Mountain, you can hear the sound of knives grinding stones everywhere, as well as the appearance of fighting drills between soldiers.

Not only are the fighters preparing for war, but the men who have not been able to become fighters are also actively training themselves.

Even some of the more sturdy women, in order to protect their children and their tribes, are fighting each other with spears.

All of them are actively preparing for war, and they are eager to protect their homeland and keep their tribe.

In the stone house.

Ye Xi buried himself in drawing patterns on the wooden board with a charcoal pen, and something that looked like a bow but not like a bow gradually became clear.

If an earthling sees it, it must be able to see at a glance, this thing is a crossbow.

In the past two days, Ye Xi has been repeatedly modifying the pattern according to the impression of the crossbow in his mind, and making it according to the pattern, and after finding out the problem, he revised the pattern again and again.

Now the pattern on the board has been modified six or seven times.

Putting down the charcoal, Ye Xi carefully checked the pattern, and after finding no error, it took half an hour to make the crossbow according to the pattern.

Ye Xi took the freshly baked crossbow and exuded a woody fragrance and looked at it carefully.

On the other side, several women in the room who were sewing animal skins looked curiously at the things in Ye Xi's hands, and Duo, the oldest and highest-ranking person, opened his mouth and asked, "Ye Xi, what is this, is it a weapon?"

At this time, except for Ye Xi in the stone house, there were only a few women there, and the men all went outside the house to practice fighting.

They have been making this strange-looking thing for the past two days, and now that they have finally made it, they can't help but be curious.

Ye Xi put down the crossbow and replied, "This thing is called a crossbow, and it is a weapon with good power. ”

Ling asked, "Do you want to use this as a weapon then?" This thing looks like a bow and arrow, so it would be nice to use a bow and arrow.

Ye Xi smiled: "This is not for me, this is for ordinary people in the tribe." As he spoke, he stood up and said to the ladies in the room, "Do you want to see its power?"

For ordinary people? Do you include them? Several women looked at each other, put down their skins, and stood up.

Ye Xi took them to find a tree at random.

After letting the women stand beside him, Ye Xi took more than twenty steps back, loaded the arrow on the crossbow, and then raised the crossbow flat, and pulled the trigger very casually.

Sou!

A wooden arrow roared out at great speed, and in the wide eyes of the women, it was nailed to the tree with a muffled thud.

Ye Xi took a look, and the arrow pierced the bark of the tree, about three centimeters into the body of the tree.

The wooden arrow can have this effect, and Ye Xi is already very satisfied.

Seeing that the crossbow was finally successfully made, Ye Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he didn't know much about this thing, but in his previous life, he confiscated the toothpick crossbow that his nephew played, and then played it himself twice. He found that the toothpick crossbow, although simple in construction and only the size of a palm, was so powerful that it could even shoot through cans if it was well controlled.

Now the crossbow in Ye Xi's hand is an imitation toothpick crossbow, just replace the steel with wood, make it bigger, and then replace the toothpick with a normal-sized arrow.

Thankfully, the crossbow's power didn't disappoint him.

The women who were watching were shocked, because they saw that Ye Xi flipped the switch very casually, and it didn't take much effort at all, but he was able to shoot arrows into the trunk of the tree.

Duo confirmed again: "You said that this crossbow can be used by us ordinary people?"

"Yes, you can try it. ”

The advantage of a crossbow is that it is easy to use, has a high target, and is not bad at power.

Ye Xi walked to the side of the tree, pulled out the arrow stuck in the trunk, reloaded the crossbow, and handed the crossbow to Duo.

Although this crossbow is heavier than a bow and arrow, and Duo is older, the primitive human physique is strong, and Duo will not even be unable to carry this.

Duo carefully took the crossbow and stroked the crossbow body with the hand with cracked skin from long-term work. Thinking of something, she raised her head: "Is this to let us also go to war?"

Ye Xi nodded and said: "Yes, there are too few Tu Shan soldiers, if you join, Tu Shan can also have a little more chance of victory." You can rest assured, you only need to be responsible for releasing arrows in the back, and there will be no danger. ”

There were not enough warriors in Tushan, and in order to meet the upcoming battle of life and death, Ye Xi could only hit the ordinary people and women in the tribe with his ideas.

Duo suddenly smiled, smiling very happily: "I didn't mean that, I'm very happy to be able to defend the tribe together." ”

He didn't know how much she wanted to defend the tribe like a warrior! Instead of hiding in the house in horror, she could only keep praying for the blessing of her ancestors, for the tribe not to die, and for her partner's son not to die in battle.

Now, with this weapon, she is finally no longer powerless.

The other women were also very excited, all staring at the crossbow in Duo's hand with blazing eyes.

In fact, the primitive women here all have a fierce energy, if it weren't for the fact that women were not allowed to use the beast core to become warriors in the tribe, maybe there would be several powerful female warriors in the clan.

But Ye Xi can also understand this regulation.

Because women need to have children, they need to bear the burden of tribal reproduction. Once pregnant, the belly will be ten months older, and the body will be weak after giving birth, and you will be responsible for nursing the child. So a female warrior is basically not allowed to go out hunting for almost a year since she became pregnant.

The beast core is so precious, and the food is so scarce, how can such waste be tolerated?

At present, the attitude of Duo and the other women made Ye Xi feel relieved, and he patiently taught: "Hold the crossbow up like I did just now, hold the crossbow body with two hands one in front of the other, one of the hands press the trigger, don't press it first." You can tilt your head a little, aim your eyes in the direction of the arrow, and after aiming, you can press the trigger. ”

Duo did what Ye Xi taught, and later found that his hand was not very steady, so he exhaled a breath to calm himself down.

It took a while to finally pull the trigger.

With a whoosh, the wooden arrow whistled out with a muffled thud, and the arrow was firmly nailed to the tree.

It did it the first time!, and the women's eyes widened in disbelief. If you shoot it on a piece of wood, you can shoot it so deeply, but what if you shoot it on a person?

They had seen how hard it was for the warriors to practice their bows and arrows, and Duo used this thing called a crossbow to shoot it all at once?

And it seems that the depth of the arrow is the same as what Ye Xi shot just now! The power of the two arrows is the same!

They had more confidence in the weapon.

Shui Wen actively ran over to pull out the wooden arrow, and tickled to take the crossbow in Duo's hand and load the arrow.

The aim of the water ripple was not high, and it took four shots before it hit the tree.

But the success rate is also very high, and it only takes four shots to succeed! You know, if you use a bow and arrow, I'm afraid you won't succeed even forty times.

Their hearts were even hotter, and they looked at the crossbow in Shuiwen's hand, their eyes were so hot that they couldn't wait to grab it in their hands and try it themselves.

But the water pattern refused to give it to them, and only shot a few more arrows before reluctantly letting them out. 8)
