Chapter 73: Preparations Before the Launch
More than a dozen people were busy for a day, twelve crossbow machines were made, and Dai Tian also tied all the bamboo pipes he made to the gun, so that the gun could not be stabbed and exploded.
Although Lu Qi looked down on the bamboo pipe at this time, they didn't say anything because it was all designed by Dai Tian.
After that, the guns were distributed, dozens of them were placed on each crossbow machine, and more than a dozen people looked up at the works above their heads, all of them unable to hide their excitement.
The next day, the red sun rose early, pushing away the red glow and peeking out of the morning mist.
Under the fog, the Dongzhiguo Demon Council was already busy. In front of the gate of the Demon House, a six-pillar archway was erected, and it was clearly written in large characters in demon font under the eaves: "Welcome to the Catfish Demon Fee and go to the East Zhiguo." ”
Under the archway, a red carpet is spread out, spread through the middle gate of the Demon House, come to the courtyard of the courtyard, just in the courtyard of that courtyard, build a high platform, from the red carpet can go up step by step, walk to the seventh step, above is a platform, there are three zhang long and wide, under the high platform, also around the spread of a red carpet, obviously, this is the place where the people of Dongzhiguo stand and clap to welcome, then, they let the welcome people stand on the high platform, they look up at the bottom and clap their hands to welcome, that is how much respect for the people who come.
Now, outside the Demon Council, surrounded by the people of Dongzhiguo, they all stretched out their heads to look in, because the Demon House is now three big flashes, so when you look inside, you can see clearly, you can see around the high platform, there are still people directing the arrangement.
Dai Tian also stood among the people of Dongzhiguo, looking at the scene in front of him, but there was a sneer in his heart, because such a good welcome scene will be held with the welcome ceremony, turning into a big battlefield, at this time, there are already hundreds of spears on the crossbow aimed here, the crossbow is made of fourth- and fifth-order beast bones, even if the fourth- and fifth-order great demon is shot, it will be difficult to escape death.
And there is also an explosive bamboo tube he developed on the crossbow, and there are some sharp gravel in the bamboo tube, Dai Tian believes that if it explodes, the power will definitely be not small.
While looking at the scene in front of him, Dai Tian imagined in his mind that there would be a sea of fire and screams here.
Lu Jie'er was behind Dai Tian, she saw it in her eyes, but she became nervous, because he saw dozens of fourth-order demons in the courtyard, and said to Dai Tian at that time: "Are you sure about that crossbow machine?"
"Don't worry, your demon slave doesn't have any other skills, set up a mechanism to ambush and fight the demonic beast, and never missed. Dai Tian is extremely confident, when he was in the mountains and forests in the past, he had prepared some furnishings in a hurry, and he didn't miss it, not to mention that he had been preparing for two days this time.
"In that case, we don't need to stay here, we should go back to the Demon Inn, and then we can fire the crossbow, let's hurry up! Lu Jie'er said worriedly.
"Wait a minute, I'll ask someone!" said Dai Tian, walking towards the Demon House.
Lu Jie'er didn't hold it, and was scared out of a sweat, is this demon slave bold or straightforward, now at the critical moment, it's too late to hide from Dongzhiren, he still wants to go into the Demon House, what is he going to do?
Dai Tian strode into the Demon Council, came straight to a commanding demon deacon, and opened his mouth to say, "Lord Demon Deacon, please ask when the Great Demon we welcome come?"
The demon deacon glanced down at Dai Tian on the steps and asked, "What are you asking for?"
"We were originally stone merchants from outside, and it happened that we heard that there was a big demon in Dongzhi to greet us, so we also wanted to show our hearts, and lined up outside the hospital to welcome, and we were cared for by Dongzhi for many years, which was a good time to express our hearts. ”
When the demon deacon heard this, he was overjoyed, the lord of the country had an order, the more grand the welcome ceremony, the better, and they were stone merchants, if they joined, it would not only increase the atmosphere of the ceremony, but also show the grace of the lord of the country, and said at that time: "It's rare that you stone merchants have some intentions, and the catfish demon has already had a word, saying that it is here at noon today, and you stone merchants can line up outside the demon house before noon." ”
When Dai Tian heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, and it was good to know the exact time, so he bowed his waist and thanked him, turned around and walked out.
"Wait!" Dai Tian had just turned around, but the demon deacon stopped behind his back again.
Dai Tian's heart tightened, what's the matter, did he find any clues?
Slowly turned around, but heard the demon deacon say: "Dongzhiguo attaches great importance to the stone merchants, and specially sends a few hand-waving flags for you. Come, and take him to the deacon's door to collect it. ”
When Dai Tian heard it, he was relieved.
At that time, a direct soldier came over: "Come with me!" and took Dai Tian to go.
Dai Tian followed behind the straight soldier, and while walking, he went to see the scene in the courtyard, and sure enough, there was no difference from Duo'er's description.
He was taken to the door of a side hall, and a counter was placed next to the door, with various colored flags on it, and a pen-holding demon was writing and painting on the colored flags.
"They were representatives of the stone merchants from outside, and the deacon ordered them to welcome the bunting. The soldier said, letting Dai Tian to the counter.
"What a miracle!" said the pen, "what kind of stone merchant are you?"
Dai Tian pondered for a moment and said, "We are the Earth Stone Merchants of the Jinyue Clan!"
The pen wrote on the colorful flag, "The stone merchants of the Jinyue clan welcome the catfish demon".
Dai Tian took more than a dozen sides, held them in his hand, and went back the same way.
Lu Jie'er saw Dai Tian being taken away by a direct soldier outside the door, and he became more and more worried, and secretly shouted: "It's not good, did they find Dai Tian and take him to the ambush to deal with him." I'm going to come to the rescue. ”
When I think about it, I have to whip a long whip around my waist.
But before his hand could move, he saw Dai Tianyuan coming back again, so he breathed a sigh of relief and stopped his hand.
I saw Dai Tian, and thanked the demon deacon again, and then walked out of the door of the demon house with the things in his hand.
"You demon slave, do your own thing, I don't know if I'm worried! What do you have in your hand?" Dai Tian whispered.
"Welcome to the Great Devil's bunting, we're going to welcome the Great Demon in the queue. Let's go, go back and get ready. As he spoke, he picked up Lu Jie'er and left.
"You demon slave, prepare for the crossbow machine, do you want to give up, we are here to greet you, how can you still launch the crossbow. Lu Jie'er erupted, it seems that she still doesn't know that the crossbow machine designed by Dai Tian is automatic.
Dai Tian was afraid that she would yell out, so he didn't explain much, but forcibly pulled her to the inn.
When he returned to the inn, he closed the door in his room, and the other ten who were waiting in the room also hurriedly gathered around. "How's it going, can it go as planned?"
Without waiting for Dai Tian to speak, Lu Jie'er shouted first: "Plan, he is going to take us to meet the big demon, I don't know what he thinks." As he spoke, he snatched more than a dozen colored flags from Dai Tian's hand and threw them to the ground.
When more than a dozen of them picked up the colored flags and went to see the words on them, sure enough, they all held the flags and asked Dai Tian: "Their great demon is our enemy, but you gave up this preparation and went to meet them for ......."
For a while, the gossip was so loud that Dai Tiantou stopped: "We will launch the crossbow machine at this time, and when the time comes, they will come to find the root cause, how can we escape?"
"But assassination is our goal, and we can't give up for fear of death. Lu Jie'er still glared angrily.
"My crossbow machine is automatic, set it up here, we can leave, the crossbow machine will automatically fire when the time comes, we just watch the excitement on the spot!" Dai Tian also roared.
A dozen people blushed. "They were also busy all day, and they only knew that Dai Tian made it according to Dai Tian's words, and they didn't know that Dai Tian's crossbow machine was automatic.
Dai Tian ignored them, erected a simple ladder, climbed to the beams of the house, and set up and adjusted crossbow strings, winches, and other things.
"What can we do!" said a dozen or so people as they came back to their senses, each looking up.
"Wait!" Dai Tian said this not only angrily, but also that this is an important part of the mechanism, it must be extremely fine, if it is not fine, it will be wrong in time, so he has to operate it himself.
Dai Tian turned the winch wheel dozens of times on the beam, and used dozens of twists of thin rope to control the potential energy, stripped the lead wires outside the bamboo pipe together, and said to Duo'er: "Duo'er lit the incense I made." Hand it to me!"
Duo'er answered, took out twelve elongated incense sticks, tied them together, and lit the incense together.
"What are you doing with this?" Lu Jie'er asked curiously.
"This is designed by the benefactor, these incense incense can be burned for exactly three hours, and when the incense is burned, it can burn the thin rope that holds the winch wheel and also ignite the bamboo pipe lead. Under the original potential energy, the winch will automatically rotate, and the crossbow string will be pulled constantly, and the crossbow machine gun can be continuous. When Duo'er explained, her eyes were full of admiration, how could she not worship such a delicate design.
When the others heard it, they were all amazed, and they really didn't understand what Dai Tian's brain was made of.
But only Lu Jie'er clenched her teeth and clenched her fists.
The others only admired and didn't pay attention to her, but Lu Jie'er snatched the incense, glared at Duo'er and said, "My demon slave, why do you tell you this, I'll come." ”
Grab it, hold it together, and hand it up.
"No, there's only one on a crossbow. When Dai Tian said, he secretly said in his heart: "My eldest lady is really good, and she loses her temper for no reason." But who knew that Lu Jie'er was jealous in his heart.
Lu Jie'er took out one and handed it upwards, but the beam was too high and sent to the highest place, even if it jumped again and again, it was difficult for Dai Tian to reach it.
"You're not as good as Duo'er, so you can jump, let's let her come!" Dai Tian persuaded softly on the beams of the house.
Although Lu Jie'er was unwilling, she had no choice but to return the incense to Duo'er.
Duo'er took it again, secretly happy in her heart.
But Lu Jie'er shouted in her heart: "Damn, at the beginning, she was a beast body and would not threaten herself, but now it seems that it is not like this......"
Sure enough, the body of the giant rat is the best at jumping, and he only jumps upwards and sends the incense to Dai Tian.
