Chapter 18: A cloud of flames looming over the sea

The number of survival points required for enhancement is not fixed, but is determined by the value of the item in the current environment.

It used to cost 30 points to strengthen the safe house, but now it costs 10 points to build a crossbow.

This is enough to illustrate the value of this weapon.

Chen Ye currently still has 82 survival points, which is more than enough to strengthen the handmade crossbow.

If you use a handmade crossbow with improved quality and successfully hit the Flame Anemone, you can get a lot of survival points.

Therefore, this is also a sure investment project.

Chen Ye's mind moved slightly, and the handmade crossbow was shrouded in a ray of light.

The whole strengthening process was very short, almost in the blink of an eye.

【Reinforcement Success】

【Handmade Crossbow Quality Improvement】

[Congratulations on obtaining a weapon: New Composite Crossbow - The Revenant]

At the same time as the system prompt sounded, the weight of the handmade crossbow suddenly sank several times.

No, it's going to be called "The Revenant" now.

A silver-gray crossbow body made of cloud ironwood, which at this time exudes an attractive metallic luster.

The wings were lengthened by more than a dozen centimeters, and they were painted with yellow-brown and grass-green camouflage.

The bowstring is no longer simply a rope made of vine tanning, but has been upgraded to a composite fiber material that improves the tensile strength.

It is precisely because of the improved quality of the crossbow wings and bowstrings that this composite crossbow, called the "Revenant", has been strengthened to a certain extent in power and range.

[Low-level weapon: New Compound Crossbow - The Revenant]

[The king of cold weapons from Blue Star, with the characteristics of high rate of fire, high penetration, high lethality, high concealment, and easy to carry and operate]

[Loose string width 45 cm, maximum pulling weight up to 100 pounds, accurate range 90 meters, maximum range 180 meters, injection speed 115 meters / second]

Chen Ye looked at the brand-new compound crossbow left and right, and couldn't help but admire again and again.

Lin Zimo next to him looked puzzled.

In her perspective, Chen Ye took out a plain crossbow.

Then, without knowing what was happening, the crossbow suddenly became larger and the style changed significantly.

"Is this your talent?" Lin Zimo asked in surprise.

Now that Lin Zimo has already said his natural ability, Chen Ye doesn't have to hide it anymore.

"That's right, I can improve the quality of my items."

Of course, he only said a rough idea, and the details were still slightly hidden.

For example, the anti-heaven characteristic of "can strengthen all things in the world" cannot be said at will.

In addition, equipped crossbow arrows can also be strengthened.

Normally, the quality of the crossbow arrow determines the overall killing effect to a certain extent.

The damage that wooden arrows and steel arrows can deal is not at the same level at all.

For the sake of insurance, Chen Ye still decided to improve the quality of the crossbow arrows.

Although the strengthened crossbow bolt did not directly improve the quality to a metal material, it was a little harder than the previous cloud ironwood.

Of course, he didn't need a crossbow bolt to be very lethal, just to be able to pierce the cavity of the Flame Anemone.

The bolts themselves are consumables, and each enhancement seems to cost a small number of points, but it can accumulate in the long term to be a staggering number.

Therefore, Chen Ye only consumed 3 points this time, and strengthened 90 crossbow arrows in batches.

Not much, but enough.

With the help of the winder, Chen Ye wound the compound crossbow, and after placing the crossbow arrows, he handed them to Lin Zimo's hands.

The composite crossbow has a wooden sight, which makes it easier to aim than a longbow.

Despite her natural abilities, she doesn't really need such a device.

However, sophisticated weapons and equipment can assist innate abilities to play a better role.

Lin Zimo carefully took the compound crossbow, and under Chen Ye's command, aimed at the cavity tube that was about to spit out the red nitrate jellyfish.

With a command, the pitch-black crossbow bolt burst out, with a sharp sound that pierced the air, and the middle cavity tube bulged up.

More than a dozen red nitrate jellyfish that had not yet flown out of the cavity tube secreted a large amount of red smoke after being stimulated by the outside.

After Chen Ye saw this scene, he immediately closed the window panel.

Immediately after, a violent explosion was heard outside the window, and the entire watchtower shook.

A spectacular fireball rose from the rough sea.

The fireballs continued to rise upward, turning into petal-shaped clouds of crimson flames.

Under the influence of the blast wave, the flaming sea anemone surfaced from under the water's surface, and half of its body had been blown to pieces.

What was left was a large, bloated body, exposed to the air, like a giant geoduck without a shell.

The megalodon sharks, which were still preying on the red nitrate jellyfish in the vicinity, were all swept away dozens of meters away by the shock wave.

A few of them looked rough and thick-skinned, but they were still blown to pieces on the spot.

Prior to this, the megalodon had relied on seawater to absorb the effects of high temperatures by constantly rising and diving.

Now they have been swept to the rocky ground of the island at hundreds of degrees Celsius, and they have been directly burned to the ground of scales, and their flesh is sizzling.

Some had even burst into flames, turning into a fireball that had gradually ceased to struggle.

[Kill the Jellyfish and get 1.5 Survival Points]

[Kill the Megalodon and get 5 Survival Points]

[Kill the Flame Anemone and get 7.5 Survival Points]

……

In Chen Ye's mind, the system prompt sounded continuously.

The survival points in the panel are rubbing upwards.

I didn't look at it for a while, and I already had 70 survival points.

But just as he was extremely excited, a deafening explosion was heard outside the island again, and it was several times more violent than just now.

Chen Ye opened the window panel again and looked out through the gap.

only to find that the previous explosion actually produced a series of chain reactions.

The flaming anemone, which was shot into the cavity by the crossbow arrow, was hit by a shockwave.

The massive impact puts it in a state of stress, and it falls into an attack mode that does not distinguish between friend and foe.

The mouthparts as sharp as guns began to attack nearby lifeforms indiscriminately.

Lin Zimo's crossbow bolt only pierced the cavity tube on the sea.

And the sharp mouthparts of the flame anemone directly popped the companions hiding in the nearby waters.

A series of explosions rang out over the sea, and the sea around the island was shrouded in a cloud of crimson flames.

Chen Ye couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Originally, he just wanted to blow off a few megalodon sharks so that they would not dare to approach the waters near the island.

I didn't expect that now that the site was cleared directly, there was not even a living creature left on the sea within a radius of one kilometer!

And when Chen Ye saw the doubling of his survival points, his eyes widened even more.

[Survival Points: 152]

If you put it in normal times, I don't know how much time it will take to get a full 152 survival points!

If it weren't for today's opportunism, he would never have been rewarded so handsomely!

With so many points, watchtowers can be turned into more advanced buildings, and compound crossbows can be strengthened into more lethal weapons.

There is also Resource Probe Plus, which can also be upgraded to ProMax......

At the same time, the flames quickly spread over the forest along the red nitrate jellyfish floating in the air.

The vines, which were desperately defending against the invasion of foreign enemies, were directly blown away.

The flames broke through the defenses, clinging to the dense canopy of trees, and flowing down the branches and foliage into the interior of the forest.

A forest fire spread rapidly.

However, Survival Points didn't grow at an alarming rate.

This also verified Chen Ye's speculation not long ago.

Those vines are not individual lifeforms, they also have a body hidden behind them.

Either way, it was a bonus.

He didn't know how to go deep into the forest!

The shock wave and heat wave from the explosion poured into the living room through the cracks in the window panels.

Chen Ye's face was blown hot and painful.

He immediately closed the window panel and sprinkled a handful of ice water on his face.

Then he turned around and said excitedly: "The plan is successful, and when the heat disaster disappears, we can go outside to recover the loot." ”

Lin Zimo was afraid of the high temperature, so he kept hiding in the living room and didn't look carefully at the scene outside.

However, judging by the continuous explosions, the scene will not be small.

She returned the compound crossbow to Chen Ye and asked softly, "Is this the end?" ”

Chen Ye wiped the water stains from his face and nodded with relief.

"I didn't expect it to end so soon."

"Of course, all thanks to your accurate shooting, otherwise this plan really can't be completed!"

When Lin Zimo heard this, he laughed embarrassedly, and his cheeks were also dyed with two patches of crimson.

I don't know if it's because of the high temperature baking, or Chen Ye's casual praise.
