V1.Chapter 37

Cang Xu, an old scholar, is knowledgeable and has a broad vision. He can often see a lot from the corpse of Warcraft. Before Zhijin took over the leadership responsibility of the exploration team, cangxu relied on this to bring great help to the exploration team.

Cang Xu had seen the corpse of ordinary flying rats before, but he specially cared that if he dissected the head of flying rats and found anything abnormal, he should report it to him quickly.

"My Lord." Soon, Bai Ya took the body of the flying rat leader and found cangxu.

"It's white bud." Cang Xu nodded, and immediately his eyes shifted to the body of the flying rat leader held by Bai Ya.

"My Lord, please have a look. Maybe I'm too nervous, but it's really a little different." Bai Ya showed the body of the flying rat leader to Cang Xu for a closer look.

Cang must observe for a moment, and his expression gradually becomes serious.

"Bai Ya, you did a good job." Cang Xu praised and stretched out his hand to lift the body of the flying rat leader. Although it was mentioned, the old scholar soon sighed and put it back in place.

The old scholar himself was weak and suffered from magic erosion before. Although the poison was detoxified, his body was still greatly damaged.

"Take it with you and report to Lord Zhijin with me." Cang Xu said to Bai Ya.

"Yes, my Lord." Bai Ya immediately took orders.

Inside the tent, Zhen Jin is discussing the crossbow with Zidi.

"Because of the erosion of magic, the actual combat power of the entire exploration team has decreased a lot." Without outsiders present, Zhen Jin seemed worried, "it was quite difficult to explore this island. Now we have to take greater risks."

Zidi mused, "Lord needle gold, we have reached our limit. In a short time, the state of the exploration team can only be like this. Unless we use medium and high-level magic potions, or the corresponding magic, magic and so on."

"However, at present, we can't get medium and high-level magic potions. And I don't agree with this."

"Because it's too uneconomical."

"Whether it's medium and high-level magic potions, or equivalent magic and magic, the cost is very high. Just to cure these ordinary people, even if there are two bronze elite, it's not worth the loss."

After a pause, Zidi added: "in fact, there are many sequelae of magic erosion, such as various strange and even incurable chronic diseases, and life expectancy reduction."

Zhen Jin sighed, "don't think about it for the time being. I just want to supplement it in terms of actual combat power. Do you think we can make crossbows?"

These days, the needle gold has fully realized the benefits of long-range strike.

For example, the leader of flying mouse not long ago is a bronze Warcraft. But under the dagger thrown by the needle gold, he was mortally hit. As soon as the leader of the flying rat died, the attacking flying rat group immediately fell into chaos, so the exploration team seized the opportunity and won a great victory without casualties.

Zidi thought carefully and said, "your idea is very correct, sir. As long as we enhance our long-range power, we can greatly supplement our combat power, save our physical strength and reduce possible casualties."

"However, I'm afraid we can't make it at present."

"First, we don't have a crossbow maker. The structure of crossbow is very simple, but it needs mature skills to make it. We are all laymen."

"Second, we don't have a blacksmith. The really powerful crossbow uses steel plate as the crossbow arm, and the number of pounds it pulls out will be very high. At the same time, the structure of the crossbow machine is very fine, and it needs metal reeds. These all need to be made by a blacksmith. Excellent crossbows also have mechanical devices to assist in pulling strings. This device can't even be manufactured on a large scale by the Empire, and it will be purchased on a large scale from goblins in the lava continent every year."

Scholars are not necessarily magicians, but every magician is a scholar.

Zidi is the current president of Wisteria chamber of Commerce, and the arms business is usually the most profitable business, so she knows a lot about crossbows.

But needle gold did not give up easily.

He still insisted, "I'm not going to use steel plates as crossbow arms, just wood plates. We can dry the bark and tear it apart to form hemp rope. In this way, we have bowstrings. In fact, we still have many Warcraft tendons."

"Although the weight of the crossbow made in this way is much lower, it is easier to string it. It can be done simply by manpower."

"The only thing that can become an obstacle is the crossbow machine. The crossbow machine is fine, and it needs to make metal accessories of specific shapes. The most difficult thing is the reed."

"Zidi, you're right. We don't have blacksmiths. But we have few staff and don't need blacksmiths to make large-scale manufacturing. I just need you to use medicine to corrode specific metal parts and reeds."

Needle gold is also familiar with crossbows.

Although he did not recover relevant memories, his common sense was rich in information.

In fact, Knights Templar are equipped with crossbows. This crossbow is small in size and is specially used by knights on horses.

Zi Di sighed, "I'm sorry, sir, I don't have any medicine that can corrode metal parts with specific shapes at present. I don't carry this special medicine with me. But if I can raise the corresponding materials, I can still configure it on the spot. It's just that Warcraft with corrosive acid is not easy to deal with, and it is likely to cause huge casualties to the whole team."

"There is another point. I want to remind adults to pay more attention."

At this point, Zidi subconsciously lowered her voice slightly.

"If the adult's plan is implemented smoothly, and almost everyone in the team has a crossbow, then the team will be difficult to control and become very dangerous."

Needle gold pupil slightly contracted.

Zidi is right to remind me of this.

Zhijin immediately recalled the scene when Huang Zao ran away.

"Do not overestimate or underestimate people." Needle gold whispers in the bottom of my heart.

a man 's mind is unpredictable.

Facing the rescuer, Huang Zao runs away with a dagger, whether he wants it or not. On this island, there are many dangers. What kind of extreme situation will happen in the future?

Now it seems that these people all support Zhen Jin as the leader. But what if something extreme happens?

For example, everyone fled together under the pursuit of Warcraft. In order to escape, will someone use their crossbows to shoot their companions, so that their companions can become bait to slow down the pursuit and hunting of Warcraft?

Especially in the current environment, low-level magic and fighting spirit can't be stimulated. Both Zhen Jin and Zi Di are weak. A sharp sword or a flying arrow can kill both of them.

People have fatal weaknesses.

These members of the exploration team are not soldiers of the hundred needle family. The cultivation of loyalty often takes time.

Zhijin is not a person who doesn't listen to opinions.

"If the crossbow doesn't work, you can only try to use a bow."

"The long bow is definitely not good. In the dense forest, this kind of bow will be very inconvenient, and the requirements for archers are also high."

"The short bow can be made more conveniently than the cross bow, but it also needs some training."

Long range strike must be accurate first.

However, due to the emergence of memory, Zhen Jin suddenly mastered the long-range strike ability, which is difficult to replicate.

The members of the exploration team cannot master bows and arrows skillfully, except Bai Ya.

He is the son of hunter, and the use of bow and arrow is one of his means of subsistence.

If there are enough people, Zhen Jin can choose archers to form a special Archer team. But now others are seriously short of hands. The main purpose of establishing bows and arrows is to protect these people and minimize casualties.

"Wood can be seen everywhere here, and it is not difficult to make a short bow. One person's accuracy is not enough, so the team can volley to form a barrage to make up for the deficiency."

"We still need to carry out surprise training, otherwise we can't even form an arrow rain barrage."

"However, training requires adequate food."

Needle gold began to feel a faint headache.

Stretching the bow and pulling the strings is very physical, and the higher the weight of the bow, the more so. Many crossbows must have mechanical devices, otherwise they can't pull the bowstring by manpower alone.

When shooting an arrow, you need to aim and maintain the strong bending of the bow arm for a period of time, which is also very physical.

The greater the physical exertion, the more food is required.

Without food supplement, training rashly is definitely asking for trouble.

So the problem comes down to food.

However, food shortage has long been the most serious problem at present!

When needle gold is distressed, Cang Xu and Bai Ya ask for a meeting.

The two men brought the body of the flying rat leader.

"We have some surprising findings, my Lord." Cang Xu's tone was serious.

Needle gold's eyes subconsciously turned to the body of the flying rat leader: "did you find the magic crystal?"

"No." Cang Xu motioned for white buds.

Bai Ya nodded after seeing Zhen Jin, and then put the body of the flying rat leader on the table.

Cang Xu again instructed Bai Ya to pull away the incision of the flying rat head, revealing a bright and vivid muscle texture.

"Lord Zhen Jin and Lord Zi Di, please look here." Cang Xu pointed to these muscle textures.

Zidi looked at it and immediately frowned slightly, "it's really different from ordinary Warcraft."

Needle gold also found that the muscles of Warcraft are usually in strands and bundles, which are a whole. But the muscle of the flying rat leader is divided into many fine muscle slices. The muscle slices are closely arranged, like fish scales, very neat.

"Look here again, you two." Cang Xu then showed the viscera of the flying rat leader.

Zhen Jin and Zi Di also found that the surface of these internal organs was covered with a layer of white, like fascia, which was relatively thick.

Zidi wondered, "this is really different from normal Warcraft. But what does this different structure mean?"

Although Zidi is a magician, she is not as knowledgeable as cangxu in this regard.

Zhijin's common sense could not make him understand the intention of the old scholar.

Seeing the confused look of the two people, Cang Xu explained, "I strongly doubt that this flying rat leader can release a strong current!"

"Oh? What do you say?" Needle gold doubts.

"And rats that can discharge?" Bai Ya opened her mouth wide.

Cang Xu continued to explain, "there is a special kind of fish, which thrives on the sea floor or in the river, and people call it electric eel. The body structure of this fish is very similar to that of this flying rat head. When they want to discharge, the muscles of their whole body will move, and a terrible electric shock will explode, which can instantly kill elephants. But they also have insulating fascia in their bodies, which can protect their safety in electric shock."

"Then why didn't this flying rat leader give out electric shock before?" Bai Ya asked.

Cang Xu shook his head slightly: "this electric shock is not magic, but comes from the unique structure of life. Magic is the magician using his own spirit, with the help of elements, according to the law. And the electric eel is because of its unique organ tissue. It's like being able to make sound after having a throat, and being able to fly with wings."

"At most, electric eels produce electricity and cannot control the flow of electricity. However, electric eels live in water. Once a strong current is generated, underwater life near them will suffer terrible electric shocks."

"For the flying rat leader, even if the current is generated, it depends on the surrounding environment. Trees, earth and air are often powerful obstacles to the current."

"Therefore, only when the flying rat leader contacts the enemy, its ability to shock will be exposed. But because the dagger thrown by Lord Zhijin directly killed it in midair, this ability has been temporarily concealed."

"So it is." Bai Ya suddenly realized.

Zidi narrowed her eyes slightly: "so if we have to face this kind of flying rat leader in the future, the iron armor is a weakness. It's best to wear thick leather armor."

Cang Xu shook his head, "the leather armor can't provide enough security, and the face is usually exposed. At the same time, the claws and teeth of the flying mouse are very sharp, which can completely discharge after tearing the leather armor."

Zhen Jin nodded, "so, the best way to deal with this kind of flying rat leader is long-range strike! But we have too few archers."

Although needle gold can be accurately thrown, it can't be so successful and deadly every time.

He is not the nanny of others, and his subordinates are not used for protection.

"My Lord, cyanobacteria comes to report to you." At this time, a sound came from outside the tent.

Cyanobacteria is a bronze elite, so Zhijin sent him to investigate around before.

Needle gold called cyanobacteria into the tent and found that the latter was full of joy.

"Good news, my Lord! I found a gathering place of flying rats not far ahead. These flying rats dug holes in the trunk of the tree to build their nests. I counted roughly. There are many tree holes! This flying rat group is large, with nearly a thousand heads. If we fight it down, it can greatly supplement our food."

Cang Xu pondered, "it seems that this kind of flying rat has no change in its social temperament."

"Oh?" Needle gold raised her eyebrows slightly and subconsciously looked at Zidi.

Zi Di knew the meaning of needle gold and immediately said, "I have tested it. There is no problem with the meat of ordinary flying mice. Of course, the Warcraft meat of flying mouse leader must not be eaten indiscriminately."

Bai Ya shouted, "it's very dangerous to hunt such a large group of rats."

Cyanobacteria stared at Bai Ya, then looked at needle gold, and took the initiative to ask for orders to take the lead in charging and attacking the flying rat community.

Cang Xu shook his head, "cyanobacteria, you underestimate these flying rats. Bronze flying rat leaders can explode electric shocks. Such a large population is likely to have black iron flying rat leaders."

"What?" Cyanobacteria was stunned.

Needle gold is immersed in thinking.

He found himself facing a difficult choice.

But for a time, it was difficult for Zhijin to make a decision: "I have to think about this matter carefully. You all quit and do your own things."

"Yes, my Lord."

"No matter what decision you make, I will support you." Zidi dropped this sentence when she left the tent last.
