Chapter 208 New weapons!
"Don't be afraid! She is an Awakened One after all. Her physique and self-healing ability far surpass those of mutants and enhancers. Didn't you see how she recovered from being beaten into a pig's head in just a few days?" Honglian said through gritted teeth, her flames still burning.
He then delivered a few more punches.
"Oh wow~"
Liu Ruyan screamed again.
All the women were trembling with fear, instinctively covering their chests.
The boss is making an example of someone!
I must never offend her again.
Otherwise, I'll get punched in the chest too...
A moment later, Honglian and the other girls finished venting their anger.
The group walked hand in hand, striding confidently into the inner city, seemingly oblivious to their surroundings.
With a clang, the city gate of the forging area was slammed shut again.
"Sister Ruyan!" Xiao Tian exclaimed and rushed over.
All they saw was a woman with her hair burned black, her face bruised and swollen, blood streaming from her nose, and her chest swollen from being beaten; she was completely unrecognizable.
In the afternoon, a new poster was posted on the bulletin boards in both the outer and inner cities.
The message is that Longcheng will officially leave Sunset Mountain Range tomorrow and head to Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range!
After Xiao Tian and the others left, there weren't many others left either.
Only the two temple messengers, for some unknown reason, remained.
Also present was Xue Donglai, the young city lord of the City of Ruins, and his two seventh-rank guards.
They didn't leave because they wanted Longcheng to escort them a little further, so that the Night-Shining Dew and Bodhi Fruit would last a little longer.
However, Xiao Yu still wanted to make things clear beforehand.
After all... the Beast Mountain Range is quite dangerous.
If anyone doesn't want to go to the Beast Mountain Range, they should leave Dragon City immediately.
In addition, there were the special forces members led by Chenlong and Tienan, as well as all the warriors of Dragon City.
Everyone received the notification.
Tomorrow, the archery skills will be officially tested!
"Great! Tomorrow is our chance to show our skills!" Upon seeing the poster, the soldiers who had been practicing archery for a long time were all filled with excitement.
They hadn't forgotten that the city lord had said long ago that archery skills would be tested after the trade fair.
After all... archers are far more lethal than ordinary warriors, so the city lord will definitely focus on training them.
Joining the archer team brings huge benefits!
So these days they've all been practicing archery like crazy, and they're making rapid progress.
They are just waiting for the city lord to give them a chance to show themselves.
Inside the city lord's mansion, after the posters were distributed, Xiao Yu went into the forging room.
He was studying Dragon City's latest weapon, the crossbow.
Previously... because top-quality materials were scarce, he could only choose to forge bows and arrows that required fewer materials.
But now... there are plenty of materials in the Dragon City warehouse, so Xiao Yu naturally wants to forge even better ones.
After tomorrow's archery assessment, he will equip a group of people with the latest gear.
"Fire Qilin, come help me refine iron!" Xiao Yu thought to himself and transmitted his voice to the Fire Qilin.
"Awooo..." In just a few seconds, the fire qilin transformed into a streak of fire and flew over, rushing straight into Xiao Yu's arms.
"Little Fire, help me refine this piece of iron, and I'll give you energy points to eat." Xiao Yu affectionately rubbed the fire qilin, which had transformed into a puppy, and pointed to the workbench in front of him with a smile.
On it was placed a one-cubic-meter piece of jet-black meteorite.
"Awooo..." The puppy nodded excitedly, then breathed fire and began to calcify.
Once the meteorite had completely turned into molten iron, the flame in the puppy's mouth began to change color, from orange-red to gold, then gradually deepened, and finally turned into a pitch-black color that seemed capable of swallowing everything.
As the color of the flames changed, the size of the meteorite continued to shrink.
The moment the black flames came into contact with the molten iron, they produced a sizzling sound.
Then, the molten iron, which was a full cubic meter in volume, began to decrease rapidly at a rate visible to the naked eye.
In just a quarter of an hour of calcination, only one-third of the original volume remained.
At this moment, the meteorite iron was completely black, without a trace of impurity.
"Well done, go play somewhere else." Xiao Yu patted the fire qilin's little head with satisfaction and waved his hand.
"Waaah..." The fire qilin was pushed aside, its head drooping, looking aggrieved.
"Alright, here's a reward of 100 energy points!" Xiao Yu shook his head with amusement, patted its little head, and directly rewarded it with 100 energy points.
The little guy then flew off excitedly.
Since acquiring the Fire Qilin, Xiao Yu has become too lazy to forge it himself, nor to burn it with fire.
With the Fire Qilin around, all these steps can be skipped.
"Uh... it's a bit of a waste of materials!" Xiao Yu looked at the meteorite iron that was gradually condensing and smiled helplessly. "But it doesn't matter, who told me to be rich and powerful now?"
According to his calculations, this piece of meteorite was of good quality.
After being refined through countless trials, its volume will shrink, but at most by half.
But now, two-thirds are missing, which is clearly a waste.
This further illustrates just how terrifying the Fire Qilin's pitch-black flames are.
The meteorite iron, forged through countless trials, was already impenetrable by divine weapons, yet it was still quickly burned away by the flames.
Such flames can incinerate even divine weapons; no human or ferocious beast can withstand them!
"We can't waste it too much; we'll need to have the Fire Kirin train more in the future..."
Xiao Yu pondered for a moment, then turned around and sent the Fire Qilin to work in the forging and pottery-making areas.
Starting with iron smelting and pottery firing, they mastered the art of fire and brought it to its full potential.
"Achoo!" The little guy, who was covered in fire, suddenly sneezed.
Its small body, flying in mid-air, almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
The little guy looked around and trembled with fear.
I have a feeling... that I'm being watched by some terrifying being.
"The crossbow's frame is done. What kind of ferocious beast materials should we use for the remaining parts?" In the forging room, Xiao Yu played with the crossbow he had just forged, nodded in satisfaction, and looked at the large pile of ferocious beast materials on the other workbench.
"The bowstring is made of ox tendon silkworm silk, which is both strong and elastic."
"Then insert three pheasant feathers as tail feathers to increase the arrow's stability and accuracy..."
Finally, Xiao Yu picked and chose from a pile of materials.
I chose the sinew of a level 5 brute bull and used silkworm silk to make the bowstring.
Use the feathers of the pheasant to make the tail feathers.
Thus, another major weapon of mass destruction in Dragon City was fully formed.
"Let's test its power first."
Xiao Yu played with the 5th-grade top-quality crossbow, which was jet black and shiny. With a thought, he gave an order to a pangolin that was playing on the ground.
Then, the pangolin excitedly climbed up.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”
A moment later, a terrified and aggrieved cry rang out in the courtyard of the city lord's mansion.
"Stop yelling, little one. I'll treat you right away and give you two hundred energy points to eat..."
With an awkward smile on his face, Xiao Yu reached out and placed his hand on the pangolin, forcefully pulling out the three arrows stuck in its scales, and then used his healing power to instantly heal it.
"Run faster later, and you won't get hurt!"
