236, an arrow piercing the clouds, thousands of troops and horses come to meet each other
"My lord, what do you want, is the sounding arrow?"
In the military casting room of the Ten Kingdoms Martial Arts Battlefield branch of Huaxia Pavilion, Shi Songtao opened his mouth after listening to Zhou Shu's description.
"It can be understood this way."
Zhou Shu nodded and said, "Can it be done?"
"It's not a big problem."
Shi Songtao nodded and said, "In the past, there were standard sounding arrows in the Daxia army. When they were shot high into the sky, they could make a sound."
"Standard sounding arrow, no."
Zhou Shu shook his head, "I have learned that Daxia's standard bows and arrows can only shoot a distance of three hundred steps at most. The sounding arrows I want must be able to shoot a thousand steps, at least!"
"Otherwise, they will have no effect."
If you are in the outside world, sentries can be placed at regular intervals.
In that case, ordinary sounding arrows are enough for use.
But here, the armies are scattered everywhere, and they don’t know how far apart they are from each other.
If it were only shot three hundred steps into the sky, the army in the distance might not be able to detect the sound of the arrow.
"Your Majesty, these exquisite feather arrows..."
Shi Songtao was surprised and said, this kind of thing is not impossible, but it is too rare.
Feather arrows are consumables in themselves. Who would be willing to use a high-quality weapon as a consumable?
Shi Songtao was just about to say that the cost was too expensive, when he saw Zhou Shu pointing outside.
Yes, it’s expensive, but it’s not a big problem for them now.
There are mountains of weapon-making materials outside, so there is no need to worry about running out.
Moreover, there are hundreds of monster miners working day and night, and their materials for forging weapons will only increase.
"I'm not sure if the high-quality sounding arrow can be made."
Shi Songtao said with some anxiety.
Developing high-quality weapons is a technical task, and no one can guarantee it until it succeeds.
"If I didn't let you develop it yourself, you wouldn't have me."
Zhou Shu said, "The requirements for this sounding arrow are very simple. First, the range must be far, and second, the movement must be loud enough."
"You only need to design two star roads inside it, one star road is used to accelerate, and the other star road is used to generate movement."
"Let's try to find out what materials to use to cast its body..."
One is the current number one weapon-making genius in Daxia, and the other is the former number one weapon-making genius in Daxia. The two of them worked together to develop an ordinary high-grade feather arrow, which was not difficult at all.
Without pursuing lethality, they quickly completed the development work.
This is also because they don’t need to worry about the materials for casting weapons at all, so they can experiment freely.
After another two or three days, they finally succeeded in casting an arrow that fully met Zhou Shu's requirements.
Looking at the arrow, Shi Songtao's face was full of excitement, "Your Majesty, after being shot, this arrow can automatically control the wind, and its range can reach up to three thousand steps!"
He had no idea that the effect of this arrow would be so incredible.
It's a pity that in pursuit of range, it ignores lethality.
Otherwise, if the lethality can be maintained within a distance of three thousand steps, it would definitely be a shocking thing.
Even so, it is already amazing enough now.
Zhou Shu shook his head, not looking too excited.
Shi Songtao admired him very much. He was indeed a prince. He kept striving for perfection, but he was still not satisfied with the feathers and arrows.
What he didn't know was that Zhou Shu shook his head because Zhou Shu discovered that after the feather arrow was developed, it was not included in the Atlas of Divine Weapons!
He thought about it and suddenly understood.
Whether a weapon will be included in the Divine Weapon Atlas seems to be related to the sense of belonging of the weapon.
Only when the ownership of the weapon or the secret recipe for making the weapon belongs to himself, the Atlas of Divine Weapons will include it.
From this point of view, the previous failure to include Zhenguo Ding in the Divine Weapon Atlas was not just because of lack of strength, but because of ownership issues.
This ringing arrow was developed by him and Shi Songtao together, and the ownership rights belong to both of them.
Therefore, it is normal that the Atlas of Divine Weapons is not included.
"It's not difficult to make this arrow. You make the arrow body, and I'll point out the stars to determine the path. I can make two arrows a day. It's not a big problem."
Zhou Shu said.
The casting of imported weapons takes time, which also depends on the situation.
Relatively speaking, this arrow is not too difficult to cast.
Of course, this is mainly because of the excellent strength of Zhou Shu and Shi Songtao.
An ordinary weapon-casting division would probably not be able to achieve this speed.
However, Zhou Shu is still not satisfied with this speed.
Two arrows a day. Based on the ten arrows he wanted to equip Mei Wushang and others, with more than 30 people, he would need at least more than 300 arrows.
According to the current casting speed, it will take at least five or six months to complete.
The battlefield situation was changing rapidly, how could they wait for five or six months!
Unfortunately, there are only two weapon forging masters, Zhou Shu and Shi Songtao, in the Huaxia Pavilion Ten Kingdoms Martial Arts Battlefield branch. Even if he wants to increase the casting speed, there is no way for the time being.
In this way, we can only reduce the rations for Mei Wushang and others to shorten the time!
Zhou Shu and Shi Songtao almost never slept, and the sound of clanking and clanging could be heard in the barracks room.
Finally, on the tenth day, the two walked out of the forging room.
Mei Wushang and his party were already ready to set off.
"Put this arrow away."
Zhou Shu asked Shi Songtao to distribute the arrows they forged to everyone in Mei Wushang.
"If you find Daxia's army and encounter any danger, you can shoot this arrow into the air."
Zhou Shu said, "If it is within a thousand miles, I will find a way to support you. If it is a thousand miles away, then I can only see if you are nearby."
"Remember, this arrow is called the Cloud-piercing Arrow. It has no lethality. Don't try to use it to attack the enemy. It has only one function, and that is to convey messages."
"An arrow pierces the clouds, and thousands of troops come to meet you."
"Whenever my Daxia army sees the Cloud-Piercing Arrow, they will do their best to save it. You must inform all the armies you encounter about this matter."
Before Zhou Shu finished speaking, Shi Songtao beside him had already shot a cloud-piercing arrow into the sky.
A whistle-like sound went straight into the sky.
Then the cloud-piercing arrow exploded into a ball of bright light like fireworks.
A thousand miles in radius may be an exaggeration, but the movement of this cloud-piercing arrow should be visible within a radius of hundreds of miles.
"Have you seen everything?"
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice.
"Saw it!"
Mei Wushang and others were shocked.
They realized a problem. The prince's shooting of the cloud-penetrating arrow exposed the location of the camp. The demon army within hundreds of miles would probably notice this movement.
If this happens, they will definitely besiege you soon.
Attracted by this place, they may ignore themselves and others. In this case, it may be easier for them to find the Daxia army.
"Da Sikong."
Before Mei Wushang and others could react, Zhou Shu spoke again.
Yin Wuyou walked out from his side, and with her was Haitang.
Haitang is holding a rough wooden tray, with porcelain vases placed on the wooden tray.
Yin Wuyou distributed a porcelain vase to each of Mei Wushang and others. After the porcelain vase was distributed, she returned behind Zhou Shu again, as quiet as a maid.
"Put it away."
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice, "In this porcelain bottle, there is a pill. When you encounter a life or death crisis, take them. I don't want to say more about the efficacy of this pill, but you remember, this pill can last for one person's lifetime."
There is only one chance to take it."
"And you remember, if you encounter a desperate situation, swallow this elixir before you die. This elixir must not fall into the hands of people from the demon world!"
Zhou Shu's voice was stern. This was the first time that everyone saw Zhou Shu look so stern.
They knew that the matter was of great importance, and they all said solemnly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we swear to death that we will not let this pill fall into the hands of the enemy."
This porcelain bottle contains the Breaking Realm Pill.
Zhou Shu decided to do this with great determination.
Even with Zhou Shu's current status, once the Breaking Realm Pill is leaked, there will be endless troubles.
Its effect is more attractive than any other exercises or weapons.
Those warriors who are stuck in a bottleneck, if they learn that there is such a magical object as the Breakthrough Pill, they will risk their lives to get one.
Zhou Shu is now taking a huge risk by sending out more than 30 coins at once.
Once people like Mei Wushang leak out the effect of the Breaking Realm Pill, Zhou Shu doesn't know how much trouble there will be.
However, after everyone experienced life and death together, Zhou Shu felt that Mei Wushang and others would not betray him.
In fact, from a utilitarian point of view, it is not cost-effective to give Mei Wushang and others the Realm Breaking Pill.
The Realm Breaking Pill is effective for warriors below the first level of martial arts. It can improve the level of the first level warrior regardless of all conditions.
It is actually the most cost-effective to give it to martial artists of the second level of martial arts.
In this way, with more than thirty realm-breaking pills, there can be more than thirty strong men of the first level of martial arts!
You know, the Qin Dynasty, the strongest among the ten kingdoms, has all its plans, but it only has so many strong men of the first level of martial arts.
Mei Wushang and others, Mei Wushang, who has the highest level of cultivation, is only at the sixth level of martial arts. The rest of them are almost all at the sixth or seventh level of martial arts.
Even if they take the Realm-Breaking Pill, they will only be promoted to the fifth level of martial arts.
A fifth-grade martial artist, placed on the entire battlefield, is nothing more than cannon fodder.
It can be said that no matter whether Mei Wushang and the others can survive after completing the mission this time, these more than thirty realm-breaking pills are all wasted.
Of course, for Zhou Shu, it can't be said to be a waste.
He doesn't take out the Realm Breaking Pill easily because he's afraid of trouble.
But when the need arises, he will not be stingy.
It was just more than thirty realm-breaking pills. He took the Qiu Shui Yan Fei Dao and walked among the demon world army and earned it back.
Mei Wushang and others were given at least two standard weapons each, and Zhou Shu personally escorted them a hundred miles outside the camp.
Yao Qing's army and the five thousand monster beasts left behind by Yao Zhi are still stationed in the original place.
It's just that they haven't attacked the camp, as if they were waiting for reinforcements.
The departure of Mei Wushang and others could not be hidden from the demon world's army, which possesses avian monsters.
But when they saw Zhou Shu's figure, all the monsters, including Yao Qing, were dormant in the camp, fearing that Zhou Shu's shocking sword would come again!
When Zhou Shu left the camp, Yao Buqi hesitated again and again, but finally did not dare to risk his escape.
A strong man whose strength is comparable to that of a great demon, let alone his spiritual essence being sealed, even when his cultivation is at its peak, if the opponent wants to kill him, he will not be able to escape.
The evil spirit's cultivation level is higher than his, what's the result?
You escaped so far and were killed with a sword?
Yao Buqi has now accepted his fate, and he decided that before that adult arrives, he will continue to endure the humiliation and never anger that person.
Isn’t it just mining?
Is this still a big deal for monsters?
After sending Mei Wushang and others away, Zhou Shu passed Yao Qing's camp leisurely.
It took him a lot of effort to suppress the impulse in his heart.
Use your magical power to sweep through thousands of armies and go in to kill Yao Qing!
However, with his current magical power that can sweep through thousands of armies, his combat power is doubled ten times and lasts for thirty breaths.
Killing Yao Qing is not a big problem, but it will definitely not be able to kill all this army of 10,000 monsters.
Once the cooldown time of the magical power is up, these monsters and monsters can kill him if they try even slightly.
Although the probability of those monster beasts daring to attack him is low, who can guarantee that there won’t be a few dumbfounded youths among these monster beasts?
Now Yao Qing doesn't dare to move, he really can't risk his life to try.
Anyway, his strength is still improving.
Sooner or later, when he can easily kill Yao Qing without using his magical powers, it will not be too late to do it at that time.
"Your Majesty, do we want to get rid of those monster beasts?"
Zhou Shu doesn't want to take risks, but there are people in the camp who are eager to try.
As soon as they returned to the camp, Shi Songtao came up and said.
After Mei Wushang and others left, only the original four of them were left in the camp.
Yao Buqi and those monster miners are not humans...
But unlike before, Shi Songtao is not worried at all now.
After seeing Zhou Shu kill hundreds of monsters with one sword, and then kill a first-level martial arts monster with one sword, Shi Songtao simply worshiped Zhou Shu as a god.
The prince alone can serve as a million soldiers!
With the prince here, an army of ten thousand demonic beasts is nothing more than a country dog and a chicken. I haven’t seen them for so many days. They are huddled there, not daring to move?
"Okay, you go and deal with them, I will hold the battle for you."
Zhou Shu said angrily.
Deputy Pavilion Master Shi is a little distracted, and he doesn’t even care about the army of 10,000 monsters?
I don’t even dare to speak so loudly.
"I——"
Shi Songtao was stunned and said, "How can I do this?"
If he goes, he is afraid that he will be crushed into a meat pie by others.
"Don't be stunned. It's not like you have nothing to do."
Zhou Shu said, "The war has just begun. I don't know how many more weapons the army will need."
"There is no shortage of materials for forging weapons now. If you don't hurry up and forge weapons, is it possible that when the army comes, let them take the materials for forging weapons and go into battle to kill the enemy?"
"If you have the ability to forge a high-quality weapon in a few days, just pretend I didn't tell you."
Shi Songtao grinned awkwardly, he didn't have this ability either.
How can you cast a high-quality weapon in just three or two days? It's not like casting a cloud-penetrating arrow.
"I know, I'll go right away——"
"Deputy Pavilion Master, we must hurry up while there is still time."
Zhou Shu continued, "Let's compare and see which of us can forge more high-quality weapons before the next war."
