Although the red-maned Yanglie didn't know why the scorpion tail needle was called an arrow when it was removed, Xiaobai said it was called an arrow, so let's call it an arrow. It can be called whatever it is. It's too unfair to make the boss angry just because of a name.
Wise.
"This is a long-range attack weapon." Xiaobai shook the bow and arrows in his hand and showed them to the knights.
Ranged weapons?!
All the knights' eyes widened. On the grassland, long-range weapons were rare. Most of them were stone throwing. They used animal sinews to restrain a stone, and then swung it, relying on inertia to throw the stone away.
However, the attack power of such a weapon is relatively low and it is somewhat effective against humans. It is a bit of a joke to use it for hunting.
Xiaobai looked at the surprised looks in the knights' eyes, nodded with satisfaction, turned around, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and aimed at the distance. With a slight release of his fingers, the arrow disappeared instantly and flew into the distance.
"Oh" the knights marveled at the birth, while the red-maned Yanglie looked extremely serious.
He knows better than other knights what long-range weapons mean on the grassland.
Unlike a forest, the grassland does not have as many shelters, so long-range weapons can maximize their attack power.
Throwing stones can have a certain effect, not to mention the bow and arrow in the boss's hand. It can shoot so far and so fast, so how can the attack power be so low?
No matter what, the power of the scorpion tail needle is greater than the power of the stone!
"Boss, I want to give it a try." Hongmane Yanglie stepped forward and said to Xiaobai in a deep voice.
"You want to give it a try? Here you go." Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, then casually put the bow into Hongmane Yanglie's hand, and pointed to the pile of materials: "Find the arrows yourself."
Naturally, Red-maned Yanglie didn't need to do this little thing himself. The knight behind him had already prepared it, and he came over with a scorpion-tail needle and handed it to Red-maned Yanglie.
The red-maned Yang Lie imitated Xiao Bai's example, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, aimed forward, and gently let go.
"Whoosh"
The scorpion tail needle disappeared instantly, and only a black dot was visible in the distance.
Although this bow was just made casually by Xiaobai, it can't hold up to the materials. The bow body is made of the shell on the tail of a giant scorpion, and the bow string is made of the sinews of the giant beast. This is definitely a high-quality one. The materials used to make bows in the forest are not available.
Such luxury.
The red-maned Yanglie was also very strong and could pull the full moon directly. Although the arrow was almost shot straight, it was still far enough.
Red-maned Yang Lie put down his bow, stretched his neck and looked into the distance, where he could vaguely see a small black dot.
The size of the power is no longer important, because it is far enough, even if the lethality is low, it doesn't matter. During the battle, as long as the opponent is injured, they will take advantage.
"This..." He was so excited that he trembled and looked at the bow in his hand in disbelief.
It's easy to make, easy to find materials, and has excellent attack range. It's like an artifact!
"Boss, this, this is a divine weapon!" Red-maned Yanglie said, trembling slightly.
"Haha, this is not a magical weapon. My tribe has already equipped it." Xiaobai said calmly.
"What?" Red-maned Yanglie's eyes widened, and then he realized what he was doing and exhaled. That's right. It would be unreasonable if Xiaobai's tribe didn't have this kind of artifact.
Xiaobai came over and took the bow from the red-maned Yanglie's hand, and signaled to the knights around him, who all stepped forward to gather around him.
"Bows and arrows look simple, but in fact they are just like knights' spears. They look simple but are difficult to use. A good archer needs constant practice and is not something that can be achieved overnight. There are many ways to use bows and arrows. It is not just for horizontal shooting.
Projection, the projectile distance is farther than the horizontal shot, but the attack power is not as good as the horizontal shot." Xiaobai paused, and seeing that the knights were listening seriously, he continued: "The wind also has an impact on the arrows shot.
"
Xiaobai felt the breeze on the grassland and nodded to them: "With the wind, the arrow can move faster and attack more powerfully, but with the wind, the opposite is true."
Simple physics, but Xiaobai is not going to explain what resistance and friction are. There is no need to talk to primitive people about this, just be straightforward.
The knights nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
"In addition, what I demonstrated just now is just the simplest bow and arrow. You can further develop the bow and arrow. For example, for the bow, you can design a recurved arc to see what effect it has. Feathers can be glued to the arrow tail to make it easier to control the direction.
, in short, I am just a guide, you have to discover how to make the bow and arrow more powerful and more suitable for you." Xiaobai said in conclusion.
"Yes, boss." Red-maned Yanglie said seriously. He already regarded bows and arrows as sacred weapons in his heart, and he would naturally take them seriously.
There is a big difference between the clergy warriors on the grassland and the clergy warriors in the forest. Generally speaking, the strength, speed and even eyesight of the clergy warriors on the grassland will increase, but generally speaking, they are still strengthened humans. They will hurt when they are cut and attacked.
The head and neck will still simply die. Their real strength lies in their mounts.
The clergy warriors in the forest are different. They are like death warriors, wearing battle armor, with scarlet eyes, and full of murderous aura. They can be said to be inhuman existences.
Precisely because of the different directions of evolution, grassland people value weapons more than forest people. Good weapons are as important to them as life.
"You can test the bow and arrow, and then make it yourself." Xiaobai threw the bow to the red-maned Yanglie, found a place to sit down, and looked at the knights with a smile.
At first, the knights were dismissive of bows and arrows, but it was different now. They all looked at the bow in the hands of the red-maned Yanglie with gleaming eyes, eager to grab it, and almost rushed to grab it.
"What's the use of looking at me? Go get the giant scorpion tail needle. Are you planning to shoot rocks?" Red-maned Yanglie rolled his eyes and shouted at these simple-minded guys.
Yes, yes, the knights just woke up from a dream, turned around one by one and rushed towards the pile of materials.
"Let me go first!"
"Die Kai, I got there first."
"I found one, haha, wait, what are you going to do, don't grab it..."
"Where's the tail? Where's the giant scorpion's tail?"
…
The pile of materials that was originally unpopular is now overcrowded. Everyone wants to experience the charm of bows and arrows in advance. What kind of brothers are not brothers at this time? Come on, good brother, let me punch you and take away the scorpion tail in your hand.
Needle it!
Seeing the messy scene, Hong-maned Yanglie immediately covered his face, what a bunch of idiots.
Xiaobai smiled and felt that these knights were really energetic, but after a while they were bruised and swollen again.
The person who found the Scorpion Tail Needle immediately ran to the red-maned Yang Lie, but was tripped by someone's leg and fell to the ground. The Scorpion Tail Needle in his hand was also snatched away.
The knight who grabbed the Scorpion Tail Needle came to the red-maned Yanglie and looked at him excitedly. The red-maned Yanglie looked at the knight with contempt, and then reluctantly handed over the bow.
