Chapter 133 Setting up camp
After inhaling the poisonous breath, the eared rats let the elephants hunt. They seemed to understand that they should not fish in dry swamps.
The elephant hunters were frightened and then retreated into the mountain abyss, leaving only the witless snakes on the dangerous peaks and continuing to pour into the mountains and forests.
Without the danger of the ferocious beasts, this tide of snakes poses no threat to the wild people of Liu Xun.
The whole body is armed with animal bone bright light armor. The poisonous snake cannot break through the defense. Even if it bites through the gap, the venom will be blocked by the tough animal skin.
After clearing away the snakes, Li instructed some women to cook snake soup, and also used snake meat to make some delicious and delicious dishes, which were distributed to all the wild people.
The rest of the snake parts were thrown to the wild boars. These guys would accept anyone who came. Even the remaining toxins from the venomous snakes could be carried away. At most, they would lie down on the ground to rest for a period of time.
There are fruits and plant roots in the mountains and forests, and food for the white apes is also available.
Liu Xun was eating fried snake meat and was a little surprised by the taste of the dish.
Li’s cooking skills are quite good.
When asked about him, Li coughed and gasped: "In the tribe, I am relatively weak and do not need to hunt. I often stay in the tribe. Over time, I have become better at this."
Liu Xun saw a hint of loneliness in Li's eyes.
This somewhat quick-witted and calm Mizuno is probably tired of his illness. If it were not hindered by his illness, his prospects would be more than this.
Liu Xun looked at Li's melancholy look and had an idea in his mind.
The disease Li suffered from was most likely an innate plague. If he cooperated with the martial arts methods related to plague and absorbed the essence and blood of a plague beast into his body, his martial arts achievements would probably not be weaker than others.
The word "Xiantian" of "Xiantian Plague Dao" is not just talk.
Before you surrender, the Innate Plague Dao is a reminder of your life, but as long as you surrender, it will definitely become the nourishment for the improvement of Li Martial Dao.
The problem is back to the beginning. Liu Xun needs to find a martial arts technique that focuses on plague. The worst part of condensing evil must also be related to plague, so that he can control the innate plague in Li's body from a dominant position.
Plague beasts are easy to find, Liu Xun is not worried about this.
In addition, Li needs to abolish the blood essence and return to the body tempering realm just like the wild people of the Yang tribe.
Li is seriously ill, and it is very dangerous to lose his strength. The dangers he faces may be similar to those of old people like Pu.
In response to this, Liu Xun needed a gentle way to protect Li's life, lest he couldn't bear it.
Liu Xun sighed in his heart: "It's time to refine another batch of elixirs."
Liu Xun is highly accomplished in the elixir path. He collected many elixir recipes in his previous life and matched them with those in the Wilderness Scripture. He used the essence and blood of the evil disaster to refine many elixirs with strange effects.
But at that time, he was already an old demon from the underworld, and others did not know Liu Xun’s alchemy realm at all.
There are even people who are exploring the source of the old demon elixir of Huangquan, suspecting that Liu Xun has colluded with a certain alchemy family or mountain sect, which has given Liu Xun some breathing time.
Liu Xun shook his head and turned to eat the food in front of him.
After having a full meal, the wild people set up the spear throwers they came with. This is a mountainous forest environment, and the spear throwers are basically useless.
After changing the environment, all the previously stored supplies were brought over.
The collected white ape stone sticks were nailed into the ground and formed a circle of fine stone pillar fences.
These stone sticks provide better protection than wooden fences.
Following beast tides will appear here, so the wild people need a pass that is easy to defend.
Among the wild people present, only Ben knew something about defensive facilities. Without Liu Xun giving any advice, he chose a strange building.
Liu Xun looked at the patterns on the animal skin paper and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
This kind of protective building, which even he has never seen before, has very complete functions.
An inverted pyramid stands on the ground. The triangles are supported by hard logs to make the inverted pyramid stable.
This is the most difficult point, but there are many tree resources nearby, so there is no need to worry about support.
On the inverted pyramid is a wide platform filled with defensive equipment, and a watchtower is erected in the center.
If the beast tide comes from the ground, it will be difficult to climb up the inverted pyramid, and there are many pillars, so it will not be easily knocked down by the beast tide. Liu Xun smiled: "The advantages are good, but have you considered that the beast tide comes from the sky?"
Ben was speechless, and he fell into silence.
Although veteran Caisi quickly adapted to his role as a general, Ben had very little experience in war, so it was inevitable that he would not consider things thoroughly.
When Liu Xun raised objections, Ben fell silent.
For a long time, Ben said in a hoarse voice: "We still have spear throwing weapons, maybe let the craftsman make another weapon with a higher firing frequency!"
If the beast tide really comes from the sky. If you come up, anti-air weapons are the key to defending against enemies.
If they cannot effectively kill the aerial beast tide, they will be left behind in the next wave of beasts and attack together with the new beast tide. In this way, the snowball will get bigger and bigger, and the only possibility is defeat in the end.
The craftsman, as one of the wise wild people, was also present. Hearing Ben's request, he hurriedly said: "The production requirements for crossbows are very high, and the power of throwing spears is not enough. I really can't think of any weapon that can Fight against the beast tide in the air.”
Bi’s proposal seems simple, but the actual operation is very difficult.
Benjian Takumi denied his idea, frowned, and said seriously: "Aren't there any simple long-range weapons?"
"Long-range weapons are more difficult to make than melee weapons. Spear throwers are already It’s the simplest craft, how much simpler do you want it to be?”
"Do you think this is a toy for children to throw stones at?" The craftsman foamed at the corner of his mouth and began to talk nonstop, as if he wanted to do whatever he wanted.
As soon as Jiang finished speaking, both Liu Xun and Ben turned their attention to him.
The craftsman was embarrassed and asked: "What are you looking at me doing?"
During this period, the craftsman learned the language and became familiar with the wording.
Ben patted the tree trunk next to him, his eyes flashing: "Just throwing stones!"
"Sling!" Liu Xun knew what Ben wanted to say.
Among the long-range weapons that burst out in a short distance, the craft of the sling is simple, and there is no restriction on the materials. A familiar vine and a stone will suffice.
Although the sling is mainly used against enemies on the ground, there is no problem in using it against enemies in the air.
Its characteristic is that it explodes at close range, and the damage in short range is much higher than that of a spear thrower, but it does not have the piercing effect of a spear thrower.
Suppose there is a wave of beasts in the air, then the sling is a good anti-air weapon.
When using a sling on flat ground, ordinary wild people can use it freely with a little training. However, if the enemy comes from the air, and if they want to throw stones from the sky, the arm strength of the wild people will not be able to use the sling.
The craftsman is a weapon craftsman, and Ben is a battlefield warrior, both of whom are well aware of the weakness of the sling.
But is there no way to make up for the shortcomings?
No!
Liu Xun pointed at the white ape climbing around in the tree with a meaningful look on his face.
What he means is self-evident.
If you don’t have enough strength, just let these powerful white apes do the work.
A white ape that can be trained as a cavalry should have good imitation skills. As long as it is taught a few times, it will be no problem to use a sling.
When there is no aerial beast tide, White Ape can continue to form a cavalry with Boar to rush into the formation for Liu Xun.
It seems that it was a wise decision to conquer some white apes before.
The craftsman happily accepted the order and started making a batch of slings.
Before the sling was made, the white ape was misappropriated to other places.
Such as logging, transporting wood, and building an inverted pyramid.
When the sling is completed, Ben will train the white apes to use this simple long-range weapon.
"Brother Cao, I finally got to you!" Dou Fang, the uninvited guest's voice, came from the forest.
