Chapter 379 Exploding Spear
Chapter 379 Exploding Spear
Deep in Daze.
The undercurrent is raging.
After a dizzying spin, the old toad landed steadily on the ground, raising a light dust.
The fat catfish carried a large boat on its back and emerged from the tunnel along Liangqu.
Liang Qu looked at the calmness of the old toad and the fat catfish, and forced himself to stand up from the ground, suppressing his dizziness.
I still have too little experience and am not very adaptable to channel transmission.
After basking in the sun, the old toad felt very sleepy, so he left first, moved his two frog legs and swam out, disappearing.
Liang Qu carried himself onto the big boat, followed the fat catfish's footsteps, and saw the long-lost big toad.
The toad did not greet the man and the beast immediately.
It poked its head out of the cave and looked around, confirming that the old toad in the distance had disappeared. Then it happily accepted the new boat and carefully wiped the hull with its claws.
"You guys are really slow this time. There hasn't been a new ship for more than half a month!"
The toad muttered and complained, which made Liang Qu stunned.
Most of the month?
Since he sent one in late August, he went to Huazhu County to control the floods, and Liu Quanfu and Heli built the blessing boat. Since then, two more boats have been sent until the end of January today.
There's been almost five months in between, right?
The fat catfish was not surprised. It swung its whiskers, indicating to Big Brother Toad that one day of sleep counted as one day, and he could sleep for nearly ten days at a time.
Liang Qu suddenly realized and explained, "Don't be angry, Your Majesty. Slow work brings out fine work. Why don't you take a look at the new items on the boat?"
"New item?"
Looking at the toad-shaped spring couplets with black characters on a red background on the ship, the warship was laid flat, and the turntable crossbow on the deck was visible at a glance.
The fat catfish took off his cloth bag and poured out more than thirty "spears" with cold and shining spear tips.
Even if the toad has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs run.
Many of the warships collected before had similar devices, but none of them were usable. They were all broken and fragmented. It had always wanted to have a complete and usable ship crossbow.
Is it possible...
The toad was delighted.
It looked up and down, left and right, and combined it with the structure of the ship crossbow it had seen and disassembled before, and learned it on its own without being taught.
First, pick up the toothpick-like spear and insert it into the barrel of the ship's crossbow. Then pull the turntable. After hearing a click that indicates it is fixed, twist the long rope and gently pull it down.
"puff!"
The long crossbow broke through the water flow, shot out more than a hundred feet, and finally crashed into the slope, raising dust wherever it landed.
Toad nearly jumped.
It grabbed the "spears" beside the fat catfish like iron sticks, picked out two, and stuffed them into the crossbows of the two ships respectively.
Twist the turntable and pull the long rope, all in one go.
Spears flew out at the same time, and two more puffs of thick smoke rose up.
"puff!"
"Pfft! Pfft!"
The toad kept pulling the rope and having a lot of fun.
Liang Qu knew that his decision was correct.
What’s the point of always giving boats as gifts? No matter how much you like something, you’ll get tired of it if you give it too many times. You have to come up with something new.
Moreover, the ship crossbow cannot be just for decoration, it must be truly useful and easy to use.
But if it is too easy to use, it will result in losses. The purpose of giving away ships is to make money, and to make money in the long run.
Therefore Liang Qu put a lot of thought into it.
It is impossible for an ordinary arrow to be shot very far underwater. If it is not far, it will be meaningless and there will be no pleasure of violence.
Therefore, the material of more than thirty ship crossbow arrows is all Xuanshui iron.
After Liang Qu became the River God, the standard weapon Xuanshui Spear given by Hebo was made of the same material as Liang Qu, and was later passed on to Li Libo and Chen Jiechang for use.
This thing has average hardness and toughness, but its biggest advantage is that it is less affected by water resistance and it is cheap!
"Fist" has been in the [burrowing] state for several months since it entered the pond. The patterns on its back have gradually become obvious, its defensive capabilities have begun to become supermodel, and its perception range has also spread a lot.
There is Xuanshui iron ore under Liang Qu's several acres of land, but the price of Xuanshui iron is not much higher than ordinary Xuan iron. Instead of hiring someone to demolish walls and dig holes, making it uninhabitable, it is better to ignore it.
Due to its advantages of being cheap and having little impact on water resistance, almost all the bows and arrows on the crossbows on the ships in Hebo are forged with this material.
Of course, the bows and crossbows of the regular army are of much better quality, and are also refined ten times or more.
In the Dashun weapon refining industry, there is a unique craft called stacking forging, which can transform low-grade materials into high-quality treasures.
Ten parts stacked together make a ten-refined weapon, and one hundred parts stacked together make a hundred-refined weapon. This is how Liang Qu's black iron bow came about, and it was built for Liu Jie at a huge cost.
However, the pile given to Toad was obviously the most basic one.
There are more than thirty pieces in total, and the package price is only more than four hundred taels. The labor cost is not much. It is produced by an apprentice named Li Yuan under Lu Gang.
Shot more than thirty times in a row.
The toad shot all the spears on the edge of his claws into the air, but he still felt unsatisfied.
It ran to the hillside, smoothed the top of the hill, and picked the spear out of the mud.
Liang Qu remained silent as he watched the toad shaping the terrain like he was kneading plasticine.
After picking up the spear, Toad was in a good mood and asked Liang Qu what he wanted to exchange it for.
As a result, I heard Liang Qu asking for the precious fish.
The toad was in trouble and scratched its head.
"Today is a holiday, and all the delicious fish have been used to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner. I don't have much left..."
My goodness, dragon people celebrate the Spring Festival, and toads celebrate it too, right?
Liang Qu was speechless for a moment.
But then I thought about it, it was normal.
Apart from border areas and deep mountains and old forests, where is there no place where the human race is powerful and martial arts are flourishing?
The worship of the strong is everywhere.
As Dashun became powerful, the surrounding small countries were proud to celebrate Dashun's festivals and even sent gifts.
Like a demon.
Human culture is a strong culture.
For monsters, if they want to study, they must first learn the human language.
What enlightenment is best?
Naturally, you should start by learning about the solar terms and other enlightenment books.
It is normal for culture to invade a group of monsters who have no foundation and lead to imitation, which then becomes a custom of the monsters.
"No problem, my king, why don't you let me take a look first? I'll pick the precious fish, it doesn't matter if it tastes good or not."
In the eyes of a toad, only delicious fish are good treasure fish.
But Liangqu just wants something that is useful.
Although the toad was puzzled, he still took out two large shells from behind him. There were eight precious fish swimming in the transparent barrier.
After looking carefully for a while, Liang Qu was unsure and picked two of the largest precious fish.
afterwards.
Liang Qu looked at the big shell and said, "My lord, I wonder what this shell is and why it can imprison the precious fish?"
"It's useless. The shell can imprison the treasure fish, not because of its ability. It's just a shell."
"Ok."
Liang Qu looked up at the sky, saw the water was turning yellow, and said goodbye.
"Wait, the warship is great, I'll give you something else."
The toad ran out of the cave, stretched out its claws to rummage in the belly of a warship that was broken into two pieces, and took out three "short spears" about one and a half meters long.
The "short spear" has a rather strange shape, is pitch black all over, and is very thick.
"Your Majesty, this is..."
"The Exploding Spear was left in a warship. I wonder if it can be used. Wait, I'll give it a try and let you see."
Toad picked up one with his hand, about a hundred meters away from Liangqu, and gently pressed the two ends.
The moment the short spear bent and deformed.
boom!
The violent torrent hit us head on.
The entire bottom of the water was covered with flying mud and sand, like a strong wind passing through, and yellow fog was flowing close to the ground.
Liang Qu and the fat catfish felt as if their chests were hit by a heavy hammer. They rolled over and flew out, fell to the ground and ate several mouthfuls of mud and sand.
Toad leaned over and said, "I haven't played it for a long time. I just remembered it when I saw the boat crossbow today. I kind of forgot its power. Are you okay?"
"it's okay no problem."
Liang Qu spat out the mud in his mouth, stood up from the ground, took the two remaining spears from Toad, and thanked him tremblingly.
"Thank you, my king, for the spear."
