Chapter 177 Explosive Discovery
Listening to Qi Yang's story, Bai Tian was shocked.
What Qi Yang was talking about was actually the sleeve arrow, or a small crossbow!
He didn't expect that these people were so smart and could think of making small crossbows so quickly.
Of course, making a small crossbow is not that easy. The hardness and toughness of the bow, as well as the toughness of the string are all big problems.
But Qi Yang and his team said they had previously discovered that soaking cattle tendon in insect blood could make a more resilient bowstring. As for the bow problem, they had considered many solutions over the years, but had never been able to implement them.
After they finished talking, they rushed to find Jiang Lian. If they could really make a small crossbow, the combat effectiveness of the Lieshan tribe would be greatly improved, and the migration would be more secure...
The next day, Jiang Lian took Bai Tian, Qi Yu and others to the mine of Lieshan tribe.
Then, Bai Tian, Qi Yu and others' faces turned dark.
The so-called ore refining of the Lieshan tribe was actually not any refining at all. Instead, they simply picked up the ready-made ore and hammered it lightly with stones.
In other words, the Lieshan tribe actually occupied a very extraordinary mine!
This mine is really exaggerated. Even during the day, it feels like those are not ores, but ready-made iron that can be directly polished into sharp weapons.
This discovery was naturally a cause for joy for Bai Tian, Qi Yu and the others, but at the same time they also felt sad.
It's a pity that we have such a mine but don't know how to use it for hunting. Instead, we just want to study plants.
So for the next month or so, Bai Tian and Qi Yu and others were very busy.
They had to hunt for the Lieshan tribe, build mines and make tools, and at the same time teach the people of the Lieshan tribe to practice cultivation.
Because Qi Yu and others could not speak the same language as the Lieshan tribe, they could only rely on translation during the day, and they talked their mouths off during the day.
A month later, Qi Yang and his companions finally made a small crossbow. Although it looked crude and had average damage, it was still a good way to protect the child.
Of course, a lot of bows and arrows were also made for adults to use, mainly with sharp arrowheads, which greatly increased the lethality.
During the day, he polished more than ten small daggers that were similar to scalpels. His previous batch of millipede daggers and golden machetes had been lost in the underworld, so now was the perfect time to replenish them.
I had originally planned to stay a little longer during the day and make good use of the mine.
However, the tribe was attacked by a herd of beasts again.
Although Bai Tian, Qi Yu and others protected them, two people still died.
So Bai Tian and Jiang Lian decided that they couldn't wait any longer and that the tribe should migrate...
This team was quite unique: out of nearly two hundred men, only less than forty were capable of fighting. The rest were either elderly and children, or had never hunted before.
Another big problem with the migration of tribes with many children is that the children are prone to being disobedient and running around everywhere.
However, the children of the Lieshan tribe are very special, they are all very obedient. And during the day, I discovered that the Lieshan tribe is really obsessed with studying herbs, even the children are obsessed with it.
The team walked towards Black Sky City for about a month and encountered another small tribe with only more than twenty people.
After some difficult communication, Bai Tian learned that this small tribe came from a distant mountain and they also wanted to find support from a large tribe. Thus, the team grew stronger.
Twenty days later, they encountered another tribe of more than thirty people, also wanting to seek support from the larger tribe. However, this tribe did not go with them, and they did not force them to do so.
As we traveled further, we discovered during the day that the tribes that had once lived in the mountains and forests had all migrated to the plains or large basins.
Apparently, life in the mountains became increasingly difficult, forcing humans to leave the forests and gather on the plains...
In a blink of an eye, Bai Tian led the Lieshan tribe's team for a year, but still did not reach the Black Sky City.
Qi Yu and the others said that judging from the distance they had traveled in pursuit of Fu Sheng, it would probably take another half a year to reach Black Sky City!
This made Bai Tian feel very melancholy. He had always thought that he was near the Black Sky City, so how could he be so far away?
During this year's migration, the children of the Lieshan tribe have grown a lot, and many of them have already reached the edge of cultivation.
I was surprised to discover during the day that compared to adults, children are actually more likely to find the secrets to cultivation. Perhaps children have richer thoughts and are more likely to let their imaginations run wild.
During the day, I also discovered that not everyone has the talent for cultivation. It might also be because the current cultivation methods are too simple and some people really can't understand them.
But no matter what, the combat effectiveness of the migrating tribes will always gradually improve...
Because of the rainy season, the team was forced to stay in the forest for almost a month.
One day, Bai Tian was practicing in his straw hut when Jiang Lian suddenly ran in and said excitedly, "Bai Tian, Bai Tian."
When Bai Tian opened his eyes and saw the patriarch's excited face, he couldn't help but wonder: "Patriarch, what's wrong?"
Jiang Lian suppressed his excitement and whispered, "Let's go and see it."
Bai Tian was even more confused, so he stood up and followed Jiang Lian out.
It was still drizzling at this time. Bai Tian and Jiang Lian arrived at a thatched hut behind the tribe, where several people were staying.
When I got closer during the day, I saw a clay pot in the middle of a fire, but it was filled with wood ash.
Bai Tian was even more confused: "What's going on?"
Jiang Lian's eyes sparkled as he used a wooden stick to remove the wood ash from the clay pottery. During the day, he saw a few fiery red particles that looked like burnt wood.
Jiang Lian lowered his voice and said, "During the day, we discovered that this thing can increase a person's strength. It is very likely the elixir you mentioned."
Pills?!
Bai Tian's mind suddenly trembled, and he quickly asked, "Are you sure?"
"I'm not sure yet, but we tried it just now, and it does make you feel stronger, and it doesn't make you crazy like before, so I called you over to try it."
Hearing Jiang Lian's words, Bai Tian's heart couldn't help but beat wildly. If it really was an elixir, it would explode!
During the day, two fiery red balls were taken out of the clay ceramics. After cooling, they turned into black "charcoal".
He picked it up during the day and sniffed it, but it had no smell. He put it in his mouth and it tasted a bit bitter, but he still forced himself to eat it.
Sure enough, as soon as I took it, I felt a wave of heat in my body during the day. It really does contain power!
Although this power was very weak for him, it should be a very good supplement for ordinary people. Most importantly, this discovery was simply too explosive!
"How did you do that?" Bai Tian asked in shock.
Jiang Lian explained, "We originally wanted to boil all the herbs into the porridge you mentioned, but we overcooked it and it turned into these small particles. Then I poured the medicinal broth into the porridge and found that it was actually absorbed..."
