Chapter 51: Preparation before the event

Just when he turned around, he found a faint blue light not far from that direction.

There are blue level resources over there.

He search around and found that there are no wild animals nearby, so he walked over.

It was a blue poplar tree.

"A bumper harvest! It just so happened that the blue-level wood are almost used up." Xu Xin happily cut down the poplar tree.

After putting away the newly found pieceses of wood*(blue), Xu Xin looked at the direction of the stone pillars he had seen early before where the sight was blocked by the dense jungle, but he could still see some blue light mixed with green light.

"I won't go today. It's important to go back and make the crossbow and compound crossbow." Xu Xin looked at the pile of materials in the backpack and decided to return.

This source area is surrounded by a circle of highlands, but there is an exit on the slopes of the hill.

Xu Xin looked at the nearest exit and on the map that was covered with red dots, which should be the habitat of wild beast.

Forget it, he still had to climb the mountain and turn over, he didn't want to face the herd of wild boars.

There were no wild animals around because it was still within the scope of the resource area, there were only a few green spots in several corners throughout the hill area, so Xu Xin pick up all the green resources that he could get .

Returning to the top of the hill, Xu Xin looked back at the stone pillar again.

"Huh? Has that statue changed?" Xu Xin frowned, a little confused.

Although he couldn't see what the statue look alike was, the shape of the statue seemed to have changed.

Xu Xin was very curious, but his heart still felt restless and chose to leave. The cave back than only emitted green light and there is a black bear living in there but that place emitted a blue light, so it has more dangerous creatures than the black bear cave

Let's upgrade the equipment first.

"Hmm, it would be great if I could contract a mount." Xu Xin sighed as he looked at the distance here to way back their home.

Coco was still lying comfortably on his shoulders.

"Can I really ride you when you grow up?"

Xu Xin rubbed the little guy's head. Meanwhile Coco was make stunned because can he really grow up that big?

After nearly an hour of trekking, Xu Xin finally returned to the tree house. It was already afternoon, and he was hungry.

When he walking to the synthesis table, he wanted to search if there was any tool that could extract the salt.

As expected, Xu Xin found an iron tool in the crafting list.

[Salt Distillation Extractor (Green): Add salt crystals and water. Than add fuel below, and get a pure table salt. Requires iron block (green)*2, wood (green)*5]

"It's pleasant ." Xu Xin immediately made the extractor.

This is iron tool. Is an item that Xu Xin unlocked after getting the golden treasure box. Currently, only he and Ji Chaoyang can make it. That is to say, even if others find the salt mine, they cannot make the extractor or get the fine table salt.

Of course, there is no rule out there that some people will use their own methods to purify the table salt.

Xu Xin put salt crystals and water into the extractor, and added a few pieces of white wood to make the extractor work. He took advantage of this time to make a blue-grade backpack.

[Excellent backpack (blue): A backpack with 20 grids. The amount of materials that can be placed in each grid is determined by the type of materials, which can reduce the weight of materials to 10% of the original weight. ]

There are ten more grids than the green-level backpack, and the weight is reduced by half! In that way, Xu Xin can take more things.

Continue of being busy, Xu Xin still has to make both the crossbow and the heavy crossbow.

Crossbow bolts require similar materials to bow arrows.

[Crossbow bolt (green): The arrow is made of iron, the arrow body is made of wood, equipped with feathers, a very standard crossbow bolt, precise strike! recyclable. Crossbow bolt (green)*20 requires iron block (green)*2, wood (white)*2, feather (green)*2]

Crossbow bolts need feathers, and he only has four owl feathers that he picked up after the beast riot, so he can only make 40 crossbow bolts. But since it can be recycled, it is enough for the time being.

Xu Xin used wood (green) to make crossbow bolts, which should allow the crossbow bolts to be recycled more often.

At once glance, he saw another crossbow that could be made.

[Poison crossbow (green): Poison the crossbow to obtain a poison crossbow, the poison can kill small beasts. It can be recycled and turned into ordinary crossbow bolts after recycling. Poison crossbow (green)*20 requires crossbow (green)*20, poison sac (green)*1]

One poison sack can make 20 poison crossbow bolts!

Xu Xin immediately made 20 poisonous crossbows. The arrows of the poisonous crossbows were covered with a light green layer, which was easy to distinguish from ordinary crossbows. In this way, he has 20 ordinary crossbow bolts and 20 poison crossbow bolts.

Crossbows need wood (green)*5, iron block (green)*2, animal tendon (green)*1, according to Xu Xin's experience, blue-level tools require a blue-level main material, and he does not have Blue-level beast tendons, so he can only make green-level crossbows first.

Although it is a green-level crossbow, it still feels heavy in the hand.

"Finally, I have a long-range attack method!" Xu Xin exclaimed. He tried to fit the ordinary crossbow bolt into the crossbow, but it took a lot of effort to fit it.

"Shouldn't this cause a wounds?" Xu Xin observed carefully, and found that there was a place on the front end of the crossbow that could be stepped on. He took off the bolts from the crossbow, than tried to put the front end of the crossbow on the ground. Step there with the foot and pull the string up. With this time it was easier to install a crossbow than directly.

"It turns out that I can wind the string with the feet. It is so laborious to wind the string, no wonder it is so powerful."

Xu Xin came to the window, aimed at the trunk of the poplar tree outside, and pulled the trigger.

"Swoosh!" "Crack!"

The crossbow shot exactly where he wanted to shoot, the entire crossbow was submerged in more than half of the tree trunk, and the tail of the crossbow was still trembling slightly.

"So powerful!" Xu Xin was very satisfied with the power of the crossbow. He went down and retrieved the arrows, and used the crafting table to make a small wooden quiver. The quiver can hold 100 arrows, and Xu Xin put all the arrows in it and hung them aside.

Then there are the heavy crossbow installed outside the tree house. The heavy crossbow was made directly from the treehouse's crafting list. Xu Xin clicked[ Treehouse Transformation ]option on the screen that the new heavy crossbow has appeared on the list.

[Iron automatic heavy crossbow (green): Iron automatic heavy crossbow, which can automatically attack the enemy units, is has more strength and has a longer range. Five rounds can be loaded at the same time. Require fine wood (green)*10, iron block (green)*5, animal tendon (green)*2]

[Heavy Crossbow Iron Arrow (Green): The weight of heavy crossbow and sharp iron crossbow bolt can pierce the body of the beast. Recyclable, requires fine wood (green)*2, iron block (green)*1]

Compared with the previous wooden weapons, iron weapons are obviously stronger, so Xu Xin chose to make iron heavy crossbows without hesitation.

[Please select the location of the heavy crossbow]

A structural diagram of the tree houses appeared on the screen, and the heavy crossbow could be assembled on the wall of the tree canopy.

"Can't it be installed at the bottom? The blind spot on the wall is really too big." Xu Xin said to himself, so he had to choose the first floor. After all, the first floor is already high enough, and he was worried about the accuracy of the arrow no matter how far it was from the ground.

From the sounds of the "click" from downstairs, it should be that the heavy crossbow has been assembled. Xu Xin made five more heavy crossbow iron arrows and went down to the first floor.

There is a small window on the inner wall where the heavy crossbow is located. There is a small round hole under the window, which looks slightly thicker than the heavy crossbow iron arrows. There is a simple rocker beside the round hole.

Xu Xin looked out at the window, and saw a heavy crossbow about two meters long and wide assembled bellow. The main body of the entire giant crossbow was made of wood, and the important part was made of iron. It is look very full of lethality and felt very safe.

Xu Xin looked at the small hole under the window: "This should be where the arrows are assembled, right?"

Xu Xin directed the arrow of the heavy crossbow in his hand into the entrance of the hole. With lot of struggle he increased his strength. When the iron arrow completely sank into the hole, the sound of the crossbow arrow being wound up could be heared.

Xu Xin looked into the hole, which was already empty, and it should be able to continue to be filled.

The automatic heavy crossbow can be loaded with five rounds at a time. Xu Xin pushed all five heavy crossbow arrows in his hand. After the last one was pushed, and the tail of the arrow could be seen from the hole, it meant that it could not be loaded into it anymore.

"How to launch it? With this joystick?" Xu Xin held the joystick.

[Heavy crossbow rocker: control the direction of heavy crossbow, pull it out to launch, press inward for automatic mode. ]

The item identification function is really convention

Xu Xin manipulated the heavy crossbow, pointed at a white poplar tree outside, and pulled it outward.

The heavy iron crossbow shot out quickly, and shot straight towards the place he was aiming. With a loud "thunk" sound, the crossbow sank directly into the poplar trunk, piercing the poplar tree. Then the entire poplar trunk broke and fell to the ground into several pieces of wood.

"Strong! With this lethality, as long as it can be shot, most beasts can't stand it!"

However, there is still a problem with the heavy crossbows. Because they are fixed and cannot be moved, the range is limited to one direction. Other directions and positions of the treehouse are not protected.

The only solution to this problem is to wait for some more heavy crossbows to come out in the future.

He went down and took the arrow and put it back into the heavy crossbow. He didn't set the heavy crossbow to automatic attack mode. If some small beasts came, it would attack automatically. wouldn't it just be a waste?

Back on the third floor, the fine table salt had already settled. Xu Xin dipped his finger in and tasted it, and the taste was no different from the packaged table salt.

"marvelous!"

"Hey!" Coco, who was dozing off at the conner, became energized when he heard the meal, and ran over immediately.

"You little guy." Xu Xin gave Coco an apple and he immediately hugged it and started chewing it.

Xu Xin couldn't wait any longer. He cut of the bear meat into small pieces that had previously been left behind, and placed the rest on the trading platform in the form of five kilograms.

Xu Xin hung the snake bile on the window of the tree houses and took out the snake meat, cut in a few catties, served it with bear meat and lotus root mushroom than sprinkled with the fine salt and started grilled it.

Soon, the sound of sizzling oil combined with the strong smell of meat made Coco, who didn't like meat, stop eating the apple for a moment: "Yin?"

"Do you want to eat it?" Xu Xin asked Coco with a smile.

"Yin!" Coco became interested in the meat for the first time.

Xu Xin distributed the grilled meat to Coco, then took a bite of the meat.

"Emmm, this is so Delicious~" Xu Xin felt like his whole body was becoming converted, the salt completely lifted the taste of the barbecue, this is the real barbecue! He never wanted to live without salt again!

Coco also chewed the barbecued meat with his little mouth, making whining sounds from time to time, looking very satisfied with the taste of the barbecue.

"I have the salt, the meat, and the vegetables. Next time I have to look for staple crops like rice and wheat and other seasonings like pepper."

Xu Xin licked his lips after eating. When others were still worried about survival, he had already begun to pursue the comfortable of the life.
