It seems that the actual usage of these beast crystals and Ye Qiong's estimated usage are still very different.
The long sword in his hand suddenly felt a little heavier.
The current aggravation is not physical, but psychological, and can also be called weight.
Looking at the black jars on the shelf, there were only five black jars left. They were all used up and they couldn't make two long swords.
As for the bone crystals extracted from king-level monsters, you can imagine how precious they are.
If Ye Qiong wanted to build a team like this with hundreds of people, he really didn't know that the year of the monkey was gone, waiting for the beast tide to take the initiative to attack. In many cases, there was no one throughout the whole winter.
Without the beast tide, there would be no king-level monsters, so Ye Qiong had to think carefully about who to assign this long sword to now.
As for the remaining bone crystals, Ye Qiong decided to keep them to build the bow body. After all, only by increasing his own strength could he better protect the tribe.
When winter comes, with enough military support, Ye Qiong can have the confidence to go further to find resources.
In the summer, when facing some unfriendly tribes, there is no need to be as polite as before. If you don't accept it, just fight. Ye Qiong still feels that his tribe is very short of people.
There is a serious shortage of people. If there is a tribe willing to submit to the Ye Qiong tribe at this time, they will definitely accept all comers. The more the merrier.
Putting the long sword on the table, Ye Qiong quickly walked to the shelf, took down his long bow, and placed it on the stone table. Then he looked at Kuang Baichi and said: "The remaining bone crystal powder, first Leave it to me and help me build a bow body."
Kuang Baichi looked at the long bow that Ye Qiong took down, and his face suddenly showed a proud look. This long bow was made by Kuang Baichi himself.
The bow body of a four-denier longbow needs to withstand a very large elastic force, so the requirements for materials are still very high.
An ordinary archer's longbow with half a denier strength can be made of ordinary refined iron. It is relatively slender, and overall it is also very light and very portable.
There are now fifty-seven single-power longbows in the tribe. Warriors who can draw these fifty-seven or eight longbows can enter the ranks of single-power archers. Normally, they can be assigned to the king. Grade jerky.
The materials used for the once-strength bow are the same as those of the half-denil bow, but the overall size is much larger than that of the half-denil bow. The length of the half-denil bow is one meter, and the length of the once-strength bow is one meter. Second, the middle position should be about one finger thicker.
Although it is a lot bigger and heavier, a warrior who can draw a powerful bow has amazing strength. If anyone is pulled out into a small tribe, they will have to provide for it, so this increase The weight, for them, can be easily borne.
At present, the archers in the tribe are divided into two levels. Ye Qiong knows very well that among the Yili archers, there are many warriors whose strength has completely surpassed Yili. After that, the material requirements for the bow body were relatively high...
The three-denier long bow Ye Qiong put on the table now took Kuang Baichi more than four months to get it out, and he put his whole heart into it. He didn't tell Ye Qiong about the various materials he consumed. , otherwise, it will definitely scare him.
After all, Ye Tianlong personally told Kuang Baichi that as long as it was something Ye Qiong needed, even if it cost all the resources of the tribe, it would be obtained for him. Kuang Baichi knew very well in his heart that everything was worth it.
But for this kind of thing, all we need to do is give Ye Qiong a result, which is to take out the bow body and put it in front of Ye Qiong. There is no need to mention other things, it is a waste of time!
Once the bow body exceeds the force, special processing of materials is required. If you have to use the same material, the bow will become very large and very unportable.
In the summer, warriors are basically in a state of hunting except for eating and sleeping, so the frequency of fighting is very high. If you carry that kind of bulky longbow, it will be a bit outweighed by the gain.
It will greatly reduce your mobility and agility. If you are approached by a monster, the bow can be used as a weapon once it is strong. If it is heavier, you can only throw it away.
After an archer is equipped with a longbow, he cannot be equipped with a heavy weapon, and can only be equipped with a dagger or short knife.
These two short and lean weapons are okay against humans and madmen, but they are still very difficult to deal with such huge monsters.
Even if it is an effective attack, it will not cause much damage after breaking through the defense of the monster.
Unlike spears and swords, ordinary monsters will be seriously injured and disabled with one blow.
Therefore, warriors can only choose between long bows and heavy weapons. Even Ye Qiong can only carry a long bow on his back and a dagger on his waist, which is the current weapon.
You can't have your cake and eat it too, you always have to give up other things in order to stand out. This is also something that must be done when classifying arms.
The role of longbow archers in the cold weapon era was very important.
This is one of the reasons why Ye Qiong has focused on longbows while practicing since he was ten years old. On Snow Star, the status of bows and arrows is unshakable.
From the previous Ye Qiong tribe defeated the two king koala beasts without any casualties, we can understand how powerful the archers are.
If it is a one-on-one battle between humans, bows and arrows are actually useless. After all, it is easy to avoid if the main concentration is concentrated. It is much more difficult for archers to hit the target than imagined.
But the battlefield is a different story, because there is no way to avoid it...
Kuang Baichi touched the Sidanli longbow on the stone table with an inexplicable emotion.
"Aba Aba..."
If translated into something that Ye Qiong can understand, it probably means it's all on me.
The old man has been playing iron all his life, and he has a very special energy in him. Every time he forges a good weapon, he can get a kind of spiritual sublimation. To explain it scientifically, it means excessive secretion of phenolphthalein.
Ye Qiong nodded, put the long bow on his back again, and then looked at the long sword on the table, thinking about who to use this long sword for. What he is now pursuing is a long-range violent long bow. Weapon, so this long sword is not suitable for Ye Qiong.
And within the tribe, besides Ye Qiong, who else has the strength to control this sword is also a question.
Although Ye Qiong picked up the long sword quite easily just now, it was because of Ye Qiong's arm strength that there was not much difference between this long sword and an ordinary long sword.
But for the average warrior, this long sword has increased its weight by a third.
This is a very heavy weight, because if the long sword in the hand of a normal warrior is increased by one-tenth, let alone one-third, it will be very uncomfortable to use.
The consequence is to reduce one's combat effectiveness.
