Beasts Are Boundless

Ye Qiong let out a long breath, raised the torch a little higher, and then led Rong Ling and the others to go inside.

As the team continued to move forward, twenty meters later, a poor warrior placed the long wooden barrel in his arms at the corner of the wall, and then took out a fire stick and blew it on fire.

The faint light of the lights began to sway in the cave, projecting the reflections of everyone on the wall on the other side.

The dark reflection also swayed gently with the light, adding a strange atmosphere.

Although the surrounding temperature is slowly increasing, the feeling of everyone's skin is getting colder and colder, with an indescribable strange coolness.

Continue to walk forward, still every 20 meters, put a wooden barrel grease lamp.

In this world where civilization has not yet germinated, Ye Qiong can't understand what he is nervous about. Ye Qiong will not be afraid of ghosts. If these factors are excluded, then Ye Qiong is more worried about the inside of the cave. There will be lord-level monsters.

After all, on Xue Xing, after the strength reaches the lord level, they will spend the winter in their own way. They can go out to hunt for food, hoard food in summer, or choose a cave to hibernate directly.

Probably, this kind of cave is the easiest place for powerful monsters to appear, so Ye Qiong had to be careful, and the speed of progress was not very fast.

After the two-hundred-meter distance, the Qiongqi warrior behind him also lit the long wooden barrels in his hands and placed them on both sides of the cave.

Now the cross-section of the entire cave has been widened to fifteen meters.

After the last wooden barrel grease lamp was put down, Ye Qiong held up the torch, looking at the unfathomable cave that was still far away, and stood there.

The torch in his hand could still hold up for a while, but looking at the situation ahead, he would definitely not be able to reach the end for a while, and it was of no real significance, so Ye Qiong turned around directly.

"Let's go, go back first!"

...

If Ye Qiong had an automatic rifle in his hand, or he could just come with a Laifu, Ye Qiong would go straight into it and see how deep the cave was and what kind of monsters and monsters were hidden in it.

But now the only long-range weapon Ye Qiong can use is the three-denier longbow on his back. Although compared with ordinary bows and arrows, the lethality has been doubled, and compared with ordinary pistols, its power is It's not weak at all.

But bows and arrows are bows and arrows after all, and it takes time to draw and shoot arrows. If there is an emergency, it is simply too late to respond.

After leaving the cave, Ye Qiong now has a new plan, which is to make crossbow bolts.

In the wild, the meaning of crossbow arrows is not very big. On the contrary, it is not as convenient as bows and arrows, and it is relatively cumbersome, so Ye Qiong is only interested in large giant crossbows.

After all, that kind of small crossbow arrow is difficult to build and not portable, and its lethality is not much stronger than that of a once-powerful archer.

In addition, the archers in the tribe are used to using bows and arrows. Every soldier shoots where they want. The accuracy is very high. If you use a crossbow, you will not be able to achieve that effect. However, the crossbow arrow naturally has the advantage of the crossbow arrow, that is, close combat, without much aiming, it can kill the enemy in the fastest time.

Ye Qiong can't make a gun for a while, so he took the next step and made the crossbow first, so that if any unexpected situation occurs in the cave, it can form a huge scale in the first time. lethality.

Compared with bows and arrows, crossbows have a much greater lethality at close range.

Since Ye Qiong wanted to build a crossbow, the first thing Ye Qiong thought of was the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, a crossbow that could fire continuously.

Although there are records, but in Ye Qiong's memory, the core technology has been lost, Ye Qiong wants to make a repeating crossbow, he can only explore by himself.

However, Ye Qiong has a profound theoretical foundation of weapons and firearms. With his level in this area, if he was pulled into the National Defense University of the previous life, he was a professor-level existence.

The matter on the coal mine was handed over to Ye Tianlong, and Ye Qiong arranged the cave detection to the Rongling and Qiongqi teams. After all, they are the highest combat power of the tribe. Now we are going to detect the cave, relatively speaking, to deal with emergencies. , to be much stronger, Ye Qiong told Guo Rongling that if he encounters an unknown situation, he should withdraw immediately and do not rush to explore.

After returning to the tribe, Ye Qiong locked himself up. The second uncle Ye Tianling took care of everything on the tribe's side. For some trivial matters that he couldn't solve by himself, he would call Yang Jianxin and Tang Ying from the caravan to discuss it.

Now the backbone of the tribe has actually been highlighted, and the next batch of pillars are also slowly growing under Tang Ying's training.

Time passed by minute by minute, days and nights passed by...

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and now there are four and a half months left before the end of winter and the beginning of spring.

These four and a half months were already equivalent to the entire winter on Earth where Ye Qiong lived in his last life, and even longer.

Xue Xing's winter came to an end, and some human tribes began to gradually fall into madness. After the food in the tribe was exhausted, they slowly turned into madmen.

In the past month, the tribe has been developing quietly and rapidly. The coal mine base has also been formed, which can accommodate hundreds of people to rest at the same time. At the edge of the coal mine, the soldiers also built a lot of smaller houses. Store the collected coal.

Inside the base, it was very warm, with a coal bonfire burning in the center, guarding such a large coal mine, the soldiers did not treat themselves badly, and the charcoal fire in the center burned all day.

Because of the lighting fixtures at night, the working hours of the warriors who built the city wall have also been strengthened. The city wall on the north side has risen to a height of five meters, and ordinary low-level monsters can no longer jump in.

After the height reaches seven meters, finishing work can be carried out, and then the other three sides of the city wall can be built.

The weather today is still good. Since the last level 3 snowstorm, the weather around the tribe has been good, but there were a few windless snowfalls in the middle, and it fell flutteringly without forming any climate.

This month, Ye Qiong has been soaking in the laboratory except for food, drink and lasa. During the day, he studies crossbows and other things, and he meditates and cultivates at night. He always feels some changes in his body, but where is it, Ye Qiong Qiong can't tell, but in general Ye Qiong can be sure that his strength has increased a little.

On the stone table, there is a crossbow, which is 80 centimeters long and 20 centimeters fast. It looks a lot smaller than the giant crossbow, but it still looks a bit bulky.

Ye Qiong was going to figure out the core of the repeating crossbow first, and then concentrate on the volume.

Looking at the giant crossbow on the stone table, Ye Qiong picked it up, then pushed open the wooden door and walked out...
