Chapter 30: Enemies Watching
Before sunrise, there were a few more black clouds in the sky, and it looked like it was going to rain.
Zhang Yang stood in the small castle with a gloomy face. This was the only defensive building in the village. He had originally planned to demolish it after a while because he wanted to build a bigger castle.
But reality is always so cruel. Just as he eliminated the great enemy, the deer demon, a new enemy appeared again.
Because just now, the village kid reported to him that there were enemies spying on his village.
To be precise, there were three new ghost recruits who were hiding more than ten meters underground. They were constantly wandering around the village and observing. Under normal circumstances, Zhang Yang would never notice them, not even with the second-level vision. But he also recruited a little ghost from the village yesterday.
This guy is very cowardly. He should have left the village last night to explore the surrounding area. However, when Zhang Yang was unable to supervise him, he only searched a small area around the Wood Demon Tower.
Then early this morning, it found traces of activities of three other village ghosts under the village.
When Zhang Yang first received the message, he was almost pissed off by it. Only after he calmed down did he continue to ask.
"What did those three village brats spy on us?"
"Village leader, those three little devils should know how many people we are and how many warriors we have. The village has no walls. However, they did not find me or the Wood Demon Tower because they are as weak as I am and dare not approach within fifty feet of the warriors."
"What does warrior mean? Are there any criteria for judging?" Zhang Yang asked. This village kid has said this more than once.
"Reporting to the village chief, this is the evaluation method of our Abyss Ghost Clan, that is, the human race. The skin is like rock, the bones are like fine iron, the tendons are like big bows, the blood is boiling, the five internal organs are full of energy, and the strength is 300. Those who have a strength of 300 are warriors. The next level is samurai. The standard is skin like iron wall, bones like fine steel, five internal organs like prisons, blood and energy like rivers, and a strength of 900. That is a samurai."
"According to this standard, our village has a total of four warriors, one quasi-samurai, and 23 sharp soldiers. As for you, sir, those little devils can't find out."
After listening to the little ghost's explanation, Zhang Yang nodded, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, because according to the little ghost, they, the abyss ghost clan and the human race are most likely the indigenous people of this world.
As for what "a strength of three hundred" means, Wu Yuan also mentioned it just now. It should refer to the strength of the captain level, but the specific value is unclear.
"From now on, you don't have to go out of the village to investigate, but you have to keep an eye on the enemy's little ghosts. No matter what, you can't let them get to the Wood Demon Tower."
After giving the little ghost new orders, Zhang Yang began to make quick arrangements. He first ordered Wu Yuan to lead the team personally, led by Song Dachui and four others, to patrol the edge of the village. If they found anything wrong, they would retreat quickly.
Then he ordered Qin Yidao and ten other elite archers to enter the small fort and be enhanced by the spirit of the giant elk. As for the other elite soldiers, they were to seize the time to continue to reinforce the defense of the small fort.
The reason for this is that the enemy's strength is unknown, so the defense is the best option, so ten captain-level archers are very important.
Next, Zhang Yang calmed himself down and analyzed the cause and effect of the incident.
First of all, the owner of those three little ghosts must be the one bound by the village building order, and therefore must be his competitor and enemy.
Secondly, the fact that they were able to extend their tentacles over to the Deer Demon on the very day that the Deer Demon's forces were destroyed shows that the other party must have known about the existence of the Deer Demon's forces long ago, and it may be that the strength of both sides is equal, so they dare not act rashly.
Finally, now that the deer demon's forces have been destroyed and the strength of his village has been explored, the enemy is likely to take the opportunity to launch a rapid attack and catch him off guard.
Or even if the enemy will not be so eager to attack, the arrival of this war is definitely unavoidable. In other words, this mysterious enemy will definitely attack. The only difference is whether it will be a lightning sneak attack with elite troops, or a large group of troops crushing forward?
"It's too late to make the Spear of Imprisonment now. If the enemy army has really set out, fortunately I still have a trump card."
Zhang Yang took a deep breath and looked at the results of Wu Yuan and others' busy work yesterday.
A total of 300 cut arrow shafts, 100 polished wolf teeth, and trimmed red eagle feathers, all the materials have been prepared, the only thing missing is to connect these three materials to form a whole.
He didn't know what kind of glue was used to make feather arrows on Earth, but it was obvious that Wu Yuan, Qin Yidao and others had no way to connect these materials together and form combat effectiveness.
Picking up a cut arrow shaft, Zhang Yang nodded secretly. Wu Yuan's cutting skills were impeccable, at least at the master level. This arrow shaft was 1.3 meters long and 3 centimeters in diameter. It was heavy and could be used as a short spear in the hands of an ordinary soldier. However, this was the arrow shaft used by a captain-level archer. It was clear how lethal it would be once it was successfully made!
Without rushing to use magic power, Zhang Yang first used the soul force field to warm the soul of each arrow shaft. According to his previous experience, this could also greatly improve the material of the arrow shaft, making it easier to use magic power to connect them.
After warming up 30 arrow shafts in one breath, Zhang Yang picked up another arrowhead made from wolf teeth.
The green wolf monster is very large, especially when you see it for the first time, you will often feel it is even bigger and more terrifying because of panic. For example, Zhang Yang once thought that the green wolf's fangs were at least as long as his arm, but in fact, the longest fang he saw at this moment was only about 30 centimeters, and after polishing, the wolf-fang arrowhead made of it was only 10 centimeters long.
But even so, the wolf tooth arrowhead is extremely sharp and has strong armor-piercing ability.
Originally, if it is an ordinary wolf tooth, the installation method is to insert it directly into the arrow shaft, or if it is an iron arrowhead, it can also be inserted into the arrow shaft.
But the teeth of this wolf monster are more than five centimeters in diameter, and it takes a lot of effort just to polish the outer shape. Yesterday, Qin Yidao and his team spent half a day and a whole night grinding on a big rock to polish out 100 wolf fangs. They were all exhausted. You have to know that their physical fitness is equivalent to that of five or six adults on Earth, so don't expect more fine grinding.
"Well, the arrow shaft can be nurtured with souls, but the arrowhead must be slotted with mana. With my 0.01 unit of mana, I estimate that I can only make ten wolf-tooth arrows."
Zhang Yang thought quickly, and his soul force field quickly opened up. A ray of magic power attached to the arrow shaft and aimed at one end of the wolf fang arrow cluster. With a light press, the hard wolf fang became as soft as tofu.
By the time he removed the soul force field and took back his magic power, the wolf-tooth arrowhead and the arrow shaft had already merged perfectly together.
At this time, Zhang Yang took out another red eagle feather. Even after being trimmed, this thing was as big as a person's two palms. There was a faint red light flowing on it. This was the inherent demonic power. It was the best material for making arrow feathers. To be honest, how powerful this wolf tooth arrow was, and whether it could be shot fast and accurate enough, all depended on this arrow feather.
So Zhang Yang did not dare to be careless. He covered the arrow with the soul force field, held the arrow shaft in one hand and the red eagle feather in the other hand, and released a little magic power, and the feather cut into the arrow shaft.
Finally, after a careful inspection with the soul thread, there was nothing wrong, and the wolf tooth arrow was considered completed.
“Let’s do as much as we can.”
Zhang Yang looked up at the sky, then looked at the ten elite archers in the small fort who were about to complete their upgrades. Each of them had to be allocated five wolf-tooth arrows.
