Chapter 36 The beast tide is coming!
Although Wen Ning practiced martial arts since he was a child, he was not as good as Popeye.
Even if you wear armor, you are still a mortal body.
However, these mutant beasts felt no pain and did not know how to retreat.
As if it was programmed to do so, it wanted to destroy all living things or shelters in front of it with overwhelming force!
Therefore, if Wen Ning wanted to withstand the charge and attack of these mutant beasts, it would be extremely difficult!
The preparation of the canopy and the courtyard wall took quite a while, leaving insufficient time for Wen Ning to arm himself.
Now Wen Ning can only try his luck in the trading system.
See if there are any suitable weapons and armors. It’s okay if there are no good ones. Wen Ning also has a synthesis system, so you can buy them and upgrade them yourself.
Entering the trading channel, Wen Ning selected long-range weapons in the screening area.
Most of the information on the channel was filtered out, leaving only a dozen or so.
The transaction information of a person with a potato chip avatar contains the word "crossbow"
Wen Ning clicked in.
[One-handed crossbow (normal) for ice fragments*10]
[Message: One-handed operation, 10 matching crossbow arrows can be given. 】
Wen Ning clicked on the picture and frowned.
This crossbow arrow looks crudely made, could it be made by hand?
Although being able to make crossbows was an amazing thing, it didn't quite meet Wen Ning's expectations.
Scrolling down, Wen Ning discovered that most of the weapons being sold were very crude and looked like they were unused and of no use.
What kind of bow and arrow is this? A handmade bow and arrow. It looks like it’s made from a random piece of bamboo. It doesn’t even have any attack power.
Are you putting it up here to cheat people?
Just when Wen Ning was feeling a little discouraged, the next transaction information refreshed in the trading market made her eyes light up.
[Cross compound crossbow (excellent) for energy core ice*2]
[Message: The power is abnormal! Produced by Relics, don’t ask me why I’m selling it, I still have one! Add one more energy core to get a crossbow blueprint! 】
【Message: Excellent weapon! I can't afford it! I can only hiss! 】
[Message: Brother, I have sent you a private message. I don’t have the energy core, but I am willing to give out more fragments! 】
[Comment: I have an energy core, but there is only one. How about you give me five fragments and I will help you combine them? I have a workbench! 】
Wen Ning's heart was moved!
The crossbow can be called the king of modern cold weapons.
Being hit in close combat means almost certain death!
Even if you can't kill the enemy, you can instantly make the enemy lose the ability to move.
The key point is that it does not produce noise or sparks, and will not expose your position when used for sneak attacks.
And modern military-grade crossbows are equipped with corresponding scopes.
Infrared aiming allows you to see clearly even at night.
None of these matters, just based on the excellent quality of this weapon, Wen Ning will get it!
Seeing that there were many people bidding, Wen Ning stopped bargaining. If he hesitated, it would be bad if someone else snatched the item away.
Action speaks louder than words, Wen Ning immediately synthesized three energy cores and submitted the transaction.
There was a flash of white light, and two items appeared in the backpack.
Wen Ning's mind moved, and a crossbow weighing about 5 kilograms appeared in his hand.
[Cross compound crossbow (excellent): a very powerful crossbow arrow, can be installed with a core]
"Install the core?"
Wen Ning suddenly realized!
How lucky she was!
She guessed that the owner of the crossbow should have two crossbows as he said.
but!
He certainly doesn't have a workbench!
So he became anxious when he saw that the sophisticated crossbow could not exert its greatest power.
Energy cores are in short supply in the entire channel.
I don’t have any of this stuff on others, but Wen Ning has a box of it!
This allowed Wen Ning to take advantage of the opportunity!
Without further ado, Wen Ning immediately installed an energy core.
Almost instantly, a thin layer of frost surrounded the crossbow in his hand, making it feel extremely cold!
It feels cool in the hand, but it's tolerable.
The crossbow's information also changed accordingly.
[Cross Composite Crossbow (Excellent): A very powerful crossbow with an ice energy core installed]
[Tip: After installing the core, the critical hit probability increases by 30%. The critical hit damage can form an ice zone around the attacking unit, delaying the action by 3 seconds]
[Usage time of ice energy core: 180 days]
“I’ll go!”
Is this a weapon of high quality?
Compared with excellent level weapons, the difference is like a chasm!
Just take the fact that sophisticated weapons can be installed with cores, which makes them far superior to excellent-level weapons!
The spear suddenly loses its appeal, doesn't it?
Wen Ning was a little dumbfounded, but reacted quickly.
I took out the crossbow blueprint from my backpack and started studying.
[Crossbow Arrow: Iron Ingot 1/0, Wood 30/1478]
He needed iron ingots again, but it was obviously too late to find Cheng Dingkun at this time. Wen Ning waved his hand and directly bought all the iron ingots in the trading market.
[Congratulations on obtaining Iron Ingot*20]
One unit of iron ingot can produce 30 crossbow arrows. Wen Ning prepared materials for 600 crossbow arrows and made them all in one go.
Most of the backpack was filled with crossbow arrows.
The sense of security came instantly.
Armor left.
The armor in the trading market is of varying quality, but they are all made of wood or bamboo, and there is no iron at all.
Wen Ning had no choice but to buy four sets of ordinary hardwood armor and synthesize two sets of rattan wood armor by himself.
Find some animal hides in the warehouse.
Wen Ning didn't feel bad about the materials and simply cut the animal skins according to his needs.
Protect the back of your hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, knees, ankles and other key areas.
Animal skin is soft but tough, making it a good protective material.
The only pity is that Wen Ning is not very good at sewing clothes.
Tie it up with stronger animal tendons and put on a waterproof ski suit on the outside.
Wear a helmet and mask.
So fully armed that only a pair of eyes were left outside.
The backpack contained torches, crossbow arrows, and some purified water.
Then he climbed onto the roof of the shelter with his weapon.
The roof of Wen Ning's shelter is also made of stone and has a sloping shape. It was added at the time because people thought the matchbox shape was too ugly.
Now it has become a platform for Wen Ning to fight.
The awning was built high, so even if Wen Ning jumped here he wouldn't hit his head.
Wen Ning found a place to stay.
Her position was right at the top of the entrance hall, which was also the last opening of the wall in Wen Ning's yard.
When the mutant beasts arrived here, they had already been divided into individuals, and Wen Ning could harvest them here.
After the mutant beast dies, it will turn into a ball of light of materials on the ground. The light ball is suspended, and multiple halos can be superimposed without piling up and blocking the way.
As long as Wen Ning doesn't collect these light balls, they will always exist.
Moreover, Wen Ning's position was facing the outer edge of the yard, and he could see the direction from which the mutant beasts were pouring in.
There are some plum blossom-shaped footholds above the iron courtyard wall for Wen Ning to step on.
This way she can move around the entire yard and balance attacks from various locations.
Move flexibly!
In order to ensure that he would not fall, Wen Ning installed ropes on the canopy.
The height he fell to was exactly what he could reach with a full jump.
In case the mutant also climbed the rope, she would cut it.
By the time Wen Ning had arranged everything, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.
The snow outside stopped silently.
Wen Ning was fully armed, his pair of dark eyes staring at the boundless darkness.
My breathing slowed down unconsciously.
The whole person seemed to merge into the quiet night and turned into the most patient hunter.
[System Announcement: 10 minutes left until the beast tide arrives! 】
......
[System Announcement: 5 minutes left until the beast tide arrives! 】
......
[System Announcement: 59 seconds left to the beast tide’s arrival! 】
Seven days of mild season and three days of disaster season!
The novice period is over, and the beast tide is coming! This is the climax of the first round of trial missions!
Wen Ning's breathing was barely audible, and nothing could be seen in the dark night.
At a certain moment, Wen Ning's hair stood on end and his expression turned stern.
Here we come!
