Chapter 585 Expansion 2



Half a month later, on the training ground of the City Lord's Mansion in Baigu City, hundreds of targets were neatly placed from 800 steps to 3,000 steps.

Lord Yun of Baigu City, surrounded by a group of followers, sat under a reed shed, looking at Chu Tian and others with interest.

Half a month ago, several strong men who ordered strong bows from Chu Tian looked at Chu Tian eagerly, each of them looking impatient. Chu Tian smiled and stretched out his hands to several apprentices behind him, and took a long leather bag made of animal skin from them.

"My fellow heroes, you are famous hunters within a thousand miles of Baigu City. It's amazing that you dare to enter Dacang Mountain to hunt wild beasts." Chu Tian weighed the long leather bag in his hand and said with a smile: "However, heroes must have good weapons. The strong bow forged by me, Hu Dali, is a good weapon!"

Pointing at the targets on the training ground, Chu Tian said in a deep voice: "Today I borrowed the territory of the City Lord's Mansion. One, to let a few heroes test the goods; two, to make me, Hu Dali, famous and let everyone see how good my craftsmanship is."

Opening the leather bag, Chu Tian slowly pulled out a seven-foot-long longbow with dragon scale patterns all over its arm. It was pitch black and looked like an ordinary longbow at first glance. Chu Tian laughed and took three armor-piercing long arrows forged with a special alloy from the apprentice behind him. The arrows had spiral shapes and were forged into a special alloy.

Those targets were covered with three layers of animal skins, and the skins were even inlaid with three-centimeter-thick iron sheets.

These animal skins were all fresh furs plucked from the beasts in Da Cang Mountain. Three layers of animal skins plus a layer of iron sheets gave it incredible defensive power. In the vast mountains of Da Cang Mountain, it was rare to encounter beasts with such strong defenses.

Chu Tian took a deep breath. He looked at the hunters with gleaming eyes and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, watch carefully. I, Hu Dali, put a lot of strength into this dragon tendon bow. It is not just 600,000 catties, but 800,000 catties! Not only that, in the future, as long as we replace the bowstring with a better one, the power of this bow can reach 2 million catties!"

Under the reed shed, Lord Yun of Baigu City suddenly stood up.

A bow weighing two million jin!

Not only City Lord Yun, but also several generals of the city guards behind him had a changing expression - this kind of strong bow could be called a magic weapon, and it was extremely useful. It could play a decisive strategic role in many places and at many times!

If Hu Dali can really forge a bow that weighs two million jin, then his value will be more than just that of a skilled blacksmith.

With a humming sound, Chu Tian pulled the bow and put on an armor-piercing arrow.

The next moment, Chu Tian released his finger, and with a loud "pop" sound, the armor-piercing iron arrow tore a thin white tunnel in the air that was clearly visible to the naked eye, penetrated dozens of layers of air barriers in succession, and hit a target eight hundred steps away with incredible accuracy.

The arrow was spinning rapidly, and everyone could clearly see three extremely thin strands of green air gushing out from the arrow, causing it to spin at a terrifying speed.

The iron sheet on the target was pierced by one strike, and a fist-sized hole was drilled through the three layers of animal hide.

The arrow pierced through the one-foot-thick ironwood target. The arrow spun rapidly, making a sharp, terrifying, and soul-stirring scream. It followed an almost straight trajectory and hit another target four hundred steps away.

Iron pieces flew everywhere, and a fist-sized hole was torn in the animal skin. The one-foot-thick iron and wooden target was pierced by the arrow again. The arrow followed a straight line and pierced another target four hundred steps away, then flew forward more than three thousand steps before it made a "bang" and pierced deeply into a huge rock at the edge of the parade ground, and forcibly dug a fist-sized and several feet deep hole on the huge rock that was several feet thick.

"Good!" Lord Yun of Baigu City clapped his hands and cheered. Several hunters who had customized bows and arrows were already grinning from ear to ear!

With such power and might, which beast in Da Cang Mountain could withstand this arrow? They seemed to have seen the wonderful scene of precious and valuable beasts falling down one after another under their arrows.

Chu Tian smiled and shot out another two arrows.

There were continuous "pa pa" sounds, from 1,500 steps to 3,000 steps, more than a dozen targets lined up in a straight line were broken by Chu Tian's arrows.

The arrows whistled through the air. No matter how far away the target was, the arrows eventually sunk deeply into the huge rock at the edge of the parade ground, and carved three deep holes in it.

"The bowstring is no good! The python tendons brought by the heroes are still a little weak!" Chu Tian casually handed the strong bow in his hand to a hunter who came over, and said calmly: "If we can get a few dragon tendons, the bow arm of this bow can also withstand it. What is a strong bow of two million jin?"

Chu Tian raised his head proudly and took several specially made armor-piercing long arrows from the hands of the apprentices behind him: "Everyone, look carefully, these arrows are our special goodies! The three green runes on them were found on the wall of a cave in the deep mountains when I followed my master on his travels. They are good things with unique uses!"

A few hunters wanted to talk, but City Lord Yun, who was as tall as a black bear, came over and waved his hand to drive them away. "Quack, take your bows and arrows, pay Master Dali, and get out of here as soon as you can. Why are you still talking so much?"

Grabbing the arrow with three tiny green runes on the arrowhead in Chu Tian's hand, City Lord Yun came in front of Chu Tian and asked nervously: "Master Dali, is this arrow difficult to forge? Or, this bow..."

Chu Tian drooped his eyelids and said slowly: "Give me the materials and enough wages, what can't I make? But, how much can I make by myself? So, I still..."

Chu Tian looked at the apprentices following behind him and said slowly: "We, Hu Dali, never keep anything to ourselves when teaching our apprentices. We will teach our apprentices as much as they can learn. So, City Lord, if you want a large number of such good weapons, hehe!"

City Lord Yun slapped Chu Tian on the shoulder and said in a careless manner, "Okay, it's settled! Master Dali's blacksmith shop is too small. Well, my City Lord's Mansion is close to the South Street. There is a very spacious garden. I'll give it to you, Master Dali!"

Patting his chest, City Lord Yun laughed loudly and said, "I'll give you the people and money. I'll build a big factory for you in the shortest possible time and at the fastest speed. As for the apprentices, that's easy, ha!"

Chu Tian was stunned, blinked once, and said nothing.

Shrinking in Chu Tian's sleeves, not daring to leave the protection of the green silk ribbon, Master Shu narrowed his eyes: "What does this guy want to do? Rebellion? He doesn't have the courage or the strength to rebel against the Heavenly Court... Oh, is the dynasty among mortals going to make trouble? Interesting!"

No matter what City Lord Yun’s purpose was, after he gave the order, the scale of Chu Tian’s blacksmith shop expanded nearly a hundred times in half a month!

Thousands of apprentices aged between seven or eight and fifteen or sixteen gathered in Chu Tian's blacksmith workshop, hammering iron ingots with the sound of clanging all day long. It was a bustling scene.
