My goodness, this is too much!
No wonder it's so powerful.
Even without blue-grade saltpeter, this is ten times the amount of an ordinary explosive crossbow!
Plus blue saltpeter...
The power must be dozens of times greater!
The explosives contained in a heavy crossbow are equivalent to a large bomb!
No wonder a big hole was blown out directly on the ground.
If this pierces the body of the giant anaconda in the center of the lake...
Who knows, it might really cause serious internal injuries to it!
If it hits a weak spot directly...
Of course, under normal circumstances, if it is not a real crisis, it is better for them not to take action against the giant anaconda that is hundreds of meters long.
After all, its weaknesses may not be the same as those of ordinary anacondas.
Moreover, Ma Hongwei and Lou Feier have the ability to recover from their injuries, so the giant anaconda may not be without it.
The possibility of killing it with one blow is too low, and the possibility of angering it and causing it to go berserk is too high.
When facing a giant anaconda, the heavy crossbow can only be used as a defensive measure.
However, if he encounters other giant beasts that come to attack the tree house, such as the blood-veined trolls he had seen in the hilly resource area before, the role of this heavy crossbow will be perfectly demonstrated!
The Blood-Marked Troll's size should be much lower than that of the evolved Giant Anaconda.
In short, Xu Xin will not be afraid of its attack.
"Great!" Xu Xin patted Ma Hongwei on the shoulder. "In a couple of days, when we have enough materials, we'll equip everyone with your heavy crossbows, and then each of us will make a dozen or so as backup."
"Okay, Brother Xin, that's all we have." Ma Hongwei was very happy to have his research results recognized, but then he said a little embarrassedly, "Indeed, the disadvantage of these weapons is that they use too much material."
He had been thinking about increasing the power and destroying the giant anaconda that had left a shadow on him, without considering the cost of materials.
"The great power can cover up all other shortcomings. We will have the materials." Xu Xin looked at the huge crater blown out outside and smiled.
The cost is indeed a big problem, and only they, the explorers, can afford to make this heavy crossbow.
Even they can only slow down for the time being.
Now, the high-level heavy crossbows that Ma Hongwei can make are all made of metal, and the crossbows also require metal and blue-level saltpeter.
And the current explorers happen to be in great need of iron blocks.
All members were equipped with purple-grade steel armor, and each person who defected was equipped with a blue-grade iron axe. These things consumed too many blue-grade and above iron blocks.
There are not enough materials above blue level.
Although it is possible to make some green-level metal heavy crossbows, the improvement is limited. It is better to wait until there is enough metal and do it directly in one step.
Anyway, the current tree house crossbow combined with the explosive crossbow is enough.
At this time, Xu Xin's watch rang twice.
It was a message from Lou Feier and Zeng Tao.
Lou Feier: "Did you make that explosion just now?"
Zeng Tao: "What's going on?! Is there danger?!"
Qin Fu didn't send any message.
His tree house was not far from Ma Hongwei's tree house, and his ability happened to be able to sense this side.
Xu Xin replied to Lou Feier: "Don't worry, I did it."
He replied to Zeng Tao: "I'm trying out the new heavy crossbow. You'll have one in the future."
Zeng Tao replied immediately: "Trial out the new heavy crossbow? It doesn't matter, as long as they're not enemies. By the way, where's my weapon? Isn't it time to make one for me?"
She had been thinking about her purple-grade steel giant blade. If she wasn't so weak now, she would have come out and pestered Xu Xin directly.
Xu Xin said goodbye to Ma Hongwei and came down from the tree house while replying to Zeng Taodao.
"The materials are not enough at the moment. It may take a few days."
From now on, the heavy crossbow should be the higher priority choice, and Zeng Tao's giant blade should be moved back a little.
"You...you...you promised me! You won't go back on your word!" Zeng Tao's words revealed deep worry.
Now she is completely controlled. If the other party doesn't let her do it...
There was nothing she could do.
Woohoo, this is too difficult...
"This is it." Xu Xin slashed open his watch on the spot and traded the purple-grade steel broadsword from his backpack. "Recently, the iron and steel blocks are needed to equip everyone with heavy crossbows. For the next two days, you can use this sword first."
The other party accepted the deal almost immediately, fearing that Xu Xin would withdraw it.
"Well, okay, this knife is not bad. I'll use this one first!" Zeng Tao was easy to satisfy. He didn't say anything after that. He must have gone to admire the purple-grade steel sword.
Xu Xin did not return to his own tree house, but walked to the tree house that Qin Fu had just planted.
Most of the soil around the tree house has been replaced by blue grade, and there are thriving seedlings on it.
This just happened, and the weak period hasn't even passed yet, but I can't wait to plant.
"You, Boss, are you here?" Qin Fu had known Xu Xin was heading this way, but he only leaned over to greet him when he came over. "What was that just now? The explosion was quite powerful."
As he spoke, he directly controlled the roots and pulled Xu Xin into the tree house.
He had also tidied up the tree house to make it almost as good as it was originally.
Xu Xin explained briefly and took out two bottles of medicine from his backpack.
Strength potion.
"This is...?" Qin Fu took it and raised his eyebrows when he saw the introduction. "Strength potion? Is this your ability?"
He actually prepared some spiritual medicine for them.
However, the improvement of the mental potion on Qin Fu was relatively small, so Xu Xin planned to give the mental potion to Zeng Tao and Lou Feier first to make up for their shortcomings.
As for Qin Fu, let's improve his strength first.
Drawing a bow also requires strength.
He himself also needs fighting power.
When there are enough materials in the future, I will give him a lot of mental strength to improve his own abilities.
After a brief explanation, Qin Fu understood and drank the whole bottle immediately.
"How?" Xu Xin asked.
Qin Fu clenched his fist, took out his bow and an arrow, and shot an arrow into the distance. He was a little surprised: "My strength has increased a lot. I can shoot farther."
As he spoke, he glanced at the second bottle of potion on the table and picked it up.
Seeing that Xu Xin had no intention of stopping him, he drank it again in one gulp.
