Chapter 8: Doubts (3)

"There is no need to be so nervous." Suo Zhongwu smiled bitterly, thinking that Gerard Chevalier was making a fuss:

"I really want to pick it up, then pick it up, one is enough. Mr. Zhaizhu, are you also curious about the monster's arrows, and you are anxious to hear me explain?"

"Uh... this is indeed one of the purposes." Gerrard shifted his gaze to the side and coughed awkwardly:

"Ahem. Please understand your corporal. We are all mediocre mortals. We can only guess randomly based on our past experience. We will be dumbfounded when we encounter things we haven't seen before. Let's put it this way, the arrows of the monsters are basic. We knew it from the beginning. The tail feathers are also easy to guess. It is probably the wing membrane of a bug. It has been treated with some kind of process, so it can remain flexible for a long time and will not rot after a single poke. But the arrow shaft We’ve never understood the material of the worm. Although we have cut a few pieces before, the cross section is neither like wood nor reed pipe. No one can make it clear.”

"It's no wonder you are confused." Suo Zhongwu took the feather arrow from Paul, and broke it into a semicircle without saying a word.The dark arrow shaft immediately burst out with crystal reflection, and suddenly, there was a feeling of a shampoo advertisement:

"In the beginning, I didn't figure it out. But this toughness, this strength, and this surface touch all point to the same answer: Gentlemen, the material used by the monster to make the arrow shaft is actually a giant set of bristles. In layman's terms, it is a very thick and long beard. If you don’t like this name, it’s okay to change to animal bristles."

Gerard Chevalier opened his mouth in shock, his chin almost hit the back of his feet, and the other militiamen looked at each other as if they had seen trees rise from the ground and Shi Shiran flew into the sky."Bristles. Beast's mane." The great Paul repeated these words, his right hand stretched out his belt for some time, and he rubbed the mace uncomfortably:

"The one above. Your Excellency, if the arrow shaft is made of mane, then this beast, how big is this beast? If the monster can ride on the beast to fight, how should we deal with it? This is really-- The one above!"

"Ahem. Actually, this kind of mane is not taken from domestic animals." Suo Zhongwu felt extremely embarrassed and had to use Gerald's method to cover it up.The superstition of the militias really made him speechless, but he just said panic in front of everyone, this is the main reason for the inner anxiety.

The truth about the material of the arrow shaft was not figured out by Suo Zhongwu.He had already taken a section of the arrow shaft, and used the image search engine built into the database to analyze the photos.The performance just now is just to enhance my sense of mystery, because the answer found by the computer is really unacceptable. If you don’t play this virtual set, the locals may not be able to agree with it convincingly:

"Don't worry about the giant beast. At least not at this stage. According to my experience, the material used for the arrow shaft is closer to the kind of bristles that the earthworm digs up the soil, but the diameter is dozens of times thicker. If the monster intends to ride Charging with fleshy bugs, I really want to see that kind of scene."

"Giant earthworm?" Gerard Chevalier moved the toe of his boot, and the shiny leather surface was immediately stained with dark dirt.He seemed to have a toothache, his cheeks twitched, and his eyes became erratic:

"Please forgive me for my gaffe, honorable corporal. I really don't know what to say. Giant earthworm! This is too much-too unexpected."

"Underground monsters appeared in groups on the ground. This incident itself was unexpected." Suo Zhongwu pointed out this immediately, and put down a stone in his heart by the way:

"I think they may be hired by evil forces to looting on the ground; or they may be their original habitats with unexpected changes, such as earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. Regardless of the reason, we are forced to Contact with them, and then understand their weak nature."

"In front of your Excellency, these monsters are indeed weak." The village owner shook his head with a wry smile:

"But for us...I have no intention to demean myself, but they successfully crushed the Baron Bayonne, and it only took an hour. I have to admit that the fighting power of this group of monsters has surpassed To the Kotweimel militia."

"The word crush is not appropriate. They only defeated the baron's family soldiers at the end of the crossbow when they were several times stronger than the enemy, and they have paid heavy casualties for this." Suo Zhongwu's face is not red and heartbeat, and he stands up first. Look for an argument. Although what you say cannot be considered false, you only talk about the side that benefits you:

"Don't worry about denying it, Mr. Zhaizhu. You and I have witnessed the last battle of the mercenaries. The total number of fallen monster infantry far exceeds the mercenaries killed in battle. There is no objection to this, right?"

"That's the case. But those Tommy boys have nowhere to go, and no matter who is in that situation, they will grit their teeth to the end. IMHO, this is not the norm."

"It's really not the norm." Suo Zhongwu did not understand "Excuse me."This local slang is not like an ancient proverb, but rather like an acronym for online chat.However, a mere phrase does not affect communication, and it does not constitute any obstacle to the blockbuster he throws next:

"There were many elements in that battle that were extraordinary. The high morale of the mercenaries is indeed a reason that cannot be ignored, but the weapons used by the monsters also play an important role. Tell me, Gerald, if everyone has a shield boy Iron spears, monster archers are also generally equipped with iron arrowheads, can the baron’s men last so long?"

"Obviously...can't." Gerrard's voice became very hesitant.He exchanged glances with Paul the Great and the others for a short time. After reaching an agreement, he turned his head back and humbled his gaze:

"If the monster uses steel weapons, Tommy's armor will last half the time at most. Bones, rocks, and claws will never compare to metal."

"Then, I won't waste any more words." Suo Zhongwu squeezed out a smile, pulled out a strangely shaped battle axe from the weapon pile, and handed it to Gerald:

"This is the battlefield selection front, that is, the special weapon for the big monster. The handle is bone, the blade is a carapace, and the decoration is a gem... a gem that flashes fluorescence if you wipe it with something. Mr. Zhaizhu, would you like to use one hand and half a sword in exchange for this customized weapon of the enemy elite?"

Gerard Chevalier grinned, and the thick beards on the cheeks and chin also shook violently.
