The meeting continued, and the matters on the cave were basically left to Rongling to handle later, including defense construction and garrisoning.

The next thing to be discussed is the waterfall base there. Originally, Ye Tianlong and the soldiers were stationed there, with the purpose of finding Ye Qiong. Now Ye Qiong has also found it. Logically speaking, the soldiers retreated directly.

That's all, some temporary bases built over there no need to continue to exist.

But Ye Qiong now needs to garrison there and develop a large base, which is much larger than the canyon base and the mountain base.

The current location, the previous records of the Yeqiong tribe are also included. Now, the only way to enter the Dinglong Mountains is the only channel that Yeqiong has discovered now.

If the remains of that tribe were not discovered, Ye Qiong would not have thought of stationing troops there after he came out.

Now for Ye Qiong, the focus is not on the resources in the Dinglong Mountains, but on the ancient tribe.

The construction of the waterfall base and the number of soldiers who need to be stationed cannot be too many for the time being. The number of military combatants of the tribe is still a little nervous.

At present, there are only fifty soldiers who can be left to Ye Qiong to develop the waterfall base there.

But it is enough for the time being. After all, there are Qingzhi and Qinglie there, as well as so many forest ancient apes to help.

If there are forest apes who help do something in the middle, they will be much faster in efficiency.

The meeting was held until evening, which determined many things that were going to develop this winter.

With abundant food and supplies, the birth rate of the tribe is also good, and the overall population of the tribe has exceeded 5,000.

Now the strategy of Yeqiong tribe is to encourage surplus. As long as the children are left, the tribe will be kept under the utmost care and don’t worry about any problems later.

For families with newborn babies, there will be more supplies and food as a whole.

As long as the birth rate of the tribe continues to be like this, it will only be a matter of time before it becomes a clan of ten thousand people.

It can be as short as three to five years, and it can be as long as seven to eight years.

However, for Ye Qiong, the speed is still very slow, so now we still have to find a way to accept other tribes.

With the current Yeqiong tribe, the territory within the stone city wall, which can accommodate 50,000 people to live in it, there is no problem.

If the surrounding bases are added, as long as some scale is developed, it can exceed the 100,000 people.

At that time, what Ye Qiong wants to do will have sufficient population base guarantee.

After it got dark, the meeting ended. Ye Qiong walked out of the conference hall. Ye Tianlong and the others had not yet come out and needed to discuss some things with some elders.

Ye Qiong did not mean to go back to rest, but instead trotted all the way to the blacksmith shop.

Now the blacksmith shop of the Yeqiong tribe has already belonged to a small arsenal. A while ago, Ye Tianlong continued to send some additional personnel.

It is still jingling inside now. Now, except for the few hours of rest at night, we are constantly melting scrap iron and creating new weapons for the rest of the time.

The last time the caravan brought back some iron tools, there are still some left.

After entering the blacksmith shop, Ye Qiong saw more than a dozen figures inside. It seemed that the disciples of the incandescent have increased a lot recently.

Ye Qiong did not see Kuang Baichi in the front hall, so he went directly to some places inside and saw Kuang Baichi with two apprentices assembling things.

After Ye Qiong came in, an apprentice immediately started shouting.

And the incandescent Ye turned around and when he saw Ye Qiong, he stood up excitedly, walked over and pinched Ye Qiong's arms and shoulders. After seeing that Ye Qiong had nothing to do, Aba started to gesture.

.

Ye Qiong grinned and let Kuan Baichuan pinch his body.

Of course I can't understand what I said, but I can probably understand what it means.

Ye Qiong simply explained where he had been away recently.

After saying that, Kuang Baichi nodded and asked Ye Qiong to remove the bone crystal longbow and bone crystal dagger on his back.

Ye Qiong will do it immediately, and it's time to take care of it.

Kuang Baichi lifted Ye Qiong's cuff and pinched Ye Qiong's bone crystal wrist guard. Seeing that there was no problem, Ye Qiong continued to wear it.

While Ye Qiong placed the estimated longbow on the table, he looked at the two apprentices and saw that they were assembling the crossbow at this moment.

After looking at the corner of the wall in the inner test, a wooden frame was erected on the other side, with four layers in total, each layer was filled with crossbows, about twenty, and a wooden frame was also placed on the corner of the wall on the other side.

, Only one layer is filled on it for the time being.

Kuang Baichi picked up the bone crystal longbow and the bone crystal dagger and walked deeper into the middle. It seemed that he could not get out for a while.

Ye Qiong came to the wooden frame full of crossbows on that side.

After looking at the crossbows above, Ye Qiong reached out and picked up one, turned around and walked out.

Ye Qiong had tested the power of the crossbow before, and I plan to try it again today. The purpose of coming to Kuang Baichi this time is to come for a new long weapon, but this thing will definitely be done for a while.

It's uncertain, so Ye Qiong is not in a hurry. It's more important to let Kuang Baichi protect his bone crystal longbow and bone crystal dagger first.

I was idle, so Ye Qiong continued to take out the crossbow and test it.

Overall, the effect is pretty good. The current crossbows shoot out arrows almost as powerful as half-dead archers.

"Swoosh swish swish..."

Ye Qiong began to shoot at a big tree in the distance.

The accuracy of the crossbow now is much higher than that of the last Ye Qiong test.

The power is almost the same. It can barely break the defense of high-level monsters, and it is useless for monsters above guardian beasts, but it is very useful for caves.

The strength of those eyeless monsters is only low-level strength, and the skin's defense is even weaker. These crossbows can cause considerable damage to them.

If the half-dead archer uses this kind of crossbow, the comprehensive combat ability will be greatly improved, especially when fighting against a large number of monsters, these crossbows will exert a very strong suppression force.

After shooting out all the arrows in the arrow cabin, Ye Qiong then walked back with a crossbow.

Overall, the crossbow is now very suitable for defense and combat. When it is on the city wall, it will exert greater power. However, the disadvantages of the crossbow are also very obvious, that is, it is too heavy.

Compared with a longbow, the weight of the crossbow has increased by at least three times, and it is a bit difficult to hold it for a long time.

In offensive battles, it is very inconvenient to use a crossbow. If you carry a crossbow, you can't run at all.

After walking into the blacksmith shop with a crossbow, Ye Qiong continued to wander around inside. He hadn't come for a few months. Now Ye Qiong just happened to see the development scale of the blacksmith shop.
Chapter completed!
