Lin Xiaowan said with a smile: "Where Tianchu Villa is located, it is adjacent to several mountains and has endless forest resources. The disciples have a daily practice, which is to go into the mountains to cut down and plant birch trees."
"The villa also has a logistics hall that specializes in polishing and making arrows. These are the arrow shafts they have polished."
Lu Feng asked curiously: "What are these soaked liquids?"
Lin Xiaowan explained: "The arrow feathers they make are all separated. The arrowhead is the arrowhead, the arrow shaft is the arrow shaft, and even the feathers on the tail of the arrow have to be assembled and matched by ourselves."
"The initial arrow shaft is made of ordinary green birch wood. Although it has good toughness, in most cases it is only suitable for daily practice. If you want to use it for hunting, you need to increase its strength."
"Otherwise, if you encounter a thick-headed soul beast, there will be an embarrassing scene of broken arrows."
"What the barrel contains is the 'yangzhi liquid' extracted from the mixed resin of Jinyang vine. Soaking the arrow shaft with this liquid can greatly improve the toughness and strength of the arrow shaft, making it less likely to break under strong impact.
The arrow can better hit the prey, which improves the reuse rate to a certain extent."
Lu Feng nodded understandingly. Although he had never experienced soaking arrow shafts in this way during his archery practice, he had heard Uncle Huo Gen mention this method when he was in Wuyou Village.
To be precise, it should be the illusion of Uncle Huo Gen condensed from his memory in the illusion array set up by Huo Niu.
The arrows he used at that time were not as sophisticated as they are now. Most of them were just sharp strips polished from ordinary trees. They didn't even have arrowheads. At most, they just had some goose feathers stuck on their tails to improve archery.
Trajectory precision and controllability.
Lin Xiaowan continued: "Although Yangzhiye is not expensive, you still need to become a formal disciple and have the qualifications to hunt in the mountains before you will be allocated a part."
Lin Xiaowan stuck out her tongue slightly ashamed as she spoke, "I squandered all the things assigned to me by the villa a long time ago, and I got them from Sister Weiwei."
"Oh?" Lu Feng smiled, "Does she have a lot of yangzhi liquid in her hand?"
Lin Xiaowan said: "It's not much. It's just that she rarely used arrows in the past two years, but I ran out to practice for a while, so she had some surplus. However, the Maying powder on the arrowheads is tempered by her. She usually uses it for herself."
To protect yourself, you can use it much faster than me."
Lin Xiaowan then pointed to two shallow tubes soaked with arrowheads and said: "These green liquids are the venom that was mixed with water by Maying Powder. Once the wound of the prey is stained with this venom, it will cause paralysis in a short time."
"
"It's a pity that the threat of these venoms is limited, and they won't be effective when encountering more powerful spirit beasts."
"So, we sometimes secretly add the venom of the lizard snake to enhance its paralysis effect."
Lu Feng asked curiously: "It's all paralyzing venom? Why not apply more powerful and deadly venom?"
Lin Xiaowan chuckled softly: "I asked my master this question back then, and her reply was: We are allowed to kill animals in our villa, but we must not abuse them. That will lead to retribution."
"Most of the deadly poisons are extremely painful. It would be too painful for the prey to die under such arrows."
Lu Feng laughed: "I didn't expect Tianchu Villa to have such a benevolent and righteous side."
"Actually, that's not entirely true," Lin Xiaowan said awkwardly: "Later, I learned from my senior sisters and brothers that another reason why highly poisonous arrows are strictly prohibited is that those highly poisonous poisons will leave behind and spread through the prey's body, affecting the taste.
If you are not careful, the cooked spiritual food will be poisonous."
"Uh?" Lu Feng was stunned, "Wouldn't the Maying Powder and the like remain?"
Lin Xiaowan said: "Maying Powder is extracted from various herbs. After being hit by an arrow, it will dissipate on its own within a short period of time."
Lu Feng asked with some concern: "There were no more powerful arrow feathers in Chushan Villa that day?"
Thinking of the ones I entrusted the Tool Sect to refine...
Lu Feng couldn't help but feel guilty. If Tianchu Villa was averse to ruthless hunting methods, then he should really consider it and try not to use those arrow feathers.
Lin Xiaowan explained: "It's not like there are no powerful arrow feathers. Sister Weiwei was given a few arrow feathers made of tin, hemp, fine iron and sky gray numbness. The paralyzing toxicity of those arrow feathers is ordinary.
Even the soul beasts at the Earth Soul Realm level can’t stand it.”
"Or just numbing toxicity?"
Lin Xiaowan said: "We use bows and arrows to hunt. In most cases, we face ordinary soul beasts at the Five Elements Realm level."
"A soul beast with the strength of the Earth Soul Realm, even if it is supplemented with poison, can easily be harmed by a bow and arrow alone."
"So it doesn't matter if there are more powerful arrow feathers. If you really encounter those powerful spirit beasts, your bow and arrow will be useless. Everyone will hunt them based on their abilities."
"At that time, I will no longer care about means. If you can bring the prey back to the villa, then it is a good means."
Lu Feng nodded secretly. With his strength and skill in bow and arrow, he didn't need to use those arrow feathers to deal with ordinary Five Elements Realm spirit beasts. It is no exaggeration to say that he could just use a wooden pole without an arrow.
He can kill his prey with hard power.
Lin Xiaowan then said again: "Brother, can you show me your bow?"
Lu Feng was stunned for a moment, and then he searched the Qilin Ring with his soul consciousness and found the Netherworld Bow that had been put aside for a long time.
Considering that the Netherworld Bow was of average quality, he was not worried that Lin Xiaowan would notice anything strange.
But when he took out the Netherworld Bow, he suddenly realized that Lin Xiaowan asked so directly, how could he seem to know that he must have a bow and arrow in his hand?
With some suspicion, Lu Feng asked tentatively: "How did you know I had a bow and arrow in my hand?"
Lin Xiaowan was startled and said slightly panicked: "Isn't it normal to have a bow? You gave me my first bow and arrows as a gift back then. You told me at that time that if it breaks, I can ask you to replace it with a new one."
He looked towards the Netherworld Bow in Lu Feng's hand.
The bow body is jet black and has a high texture. There are not many fancy embellishments on it, only some dark patterns, and a blood-like red string running through the bow body.
Lin Xiaowan was surprised and said: "Brother, your bow is so strange. What material is it made of? Can I try it?"
Lu Feng subconsciously handed over the Netherworld Bow and said casually: "It's just an ordinary longbow. The reason why this string looks so charming is that it is made from the blood tendons of the Netherworld Leopard and soaked in the juice of 'Qilang Grass'.
Afterwards, it will become dark under the force, you can try to fully draw the bow."
Lin Xiaowan listened and followed the instructions. Under the pressure of the bow string, the string, which was originally as red as dried blood, gradually turned into an inky black color consistent with the bow body, without even a trace of cold light shining through.
But Lin Xiaowan's face was not all surprised, there was also a hint of astonishment. "Brother, your bowstring is not likely to be made by the sinews of ordinary beasts such as the Nether Leopard. This toughness
, much stronger than the 'Shadow Bow' my master gave me."
Lin Xiaowan hesitated and took out a small, light bow. The bow was green in color with long white strings. The wings were dotted with some down, giving it a certain beauty.
Lin Xiaowan introduced: "This shadow bow was given to me as a apprenticeship reward by my master. Looking at the entire Tianchu Villa, it is also among the best rare existences. In terms of quality alone, it is comparable to ordinary treasures.
Already."
"Look~" Lin Xiaowan gestured and pulled the bow string, and compared it with the Netherworld Bow, "Whether it's the speed of rebound or the shock it brings to the bow, your bow is stronger than mine.
Where is Hanying?"
Lu Feng looked at the scene in front of him in astonishment, his heart trembled for a moment, and he suddenly realized something in his mind.
In fact, he should have realized the extraordinary power of the Netherworld Bow. Along the way, as his strength recovered and improved, this bow and arrow could always be with him, bearing his increasing power without any damage.
This alone is enough to verify that the Netherworld Bow is absolutely extraordinary, let alone one that can be made by a weak Netherworld Leopard's bones and blood.
The reason why he never paid attention to this point may be entirely because the phantom formation of Wuyou Village set up by Huo Niu was so powerful that deep down in his heart he still defaulted to the memory of that environment, thinking that
The Nether Bow was actually made by Uncle Huo Gen, and was given to him as a gift. His subconscious never thought of doubting this.
At this moment, after being awakened by Lin Xiaowan, she was shocked to realize that Uncle Huo Gen was just a memory array transformed into a fire cow. How could the Netherworld Bow he gave him really be made from an ordinary Netherworld Leopard?

It seems that it is also an object that belongs to the Fire Ox, but it was given to him in a suitable and appropriate situation in the illusion array.
Thinking of the objects that Huo Niu left to him before his final soul consciousness dissipated, the Six Paths Coffin and the Ancient Desolate Altar were all strange and strange existences. How could the Netherworld Bow, which was also made by him, be ordinary?
"Brother?" Lin Xiaowan looked at Lu Feng in a daze and couldn't help but become suspicious: "Where did you find such a rare treasure bow?"
Lu Feng chuckled in embarrassment and said: "I said it was given to me by an old hunter in his family for rescuing a pair of children when I was training in a place called Wuyou Village. Do you believe it?"
Lin Xiaowan was shocked, "Is this a family heirloom given to you?"
Lu Feng smiled. From an ordinary person's perspective, the appearance of such a treasured bow in a remote village can only be explained by the legend passed down by the ancestors.
While Lin Xiaowan was thinking about it, she took out another bow and arrow from her bag.
"Brother, your bow is too rare. It will easily attract attention when you go to Tianchu Villa. I'm sure you will be coveted by others and cause unnecessary trouble. Just use my peach blossom bow for the time being."
"This was given to me by my brother...that is, before you forgot your memory."
Lu Feng looked at the peach blossom bow that Lin Xiaowan suddenly gave him.
The whole body of the bow is dark gold in color, with long light orange strings. In addition to being engraved with patterns, the wings are also dotted with bright peach-shaped jade stones, and the handle is also wrapped with pink strings...
It is simply countless times more delicate than the Hanying Bow, a real bow for women.
Lu Feng made two gestures, but the force was pitifully light, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"Aren't you afraid that your brother will be laughed at when you use this peach blossom bow?"
