Dragon's Origin

Chapter 548: Wealth (Part 1)

What Wang Sheng said made perfect sense. The man-eating ants hadn't sealed off the entire core of the Thousand Absolutes Land, but were patrolling along that circle. As long as experts with high enough cultivation were present, they could definitely detect the movements of the man-eating ants in advance, avoid them, and enter the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land after the patrolling army of man-eating ants passed.

If they couldn't even do this, then it would probably be as Wang Sheng said, they would die if they went in, so it would be better not to go in.

In this regard, Wang Sheng didn't have the selfish intention of sealing off the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land, but was consciously letting all parties actively eliminate those with insufficient cultivation. It was just that Wang Sheng didn't say it.

Now that he knew Wang Sheng's intention, and the Xia family also wanted to buy the chance to enter the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land from Wang Sheng, the Third Elder of the Xia family also knew how to please Wang Sheng.

The Xia family would definitely actively publicize this kind of good deed that Wang Sheng did without seeking fame and was misunderstood, to promote Wang Sheng's reputation. It was a small thing that cost nothing, but it could greatly please Wang Sheng and Madam Mei'er, so why not do it?

Wang Sheng didn't mind this kind of small thing. The man-eating ants patrolling the edge of the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land also had this intention, but Wang Sheng wasn't so kind. He just wanted to delay the time for all parties to enter the core of the Thousand Absolutes Land. Of course, he had to say it in a high-sounding way, and he couldn't reveal what he was thinking privately.

Pushing the matter to the more professional Mei'er, Wang Sheng fully believed that the Xia family would definitely bleed heavily this time. He believed that in the near future, there would be a Qiu family closely following behind, two brothers in distress jointly fighting against the Shanyue Kingdom, who would fight side by side all the way.

Having some free time, Wang Sheng began to continue pondering the military combat skills. It was estimated that the Grand Master and Old Daoist Lingxu were working hard to figure out what the so-called military referred to.

Military combat skills and Tai Chi are completely different fighting methods, but the methods of cultivation are actually the same. The ancestors had already said that practice makes perfect, no matter what it is, if you want to be proficient, there is actually only one way, and that is to invest time and energy. Just as Wang Sheng said to Old Tie back then, there has never been a shortcut.

Just as he was thinking of Old Tie, Old Tie appeared.

These Grand Masters of Linglong Pavilion who were familiar with Wang Sheng, entering and leaving the Changsheng Duke's mansion was already the norm. As long as they didn't enter the inner residence, they could act as they pleased.

Old Tie came to Wang Sheng specifically to get an answer from Wang Sheng.

"Someone wants to buy a heavy sniper crossbow?" Wang Sheng asked with a face full of disbelief, looking at Old Tie with some incredulity: "Old Tie, are you sure?"

"The Qiu family." Old Tie told Wang Sheng the news of the buyer without hesitation: "They said they wanted to buy a few heavy sniper crossbows to deal with the flying mounts of the Shanyue Kingdom."

"The approach is correct." Wang Sheng nodded upon hearing this, but he immediately had a new question: "Are you sure that someone in the Qiu family has the strength to draw the crossbow?"

Wang Sheng's heavy sniper crossbow was extremely powerful, and could take the life of a legendary realm expert from ten miles away. This was not a rumor, but a fact that had been proven by the head of the Grand Elder of the Dai family. Of course, there was no problem in dealing with flying mounts. Wang Sheng had once shot one to death in the Shanyue Land with one arrow, causing the Shanyue Kingdom to lose five experts on the mount. That's why Wang Sheng said the approach was correct.

But the problem was that the crossbow arms of the heavy sniper crossbow required extremely great strength, and drawing the bow required hundreds of thousands of pounds of force. Even if Wang Sheng had designed a lever-principle stringing device, it would still require tens of thousands of pounds of force. Wang Sheng was able to be so strong because of the Bixi transformation, but Wang Sheng didn't believe that there was anyone in this world who could compare with him in strength, even if the other party's Yuan Soul was a Great Strength Ape King.

If the Qiu family had such a strongman, would they still be plagued by flying mounts like this?

"If one person can't do it, then two people, if two people can't do it, then four people, with more people, they can always string the bow." Old Tie replied with a smile: "It's just that they only have one shot after stringing the bow."

This was also a solution. In fact, with the help of equipment and animal power, as long as they only had to string it once, they could always find a way. However, Wang Sheng had another question.

"How far away do they want to shoot the flying mounts?" Wang Sheng asked very seriously: "Ten miles? Or five miles? Old Tie, are you sure they can see the flying mounts clearly and aim accurately from five miles away?"

Without Wang Sheng's sniper scope, Wang Sheng's heavy sniper crossbow was just a short-range weapon. Not to mention ten miles, being able to accurately hit a target three miles away was already Wang Sheng's superhuman eyesight. In this world, was there anyone more powerful than the vision enhancement triggered by the Chiwen transformation? Maybe those whose Yuan Souls were eagles or hawks could. But Wang Sheng firmly believed that no matter how strong they were, they couldn't be stronger than him.

"It's not that outrageous." Old Tie shook his head with a smile. He knew the limitations of the heavy sniper crossbow very well. As Wang Sheng said, if you want to hit a target ten miles away, you have to be able to see ten miles away. However, he knew what the Qiu family was thinking, and replied calmly: "The flying mounts come silently and are difficult to defend against. But if they can take a cold shot when they fly away, maybe they can leave a few more people behind. At most, it's less than a mile's range, and a sharpshooter should still be able to do it."

"Aren't there a few sharpshooters among the experts?" Wang Sheng was stunned. Was the Qiu family too useless?

"Sharpshooters generally don't have high cultivation, and their Yuan Souls aren't very advanced." As soon as Old Tie heard this, he knew that Wang Sheng didn't know much about sharpshooters, and explained to Wang Sheng with a smile: "Experts don't bother to use arrows. So they now want to buy heavy sniper crossbows to deal with flying mounts."

The latest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

They have been bullied like this and the experts don't go to learn sharpshooting. With the strength of Eighth Realm and Ninth Realm experts, this doesn't seem to be a difficult thing to do, but they just don't do it, and insist on letting low-level sharpshooters use heavy sniper crossbows to attack. Wang Sheng didn't know how to evaluate these so-called experts.

"They deduced from the power and accuracy that it was the work of Linglong Pavilion, and approached the Pavilion Master." Old Tie didn't hide the ins and outs, and explained to Wang Sheng: "So the Pavilion Master discussed it with me, and asked me to ask for your opinion, Duke. If you are willing to sell, then sell as many as you want and split the profits equally. If you are not willing to sell, then reject the Qiu family."

"Does Linglong Pavilion have a lot of metal stock for that kind of crossbow arm?" Wang Sheng asked curiously.

"Not much, at most enough to make two more, maybe not even enough." Old Tie shook his head. Where is it so easy to get that kind of high-elasticity and high-strength metal?

"Sell! Sell it to them!" After hearing this situation, Wang Sheng agreed without hesitation: "They dare to buy, why don't we dare to sell? Back then, these two were worth 50 million gold coins each, and that was for my own use, without calculating any profit. If they want to buy, one heavy sniper crossbow costs 100 million gold coins. Let's see how many they are willing to buy, and bankrupt them!"
