Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Xu Xin took the backpack and wanted to take out the heavy crossbow from the backpack.

"Don't, Brother Xin!" Ma Hongwei immediately stopped his movements, "It's so big, it's hard to take it out. You might as well just assemble it on your tree house."

Is it big...

"Isn't your tree house equipped with this?" Xu Xin put down his backpack and asked, "Show me the effect."

When he first came, he saw Ma Hongwei's tree house surrounded by a new type of heavy crossbow.

Those heavy crossbows were very conspicuous. Even though they were hidden in the canopy of the tree house, they still reflected a chilling metallic luster in the sunlight. Some of them radiated purple light and were of purple grade.

Moreover, many extremely powerful heavy crossbows were placed on the tree houses of the few people around him.

He also saw several people's tree houses equipped with the one mentioned earlier.

Their few tree houses can already be called a very strong line of defense.

As long as the ammunition is sufficient, any beast hordes that have appeared before will be a piece of cake for Ma Hongwei's team

However, he didn't see which heavy crossbow was very huge just now.

"There is no assembly." Ma Hongwei shook his head, "So far, I have only made this heavy crossbow of this level, mainly because it consumes too much material."

Then he rubbed his head embarrassingly: "When I asked Li Wenxi for the materials, she refused to give them to me, saying that there were too many consumables, so I won't do this for now. I told her it was for you, so she gave it to me." I have a rack of materials."

"...Is that so, are there many? How many?"

"Oh, I just need ten parts of purple-grade steel, ten parts of purple-grade wood, and ten parts of purple-grade animal tendons..."

"Okay, okay, I see."

Xu Xin's scalp tingled when he heard the truth.

This consumable consumes more materials than the knife Zeng Tao asked for!

Let Ma Hongwei and Li Wenxi discuss this kind of matter. Even if he knows, he can't do anything.

After all, resources are in the hands of Li Wenxi, and technology is in the hands of Ma Hongwei.

He is in charge of using it.

"Besides, these are only the consumables for the heavy crossbow." Ma Hongwei became excited when he mentioned the heavy crossbow, and he seemed very excited, "This heavy crossbow requires five special heavy crossbow bolts. Metal materials, and five pieces of purple-grade saltpetre! This thing is a super-strengthened version of the previous super-heavy crossbow!"

As he said that, he took out a huge heavy crossbow bolt with a length of more than three meters and the thickness of an arm from the backpack he had just handed to Xu Xin.

Then slowly put it on the ground.

From his movements, it can be seen how heavy this heavy crossbow is!

You know, Ma Hongwei is a mutation with enhanced strength!

"Huh?" Ke Ke ran to the side of the heavy crossbow, stretched out her little paw and pushed it.

"Don't mess around."

Xu Xin squatted down, lifted Ke Ke by the back of her neck, and stretched out her hand to touch the purple-ranked heavy crossbow.

[Super Delayed Explosive Metal Heavy Crossbow (Purple): A heavy crossbow with extremely powerful penetrating power. With its own weight, it can easily pierce the purple scale armor of giant beasts. The head of the crossbow contains a lot of powerful Explosives, explosives will explode a second after the crossbow is inserted into the body of the local unit, causing tons of explosive damage!

Because of its special structure and being too heavy, a special heavy crossbow is required to fire it. 】

Good guy!

This introduction is indeed much stronger than the previous [Delayed Explosive Metal Heavy Crossbow (Blue)]!

But it is true, after all, the previous heavy crossbow only consumed one blue-grade steel and one blue-grade saltpeter, but this direct super super double, five purple-grade steel, and five purple-grade saltpeter!

The power of blue-level explosions is already dozens of times that of ordinary explosive crossbows, so this super crossbow with five times the purple-level material...

"Aren't you... a little too hard?" Xu Xin looked up at Ma Hongwei with a strange expression.

This power... is indeed raised to the level of breaking through the sky.

He was a little afraid to touch a heavy crossbow now, for fear that if he exploded, the two of them and the entire tree house would be blown away.

"Eh..." Ma Hongwei rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and said with a smile, "It's really a little bit. Actually, I made the heavy crossbow first, but when I made it, I found that the previous heavy crossbow didn't have any There is no way to use this heavy crossbow, but I have made a matching heavy crossbow that consumes more materials..."

Well, I made dumplings for the dish of vinegar, yes.

But this power is indeed super huge when you think about it.

However, a heavy crossbow arrow consumes ten purple-level materials...

What kind of super consumable weapon is this!

His halberd only used two purple grade materials!

Ma Hongwei waved his fist, "Next time, if that giant anaconda dares to come out of the lake again, see if I don't just pierce it and blow it up!"

Xu Xin showed a confident expression and nodded: "Don't tell me, this heavy crossbow... really has the potential to cause a lot of damage to that giant anaconda!"

If the level of the previous blue-level heavy crossbow is still a little lower, and I am afraid that it cannot cause damage to giant boas and can only deal with ordinary giant beasts, then this heavy crossbow...

I'm afraid I don't have to worry about this problem!

With a purple-level heavy crossbow paired with a purple-level heavy crossbow, it shouldn't be a problem to break through the purple-level scales of the giant boa!

And it can explode inside, causing huge damage to its relatively weak internal organs!

Now, for real, they have mastered the method of injuring and repelling the giant anaconda in the middle of the lake!

"Good job!" Xu Xin patted Ma Hongwei's shoulder hard twice, "You have done a lot this time!"

At least from Ma Hongwei's explanation, he is very satisfied with this weapon.

He can finally stop worrying all day long about some big guy coming out of the lake next to him!

"This... I just have some ideas." Ma Hongwei was embarrassed, "If it weren't for our explorers' rich resources, I'm afraid I don't even have the ability to research. At this stage, only we can use and consume such resources. Huge heavy crossbow!"

really.

Currently, only their explorers can use this heavy crossbow.

Not to mention the heavy crossbow with huge consumables, just this shot is a heavy crossbow with ten purple-level materials, which is completely out of reach for other regions, even for their strong organizations!

And they, not only have Li Wenxi to provide raw materials, but also have hundreds of tree house cores, which are recharged every five days, so they can barely support them.

But for them at this stage, this consumption is a bit too big.

After all, their demand for purple-grade materials in other aspects is also huge.

With one shot of heavy crossbow bolts, there are five pieces of purple-grade steel alone, which can make a set of purple-grade steel armor!

No wonder Li Wenxi was unwilling.

This consumes too much!

Other aspects of the budget are directly under pressure!

However, this thing is really as strong as Ma Hongwei said?

"By the way, Brother Xin, there are other purple-grade steel heavy crossbows in the backpack. There are all kinds of them. I prepared them for you." Ma Hongwei pointed to the backpack and said, "I originally planned to trade them directly for you. Yes, but since you're here, I'll give it to you directly."

Xu Xin nodded, and then said: "Aren't you going to install a copy of this heavy crossbow for yourself?"

After all, he is a researcher of the heavy crossbow, and he made this kind of heavy crossbow because he was crushed to death by a giant anaconda before, so he should have one for himself.

Although the demand for materials is high, it is not particularly outrageous for them now.

"No, no, no." Ma Hongwei shook his head and said, "Brother Xin, you can pretend. Your tree house is the most important thing. The attack distance of this heavy crossbow is very long, it can cover at least a few kilometers, and it can also Protect my side."

"And my side belongs to the periphery, and it is more vulnerable to attack than your tree house, Brother Xin." He continued, "It is better to place the body of this heavy long-range weapon in the safest position, otherwise it will be difficult to do it." Come out, it’s not good to be destroyed.”

Xu Xin nodded.

This is indeed the case.

Ma Hongwei's consideration in this regard is relatively comprehensive.

"Do you have any other ideas? Regarding the layout of the heavy crossbow." Xu Xin asked.

Although he has some plans of his own, as the maker of the heavy crossbow, Ma Hongwei may have a better plan.

"Um……"

Ma Hongwei thought for a moment, considered his words, and then spoke.

"Brother Xin, what I think is that your tree house is mainly equipped with heavy-duty long-range weapons to deal with giant beasts that may appear."

"The tree houses around us are mainly equipped with relatively small, low-cost, and smaller weapons that can cover vitality, such as tree house repeaters that can be loaded with hundreds of explosive bolts, to deal with small mutations Creatures and beast tides."

"It just so happens that there are four people, Qin Fu, Lou Fei'er, and Zeng Tao, around your tree house now, Brother Xin, and they are in different directions." He calmly analyzed, "With us here, if there are four people like before A large-scale beast swarm is coming, even if your tree house does not come out, Brother Xin, we can easily keep the beast swarm out."

Xu Xin nodded.

Ma Hongwei was right.

Now his own tree house is in the center of these people, and if he wants to attack his tree house, he must first cross the tree house of these people.

Even if a mutated creature stepped over their tree house and entered the interior, it was already defeated and not worth mentioning.

Therefore, on his tree house, those conventional heavy crossbows are not so important.

"So, Brother Xin, my idea is as I said just now, let's deal with the relatively low-level and relatively large number of creatures in the beast horde, and your tree house, Brother Xin, is responsible for the output of heavy weapons. The approaching monsters pose a threat!"

"Of course, we can't completely lose the ability to fight giant beasts, so I plan to install the conventional super-heavy crossbows on the tree houses around us, and always have blue-level heavy crossbows, which can at least cause harm to large enemies. A small threat, even if it can't be seriously injured, can still buy you time, Brother Xin."

After Ma Hongwei finished speaking, he handed the backpack to Xu Xin again.

Xu Xin nodded in agreement: "Your suggestion is very reasonable."

Ma Hongwei's thoughts basically coincided with his own.

"However, conventional weapons should also be kept on my treehouse. After all, if there is a strong beast tide and your treehouse falls, then you must all retreat into my treehouse and manage. At that time, my treehouse It is the last bastion. This last bastion must have all means of attack."

This plan not only applies to him, but also to other explorers.

"Even if you don't need it, you have to keep it on hand." Xu Xin looked out the window and looked at his tree house, "My tree house is so big, it's not difficult to put all the weapons. But... ...Materials should still be sufficient, right?"

Ma Hongwei immediately agreed: "That's right. There should be no problem with the materials, but if you add some conventional heavy crossbows, you won't need much material. Of course, it depends on Li Wenxi's side."

"However, if Brother Xin needs it, there is no way they will disagree." Ma Hongwei said with a teasing smile, "Brother Xin, you should ask for the materials yourself. I broke my mouth yesterday, and finally brought you out Got a rack of materials."

"...Haha, okay then. You don't know the power of this heavy crossbow, do you?"

"Indeed, I haven't actually tried it. After all, I haven't installed a heavy crossbow capable of firing such a heavy crossbow. But the power must be huge, and I am confident in this." Ma Hongwei said confidently, "There are three in the backpack. Brother Xin, if you are worried about firing such a heavy crossbow, you can test its power."

"Okay, I see, then I'll go back first."

"Brother Xin, if you want to try, don't bombard me!"

Picking up Ke Ke who was running around pushing a metal ball on the ground, Xu Xin left Ma Hongwei's tree house.

Now that Ma Hongwei had given his guarantee, he decided not to try this special heavy crossbow for the time being.

In addition to being too expensive, he was also a little afraid that the heavy crossbow would be too powerful and make too much noise, which would cause trouble if it attracted the attention of the giant boa constrictor in the center of the lake, or the mysterious giant beast in the hilly resource area.

There was no danger in the first place, so it would not be good to force him to create danger.

So, let's wait until we can use it.

He didn't go back to the tree house, but came under the tree house, and then took out the super heavy crossbow.

"Bang!" A heavy crossbow hit the ground directly.

"Hey!" Coco screamed while lying on his shoulder.

Xu Xin herself was also surprised.

This is indeed...

It's a little big!

It is bigger than the already huge super-heavy crossbow before!

Almost as big as the giant bug he saw underground!

In combining its powers...

This is simply a giant cannon!

No wonder he just wanted to take out this heavy crossbow from the house, but he didn't agree.

This is too big!

Xu Xin thought for a while, and placed the heavy crossbow in the direction of the lake, which is also the direction of the hilly resource area.

Lou Feier and the others are not in this direction, and this direction needs more protection.

But... a heavy crossbow like this seems to be unable to cover all directions around it.

However, when he was allowed to enter the tree house and manipulate the control panel, he realized that he was thinking too much.

This special heavy crossbow, in addition to being able to shoot directly, can also be thrown upwards!

This allows it to cover all directions around the entire tree house, covering a radius of five kilometers around the tree house!

Of course, projectiles take much longer to hit than direct shots, so there is nothing wrong with him choosing to face the lake.

good.

After adjusting this super heavy crossbow, he removed all the low-level heavy crossbows on his tree house and installed a new blue-level purple-level metal heavy crossbow.

Liannu, ordinary heavy crossbow, and super heavy crossbow are all installed in various directions.

There were three new control panels in the backpack. Ma Hongwei knew that he had a lot of heavy crossbows, so he added three more control panels.

He placed a control panel on each floor.

Swinging down from the tree house, looking at the fortress-like tree house she rebuilt, Xu Xin showed a satisfied smile.

This is really a sense of security!

It's just a pity that this heavy crossbow can only be used on the tree house. If you leave the tree house, you will lose the heavy sense of security.

In other words, he remembered that Zeng Tao had the ability to make heavy weapons.

Can she craft a heavy weapon that she can carry?

At this time, the voice of the portal condensing sounded behind him.

Looking back, Li Wenxi jumped out from the portal.

"Ah, you're right below, I'm here to get you some new metal...Wow!" Li Wenxi's eyes widened when she saw Xu Xin's tree house, "What is this! This is what Ma Hongwei said, Is it a super heavy crossbow made for you?! So... so handsome!"

Because this heavy crossbow is so big, the canopy of the tree house can't hide it at all, and the whole heavy crossbow is exposed outside, like a super heavy cannon.

It looked like it was indeed fierce.

"That's right, this is it." Xu Xin nodded and smiled, "When the resources are sufficient, I'll give everyone a fight."

"You have too much consumables for this heavy crossbow!" Li Wenxi looked at the heavy crossbow with glowing eyes, then turned to look at Xu Xin, "If it weren't for the giant anaconda in the middle of the lake around you, which is a huge potential threat, I would Why don’t you give him so many resources to do this for you!”

"Haha, indeed."

This heavy crossbow consumes too much, so far only he can assemble it.

Heavy crossbow plus crossbow arrows, this set will cost nearly fifty purple-level resources!

A heavy crossbow emptied half of their explorers' wealth!

"For the time being, we don't want to make a second one, and the rest of us don't need it for the time being." Li Wenxi shook her head and said.

Indeed, at present, there are no giant beasts attacking the tree house from the ground. Even if there are giant beasts in the future, it should not be directly at the level of the giant anaconda in the center of the lake. After all, even the underground giants can reach this level. no.

Therefore, for others, an ordinary super-heavy crossbow is indeed enough.

"Okay, give me the meteorite mine you mentioned, I'm going back to try it out, and I have to go back immediately, without me, their efficiency is too low!"

"Okay, come on, Wenxi, our resources are all dependent on you!"

"Hmph." Li Wenxi glanced at him faintly, "You are the one who eats the most!"

After collecting the meteorite resources, she didn't linger, and walked directly back to the portal.

But before Xu Xin returned to the tree house, his watch vibrated.

It was Ji Chaoyang calling.

"Xu Xin, I know the reason why Shi Wanyun in District 1 wanted to establish a relationship with us many times."

"We have delayed the cold winter for too long, and something really happened to them now!"
