Chapter 1666 [Fufu's Bizarre Adventure 58] Deer Antler Slingshot
Long Shi is on board.
Putting down the urgent letter sent by Peregrine Falcon, the investigation captain rubbed his swollen and aching forehead.
"What's the matter? What did the letter say?" Feng Ying, who was waiting impatiently, asked.
After leaving Groombaum, the Dragon Knowledge Ship headed eastward and arrived at the coastal area where Fu Yuelong landed.
After several days of low-altitude searching, not only was Fu Yuelong not found, but even some useful clues were not found.
But the investigation team couldn't just leave like that, so they had to continue their dragnet search, hoping that the huge hull of the Dragon Identification Ship would attract the attention of the Fuyue Dragon and lure it out from somewhere hiding.
"Yuna and the others found some clues, but..." The investigation team leader handed the letter to Feng Ying.
Feng Ying didn't answer and continued to urge, "Just what? Don't hesitate!"
The investigation team leader was helpless. As a scholar, he was used to pursuing rigor.
Important information like this can easily lead to information bias when relayed by others, so he hopes Feng Ying can read the report herself.
But the latter was obviously not interested and just waited for him to summarize.
“They split into three groups and investigated three suspicious locations, and found something in each of them.
Shadow spiders that shouldn't be in Tros Jungle were found in a place. It is speculated that they were attracted by the abnormally growing food resources in Tros Jungle.
The second site came to the same conclusion, and they even found two Deinosaurus mating. You were the one who submitted the early report on the mating ecology of Deinosaurus, so you should know what this means."
Feng Ying grinned, "Are both Tyrannosaurus rex full? The density of food is too exaggerated."
"The third location is what bothers me the most. They found a mountain and it disappeared."
"The mountain disappeared?" Feng Ying suspected that she had heard it wrong and repeated it again.
"Hmm." The investigation team leader was also suspicious, "When I saw this, my first reaction was that the 'mountain' was the floating dragon we were looking for.
After all, when the Fuyue Dragon is asleep, it does disguise itself as a mountain.
But the time doesn't match. Jiangbo Village said that the mountain has been standing there for countless years and did not suddenly appear recently."
Feng Ying suddenly asked, "Could it be another Fuyue Dragon?"
"Ah?" The investigation team leader was stunned by this bold guess.
"Isn't it normal for ancient dragons to sleep for dozens or even hundreds of years?" Feng Ying waved her hands and gestured.
“For example, there was a sleeping floating dragon in the Tros Forest, and it hadn’t moved in all these years, so people mistook it for a mountain.
In recent months, it has gradually awakened, and certain substances it emits have promoted the growth of animals and plants in the Tros Forest, causing an explosion of food, and shadow spiders, Tyrannosaurus Rex and the like have all come out.
At the same time, its awakening also attracted the attention of the floating Yuelong in Fenglong area on the other side of the sea, and it crossed the ocean to find it.
What are you looking for it for? Communicate? Fight? Mating? "
The investigation squad leader stared at her with wide eyes.
There's also a floating dragon? Are you kidding me?!
Fuyue Dragon is not an ancient dragon like Yanwang Dragon and Yanfei Dragon that "appears in pairs". Its existence itself is very rare.
Excluding those recorded in literature, the floating dragon in Fenglong Forest is the only individual confirmed to exist so far.
Attracted by another Fuyue dragon that had awakened from its slumber, it came across the sea to breed and so on.
Pretty reasonable?
After his expression changed for a while, the investigation team leader began to issue orders one by one.
"Convene a meeting of scholars to predict the path of their convergence based on the possibility that there is a second Fuyue dragon.
Use a peregrine falcon to send an urgent letter to report the matter to the Grand Elders and request reinforcements.
The Longshi ship adjusted its course and turned to Jiangbo Village to join the crossover team.
Since returning to Jiangbo Village, Fu Fu has returned to her idle state.
The seniors were all very nervous and busy, as if they were preparing for a big battle.
It's not right to be a novice hunter. As a novice who can't even be considered a hunter, she can't help much.
Fortunately, she also has the identity of "the eldest daughter of the Sterling family", and the local Chamber of Commerce was mobilized to provide support in terms of materials, personnel, transportation and other aspects.
In fact, even if she is the heir to the family, she has no right to fully utilize the resources of the Chamber of Commerce as she does not hold any position.
The order for full support came from Jessica.
On the first day they arrived in Jiangbo Village, the head of the local Chamber of Commerce immediately sent a letter to Dondoruma.
When she heard that Fu Fu was directly involved in some "special investigations" and Feng Ying was not around, the lady in charge was frightened.
Supplies and other things are fine, but don’t let that child go to the front line!
The village chief and others were a little uncomfortable. How could these usually shrewd and stingy businessmen suddenly become so generous?
Fu Fu, who had no idea what was happening behind the scenes, was so idle that she was almost growing hair. She stayed in the workshop all day, pestering the craftswoman to show her the process of making new weapons.
The old dragon was helpless, but fortunately, the processing and forging of deer antler slingshots basically did not require a forge, and there was no danger. If she insisted on seeing it, he let her see it.
The result of this was that the deer antler slingshot, which was originally agreed to be delivered within a week, was handed over to Fu Fu on the third day.
Look at this exquisite and small deer antler slingshot, which is not even as long as your forearm.
Then he looked at the powerful hunting bow that was made of metal and bone. When unfolded, it was almost taller than him. His arms would become sore if he held it horizontally for a while.
Fu Fu decisively threw her original weapon aside and happily played with the deer antler slingshot in front of her, which had no murderous aura and looked like a toy in the hands of a child.
The craftswoman handed over a leather bag. The bag was a bit heavy. When she untied the tie, she saw that it was full of black metal bullets.
These bullets are about the size of chestnut kernels, with sharp thorns on the surface and seem to be hollow in the middle.
Fu Fu was surprised to find that she had actually seen something similar and had used it several times during her time in the training camp.
There is a trick in hunting bow called "hanging shot", which is to put some darts, iron spikes, and metal balls with thorns in a cloth bag and shoot them into the sky with an arrow.
The cloth bag will unfold in the air, and the contents inside will fall down and hit the monster on the head.
It was difficult to use, not very powerful, and only useful under certain conditions, so she didn't practice it much.
"These are bullets for your training. They don't have explosive charges, or poisons or paralysis agents. Wait until you are more proficient in using them."
Fu Fu couldn't wait to pick up a bullet, put it on the rubber band of the deer antler slingshot, pulled and released it, and shot it out.
So fast! So light!
As Fu Fu was amazed in her heart, the bullet accurately shattered the glass of the workshop window.
"."
"I'm sorry! I will compensate you!" Fu Fu bowed deeply after realizing that she had gotten into trouble.
The craftsman sighed helplessly.
To be honest, she was already used to it. When hunters got new weapons, they couldn't help but try them out.
Swords and knives are fine, as long as you are careful you won't break anything, but she has also seen heavy crossbows and gunpowder rifles used indoors.
"Forget it, I'm used to it. Besides, this isn't how you use this slingshot with antlers."
The craftswoman took the weapon from Fu Fu and demonstrated it herself.
She first poured the pellets from the leather bag into the matching quiver.
This quiver is more than one size smaller than the quiver of an ordinary hunting bow, but the volume of the pellets and heavy arrows is incomparable. A bag of training pellets can be easily poured into it.
"This quiver, or pellet bag? It's specially designed. It's easy to use, and you don't have to worry about the pellets falling out while you're running and tumbling."
The craftswoman's hand wiped the bag of bullets, and four or five bullets were grasped in her hand.
Then, she pulled the slingshot and took aim, “A single-shot projectile has too little power, and even if it can hit more accurately and farther, it’s meaningless in most cases.
Therefore, the correct way to use this weapon is to scatter, scatter multiple projectiles at a time, and then increase the attack frequency to continuously hit targets at medium and short distances."
Fu Fu excitedly hung the bag of bullets behind her waist for easy access, and then took her new weapon back from the craftsman.
He followed the latter's example and grabbed five bullets.
"Let me try!"
"Go outside for an interview!"
