Chapter 39 Customized Heavy Bow
After all matters were settled and the money was put into my pocket, it was already getting dark.

Zhao Qiao and the other two hurried back.

"That cult has been causing a lot of trouble lately, with people dying every day. We hurried back home. Shitou, you should be careful too."

Witch God Cult.

Chen Sanshi felt strange.

Logically speaking, this group of people should have kept their heads down while hiding in Poyang. How dare they come out and cause trouble?
I don't know when I can find them.

Taking the silver, Chen Sanshi went to the pharmacy, but it was closed.

Not only Yunhe Pharmacy, but also Yunhe Pharmacy was closed.

"I'm late?"

He is not in a hurry and will do the same if he comes tomorrow.

When they rushed back home, Gu Xinlan and Xu Bin's wife Tong were making slippers in the yard. They saw someone rushing in wearing a bloody tiger skin. They were so frightened that they trembled and screamed.

"Brother Shi..."

Gu Xinlan's heart was pounding, and she said in disbelief, "You killed a big insect?"

Chen Sanshi threw down his things somewhat awkwardly and apologized to Tong: "Sister-in-law, I didn't know you were here."

"It's all right. It's all right."

Looking at the young man covered in blood, Tong dared not stay any longer and left in a panic.

"Brother Shi, you are really something."

After Gu Xinlan recovered, she came up to unload the goods: "Sister Tong is still pregnant."

"Blame me."

Chen Sanshi took off his armor and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Lan. Cook the tiger heart and meat together. When you are free, you can process the tiger skin and make it into a blanket or something."

It is late autumn and the days are getting cooler. Tiger skin can be used to keep out the cold.

"Okay, wash your face first."

Gu Xinlan turned around and went to the kitchen to busy herself.

At the dinner table, dishes were served one after another.

It goes without saying that there are tiger hearts and tiger meat, beef, salted duck eggs, and white rice, and blood-replenishing medicine is used to make the soup, which is very rich.

Chen Sanshi held the tiger's heart and started to gnaw on it.

"Brother Shi, eat less...eat less." Gu Xinlan bit her lip, her cheeks flushed, and advised hesitantly.

"Ok?"

Chen Sanshi was stunned.

He recalled and remembered that after eating the bear heart last time, it seemed that his blood and qi were too abundant, which made Lan Jie'er suffer a lot.

"fine."

Chen Sanshi ate with big mouthfuls: "I am not as good as before. I can control myself now."

To buy the tiger heart alone would cost at least thirty taels of silver, and it might not even be available.

After all, big insects are not like rabbits, which can be found everywhere in the mountains.

After taking a few bites of tiger heart meat, Chen Sanshi's whole body began to feel like it was on fire. The effect was even stronger than that of the bear heart. Apart from that, he also felt a sense of violence.

It was as if he was the evil tiger, wanting to kill crazily and bloodthirstily.

Taking advantage of this momentum, Chen Sanshi stuffed two mouthfuls of beef paste into his mouth to fill his stomach, and drank the blood-replenishing soup. Then he picked up the reed-leaf spear and went to the yard to start practicing.

It was late autumn, and there were many trees outside their house. The dead leaves were blown into the yard by the wind and covered the ground.

The spear whistled, blowing up the withered yellow leaves in the courtyard, as if thousands of butterflies were dancing around the young man. However, these butterflies exuded endless murderous intent. They flew faster and faster, almost turning into a tornado, determined to crush everything that approached to pieces.

It is murderous and yet extremely beautiful.

Gu Xinlan was almost dazed by what she saw.

How many days has it been?

More than a month ago, their family was still worried about how to pay taxes.

Now the family not only has enough food and clothing, but the man has also learned martial arts, which is simply a dream.

One person practices martial arts, while the other watches.

Before we knew it, the red sun set in the west, the sky gradually darkened, and the stars lit up in the night sky.

Only when Chen Sanshi was soaked all over did he decide to stop.

"call……"

He let out a long breath and directly stuck the spear under the plum tree in the yard.

[Kung Fu: Basic Spear Skills for Soldiers (Mastery)]

[Progress: (120/1000)]

[Effect: Swift spear power, amazing endurance, strong blood and qi]

"This tiger meat is really effective!" "I'll buy more tonic tomorrow. I'll definitely be able to break through to a minor success within half a month!"

"hiss……"

Even after practicing spearmanship for several hours, Chen Sanshi still felt the tiger heart meat and blood-replenishing soup continuing to take effect, making his blood boil, but his muscles really needed a little rest.

"Come on, wipe your sweat."

Gu Xinlan had already prepared a towel in advance and wiped the boy's forehead patiently and carefully: "You must be hungry, what do you want to eat, ah!"

Her slender wrist was suddenly grabbed.

"Brother Shi, what are you doing?"

"Dry!"

Chen Sanshi picked up Lan Jie'er and carried her horizontally, and ran straight to the bedroom.

"I told you, don't eat so many beast hearts!"

……

The next day.

When Chen Sanshi arrived at the gate of the military camp, he happened to meet a group of people returning home exhausted.

Leading the way was Luo Dongquan on horseback.

There was a man imprisoned in the prison van in the middle of the team.

The man was wearing the clothes of ordinary people in the Sheng Dynasty, but his face looked a little different, which seemed a bit out of place.

Luo Dongquan glanced at him without saying anything, then led his men into the military camp.

"Bear Hundred Household."

Chen Sanshi found Captain Xiong at the end of the team and asked: "Could this person be..."

"Yes, it's from the Wushen Cult."

Captain Xiong cursed and said, "This kid is so bold that the whole city is searching for them, but he still went to Chun Man Lou to look for a girl!"

"Are you so brave?" Chen Sanshi asked.

"No!"

Captain Xiong said, "If I hadn't just happened to be next door and fighting with him for Miss Ruyan, who would have thought of this? What a dark place under the lamp!"

"..."

Chen Sanshi doesn't care about this.

What he cared about was the immortal treasure: "Have all the people from the Wushen Cult been captured?"

"That's not the case."

Captain Xiong touched his nose and said, "But it will be soon. If we catch one, how can we be afraid that we can't find out where the others are hiding? It will only take a few days."

Chen Sanshi breathed a sigh of relief.

If the matter is not over yet, it means that the magic key has not been found and there is still a chance.

Of course, he was playing it by ear and wouldn't risk his life for it.

Anyway, the box is in his hands, he just needs to know who has the key and then he can take his time.

Watching the troops enter the military camp, Chen Sanshi was busy with his own affairs.

He came to the craftsman's forge and stated his needs.

The person in charge is named Niu Gai, a shirtless middle-aged man with eye-catching muscular body.

He stopped what he was doing and wiped the sweat off his head with a rag. "How heavy do you want the bow to be?"

"Ten stones."

Chen Sanshi preserved few tiger bones, only a few harder parts.

"Tiger bone?"

Niu Gai picked up the skull and touched it in his hand. "It's a good substitute for ox horn or hardwood to make a bow, but it lacks toughness for a bow base. I suggest you use a variant of purple bamboo that's over fifty years old. Even with that, it's hard to make a ten-stone bow. You can only make six or seven stones at best."

"Six or seven stones?"

Chen Sanshi asked, "How can I make a ten-stone bow?"

He still hoped to make a heavy bow that could provide training effects, so as to avoid having to constantly change bows and arrows.

Niu Gai explained, "Generally speaking, bowstrings are made of ox horns and tendons, and the upper limit is limited. Even if you force yourself to make a bow with a pulling force of ten stones, the actual combat effect will be very poor. Tiger tendons will not work either, unless it is made of exotic beasts such as cattle, or even better exotic beasts."

"Where's the deer?"

Chen Sanshi paused: "I mean, the exotic white deer."

"Deer tendons are flexible, and exotic animals are even more so. Of course you can."

Niu Gai said: "If you can really find a strange beast or deer, I will definitely make you a bow that weighs more than ten stones."
