Southern Wilderness, Vine Tribe, Flying Fish East.
"Chichichi..."
In the smelting workshop, Jiang Xuan poured a pot of bronze liquid into a large, long pottery fan.
The pottery pot for smelting bronze liquid has been improved several times, and its appearance has become very strange.
It looks like a large jade bottle.
The upper part of the bottle is divided into two parts, a large part is bent upward to make a high handle, and a small part is bent downward to make a leaf-shaped spout.
In this way, after the bronze liquid is smelted, it is only necessary to wrap the upper part of the handle with animal skin, lift the whole pottery pot, and then pour the bronze liquid into the pottery fan through the leaf-shaped spout.
After Jiang Xuan poured out the first pot, he waited for a while, and when the bronze liquid in the Tao Fan gradually solidified, but before it was completely solidified, a soldier raised a pot of bronze liquid from another smelting furnace and handed it to Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan continued to pour it into the very long pottery fan until it was full.
"Okay, let's wait and see if two different proportions of bronze can make what I want."
Jiang Xuan and the two warriors quietly waited for the bronze in Tao Fan to slowly solidify and cool down.
When it was almost cooled down, Jiang Xuan picked up a hammer and smashed Tao Fan piece by piece.
"Clap clap clap..."
Tao Fan kept shattering, and a golden bronze spear gradually revealed its true colors!
"when!"
Jiang Xuan tapped the war spear with a bronze hammer, making a crisp metal collision sound.
"good!"
Jiang Xuan picked up the bronze spear and waved it casually twice.
"Congratulations Chief!"
"Boss, this spear is so beautiful."
The two soldiers congratulated Jiang Xuan one after another, because this weapon was tailor-made for him by Jiang Xuan.
In order to cast this bronze war spear, Jiang Xuan tried two different ratios of copper and tin, which was the first time in the Veng tribe.
The spearhead part, in order to ensure its sharpness, uses four parts copper and one part tin, and the spear part uses three parts copper and one part tin in order to ensure sufficient toughness and certain hardness.
Because of this, after he poured the spearhead part, he had to wait for a while for the bronze liquid in the spearhead part to solidify, but not completely, otherwise it would be out of touch with the spear shaft.
Jiang Xuan waved it a few times, and then carefully observed the connection between the spearhead and the spear shaft, and saw that the spear head and the spear shaft were completely integrated and blended very well.
"Yes, it's better to go back and sharpen the spear."
Jiang Xuan wrapped the bronze war spear with an animal skin, and then patted the two warriors on the shoulders.
"Thank you for your hard work. If it wasn't for your help, this bronze spear wouldn't be so easy to cast."
The two soldiers hurriedly said, "Boss, this is what we should do."
"I'll go back first, and next time I come, I'll treat you to something to eat."
"Thank you chief."
Jiang Xuan left the smelting workshop with the bronze war spear wrapped in animal skin, crossed the river by boat, and returned to his yard.
After returning, he couldn't wait to polish the tail of the bronze spear, because this place was the entrance when pouring, and some burrs would be left after pouring.
Then, he found two more whetstones, first used a rough whetstone to sharpen the blade of the spearhead, and then used a fine whetstone to sharpen it again.
This bronze war spear is made of Tao Fan made by the lost wax method. The blade of the spear head is actually very thin. After grinding it twice, it is even more sharp.
Jiang Xuan also polished the spear shaft again to make it smoother.
"Try it."
With excitement, he held the open-edged bronze spear and walked to a large log leaning against the wall next to the house.
"Zheng!"
Jiang Xuan shook suddenly, and the bronze war spear made a crisp metallic trembling sound.
Then, he slammed into the big log fiercely.
"Dole!"
Under the blessing of Jiang Xuan's huge strength and extremely fast speed, the head of the bronze war spear plunged deeply into the big wood.
Afterwards, he supported the wood with his feet and pulled out the bronze war spear, only to see that the blade of the spear head was intact.
"Good weapon!"
Jiang Xuan couldn't help but be overjoyed as if a child got a new toy.
"Crack!"
He wielded a bronze war spear and cut off the branches of a small tree in the courtyard, and the branches and leaves fell to the ground.
In the bamboo shed, Tang Yuan looked up at Jiang Xuan, it had no interest in the golden spear, and continued to lower its head to eat meat.
On the other side, Crescent Moon was chewing the grass slowly, calmly watching Jiang Xuan with the bronze spear slashing and poking everywhere, his eyes were very gentle.
After fiddling with it for a long time, Jiang Xuan was satisfied with the sharpness of the bronze spear and the toughness of the shaft. He believed that this bronze spear would shine in hunting and fighting in the future.
However, he soon became worried again.
"Bronze spear is good, but this golden light is too conspicuous."
Jiang Xuan didn't want to expose things like bronze weapons for the time being, otherwise it would definitely lead to endless trouble.
Therefore, although the bronze war spear was successfully cast, such a conspicuous thing will definitely be noticed by many people once it is taken out.
This gave him a headache. Could it be that he made a bronze war spear, but could only hide it at home and continue to use the bone spear that was out of his hands?
Jiang Xuan sat on the threshold, thought for a long time, and said, "Can you disguise it to make it less conspicuous?"
Jiang Xuan pondered for a while, and tried to apply some grass juice to the spear shaft.
Soon, where the grass juice was applied, the luster of the bronze became much duller, but it was still very conspicuous compared to the stone spears and bone spears.
However, this attempt gave Jiang Xuan hope. There must be a way to disguise the bronze spear.
"This kind of thing, maybe my sister is more professional!"
Jiang Xuan immediately stood up, wrapped the bronze war spear with animal skin, and walked towards Chishao's yard with it.
At this time, Chi Shao was taking two young girls to clean the herbs they had just picked.
Seeing Jiang Xuan coming over, Chi Shao asked while washing the mud on the herbs, "Boss, is there anything?"
"I'm really looking for you."
After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, he glanced at the two girls.
Chi Shao is a very smart and keen person, she immediately said to the two girls: "I will discuss something with the leader, you should go back first."
"Yes."
The two girls put down the herbs and left the yard together.
Chishao also put down the herbs, washed her hands, and asked, "What's the matter with me?"
Jiang Xuan glanced around, then opened the hide, revealing the golden bronze spear.
Chi Shao looked at the bronze spear that was taller than a human, and was taken aback, "What a beautiful spear, is this a bronze weapon?"
Jiang Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, this bronze war spear, I have tried it just now, it is very sharp and hard, and the blade is not easy to damage."
"However, the bronze war spear is good, but it is too dazzling. If you take it out and use it, others can see that something is wrong at a glance, and it will cause a lot of trouble."
Chi Shao said: "Then what do you want to do?"
Jiang Xuan showed Chi Shao the part of the bronze war spear that had been painted with grass juice: "I painted this place with grass juice just now. Look, isn't it less conspicuous?"
Chishao nodded and said, "It's really not that conspicuous, but even if it is covered with grass juice, it will at most make the light of this spear dim."
"I think so too, so I want to ask my sister if there is a pigment that doesn't fade, which can completely cover the light of the bronze spear and make it look more ordinary."
"Let me think."
Chi Shao looked at the bronze spear, thinking about the properties of various pigments.
"There really is a paint, wait a minute."
Chishao walked into the house, and after a while, took out a clay pot and opened the lid, revealing a gray-white pigment.
"This kind of paint, once applied, is difficult to peel off, and after drying, it looks similar to the color of a stone. I will try it with a stone and show it to you."
Chishao found a dark green stone, placed it on the ground, and then dipped a bit of paint with an animal hair brush and brushed it on the stone.
Then, she held the stone with a wooden stick, took it into the house, and baked it over the fire.
In the high temperature, the pigment dries quickly, and a gray-white trace appears on the dark green stone.
Afterwards, Chishao took the stone outside and put it on the ground.
She used a scoop made from the fruit of a gourd plant, scooped a scoop of water, poured it on the stone, and rubbed it with her hands, but the gray-white paint did not fall off at all.
Chi Shao said: "You see, as long as this paint is baked with fire, water can't wash it off. Your bronze weapon is also made of stone, so it should also be able to be brushed with this paint."
Jiang Xuan picked up the dark green stone, looked at the paint in the pot again, put the bronze war spear on the ground, and said, "Try it on the spear first."
Chishao nodded, and then used the animal hair brush to brush some paint on the tail of the spear, and then took it to the fire pit to bake.
After a while, the paint gradually dried, and the tail of the spear was no longer gleaming, but was about the same color as gray stone, and it didn't look conspicuous.
"Give you."
Chi Shao handed the bronze spear to Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan took the bronze war spear to the side of the pool, first scooped the water, soaked it for a while, and then vigorously rubbed it with his hands, but the paint on the spear shaft did not fall off in the slightest.
"Great, that's what I want."
Jiang Xuan excitedly walked to the clay pot containing the paint, then picked up the animal hair brush, first painted half of the bronze spear shaft with paint, and took it to bake.
After drying, the other part of the bronze spear was painted with paint and continued to be baked.
After all the paint was baked, his bronze spear had changed a lot.
The bronze war spear, which was originally shining with gold, has now turned gray and white, as if it was made of stone.
In this way, even if Jiang Xuan took out the bronze war spear and used it, others would not have thought that his weapon was actually a new material.
Jiang Xuan said excitedly, "Sister, you have done a great job this time!"
"With this pigment, it's not just me. In the future, many warriors of our tribe can use bronze weapons without worrying about being discovered by other tribes."
A smile also appeared on Chi Shao's face: "That's great."
The two sat by the pool, chatting for a long time around the influence of bronze weapons on the tribe...
"Stone Mountain, Vine Wall, exactly as the leader Xuan said, this should be the Vine Tribe."
On a hilltop to the south of the Vine Tribe, Shan Jia looked at a mist-shrouded rocky mountain in the distance, and the towering vine walls on the outside, with a sigh of relief.
"Keep going!"
The mountain armor came down from the top of the mountain, rode a giant tortoise, and led the warriors of the mountain turtle tribe to the Vine tribe.
When we got to the vicinity of the Vine tribe, the roads on the ground gradually increased, and the number of people gradually increased.
There are tourists and people from outside tribes, which makes the warriors of the Mountain Turtle Tribe highly vigilant, for fear that someone will attack them.
However, they went all the way to the vine wall and encountered no attack, which made the mountain giraffe relieved.
Thinker
"What a tall vine wall!"
Shan Jia stood under the vine wall and looked up at the towering vine wall, feeling very shocked.
The Mountain Turtle Tribe also has walls, but they are low wooden fence walls, which are far from the vine walls in front of them.
After Shan Jia sighed for a while, he saw many people entering the Vine tribe through a doorway, so he also led people over.
The Vine tribe warriors in the guard had seen them long ago and sent someone to tell Jiang Xuan.
When Jiang Xuan came to the front of the door, Jiang Xuan, who got the news, had already arrived in a hurry.
"Leader of the mountain armor, welcome to the Vine tribe!"
Jiang Xuan walked out the door~www.mtlnovel.com~ laughed and gave Shan Jia a bear hug.
"Boss Xuan, it's great to see you!"
Shan Jia was very surprised, because he did not expect Jiang Xuan to greet him outside the tribe.
"Hahaha, the leader of the mountain armor, don't say anything before you come, so I can send someone to pick you up."
"You must be tired after walking so far. Let's go for a walk, take a rest inside first, and have something to eat."
Jiang Xuan enthusiastically took the mountain tortoise inside, and the warriors brought by the mountain also followed in. Only those giant mountain tortoises stayed outside temporarily, and were taken care of by the warriors of the Fuji tribe.
After entering the vine wall, Shan Jia was the first to see a huge jackal skull. He was taken aback and said, "Boss Xuan, what is this?"
Jiang Xuan smiled and said, "This is the skull left by the patron saint of the Jackal Tribe. It is now placed here as a decoration."
Shan Jia was shocked in his heart, but he didn't say it.
Soon, he noticed that there was a row of houses on the left. There were people coming and going in front of the house. Many of them were tourists and people from outside tribes, so he asked, "Boss Xuan, is that the trading area of your Teng tribe?"
In the spring, Jiang Xuan went to the Mountain Turtle Tribe to trade magic mushrooms, and told Shan Jia about the establishment of a trading area by the Vine Tribe.
"That's right, that's the trading area. It's not very large now, and there aren't many things that can be used for trading."
"Boss Xuan, can you show me over there?"
"sure."
Jiang Xuan took Shan Jia and others into the trading area and introduced him to the various shops in the trading area.
After watching Shanjia, the whole person was greatly shocked. The trading area of the Veng tribe has a lot of varieties of goods, which are many times better than the previous trading area of the mountain turtle tribe.
He finally realized that Wu was right, the Vine Tribe was far more powerful than he thought.
