nSystem notification: 1. Cured Meat 70ml of water completed transaction. Wind Rune 1

n

n

nKlein had just logged out of the chat channel when the transaction notification followed closely behind.

n

n

n‘I’ve gathered all of them!’

n

n

nHe was delighted as he opened the manufacturing page.

n

n

nAt the bottom of the manufacturing list, he could see the formula for the synthesis of runic crossbows.

n

n

nPerfect Runic Crossbow: Iron 9

/2, Copper 11

/2, Wind Rune 2

n

n

nCrossbow Bolts: Iron 7

n

n

nSelect Perfect Runic Crossbow and Crossbow Bolts.

n

n

nConfirm forging!

n

n

nSystem notification: Iron-4, Copper-2, Wind Rune-2

n

n

nSystem notification: Perfect Runic Crossbow has been successfully forged.

n

n

nKlein’s left hand had a crossbow with a compact and exquisite structure, and his right hand had five crossbow bolts carved out of a mold.

n

n

nLong-range weapon in hand!

n

n

nThe runic crossbow wasn’t heavy.

n

n

nIt was about a foot in length.

n

n

nThere was no bowstring, and a trigger at the bottom.

n

n

nThe body of the crossbow was gray and had many complicated patterns.

n

n

nThere were wind icons on both sides.

n

n

nBehind it, there was an ammunition slot.

n

n

nThere were a total of five openings at the back of the crossbow, which meant that five bolts could be loaded at once.

n

n

nThe bolts were palm-long.

n

n

nEach of the arrowheads was sharp.

n

n

nPerfect Runic Crossbow: A runic combat device. It has two firing modes, single-shot and multiple-shot. The bolts can easily pierce through iron plates, and the speed of the bolts is as fast as the wind.

n

n

nTwo firing modes?

n

n

nKlein looked at the runic crossbow and discovered that there was a small button on the handle.

n

n

nHis thumb could reach it.

n

n

nHe pressed it, and a crisp sound could be heard.

n

n

nKlein inserted all five crossbow bolts.

n

n

nHe aimed them at the earth wall and pulled the trigger.

n

n

nThere was no movement.

n

n

nSystem notification: Additional soul required.

n

n

n“…As expected.”

n

n

nKlein finally understood.

n

n

nAs long as it was a runic device, fuel was essential.

n

n

nHe thought for a moment before saying, “It would be great if I could add wood. The water condenser can be activated with wood.”

n

n

nKlein had two souls.

n

n

nOne was a Yellow Sand Octopus soul, and the other was a Single-Horned Sand Hound.

n

n

n“Add a soul.”

n

n

nAs soon as Klein said that, a ball of light entered the runic crossbow.

n

n

nSystem Notification: Soul-1

n

n

nThe runic crossbow vibrated gently.

n

n

nThe complicated patterns on the surface lit up one by one.

n

n

nPerfect Runic Crossbow: 100

/100

n

n

nThe number represented the number of times it could be fired.

n

n

nA soul could be fired 100 times, and the multiple-shot mode counted as one shot.

n

n

n“Give it a try?”

n

n

nKlein drew the runic crossbow with one hand and aimed it at the earth wall again.

n

n

nHe pulled the trigger.

n

n

nShoo!

n

n

nFive crossbow bolts were fired in unison.

n

n

nThey were as fast as the wind, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

n

n

nPoof, poof, poof…

n

n

nThey all plunged into the earth wall and disappeared without a trace.

n

n

n“They’re a little fast, but they’re powerful enough!”

n

n

nKlein quickly approached the earth wall.

n

n

nThere were five holes on the wall.

n

n

nThey weren’t arranged in a row, but intersected.

n

n

n“I wonder how deep it is?”

n

n

nKlein took out his shovel.

n

n

nThe number of times he had left to dig a tunnel was none but didn’t mean that he couldn’t dig. It was just that no matter how he dug, he was unable to enter the next catacomb.

n

n

nHe only used the shovel once and found the crossbow bolt.

n

n

nKlein reloaded the crossbow bolt and returned to its previous position.

n

n

nShoo!

n

n

nThe speed of a single crossbow bolt was even faster, at least three times faster than before.

n

n

nKlein dug again.

n

n

nThe first time, he didn’t manage to dig it out.

n

n

nThe second time, he managed to dig it out!

n

n

nIts power was more than doubled.

n

n

n“Let’s try again.”

n

n

nKlein needed to be familiar with the runic crossbow.

n

n

nFrom its power, to its range, trajectory, and the feeling of shooting.

n

n

nAs for the number of times he could fire a crossbow, he could completely afford it.

n

n

nA hundred shots were enough for him to save dozens of times.

n

n

nFurthermore, he had another soul.

n

n

nWith the runic crossbow and Little Fox, it wasn’t difficult to kill a crypt creature.

n

n

nPoof, poof, poof!

n

n

nHe shot again and again, digging again and again.

n

n

nKlein had a methodical way of training.

n

n

nAfter every shot, he would either adjust his posture slightly or stop to think for a few seconds.

n

n

nWith constant adjustments, his proficiency increased.

n

n

nAfter firing more than forty times in a row, Klein could shoot instantly. Without aiming, there was a seventy to eighty percent chance of hitting the target.

n

n

nApart from that, he could also quickly reload and simulate shooting.

n

n

nKlein could already quickly reload a crossbow bolt and finish shooting in a second!

n

n

nIf he were to encounter an emergency, this move could save his life.

n

n

nKlein thought for a moment before saying, “If I apply poison or anesthetic on the crossbow bolts, I’ll gain an additional boost in battle.”

n

n

nKlein muttered to himself.

n

n

nThe runic crossbow’s remaining firing times were 55.

n

n

nKlein forged two more sets of crossbow bolts, using a total of four iron blocks.

n

n

n‘With the crossbow bolts, I’ll pick a cave with crypt creatures tomorrow.’

n

n

nKlein put away the runic crossbow and looked at the mud wall on his left.

n

n

nDuring the day, the left side of the wall had a notification:

n

n

nDig to the left. There are two copper treasure chests and rich resources. Unfortunately, there are two Rock Armor Crocodiles guarding them. Although they move slowly, they have a hard outer skin. The fox can’t break through the defense, and you, a weakling, can’t do anything about it.

n

n

nDig to the left. There are two copper treasure chests and rich resources. Unfortunately, there are two Rock Armor Crocodiles guarding them. Although they move slowly, they have a hard outer skin. It’s best if an arrow hits their head. Otherwise, you’ll suffer.

n

n

nIf there were no runes, Klein planned on digging left.

n

n

nThere were resources and crypt creatures in the catacombs there.

n

n

nLittle Fox could deal with one.

n

n

n“Two of them. Their movements are slow…”

n

n

n“As long as I make a plan, it won’t be difficult to destroy them one by one.”

n

n

nKlein already had a plan in mind.

n

n

nTomorrow, he would have Little Fox stall one while he dealt with the other.
