Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 722: Chapter 468 Huge Changes: The Strongest Crossbow! (4400 words)_3

Have they started installing the new crossbow?

Oh, right.

This morning when he got back, he indeed saw the private message from Ma Hongwei, saying that Li Wenxi’s materials are enough for the initial mass production of the new crossbow.

”Where’s Ma Hongwei? In the treehouse?” Xu Xin asked.

”Yes, Brother Wei has been in the treehouse researching new weapons, not really taking any breaks.”

It seems that the previous experience where the Lake Giant Python directly crushed him and his treehouse really affected him significantly.

He’s very well aware of Ma Hongwei’s character, extremely cautious, and it took quite a bit of effort to subdue him back then.

And now, this extremely cautious Ma Hongwei is forced to live by this dangerously large lake.

Such a situation naturally makes this most cautious person Xu Xin has ever met restless, thinking all day about how to develop more powerful weapons to deal with this potential huge threat.

This is actually a good thing for Xu Xin.

”Alright, I understand.”

Hmm, let’s go find Ma Hongwei first.

Just woke up, need to clear my head a bit.

It’s just a good time to discuss with Ma Hongwei about the deployment of their crossbows.

After this exploration into the underground world, his understanding of giant beasts has greatly improved.

He’s also become much more aware of the threats posed by giant beasts.

Now, Ma Hongwei’s crossbow can be said to be their only means of confronting the giant beasts, he must take it seriously.

As for establishing connections, it needs all six of them to discuss together.

However, the others are probably still resting, likely not awake yet.

He posted a message in [Explorer], informing them that once they’re awake, they need to discuss establishing connections.

No hurry, since the other side, Shi Wanyun, isn’t in a rush either.

At this moment, his watch vibrated slightly again.

He looked up and saw a private message from Niu Fugui.

”Brother Xin, I’ve set out with those two people. We’ll get there in about an hour and a half.”

Xu Xin immediately replied: ”Okay, got it.”

Nice, once they establish a connection, not only can Niu Fugui come over, but the others from that side can come through as well.

He immediately prepared to head out.

”Eep!” Keke, seeing Xu Xin was about to leave, once again jumped onto his shoulder preemptively.

With Keke, and together with the person downstairs, Xu Xin walked to the base of Ma Hongwei’s treehouse.

”Brother Wei, I brought Brother Xin!”

A few seconds later, Ma Hongwei poked his head out of the treehouse window: ”Brother Xin? Just come up directly.”

Xu Xin didn’t stand on ceremony and controlled the treehouse’s roots to enter the treehouse.

The research room still looked as cluttered as ever.

Keke jumped into the pile of stuff, poking at this and pushing at that with its little paws.

”Aren’t you going to clean up a bit?” Xu Xin looked at the wooden and metal strips and parts scattered all over the floor, somewhat speechless, ”If you’re too lazy to clean up yourself, you could ask someone else for help.”

”No need, no need.” Ma Hongwei waved his hand, ”I’ve gotten used to it, and this way, it’s easier for me to find what I need—I can just pick it up right away. Last time I tidied up, it took me forever to find something, too troublesome, so I just don’t clean up anymore. Hey, little guy, don’t mess around.”

”Eep!” Keke raised its little head and chirped.

Xu Xin pursed his lips.

...So there’s such an approach.

This mess all over the floor makes him uncomfortable just looking at it.

If Ji Chaoyang saw this, he’d probably go crazy.

”So, did Brother Xin come to install the new crossbow on his treehouse?” Ma Hongwei picked up a backpack from the floor and handed it to Xu Xin before he could speak, ”This is what I prepared for us, the strongest, unproducible new crossbow! If that snake dares to come out of the lake, I’ll make sure it knows how strong Ma BaBa is!”

His voice was a bit gritted, looking out at the lake with fierce gleams in his eyes.

The strongest unproducible new crossbow?

How strong is it?
