Chapter 98: Refining the Giant Ridge Bow

Deep Forest Mountain.

In a hidden cave, several Zhou family refiners gathered here. The flames in the casting furnace were burning, reflecting the surrounding stone walls red.

There were a total of five people present, one of whom was Zhou Yonghan, the head of the Zhou family, and the other four were the only first-level top-grade refiners in the Zhou family.

"Start refining the Giant Ridge Bow. You can assist me and listen to my arrangements." The clan leader Zhou Yonghan opened his mouth and ordered.

Everyone nodded nervously, breathing heavily. They participated in the refining of the Giant Ridge Bow, which was really a helpless move.

Clan leader Zhou Yonghan was seriously injured, and his life was about to end. His spiritual energy was almost exhausted. He could no longer complete the refining of the second-level magic weapon alone, so he could only call on everyone to help.

Just based on their level, it is still a big challenge to participate in the refining of the second-level low-grade magic weapon!

But now the arrow is on the string and it has to be shot.

Zhou Yonghan looked calm, calmly opened the furnace forging, first threw the second-level metal into the casting furnace, and began to forge small metal parts.

In order to refine the Giant Ridge Bow, the family treasury was almost emptied to gather all the required materials, and there was only enough for one copy, so it could only succeed, not fail.

Outside the refining room, the Zhou family members were also anxiously waiting. The head of the family Zhou Changyi, the elders Zhou Changyan, Zhou Changguang, Zhou Shourong, Zhou Daobai and others were stationed around the refining room to ensure the safety of the environment.

And such guarding took six days and six nights.

Zhou Daobai sat cross-legged on the ground, frowning, showing a bit of weakness, and couldn't help but say: "Grandpa, six days have passed!"

Zhou Changyi closed his eyes and rested, and said lightly: "Don't worry, the second-level magic weapon is not so easy to forge. Even in the heyday of the clan leader, it often takes a long time, let alone now."

"Can the old man's body still bear it?"

"There is no such thing as whether it can bear it or not, it's just holding on!" Zhou Changyi slowly opened his eyes, with complicated emotions, staring at the closed door of the refining room.

When the time came to the 15th day.

All the tribesmen waiting outside the door were already haggard and depressed, and their hopes were gradually shattered.

Such a long refining process consumes a lot of energy. How much can the success rate be increased?

"Alas, the refining of the Giant Ridge Bow this time doesn't seem to be going smoothly..."

"It's so hard to get all the materials together, is it going to end in failure again? How can people be willing to accept this!"

"The tribe leader... is not the same as he used to be."

"..."

However, when everyone was in a low mood, the stone door that had been closed for a long time finally made a sound again.

"Ka-deng! Clang..."

The stone door slowly opened, and everyone's eyes gathered, their pupils flickered, they were eager to know the result, but afraid to hear the answer, and all the complex emotions were integrated into their eyes.

The first to walk out was Zhou Daoqi. Before his face appeared, his round belly was reflected in everyone's eyes, which made everyone feel distressed.

It was not until Zhou Daoqi walked out with a tired face but a big mouth that the huge stone in everyone's heart fell.

"Live up to everyone's expectations. With the help of Zhou Daoqi, Third Uncle finally succeeded in refining the Giant Ridge Bow... Hey, hey, hey, don't pull me!"

"Get lost, Daoqi, you kid, have some shame, come out quickly, don't block Third Uncle's way!"

Zhou Daoqi cried and was pulled out of the stone gate by Zhou Changyan, and thrown aside.

"Ahem, Changyan, Daoqi is not talking nonsense. If it weren't for his help, Third Uncle wouldn't be able to complete the refining of the Giant Ridge Bow."

The clan leader Zhou Yonghan walked out slowly, and what he said made everyone stunned in place, looking at Zhou Daoqi in disbelief.

It wasn't until other refiners came out and explained that everyone understood.

In fact, the overall refining of the Giant Ridge Bow was still completed by the clan leader Zhou Yonghan, and other refiners were only responsible for simple tasks such as controlling the temperature and adding materials.

It's just that the clan leader is no longer the same as he used to be. After completing the main body of the bow, he was no longer able to continue.

Therefore, the forging of arrows in the later period was taken over by Zhou Daoqi. At the same time, with the guidance of the clan leader and the assistance of the elders, it took a full seven days to complete.

This is why it took so long to forge this time.

But not only did the crowd not complain, but their faces were full of surprise, and their eyes looking at Zhou Daoqi almost swallowed him.

Refining the arrows of the second-level giant ridge bow represents extraordinary significance.

On the one hand, the arrows of the giant ridge bow are disposable magic weapons. Once used up, without the help of the clan leader to refine, the giant ridge bow is just an empty frame.

But if Zhou Daoqi can also refine it, then even if the clan leader is not there in the future, the Zhou family can still use the giant ridge bow.

On the other hand, it is also more important!

Even if it is just the arrow of the giant ridge bow, it is also a second-level low-grade magic weapon. Zhou Daoqi can refine it, which is enough to show that his refining level has surpassed all the elders and touched the threshold of the second-level refiner.

A teenager who has already stepped into the field of second-level refiners with one foot in the seventh level of Qi Refining.

At this moment, everyone seemed to see a rising star.

With such talent, as long as he successfully breaks through the foundation-building stage, he will almost certainly reach the level of a second-level weapon refiner.

There is even a great possibility that at the ninth level of Qi Refining, he can barely refine a second-level magic weapon.

This is undoubtedly great news for the impoverished Zhou family.

But another good news also surprised everyone, that is the result of more than ten days of hard work - the Giant Ridge Bow!

The body of the bow is huge, and the bow wings are stretched out to a full two feet. The entire body is filled with blue-gray light. Exquisite lines cover the entire bow body. The vast aura can be felt even from dozens of meters away.

The tight bow string was full of power, and even the elders at the ninth level of Qi Refining could not pull it apart by themselves.

The old face of the owner Zhou Changyi trembled slightly, his fingers gently touched the work of art, his eyes were slightly red.

"Third Uncle, what special effects does this magical weapon have?" Fourth Elder Zhou Changyan asked.

Generally speaking, second-level magic weapons will have some special effects, such as the spiritual attack of the soul-suppressing bell, the powerful attack of Chen Zhaonian's spear, the blue moon bracelet that can form a light blue protective cover, etc...

Zhou Yonghan pressed his hands on the giant ridge bow and said: "The giant ridge bow is considered a very powerful magic weapon even among the second-order low-grade magic weapons. It just requires a lot of power to control and is relatively cumbersome to use. It lacks flexibility."

"But the advantages are also obvious, that is, extremely high stability and terrifying explosive power. If used as a strategic back-up, it can turn defeat into victory at a critical moment!"

Everyone gasped after hearing this, and even the clan leaders in the foundation-building stage called its explosive power terrifying, so it shows that the strength of the giant ridge bow is indeed extremely terrifying.
