Of course, there are good bows and arrows, but they are very difficult and expensive to make, and their cost performance is far inferior to weapons like flying swords.

Flying sword attacks require a lot of spiritual power, and the same goes for bows and arrows.

Without the blessing of spiritual power, those ordinary arrows may not even have the ability to break through defenses, and may even be avoided by the enemy from a distance due to insufficient speed.

Ordinary bows and arrows are simply not suitable for practitioners on the battlefield.

Since both bows and arrows and flying swords require spiritual energy, it is better to use flying swords directly. Not only are the power and controllability better than bows and arrows, but they can also be used repeatedly, and the cost is suddenly reduced a lot.

In addition, for the ghost cultivators in the underworld, ordinary arrows cannot cause fatal damage to them at all, unless the arrow has an explosion effect after hitting the target, which can blow the ghost cultivator's spirit body to pieces.

But the cost is obviously higher.

It is better to use explosive type arrows than to directly use props such as Immortal Killing Beads, which are at least more concealed than arrows and more difficult to intercept.

In short, due to various factors such as cost, power, and inconvenience of use, weapons like bows and arrows have long been eliminated by the underworld, and there have been no records of their use tens of millions of years ago.

"But in the ancient spiritual world, bows and arrows were an indispensable weapon for the army."

Mu Guizun said: "As far as I know, when the heavenly army conquered the demon kings from all sides, they would always have overwhelming arrows to attack the demon king's army on a large scale, and the little demons they killed would run away with their heads covered. , corpses littering the fields..."

"Yeah?"

Chu Yang was doubtful.

He has never seen what the battlefield looked like in ancient times.

"Then why did the practice world eliminate weapons like bows and arrows later?"

"The main issue is the production technology and cost. Just like in the mortal world, crossbows have always been important weapons for the military. It is difficult for civilians to master its production technology and obtain the necessary materials for making crossbows."

"Is this also true in the spiritual world?"

"Of course, in ancient times, only Heaven could produce such sophisticated crossbows on a large scale, and then equip those heavenly soldiers and generals. Artifact masters from other walks of life... they could only use the method of making magic weapons to make crossbows, which is cost-effective Far inferior to Made in Heaven.”

"The crossbows in heaven are not magic weapons?"

"In terms of how it is used, the crossbow made by Tianting cannot be regarded as a magic weapon. At least it still requires the use of both arms to draw the bow. The shooting process cannot be completed with magic power alone."

"Isn't this natural..."

"Of course it's not a matter of course. If the nature of the crossbow is a magic weapon, then the process of opening the bow and shooting the arrow can be basically eliminated. In fact, there is not much difference between the arrow fired and the flying sword."

"You mean to say that Heavenly Court's crossbows don't need to consume spiritual power, just draw the bow and shoot the arrow?"

"It's not that it doesn't require spiritual power at all, it just doesn't require much consumption... Its main consumption of spiritual power is on the arrows."

"oh?"

"Just like the commonly used firearms in the mortal world, the gun itself is just a firing tool. What really determines its range and power is the bullet."

"Really? I actually don't know much about firearms."

"Okay, I won't explain the specific principle. You'd better take a look at this bow and arrow for yourself."

Wood Ghost Master holds the bow in his hand

The arrow was handed over.

The aura of the bow and arrow is very ancient, and it is obviously not a product made by Mu Guizun himself.

Chu Yang took the bow and arrow and asked curiously: "Where did you find the bow and arrow?"

"These are the weapons you brought back from Guiyi Palace. Didn't you leave a batch for those Witch Blood warriors? I just happened to find this set of bows and arrows, so I took the opportunity to study them."

"Really? Why don't I remember that I brought back a bow and arrow?"

Chu Yang was completely unimpressed.

Mu Guizun said calmly: "Maybe it's because there are not many bows and arrows, and they don't attract attention when mixed with other weapons."

"Oh? Really? How many bows and arrows did I bring back in total?"

"Not many, just two pairs."

"Haha, there really aren't many..."

Chu Yang suddenly lost interest.

What's the use of just two pairs of bows and arrows?

What he wants now is a war tool that can be taken to the battlefield on a large scale. No matter how useful this bow and arrow is, it cannot be compared with the artifacts and immortal weapons, and it may not even be as useful as Taoist weapons.

What use are these two bows and arrows?

Mu Guizun said calmly: "The bows and arrows you brought back are indeed not many, but I can still imitate them."

"oh?"

Chu Yang's heart moved.

If it can produce energy, this thing can indeed be used on the battlefield.

However, he still had to test the power of this ancient bow and arrow first.

Spotting a huge boulder in the distance, Chu Yang drew his bow and nocked an arrow.

There were rune formations for spiritual energy input on the bows and arrows. Chu Yang slightly input spiritual energy into them, and then gently let go.

The arrow flew out with a swish, and the speed was not slow, even faster than some low-level flying swords.

Chu Yang used his spiritual consciousness to lock the target,

Naturally, there is no misdirection.

In the blink of an eye, the arrow hit the boulder.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, but a hole as big as a washbasin immediately appeared in the boulder, with a penetration depth of three to four meters.

"The power is not bad."

Chu Yang was slightly surprised.

Stones may be easier to break, so the damage caused will be greater, but if such power is applied to other objects, it will inevitably have the same effect as an anti-material rifle.

Mu Guizun nodded slightly and said: "Its range is also a thousand meters away. In the underworld, it is already an absolute long-range attack method."

"Senior Mu, can you imitate it?"

"Yes, but I can't understand all the runes on it. The quality of the imitation bow and arrow may be slightly inferior, and the power and range will be somewhat discounted..."

"How big is the difference?"

"It's probably a difference of 20 to 30%."

"That's enough!"

Even if the range of the imitation is reduced by 30%, it is still 700 meters away, which is beyond the attack range of normal ghost soldiers and ghosts.

If two armies are facing each other, and the other side is still lining up outside the attack range, the arrows here have already arrived, which is definitely a very fatal thing.

Moreover, the arrow is a physical weapon, and the battle formation shield cannot resist it at all.

To protect yourself from arrows, you must use a shield.

But the power of this kind of arrow is so great that ordinary shields may not be able to withstand it.

“How much does this imitation cost to make?”

Chu Yang was most concerned about the cost issue.

This kind of bow and arrow is relatively simple to use and does not consume much spiritual power, but if the production cost is too high, he will not

Ways to equip the army in large quantities.
