Chapter 1439 Sharp Weapon

"Are you sure you want to choose the seed of the spiny ball tree?"

Even if Fengyun was by Shi Fang's side, it was impossible for him to mishear what he said, but after making his choice, he still couldn't help asking.

Fengyun also knew very well that Shi Fang asked this question, not because he didn't really hear his words clearly, but because he was surprised why he made such a choice.

In fact, Fengyun has already seen that, like Shi Fang, there are many people who express incomprehension to his choice, no, in fact, everyone except himself is very surprised.

When Shi Fang answered Fengyun's confusion, although he didn't deliberately raise his voice, the soldiers of the expeditionary force on the scene were all carefully selected, and all of them had sharp eyes and ears. Even if his voice was twice as low, they could still hear him. Be clear.

It is also because of this that they have a relatively detailed understanding of the value of the things they have brought out, which is also the real reason why they do not understand Fengyun's choice.

The seed of the thorn ball tree he chose is not to say that it ranks among the best among all items, even if it is ranked in the middle position, it is quite reluctant.

The seeds of the thorn ball tree are not big, only the size of a thumb, and they are inconspicuous and dusty. If there is something special about them, that is, their thorns are so sharp that even totem warriors will be pierced by them if they are not careful.

But that's all.

Everyone really couldn't understand why Fengyun chose it.

If it is used as food, it is completely unqualified. Not to mention that the spikes on the outside are not easy to remove, even if it can be removed, it will take a lot of time. With so much time, it is absolutely impossible to find other edible things. More can be found.

This is still based on the fact that it can be eaten, because according to Shi Fang's introduction, even if the thorn ball tree only grows in the territory of the cannibal barbarians, they have never used it as food.

If it was really edible, they probably wouldn't let it go, because compared to the territory of the human race, the territory of the cannibal barbarians is still relatively poor, and famines often occur.

As we all know, under the drive of hunger, anything that can be eaten will not be let go.

No matter for the human race or the cannibal barbarian, if a thing has no special purpose and cannot be eaten, its value will inevitably drop. Even if it is not classified as garbage, it will not be much better.

The seeds of the spiny ball tree obviously belong to this category.

If the expeditionary soldiers who found it hadn't had their fingers pricked by it, they thought it was special, and because it was relatively small and didn't take up much space, they probably wouldn't have wanted it.

Fengyun also knew that if he couldn't give an explanation that everyone could accept, they would find it hard to let go, but fortunately, he had already thought up his explanation before making a choice.

So when faced with Shi Fang's question and the confusion of everyone present, Feng Yun simply nodded and said, "I'll choose it."

"Why?"

Immediately afterwards, Shi Fang asked himself, which was also the doubt in the hearts of everyone at the scene except Fengyun himself.

"I'm for the trunk of the thornball tree."

Fengyun calmly threw out his own answer.

"Trunk? What's so special about the trunk of a spiny ball tree?"

Fengyun's answer did not satisfy Shi Fang.

"you forgot,

You told me yourself? "

"What did I tell you?"

"The trunk of the thorn ball tree is not only straight, but also densely woody, and more importantly, it can be split easily. Don't you forget all these?"

"Well. I did say that, but what does it have to do with your choice?"

Although Fengyun had given further explanations, Shi Fang was still not satisfied.

"It's a big deal. Don't you know that the terrain of my tribe is a bit bad, and there is a lack of materials for making arrow shafts. I heard what you said, and the trunk of the thorn ball tree should be quite good for making arrow shafts."

"I see. You put it that way, the trunk of the thorn ball tree is really good for making arrow shafts."

After listening to Fengyun's words, Shi Fang showed an expression of enlightenment, and the confusion and incomprehension he showed were greatly reduced.

Anyone who is an individual knows how important arrows are, and the consumption is extremely huge. If a tribe lacks the materials to make arrows, it will indeed be a headache.

But Shi Fang quickly said: "I still don't agree with you choosing the seed of the thorn ball tree."

"Why?"

Although Feng Yun's face was calm, his heart sank involuntarily, worrying that he would see through his true intention of choosing the thorn ball tree seed.

That's right, what he said to Shi Fang, it was not true that he chose the thorn ball tree seed to make arrow shafts from the thorn ball tree trunk, he never thought of using it like this at all.

He would choose it, in addition to its extremely sharp thorns, which can easily pierce the skin of totem warriors, there is also a detail that Shi Fang inadvertently suggested when introducing the thorn ball tree.

As long as the thorn ball trees bear fruit, regardless of whether they are mature or not, as long as there is a move to harm them, whether it is a human or a beast, they will shoot out the seeds and attack them, and the speed is very fast.

The seeds of the thorn ball tree reminded Fengyun of a kind of hidden weapon, caltrops, which was often seen in martial arts novels before time travel, and it was indeed very overwhelming, not at all lighter than iron caltrops.

Using them as hidden weapons, if you feed poison on their spikes, whether it is attacking people or wild beasts, it is possible to achieve good results by surprise.

Take advantage of the spiky tree's ability to shoot seeds when it takes damage, or turn them into weapons. Plant them around the tribe. If foreign enemies invade, whether it is totem warriors or wild beasts from other tribes, they can actively stimulate them to shoot seeds and attack the invading enemies.

As for how to avoid being accidentally injured by one's own side, it is not difficult to solve.

If the seeds of the thorn ball tree can be sprayed with poison, the attack power will definitely not be bad. Maybe they don't need to fight the enemy directly, and they will be severely injured.

In addition, he also has natural and man-made dual cold springs, and using spring water to water them can completely make them grow up in a short period of time, without having to worry about the growth cycle.

If they evolve and mutate during the process of cultivating them, it will be of great help to him, the cannibal barbarians, and even the entire Lei Ze tribe, and become a sharp weapon against foreign enemies.

It was precisely because of the great potential of the seeds of the thorn ball tree that Fengyun chose them. In his eyes, its value was far beyond what other items brought out by the soldiers of the expeditionary army could compare with.
