Abyssal Wood Bow
The longbow is understated, its perfect bow shape is eye-catching.
Ke Wenbin gathered up the cards and grinned.
"To be precise, it was Uncle Ren and Uncle Lu who took turns chugging. I could smell the aroma of the wine even from the alley outside the door for those few days! Uncle Liu couldn't handle it all by himself and handed over the bow in a daze."
Xiang Fangsu clicked his tongue in amazement. "To get the Abyssal Wood Bow from Uncle Liu, that must have been really difficult. I'm afraid it would have emptied several wine cellars."
"When I was a child, the Abyssal Wood Bow was hanging on the wall of the Liu Residence. I couldn't reach it, so I asked Uncle Liu to get it for me, but he refused! I'll remember that for the rest of my life!"
Bai Yinbin tried to reach out and touch it, but Ke Wenbin slapped his hand away.
"A Shui hasn't even tried yet, how could it be your turn?"
"Hateful!"
"Yes, A Shui should try it first."
"Give it a try!"
All eyes turned to him, Liang Qu was eager to try.
Even though I had never heard of the Abyssal Wood Bow, I could tell how extraordinary it was just by looking at the exaggerated reactions of the group.
The Rhino Hide Box was covered with intricate black and red spots. Liang Qu reached inside, carefully grasped the bow handle, and as soon as he lifted it, a heavy weight came from his wrist.
At the same time, the dark bow detached from the velvet cloth and seemed to come alive, with fine red blood lines spreading from the center of the bow handle, wrapping the entire bow like a spider web.
The red and dark netting, interspersed, resembles breathing.
An extremely strong sense of longing emanated from the bow.
The Abyssal Wood Bow was actually demanding his Qi and Blood from him!
Liang Qu was quite surprised. "This..."
Lu Kaiyun closed the Rhino Hide Box and smiled, "Don't panic, try infusing it with Qi and Blood."
Liang Qu calmed his mind and actively poured his Qi and Blood into the longbow.
A massive influx of Qi and Blood caused the blood network shimmering on the bow to gradually stabilize.
At this moment, more and more intricate blood vessels began to grow from the center of the bow handle, and without exception, all the blood vessels flowed into the bow tip.
Once the tips of the bow are completely covered in a dark red blood network, a shocking scene unfolds! Several blood streaks emerge from the bow tip, intertwining and knotting into blood ropes that rush towards each other!
At the parallel center point behind the bow handle, the two ends, entwined with blood vessels like two small hands, tightly clasped and fused together, thickening and finally transforming completely into a long red string! It is truly magical!
Liang Qu had assumed that the Abyssal Wood Bow, even when empty, needed to be strung, since all bows are like that—when not in use, the string needs to be unstretched and the bowstring stretched. He never expected that the Abyssal Wood Bow could grow a bowstring on its own! Everyone was quite pleased with Liang Qu's astonished expression.
This is exactly the effect I wanted.
The Abyssal Wood Bow may not be an exceptionally powerful bow, but its uniqueness far surpasses that of other great bows.
Everyone who saw it was dumbfounded.
Even though Uncle Liu's strength is not very useful now, he is still a treasure.
Lu Kaiyun asked with a smile, "A Shui, do you think the Abyssal Wood Bow is Spirit Weapon?"
"Could it be not?"
When Liang Qu touched the bowstring, he felt a unique, rubbery texture.
He could clearly feel the vitality of the Abyssal Wood Bow, which was more vigorous than that of the Fubo before it was infused with golden feathers, clearly possessing the unique life force of Spirit Weapon.
Lu Kaiyun shook his head. "The Abyssal Wood Bow is alive, there is no doubt about that, but strictly speaking, it is not Spirit Weapon, as it has not undergone a spirit infusion process."
Liang Qu was puzzled: how can weapons come to life without spirit shaping?
Ke Wenbin laughed and said, "The root cause is that the Abyssal Wood Bow was not forged; it grew directly from the precious Heavenly Abyss Soul Wood!"
"It grew like this!?"
Liang Qu raised his large bow, finding it hard to believe that such a beautiful curve could be a product of nature.
"Ahem, naturally, Secret Method was used to guide it in the middle. Apart from that, no forging methods were used, so it naturally doesn't have Lord of Weapons like Spirit Weapon."
The Abyssal Wood Bow possesses its own innate spirit; in a strict sense, the bow itself is the Lord of Weapons the Abyssal Wood Bow, requiring some time to cultivate a connection with it before use.
Xiang Fangsu nodded. "Back then, when Uncle Liu picked it from the precious tree, it was like picking a ripe fruit."
The fruit is the seed, so it is naturally alive. Moreover, the Abyssal Wood Bow does not need to be planted in the soil; it grows and repairs itself by absorbing the Qi and Blood of Martial Master.
I heard my father say that the Abyssal Wood Bow was initially only suitable for Galloping Horse Martial Master, similar to your Hundred-Forged Great Bow. However, as Uncle Liu used it to fight in the north and south, the Abyssal Wood Bow absorbed Qi and Blood and has now been nurtured to a level close to that of Great Martial Master.
Don't worry that the high-level design will be unusable or that you won't be able to open it.
The more Qi and Blood are infused into the Abyssal Wood Bow, the stronger its power becomes; it can withstand all of this up to the level of Great Martial Master, and vice versa.
Ke Wenbin said, "A Shui, you can raise it and use it at the same time. After a few years, you'll be more than capable of reaching the level of Hunting Tiger Great Martial Master. Who knows, you might even be able to transform it into a Grandmaster- level divine weapon!"
They all knew about the wonders of the Abyssal Wood Bow.
When I was a child, I often went to the Liu Residence to beg to borrow them to play with. Unfortunately, Uncle Liu almost never agreed. Only once, at his sixtieth birthday banquet, when he was drunk, did he promise to lend them to go on a winter hunt.
Xiang Fangsu and the others had finally managed to borrow it, so naturally they didn't hold back and didn't return it until the beginning of Beginning of Spring after the New Year.
So much so that afterwards, when Uncle Liu saw Huihui, he would always say that drinking led to trouble.
Lu Kaiyun said, "Uncle Liu also said that it's fine for you to use the Abyssal Wood Bow. A person who can be encouraged by His Your Majesty's decree is no bad person. But if you no longer use it in the future, you must return the bow to him."
"With the thigh muscles regenerating and the horse teeth growing back, there is no reason for him to possess the precious bow again; this is how it should be."
Liang Qu was very fond of the Abyssal Wood Bow.
As a wooden bow, the Abyssal Wood Bow feels like smooth and delicate mutton fat jade to the touch, much more comfortable than the cold Black Iron Great Bow, with a more balanced texture and center of gravity.
"Do you have any arrows? I'm really itching to try."
"Yes! I also picked up a few quivers. Feel free to use them before dark, and Kai Yun and I will cover all the expenses!"
Ren Yipeng took out several leather tubes from beside his feet.
The leather tube was filled with neatly arranged feathered arrows.
I drew one out; the shaft was covered with brown veins, tough and hard, and the feathers were as sharp as iron.
Ordinary arrows would break apart upon impact in mid-air, so arrows used by Martial Master are quite valuable.
Liang Qu didn't stand on ceremony. He channeled his Qi and Blood, drew back the bowstring, and slowly released it. After confirming the appropriate force, he pulled out an arrow and ignited his Golden Eye.
From the spine to the toes, everything trembled and tensed, the Dragon Tendons Tiger Bones rubbed together, emitting the roar of Kirin Beast, with wisps of lightning flashing and the misty energy of Falling Star Arrow swirling around it.
Xiang Fangsu and the others watching twitched, not because they felt threatened, but because they never expected Liang Qu to enhance an arrow to such an extent.
Then, a deafening explosion!
The air currents howled, arrows flew through the forest, and the strong winds snapped off branches on both sides.
A faint scarlet streak slowly dissipated, leaving a cross-shaped star in the sky as far as the eye could see.
Before late autumn, leaves were falling, creating a thick layer of vegetation on the ground.
Two giant trees standing close together looked as if they had been shaved bald, their bare branches swaying.
Liang Qu breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Whew, that was awesome!"
