Mortal Cultivation-Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Testing The Hand Cannons

Wang Wei took the hand cannon and checked it carefully, and found that the hand cannon body also showed no signs of damage. But the bronze barrel was a little hot. It must have reached the limit of endurance.

It seemed that the third hand cannon with a larger loading chamber didn’t need to be tried. Although even if it burst, it wouldn’t hurt the people of the tribe.

After a little more thought, Wang Wei couldn’t help asking Mammoth. “Uncle Mammoth, how do you feel about your body’s ability to withstand the second shot?”

Mammoth took a few seconds to recollect, and said suddenly. “It’s okay, except for the stamina of the first shot, ordinary person should be able to withstand it.”

“Very good.” Wang Wei said excitedly, then turned to all the clansmen and asked. “Anyone want to try a shot?”

After hearing the question, the people began to look at one another, pushing one another forward, but no one stepped forward for a while.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from a distance. “Wei’er. If no one dares to try, it is better to let your father try it first.”

.....

The sound of the voice was loud and familiar. Everyone quickly stepped out of the way, seeing that it was not someone else who walked in, but Wang Mu Tuo.

“Father, you are here just at the right time. Look at the weapon your son had uncle Mammoth made.” Wang Wei said, and immediately handed the hand cannon to Wang Mu Tuo with a look of excitement.

Wang Mu Tuo took the hand cannon in his hand and couldn’t help but watched it from one end to another, and at the same time nodded unceasingly.

“Okay. What an item. Wei, what’s the name of this thing?”

“Father, your child calls it ‘hand cannon’. With it, hunting will be much more convenient for the tribesmen in the future.” Wang Wei gestured excitedly and said, “Father, I’ll teach you how to do it.”

Wang Mu Tuo put the items according to Wang Wei’s teaching method, and then ignited it with a fire sickle, and suddenly there was a blast against the distant tree.

After the hand cannon shots, everyone came to look under the tree and saw another stone hole in the trunk. And the sharp-eyed clansman also found a stone hole in the trunk of the tree next to it. Wang Wei couldn’t help secretly rejoicing, and thinking. This should be considered as having some of the power of a shothand cannon.

Looking at the rest of the clan, Wang Mu Tuo immediately held up the fire and said to everyone, “Who wants to try?”

“Let me try. Let me try. Let me try.” All the tribesmen immediately rushed forward to try it for themselves. That battle for the row was like the victims robbing rice, for fear that they would suffer a lot if they didn’t get it.

Wang Mu Tuo raised his hand and handed the hand cannon to the tribe, and then called Daxia, Wang Wei and Mammoth into the stone room, while Qiu Shuang and Qiu Hong still guarded the door of the stone room.

Wang Mu Tuo first asked Wang Wei. “Wei’er, I didn’t know you want this item I brought back for you, but now I can see that it is useful for you and the clan in the future. But I need to ask you, do you have any shortcomings that you need to improve?” f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎

Wang Wei thought in his mind. *How could there be no shortcomings, this thing itself was the most primitive of the hand crackers.* But he slowly replied. “Father, this hand cannons are things I’ve been researching and thinking about long ago when I was going to have training with you. And its power is also designed by me through the power of the items you brought back.”

After saying that, Wang Wei pretended to think about it, and continued. “From the current situation, there should be no room for improvement. Unless...unless the power of the item is greater, I can design another style according to the actual situation.”

After hearing this, Wang Mu Tuo couldn’t help but ponder, and then said. “As far as I know, the power of this thing should only stop here. Although there may be more powder that are powerful than the one I brought, they are out of the reach for your father to buy them.”

Wang Wei couldn’t help but nodded and said. “It doesn’t matter, father. With this power, it should be enough for our people to use for hunting.”

Wang Mu Tuo nodded immediately and said. “Yes, according to my observation, the power of this hand cannon may be able the same as the attack power of a lower-level spiritualist. My son is really smart to make this kind of item.”

Turning around, Wang Mu Tuo couldn’t help but said to Mammoth. “Brother, starting from today, you’ll make a batch of this weapon first. The quantity... probably twenty for a start. If you have time in the future, you’ll have to make more again. Is there any problem?”

Mammoth couldn’t help laughing. “Patriarch, do you think there will be a problem with this little thing?”

“Hahaha.” The two suddenly laughed at the same time. In Wang Mu Tuo’s eyes, he could already see a group of cannon warriors composed of his own people galloping in the forest.

After the two laughed, Wang Wei couldn’t help coming to Mammoth and saying, “Uncle Mammoth, according to my calculations, you only need to make the size of the second hand cannon chamber you tried today. And I think, if you each hand cannon is equipped with a small metal for filling, and each metal is exactly the shape to fill the chamber, so it will be much faster to assemble the materials.”

Mammoth said immediately. “The son is reasonable, this is easy to handle, I will add it.”

After seeing the two of them discussed, Wang Mu Tuo suddenly said. “Okay, let’s do this for today. I will go to the city to buy more black powder and come back. Later, I will be able to form a hand cannon warriors in the clan. Wei’er, you’ll inevitably give them guidance at that time.”

“Your child, will follow your orders, father.” Wang Wei said excitedly.

Daxia couldn’t help getting up and saying, “Well, it’s getting late, let’s go back first. There’s still many things to do today.”

When everyone returned to the house, they saw that the clansmen were still queuing up to try the hand cannon, and they were all angry for not having their turns. Fortunately, some famous clansmen were maintaining order over there.

Wang Mu Tuo immediately waved his hand and shouted at the people of the tribe. “Okay, don’t try it anymore.”

When everyone saw the patriarch speak, they immediately stopped their arguments and leaned towards the patriarch.

Wang Mu Tuo glanced at the clan and raised his voice. “Everyone has seen the power of this hand cannon. I plan to form a hand cannon warriors from today to act as the main force in hunting. Believe that even if you encounter ordinary low-level monsters, you don’t need to be afraid anymore. The number of hunters is set to thirty first. Who want to sign up?”

“I sign up. I sign up. I sign up.” All the people responded immediately.

When Wang Mu Tuo saw this, he waved his hand happily. After signalling everyone to calm down, he pointed to the slightly fat man who had kept the crowd in order and said, “Yasen, from now on you will be the leader of the Hand Cannon Warriors. You are responsible for organizing the hand cannon group.”

Having said that, Wang Mu Tuo suddenly remembered something, and added. “That’s right. When choosing the members, try to choose members with a lower physical quality. This way, it will be of great benefit to the improvement of our tribe’s overall strength.”

Yasen nodded immediately and said, “Understood. Yasen knows what to do.” f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

“Well, everyone, let’s go. If you want to join the hand cannon warriors, look for Yasen to sign up.” Wang Mu Tuo waved his hand, and all the tribes immediately dispersed.

Upon seeing this, Wang Wei couldn’t help saying. “Father, mother. Your child is going to clean up his house too. I’ll see you soon.”

Afterwards, Wang Wei ran back to his yurt with the Qiu sisters beside him.
