The requirement for the first level was the Lother Copper Dagger. There was a hint because there was a material called the Lother Copper Stone.
What was Arrow of the Night?
Tang Shidao checked all the refining materials, but he didn't find any related to the word 'night'. There wasn't even a single material with the word "Night" in it. It wasn't that there weren't any materials with the word "Night," but that there weren't any. Since Evil Eye only provided these materials, it had to be made from them.
Thinking back to when Rotten Bones waved goodbye, it wasn't because he wanted to get the first win, but because he was out!
Arrow of the Night was the reason he was out.
Tang Shidao admitted that he was still a newbie in the art of crafting. He was just a little more experienced in the first level, but he was still far from a master like Rotten Bones. But then again, just because there was a difference in skill between the two didn't mean that the outcome was certain. If Evil Eye only needed a master craftsman, it wouldn't have set up a low-level level like the Lother Copper Dagger.
It would've just set up an extremely difficult crafting task right off the bat, and all the weaklings would've been eliminated.
In fact, both the Sorcerer and the Inverse Sorcerer had inherited the Sorcerer's Web's habits. Once a platform was set up, fairness was the number one priority. It didn't favor the strong or the weak. Everyone had the same chance. Evil Eye was an Inverse Sorcerer, but it still followed the rules of the Sorcerer's Web even though it betrayed it.
In fact, this kind of person was a true master craftsman.
The conditions of the competition were harsh, but that wasn't the case.
Even a Sorcerer who didn't know anything about crafting could make the Lother Copper Dagger in the first level. As long as you were fast enough, it wasn't hard to get the food. Evil Eye's settings were that as long as you didn't go down one level, you would have unlimited food. This meant that as long as you didn't act rashly or get tempted by the "gift," you could stay and practice slowly to improve your skill.
In other words.
There was a guide, but if you didn't have the skill, you couldn't blame anyone if you wanted to be the first to get the benefits.
Tang Shidao thought that the meaning behind the words "it's a perfectionist" wasn't because of the crafting, but because Evil Eye's principles were perfect. It wouldn't allow anything it built to be flawed. From Evil Eye's point of view, anyone could succeed, but it depended on your talent and hard work.
It had been a long time since there was any sound coming from below the secret chamber.
If there were no accidents.
Rotten Bones, Reverse Sorcerers, and the cloth-robed woman were all "stuck", unable to proceed to the next level. It was like a long-distance race. You could run in front of everyone at the start, but that didn't mean you could run all the way to the end.
At this moment.
Tang Shidao still could not find the materials to make the Dark Arrow.
It would probably require the synthesis of various materials or the extraction of the essence of certain materials.
He thought to himself, I might as well take action!
Tang Shidao first used all the materials to create a long arrow and then tested them one by one. The result was as expected: none of them passed!
Tang Shidao was not disappointed.
Aside from silently cultivating the primordial black flames, since he had nothing else to do, he continued to forge arrows. Next, he mixed the two materials together and slowly verified the correct answer. Tang Shidao felt that this kind of blind man touching the elephant experiment would not be successful, but he did not mind. He only treated it as a way to hone his skills and familiarize himself with the materials step by step.
Where did Dragon Fang's extraordinary skills come from?
There was no other reason, only familiarity.
Time passed day by day. Tang Shidao tried from two types of composite materials to three types, and from three types to four types. He kept adding and debugging without a single successful result. On the other hand, his crafting skills and material familiarity had reached a professional level.
Repeated extraction of materials.
Repeated experiments and synthesis.
Repeated hammering to create.
Simple, boring, and tasteless. Tang Shidao kept working like a machine. Gradually, he did not even need to submit. Just by imagining it, he felt that it did not deserve to be called the Dark Arrow. This boring process continued for two months. Finally, a faint sound came from the secret chamber below the left. It seemed that Rotten Bones and the Reverse Sorcerers were the first to make progress.
Tang Shidao had not found a clue, so it did not matter when he heard that the Reverse Sorcerers had made progress.
This kind of skill improvement was very gratifying.
He just had to keep working hard. There was no rush.
On the other hand.
His cultivation of the Primordial Black Flame had also improved by leaps and bounds. He felt that he had reached a certain edge and was only one step away.
This power was the purest source of power. Its power could not even be compared to Solar Eclipse … When he suddenly thought of the 'dark' effect of Solar Eclipse, Tang Shidao suddenly remembered an epic on the Sorcerer's Web: In the land of the dead, ten thousand insects clamored. There were those who were good at crafting, slaying insects alone. Ten thousand insects like the sea, a thousand towers like a wall. Long arrows like rain, washing the sky. Sharp arrows like clouds, turning day into night. The long night falls, ten thousand insects return to the earth.
This was one of the classic teachings of the Hunter's crusade against the Reverse Sorcerers. It was a four-word poem spread by a group of natives.
To put it bluntly.
This story was about a crafting master who challenged an insect army alone. He released a thousand arrow towers to form a city wall. The arrows he shot covered the sky and turned it into night. Just one arrow rain killed all the insects on the ground, turning them all into corpses.
Ordinary people would believe it after hearing it.
Tang Shidao was a hunter. He learned and understood more. He knew that the crafting master not only released arrow towers, but also sent out a large number of war puppets. The arrow towers also shot more than once. They kept shooting until they won.
Why was there only an important description of 'turning day into night'?
Because it sounded good!
Because it sounded good!
Tang Shidao knew very well the reason for turning day into night. It was because of a weapon: Cluster Arrows!
Cluster Arrows were a kind of super-large arrow that came with a large bundle of 'long needle-shaped' thin arrows. In principle, without the support of magic, this kind of Cluster Arrow was not very effective. Because of the addition of magic, the Cluster Arrow could achieve the effect of piercing. If it was in a land where magic was forbidden, a rain of arrows would not be able to penetrate the insect armor at all.
"Night Arrows …"
Thinking of the Cluster Arrow, Tang Shidao already had an idea. He checked the materials for crafting and found that there were really materials suitable for making Cluster Arrows.
It took half a day.
Tang Shidao made the Cluster Arrow completely. Although there was no magic addition, the model looked right.
He submitted.
The result was … failure!
Looking at the result, Tang Shidao was also very surprised. The Cluster Arrow was really made. He dared not say that it was perfect, but it should have met the requirements as well as the bronze dagger of Lohse. Why was it not recognized at all?
Was it because there was more to the puzzle?
Were there other requirements?
Tang Shidao did not stop. He thought while making the Cluster Arrow. The second time, the third time … Again and again, the Cluster Arrow was better and better. Even Tang Shidao himself felt that it was close to perfection, but the result was still: no!
Why?
Seeing this, Tang Shidao was lost in thought. At this time, affected by this mood, the cultivation of the primordial black flames also stopped.
He continued to make.
He continued to think.
More than ten days passed. Tang Shidao still had no results.
He could only imagine that it was impossible to make a perfect Cluster Arrow in such a land where magic was forbidden. Thinking about it this way … Suddenly, Tang Shidao's brain turned. Yes, this was a land where magic was forbidden. It was impossible to add magic here! In other words, this thing was not a Cluster Arrow. At least, it was not suitable for a Cluster Arrow in a land where magic was forbidden.
The Evil Eye asked for a Dark Night Arrow. If it could not achieve the effect, what was the point of Cluster Arrow?
He thought that he might as well act.
Tang Shidao immediately began to make the Cluster Arrow, thinking about what kind of Cluster Arrow was suitable for a land where magic was forbidden and how to improve it.
The next few days …
Tang Shidao had been experimenting. He did not care when he heard the sound of the secret room on the right descending.
Even with the inspiration, it still took him half a month to make a new Cluster Arrow. He submitted again. Tang Shidao was stunned when he saw the button that said "Go to the next floor."
No reward?
He had tried his best. Why was it not recognized?
With his current level of skill, there was no reason for the improved Cluster Arrow to be imperfect.
Why?
Tang Shidao pulled back the Cluster Arrow, carefully dismantled it, reassembled it, and looked for a way to improve it again. The result was still a success, but there was no reward. He dismantled it again and again, dismantled it again, and again … Another half a month passed. Tang Shidao was confident that it was a perfect product. There was no better Cluster Arrow with the materials he had.
However, there was still no reward.
"Something must be wrong." Tang Shidao did not believe that the Evil Eye was such a stingy person. This was only the second level. There was no reason for it not to pay the price.
He continued to work hard. There was no way to improve the Cluster Arrow. Tang Shidao tried to familiarize himself with the skill, but the primordial black flame completely stopped.
Affected by his mood, he could not make any progress.
He flipped through the handbook left behind. There was no record in it.
Looking at the button to go to the next floor, Tang Shidao was not convinced. At this moment, he had an impulse. He would rather not have the reward. He just could not lose. He turned his head and ignored the button. Suddenly, a fragment in the pile of bones caught Tang Shidao's attention.
"Repeating crossbow!"
Seeing the crafting mechanism, Tang Shidao was shocked. Black flames surged out of his body. In the blink of an eye, he was ignited by the black flames.
After a while, a few wisps of black flames flowed like water and gathered in Tang Shidao's palm, forming a black flame ball.
The first stage of cultivating the primordial black flame: Body Strengthening.
He had already done that.
Now it was the second stage: Flame Control.
"This is not a spell, haha …" Tang Shidao knew that he had not broken through the restrictions of the Land of Forbidden Magic. The current "flame ball" was the manifestation of his bloodline power. It was the innate power of the Dark Golden Crow. He closed his eyes and looked inside himself. As expected, the first black sun in the seal had become brighter.
He did not have time to cultivate.
Tang Shidao immediately picked up the hammer and began to forge the most suitable repeating crossbow for the Cluster Arrow.
The "qualified" Cluster Arrow of the Night.
If he wanted to get the reward, he could not just rely on the Cluster Arrow. The sun was on the left, and the shadow was on the right. The arrow and the bow were one. If he wanted to perfectly realize "Night Arrow of the Night," the most suitable super repeating crossbow was the hidden answer.
Five days later.
He submitted the repeating crossbow for the Cluster Arrow, and the conveyor belt was activated again.
He won the Mana Sealing Bottle that had 10 points of magic power. There were no surprises. He opened the Mana Sealing Bottle and obtained a spell called Reinforced Iron Bones. Tang Shidao was surprised. Reinforced Iron Bones was not a regular spell. It was a derivative spell of Reinforced Iron Skin.
Wasn't Evil Eye only a refiner and not a strong fighter with a good physique?
It actually derived a defensive spell like Reinforced Iron Bones?
He thought about it again.
Evil Eye had already taken a derivative spell as the prize, so it was obvious that he was dead.
It did not matter.
After Tang Shidao finished harvesting, he immediately activated the power of the primordial black flame. Now that he had reached the second stage, his physical fitness had taken another leap. If he was comparable to Tiger Shadow before, he was probably at the tenth stop, but now he was more than at the twentieth stop. With the ability to control the black flame, his combat power might be multiplied several times. Now, his physique alone was at the level of the twentieth stop.
The Yuanzu Tree Spear had also changed.
The Land of Forbidden Magic made it lose the green light of magic power. Now, traces of black and green light seeped out. Although it was not very strong, it could already control this new power like its master, Tang Shidao.
Next, the third stage.
The materials given out were all animal skins.
