"What is this?"
Jiang Lai picked up the crossbow on the table, raised the bow stock, closed one eye to aim the arrow at the distant target, and placed his forefinger on the trigger.
A sharp and short "whoosh" sound was heard, as a sharp wooden arrow swiftly flew out and effortlessly penetrated the five-centimeter thick wooden target under everyone's watchful gaze.
Everyone was wide-eyed with shock, staring at the terrifying weapon in Jiang Lai's hands.
Ayuan recognized it at a glance.
"This is the weapon you used the day you saved us."
"This is called a crossbow, a weapon that shoots arrows using the bow arm and bowstring."
The beastmen had long mastered the making and use of bows and arrows, but those were simple bows that relied on momentary bursts of strength, limiting their power significantly.
However, the crossbow was different, it was easier to operate, more powerful, and once was the most formidable weapon of the cold weapon era.
