Chapter 618. Mystery Island Appears Again
While Queen was looking away, Han Sen summoned the Deadeye Peacock beast soul.
A peacock-like bird appeared in front of Han Sen, flapping its wings. It was roughly two feet long.
Looking closer, he realized that it wasn't a living creature, but a blue-colored metal crossbow. It was shaped to resemble a peacock, with its wings composing the bow of the weapon. With the body as its stock, the mouth of the peacock was where the tips of the bolts were lodged, and the top of the head itself was the sightline with which its user would aim. It was a beautiful piece of equipment.
The elastic string of the crossbow was unusual, however. It was like a beam of translucent hardlight, fixed between the ends of the wings. Han Sen could command for bolts to be nocked and drawn with his mind, and he only had to pull on the lock to loose them.
Han Sen looked inside its accompanying quiver and saw that there was enough space for eight bolts to be stored. This was a fine amount, particularly for a weapon that could be used as efficiently as a pistol.
If he used beast soul bolts, he'd have an infinite supply of ammo, too – provided the bolts weren't broken.
Han Sen examined the peacock crossbow with an open jaw. It was a remarkable weapon to have in his possession, but without the appropriate bolts, it was little more than a sturdy stick to beat stuff over the head with.
"This is great, but you could at least provide me with some bolts. You didn't even give me a single one. Now I have to go find some myself?" Han Sen didn't know whether he should be happy or sad right now.
The peacock crossbow looked incredibly powerful, but his visual perception was all that he could use to get to know it. He had no way of giving it a proper test run.
