Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Chapter 382 The Last Way to Survive

On the top of the mountain, Hu Laojiu held a bow and arrow and took a deep breath to calm himself.

Above his head, a falcon was circling high in the sky, but Hu Laojiu didn't even look at it.

Hu Laojiu put half a pill in his hand into his mouth and raised his bow and drew his arrow.

As the earthy smell that made him want to vomit and tremble dissipated from his mouth, the fatigue in Hu Laojiu's body quickly subsided.

Steady feet...

Steady hands...

Calm heart...

Hu Laojiu held his breath and concentrated, slowly pulling the bowstring and aiming at the two falcons that were rapidly rising into the sky below.

hum...

The bowstring vibrated, and the first arrow flew out, turning into a very thin black shadow and shooting down the mountain.

Off the track...

The arrow flew almost close to the body of a falcon, startling the two falcons so much that they screamed and flapped their wings to fly high into the sky.

On the top of the mountain, Hu Laojiu raised his longbow slightly, reached for the quiver with his right hand, and quickly shot the arrows in the quiver one after another.

After shooting eight arrows in succession, Hu Laojiu suddenly opened his mouth and resumed breathing.

Looking at the eight thin shadows in the air, Hu Laojiu's eyes were solemn.

The person who taught him archery was an old hunter.

The old man once said that the archery skills that Hu Laojiu was proud of were just proficiency, and were still a long way from being perfect.

Those who are superb in archery can identify the target by listening to the sound and shoot according to the wind. They will never miss a target without exception within the range of the bow's force.

If Lu You heard such words, she would instantly understand that what the old hunter said was exactly the conditions that the special forces snipers had to consider when shooting in 21st century TV dramas.

For example, wind speed, gravity, heart rate, distance, air humidity, and breathing are all parameters that affect shooting accuracy.

Hu Laojiu obviously had not reached this level. He could not determine how much the direction he was aiming would deviate while feeling the mountain wind.

So he needs an arrow!

This exploratory arrow is the first arrow just now.

The aim was on one of the falcons. After the arrow was shot, Hu Laojiu could make reverse adjustments based on the location of the arrow.

The arrow falls, and the bow is raised!

If the arrow misses to the left, aim the bow to the right!

The eight consecutive arrows that followed were because the falcon flapped its wings in the air and its trajectory would not fly straight in one direction.

In order to prevent accidents, Hu Laojiu could only shoot arrows continuously, trying to block the hawks' escape directions as much as possible and shoot them to death before they completely rose into the sky.

As for the eight arrows, it is the limit of the number of arrows that Hu Laojiu can shoot with the full bow while allowing his body to maintain the state of the first arrow.

These eight arrows may seem light, but in fact, except for the left arm that can make adjustments, the feet, legs, waist, back, shoulders and head of the body cannot move at all, and even the mouth cannot be opened to breathe.

Only in this way can we ensure that the arrow shot after the right hand nods the arrow is a correction to the first arrow.

If you move a little, all your efforts will be wasted!

As two screams were heard, one of the falcons was pierced through. Although the other one luckily only had its wings injured, it could only circle downwards and would definitely not be able to take off and track Lu Yi and the others.

Hu Laojiu grinned.

Having stayed in Ningguan for such a long time, spending all day listening to music, drinking, gambling and washing clothes, he thought he had long lost the archery skills that he was so proud of.

It turns out that my abilities are still there.

Twenty or thirty breaths later, Lu Yi and Zhou Shuyi arrived at the top of the mountain riding on black panthers.

"Brother Hu, your archery skills are amazing!" Zhou Shuyi said happily to Hu Laojiu.

"That's right!" Hu Laojiu said with a smile, "You guys should leave quickly, it would be bad if someone catches up with us."

Hearing Hu Laojiu's words, Lu Yi frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

Hu Laojiu pointed at the only falcon still circling above his head.

"This thing has no intelligence. Even if it is trained, it will only stare at one target."

"You two don't have to worry about being caught up now, just go."

"Then shoot it down for him quickly!" Zhou Shuyi said anxiously.

Hu Laojiu looked up and then shook his head slightly: "Although this thing is not human, it is not stupid. I just shot down two of them, and they flew high and I couldn't reach them."

"You guys go down the mountain now and go to the left. I'll lead it to the right and lead the people behind away..."

Hu Laojiu was speaking when he was interrupted by Lu Yi next to him.

"That's too late."

Upon hearing this, Hu Laojiu and Zhou Shuyi followed Lu Yi's gaze and looked towards the opposite mountain, only to see a figure on the ridge of the opposite mountain looking at the three of them from a distance.

Just when the three men saw the man clearly, he stepped on the ground, jumped up and disappeared into the dense forest below, heading in the direction of Lu Yi and the other two.

"He is alone, hurry up..."

As Hu Laojiu was speaking, he saw dozens of figures leaping out from behind the ridge and landing on the ridge.

Those figures were the same as the previous one. They just stopped and looked up at Lu Yi and the other two, then leaped again and approached the forest below.

They are all warriors in the inner strength realm!

"I still have a few arrows here, maybe I can buy you some time."

Hu Laojiu drew his bow and arrow and stood in front of the two men, but Lu Yi reached out and grabbed his arm.

"The night we escaped from the city, you were acting on purpose, and that inner strength warrior was attracted to Wen Chengbo, so you were able to shoot him."

"Now that they know you have a bow and arrow, they will definitely be on guard when they chase you. It is almost impossible for your bow and arrow to pose a threat to them."

"The three of us are all mortals. It is possible for us to plot to kill a warrior in the Outer Strength Realm."

"To face a warrior in the inner strength realm is simply to seek death."

Although Hu Laojiu was unwilling, he also understood that Lu Yi was right.

In desperation, he could only put down his bow and arrow.

"Don't think that badly. The other party came to arrest us just to find out the secret of my second sister."

"They probably won't attack us until they judge that I'm completely useless."

"Perhaps... there is still a possibility of survival."

Hearing Lu Yi's words, Zhou Shuyi gently stood beside Lu Yi and began to tidy up the loose Confucian robe for Lu Yi.

"It's windy, wrap yourself tightly and don't catch a cold."

"Thank you, Sister Shuyi." Lu Yi turned to look at Zhou Shuyi: "You too..."

As he spoke, Lu Yi was slightly stunned, then he turned around abruptly and looked at the woods below the mountain that were swaying like a tide in the mountain wind.

"Follow me now! We can survive!!"

Lu Yi rode on the Black Panther and rushed down the mountain first. Although Zhou Shuyi and Hu Laojiu didn't understand what was going on, they also rode on the Black Panther and followed him.

After a dozen breaths, a silver mask leaped to the top of the mountain.

But just when he was about to chase after it, he saw that the dense forest below was rapidly burning in thick smoke.

The fire spread rapidly with the help of the wind. In just a short period of time, half of the mountain under my feet was completely engulfed in flames, completely blocking the way down the mountain.

"What a cruel boy!"

"This character alone is enough to make the young master value me."

Dozens of figures fell behind the silver mask. Seeing the fire below, they were all a little at a loss.

The silver mask waved slightly.

"Go around and keep chasing!"
