Transmigration begins with archery training

North of Erzhong Mountain.

Chen Sanshi activated his [Tracing and Concealing] skill to its fullest extent, leaving no trace undetected in his eyes.

Rabbits, roe deer, goats...

If he wanted to, he could carry a sheep down the mountain and go home within ten minutes.

But a wild goat weighing a hundred or so pounds can only be sold for two taels of silver.

It would have been fine in the past, but now it's far too little.

The target must be a tiger, or at the very least a bear or a leopard.

Following Zhao Qiao's advice, Chen Sanshi headed southwest.

Along the way, he would occasionally encounter martial arts school disciples dressed in brocade robes.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Chen Sanshi wore a cloth armor when he went up the mountain this time.

When the martial arts disciples saw his armor and heavy bow, they didn't dare to cause trouble. They mostly just glanced at him and then went about their business.

"Why are there so many people?"

Chen Sanshi walked five miles and encountered at least a dozen people.

Even if they were hunting, they shouldn't be appearing in such large numbers.

Moreover, many people didn't even have bows and arrows; they were just wandering around with knives or swords, looking like they were searching for something.

The Witch God Cult?

It's not like that either.

Because this group of people looked very relaxed, and judging from their clothes, most of them were disciples of the Tai Lei Martial Arts School.

Chen Sanshi took note of it.

A gust of wind blew by, and his exceptional hearing allowed him to clearly hear the conversation between the martial arts school disciples.

"White Deer!"

"The owner is injured. Whoever finds the white deer will be rewarded with the entire business!"

"It's tough! I heard that white deer like to eat medicinal herbs, and the names of those herbs alone cost more than ten taels of silver."

"..."

Chen Sanshi figured out the whole story.

On the night Qin Feng died, a battle broke out in the city.

When Xiang Tingchun and the three martial arts school masters were arresting the barbarian assassins, they encountered the Witch God Cult. Master Tai Lei was seriously injured and needed a strange beast, the white deer, to heal him, so he set a bounty.

Regardless of their rank, as long as they could present a white deer, they would be immediately accepted as core disciples and given the opportunity to manage a portion of the business in the future. That's why they all rushed to the mountains like they were on steroids.

Chen Sanshi memorized the characteristics of the strange beast and continued on his way.

Talley Martial Arts School...

I didn't see Zhang Chao and the other two.

Otherwise, he would shoot two arrows, one from the high ground and one from the low ground.

After walking for another ten miles or so, we arrived at the mountainside.

Beside the winding, narrow path stood two martial arts disciples carrying bows on their backs. One of them carried a bow that appeared to be of seven strength, which was already considered illegal.

They carried iron swords, looking ahead hesitantly, unwilling to move forward.

Chen Sanshi ignored the two of them.

"Hey!"

The martial arts school disciple stopped him: "You still dare to go forward? There's a giant tiger in that peak ahead!"

"I know."

Chen Sanshi gave perfunctory replies, showing no intention of stopping.

"Then why are you still going? Aren't you afraid of dying?"

The martial arts disciple noticed the large bow behind the newcomer and his eyes lit up. He looked at the person carrying the forbidden Seven-Force Bow beside him, and after receiving consent, he said, "How about we cooperate? My senior brother Wei beside me is a master of Blood Refinement at the Lesser Completion stage!"

There is a tiger on this peak; they discovered it in the last few days.

Unfortunately, the imperial court prohibited heavy bows, and their cultivation was limited, so they were simply not someone to be trifled with under normal circumstances.

Wei Xu risked obtaining the Seven-Force Bow, but he wasn't very confident he could take down the tiger. If they came into close contact, even a Blood Cultivation Warrior couldn't withstand the tiger's killing power.

To encounter a soldier carrying a two-stone bow was a pleasant surprise.

"This brother."

Wei Xu said confidently, "I've already mastered the minor stage of Blood Refinement. If we work together, taking down the giant worm will be a piece of cake. After it's done, we'll split the profits 40/60, I get 60% and you get 40%, how about that?"

Chen Sanshi frowned as he listened, too lazy to pay any more attention, and quickened his pace.

"?"

Wei Xu was taken aback, clearly not expecting to be ignored: "Arrogant!"

"Senior Brother Wei, what should we do if he's unwilling to cooperate?" the junior brother asked.

"I saw that tiger from afar once; it was incredibly powerful. Where does he get his confidence?"

Wei Xu said angrily, "Let's follow him and see. Maybe he'll get eaten by a tiger, and we can pick up the scraps from behind."

……

"This big tiger has been targeted by someone else. If I had come two days later, it might have been gone."

Chen Sanshi squatted on the ground, picked up a handful of soil, and found two stiff, orange-yellow hairs in it, followed by claw marks, buried feces, and dried bloodstains in the grass.

He knew this process by heart.

Like a line, he followed it and found a hidden cave halfway up the mountain.

The cave is about five meters in diameter and is hidden by dense grass and foliage, making it easy to miss if you don't look carefully.

About twenty feet outside the cave, in the bushes, one could vaguely see rotting clothes and bare bones, indicating that the person had been dead for some time.

"Nine times out of ten, the big insect lives inside."

Of course, Chen Sanshi wouldn't be foolish enough to go in voluntarily.

In the confined space, the advantages of bows and arrows and spears are rendered useless; we need to find a way to lure the giant insect out.

"call out--"

Chen Sanshi suddenly turned around and fired an arrow.

A hundred paces away, a roe deer leaping by was precisely grazed by an arrow, leaving a bloody mark.

"hiss--"

The silly roe deer let out a piercing scream.

"call out--"

Another arrow struck its feet.

The roe deer was terrified and fled in panic toward the cave.

Chen Sanshi deliberately did not kill him.

His experience hunting black bears taught him that dead bait might not be able to attract prey.

But it's different for those who are alive.

Especially for ferocious beasts like tigers, their territorial instincts are extremely strong, and they will not tolerate any offense.

A creature reeking of blood running rampant in its territory will certainly not be tolerated by the giant insect.

Chen Sanshi climbed a tree to take up a high point, and then kept using arrows to prevent the roe deer from leaving the vicinity, forcing it to stay around the cave, its wounds bleeding everywhere as it ran wildly.

The process lasted a full five minutes, and the huge noise frightened the birds in the forest, leaving only a deathly silence in the dark cave.

"It doesn't work? That shouldn't be the case. Tigers are ferocious and murderous; they usually don't hide."

Just as Chen Shan was about to think of other methods, a cold wind blew through the mountains.

The wind follows the tiger, and the cloud follows the dragon.

coming!

A black shadow, as strong as a mountain and as agile as a leopard, rushed out of the silent cave. In the blink of an eye, it pounced on the roe deer and bit down on its carotid artery with its sharp fangs.

After struggling weakly for a few moments, the roe deer became lifeless.

What a magnificent king of the mountains!

Chen Sanshi stared intently.

The tiger was over ten feet long and weighed at least seven or eight hundred pounds. Its golden fur shone brightly in the sunlight. Its sharp claws, like swords, were covered in blood. Its orange-yellow pupils gleamed with ferocity. It let out a long roar that shook the surrounding area for miles.

No wonder ordinary people would be terrified if they saw it.

After hunting the roe deer, the tiger didn't rush to eat, clearly not hungry, and only came out because it found the noise bothersome.

It had its prey in its jaws and wanted to drag it back to the cave.

Just then, Chen Sanshi drew his two-stone bow to its fullest extent, like a full moon, and a wolf-tooth arrow whistled out.

"boom--"

The arrow collided with the tiger's skull, producing a dull thud. It was eventually jammed, piercing the skull but failing to fatally damage the brainstem!

This tiger looks like it might be approaching a mythical beast!

"Roar--"

The worm, in pain, roared and broke the arrow shaft off its forehead with a single claw, then pounced towards the attacker's location, accompanied by gusts of wind.
