Chapter 20: The Return of the Caracal
It turned out that when the wildebeest was jumping, Lin Tianyu noticed that a male lion was lying in the grass farther away, so he immediately changed his goal.
The pheasant fluttered swiftly into a patch of grass, and luckily escaped, while the unfortunate lion was struck by a fatal arrow, and sometimes the world is like this, always so unexpected.
The galloping horse successfully crossed the boulder and landed on the ground.
The strong momentum made it have to run forward a little longer to counteract the momentum of the previous gallop.
The wildebeest gasped slightly, proving how much effort it had expended in the gallop it had just done.
Not caring about the dying male lion not far away, Lin Tianyu caressed the horse's thick neck lovingly as a sign of encouragement.
Lin Tianyu's stroke obviously made the wildebeest extremely useful, and it snorted a few times quite comfortably.
……
"Thirty prey, twenty-one shots, that is to say, four rounds of long-range shots, less than three-quarters of the hits."
Lin Tianyu silently calculated.
Lian Zhu's long-range shot has a hit rate of about 6 out of 10, which seems to be a very low hit rate, but if you think about the difficulty of it, anyone who knows how to bow and arrow will instantly gasp.
But Lin Tianyu didn't feel anything at all. Stretching, he decided to go back to the city.
For Lin Tianyu, coming out to hunt is just to relax, to practice archery skills, not to make money, and it doesn't matter how much prey he can shoot, he doesn't care at all.
Kerst Town Import and Exit.
At this time, two guards were listlessly guarding the entrance and exit of the town, and it was certainly idle for them to be arranged here, but it was too boring for them to fall asleep.
Although the small town of Kerster is much more prosperous than most small towns, it has never been as good as the big cities, so most of the people who come and go here every day are familiar faces, and there is really nothing to watch.
Fortunately, the guards here have two shifts a day, morning and evening, and each guard can only take their turn about once a month, otherwise no one can stand like this every day.
You must know that there is not even a place to sit here, and even if there is, they dare not sit, in case their captain finds out, then they are finished, so they often rest against the stone wall on the side.
"Dada! Dada! ……”
The crisp sound of horses' hooves sounded from far and near.
Under the puzzled gaze of one of the guards, a man and a rider slowly approached from a distance.
Looking at the handsome figure beside the wildebeest, the expression on the guard's face was first stunned, then ecstatic, and he turned and shook his hand vigorously, leaning against the stone wall to beat his dozing companion.
"Look, look! Instructor Lin Tianyu is back! ”
The companion next to him rubbed his sleepy eyes and muttered, "Who's ......?"
"It's Instructor Lin Tianyu! That marksman! ”
The guard stared into the distance with excitement on his face, and the handsome figure who was leading the horse beside him and approaching the town turned his head to look at his companion in front of him, and emphasized in an excited tone.
"Don't bother me if anyone comes......"
The companion impatiently opened his hand, and the guard shook his hand, leaning against the stone wall, ready to continue resting.
But then, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were full of consternation.
Like the guards, he quickly cast his gaze into the distance, looking at the handsome figure leading a wildebeest.
"It's really Instructor Lin Tianyu......"
He muttered with a blank look on his face.
For the residents of Kerster Town, Instructor Lin Tianyu has long been a celebrity who has attracted much attention.
No one has seen the hunting of demonic beasts with their own eyes, but the fruits he brought back after his daily hunting are clear to everyone.
Every day, Instructor Lin Tianyu would carry back the prey he had obtained from hunting in the wild on horseback, and then distribute the excess prey to everyone in the small town of Kerster without hesitation.
This move made Lin Tianyu naturally and quickly win the popularity of almost all the townspeople in Kerster Town, which is also the reason why Lin Tianyu's reputation as an instructor or marksman spread so quickly in the town.
And what made these guards even more enthusiastic about discussing was the prey that Lin Tianyu brought back every day.
Every day, Lin Tianyu brought back different prey, sometimes a wild goat, sometimes a deer, and even the guards on duty boasted in front of other guards who had not seen the marksman, who had seen the marksman carrying a dead adult cheetah on his horse.
It is indeed a cheetah with extremely strong attack power and the fastest speed on the plains.
The townspeople worship Lin Tianyu the sharpshooter because he is kind and gives food to others, while the guards worship Lin Tianyu because of his strength.
Only people like them who are accompanied by knives, guns, bows and arrows will understand how difficult it is to harvest food in the wild, let alone hunt prey every day, and there are so many of them that they can even hunt an adult cheetah while hunting.
Even after they get old, this kind of thing is enough to become a capital that can be bragged about for a lifetime in front of future generations.
But in front of the marksman, it has become as easy as daily life.
How can this not be worshipped by them?
"However, why did Instructor Lin Tianyu lead the horse instead of sitting on it? Moreover, he seems to be carrying something on his back......"
Looking at the faint shadow in the distance, the guard muttered.
"Guess what the marksman will bring back this time?"
The other guard asked his companion as he stared excitedly at the figure leading the wildebeest.
"I think maybe it's a deer, and there have been a lot of deer in the wild lately."
The companion also stared at the figure tightly, as if he was afraid of missing any detail, and replied casually without looking back.
"I think it's a wolf, or a cheetah!"
The guard guessed excitedly.
When his companion heard this, he gave him a strange look.
"Hey, are you crazy? Is the cheetah so easy to encounter? Even if it was Instructor Lin Tianyu, it would be impossible for him to hunt another leopard so soon......"
The guard replied dissatisfiedly, "I believe that the archer-sama will prove you wrong." ”
However, when Lin Tianyu really approached, they were still shocked and opened their mouths.
On the back of the wildebeest led by Lin Tianyu, all kinds of prey were carried like a hill.
This was not the most surprising to them, what really made them almost forget to think about it was what the delicate man was fighting on his shoulders.
The two guards were dumbfounded, and after a long while, their voices trembled and said, "Lion, it's actually an adult male lion......"
I saw an adult male lion that made people shudder to see it, and at this time it was being resisted by Lin Tianyu's leisurely shoulder, from its strong and strong muscles, as well as sharp claws, it was enough to see that when it was alive, it must be a fierce beast on the plains.
But now, it can only be held on the shoulders of the archers, waiting for an unknown fate.
No wonder the marksman had to lead the horse this time, this prey beyond everyone's imagination was so heavy that even a wildebeest with a super load-bearing capacity could not carry the prey while letting its owner ride on its back, which would exceed the limit of what it could bear.
"Da, da, da......"
The sound of horses' hooves slowed and stopped in their ears, and their vision became clearer.
The guard raised his head and looked at the handsome figure in front of him, and his voice was a little excited: "Instructor Lin Tianyu!" ”
