Under the four city walls, several improvised shooting ranges were temporarily erected, and only those who could hit the target within a hundred steps were eligible to climb the city walls and assist in defending the city.

After all, steel arrows are consumables, and when the monster beast is attacking the city, it is difficult to recover it again, and it is necessary to have enough accurate archery skills to cause maximum damage.

The weight of the Demon Crossbow is nearly 100 catties, which is obviously a heavy burden for ordinary mortals, and it is basically impossible to aim and shoot arrows with a flat lift, so the tests are replaced by ordinary bows and crossbows.

As long as the accuracy is enough, you can use the city wall as a support, which will not be so laborious and can be used.

Shi Lan was on the edge of the shooting range, bringing the people who met the requirements to the city wall, and because she was a little angry with the mask, she simply took off the helmet and put it on the top of the city wall.

The man in front of the shooting range was a black-faced man in his sixties, the old man was tall and strong, especially the muscles of his right arm, which were obviously thicker than his left arm, and there were thick calluses on the tiger's mouth, thumb and tail fingers.

The old man took an ironwood bow and arrows handed by the demon sergeant on the side, held the bow in his left hand, took a deep breath, and opened the bow with an arrow with a very fast movement, the muscles of his right arm were bulging, his back was straight, and the bow was full moon.

The old man looked at the arrow target in the distance, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and after a breath, he released the bowstring without hesitation.

"Whoa—"

"Poof!"

The arrow hit the bull's-eye, sinking nearly halfway into the grass target, and the wings at the tail trembled slightly, and it took a while to subside.

The old man's eyes flashed with a hint of self-satisfaction, and he returned the ironwood bow to the demon suppressant on the side, glanced at the shooting range, and saw Shi Lan walking towards him, his eyes lit up.

"Jun Housheng, can you take the crossbow on your back and let me try it?"

Ordinary demon suppression soldiers felt that the demon crossbow was heavy and in the way, so they all put it on the city wall.

With Shi Lan's strength of more than 1,000 catties now, she didn't feel any inconvenience with nearly 100 catties more on her body, and the weight of the demon crossbow could make her feel more at ease, so she took it behind her and didn't take it off.

Shi Lan glanced at the demon crossbow behind him, and then at the old man.

"Uncle, this crossbow is very heavy."

"I'll see." The old man rubbed his hands, he had never tried this half-human-high giant crossbow.

Shi Lan saw the performance of the old man just now, and at a glance, he knew that he was a person who had been in contact with the bow and crossbow all the year round, and it was normal to be happy when he saw the hunt for a while.

Anyway, sooner or later, this old man will come into contact with the Demon Breaking Crossbow, Shi Lan didn't twist it much, directly untied the Demon Breaking Crossbow, handed it to the old man, and reminded him again: "Be careful." ”

The old man took the demon crossbow with a happy expression, his waist sank, he stumbled under his feet, he almost didn't stand firm, his face was slightly red, and his hands trembled slightly.

"Uncle, are you alright?" Shi Lan said that he was about to step forward and get back the Demon Breaking Crossbow.

"It's okay, it's okay, I just didn't pay attention just now." The old man smiled awkwardly, stabilized his figure, exerted force with his right arm, and lifted the demon crossbow.

"Jun Housheng, give me an arrow, let me try!" The old man didn't pull the crossbow string, but handed the demon breaking crossbow back to Shi Lan's hand, he knew that this string was definitely not something he could open.

Shi Lan did not refuse, took out a stainless steel arrow, opened a crossbow arrow, and handed it back to the old man.

The old man raised the crossbow again, and this time his hand did not tremble at all, and it was as steady as a rock.

"Bang-"

Under the hanging knife, the steel arrow came out of the string, penetrated the bull's-eye, and nailed to the city wall.

After the arrow left the string, the old man's hand trembled again, Shi Lan shook his head slightly, and directly retrieved the demon crossbow, "Uncle, follow me to the city wall." ”

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled at Shi Lan, "It's not okay to be old, I think when I was young, I could shoot a bucket of arrows with three stone bows." ”

Hearing this, Shi Lan glanced at the old man with some surprise, the three-stone bow requires three hundred catties of strength to pull it apart, there are at least more than ten arrows in a bucket, and the bow is fired more than ten times in a row, this kind of strength can be said to be far beyond ordinary people.

Noticing Shi Lan's gaze, the old man thought that Shi Lan didn't believe it, patted his chest, and said, "In the early years, I went into the mountains, hunted a big worm, and changed the coil for my son!" ”

Shi Lan smiled and nodded, "Old and strong." ”

Ordinary mortals, when they reach the age of the sixtieth birthday, their qi and blood have long been decayed, and there are few people who are vigorous in their movements, and it is even rarer to be able to open a bow and lift a crossbow like an old man.

The old man followed behind Shi Lan and walked towards the city wall, and as he walked, the old man began to talk to Shi Lan, looking very talkative.

After a period of small talk, Shi Lan had a general understanding of the old man, this old man's name is Liu Ping, he is an old hunter, widowed in his early years, and has an only son under his knees, named Liu Ziming, who has been away from Shuangyue City to learn martial arts for nearly seven years.

Speaking of Liu Ziming, a touch of pride appeared on Liu Ping's face, "Ziming's child, he followed me into the mountain at the age of eight, and he could open a two-stone strong bow at the age of twelve, and everyone said that he was the material for martial arts!" ”

As he spoke, Liu Ping's expression darkened a little, he was over the age of six, his only son went out to travel, and he did not return for seven years, only occasionally wrote back, and sometimes he inevitably felt cold under his knees.

After being silent for a while, Liu Ping came back to his senses and asked with some curiosity: "You look so handsome and capable, you must have already married a wife and started a family, and have children?" ”

Shi Lan was stunned for a moment, then shook her head with some amusement, "I haven't married yet." ”

How can she marry and have children now?

Liu Ping was a little surprised and said: "I see that you are not young anymore, and the children in this Shuangyue City are about the same age as you, and the children are running all over the streets." ”

Shi Lan didn't speak again, and walked silently to the city wall.

Liu Ping thought that Shi Lan was embarrassed, and said again:

"This is a big deal, it can't be delayed, I think I was too late to get married, and the children who are the same generation as Ziming are almost fifty now, do you have a favorite girl? I didn't look for a few for you, there are still a lot of good girls in this Twin Moon City. ”

Shi Lan felt a burst of crying and laughing, and shook her head to refuse Liu Ping's kindness.

"Also, you look so good, and you have the ability, don't worry about finding a good girl, and I don't know Ziming's child, now there is a girl in the picture, and he is not young......"

Speaking of the back, Liu Ping's voice gradually lowered.

The two of them soon came to the top of the city wall, and the smoke in the distance seemed to be a little closer.

"I heard from City Lord Nie that the big guy who flew on the sky two days ago will come back soon and pick up all the people in the city, do you know how long you will be leaving Shuangyue City?"

Shi Lan looked stunned, "Nie City Lord... Is that what you say? ”

"Yes, you said that you would leave then, in case Ziming came back at this time and couldn't find me, what should I do?"

Shi Lan raised his eyes and looked at the billowing smoke and dust in the distance, and said in a long tone: "Maybe...... This turmoil will soon pass, and there will be no need to leave Two Moon City then. ”
