Chapter Ninety-Four: Shooting Stars?

As a result, in the end, Emerald and Xingyue exchanged mounts, Emerald rode Ikatris's mount, Xingyue rode Jade's mount, and the four of them left Chushan City, at first they considered renting a car for the Wild Running Beast to pull and hurry, but there were no special models in the Early Mountain City that could be used by the Wild Running Beast, and the four of them could only plan to go to the next city to have a look.

Before leaving, they also passed by the Qingquan Pavilion once, which had already been empty, and the matter had progressed to this point, Liu Xianyu could basically determine that the owner of the Qingquan Pavilion called Qin Key had an inseparable relationship with those so-called people who peeked into the seclusion

[I won't pass through any cities for the next three days, and I'll teach you some knowledge on the way, but you need to determine the direction of your future advancement, whether you want to strengthen your ranged abilities or be good at melee combat. 】

[Tachibana doesn't need melee combat, there are Brother Xianyu and Theris, and Tachibana likes bows and arrows. 】

Tachibana sat on top of the Rund, holding her bow and arrows.

[In this case, strengthen your long-range combat ability first, since you like bows and arrows, let's start from this aspect, first I want to tell you a little about the archer profession. 】

Xingyue was talking to Tachibana as she hurried.

[The archer's main attack method is the bow and arrow, and a small number of shooters who have reached the elemental affinity level can infuse the elements into the arrows to give the arrows special abilities, which is also the only way to increase their own damage in the initial archer class. 】

[The Archer as a team's ranged strike unit is far inferior to the Mage's in terms of power, even elemental archers are at this point, as the enemy's strength increases, the power of the feathered arrow can no longer meet the needs of the archer, so for most ranged shooters, their main way to increase their attack power is to rely on replacing the arrow with enchantment and the bow with special abilities. 】

[But the shooter who relies solely on weapons is worthless, and with the walking of the career system, we also have our own special fighting methods and various special shooting skills.] One of the most landmark systems is the inscription, a special technique invented by a Terran hero 300 years ago. I'm going to show you now. 】

Xingyue picked up her bow from the Running Beast's back, an alloy bow made of unknown metal with simple stripes carved into it. She pointed to a large tree in the distance, almost two hundred meters away.

[Can you shoot so far?] 】

Liu Xianyu knew that the maximum range of Tangerine was about 100 meters, and the arm strength of Tangerine beyond that distance could not guarantee the hit rate of the bow and arrow, Liu Xianyu himself had used bows and arrows, in fact, most bows and arrows of average quality beyond fifty meters could not cause fatal damage to people.

He also knew that archers had many special skills, but no one had taught him systematically, so Liu Xianyu also listened to her teaching to Tangerine all the time following Xingyue.

[Sniper! 】

A flash of light shot out of the bow, and in the next moment the feathered arrow was firmly rooted in the tree.

【Oh! 】

Tangerine and Liu Xianyu both exclaimed, and several of them drove the wild beast to the bottom of the tree, the wooden arrow shaft sank into the trunk of the tree by a third, and it could be seen that the feather arrow was the most common wooden feather arrow of copper coins, but it was still two hundred meters away and all the arrows were submerged into the trunk.

[This is the effect of the bow?] 】

Liu Xianyu looked at Xingyue curiously and asked.

[No, this bow was made by me in other cities, and it cost a total of 10 silver coins to get it all down.] 】

Ten credits, which is the price of a normal Premium level weapon.

[So this is the effect of what you call the inscription?] 】

[That's right, this is the effect of the inscription, chanting the inscription on the weapon to enhance the effect of your next shot.] 】

[But if that's the case, can't other professions use inscriptions?] 】

Liu Xianyu suddenly thought of this.

[Is it possible to use magic if you know the spell?] 】

Xingyue asked him rhetorically with a smile.

[The use of inscriptions requires a certain foundation in archery, and that magical state is very clear, just like praying for one's own bow and arrow. However, according to the master, the bow and arrow actually have an unknown affinity, and people who do not meet the intimacy level are not able to use the inscription. 】

[It always feels like some people who worship goddesses to achieve some special effects through prayers?] 】

Liu Xianyu remembered that Ikatrisis had told him before that the believers of the Goddess Sect can achieve the effect of enhancing magic through special prayers, that kind of prayer is very magical, and people who do not truly believe in the goddess are useless no matter how seriously they are chanted, and believers with firm beliefs can succeed if they occasionally use it with less recitation.

For example, the two conceptual magics that Ikatrius once used, the spell she recited was a simplified version of the prayer spell, so that she could apply two conceptual magic at this age, who was not particularly talented in magic.

Then the question arises, to whom do the archers sing? Liu Xianyu doesn't remember that there is such a god in the world that this god can count with both hands. He told Xingyue what he thought.

[No one knows why this inscription works.] Some people believe that the object of the inscription is the goddess of creation, some believe that the object of the inscription is the god of war, and a small number of people believe that the object of the inscription is the hero of the human race. 】

[Doesn't that mean that humans can also become gods?] 】

Liu Xianyu said in surprise.

[It's just speculation.] 】

[Anyway, don't interrupt! ] I'm teaching oranges, not you. 】

Xingyue looked at Liu Xianyu with some dissatisfaction.

[I'm sorry, I'm sorry. 】

Liu Xianyu looked at Xingyue's slightly raised eyes, folded his hands and begged for mercy.

Xingyue turned her head to look at Tangerine:

[Next, I will tell you all these inscriptions, it doesn't matter if you use the lingua franca or the demon clan's own language, you can even recite it silently in your heart, try to read it before every shot, and you will naturally understand it when you succeed. 】

Tachibana touched the short bow in his hand and nodded.

[The first is to increase the range - "Help me and I will be hit."] "The second is to increase the power - "Strike all things instantaneously." "Although it is only a short ten words, these ten words are enough for the shooter to last a lifetime, so you must study it carefully, and after that, it is said that the more advanced shooters have also changed other inscriptions according to the basis of these two sentences, but I will not ask you to study it yourself when the time comes. 】

Xingyue's specialization is in dagger melee combat and trap-based predators, and she learned these shooting skills before she met her master, so she doesn't actually have much to give to Tachibana. After saying that, the four of them left the tree and continued on their way.

The day's time disappeared in the middle of the journey, and at night the four of them set up tents in the wilderness, ate a dinner made of jade, and then took turns to keep vigil and sleep.

Liu Xianyu, who was sleeping in the middle of the night, was suddenly woken up, he rubbed his eyes and found that it was Xingyue who was in charge of keeping the second night.

[The situation outside is not right. 】

Xingyue said in a low voice.

Liu Xianyu picked up the long sword in his hand and followed Xingyue out of the tent, outside the jade and orange had already been woken up, and several people stood outside the tent and raised their heads to stare in one direction.

Not far away, the top of a mountain was shining with a dazzling red light, and the dark night sky was illuminated by that light as if it were evening.

[That's ......]

Liu Xianyu remembered the magical beast they had seen two months ago, which was regarded as a totem by the East Country, Chiwu, which was also like this at that time, and half of the sky seemed to be dyed red.

The dazzling red sun began to get darker and darker, and a terrible chirp came from afar, and then the red sun emitted a dazzling light, so that people's eyes could hardly be opened, and then the light began to fade away.

[Did that monster say it was killed?] 】

Liu Xianyu said speculatively.

[No, it can't be, that's a red crow! How could the centuries-old symbol of the country of the East be killed. 】

Emerald opened her mouth in disbelief.

[Wait a minute, look, is there something flying over there?] 】

Xingyue suddenly pointed to the night sky and said.

【Red.】 】

Tachibana also said with his head tilted.

Liu Xianyu looked in the direction the two of them were pointing, and did see a glowing thing flying towards this side at high speed.

[I always feel like it's not a good thing......]

Liu Xianyu, who has been stoned to death by a meteor falling from the sky, has an inexplicable disgust for this kind of thing.

Still, disgusted or not, the thing landed a few dozen meters in front of their camp with unmistakable accuracy.
