[Grandpa! 】

The heavy snow that fluttered in the sky perfectly covered all traces of biological activity, the knife-like cold wind rolled up clumps of snowflakes on the ground, the whistling wind was like the roar of a wild beast, and a little orange was moving forward step by step in this icy snow that could not be resisted by manpower, and the immature face had a very anxious expression.

[Grandpa! Are you here? 】

The young cat demon girl has been searching in the snow and ice all day, and the cold in this weather is constantly consuming her physical strength and calories, if it weren't for the physical talent of the demon clan, I'm afraid she would have fallen long ago.

[Grandpa, you answer me! Tachibana is coming for you! 】

The long and harsh winter is an unavoidable test in their lives for the demon clan, born on this continent is destined to learn to fight against nature, the already barren land of the demon state every winter, there are many small villages in order to survive have to take the risk of forming a team to go hunting, in order to ensure the survival rate of the team, this team is generally composed of the most skilled old hunters and the strongest young people in the village.

Tachibana's grandfather is the leader of one of the three hunting teams, and when they are chasing a group of wintering snow bears, they want to use a shortcut in the valley to ambush the bears, but the snow bear's cry caused a collapse, and all the hunting team members except for a few young men who were guarding the entrance of the valley were buried in the valley by the avalanche.

After two days, the surviving team members brought the news back to the village, but unfortunately it happened to be heard by Tachibana first, and Tachibana, who had been dependent on his grandfather since he was a child, walked home quietly, and then ran out quietly before the village chief made a move.

Following the direction described by the team, Tachibana walked forward firmly, although the valley was far away from the village, but it was not unfamiliar to Tachibana, because that valley was discovered by Tachibana during a summer outing, the valley is located near the Star Mountains bordering the Demon Clan and the East Country, hidden behind a hill, the mountain is short and small, and there are almost no monsters to survive, so it is rarely visited by hunters, so the valley has not been discovered.

[It's all the fault of the orange, I didn't tell my grandfather the location of the valley at that time......]

Tachibana thinks that the reason why his grandfather, who is an old hunter, chose to lead the team into the valley is because he once told the old man about the valley, and it was his own misguidance that harmed the old man.

The knife-like cold wind kept stinging Tachibana's cheeks, and just as she was about to reach the valley, she suddenly heard a strange sound behind her, and the keen Tachibana turned around and took out her bow and arrow, and shot it in the direction of the sound, and the strange thing was that it was obviously a cold winter with a stiff finger, but Tachibana felt a trace of warmth at the moment of shooting.

The stiff fingers diverted Tachibana's attack, but it forced the thing behind him to reveal itself, a clawed, two-legged monster that looked more than two meters tall, its sharp teeth and claws highlighting its danger.

The monster stared at Tachibana, its wide paws creaking on the snow.

This sound woke Tachibana, and she immediately drew her bow and arrow at the monster that was rushing towards her, and the straight arrow was quickly dodged by the monster, and the monster quickly circled in front of Tachibana after several consecutive sprints.

At this moment, without warning and without any basis, a thought flashed through Tachibana's mind.

(Other shooting techniques must be used here, otherwise you won't be able to hit the enemy.) ）

Without thinking about where he had learned these shooting skills, Tachibana fired a series of arrows with a strong sense of disobedience, and the continuous attacks brought a lot of load to Tachibana's fingers, but this series of attacks was always one step behind, and the arrows failed to hit the monster behind him.

The body instinctively shot four more arrows after the beaded arrows, and these four arrows collided in pairs and changed direction in the air, locking on to the monster.

The moment the arrow was shot, Tachibana had a vague feeling, she knew that the other party had nowhere to escape, and it was clear that the arrow had not yet hit her, but it seemed that she saw the picture of a monster falling under her arrow.

But it was this kind of self-confidence that hurt her, and the arrow that was supposed to hit was hit by the object that spit out of the monster's mouth and went off track, and then the next second, the sky and the earth suddenly turned upside down in front of her eyes, and her back hit the ground, making her feel suffocated, and at the same time robbing her ability to resist.

——————————

Squeak –

The sound of the snow under Reyncar's feet as a step on it was like a battle horn that began the two of them to act at the same time.

As soon as Tangerine's finger loosened, the powerful flame arrow shot straight at Reyncar, who was moving at high speed, and the direction of the arrow was the path that Reenkar rushed to Tangerine, in order not to be hit by the powerful arrow, Renkar could only choose to abandon this shortest path, and rushed sideways to another piece of snow.

[It's too slow! 】

Renkar easily dodged the arrow, although the power of the arrow is very great, but it is meaningless to hit him, the current orange orange in shooting skills are not as good as when he was awake during the day, after a few easy moves, Rencarr went around to a distance of less than ten meters from the orange.

This distance has barely reached the edge of Rencar's ability to touch Tangerine in one sprint, as long as he dodges the next Tangerine attack, Rencar's ability to subdue Tangerine, Rencar's action that has been shooting mechanically when Rencarr is planning the path of the next sprint, suddenly changed, and her fingers caught two arrows at the same time.

【Lianzhu! 】

Renkar immediately realized that Tangerine's next attack was a series of arrows that immediately rolled to the other side, and the violent explosion followed his footsteps and exploded continuously, and Tangerine, who was about to stop shooting an arrow, suddenly became a tireless turret, and the flames of the explosion swept through Reincar's clothes from time to time to leave traces.

After dodging several attacks in a row, before Reyncarr could catch his breath, Tangerine's attack changed again, and four arrows flew at him from different directions at the same time, completely blocking his possibility of moving to both sides. With nowhere to hide, Reyncarr had no choice but to take a risk.

【Hunting Horizon!】 】

The pupils of the beast suddenly shrank, and the whole world faded in an instant, everything in Reyncar's eyes suddenly slowed down, and the arrows that were originally instantaneous also slowed down, this special vision only lasted for a short second, but in this second, Reyncarr had found the optimal solution to the situation in front of him.

Two small throwing knives appeared in his hands at some point, and with a flick of his wrist, the flying knives slashed through the air and hit the orange elemental arrows from the side, and the clever force and excellent angle successfully deflected the two arrows on both sides without detonating the arrows.

Puff –

In the next moment, Renkar's figure appeared behind Tangerine, grabbing the bow and arrow in Tangerine's hand with one hand, Renkar threw Tangerine on the snow, and Tangerine, whose hands were cut backwards, naturally let go of the bow and arrow in his hand, allowing the bow and arrow to fall on the snow.

[Whew-]

With a long breath, Reyncarr quickly reverted back to his human form and sat in place, panting for breath.
