523 Journey to the Ancient Tomb (2)

Hestia and Bailong slowly moved to their intended target, which was under the big tree on the side of the mountain road. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 In the process, just as Yukikaze said, the robbers located next to the watchtower did not notice the existence of the two from beginning to end.

The next moment, Hestia and Bailong took off the longbow behind their backs. After taking the arrow, they invariably aimed in the direction of the watchtower.

Frontal assault? No kidding!

If you attack strongly, you will inevitably need to face hand-to-hand combat. Not to mention how much combat power Hestia can exert in close combat, I don't know how many times better long-range shooting is better than close combat.

The enemy this time is not a troll who can't be killed by arrows alone, but a fragile human being who basically has no hope of surviving in this environment as long as the head or other fatal position that occupies more than 10% of the body is actually hit by an arrow.

Therefore, in this case, it is the best solution to directly put a cold arrow sneak attack.

However, before that, or more accurately, when placing the arrow on the longbow, Hestia suddenly noticed a crosshair-like icon similar to a gunplay in his field of vision: "What is this?" ”

"Oh, this is a little enchantment that suddenly came to mind and was added to it." At this time, Yukikaze replied, "Hestia, you haven't touched the bow and arrow much, have you?" If it's less than ten paces, with the bonus of channeling, it's impossible to miss unless you do it on purpose. But what if this distance is increased to more than 100 paces? ”

That's right, the bootstrap is not a panacea, and if the deviation is too large, the role it can play is about zero.

Of course, if you can throw hundreds of guidance spells at an ordinary arrow like Yukikaze, you should pretend that the above sentence has not been said, because that arrow can already be played as an intercontinental level homing missile.

Although if you want to do that, you might as well go home and practice your archery.

Because attaching so many channeling techniques to an ordinary arrow, all the abilities required are almost terrifying to the heaven-defying level.

Well, the Great Magister, the Magic King, and the Law Saint are all trivial, and I'm afraid there are many Dharma gods who can't do this.

"So, I've got a crosshair for you." Xue Feng explained this crosshair a little, "Of course, this is only an approximate crosshair, that is, the direction the arrow is facing. Tracks, wind directions, wind speeds, etc., are not added to it, and if you must say, this is just a standard line. If you want to shoot accurately, you still need to know all aspects of knowledge and practice diligently, especially when it comes to the trajectory of the arrow. ”

And Hestia was even more curious about why this crosshairsman appeared now: "Huh? I didn't ...... before What did this crosshair come about? ”

After all, when dealing with the giant wolf before, Hestia didn't notice the existence of this crosshair. Although he always made others realize that he was natural, Hestia himself was quite confident in his observation and attention to details, as well as in terms of memory.

In this regard, Xue Feng said in a tone that was not the point at all: "Of course, this depends on the fact that you directly helped you add it to your clothes after you missed the arrow." ”

That's right, the arrow that Hestia had killed the giant wolf with one blow before was actually missed.

It's just that because the distance is close enough, and a certain element of luck is added, it leads to the fact that the arrow directly completes the achievement of killing with one hit.

But Hestia felt that it was more important, and sure enough, it was: "Sister Xuefeng, when did you complete this additional function......

Yukikaze didn't answer the question, but Hestia still seemed to hear Yukikaze's contemptuous snort.

Well, Hestia is naturally very clear about this, after all, the unimaginable existence that can complete a series of enchantments with a casual breath, and it is really easy to add enchantments or something to your clothes without realizing it.

Although it was a little off the ground in terms of topic and other aspects, Hestia still sighed and immediately focused his mind on the current battle.

"I'll come first." Because Yukikaze provided a crosshair, Hestia, who already had quite confidence, was about to burst with self-confidence at the moment, "How is it?" ”

Bailong, who has been ignored and forgotten, nodded without objection.

Now, the two were far enough away from the enemy that there was a good chance that Hestia would go undetected if he missed. Even if it is discovered, Bailong is guaranteed to kill two or three people at this distance. And this watchtower is not large, it is estimated that there will be no more than five people at most, and the remaining one or two will naturally not be in any danger.

Therefore, in the case that the risk is equal to nothing, Bailong naturally agreed to Hestia's proposal.

Naturally, Hestia excitedly aimed his arrow, or rather crosshair, at the robber who was resting on the tree by the watchtower, and released the bowstring.

The next moment, the arrow pierced the air under the action of the bowstring, crossed the distance between the two, and hit accurately...... Trunk.

That's right, the arrow still didn't hit the target, the bandit, but the trunk behind the bandit.

This was not due to the Lucky E event caused by some target suddenly bowing its head, but because the excited Hestia forgot to calibrate the trajectory of the bow and arrow.

Arrows are not bullets, and bows and arrows are not firearms.

What's more, if the distance is far enough, the trajectory of the firearm also needs to be remembered and calibrated.

In the face of this scene, although Hestia himself was embarrassed to death, Bailong and Xuefeng said that they were very calm, because this was really normal, or this was normal development.

"At least two hundred paces, the arrow rises, reaching the highest point in fifty steps, about a meter above the standard point. After 200 steps, the arrow is below par. ”

After getting the longbow, Bailong, who had the opportunity to test it, did not laugh at Hestia's idea at this moment, but directly told the rough trajectory of the arrow. (After installing a mod, someone's real condition, although the data is not accurate)

And when Bailong explained to Hestia, and the embarrassed Hestia listened carefully, a certain robber who was almost shot in the head, who was still a little bored and sleepy, was instantly awakened by the breath of death.

However, although the robber was lucky to dodge this blow, he did not find Hestia and Bailong, who were wearing camouflage clothes and hiding behind cover.

As he looked around at the scene, the robber seemed to shout a few words into the watchtower, and another robber in a patchwork of fur came out of the watchtower.

"Choose your target freely, and I'll assist you."

It was a good time to say at least, at least Hestia's arrow was a staggering act. However, time is not waiting, if you don't do it again, relying on the arrow that hits the trunk of the tree to push back, the other party will easily find the two of you.

For Bailong's proposal, it was also clear that Hestia did not wait for me to acquiesce directly. It was not so much to get up from where he fell, but to hold his breath in his heart, and to aim a new arrow at the robber who had escaped from his own hands.

This time, Hestia took into account variables such as trajectory and wind speed, and deflected the crosshair at an angle to the lower left of the target.

The next moment, the arrow successfully hit the opponent's body. Although it didn't hit any fatal points like the head. But the arrow that hit the upper body, in this low-temperature environment, still quickly took away the opponent's body temperature and life.

And just as the robber who came out of the watchtower reacted to the sudden fall of his companion to the ground with an arrow, he was also killed by an arrow.

This arrow naturally comes from Bailong.

"Enemy, clear."

After waiting quietly for a while, and sneaking forward for some distance to make sure that no new enemies had emerged from the tower, the two resumed their walking stance and walked quickly to the tower. Of course, there was still the necessary vigilance, and Hestia and Bailong did not put down the longbow in their hands, and put their other hand on the longsword.

Coming to the two robbers, Hestia began to pack up the loot and retrieve the arrows that had been shot before~, while the hundred dragons were on the sidelines to guard the surrounding situation.

As before, Hestia did not touch the clothes of the two, but put away the weapons, as well as valuables such as gold coins. Naturally, as a Nord person living in the cold region of the plateau, just like Lao ~ Maozi, he will carry a few bottles of wine on his body. Hestia, who was not very interested in wine, and knew that it was not appropriate to drink now, did not touch this bottle of wine.

As for these wines that remain in place? Think of it as a kind of help for travelers or those who are in distress.

After collecting the loot, the two entered the watchtower. The loot carried by the robbers is always a small head, and the loot in the lair is the most abundant, since it has been fought and settled, then naturally it cannot be missed.

After removing the 30 gold coins from a table inside the tower, the two discovered that there was no loot worth collecting on this level, but there was a passage leading to the second level outside the tower.

Through this passageway, which looked and was actually quite dangerous, when he was about to come to the second floor, Bailong suddenly felt the breath of someone.

But before Bailong could say or do something, Hestia dodged directly into the second layer, and came directly to a robber with a battle axe through the large hole on the third layer. (Although in the gameplay video, the first sneak attack on a certain piece of the floor is blocked...... )

Without the slightest hesitation, Hestia put the arrow on the bowstring in the shortest amount of time as the robber rushed down the staircase beside him, and drew it.

In the end, because of the distance and range, Hestia launched an attack one step ahead.

At this moment, the robber was rushing down the stairs and was hit by the arrow with almost no dodge distance. So, the last robber embarked on the same journey as the first two.

As for why the robber didn't come out before, but stayed in the watchtower...... Sneak attack? Ambush? Timid? Who knows the real reason? (Of course, it's a matter of game mechanics and AI)

For Hestia and Bailong, it was enough to know that this was the robber and the last man in the tower.

Subsequently, the two managed to obtain a pair of iron boots, more than 30 gold coins, and a normal longbow from a chest inside a high point on the three-story watchtower. In addition, the two of them also found a large pile of wooden barrels on the second floor, but they were filled with various ingredients and worthless large items. After opening a few barrels, the two lost patience with it.

In this regard, Hestia complained: "It's really shabby. ”

And Bailong responded: "They are robbers. ”

Indeed, they were just a group of robbers who had fallen so far as to have only three of them, and even if they were the ones who stole the golden dragon claws, what wealth would these three people have as the first level of sentinels?

After clearing and looting the dilapidated little watchtower that wouldn't even be marked on any map, the two set out on their way to the Coldfall Tomb again.

However, just after walking the upward mountain road and turning the left corner, a huge building appeared in front of the two of them.

Although I had seen this building from a distance on the road that had followed Hadawa before, especially the towering stone pillars. However, at close range, the impact on the facial features is much greater.

"This is an ancient burial mound? Are you sure you're not kidding? ”

Rather than being an ancient burial mound, Hestia prefers to believe that this is actually a temple dedicated to dragons!

At the very least, the building does seem to be large enough to provide a huge space for the dragon to take off, land, and eat.

PS: I'm sorry, I've been in a bad state these days, and I haven't been able to lift my energy. Well, that's why a lot of the commentary in the previous chapter is. That's right, the length of the commentary in the chapter basically represents the state of my own few days.

ps2: Actually, it's not a fatal part.,It won't die immediately after hitting the arrow.,As long as you don't pull out the ~ arrow in a low temperature area, you won't lose body temperature very quickly.,But because of the damage of the early BUG of the space bow.,So I had to deal with it like this.。 So, please don't put it in the realm of common sense.

PS3: Because of the effect of the space bow's group kill (although the range is not large), when the subsequent group kill event is encountered, the death of other people is the hand of Bailong in this novel.

PS4: By the way, if you play Skyrim Reset mod, this watchtower in front of the Frostfall Temple is a veritable rookie killer level: as bandits, these guys actually have high-level equipment such as elves and dwarves, can you believe it?!
