The central area of the Archer Forest is mainly made up of peaks of different heights.

Surrounded by mountains, there is a tall and majestic rock temple.

On the pedestal in front of the temple, a dark-haired man in a sleeveless leather coat covered his forehead with his hands, looking into the distance.

Arjuna's arrow was really merciless. Not even a single corpse was left behind. ”

The man had a leisurely expression on his face, and through his skill "clairvoyance", he took in the "accident" that had just been released at the door.

"Voyeurism is not a good behavior. Arash. ”

Another figure appeared next to Arash, and it was a woman.

She had a flowery yellow shawl and was dressed in a glamorous emerald green dress. There is a strange charm all over her body, and with the animal ears on top of her head and the tail swaying behind her, she seems to be the embodiment of wild beauty.

"Ah, Atalanta, here you are." Arash smiled faintly.

"What just happened, it seems that something bad wants to get in, that's what the forest told me."

Atalanta straightened her long hair and asked, a little confused.

"Ah, it's true that there's a 'dirty thing' mixed in with the players who participated in the game this year, but it's been wiped out by Arjuna." Arash explained.

"Undead or Warcraft?" Atalanta frowned.

Taking advantage of the open gate of the forest to sneak in, this has not happened in a long time.

Last time, a black lizard was eyeing the "treasure" in the temple, and they almost left Xiao Ming here.

"Neither, and I don't know what it is. Hawkers, it's been wiped out anyway, so it doesn't matter what it is. It's a little more interesting on the other side. Arash said suddenly.

Atalanta didn't speak, just stared at Arash waiting for his aftermath.

"That little lizard from last time is coming in again."

Arash pouted boredly, and had no choice but to speak.

"The lizard? I'm really looking for death. Atalanta couldn't help but sneer.

I didn't kill it last time, but this time I have to pay attention to the treasure of the temple?

"Haha, this year's hunting game is really interesting. I've heard that there are various things going on in the castle. Arash laughed.

"Whatever it is. Anyone who tries to disturb the peace of the forest will be executed by me. Where is that lizard? ”

A grim expression appeared on Atalanta's beautiful countenance, and her piercing gaze glared at Arash.

"It's coming in from over there. But you also know that with that lizard's ability, even my clairvoyance can't catch it when it enters the forest. Otherwise, it wouldn't have escaped last time. ”

Arash shook his head and smiled wryly.

Rather than taking the initiative, he is more optimistic about waiting for the rabbit. If that lizard is still playing with the idea of "treasure", it will inevitably be sent to the door.

It's a pity that this will not have any effect on Atalanta. They have been getting along for many years, and they also know each other's personalities.

"Then I'll find it myself. No useless prey can escape my hunt. ”

Atalanta leaped forward, her figure disappearing between the mountain peaks and the jungle.

"But that lizard ran out from under you last time."

Looking at Atalanta's vanishing figure, Arash couldn't help but smile bitterly.

……

In the woods -

A condensed arrow pierced through the air, piercing through a unicorn wolf of no small size.

"Whew~!"

The green wolf screamed in pain, and soon convulsed his body and lost his breath of life.

After a while, Zhou Yao and Icarus walked out of the grass.

"It's a good start, and I don't know how many points it will be worth."

Zhou Yao muttered alone, took out the dagger on his waist and walked to the corpse of the green wolf.

As the wolf died, a pitch-black pattern gradually emerged on its corpse, shaped like an eye and a heart.

Zhou Yao inserted the dagger into the pattern, and suddenly a streamer of light shifted from the corpse to the dagger.

Seeing this, I have to mention the rules of the hunting competition. Or rather, the rules of this "Forest of Archers".

The dagger in Zhou Yao's hand is a special counter for the game, which is specially used to collect the "points" that exist on the prey.

During the "Archer Forest" during the hunting tournament, all creatures will have an inscription after death, and if you collect them with a dagger, you will receive points of different degrees depending on the strength of the creature.

The rules are very simple, the more points you collect, the higher the final ranking.

Other than that, there are the mandatory rules imposed by the "Archer no Mori" on all players.

- In the Forest of Archers, only throwing props and special daggers are allowed to hunt prey. Including bows and crossbows, all kinds of firearms are acceptable.

This is not only a requirement at the level of the rules of the game, but also an absolute law of the Archer Forest.

In the realm of the Archer Forest, the magician's spell casting will become impossible. Swords that are not included in the rules will also lose their [meaning] as weapons.

For example, a sword that sharpens iron like clay cuts through the hair in the Archer Forest. This is the characteristic of the Forest of Archers as an inherent barrier. Even the legendary holy sword is unlikely to break free.

In addition to swords, the same goes for other melee weapons. But fighting empty-handed is not interfered with. There will be no situation where the fist that kills the cow will not even be able to beat the cotton here.

Of course, if you have to come in with the holy sword and use it as a stick, it's not impossible.

It is precisely because of the existence of this law that Zhou Yao chose Icarus. Her tail-chasing missiles, as well as her bow and arrows, are not restricted by the Archer Forest.

"Let's go find the next prey."

After collecting the points of the corpse, Zhou Yao got up and took Icarus away.

Quietly, a large bow with a heavy shape appeared in Zhou Yao's hand.

The arrow that shot the green wolf just now was shot with it, but this big bow was not an ordinary weapon, but the one that shot a hundred heads.

Originally, Zhou Yao had prepared other bows and crossbows to use, but after coming in, he suddenly found that shooting a hundred heads had changed into a big bow form.

Probably because of the influence of the Archer Forest, Zhou Yao took it out when he had a rare opportunity.

Through the test just now, he determined that the shooting of the big bow form had weakened by I don't know how many times. It stands to reason that the bow form should be the strongest to shoot a hundred heads, but the one in Zhou Yao's hand can only shoot powerful arrows.

But even this was much more powerful than the bow and crossbow he had prepared.

Zhou Yao put his hand on the bowstring and was ready to attack at any time, all his attention was focused on the surrounding movements, and he didn't notice that Icarus behind him suddenly stopped, turned his head to look in the direction of the side and seemed to find something.
