Chapter 44 Sparring

When it was time for dinner again, Tangtang happily said to Lu Jingzhi, "Brother Jing, do you know? ”

"Oh. It's full, what does that mean?" Lu Jingzhi didn't understand much of this.

"He said I was a good archer. "Sugar Candy said excitedly.

"Qualified?!" Lu Jingzhi was a little unconvinced, would it be so fast?

"Almost. Sugar Candy had a twisted expression on her face.

Lu Jingzhi smiled: "It's rare that Sister Rong'er will be so happy, tell me, what did Bonny say?"

"He said, I just don't have enough arm strength. Sugar Candy lowered her head and said embarrassedly. However, she immediately raised her head and added urgently: "He said that from tomorrow, he will train my arm strength." ”

"Arm strength?" Lu Jingzhi stopped his chopsticks and asked, "Why do you want to train arm strength?"

"The teacher said that I was not physically strong, and I opened the bow at most twice, and if I had more, I would lose my strength. Sugar Candy said.

Lu Jingzhi pondered for a moment and said, "Tell Bonney tomorrow, don't practice arm strength." Unless you want to be a woman with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. ”

A picture appeared in Tangtang's mind, his cute face was resting on a strong body, crossing his waist and laughing wildly, and Brother Jing on the side was so frightened that he sat on the ground and trembled.

"I don't want to. Tangtang pushed the rice and said, "I don't want to be a woman, I don't want to be a bear." As soon as her temper came up, she refused to eat.

"Okay, okay, Sister Rong'er, don't be angry, let Brother Jing think about it, maybe I can come up with a good way to get you a bow that you can use without practicing your arm strength. Lu Jingzhi coaxed Tangtang and finished the rest of the meal.

When it came time to train, no matter how much Leviatan tried to persuade him, Sugar Candy refused to train his arm strength anymore. She would rather put aside her training and learn carpentry from Leviatan to make bows and arrows. Since it was said by an adult, he was happy to be taught by the student's temperament, and Leviatan did not force Tangtang to train his arm strength.

"Teacher Leviatan, if I aim like this, will I be able to hit the target?"

Leviatan was sawing out the shape of a longbow, while Sugar Candy was polishing a small bow half a meter long, which had been planed.

"Normally, that's accurate enough. ”

"What about unusual times?" Sugar Candy carefully sharpened the bow body of the little bow, and selected the two shortest ones from the ice fruit sticks sharpened by the teacher, and strengthened them on the bow body.

"Little girl, do you know what is the most important thing to be an archer?" asked Leviatan, stopping his carpentry work.

Sugar Candy intently embedded the ice fruit wood into the grooves on both sides of the bow and tied it with a strong thread before replying, "Did you hit the target?"

Leviatan looked at the small bow in Sugarcandy's hand, gave her a thumbs up, said he had done a good job, and said, "It doesn't matter if you hit the target. On the battlefield, if you miss, someone else will. ”

Sugar Candy tilted her head and thought for a moment, and said, "That's the most important target for picking?"

Leviatan shook his head and said, "No. The most important thing for archers is to keep a safe distance. He paused for a moment, pointed to the wooden target standing by the wall of the left tower, and said, "If it is an ordinary infantryman, the time to rush over is enough for you to shoot three arrows at it." But if it's a cavalryman, you'll only be able to shoot a maximum of two arrows in the time it takes to rush over. ”

"Shall I just shoot it with an arrow?" asked Sugarcandy.

"Of course you can, but if it dodges or blocks your arrow, you'll have to fire a second shot," Leviatan laughed. If it gets to you, you'll have to rely on the short sword at your waist. As he spoke, he handed Sugar three arrows that had not yet been loaded with arrows.

"Shoot me with it and you'll see how I rushed over. With that, Leviatan walked over to the wooden target. "Little girl, I'll start rushing at you when you shoot your first arrow. ”

At this distance, Sugar Candy was very sure that she could hit the bull's-eye with one arrow, she picked up the bow that the teacher gave her a little harder, and according to yesterday's posture, she held the bow in her left hand, buckled the string with her right hand, and her two arms were forced, and she twisted her body in steps, and pulled the bow to the full, and the arrow without an arrow was also on the string.

"Draw the bow to the center of the chin, pull the finger back with the hand holding the string, and let go. Sugar Candy thought silently in her heart, her eyes looking directly at Leviatan's head, and an arrow hitting him in the head could cause a lot of damage. So she deflected the arrow a little further downward, and then let go of her fingers, and the arrow sparkled towards Leviatan. But before the arrow reached Leviatan's face, he was already short and rushed like a cheetah.

He avoided it. It doesn't matter, Sugar Candy said to herself, and she repeated the above action, placing the second headless arrow on the string and letting go. This arrow is faster than the previous one because the target is closer. After Sugar Candy shot out, he didn't have time to see if it hit, so he subconsciously pulled out the third headless arrow.

Sure enough, he blocked it. Leviatan seemed to draw a dagger and parryed an arrow that was bound to hit him in the face.

Sugar Candy had already put the third arrow on the string, and when the string was full, the arm of his left hand was torn, as if it had strained a muscle. But she shot the arrow steadily, and with a little trick, she deliberately waited a little as she drew the string back, and only released the bowstring when Leviatan's sword-wielding hand swung to the back of the run.

He didn't have time to block. Because when he blocked the second arrow, the speed and amplitude of his movements had been memorized by Sugar Candy, and he specially chose this time to shoot the arrow, because he had no time to swing the knife. But Sugar Candy still didn't hit the target. Leviatan slammed his left foot to the ground and jumped. The arrow flew under his feet and landed straight at the wall of the left tower with a snapping sound.

Sugar Candy knew that she didn't have the strength to draw her bow anymore, so she dropped it on the ground and drew her dagger to prepare for hand-to-hand combat. Leviatan landed heavily in front of her, the short sword in his hand stabbing at her. She didn't parry, but jumped half a step backwards with a swift pace, then turned to the left, putting herself at the outer door of Leviatan. This is what Leviatan taught her.

Silver Heart's task is to help Miss make arrows, and she was still sticking tail feathers to the polished arrow shaft on the side, when she suddenly saw Leviatan walk to the left tower wall and let Miss shoot arrows, thinking it was just an ordinary archery test, but as soon as the three arrows were issued, it became a fierce master-apprentice fight.

The young lady and the undead ranger were already fighting each other with knives, and if it weren't for the bright knives in their hands, the two of them looked more like they were dancing. The two hands dance regularly and quickly, and the steps under the feet are also one advance and one retreat, always chasing closely. Could it be that this ranger is going to be unfavorable to the young lady? Yinxin looked at the two dancing figures in a tangled way, do you want to report to the young master?

Just when Silver Heart decided to run to the left tower to report to the young master, Sugar Candy and Leviatan threw away their short swords at the same time and stopped fighting. Silver Heart, who took the first step, quickly stopped before he could run, and almost didn't fall on his heels.

Tangtang sat on the ground tiredly, panting heavily, sweat dripping down constantly, and only after a while did he say, "Teacher Leviatan, I know." It is very difficult to hit the moving target with an arrow alone. ”

The surprise in Leviatan's heart was no less than that of Sugar Candy, and he didn't even know if he wanted to continue to raise her. If such a little girl is allowed to continue learning martial arts, it is very likely that she will be promoted to a hero in the human stage, just like Zhao Qifeng more than a thousand years ago.

"Nope. Leviatan shook his head and said, "Little girl, if your target is not me, but another knight or archer, chances are you'll have been shot." Because I knew too much about bows and arrows, I was able to dodge them. ”

"But you dodged it. The little girl said a little sadly, she had done her best.

Seeing his student's sad appearance, Leviatan didn't know why he was also a little sullen, so he changed the topic and said, "I rushed up because you didn't keep a safe distance." ”

Sugar Candy nodded and said, "But if I turn around and run away, I will still be chased by you." ”

"Yes, the second important thing I want to teach you is that, as an archer, never give your back to the enemy. ”

"Am I going to run backwards?" asked Sugarcandy, puzzled.

"Of course not. Leviathan drew an arrow and shot it at the wooden target, hitting the bull's-eye and saying, "You shot the first arrow." Then he ran backwards, turned around as he ran, shot another arrow with his backhand, and hit the bull's-eye again, and continued: "This is the second arrow." After running to a location, he made an emergency stop, turned around and fired another arrow, saying, "This is your third arrow." "These three arrows are about the speed of Sugar Candy's arrows.

"We are archers, and our duty is to shoot arrows. So we have to shoot arrows when we attack, we have to shoot arrows when we defend, and we still have to shoot arrows when we escape. Leviatan paused and explained to Sugar Candy the points of the archers.

Shoot arrows to attack, shoot arrows to defend, and shoot arrows to escape.

"Teacher Leviatan, what if the target moves fast and it is difficult to shoot?" Sugar Candy asked again.

"Then let him slow down. The Undead Ranger seemed to be laughing, but not yet, "That's the end of today's training, I'll teach you how to use traps later." ”

Traps are a good thing. If you have few hands, set up one or two traps to contain them, and you can shoot them calmly one by one, and ordinary hunters will have such skills. But on a large-scale battlefield, the trap needs to be set more cleverly, so that thousands of people fall into the trap and cannot extricate themselves, which requires extraordinary brains and wisdom.

Sugarcandy nodded, politely said goodbye to Leviatan, took Silverheart's hand, and was about to leave the training ground when Leviatan stopped her again.

"Take your little bow back and make it tonight. A small one-meter-long bow with only about 20 pounds of force is perfect for you to practice now. The Undead Ranger said so.

Tangtang picked up the half-finished bow, said goodbye to the teacher, and briskly pulled the silver heart and ran away.

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
