Chapter 5: Extreme Archery Talent
There is no way to be sure for the time being, David complained in his heart that his golden finger was so unclear that he had to work hard to figure it out. How good is it to give a system directly? It doesn't need to be complicated, even if it's just a prompt interface, it's clear and straightforward.
"The golden finger is not powerful!"
Coming to the edge of the forest with Ferdin, looking at the towering trees standing in front of him, David retracted his messy thoughts: Goldfinger, rewards or something can be pondered slowly when you have time, and now it's better to study how to build a house!
"It's all good wood." Fording looked at it for a moment and determined that the wood was a good fit for a house.
After all, he is a paladin who has led an army and fought against orcs, and he has often commanded his subordinates to cut down trees and build camps, and this vision is still there.
"The next step is to cut down the trees." This was not an easy task, not only did they have to cut down the big trees, but they also had to clear the branches from the trunks and carry the whole thick log back into the village.
Although the village is not far from the forest, there is still a certain distance, and David looked at the thick tree trunk, and really didn't know if he could resist it?
"By the way, there's one thing I forgot to ask." Fording was still surveying his surroundings and saw that the trees were stout, and the forest was so vast that he couldn't see the edge, which meant they didn't have to worry about whether there was enough wood.
"What's the matter?"
"What's the name of our village?"
"......" David was stunned when he heard this question, he had never thought about it.
Although the pioneer camp has been established for nearly two years, it has never been able to establish a real village due to the unsmooth development process and the continuous reduction of members, so the village has never been officially named.
"Because of various problems, I haven't had an official name." After answering Fordin's question, David also took the opportunity to think about what should he name the village?
I didn't think about this before, but at that time he wanted to give up, but now that he has decided to stick to it and thought of the direction of development, then the name of the village must be decided as soon as possible.
It is not only convenient to introduce to the people who come later, but also to fill in the official name of the village on the development certificate, so that it is convenient to report to the official kingdom in the future to obtain various rewards.
"That's right!" Ferding had already chosen a big tree, then picked up his axe and began to cut the wood: "Then you have to come up with a good name." ”
"I'll think of a name."
David also took out his axe and prepared to start cutting down trees, but after a few chops, he found that the gap between his efficiency and Fording was too great.
His physical fitness is not bad now, otherwise there would be no way to survive two winters. As a hunter, he has not lacked meat to eat since he was a child, and with years of training, it can be said that he is much stronger than himself in his previous life.
But compared to the humans from Azeroth, the Titans, who were degenerated from the steel life, and the Ferdin, who was baptized by the Holy Light, he is a super weak chicken.
After Ferding had cut down a tree and cleared all the branches and leaves by the way, David was still struggling with the first trunk.
"By the way, there's not much food stored in the village! I think we should collect and store some more food. Fording saw that David's physical fitness was much worse than his own, but he waited until David cut down the first big tree before making his suggestion.
"Huh~" David knew that Ferding had good intentions, and the difference in the efficiency of the two people cutting down trees was too obvious, so it was better to act separately to do different jobs, not affecting the progress of cutting trees, and at the same time ensuring that there would be no shortage of food: "Then I'll leave it to you here." ”
"Rest assured, this kind of work is easy for me." Ferdin, who was once in high status, did not resist the menial work of cutting down trees. Now that he is determined to live a relatively mundane life of seclusion, he can no longer think of himself as the Lord of the Hearthvale of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
Now Ferdin, an ordinary 'farmer', is ready to create a new life with his own hands.
Thinking about it this way, he felt that cutting down trees was not so boring, and even became full of motivation, and the speed at which the trees fell became faster.
Davy, who was separated from Fording, moved west along the edge of the forest.
In this direction, walk along the edge of the forest to the riverbank, and then follow the riverbank to the north, to ensure that you don't get lost, and to spot large animals more easily.
This route is not completely safe, so Davy always holds the hunting bow in his left hand and his right hand always stays above the quiver hanging from his waist, so that he can take out the bow and arrow at any time to attack.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a shadow, and his right hand took out an arrow for the first time, and completed the action of setting up an arrow and opening the bow in the shortest possible time.
At this moment, David felt as if everything in his vision had slowed down, and at the same time, the shadow that was not very clear had become clearer and even magnified, and he could see more clearly.
Not only that, but there was a feeling that made him realize that he needed to move a few more centimeters to the left in order to be the right 'crosshair'.
The thumb released the clasped bowstring, and as the arrow swam off the string and ran towards the target, David even had the feeling that he would definitely hit the target, and there was no need to repair the knife at all.
What happened next was just as he felt, the arrow hit a pheasant accurately, and the prey was killed neatly, and from the time David drew the arrow, to the time the pheasant was shot and killed, that is, in the blink of an eye.
"Good guy, my archery ability has not improved a little bit."
Even if he had guessed that he had obtained the archery ability from Laura, he didn't expect such a huge improvement, except for the surprise, he thought of one thing: It seems that my original talent in archery is not very good, and the gap between this kind of master who can use a bow and arrow to kill the entire organization on the opposite side is too big.
"I thought I could become a hunter, but I had a bit of a talent for archery!"
Then I thought that even if his talent was almost good, with people like Laura and Ferdin, who kept appearing to help him upgrade, his future was quite bright.
After recovering the arrows and hanging the pheasant on his left waist, David was ready to continue collecting food, in addition to meat, he also wanted to find more wild vegetables, mushrooms, wild fruits, etc., to ensure that the food diversity could lead a healthier life.
"The meat is delicious, but no one can stand it if you eat only meat."
He was lucky enough to pick some mushrooms and berries, even if he needed to squat there and pick small berries one by one, he was not half impatient, only full of happiness.
Just as he was picking berries, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and reacted immediately - he threw down a handful of berries in his hand and threw it to the side, picked up the hunting bow in his hand and rolled it over.
Although it was covered with a lot of dirt and grass and looked very embarrassed, it perfectly avoided the attack of the beast - it was a large gray wolf.
"......" saw clearly what kind of beast was on the other side, and David immediately glanced around, and sure enough, he found more gray wolves in the grass, behind trees, etc.
Slowly moving his position, David moved towards the river to avoid being attacked on his back.
The gray wolf on the other side seemed to sense his thoughts, and pounced again while David was still moving slowly, and the hungry wolf was greeted by arrows that flew almost in unison.
David has been a hunter for so many years, and it cannot be said that he is not without a single skill: he is very good at rapid fire, he can catch three to five arrows at a time, shoot them all in the shortest time, and ensure that all of them hit within a circle about the size of a human head.
Now rewarded with archery ability from Laura, he can even compress this range into fist-sized circles, and the state of being surrounded by slow motion when he concentrates on aiming means that David can better lock on and shoot targets, even if they are moving at high speeds.
It was easy to take out the first enemy, but now was not the time to relax, and David immediately pulled two arrows from his quiver, and this time his targets came from two different directions.
Mentally concentrated, the slow-motion picture gave his brain 'ample' time to make judgments: the wolf on the left had jumped up and pounced, while the wolf on the right was still sprinting and accumulating, and the distance was a little farther.
While this state doesn't make David's body move faster, it allows him to make the best judgment to complete the kill in an instant: left and right!
The two arrows were fired one after another, although they failed to kill one arrow, but they also made the two gray wolves stop the momentum of the forward rush, and bought David a little time - only a second or two, several arrows flew to shoot the two gray wolves to complete the kill.
Davy's movements were very fast, and instead of retreating, he rushed to the gray wolf that he had shot first, reached out and pulled out the arrow that had pierced the wolf, followed by another round of rapid fire, and shot another gray wolf.
Davy, who had completed successive kills, reached for the arrows, but when he opened his bow again, the wolves had already turned around and burrowed into the forest, and they were all gone.
"It's so fast!"
The highly tense spirit relaxed slightly, and David watched his surroundings vigilantly, then packed the spilled berries, tied up the corpses of several gray wolves and carried them behind him, and then cautiously walked back along the riverbank.
"Thanks Laura!"
After making sure that the gray wolves hadn't caught up, David let out a sigh of relief and thanked Lara again for giving him super archery ability.
At the same time, he was looking forward to the various magical rewards offered by Ferdin, and even those who would appear in the future.
