Chapter 218: The Magician's Nemesis

I heard a sharp whistling in the air, "Whoosh!" Heimang's movements suddenly stopped, and a white mang like an aurora flashed suddenly in front of Heimang's body without warning, and a sound of gold and iron resonance suddenly sounded, "Ding!" The feather arrow landed on the ground, and at the same time made a crisp sound of "click".

The strong man's brother looked at the arrows that fell to the ground, made of gold, and had been reduced to pieces, and couldn't say a word. It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but the shock that Wuqi brought to him is too terrifying.

How is that possible? I know ...... This armor-piercing arrow is my trick! I finally visited the elf clan, and it took me ten years to learn the trick, how could it be cracked by it with one move! Impossible! I didn't make a mistake in that move just now, even the peak powerhouse of a high-level cultivator didn't dare to resist my move, and a little ghost with a strength similar to mine actually blocked it, and he also smashed the feather arrow to pieces. I don't believe it!

Archers, this is the most basic type of troops that can be found in any country in the entire world, and it is even very old-fashioned. In modern warfare, almost no country uses archers to fight, because today's world, whether it is the Ottoman Empire in the southwest, the Rosa Kingdom living alone in the northeast, or the Husmi Neutral Kingdom in the northwest, which has always been under the banner of neutrality, has equipped its kingdom division with heavy armor soldiers.

As long as there are heavily armored soldiers, or to put it more plainly, as long as there is heavy armor in this world, as long as there is heavy armor for a day, then there is no use for archers who are very useful in ancient battles.

Not to mention that the feathered arrows fired by archers in real large-scale battles cannot cause any damage to heavy armor, and even if they can do damage, they will not be able to shoot so accurately. Therefore, if you want to become a great archer in the real fight between countries, you must have both strong strength and vision that is far beyond ordinary people.

However, it is impossible for a person who truly has both to become an archer for the simple reason that he would choose to become an archer. Since a person with strength has sufficient confidence in his own strength, it is impossible for him to choose a profession such as an archer for long-range combat to cultivate, not to mention that he also needs super good vision power.

Of course, it is not that all talents with both advantages will not choose to become an archer, what really makes many people give up becoming an archer is that the entire Ranfa continent has not produced a single Sanctuary-level archer so far, and even in that period of civil war for millions of years, there has not been a single Sanctuary archer. In fact, there has not even been a single archer who can reach the level of a master.

One of the most powerful archers that has ever appeared in human history has only reached the pinnacle of a high-level cultivator in terms of strength. However, this is not to say that archers do not have heroes worthy of people's aspiration and aspiration. A long, long time ago, I don't know how many years ago, there was still a heroic figure of an archer in the world.

Of course, for the current residents of the Ranfa continent, it is no longer possible to verify whether the deeds of that heroic figure are real or apocryphal. No one has the interest to get to the bottom of it, but no one has forgotten the legend of that person. Because in the minds of everyone in the Lanfa Continent, this person is like a god-like existence, tall and strong, mighty and brave.

So who is he? No one knows the truth, only a vague idea.

It is precisely because no one knows the identity of this person that there will naturally be young people who want to find the truth and bravely devote themselves to the unpopular profession of archers.

The strong man with the hunting bow is one of these young people who love bows and arrows. However, although he also practiced the art of bows and arrows, he also clearly understood that his profession did not have much prospects.

After all, in large-scale battles, bows and arrows have gradually been replaced by high-tech cannonball weapons, and even if they don't use high-tech weapons with complex technical content, people will choose the more popular mage assistant than archers.

After all, it is also a ranged class, and the role of mages in large-scale combat is far greater than that of archers. As an archer of the same strength as a mage, no matter how fast you attack and how good your eyes are, you can only shoot one soldier per attack. ,

However, a mage of comparable strength can inflict massive damage on enemies in a single attack, killing dozens or even hundreds of soldiers in a short period of time with just one area of effect. Coupled with the fact that soldiers in various nations are now equipped with heavy armor, it is more difficult for archers to shoot their enemies with feathered arrows, which are not resistant to magic.

Therefore, archers are becoming less and less popular, but although mages are strong in attack, they are more effective than any other class in large-scale combat, and even in one-on-one, as long as they keep their distance, they are not afraid of any opponent, but archers are an exception.

A magician must recite a spell in order to perform a spell, and it takes time to recite a spell, and even if the spell can be instantaneous, it cannot be without any pause.

The reason why other classes do not frighten mages is that an experienced mage can interrupt their devastating magic at all times depending on the opponent's movement speed and the distance between the two classes when facing other melee classes of equal strength, so that they can get close enough to avoid danger before the opponent gets close to them.

This is also the biggest headache of all melee classes, so generally speaking, unless there is a huge difference in strength, this melee opponent is confident that he can close the distance between the two in an instant, and kill the opponent with one move before the magician can react, otherwise he will not dare to provoke the magician at all.

However, this world is fair, and even if these melee professions and mages are popular, admired, and have a bright future in normal times, they also have an Achilles heel that is difficult for ordinary people to find, as if they are born nemesis. Magicians have little to no power to parry when faced with their nemesis. Unless there is a huge difference in strength, it will be possible to escape by a whole realm higher than the opponent's strength.

And the most feared mage is not any of the popular professions on the Ranfa Continent, but the archers among the many unpopular professions. From the first day of learning magic, every magician will be told by the teacher in a very serious manner, "Don't provoke the archers!" This is not only a warning to the students, but also a warning, but also a command.

The Creator is fair, as if from the very first day that humans made bows and arrows, it was destined that such an ancient profession as archers would become the nemesis of magicians. A mage must recite a spell if he wants to cast a spell, but it is impossible to kill an archer of similar strength.

Instantaneous magic is too small to kill an archer, but powerful magic can't be cast at all, because the archer won't give you any chance. Every qualified archer will string his bow and release his arrows from the moment he finds the magician reciting a magic spell.

For archers, pulling the bow and releasing arrows is completely instantaneous. An archer with only the strength of a junior cultivator can easily kill a mage whose strength is even higher, and the strength of the archer is only increased by increasing the power of the feather arrow and the range of the arrow.

Therefore, once the magicians encounter the archers, it can be said that there is nothing to hide. Of course, this is a one-on-one or a smaller number of battles. When it really came to the time of the big war, the archers were not so lucky.

The enemy could not be so stupid as to put the mage at the head of the army, only the mage at the back of the line, because the mage will be protected by heavily armored soldiers, and because of this, the archers will hardly do much in the event of a major war.

However, there will always be exceptions in this world. From the day when humans made bows and arrows, until now, although many other professions have become stronger and stronger over time, many other professions have become stronger and stronger over time, but human bows and arrows have not progressed for a long time, and they have remained at a very latent level.

However, just because a human's bow and arrow skills have not improved does not mean that all bow and arrow skills have not improved. It's like a monster, a half-beast, and a human. This world is very large, and in a mysterious corner of the world world, there is a race that has studied the art of bows and arrows since ancient times.

They are similar in appearance to humans, with the same limbs and fingers, except that all the people of this race have a fresh, dark green skin, like the color of a forest. And the forest, like the color of their skin, is their home. ,

In terms of physical shape, the entire race resembles humans, except that the ears are long and pointed, like two leaves. Other than that, the entire race is almost indistinguishable from humans. But they don't belong to human beings, or their lifespans don't need to be cultivated, and they can be more durable and longer than human beings.

Moreover, the biggest difference with human beings is not only the appearance, but also the heart. The whole race is very distinct, either the evil faction with bad intentions, or the righteous faction with a pure heart, the distinction between good and evil is extremely obvious, and there is no middle faction like human beings, who are also good and evil.

The ancestors of the human race have given them a name since they discovered this group of aliens who resemble themselves, the elves. This title is still in use today.

It was precisely because of a chance encounter that the strong man brother with a hunting bow entered the elven clan and learned the exquisite bow and arrow skills, so his strength would improve by leaps and bounds, and in a very short period of time, he jumped from the strength of one or two layers of a junior cultivator to the ranks of intermediate cultivators.

It was precisely because he had seen with his own eyes the powerful bow and arrow art in the elven clan that he decided to devote himself to studying the bow and arrow technique. His special move, "Armor-Piercing Arrow", is also a skill he learned from the elves. If he continues to stay in the Elven Clan, his bow and arrow skills will definitely go to the next level.

Unfortunately, because he was eager for success and profit, he wanted to sell the information about the location of the elven homeland in exchange for a higher reward, which eventually led to the failure of the plan, and he was not only expelled from the elf clan, but also lost the way to enter the elven homeland forever.

However, he didn't have any gains, at least the "Armor Piercing Arrow" that could seriously injure a high-level cultivator with one arrow still gave him and his brother a lot of benefits, and he also successfully relied on this trick to become a well-known general in the army, although the level was not high, but it was not low.

However, he hit every shot with this move, and the "armor-piercing arrow" that he had never missed was smashed by the young man in front of him just now, he really couldn't accept this fact, and even rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
