"Whoosh!"

A crudely made white-feathered arrow trembled as it pinned a poisonous snake wriggling in the locust tree to its bark.

The sharpened arrows easily cut through the seven inches of the viper, killing it with a single blow.

Fifty paces away, Lance slowly put away the short bow in his hand.

Since opening Hawkeye yesterday, Lance has been eager to try the effect of this sub-chip, and the results have not disappointed him.

Within 50 paces, the short bow shoots 100 shots and hits, and within 100 paces, there is still an accurate hit rate of more than 90%. As for two hundred paces away, it is a place where the short bow itself cannot reach, after all, the productivity of this world is relatively backward, and the workmanship of bows and arrows is relatively poor.

The short bow in Lance's hand had been dug out of the castle patrol's treasury. With Lance's strength of 0.7, it was not difficult to pull the short bow, but there was nothing he could do against the rest of the slightly better bows and arrows in the storeroom.

"If you want to pull a longbow with better workmanship, you need at least 1.2 or more force. As for the well-calibrated bow and arrow in the viscount's study, it requires a strength of 2.0! I'd better use this ordinary short bow first, and before I learn offensive spells, I can count on the strength of long-range strikes. Lance put away the shortbow, the purpose of today's practice and test had been achieved, and he was ready to leave the grove under the cliff and turn back to the castle.

This small forest is located to the south of the Moonlight Tower, and there are no large creatures in the forest, so it is safe for Lance to come alone.

His steps were brisk, making his way through the muddy trails washed by last night's rainstorm, enjoying the fresh air.

"The air quality in the world that has not been polluted is different!"

He took a deep breath a little greedily, and at this moment, a hurried voice suddenly sounded in his heart:

"Warning! Scans have detected humanoids approaching fast!"

Lance was distracted, clenched the bow and arrows in his hand, and when he looked back, there were still twelve white feather arrows in the quiver behind his back.

Arrows and bows, although he is not very skilled in these two movements, they can also be called standards.

In the direction that the fox scanned, a bush suddenly moved, followed by a distinct rush of footsteps.

Lance took a deep breath and aimed for the place.

Suddenly, a figure jumped out of the grass, with blood on his face, and he looked extremely panicked, and ran over with a limp.

Seeing this scene, Lance almost had no instinct to react, and his hand shook and he shot his bow and arrow.

Finally, he had good eyes, and he recognized the future at a glance.

That's a soldier of the Castle Patrol!

The lame soldier immediately saw Lance, his face became even more panicked, and he couldn't help shouting: "Young Master Lance, run, run!"

Lance frowned, and stood still. He had the impression that this soldier was the group that had gone with Poirot to the Southern Foliage Forest Farm to destroy the Frost Demons.

"Didn't Poirot say some time ago that he had found the lair of the Frost Goblin and was going to be cleared soon? How could this soldier be so embarrassed? Could it be that something was wrong with Poirot?"

A haze flashed through Lance's mind.

When the soldier saw that Lance was motionless, he was in a hurry, and his right hand seemed to be wounded, and in a hurry he raised his sword in his left hand and turned around, as if he wanted to fight to the death.

There was another tremor in the bushes, and after a few unpleasant howls, an ice-blue shadow pounced out.

"Frost Goblins?"

Lance was a little surprised, it stands to reason that the combat ability of a creature like the Frost Goblin is very average, and the castle patrol team is a well-trained guy, how could they be chased so embarrassed by a Frost Goblin?

But he didn't have time to think about it so much, seeing that the frost demon pounced on the soldier with red eyes, Lance smiled coldly:

"Turn on the sub-chip Hawkeye!"

In the next second, a strange outline faintly appeared in his eyes, and his eyes became extremely sharp.

"Hawkeye is on!" the fox reported.

"Lock on to the target's head!" Lance ordered decisively.

At this moment, there was immediately a red cross-sight in his left eye. Under the automatic locking function of the sub-chip Hawkeye, he instantly aimed at the head of the Frost Demon!

"I'm fighting you!" the lame soldier gritted his teeth and roared, sword raised.

Sou!

The sharp arrow pierced the air, grazed past the soldier's side, and landed firmly on the forehead of the Frost Demon!

Black blood flowed down the shaft of the arrow, and the frost ground monster screamed, lying on its back, completely dead!

The lame soldier was dumbfounded.

He looked back, Lance's face was grim, and the second arrow was quietly mounted.

More noises came from the grass, and in the blink of an eye, two more frost goblins jumped out.

Lance didn't hesitate, the arrow was aimed at one of the monsters, and the swishing arrow simply ended the other's life.

It's just that this arrow pierced the throat of the Frost Demon.

The other Frost Goblin apparently sensed Lance's threat, and it jumped past the lame soldier and pounced on Lance in anger.

Pity......

It was greeted only by an invitation from the Grim Reaper!

Sou!

The string of the short bow trembled slightly, and the sharp arrow was inserted into the eye socket of the Frost Demon's right eye, and due to the close distance between the two sides, the powerful penetrating power of the bow and arrow flew directly with the Frost Demon's thin body for several steps before smashing to the ground.

There was no sound in the grass again. The crisis is over.

Lance exhaled softly, unloading Hawkeye.

Unlike the main chip, there is a price to be paid for any sub-chip to turn on. For example, Hawkeye, in the process of maintaining the operation of the sub-chip, Lance's physical strength will be depleted exponentially, so when not in use, he chooses to turn Hawkeye off.

Ignoring the stunned lame soldier, Lance walked briskly over to the corpse of the three-headed frost goblin and did a little examination.

He noticed that all the frost goblin eyes were unusually scarlet, and the blood flowing from their bodies was actually black. This is not in line with the common sense that Lance is well aware, and the only explanation is ......

"These frost demons, demonized?"

There was a hint of solemnity in Lance's gaze.

"Young Master Lance......" The lame soldier struggled over, but there was still uncontrollable shock in his gaze when he looked at Lance.

"What's going on with you?" asked Lance.

The soldier smiled wryly: "We are ambushed...... The lair that Mistress Poirot found was a demonic lair. ”

"All the brothers are trapped inside, and I am the only one who escaped......"

Lance looked up at the depths of the jungle, and although there was no sign of other frost goblins chasing after him, it was better to be careful.

"Let's go back to the castle and talk to Ola. Lance said.

......

"What!?Did Ora go to sea with her teacher?"

Lance listened to the report of a patrol soldier with some surprise, and his already somewhat unsafe face became even more gloomy.

The lame soldier's name was Henry, and he was being treated by a physician in the castle.

"Here's the thing, last night, a large wave of blue-scaled fishmen suddenly attacked the town of Shoufeng under the castle, although they were repelled by the soldiers in the town, but Captain Aura suspected that a blue-scaled prophet was born in the blue-scaled fish-man lair near the Misty Sea, otherwise these fish-men would not have attacked the human town in an organized manner. So early this morning, Captain Aura found the Amman wizard and wanted to use his spells and knowledge to go to sea and search the nearby islands to see if there really was a Bluescale Prophet......," Aura explained to Lance with his other lieutenant.

After that, he glanced at Henry and said to Lance: "If it is really as Henry said, that group of frost goblins is organized and strategic, and they are demonized, we must wait for Captain Aura and Lord Amman to come back before we can take action, otherwise we will be in danger." ”

"How long will it take for them to come back?" asked Lance, frowning

The adjutant hesitated: "At least three days." ”

"Three days?!Captain Poirot and the other brothers are now trapped in the demonic lair, and their lives are in danger!Three days, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold it anymore!" Henry shouted with some excitement, but because of his excessive movement, he accidentally pulled the wound, and suddenly bared his teeth in pain.

"Henry, don't be in a hurry. Lance thought for a moment and asked, "Do you remember the exact location of that demonized lair?"

Henry nodded.

Lance looked at the adjutant, "How many soldiers are there in the castle?"

"Three squads, the Viscount took most of the men with him when he left, and we are short of manpower. Moreover, due to the night attack of the fishmen last night, Shoufeng Town under the mountain also lost a lot of manpower, and I am afraid that the militia will need to be transferred to the town's defense task. The adjutant had a difficult face.

"Okay, give me a squad of soldiers. Lance nodded.

The adjutant was stunned for a moment: "What?"

"Give me a squad of soldiers, and I'll take them personally. Lance said calmly: "In addition, this is an order, and it will be executed immediately." ”

The adjutant cautiously asked, "Understood, Young Master Lance...... But, the eldest lady?"

"The eldest lady was frightened a few days ago, so don't bother her with these things. Lance said, "Go and gather the soldiers, and in ten minutes wait for me at the gate of the castle." ”

The adjutant did not dare to slack off and immediately went. At this time, Henry had also finished bandaging, and he found a crutch, and he could barely walk.

"Are you ready?" asked Lance.

Henry grinned, "No problem, Master Lance. ”
