Chapter Twenty-Three: Opening the Bow
"Know, know, know......"
The woods are silent. The bloody remnant sun is slowly sinking towards the horizon. The setting sun has gilded the entire ancient forest. Through the sparse branches, golden spots are reflected on the secluded pool surrounded by ancient trees, reflecting countless blurred golden threads.
Here, time seems to have stopped, and the calm surface of the lake is like a natural jade, so soft that there is not the slightest wrinkle.
Squeak!
The sound of branches breaking and breaking, which was common in the forest, is so harsh here.
A panicked stag ran desperately and crashed headlong into the tranquil woods, blood dripping slowly from its antlers, and the stag stood restlessly in front of the pool.
The small pool, which could be crossed in one step, seemed to have become an invisible iron wall in front of this stag, making its eyes gradually reveal a desperate gaze.
"Roar!" With a loud roar from the forest, all the birds within a mile radius of the small lake flew up in horror.
A majestic one-eyed saber-toothed tiger walked calmly towards the stag. It is like a general who has a chance to win, mocking the opponent's incompetence with his calmness.
On top of the ancient tree, Duanmu Xiongchuan grabbed Ning Shi's arm and whispered: "Breathe evenly, your eyes are level with your forearm, right! Aim slowly, wrap your little finger and grasp, wrap your little finger and grasp! If you can't grasp steadily, use your chest against your arm, and your knees are separated." ”
Although there was Duanmu Xiongchuan as a guide, Ning Shi still looked down a little nervously, this was the third day he had come to this forest, and he had practiced drawing a bow and archery for three full days, this was the first time Ning Shi was ready to shoot a living thing.
Sweat was already covering his cheeks, but he didn't dare to wipe it easily.
Suddenly, the stag craned his ears vigilantly, and the saber-toothed tiger stopped.
"Release!" Duanki Yukawa yelled dissatisfied. He found that Ning Shi was aiming for longer and longer, and he didn't shoot for a long time, and his breath was already a little messy.
was so frightened by Duanmu Xiongchuan, Ning Shiyi let go of his hand!
The saber-toothed tiger and the buck, who had long sensed that something was wrong, heard Duanmu Yuchuan's "release", and quickly ran in two completely different directions!
Boom!
Looking at the trajectory of the arrow, it is impossible to hit the prey.
Sure enough, the two beasts had barely gone far when the arrow, which was full of strength, deviated from its established track and slammed into the ground.
Duanmu Xiongchuan said calmly: "Your gaze is too sharp, not to mention that you are a beast who has become a spirit in the mountains, even if you are an ordinary person, your sixth sense can feel your strong killing intent." ”
After finishing speaking, Duanmu Xiongchuan looked at Ning Shi calmly, didn't even look at the saber-toothed tiger that had long disappeared in the forest, picked up the moon falling bow behind his back, and took the arrow.
The whole bow was drawn into a full moon, and as soon as the string was loosened, a crisp and powerful bow sound was heard.
The bow and arrow dragged through the forest with a soft sound, and shot into the distance.
With a muffled sound, Duanmu Xiongchuan slid to the ground neatly, and said without looking back, "Eat tiger meat tonight." ”
Ning Shi stood on the tree, enjoying the soreness of his body after opening the bow, looking at the tail of the arrow that he had gone deep into the soil, thoughtful.
After a while, Duanmu Xiongchuan walked back in the direction where the saber-toothed tiger had fled, and there was an extra saber-toothed tiger with a sharp arrow piercing his neck on his back.
Duanmu Xiongchuan threw the saber-toothed tiger on the ground, looked up at Ning Shi standing on the tree, and said with a smile: "Boy, I'll be a target for you." ”
Ning Shi was stunned.
"What's the matter, you're still afraid of hurting me?"
Only then did Ning Shi react, yes, my uncle is a strong man in the realm of military generals! The ability to save his life made the strong martial arts even sigh to themselves, how could he hurt him?
There is such a strong man to help him practice archery! What are you hesitating about!
"Uncle, be careful! Look at the arrows!" Ning Shi said, pulling his bow for a full moon, while recalling the technique that Duanmu Yuchuan taught him, he aimed with the method of soul locking.
With the sound of a bow, the long arrow infused with the power of one stone burst out, like an eagle leaning down from the sky to grab food.
Bang! Duanki Yukawa took a diagonal step, and the next moment, the entire arrow shot into the tree where Duanmu Yukawa was before.
"No, it's too far off. Duanmu Xiongchuan put his hands behind his back and shook his head and said.
Ning Shi adjusted his luck, put the arrow on the bow, and did not pull the bow immediately, but waited until his qi and muscles reached the point of fullness before lifting the bow, which was also like Duanmu Xiongchuan, without looking at people, suddenly pulling and flicking!
The feather arrow burst out, but still didn't hit anything, Duanmu Xiongchuan didn't even dodge, looked at the arrow that had deviated from the distance, but said in admiration: "It's a little interesting, come again." ”
Ning Shi drew the arrow again, prepared, shot out, and missed......
Ning Shi's accuracy has long been gone, and the difference is to calculate! Being in the wild, it is not only the strength, accuracy, wind direction, and branch interference that needs to be calculated, but also to prejudge where this target will appear in the next moment!
The reason why Duanmu Xiongchuan is a hundred hits depends on nothing more than two points: observation and calculation.
The average hunter can predict what is going on in the forest by smell, footprints, droppings, and even the growth of trees and the chirping of birds and insects. More hunters, on the other hand, can perceive the surrounding situation through the appearance of the area, the humidity of the air, and the changes in the wind, and can even push out what is happening hundreds of meters or even farther away.
Ning Shi, who was gradually entering the state, slowly realized this process under the guidance of Duanmu Yuchuan......
Airplanes!
Ning Shi shot an arrow, and Duanmu Xiongchuan dodged it. Immediately afterwards, Ning Shi grabbed another arrow and shot it again. Duanmu Yukawa hid again. Rather release and shoot again.
There are no imaginary flashy skills, no tossing and turning, no left and right bows, no three arrows fired at once, some just shoot faster than one arrow.
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz!
The sound of the bowstring vibrating was already in one piece, like a saw, trying to split the air.
Ning Shi's whole body was already wet with sweat, the green tendons on his arms were bursting up, and the temples of his eyebrows and feet were constantly beating. But he had no intention of stopping, his hands almost turned into a machine with a predetermined route, touching the quiver, drawing the arrow, and shooting it......
Duanmu Yuchuan is no longer as idly dodging as he was just now.
The arrows shot by Ning Shi were like dripping rain, dodging one arrow after another. What is a rain of arrows? from all directions!
In the small space, Duanmu Yukawa tossed and turned faster and faster. The arrows seem to be starting to have a rhythm, and they are no longer monolithic. They are like groups of three or five, one arrow makes you retreat, one arrow makes you lift your foot, and before your foot can fall, another arrow forces you to jump, jumps up and bends you, in short, makes your movements more and more uncoordinated, and gradually leads you into the trap of death.
Duanmu Xiongchuan became more and more frightened, and Ning Shi's growth rate was indeed very fast.
Whoosh!
A series of three arrows shot at the three empty gates of Duanmu Xiongchuan, and there were vital points everywhere!
Duanmu Xiongchuan, who couldn't dodge, roared and stretched out his arm, as fast as a phantom. With a sweep of his feet, a burst of leaves flew up.
Ning Shi, who was panting like a cow, subconsciously touched the quiver again, and at some point, the hundred feather arrows in the quiver had been shot.
Duanmu Xiongchuan was forced by Ning Shi to reach out and grab the arrow, not only did he not feel embarrassed, but he was happy for his nephew.
Ning Shi was panting like a bellows, and the muscles of his arms and legs seemed to be torn, and the pain was terrible, and his hands were even twisted by the bowstring.
But Ning Shi was overjoyed! The exercise just now finally taught him how to shoot the bow!
......
It was night, and the surroundings of the small lake were unusually quiet. Duanmu Xiongchuan lit a bonfire with a big grin, not afraid of an attack by a desolate beast.
He had already told Ning Shi the secret of surviving in the wild, so as to ensure that Ning Shi would be safe and sound when he went out of the forest in the future.
Within a radius of 100 meters, Duanmu Xiongchuan marked with the dung of the dragon beast, and carved out a territory that belonged to their two "dragon beasts" to rest.
With this smell, the low-level demon beasts on the periphery of the flood wilderness will have weak legs when they smell it, and they will not be bored at all.
However, Duanmu Xiongchuan also reminded Ning Shi that this trick only works on the periphery, and as he goes deeper into the forest, big demons abound, and at that time, this method will not only not work, but will also lead to death.
Ning Shi listened while his upper body was naked, rubbing the strained part with medicinal solution......
