Chapter 20: Comparing Arrows

"Shayi is back, how is this hunt? I heard a lot of noise outside, and it seems that it has been a great gain. ”

Seeing Shayi, Sha Chongmeiyu eased slightly.

"Patriarch Hui, this time I captured a leader-level tusked wild boar. ”

Shayi replied.

"Boss-level fanged boar, there shouldn't be any boss-level creatures in the training place where you took the kid, could it be that you're going the wrong way?"

Sha Zhong questioned.

Sha Yi shook his head and said, "I didn't go the wrong way, this time I was fortunate to have the help of Little Brother Li so that there was no big mess." ”

Then he told the story again, and the old men were surprised when they heard it.

Sha Chong's face sank and said, "Why are there still two leader-level fanged wild boars in that cave, who is going to scout that place?"

"It's Sha Laosan, that kid is confused on weekdays, he likes to be greedy for what is in the cup, and I'm afraid that he will be lazy again when he scouts. ”

An old man in black replied.

"Hmph, this time he must be punished well, if he encounters this kind of thing next time, he will not be as lucky as today. ”

Sha Zhong said with a calm face.

All the old men nodded, and then, Sha Chong brushed his beard and asked Li Mo: "The little brother is young, but he has the ability to shoot the leader-level long-toothed wild boar with an arrow, it's really amazing, I don't know which tribe's son?"

"Brother Li is from a small tribe in the north. ”

Sha Yi explained on the side.

"I see, it seems that Little Brother Li should also be the leader of the younger generation in the tribe. Sha nodded his head.

At this time, the old man in black suddenly said, "Patriarch, otherwise, let this little brother Li take Sha Ju's place." ”

"Uncle Ku, what's wrong with Shaju?"

Shayi was a little confused.

"Just this morning, Sha Ji went out hunting and was bitten on the right arm by a poison marten, which hurt his muscles and bones. We can't participate in the Ancestor Worship Competition, and we're worried about it. The old man in black replied suddenly.

"It's really time for Little Brother Li to come, but I don't know if you are willing to fight on behalf of our Sangchi tribe?" Sha Zhong asked.

"Patriarch Meng values it so much, and he should serve himself. ”

Li Mo replied.

Listening to this tone, the ancestor worship conference is a festival where many tribes gather together to mourn their ancestors, and the venue must be in the big tribe, and the big tribe can naturally collect more news.

Joining the ranks of the Sangchi tribe naturally makes it easier to move.

"Great, although Junior Brother Li's archery skills may not be as good as Sha Jue, but in addition to Sha Jue, I am afraid that there is no second person who can compare with Junior Brother Li among the younger generation of the clan. Shayi said overjoyed.

All the old men also nodded, being able to shoot a wild boar with an arrow at such a distance, although there may be an element of luck, but it must have some strength, especially if an arrow pierces the boar's head and can not be feathered on the hard rock, this strength can be seen.

At this time, someone suddenly pushed the door in and said loudly: "Patriarch, how can this ancestor worship conference be given to a junior who doesn't know the origin, even if I hurt my right arm, I will definitely be able to defeat the opponent at the ancestor worship conference." ”

It was a black-faced man who spoke, and it was obvious that he was Sha Ji when he heard this tone.

"Sha Jue, what you said is a bit too much, if there is no little brother Li to make a move, Saba will be dead. ”

Shayi's face sank.

"I don't care so much, in short, I won't give up the qualification to play to anyone!"

Sha Tu said cross-legged.

"Sha Ji, I know that you have been preparing for this year's competition for a whole year, and we all deeply regret that you hurt your arm. But the competition is about the honor of our Sangchi tribe, and this is not the time for you to be rash. Sha Zhong said in a deep voice.

"It's precisely because of the honor of the tribe that I won't give it to an outsider! Besides, didn't he just shoot the fanged boar with one arrow? I think it's nothing more than luck, and sending such a person on the field is afraid that I will lose the face of my tribe!"

Sha Ju snorted coldly.

"So, you're questioning my patriarch's vision?"

Sha Chong's face sank.

"I don't dare, but I don't agree with anything about this. If you want this kid to compete, you can pass me first!"

Sha Ju bowed slightly, but he was so stubborn that he did not back down.

Sha Chong frowned when he heard this, and Sha suddenly said on the side, "Patriarch, I think Sha Ju's worries are not unreasonable, after all, it is a matter of tribal honor, it is normal to try how Li Xiaodi's archery skills are, and more importantly, to calm the uneasiness of the clansmen." ”

"Then Little Brother Li......"

Sha Zhong looked over.

"If Brother Sha Ji can shoot arrows, it doesn't hurt to be able to compare archery. ”

Li Mo said with a smile.

"Nonsense, it's just a flesh injury. ”

Sha Ji glared and said angrily.

"In that case, let's go to the training ground. ”

Sha Zhong waved his hand.

So, the group left the big house and walked towards the training ground to the north.

And the people of the tribe heard about Li Mo's matter, and now they heard that he was going to compete with Sha Ji, and they all gathered on both sides of the training ground, talking about it a lot, and it was extremely noisy.

The training ground was empty, and there were several stone stakes, each with a small hollowed-out ball hanging from it, when someone moved a wooden box from a short distance.

Sha Zhong said at this time: "Then the archery competition is based on the traditional 'bee shooting' to determine the winner or loser, Li Xiaodi has no opinion, right?"

"Nope. ”

Although Li Mo didn't know the rules of this game, he didn't hesitate.

At this time, Shahu ordered the wooden box to be opened a little, and a small box was taken out from inside, which contained a fat pintail bee.

"Queen Bee ......"

Li Mo squinted slightly, and he already knew this game in his heart.

As soon as the queen bee is placed in the hollowed-out ball, the pintail swarm in the wooden box makes a noisy noise because of the loss of the queen.

"The rules of the game are the same as before, you are not allowed to use true qi, you can only use the power of the arrow itself. The winner of the three rounds is the winner of the three rounds, which one shoots the most pintail bees in the three rounds, but if the ball is shot, the number of the rounds will be reduced to zero. ”

Shazhong said.

Sha Ju looked proud, held a bow in one hand, and said to Li Menunu: "The one who comes is a guest, so you can come first." ”

"You're welcome to be down there. ”

Li Mo smiled slightly.

"Bee release. ”

Sha Zhong waved his hand.

In the distance, two people moved at the same time, one of them shook the rope to make the ball swing at high speed, and at the same time the wooden box was opened, and a small puffy needletail wasp appeared.

The pintail bee that emerged immediately flew to the ball, looking for the smell of the queen bee.

While the ball is moving, the swarm is also moving at high speed.

"Fifty ......"

Li Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, and he could discern the number of bee colonies at a glance.

Then, raise your arm slightly and aim your arrow at the swarm.

The ball swings at high speed, and the swarm scatters and gathers, to kill the maximum number of pintail bees without touching the ball, and not being able to pour true qi into the arrow, just relying on the power of the arrow itself to shoot, which is not a simple matter for the archer of the Xuanyuan realm.

"Bang-"

Li Mo shot an arrow, the arrow shot past the small ball, and a needle-tailed bee fell to the ground.

"Number of shots - one!"

Sha Hu shouted.

As soon as these words fell, there was inevitably a lot of discussion in the audience, Sha Zhong and the other old men all frowned, obviously they didn't expect Li Mo to shoot only one.

Sha Ju laughed even more: "Little Brother Li, are you stage frightened or are you really an archery to the point of this? For people in their twenties, it's not a problem to shoot three. ”

As soon as the words fell, he put on an arrow, glanced into the distance, and said proudly, "As for me, there are at least nine arrows in one arrow!"

When the words fell, the arrows shot like lightning, shooting over the edge of the ball, and a few pintail wasps fell to the ground in stress.

"Seven!"

The old man in black shouted loudly.

"Good!"

The tribe cheered, and the average result of the Sha Tu was nine, but now even if he injured his arm, he still achieved the result of seven, which was admirable.

"The second game begins. ”

Sha Hu shouted.

"Little Brother Li, don't be nervous, take out your courage to kill wild boars with one arrow, you will definitely be able to shoot a few more this time. ”

Sha Yi said on the side.

Li Mo nodded, raised his bow, loosened his fingers, and the arrow moved quickly, swooping through the swarm.

Then, Sha Hu looked down and shouted, "One!"

"What?"

"How so?"

Sha Zhong and the other old men were surprised, Li Mo's archery skills were much inferior beyond their imagination.

Originally, I thought that even if this young man's archery skills were poor, he would not be much lower than Sha Ji, at least he would be able to support the scene when he sent out to fight, after all, the meridians on Sha Ji's arms were damaged, and under a high-intensity competition like the ancestor worship conference, once the permanent injury of the meridians was caused, then it would not be able to recover.

Therefore, sending Li Mo into battle is also a last resort.

But he never expected that he actually shot a total of two pintail bees with two arrows.

"Hahaha-"

Sha Ji looked up to the sky and laughed, shook his head, and then aimed his arrow at the swarm.

An arrow was fired, and the old man in black lowered his head to check, and then said in a loud voice: "Eight!"

"Good!"

The tribesmen cheered again, and with eight arrows, the state of the sand was getting better and better.

Obviously, Sha Ji is already invincible, no matter how powerful Li Mo's archery skills are, it is possible to win if he wants to shoot twenty in the third game, but that is simply impossible, not to mention that judging from Li Mo's archery table in the two games, the probability of being able to shoot two in the third game is not high.

"It's the third game, Little Brother Li, please come on. ”

Sha Ji said with a smug face.

"Let's let Big Brother Sha Ji shoot first. ”

Li Mo seemed unhurried.

"Okay, I'll shoot first. ”

Sha Juzi also took the initiative, raised the arrow, took a slight aim, and shot an arrow.

"Eight!"

The old man in black shouted.

The field couldn't help but jubilate again, Sha Chong bowed slightly, and said: "It is worthy of being the first shooter among the younger generation of our tribe, and there are a total of twenty-three in three rounds." ”

"Little Brother Li, come on, as long as you shoot down twenty-two pintail bees, you can have one more than me. ”

Sha Ju put away his bow and stood to the side with his arms folded and smiling, with a banter on his face.

"Shaji, you don't talk cool there. ”

Sha Yi glared at him and said to Li Mo, "Little Brother Li, calm down, calm down, don't panic because of his words, even if the last arrow still has a chance to turn the tables." ”

"Then accept the auspicious words of Brother Shayi. ”

Li Mo smiled slightly, this Shayi is a man who values love and righteousness.

He glanced ahead, raised his bow and drew the arrow, and without the slightest hesitation, the arrow was shot.

Seeing Li Mo shoot the third arrow so quickly, everyone's brows were furrowed, it stands to reason that he should carefully analyze the direction of the bee colony for this last arrow, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be an arrow that gives up on himself.

However, it is not surprising, because there is no chance of a comeback in this game.
