Chapter 31 Three Arrows
Faced with Geng Xuan's sudden request, Lao Shacai first pretended to be furious, but then became proud.

“You have good taste, you know that it is a good thing.

...Well, I can teach you a skill to make up for the loss of your "The Bedroom Chapter."

At this point, seeing Geng Xuan's happy expression, the old killer suddenly shook his head and said, "But you won't be able to learn the skill of throwing stones."

Geng Xuan asked hurriedly: "Why?"

"Because this is not a skill." The old killer stroked his sparse beard.

Geng Xuan nodded and said, "If it's not a craft, then could it be a skill?"

The old killer glared at me and said in dissatisfaction: "What are you trying to say? I said 'this is not a skill', because it is two skills!"

"Two?"

"This is a technique I figured out after I mastered the two skills of featherless arrows and continuous tracing arrows to perfection."

At this point, Lao Shacai's mouth curled up into a smile again, as if he regarded this as his proudest achievement.

He then gave a serious warning: "You can just dream of these two skills, but if you want to be as good as me, you won't be able to do it without thirty to fifty years of hard work!"

Geng Xuan whispered, "No feather arrows? Chain tracking arrows?"

The old killer said:

“The Featherless Arrow is a technique of throwing hidden weapons. Although it is not as strange and sophisticated as some other hidden weapon techniques, its advantage is that it is not picky.

No matter it is a flying knife, a shuttle, nails or marbles, you can use it right away. If you practice well, you can even kill people by throwing stones.

The chain of tracing arrows is an authentic secret archery technique, which not only allows one to shoot arrows in a row, but also allows one to make the arrows turn when practiced to a high level.

However, to practice this technique, you need to have a good bow first, and it would be best if you have a certain foundation in archery, otherwise it would be difficult to just get started."

Having said this, he looked at Geng Xuan who seemed to be lost in thought and said:

“I don’t recommend you to learn these two skills because practicing them does require a certain threshold.

Moreover, the improvement in your strength in a short period of time is very limited, and it requires long-term training."

Geng Xuan didn't say anything, but at this moment he was thinking about something else.

He recalled again the four cobblestone tracks that his true vision had captured that night, two straight and two curved.

“So, this seemingly simple throwing of stones is actually a hidden weapon throwing technique using featherless arrows, with the effect that can only be achieved by throwing a string of tracing arrows.

Not only can you throw multiple balls at once, but you can also turn in the air."

He was thinking about this in his mind. When the old killer saw that he didn't say anything, he thought Geng Xuan was feeling depressed, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

On the one hand, he rejected the other party, but on the other hand, he couldn't help showing off and boasting about his own skills, which made people feel itchy. Isn't this just teasing?

"Cough...cough..."

The old killer suddenly coughed twice. When Geng Xuan came back to his senses and looked at him again, he said slowly:
"Boy, these two skills are not suitable for you, but I can teach you another more interesting one."

"What?" Geng Xuan was curious.

"Wait."

Having said that, the old killer turned and went back into the house. After a while, he came out with empty hands.

Under Geng Xuan's curious gaze, he sat down again calmly, then reached into his bosom and took out a hollow tube that was only as thick as a pen tube and only a dozen centimeters long.

"What is this?" Geng Xuan asked curiously. "Blow darts."

The old killer said this lightly, then put the thin tube to his lips, his cheeks bulging and shrinking slightly.

It's like nothing happened.

However, the extraordinary vision given to him by the Eye of True Vision allowed Geng Xuan to detect something strange.

He looked in the direction of the tube and saw a fly resting on a tree trunk as thick as a bowl not far away. A thin needle pierced its head and firmly embedded it in the tree trunk.

Geng Xuan walked closer and pulled out the needle, only to find that most of the needle had silently sunk into the tree trunk.

Geng Xuan was shocked and turned to ask the old killer: "Did you do this just now?"

The old killer laughed and said:

"How is it? Not bad, right? Convenient, easy to learn, and can be carried around. The most important thing is that it is silent when it is used. Within ten steps, it can kill people without being seen!"

Geng Xuan thought about it, nodded first, and then shook his head.

"How powerful can a needle be? As long as you have a little skin training, you can easily defend against such an attack. The lethality is equivalent to a mosquito bite."

The old killer did not show weakness, but laughed at him:

"You are stupid. If you are strong, you should use more strength."

As he spoke, he put the thin tube to his lips and blew again.

This time, the bulge of his cheeks was much more obvious than last time, and the bulge and contraction were obviously more rapid.

Geng Xuan, who was standing nearby, could clearly hear the blowing sound, but it was no longer as silent as before. Apart from a slight abnormality captured by the extraordinary vision granted by the Eye of True Vision, there was no other movement.

He looked along the area of the tree trunk where he was aiming, but found no trace of the needle.

But his sharp eyes found a small wound that went through the entire trunk of the tree. With an idea in mind, he found a thin needle that was almost completely embedded in the trunk of another tree farther away.

Seeing that Geng Xuan did not speak after pulling out the needle, but just stared at the needle in his hand, the old killer said proudly:

"How is it? Is it powerful this time?"

Geng Xuan nodded: "The power has indeed increased a lot, but, at most, it can only bully the small minions who have refined their skin and flesh. If the body tempering realm is a little higher... after all, it is just a needle."

As he spoke, Geng Xuan seemed to have realized that this technique would be powerless against people who were slightly stronger.

The old killer seemed to be choked by these words and said, "That's because you have no brains!"

As he spoke, before Geng Xuan could reply, he reached into his arms and pulled out three even thicker tubes.

They are thicker than thumbs and each one is about thirty centimeters long.

Compared with the original thin tube in his hand, it was an all-round crushing defeat.

The old killer quickly spliced the three pipes together, making it into a hollow short stick nearly one meter long.

In addition to the hollow characteristic, Geng Xuan also found after careful observation that the opening at the end closer to the old killer was slightly larger, while the opening at the other end away from him was slightly smaller.

The old killer pointed at the "stick" and gestured around, then said to Geng Xuan: "Boy, I'm going to open your eyes today!"

As he spoke, he opened his mouth and took out a handful of things from his arms and stuffed them into his mouth. The tube that was nearly one meter long was held in his mouth.

Then, under Geng Xuan's stunned gaze, the old killer's wrinkled cheeks suddenly swelled up exaggeratedly like a toad, and the wrinkled skin was stretched to become smooth again.
