Chapter 113 Special Feature: Volley Fire! (Please Subscribe)

As Chen Fan stepped into the SUV, a strong smell of blood hit him.

The three corpses all had their eyes wide open, retaining the painful expressions of their impending death. Blood slowly flowed from their wounds, pooling into a bloody pool under the car.

"I'm afraid you can forget about getting this car."

He shook his head.

He felt no pity for these people, because if they didn't die, it would be the people of the village who would die tonight.

He slung the bow behind his back and snatched the guns from their hands: two rifles, a pistol, and several magazines, all loaded with bullets.

After carefully feeling around, I found the mechanism to remove the magazine, removed it, and put it in my bag.

The roar of the ferocious beast grew closer and closer.

Chen Fan dared not search the people in the car any further. Besides, since these people were after him, they probably didn't have much money on them. If he missed out, he would just have to accept it.

He then ran to the bodies outside the car, snatched the two submachine guns and the light machine gun from their hands, removed the magazines, and took their backpacks as well, before turning and running away.

"roar!"

Several beast roars sounded from behind.

Soon, countless dark figures pounced on the corpses on the ground, and a chilling chewing sound filled the air.

Chen Fan sprinted away and arrived at the village gate in less than half a minute. Chen Guodong was already waiting and quickly opened the gate.

Chen Fan rushed in in a flash.

"Xiao Fan, are you alright?"

Chen Guodong quickly stepped forward and asked.

Chen Fan gave him an OK sign and smiled, "Dad, what could possibly be wrong with me? Look at this."

After saying that, he handed the backpack full of guns to the latter.

"This is!"

Chen Guodong's mouth gaped open, his eyes almost popping out.

gun!

So many guns!

Then, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. Submachine guns, machine guns, rifles—if they were to break in, he didn't know how many people in the village would be injured or killed.

Only martial artists like Chen Fan have the confidence to fight against firearms; ordinary people like them are destined to be slaughtered.

"Dad, don't worry, this matter should be over by now, barring any unforeseen circumstances."

Chen Fan said softly, "Moreover, we've turned misfortune into blessing this time, getting so many guns for nothing. Whether we go hunting or trading supplies elsewhere, no one will dare to mess with us."

"That's true."

Chen Guodong nodded seriously.

With a gun in hand, even if you encounter someone from Zhao Family Fortress, they will have to be wary.

"Xiao Fan, now that this matter is over, we should go out hunting."

He said worriedly, "In winter, there will be far fewer low-level ferocious beasts, and we will have to hunt in more distant places, so it is best to prepare in advance."

"Um."

Chen Fan agreed.

Even if his father hadn't said anything, he was already planning to go hunting. He was collecting more and more cultivation techniques, and he was running out of experience points.

Speaking of experience points, those people gave me quite a bit, nearly 300 points. Adding the remaining 460 points from before, the total is 760.

He planned to go back and practice his movement techniques for a while to meet the requirements, then practice archery to max out the [Meteor Archery] skill, and then see how things went before deciding whether to add Tai Chi or the Water-Walking Lightness Skill.

Back in the warehouse, Zhang Ren wasn't surprised by this.

With a powerful bow that can draw 500 pounds, combined with Chen Fan's unerring archery skills, even if the opposing team had heavy weapons, they would be wiped out if they were caught off guard.

"What are you planning to practice tonight? Marksmanship?" he asked.

Chen Fan smiled and shook his head, saying, "Let's practice the spear technique in a day or two. Tonight, I want to practice the archery."

After these two battles, my proficiency in basic archery has reached over 80%. With a little more practice, I can upgrade it to level 9.

He had a feeling that he could unlock new features.

"Okay." Zhang Ren nodded. Since that was the case, he could also go and instruct others.

Since the village was of limited size, Chen Fan found five or six wooden stakes and stacked them together from front to back, which greatly reduced the kinetic energy of the arrows.

He ran more than 200 meters away and could barely see the bullseye without a torch.

He took out an arrow and slowly drew back the bowstring. With a strength of over 80 points, it was indeed a bit difficult to draw it fully. Therefore, he had been using the bow with a draw weight of 200 jin.

After nearly two seconds, he fully drew the bowstring and then abruptly released his fingers.

With a "snap," the arrow, like a firework exploding, pierced through five or six wooden stakes and flew through the earthen wall, disappearing without a trace.

"My arrow..."

Chen Fan felt heartbroken, wondering if they could find it by tomorrow morning. Even if they couldn't find it, he still had to keep looking.

These arrows weigh 500 jin (250 kg), so they're not cheap.

"The target lane is still too short."

He sighed, but his proficiency in basic archery had improved significantly, increasing by nearly 2% in one go.

He didn't even dare to imagine how much more proficient he would become if he shot several arrows in quick succession.

So he went and found even more wood, lining it up two or three times the amount of wood before running away again, aiming at the spot, and shooting an arrow.

With another loud bang, the arrow swept through more than twenty pieces of wood with overwhelming force, finally embedding itself in the wall.

Chen Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Worried that the earthen wall wouldn't be able to withstand the weight, he went to find some more wood and erected it there.

He sighed inwardly, thinking that he should practice archery during the day from now on. This was only a bow with a draw weight of 500 jin. If it were a bow with a draw weight of 1,000 jin or 2,000 jin in the future, even the city wall of Songjiabao would not be able to withstand such an arrow.

After firing a few more arrows, he felt a faint warm current rising within his body, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.

"It's a new feature!"

He was immediately delighted and quickly looked at the skill bar.

[Basic Archery: lv9 (0%), Traits: Strength 9, Extraordinary Strength 9, Slow Shot 9, Mounted Archery 7, Rapid Fire 4, Volley 1]

[Volley: Each time the skill level increases, multiple arrows can be fired at a single or multiple (adjacent) targets simultaneously. Current number of arrows that can be fired simultaneously: 2]

"Is it that amazing?"

Chen Fan couldn't believe it.

According to the skill description, you can choose to shoot two arrows at the same target, or you can shoot two arrows at two different targets.

And it seems that this is just the beginning. As the skill level increases, it will be able to fire three, four, or even more than ten shots!

This is practically a god-tier area-of-effect attack skill!

If he had unlocked this feature earlier, he would have been able to eliminate enemies at least twice as fast.

"Fortunately, it's not too late now."

Chen Fan took a deep breath and this time took two arrows directly from the quiver and nocked them.

He clearly felt that it was becoming more difficult.

Fortunately, the bowstring was drawn taut, and with a loud bang, two arrows shot out simultaneously, piercing through more than ten or twenty pieces of wood, and finally embedding themselves in the earthen wall.

Chen Fan looked at the skill panel and saw that his proficiency had increased by nearly 3%!

He couldn't help but marvel at how fast this improvement was happening.

On a sudden inspiration, he took three arrows from the quiver, nocked them on the bowstring, and with great effort pulled it taut before eagerly releasing his fingers.

A terrible scene unfolded. Unlike the previous two arrows which were almost synchronized, this time the three arrows were off-target. Only one arrow shot straight ahead, while the other two...

One branch was deeply embedded in the ground, while the other flew into the night sky and disappeared without a trace.

"I'm still not skilled enough."

Chen Fan felt that this arrow was probably gone forever.

I glanced at my [Basic Archery] proficiency level, and it's not even as high as it was last time.

At the same time, my right arm was also extremely sore.

"Let's proceed step by step."

Chen Fan gave a wry smile.

He rested briefly, then took out two arrows, nocked them on the string, drew it taut, and shot them.

Then the cycle repeats, each time taking about three seconds.

Meanwhile, proficiency in basic archery techniques is also steadily improving at a fairly rapid pace.

7.8%, 10.6%, 12.5%...

Even when the basic archery level was relatively low, the speed couldn't keep up with this improvement.

"As expected, the greater the power, the faster the improvement." Chen Fan sighed inwardly, becoming even more determined to continuously improve his various attributes.

However, drawing a bow with a draw weight of 500 jin (approximately 250 kg) to its fullest extent is very physically demanding, especially with two arrows.

Therefore, he would stop to rest every two or three minutes or so. During this time, the blood-activating properties would also take effect quickly, saving him a lot of rest time.

Finally, after about twenty minutes, my basic archery skills have been upgraded again.

[Basic Archery: lv10 (0%), Traits: Strength 10, Extraordinary Strength 10, Slow Shot 10, Mounted Archery 8, Rapid Fire 5, Volley 2]

"This time, we can shoot three arrows at the same time."

Chen Fan's face lit up with an eager smile as he took three arrows from the quiver at once and nocked them.

He suddenly let go.

A loud, explosive sound.

Three arrows were fired at the same time, piercing through the wooden stakes and embedding themselves in the earthen wall.

To describe it in two words: perfect.

Chen Fan smiled knowingly. This time, even if he wanted to try with four arrows, he would probably have a hard time drawing them apart.

Three bars seems to be the limit.

He looked at the skill bar and saw that his proficiency in [Basic Archery] had increased by a little over 3%, which he considered quite high.

If it's a single arrow shot, the chance is definitely less than 1%, and it's more likely to be a little over 0.5%.

However, it was clear that more physical strength was consumed, and the time to draw the bowstring was almost doubled, averaging three or four seconds to complete, after which a few seconds of rest were required.

Time passed by, and almost an hour went by, most of which was spent resting.

As a faint warmth rose, Chen Fan knew that his [Basic Archery] had been upgraded once again.

[Basic Archery: lv11 (0%), Traits: Strength 11, Extraordinary Strength 11, Slow Shot 11, Mounted Archery 9, Rapid Fire 6, Volley 3]

His level 11 basic archery is undoubtedly number one among all his basic skills.

Chen Fan's gaze swept over each characteristic, finally settling on the volley.

Now he can fire four arrows at once.

Of course, this is in theory, since his strength has to be sufficient.

However, if three arrows are fired at once, the speed should be much faster than the last time.

"Continue, but before we continue, let's conduct an experiment."

Chen Fan looked at the [Meteor Arrow Technique] in the skill bar.
