High-level martial arts: Invincibility starts with basic archery.

Chapter 14 was a pleasant surprise, but not much.

Inside the room, the woman looked indignant, while Chen Guodong sat to one side, his face full of worry.

The little boy watched this scene with a sense of bewilderment. Just then, a figure appeared at the door. He excitedly ran up and hugged Chen Fan's leg.

"Brother, you're back."

"Um."

Chen Fan smiled and patted his son's head, then looked at his parents inside the house and asked curiously, "Dad, Mom, what happened? I just heard you mention Li Family Village outside. Did our villagers have a conflict with them? Was anyone injured?"

"Don't worry, no one is hurt."

Chen Guodong shook his head.

"How could nothing be wrong?"

The woman couldn't help but exclaim, "They stole our prey! These people are nothing but robbers!"

"Alright, let bygones be bygones," Chen Guodong frowned and gestured to the woman with his eyes. Xiao Chen was immature, but Xiao Fan was different. If he overheard, it would only cause him more trouble.

The woman opened her mouth, "Let's eat first."

Chen Fan frowned; no one could accept what he had just said.

Moreover, this matter seems quite important.

"Dad, Mom, what happened? I'm part of the village too, aren't I? Besides, Mom, if you know about this, then there must be quite a few other people who know as well. I can just ask others later, can't I?"

The woman looked at Chen Guodong with a hint of resentment. He hesitated for a few seconds, then finally sighed, "Alright, I'll tell you then. After you hear it, don't act impulsively."

After listening to his account, Chen Fan finally understood what had happened.

It turned out that the father had led the hunting team away from the village to check the traps in various places, but they had no luck. Just as they were about to reach the last trap, a wildebeest that seemed to be frightened came galloping towards them.

This horse is tall, nearly two meters, and is famous for having a single horn on its head. It is considered the largest among low-level ferocious beasts.

They were initially delighted, but then could only sigh in despair, because wildebeest in their prime had no ranged attack methods and were simply unable to do anything to their opponents.

When the wildebeest saw them, it was naturally terrified and changed direction. As a result, it fell into the trap they had dug. It was like a pie falling from the sky, and everyone was grinning from ear to ear.

However, Chen Guodong had a bad feeling. The wildebeest was obviously being chased. Perhaps those people were behind it, but they had only temporarily left behind because they were slow. He had to take the prey out of the trap as soon as possible, otherwise, things might get complicated.

Unfortunately, just as they were halfway through their work, people from Lijia Village appeared, leading to an argument. The other side argued that they had spotted the wildebeest first and that everyone who saw it should have a share, which the villagers naturally refused.

However, the people of Lijiazhai gradually discovered that not only were there fewer people on the other side, but the Wei brothers also seemed to be absent. Fourteen against eight, almost double.

So, the Li family village insisted on taking it all, leaving not a single piece of meat. In the past, both sides were evenly matched and neither was willing to back down; perhaps this wildebeest would have been split in half.

But now that the Wei brothers are gone and there are fewer people, if a fight really breaks out, and the other side still has archers, the one who will suffer will be their own village. In the end, they will not only fail to get the prey, but also suffer wounded.

In this world, the consequences of being injured are self-evident.

Therefore, the villagers could only watch helplessly as the other side destroyed the trap, took the prey, and left, only to be mocked and ridiculed before leaving.

"That's how it is. It's my fault." Chen Guodong sighed. He hadn't planned to tell anyone about this after he came back, as it would damage morale.

As a result, on the way back, someone in the group was very angry and spoke out, which made many people aware of it.

People always need to vent, and he understands that.

"Dad, I think you did the right thing."

Chen Fan nodded. "If we had clashed with them back then, it would have been a lose-lose situation. We almost lost everything. Without you, the rest of the village wouldn't have survived."

He sighed inwardly. In this world, one has to fight not only ferocious beasts but also people. Perhaps, people are more dangerous than ferocious beasts.

Chen Guodong glanced at him with some surprise.

He thought Chen Fan would get very excited and yell that he would fight those people to the death.

The woman beside her also fell silent. She understood this principle all too well, but even if she understood, she would still curse, even if it was useless.

"Alright, sit down and eat first. You've been training all day."

Chen Fan nodded and sat down around the dining table with his younger brother.

Dinner was the same as yesterday: a bowl of thin porridge and a plate of sliced ​​meat.

"Xiao Fan, eat more."

Chen Guodong picked up a few pieces of meat and was about to put them into Chen Fan's bowl, but the latter stopped him with his chopsticks. "Dad, you eat. I'll just have one or two pieces. And then, there's something else I want to tell you."

Chen Guodong was taken aback. This was the first time he had seen such a serious expression on his son's face. He subconsciously put down his chopsticks. "What is it?"

"I think I'll go hunting with the hunting party tomorrow."

"What?"

Chen Guodong and his wife exclaimed in surprise at almost the same time.

Then, the woman decisively said, "No! How old are you? Do you know how dangerous it is? What if something happens?"

Chen Guodong glanced at his wife and nodded, saying, "Xiao Fan, I understand you want to do your part for the village. You've been practicing archery day and night these past few days, but it's only been a few days. How about this, you can practice for another month or two before coming out with us."

The woman's lips moved, but she swallowed the words that were about to come out.

"Brother, please don't go, okay? It's dangerous outside." Chen Chen, the younger brother, looked at Chen Fan with pleading eyes. Even such a young child knew what going out meant.

Chen Fan shook his head firmly and said directly, "Dad, I have my reasons for saying this. After we finish eating, come with me to the warehouse, and you'll understand everything then."

Wait a month or two?

He seriously doubted whether the village could hold out for so long.

Chen Guodong and the woman looked at each other in bewilderment.

Where does Xiao Fan get his confidence to say such things? Did he really learn archery in just two or three days? Even if he did, it would only be the basics, right?

In the end, Chen Guodong nodded. Whether he agreed or not, he could decide after reading it.

After the family finished dinner, Chen Fan led Chen Guodong toward the warehouse. The woman was worried, so she brought Chen Chen along, and the whole family of four set off together.

The lame man stared in disbelief at the sight.

What's going on here?

Isn't this archery practice?

Why bring so many people?

Chen Fan smiled slightly at him and picked up the sixty-pound longbow beside him.

At this moment, Chen Guodong narrowed his eyes and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

If he remembered correctly, Xiao Fan was practicing with the 40-pound bow yesterday, right? When did he switch to a 60-pound one?

If you're talking about using a 40-pound bow to hunt low-level ferocious beasts, that's a bit risky. But a 60-pound bow is enough to kill most low-level ferocious beasts, and you can even wear down some mid-level ones.

He admitted that Chen Fan had given him a pleasant surprise, but it wasn't enough.
