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

Chapter 19 Or should we shoot it with an arrow?

"I'll give it a try."

As Chen Fan spoke, he took arrows out of the quiver.

He was about to verify again how these experience points were obtained. He couldn't miss this opportunity that had come to him, provided, of course, that he could hit the target.

Fortunately, having learned from his previous experience, his movements were very steady this time.

When the arrow is nocked, one enters a state of perfect tranquility.

"call out!"

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

Before the black rat could react, an arrow pierced its head, pinning it to the ground where it struggled in vain.

It was still a single, swift, and decisive kill.

"sharp!"

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Experience points increased by 1."

A message popped into my mind.

Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief. His previous guess was indeed correct; he could indeed gain experience points by killing ferocious beasts, although the amount was rather small.

He glanced down at the proficiency level of [Basic Archery], which had increased from 4% to 6%, a rise of 2%.

"good."

He nodded to himself. Going out hunting not only allowed him to obtain prey, but also significantly improved his skill level.

Someone had already gone over and brought the black rat back, chuckling, "Look at this thing, its fur is so glossy and smooth, it must taste delicious! Xiao Fan, your archery skills are truly accurate!"

"That's right, another arrow piercing through the head. Even the Wei brothers don't have such amazing archery skills."

"Yeah yeah."

Everyone chimed in.

Chen Fan smiled, knowing it was just flattery, and didn't take it seriously.

"Alright, let's keep going."

Chen Guodong's voice rang out again, and his gaze toward Chen Fan was filled with relief and joy.

Thank goodness I brought Xiao Fan out today. In less than an hour, we've already caught two prey. If it were them, they probably wouldn't have been able to do it.

The hunting party continued onward, encountering several low-level ferocious beasts along the way. Some were quite wary, fleeing at the slightest sound, while others were a bit dazed and were spotted by members of the party before being notified to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan's arrows were always accurate, and in less than an hour, he caught three more prey: two black rats and a wasteland rabbit.

Everyone was laughing so hard they couldn't stop.

"This must weigh almost two hundred pounds, right? I've forgotten when we last had such a bountiful catch."

"Yes, it seems like it was that time when we captured a wildebeest, right? It weighed nearly 300 jin (150 catties), and the whole village ate it for several days."

"If it weren't for those people from Li Family Village stealing our prey yesterday, we would have been able to return with a wildebeest."

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere immediately fell silent.

"alright."

The bald man glanced at the speaker and said, "Let's not dwell on the past. Besides, today's harvest is no worse than yesterday's."

"Yes, yes, it's really not bad."

"This is all thanks to Xiao Fan."

Everyone tacitly skipped over that unpleasant topic.

Chen Fan could see the worry in everyone's eyes.

If, by sheer coincidence, we were to encounter the people of Li Family Village again at this time, would they again covet the prey in our hands?

I'm afraid so, right?

"We still need to become stronger."

Chen Fan's earlier joy dissipated. To be honest, if he were to encounter such a situation now, he couldn't think of any other way but to hand over his prey or fight to the death.

"Alright, that's enough for today. We've had enough prey. Otherwise, the smell of blood might attract those wolves, and that would be bad."

Chen Guodong said.

"Yes, yes, those things are not easy to deal with, there are many of them, and they are the most troublesome."

"Then let's go back. To be honest, I really didn't expect to be able to go back so soon. It feels like a dream."

"Hahaha."

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Although Chen Fan was somewhat reluctant to say more, he still nodded in agreement. His current physique was stronger than that of ordinary people, but only to a limited extent. The prerequisite for improving his strength was to preserve his life.

Moreover, with so much ferocious beast meat, we can gain a lot of potential points after returning home. Once our bodies are strengthened, we can hunt again and obtain even more prey.

"Let's go."

The group carried their prey and began their journey back.

"Xiao Fan, well done."

The bald man gave Chen Fan a thumbs up, "We owe all of this to you today. Without you, we probably would have gone home empty-handed again."

"Uncle Liu, you're too kind."

Chen Fan waved his hand, "If you guys hadn't found the prey, I really wouldn't have been able to find them."

This wasn't him being modest; it was the truth. The beasts hid very cleverly, and only an experienced person could tell.

"You sure know how to talk."

The bald man laughed heartily.

The men around him also laughed. They had been a little worried that Chen Fan was getting arrogant and didn't take them seriously, but now it seemed they had been overthinking it.

The group chatted and laughed for about half an hour when a figure appeared in the distance.

"It's a wildebeest!"

Someone with sharp eyes shouted.

"That's a wildebeest?"

Chen Fan looked over and saw a tall unicorn about thirty meters away, raising its head as if looking at them.

"It saw us."

Someone said.

"Of course, you can see him staring at us. That beast is really bold. He knows we can't catch him, so he doesn't even run away when he sees us."

"Hehe, as soon as we got close, it took off running."

The people in the group chatted amongst themselves, their tone tinged with a sense of helplessness.

"How about we shoot it with an arrow?"

Chen Fan couldn't resist the urge to try it out.

He didn't have high expectations; he figured he wouldn't lose anything if he missed, but he'd make a huge profit if he hit.

"Then let's give it a try."

"Xiao Fan, it's up to you now."

Everyone immediately perked up.

Chen Fan took a deep breath, drew an arrow from the quiver, nocked it, aimed at the wildebeest's head, and suddenly released his grip.

"call out!"

The arrow whistled through the air and was about to hit, but the wildebeest suddenly turned around and dodged it.

"So close!"

"This beast reacts too fast; it truly lives up to its reputation as the fastest among low-level ferocious beasts."

Upon witnessing this scene, even Chen Guodong gritted his teeth and sighed.

They could see that if the wildebeest had reacted even a little slower, it would have been shot down by the arrow, but it just missed that little bit.

Now that the wildebeest has realized what's happening, it turns around and accelerates, and in the blink of an eye, it will leave them far behind.

However, at that moment, another whooshing sound came from the sky, and something flashed by.

The wildebeest, which was accelerating, suddenly stumbled, took a step forward, fell to the ground, and let out a mournful cry.

"Varied!"

The bald man let out a gasp.

Before he could even utter the word "yao," a third arrow came flying in, piercing the wildebeest's belly and pinning it firmly to the ground.

At this moment, the wildebeest finally quieted down.

"Huff...huff..."

Chen Fan was panting heavily, his heart pounding wildly.

In a few seconds, he fired three arrows in quick succession, which was a huge drain on his mental and physical strength.

Fortunately, it succeeded.
