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

Chapter 21 Where is Chen Fan?

Chen Fan!

The Wei brothers are gone. In the hunting party, besides him, who else can use an arrow?

But how is that possible?

These prey were all killed with a single arrow, and apart from that, they had no other wounds. In other words, these prey were probably shot dead, and no one else was able to intervene.

Chen Fan, Chen Fan, he's just a novice archer, and he's only left the village for the first time, yet he's already caught so much prey? Is that even possible?

His gaze fell upon the hunting team surrounded in the middle, but Chen Fan was nowhere to be seen. Wang Ping and the others also slowly noticed this and had a bad feeling. But looking at Uncle Guodong's expression, which was full of joy, it was strange.

More and more people arrived from all around, and upon seeing their prey, they were overjoyed, with some even moved to tears.

"Ahem, everyone, please be quiet."

Seeing that things had gone well enough, the bald man quieted everyone down before pointing to the prey on the ground and saying, "Do you all know how we managed to hunt so much game today?"

Hundreds of people looked at each other.

Someone said, "He was killed with an arrow."

"That's right!"

The bald man was delighted and immediately spotted Wang Ping in the crowd.

Suddenly, dozens or even hundreds of eyes turned to look at them.

Wang Ping forced a smile and asked, "Uncle Liu, was it... was it Brother Fan who did it?"

"Yes, did Chen Fan do it?"

Zhao Feng and his companions unconsciously tensed up.

Their intuition told them that it should be, but without a definite answer, they dared not draw a conclusion, because Uncle Zhang had said before that Chen Fan was trying to shoot his prey on his first outing? The possibility was extremely small.

The bald man smiled broadly, his gaze sweeping over everyone present. "That's right, these prey were all shot by Chen Fan. We went out with him today, and apart from helping to bring the prey back, we were hardly of any help."

As soon as he finished speaking, a collective gasp of astonishment filled the air.

Chen Fan? Chen Guodong's son, the one who carried a bow and arrows this morning and was going out with the hunting team. Of course they remembered him; it had caused quite a stir at the time.

In their view, it was too dangerous for such a big child to go out. They didn't expect him to hit any prey; it would be a blessing if he could come back safely.

As it turned out, Liu Yong said that he had shot and killed all the prey by himself.

This sounds like a complete fantasy.

"You don't believe me? Hahaha, if we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, we wouldn't believe it either." A middle-aged man laughed loudly. "You didn't see how cool Xiao Fan was when he shot that wildebeest. Three arrows, three arrows in a row, so fast that we didn't even have time to react."

"That's right. The first arrow missed, and I thought it was all over. But then, whoosh! So fast! The arrow pierced the throat and brought the wildebeest down to the ground."

"His archery skills are truly amazing. In my opinion, with Xiao Fan in our village, we won't have to worry about going hungry anymore."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

In this world, being able to avoid hunger is a great blessing.

"Uncle Liu, you've been talking for so long, where is Brother Fan?"

Wang Ping couldn't help but ask.

He glanced around at the crowd again, but still couldn't see that figure.

"Yes, where are they?"

"Why haven't I seen anyone?"

The others also realized what had happened and wanted to properly thank this great contributor.

"Ahem," the bald man chuckled, "He's a bit shy, he's already gone back. But don't worry, everyone, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future. Come on, line up, let's get the meat."

Instantly, the atmosphere at the scene was pushed to its peak.

At this moment, Chen Fan was at home, looking at his mother with some helplessness. "Mom, I'm really fine, I'm not hurt at all."

As he spoke, he spun around a few times.

"Are you really alright?"

The woman still didn't quite believe it.

The younger brother nodded, also with a skeptical expression.

"yes."

Chen Fan sighed, sat down and took a sip of water. Although there was a lack of food and clothing, there was no shortage of water in the village. If they were hungry, they could use water to fill their stomachs, and if they were worried, they could heat it up before drinking.

"It's good that you're alright."

The woman finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "When you and your dad went out, I was so worried at home, afraid that something might have happened to either of you. Thankfully, you both came back safely. By the way..."

She seemed to only then realize something was wrong. "Why are you all back so early today?"

"Yes, brother, it's so lively at the entrance of the village! Did they catch some prey?"

Chen Chen stared longingly at Chen Fan.

"yes."

Chen Fan patted his head and laughed, "Not only did you catch your prey, but you had a great harvest!"

"A bumper harvest?"

Chen Chen was practically drooling.

"A bumper harvest?"

The woman froze.

"Yes." Chen Fan smiled and recounted the whole story, leaving the two of them dumbfounded.

"So, that means you killed all those prey with your bow and arrow all by yourself?" the woman asked, staring at Chen Fan in disbelief.

"That's not quite right," Chen Fan shook his head, "Everyone contributed."

Observing and being vigilant about the surroundings, and transporting the prey were secondary considerations. The main reason was that there was strength in numbers, which avoided a lot of trouble. Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether he could have returned safely if he had gone out alone.

"Didn't you still put in the most effort?"

The woman rolled her eyes and then said, "Don't worry, your mother isn't the kind of person who doesn't understand the bigger picture. In the past, when the Wei brothers were around, they were the ones who put in the most effort to catch the prey, and they never complained about the distribution. Now that it's you, I won't say anything either. It's just that if they could have stayed a day longer, that would have been so much better."

"yes."

Chen Fan also felt it was a pity.

It was just one day off.

When Chen Guodong returned with about thirty pounds of meat near noon, the house was instantly filled with laughter and joy.

"I didn't originally intend to divide it into so many, but everyone insisted."

He was both amused and exasperated.

However, this time, everyone else in the village also received a considerable amount, with each household receiving at least five or six jin (2.5-3 catties). If they ate sparingly, it would last them for a week.

"I'll go cook it." The woman smiled and took a piece of meat that weighed at least two or three pounds. She went into the kitchen. The rest was to be stored away. Fortunately, it was already autumn, so it could be stored for a while. Of course, it would spoil if not eaten soon, unless it was pickled with salt.

In the village, salt is more precious than grain. People only dare to sprinkle a little bit when cooking, and using it to marinate meat is a real luxury.

Chen Fan was eagerly waiting. Last time, ten slices of the Wilderness Rabbit meat gave him one potential point. He estimated that ten slices of meat would weigh about one to two ounces.

It wouldn't be too much to eat a pound of this meal later, would it? It would provide at least 5 potential points, and if it's wildebeest meat, it would be even more.

It's more than enough to strengthen your body once.

However, there was still some time. Taking this opportunity, he looked at Chen Guodong and asked, "Dad, do you know anyone in the village who knows any martial arts like Tai Chi?"
