Chapter 45 Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road

Not only him, but everyone else was also stunned, completely overwhelmed by this unexpected joy.

They thought four was the limit, but who knew Chen Fan would shoot another one from 300 meters away, making it five! Five prey! These antelopes are good runners and weigh much less than ordinary ferocious beasts, but even the fewest weigh nearly 200 pounds. Five would weigh 1,000 pounds!

If we take it back, it will be enough for the villagers to eat for more than half a month.

If it were rice, it would weigh at least three or four thousand kilograms, and would last even longer.

How happy would the people in the village be if they saw such a huge harvest?

"Hehe, Uncle Liu, you're not dreaming, this is all real."

Chen Fan smiled, stretched his arms, and said with some regret, "It's a pity they ran too fast, otherwise I could have shot another one."

"That's enough, that's enough."

The bald man waved his hands repeatedly. Even with just these five, it wouldn't be easy for them to drag them back. If they had another one, it would be even more difficult.

Thinking about this, he felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.

How could I possibly have a day when I'm worried about having too much prey to bring back?

The others gradually realized what was happening, and were also filled with surprise and joy.

Chen Guodong's eyes showed concern as he asked worriedly, "Xiao Fan, is your arm alright?"

This is a bow with a draw weight of 100 jin. Even the Wei brothers couldn't pull it five times in a row. A bountiful harvest is certainly a good thing, but if Chen Fan develops a chronic illness as a result, it would be a loss.

"Yes, Xiao Fan, actually two antelopes are quite a lot."

"Yeah, there's no need to work so hard."

Gao Yang and the others also sounded very concerned.

Chen Fan is now the team's main damage dealer. It's okay if any of the others get hurt, but not Chen Fan. If one day the team faces an unprecedented crisis, most of them will stand in front of him without hesitation.

"It's really nothing."

Chen Fan deliberately shook his arm, but thought to himself, now that there is plenty of food, perhaps it is time to talk about martial arts training.

He glanced at everyone and said seriously, "Dad, uncles and elders, actually, I am already a martial artist at the first level of Body Tempering, and one of the stronger ones at that level, so using this bow with a draw weight of 100 jin continuously is not a difficult task."

"Body Tempering Level 1?"

"Warrior?"

"What?! Xiao Fan, you've already reached the first level of Body Tempering?"

Everyone was stunned at first, then they all exclaimed in surprise.

They were familiar with the term, as the Wei brothers had mentioned it before.

They said at the time that the two brothers were close to the first level of Body Tempering, so they could use a bow with a draw weight of 100 jin. However, they usually had to rest for a while after drawing it twice.

And Chen Fan?

"Um."

Chen Fan smiled and nodded.

"No wonder, no wonder Xiao Fan, you're not even out of breath or red-faced. It turns out you're already a first-level Body Tempering martial artist." Gao Yang suddenly realized.

"Old Gao, didn't you hear what Xiao Fan said? He's not only at the first level of Body Tempering, but he's the strongest one at that level."

"That's the second level of Body Tempering?"

"Pretty much, anyway, he's incredibly powerful, even more powerful than the Wei brothers, hiss..." The speaker gasped, then a glint of anticipation flashed in his eyes, "Xiao Fan, is it really that strong after becoming a martial artist?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the others began to breathe rapidly.

Including Chen Guodong.

They were already exhausted and had no time or inclination to practice martial arts, but after seeing Chen Fan's series of performances and hearing what he just said, they were all tempted.

"Hmm, it really is that strong, and more than that."

Chen Fan looked serious.

"Uncle Zhang said that someone in Zhao Family Fort can draw a bow with a draw weight of 300 jin and a range of over 1,000 meters. That person is also a martial artist, but he is very likely a martial artist at the Body Refining Realm."

"Zhao Da?"

The bald man's smile faded, and he said uncertainly, "It's said that he can single-handedly kill a mid-level ferocious beast without a scratch."

"So, it's true?"

A person nearby looked incredulous; he had always thought the other person was exaggerating to lure people from other villages.

"Even Zhang Ren said so, so it's probably true."

Chen Guodong said in a low voice, instinctively feeling that Zhang Ren was not a simple person.

Moreover, Chen Fan's strength is evident to all.

"Uncles, before, food was scarce in the village, and we were barely surviving. Now that we have plenty of game, when we return to the village, you can all join us in practicing martial arts."

Chen Fan encouraged them, "Although the process will be long, as long as you persevere, your strength will increase, and you will be able to survive on your own."

"Really? Really?"

"Since Xiao Fan has said so, how could it be false?" Gao Yang said decisively, "Alright, I'll practice martial arts as soon as I get back today."

Count me in.

"Together, together."

"Haha, okay, let's all practice martial arts together."

The bald man laughed heartily.

They were moved by Chen Fan's words and longed to possess the strength he had demonstrated, but what was more important was that last sentence.

Rely on yourself.

Yes, in this world, you can only rely on yourself. As elders, they can't rely on Chen Fan's archery skills to survive forever, can they?

Just like the Wei brothers before them, the village could barely hold on when they were there, but once they left, it's hard to say what the village would be like now if Chen Fan hadn't stepped in.

A smile appeared on Chen Fan's face.

Even if Uncle Liu and the others can become martial artists, just improving their physical condition would make it easier to transport the prey back.

Of course, it would be even better if we had a car.

He thought to himself.

Zhang Ren, who was thousands of meters away, suddenly sneezed. For some reason, he had a bad feeling, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Perhaps I'm overthinking it.

The group gathered their prey together, used their spears as wooden planks, tied the prey to the ropes, and then carried the prey back in pairs, making the process much easier.

As for the extra one, Chen Fan stepped forward. It was only a two-hundred-pound prey, and dragging it back was not difficult for him.

Seeing this, everyone became even more determined to practice martial arts.

Along the way, everyone chatted and laughed, and even though the journey home was long, they didn't find it boring.

However, as they walked, more than a dozen figures appeared ahead, and for a moment, even Chen Fan's heart skipped a beat.

No way, it can't be that unlucky, running into people from other villages at this time of year?

Just then, the dozen or so figures in the distance seemed to have noticed this place as well, and their gazes met.

"Oh no!"

The bald man shouted, "They look like they're from Li Family Village!"
