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

Chapter 68 Beast King Level?

Chen Fan walked into the warehouse, his gaze falling on the second bow.

The bow was almost as tall as him, its bronze body gleaming, and the bowstring taut, clearly indicating that drawing it would be no easy task.

His gaze shifted to the right, landing on the last bow.

This bow is nearly two meters long, with a jet-black body and bowstring, giving it a somber and menacing feel.

"Don't bother watching this round." Just then, a voice came from outside the door, and Chen Fan turned around.

Zhang Ren limped in. "Although you're at the third level of Body Tempering, it's too early for you to draw a bow with a draw weight of 300 jin. That bow with a draw weight of 200 jin is just right for you."

"Um."

Chen Fan responded, then asked with some curiosity:

"Uncle Zhang, how powerful is this bow with a draw weight of two hundred jin?"

Zhang Ren narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly uttered two words, "Very strong."

"Very strong?"

Chen Fan repeated himself, thinking to himself, "Of course I know it's strong, but just how strong is it?"

Zhang Ren seemed to read his mind and asked, "I remember, the first time you went out, you encountered an armored rhinoceros, right?"

Chen Fan nodded.

He remembered that even when they were several hundred meters apart, he felt a powerful sense of pressure emanating from the other person.

Later, he encountered it again, and this time he was holding the same bow with a draw weight of 100 jin (50 kg), and he was a little itchy to try it out.

"If you had this 200-pound bow in your hand at the time, and shot the armored rhinoceros in the head from within 100 meters, you could have killed it instantly."

"One arrow, and he's dead?"

An incredulous look appeared in Chen Fan's eyes.

That thing was the size of a heavy truck, weighing at least several tons.

"That's right."

Zhang Ren looked him straight in the eye. "The Armored Rhinoceros is one of the top-tier mid-level ferocious beasts. Its entire body is covered in scales, and its defensive capabilities are comparable to a light armored vehicle. Not to mention a pistol, even an assault rifle would have a hard time killing it. Instead, it would only provoke its rage. Do you know how fast an Armored Rhinoceros can go when it's in a rage and charging at full speed?"

"How many?"

Chen Fan asked instinctively, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

"30 meters per second."

Zhang Ren uttered a few words.

"30 meters per second!"

Chen Fan's mind was buzzing.

What does this mean?

The average person takes between 13 and 15 seconds to sprint 100 meters, which is 6-7 meters per second, corresponding to an agility attribute of 10 points.

His current agility is only 32 points, which is three times that of an average person, and his speed is about 20 meters per second.

And what happened? The seemingly clumsy armored rhinoceros actually reached a sprint speed of 30 meters per second? Faster than him?

A cold sweat instantly broke out on his back. Luckily, he hadn't acted impulsively that day; otherwise, even he couldn't outrun the armored rhinoceros, let alone his father and the others.

"Now you know why your father and the others avoid this guy whenever they see him, right?"

Zhang Ren said, "However, not all intermediate-level ferocious beasts have defenses as strong as the armored rhinoceros. In terms of firearms, under normal circumstances, an assault rifle can take down most intermediate-level ferocious beasts, while the armored rhinoceros requires a sniper rifle or a large-caliber machine gun."

"Uncle Zhang, do you mean that an arrow shot from this bow with a draw weight of 200 jin has the power of a sniper rifle?" Chen Fan's eyes lit up.

"almost."

Zhang Ren slowly said:

"Sniper rifles typically have a range of nearly two kilometers, and at over a thousand meters, they can cut a person in half. Within a hundred meters, the bullet can penetrate a three-centimeter-thick steel plate. Even a light armored vehicle cannot withstand such a shot."

This bow, with a draw weight of 200 jin (approximately 100 kg), can also penetrate a 3-centimeter steel plate at a range of 100 meters, and can rival a military rifle at a range of 500 meters.

Chen Fan looked at the 200-pound bow on the wall.

Have I become this strong without even realizing it?

This is only a bow with a draw weight of 200 jin. What if it were the bow with a draw weight of 300 jin that comes later? Wouldn't its power be comparable to a sniper cannon?

"Don't get too excited yet. I'm just saying this to give you an idea of ​​the power of this bow."

Zhang Ren coldly said, "Its power is undeniable, but to kill an armored rhinoceros with a single arrow, two conditions must be met: first, it must be within a hundred meters; second, it must hit a vital point. Otherwise, it will only injure it and drive it into a berserk state."

At that time, it could reach you in about three seconds, covering a distance of 100 meters. Can you imagine what it would be like to have an impact force of nearly 2 tons hitting you?

Chen Fan was taken aback, then gave a wry smile.

Two tons—let alone flesh and blood, even a large truck would be smashed to pieces.

Of course, if you can fire another arrow within the two or three seconds that the opponent is charging at you, the probability of killing them will be much higher. But how many people can remain unmoved in that situation?

"Uncle Zhang, from what you're saying, it seems like it would be much better if we were using a sniper rifle or a heavy machine gun. We could just hold down the trigger and turn the enemy into a sieve?"

"That's easy for you to say."

Zhang Ren said calmly, "Have you ever considered that even if the distance were reduced to 200 meters, let alone 100 meters, would the armored rhinoceros remain unmoved?"

"Once we arouse the other party's hostility, even we martial artists may not be able to outrun them if we are not carrying guns and ammunition. Not to mention, most people who use these firearms are ordinary people."

Chen Fan nodded upon hearing this.

Modern firearms are powerful enough to kill mid-level ferocious beasts, but the process is by no means as easy as it seems.

"This is only a mid-level ferocious beast. If it were a high-level ferocious beast, it would be even more difficult to deal with."

Not only does it possess defensive capabilities comparable to a heavy armored vehicle, but even large-caliber machine guns or grenades cannot harm it. Most terrifyingly, however, is its speed.

As Zhang Ren spoke, a deep sense of apprehension appeared in his eyes.

"Its speed?" Chen Fan couldn't help but ask.

"Approximately 100 meters per second."

Zhang Ren slowly uttered a few words.

"100 meters per second..."

Chen Fan gasped several times!

It is more than twice the strength of a mid-level ferocious beast, and its defensive power has increased by several levels.

Faced with such a high-level ferocious beast, let alone their own village, even Zhao Family Fortress, no, perhaps even Song Family Fortress, would only be destroyed.

Just then, a terrible thought arose in his mind.

"Uncle Zhang, even if it's a high-level ferocious beast, is it just so-so among ferocious beasts?"

Zhang Ren paused for a moment, then nodded.

"That's right. Above high-level ferocious beasts, there are also elite-level, commander-level, beast king-level, and the strongest beast emperor-level."

"Beast King level?"

"Yes, this is the most terrifying existence among the ferocious beasts. Even the weakest beast king-level ferocious beast, with a casual strike, is equivalent to a medium-range ballistic missile carrying hundreds of kilograms of explosives, easily flattening a street and wiping out tens of thousands of people."

A full-scale explosion would be equivalent to the simultaneous detonation of at least 40 tons of explosives, with a destructive power comparable to a nuclear bomb. Ten years ago, the vast majority of our cities were destroyed in this way.

Chen Fan was speechless.
