Chapter 607 Entering the Mountains

The people in the fifth team were also waiting, waiting to see if the newly arrived officer shared the same thoughts as Master Lan, and whether he still cared about Fang Xiyue.

If they don't care, then they can't be blamed.

Fang Xiyue even had a premonition that the people from Team Five might make a move against her in the next two days.

Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, another girl appeared in the hunting party.

Because of her, she even left the fifth team, and the two girls formed a team together.

Fang Xiyue was happy; even if she was only hunting small prey on the outskirts, at least she was safe.

After hearing this, Shu Yu didn't know whether to say she was lucky or unlucky, but she was very happy to have such a companion.

Actually, she didn't want to team up with those men either. When she saw them declining, she didn't say anything, thinking that she could take this opportunity to go into the mountains alone.

Fang Xiyue was also very curious about Shu Yu, especially after seeing that she had chosen a bow and arrow. She couldn't help but ask, "Do you know how to shoot arrows? It's rare for a woman to know how to shoot arrows."

Shu Yu pursed her lips and said softly, "I've practiced before, but archery is a little different from this. I need to practice on the outside first, and then go in when I'm familiar with it. What do you think?"

“Of course, if you go deep into the mountains without knowing the area, you’ll die.” Fang Xiyue said seriously, “You’re absolutely right.”

Shu Yu sighed, "That's what most normal people would think, right?"

She did learn archery in modern times. Whether it was a fixed or moving target, even if she couldn't hit the bullseye, she would still hit the eight or nine rings, which was a very impressive result.

Back then, some people even joked with her, saying she could participate in the Olympics.

However, back then, bows and arrows were only used for recreational activities in clubs or archery ranges, and the bows and arrows were all specially made. They were completely different from the traditional natural bows and arrows that we carry on our backs today. She had to get used to both the weight and the feel of them all again.

Fortunately, she wasn't in a hurry.

As they talked, they had almost reached the foot of the mountain.

As they began to venture closer to the mountains and forests, the two became much more cautious in their movements.

Shu Yu keenly noticed that Fang Xiyue changed completely as soon as she entered the mountain. She walked very lightly, kept her eyes and ears open, and was extremely alert, as if she were a completely different person from her previous sluggish behavior.

It was as if this person belonged to this mountain forest.

Shu Yu's eyes lit up. Ever since Fang Xiyue learned that she was a year older than her, she had insisted on walking in front.

“I’ll watch the way ahead. I can tell if there’s prey by the footprints on the ground. You follow behind me. If you see any tracks, then you can try your luck.”

Shu Yu watched her retreating figure and could only nod, "Okay."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Fang Xiyue suddenly squatted down, turned her head, and said with shining eyes, "There should be pheasants ahead. I saw pheasant droppings, and they're fresh."

Shu Yu held the bow and arrows horizontally in front of him. "Really? Let's go take a look."

The two moved even more quietly, and Fang Xiyue spotted the tender leaves the pheasant had eaten. Following the trail, they soon saw a pheasant cautiously turning its neck from side to side, its bright feathers fluttering, before it lowered its head and ate an insect.

Shu Yu nocked the arrow, slowly straightened his arm, squinted, and aimed at the pheasant.

With a "whoosh," the arrow tip flew straight forward.
