Chapter 83: Hitting the target with a hundred steps
Qin Zhiyu learned the techniques of shooting an arrow through a hundred paces, transforming the shield, and eagle eye. These techniques were tailor-made for the bow and arrow.
"Swish, bang——" Ten meters, hit!
Qin Zhiyu didn’t know anything about the body movements and positioning for archery before. He just drew the bow and shot the arrow, as long as it hit the target.
But it’s different after learning archery techniques. It’s as if I have learned it by myself. The essentials of archery naturally appear in my mind, and my body naturally assumes the correct posture.
Qin Zhiyu stretched her body and stood sideways vertically, with her chest facing perpendicular to the line between her and the target she had made. Her feet were slightly apart, with the soles of her feet in an "eight" shape. Her left hand held the middle of the bow handle. There was a relief in the middle of the bow and arrow, so her hand would not slip when she held it.
Her arrow rested on the left side of the bow handle, with the main feather of the three feathers perpendicular to the string groove at the nock.
This feather is dark green, unlike the other two which are light green. It is perpendicular to the bow handle and faces outward, while the other two feathers are tilted against the bow handle and face inward. The feathers are light and tough, slightly elastic and waterproof.
Qin Zhiyu buckled the arrow tail groove into the bow string, with the top of the tail groove tightly pressing against the bow string. The arrow tail rod was placed on the ring finger between the index finger and the middle finger, assisting the middle finger to keep the string-hooking hand stable. The bow was stretched slightly below the base of the thumb of the bow hand, and the arrow was placed firmly on the bow while adjusting the bow push point.
Qin Zhiyu could feel that the bow was tilted, and the weight of the front of the arrow fell on the intersection of the bow handle and the base of the bow hand.
Push with your front hand and pull with your back hand, and the bow is still split from top to bottom. The front hand draws an arc in front of the upper body, and the bow is tilted at about 45 degrees. Every time you draw the bow and shoot an arrow, the distance the arrow is pulled remains consistent when it is released.
This distance is mainly determined by the relative position of the arrow launch point and the arrow head.
The word "leaning" came to Qin Zhiyu's mind. After fully bowing, she would tilt her head and face slightly towards the fingers pulling the string, and the degree of tilt should be exactly the same each time. She was used to using her left eye as the main eye.
The "Eagle Eye" technique gave her superior eyesight. Although it was not as wide and far-sighted as an eagle's visual range, and could not detect the activities of prey from a distance of 10 kilometers, it could definitely see every detail within two kilometers.
If you continue to practice, you will definitely be able to improve it. On the basis of the basic attribute bonus,
Twenty meters, a precise hit! She hadn't practiced much, but the coordination of muscles and nerves had become automatic, and she was positioned accurately.
Is this the starting point for advanced techniques? It allowed her to effortlessly achieve minor success in archery.
She could feel that releasing the bow was a step that required talent, and that the muscles and nerves had to be coordinated to a certain extent, so that the entire set of movements from drawing the bow to releasing it was dynamic and coherent.
Qin Zhiyu's string-pulling hand passed flatly across his cheek, changing the middle push gesture into a high push. His little finger hooked the back of the bow handle, and the entire upper bow arm pointed at the target, and every arrow hit the target.
"So cool!" Qin Zhiyu couldn't help but indulge in this unrestrained and free feeling.
After half a day of practice, she could clearly feel that she was beginning to have a telepathic connection with the bow and arrow. Positioning and releasing the arrow became increasingly handy, but retrieving the arrow was a bit of a hassle.
Because she had been told what to do at noon, she practiced her archery quietly alone in the rain. No one came to disturb her. She stretched her muscles and felt comfortable.
When I returned to the shelter, I received an unexpected message.
Wu Chufu said, "I came across a ruin that you can bring people in. There are six spots available. How about forming a team and going to explore it?"
Qin Zhiyu became interested after reading this message. Wow, how come people always encounter such interesting ruins, and they can even make preparations in advance and bring people in.
Why does she always seem to be lucky? She never knows where she will be in the next second, and entering the ruins depends entirely on luck.
As for the ruins, the more clearly you understand them, the better. "Any clues about the ruins?"
"No, little Feather, this ruins entrance ticket is obtained by opening a treasure chest~"
She still had some trust in Wu Chufu's character, so she continued, "Do you have any candidates for the other spots?"
Wu Chufu replied very quickly, "Song Yu'an and Tang Jinye are planning to come, but you're the only one missing. There are still two spots left, Xiao Yumao, do you have anyone to choose?"
Seeing this familiar tone, Qin Zhiyu seemed to hear Wu Chufu speaking in her ear. Wu Chufu gently put his hand on her, and waves of fragrance came.
No wonder Tang Jinye still misses Wu Chufu. I wonder how their relationship is going now.
As for the remaining two places, Qin Zhiyu had a candidate in mind. She was not in a hurry to reply to Wu Chufu. She first asked Bai Qianyu what he thought and saw if he was willing to go.
"Are you free these two days? There's a team relic event with a spot available. Would you like to go?"
Bai Qianyu seemed to be waiting for her message. Not long after she sent it, she received a reply. "Yes, just wait for me for a while, okay? Is the third day of the holiday okay?"
Bai Qianyu actually accepted Qin Zhiyu's invitation without even asking about the relevant situation. She found it incredible, and she didn't think she was that familiar with Bai Qianyu.
Is this the trust between people? She doesn't believe it.
As long as the people you send private messages to are friends, you can create a communication group. Qin Zhiyu was too lazy to communicate with both ends, so she directly created a group and added them all. The other candidate was naturally her new "general" - Jiang Mo.
She was not considering taking Locke and Lori on a long trip in the short term. Firstly, their appearance was too eye-catching, and secondly, it would be inconvenient to communicate with them. She would wait until they had mastered Mandarin with Wen Zhousheng before considering taking them on a long trip.
【Confirm to create group chat】
[Adding a friend to the group requires their consent. Do you want to add them? ]
【Confirm pull】
Of course, Qin Zhiyu had informed Wu Chufu, Bai Qianyu and Jiang Mo before creating it, and only after obtaining their consent did it get created.
The atmosphere was so lively that she didn't need to do anything to lead the conversation, and everyone was enjoying it.
"Hello everyone, my name is Bai Qianyu, and I'm Qin Zhiyu's friend."
Jiang Mo ran to Qin Zhiyu as soon as Qin Zhiyu informed her the reason for creating the group.
Wow, Bai Qianyu is so polite, I'll follow suit! Jiang Mo was comparing himself in his heart, you are the boss's friend, and I am also a resident of the boss's shelter!
"Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Mo, and I'm grandma's little follower!" Jiang Mo followed the rhythm mischievously and sent such a message in the group chat.
"Oh, our captain has a little follower!" Hearing this tone, he thought it was Song Yu'an. "My name is Song Yu'an."
"My name is Tang Jinye, nice to meet you."
"I'm Wu Chufu, the leader of this group of ruins. Thank you all for your support."
Everyone followed suit and introduced themselves, but Qin Zhiyu was too lazy to introduce herself since it was not like she didn't know her.
Now that everyone has gathered online, the next step is to discuss issues related to the ruins.
At least we have to determine the time first. We can't enter the ruins too late. Although the rest day this time is as long as fourteen days, no one can be sure what we will encounter in the ruins and how long it will take, so the sooner we enter, the better.
Qin Zhiyu collected the opinions of several people. Jiang Mo naturally followed her, and Tang Jinye's time was up to Wu Chufu. She wanted to be two days later, and Song Yu'an was also fine with it.
So after checking the time, we found that two days later would be the most suitable time, as both Wu Chufu and Bai Qianyu would be free.
Qin Zhiyu, "Then let's rest on the third day. Everyone, prepare instant food, water, medical supplies, wilderness survival sleeping bags and tents, ropes, torches, flashlights, and the like."
"We will set off immediately at seven o'clock in the morning three days later after accepting Wu Chufu's invitation!"
Everyone replied that they had received it, and Qin Zhiyu ignored the messages in the group. Bai Qianyu was exchanging information about natural disasters with Tang Jinye, while Song Yu'an and Jiang Mo were chatting excitedly.
Qin Zhiyu planned to take advantage of this time to go to the lizardman's stone fort to investigate. The longer the night, the more trouble he would have. If he delayed until he returned from the ruins, he would not know what the situation would be like.
This time Qin Zhiyu didn't plan to bring the cat. She wanted to bring Jiang Mo and the Locke sisters. This place was close and there were no humans around, so it was just right to bring them along.
Wen Zhousheng helped Qin Zhiyu and the others prepare supplies, and the two aliens set off in the sunset and evening glow.
"Boss, I'm going to teach them a lesson this time! My heavy sword is no pushover!"
"Awesome! The bow and arrow is awesome!" Lori also took out her peerless bow that was said to be inherited from her ancestors, waved it twice and spoke unwillingly.
"Lululu, one of us is doing close combat and the other one is doing long-range attack, there's no comparison, okay!" Jiang Mo was obviously sober and had a clear mind.
"I'm awesome!" Loli is a really young kid, and as an alien, she has a simple mind and is stubborn. She will not let go of a point she holds on to.
"Yeah, you're the best!" Jiang Mo dismissed Luo Li with just two sentences, otherwise Luo Li would have argued with her for a long time. She had tried it before, but later found that she couldn't resist Luo Li's patience, so she learned her lesson and let her be. Adults can't always argue with children.
Jiang Mo was very proud and felt that she was really sensible for a moment.
"Let's first observe the nearby terrain, find a depression with shelter to hide ourselves, and start with those who are alone." Qin Zhiyu made a brief deployment to let everyone have a general idea.
In fact, she was a little worried that Luo Li would act impulsively. Now it seems that Luo Li is still relatively sensible. She probably learned a lot from Wen Zhousheng and Locke in private. It is also possible that the experience of becoming Qin Zhiyu's slave made her a lot more sensible.
As they were approaching the stone fortress, Qin Zhiyu signaled everyone to be quiet and move more quietly so as not to disturb the surrounding lizardmen.
[Turn on alert]
[Scanning…]
There are no Lizardmen nearby.
Qin Zhiyu asked Jiang Mo and the others to wait for her there while she went to the stone fort to investigate. A group of people would make them too conspicuous, and she had the best physical skills, so she would go there and come back quickly by herself.
After walking a hundred meters, I finally saw two patrolling lizardmen who were taking a nap.
She gently walked around the two lizardmen from a distance, approached the stone fort in another direction, and continued her reconnaissance.
Yes, there are still five in the castle, a total of seven. Does that mean no one is standing guard at the pile of stones?
Did they withdraw their sentry post because we killed a lizardman last time?
Qin Zhiyu tiptoed back.
Suddenly, something was wrong! The other five lizardmen were all converging towards her!
Discovered!
Even though the two lizardmen nearby pretended not to look in her direction, something was wrong; they were being too deliberate!
Fortunately, the reconnaissance team clearly saw the movements of the other five lizardmen, otherwise it would be a one-on-seven fight!
Qin Zhiyu hurriedly sent a message to Jiang Mo, asking them to kill or control the two lizardmen who were on guard nearby, otherwise the situation would be too unfavorable for them if they gathered.
Jiang Mo also kept an eye on the messages and immediately replied "Received" when he saw the one sent by Qin Zhiyu. He rushed over with Locke, while Luo Li stayed where she was, choosing a good angle to act as a long-range "sniper."
"call out--"
With a "puff", like the sound of a watermelon bursting open, Qin Zhiyu suddenly saw a lizard man fall down in the night, hit by an arrow!
“Ouch—”
"You dare to kill my people?!"
The lizardman roared in pain and sounded surprised at the same time.
That's amazing, Qin Zhiyu couldn't help but sigh, Luo Li's archery level is at least silver or above, she is also silver, but the difference between the two levels is obvious, silver has different experience points, and the level is also very different, if Luo Li's archery level is calculated using experience points.
Qin Zhiyu saw that a light spot belonging to the lizardman disappeared completely on the skill display, and then he continued to rush towards the other lizardman with peace of mind. Since there is only one of you, it will be easy to deal with you.
She had to deal with the remaining one before the lizardmen in the castle arrived!
At this time, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky, adding a sense of solemnity to the dim environment.
It was drizzling, and although the rain wasn't heavy, it effectively covered up the sound of footsteps. Qin Zhiyu moved forward silently with the help of his body movements.
I don’t know how she was discovered, but that doesn’t stop her from killing them!
Draw the bow and shoot the arrow!
While Qin Zhiyu was moving quickly, he controlled his body posture, relaxed his hands slightly, and it deviated!
Mobile shooting is not like shooting at a fixed target. She is moving, and the lizardman is moving too!
So her accuracy naturally decreased, but she still managed to hit the target! Her arrow missed the lizardman's shoulder by a fraction of a millimeter.
The lizard man roared in pain, and was very resentful towards Qin Zhiyu who was rushing towards him. At the same time, he was extremely panicked. He could sense Qin Zhiyu, but he could not sense which direction Qin Zhiyu's arrow was coming from!
Not only that, he was also afraid of arrows in the night. The two arrows were shot in different directions. It would be fine if he was injured, but he saw his fellow tribesmen die directly, so he was scared.
But the person who decided his fate would not let him escape!
Run? Can you run away? Qin Zhiyu smiled coldly. Since the enemy had lost his composure first, that was her chance!
Qin Zhiyu slowed down his pace slightly, and the free arrows shot towards the moving target in front of him, and they hit the target! Not just one arrow, but every arrow hit the target!
Loli didn't know whether it was Locke or Jiang Mo's hint or she just got the idea, but she seemed to have seen through Qin Zhiyu's intention to practice on this lizard man, so she wisely stopped the arrows she was shooting in his direction and left the battlefield to Qin Zhiyu.
Jiang Mo brought Locke and Loli to block the other five lizardmen from the side, and they couldn't let them surround Qin Zhiyu!
