Suddenly, Xuan paused and stopped. Meng Yuqing asked softly with some confusion.
"Why did you suddenly stop leaving?"
"They're over there. I have something to tell them."
After saying that, Xuan changed direction and trotted over.
After a while, Meng Yuqing saw Bo and a dozen of his tribesmen carrying prey and walking towards the tribe.
Seeing Xuan running towards them, Bo and the others immediately stopped and waited, "Xuan, do you have something to talk to us about?"
Xuan slowed down his pace and walked over. "The tribe will go to the market in half a month. If you want to go, prepare yourself during this period and come with us."
This news really surprised Bo. They knew that the market existed, but they rarely went there. Every time they went, they only exchanged salt, and not much.
They orcs can hunt wild beasts to eat raw meat and drink their blood, so the salt they exchange for is basically fed to the sub-beasts, but it is still not enough.
Sometimes sub-beasts even need to follow them to eat raw meat and drink beast blood.
Now their few remaining sub-beasts are in the Qingshan tribe, and they no longer need to worry about them. The other orcs have also settled down here peacefully, waiting for the day when the Qingshan tribe will accept them. There is almost no pressure on them at this stage.
In other words, as long as they work hard at hunting and prepare well during this period, they can go to the market with the people of the Qingshan tribe to exchange for some things that they wanted to exchange but couldn't before.
Thinking of this, their expressions became happy.
"We understand. We will make good preparations during this period." Bo nodded, his tone full of excitement that could not be concealed.
Since the news had been fully communicated, Xuan did not stay any longer. He nodded to Bo and the others, then took Meng Yuqing and left with them.
When passing by the square, Meng Yuqing saw a dozen sub-beasts practicing archery with bows and arrows.
They actually made a target without any instruction, but compared to the real world, their target was several times larger, probably made based on the size of a medium-sized wild beast.
They collected grass that was everywhere and tied it together, then stacked it up in circles to expand the area, and finally dyed the middle part with animal blood to serve as the bull's eye.
Another horizontal line was dug fifty meters away, and everyone fired behind the line.
Seeing that Meng Yuqing was interested in this, Xuan stopped.
"Xuan, they actually used me as a target." Meng Yuqing crawled forward, lying on Xuan's neck.
"Is this thing called a target? That's what you call it where you are." Xuan didn't dare to move and could only look straight ahead.
"Yes, what do you call this?" Meng Yuqing looked intently at the people practicing archery not far away.
Xuan was stunned by the question, "I don't know, I haven't seen this before. When we went out today, it wasn't even in the square."
Hearing Xuan say this, Meng Yuqing understood. They had just started using this today. Xuan had gone out hunting a few days ago, so he didn't know when the people in the tribe started doing this.
He patted Xuan's neck gently and said, "Put me down, let's go ask."
Xuan lowered his body and Meng Yuqing slid down from him. After Xuan turned into a human form, the two of them walked towards the crowd of people shooting arrows together.
"Yuqing, Xuan, you are here! Come and see this we made, it is specially used for practicing archery." Someone in the crowd saw them coming and immediately greeted them enthusiastically.
When the others heard the sound, they also looked over.
"Is this what you made today? What's it called?" Meng Yuqing immediately trotted over.
"I've been working on it for several days and just finished it today. I haven't named it yet. I originally wanted to make it out of wood, but I found that it soon became full of holes and became difficult to use." Liuxi walked over and shook his head and said.
"Yes, then we thought it would be great if there was something that could pull out the arrow without leaving any traces," another person continued.
"Later, when we shot the arrow off-center at a pile of grass on the side, we discovered that the pile quickly returned to its original shape after we retrieved the arrow. So we thought of tying all the grass together and weaving it into a flat surface that we could use specifically for archery." Shushu also ran over and said with a smile.
"Great!" Meng Yuqing gave them a thumbs up. When he practiced archery before, he would just find a tree as a mark and start practicing without thinking of making a target.
He didn't expect that the people in the tribe actually thought of it and did it, which made him sigh at their wisdom.
They are simple but not stupid.
If you don't have a system, don't receive education, and don't have the wisdom accumulated by the country over 5,000 years, you are actually no different from them.
Just as he was daydreaming, Liuxi came over and handed him a bow, "Yuqing, do you want to try it?"
Looking at the bow in front of him and the target not far away, he suddenly felt itchy.
"Okay, I'll try."
Take the bow, walk behind the marked horizontal line and look at the target.
Put the arrow on the bow and draw it fully.
"call out--"
The arrow flew out and everyone watched nervously.
One arrow.
Hit the bull's eye.
"Wow--"
Cheers were heard all around, and everyone surrounded Meng Yuqing.
"Yuqing, you are so amazing."
"It hit the center in one shot."
"As expected of someone who can catch the white-spotted beast."
Hearing this, Meng Yuqing touched his nose guiltily. He knew exactly what the situation was at that time, and it was more or less a matter of luck.
And there was a system to conceal his breath, so the white-spotted beast's attention was all on Xuan.
This gave him the opportunity to take advantage of and successfully launch a sneak attack.
Except for the system covering up the aura, everything else was told to Xia in full.
However, Xia’s role was still exaggerated during subsequent promotions.
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm for archery, Meng Yuqing understood why Xia did this.
Those who were shooting arrows here were all sub-beasts, so after Xuan greeted them at the beginning, he stepped aside.
He stood outside the crowd and looked at Meng Yuqing who was surrounded by everyone, with a hint of smile in his eyes.
When Meng Yuqing finally escaped from the crowd, it was already evening.
"Yuqing, our archer hasn't been named yet. Why don't you give him one?"
Everyone said before parting.
"Shall I give it a name? Then let's call it Target."
"Target? Okay, let's call it Target."
Seeing that they had packed up their things and were heading home, Meng Yuqing also walked towards Xuan.
Xuan stood aside, watching Meng Yuqing walking towards him step by step. The setting sun with his back cast a layer of light on him. He waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Let's go home!"
