Chapter 046 A great hunting harvest!
Although Lu Xuan said it was an obsolete item, those who had witnessed the power and speed of the crossbow with their own eyes would never dare to despise or look down on it.
What's more, these weapons have extremely beautiful silver alloy appearance. At first glance, they look like works of art and look expensive. How could they possibly dislike them!
Lu Xuan taught them how to use the compound bow and alloy crossbow.
Whether it's a bow or a crossbow, they are equipped with an intelligent sight that improves the hit rate. With it, even beginners can easily achieve a hit rate of at least 70% after trying a few times.
If you have a little talent or experience, you can hit the target nine out of ten times, even if it's not perfect. It can be said that it is very easy to get started.
Moreover, the crossbow of the Star Alliance is not heavy. Even Wei Xiang, who is relatively weaker than men, does not need to hold it too deep, and at the same time, it is not so light that it feels heavy in the hand.
"Do you want it?" Lu Xuan asked everyone, holding up the alloy crossbow in his hand.
Li Tuo: "I want it!!!"
Zhang Chengming was also very tempted, but...
"Are you going to give us credit again? Didn't you say you'd only make this one exception?"
Lu Xuan nodded and said, "This is just an exception. So this time, there won't be a fixed price for food. Those who want weapons will need to exchange them for the prey you hunt. When you go back, you have to pay me one-third of the prey you get. This applies not only to today, but also to the first ten times you go hunting.
The crossbow comes with ten arrows. If all are damaged and you want to restock them, you will need to pay extra. The specific price will be discussed later."
Some people think that ten times of harvest is too much.
There were also people like the Li brothers and Zhang Chengming who said without hesitation: "I want one!"
Wucheng Wuyang and his son also asked for a compound bow each. The father and son have always used bows and arrows, and they are most convenient to use.
Familiar faces such as Wei Xiang and Xiong Mao also chose a bow or crossbow.
Some of the remaining people hesitated but were reluctant to share the prey and kept silent, while a few followed suit and asked for one.
With new weapons, everyone regroups and fights the pheasant again!
This time, the side that got the weapons really won a great victory.
Except for one or two missed shots at the beginning, everyone with a sharp weapon achieved remarkable results. Even if they couldn't hit the vital point with one arrow, as long as they could injure the chicken's wings and slow down the pheasant's escape, they basically hit the target with every pounce. In a short while, everyone had at least one or two pheasants in their hands.
Li Tuo was very proud, "Haha! Let's see how these stinky chickens can laugh at us this time!"
The others also had happy expressions on their faces, and they looked at the weapons in their hands with enthusiasm and pity as if they were looking at their own wives.
Only the five who were still stupidly holding machetes still had empty hands.
The five of them slapped themselves in frustration.
Haven’t you learned the lesson from the biological suit? How come you made the same mistake again without realizing it?
Everything Lu Xuan took out was good stuff, even the food was hot!
The five people hurriedly asked Lu Xuan for new weapons.
Sure enough, the five people who changed their weapons soon reaped rewards.
However, the increased efficiency also resulted in the pheasants in the vicinity being quickly hunted down.
Seeing that they were still eager to explore, Lu Xuan took the initiative to lead them to an area with more prey.
There are not only pheasants near the water source. There are also many wild ducks a little further west. A little further to the side, there is a nest of wild boars, which is perfect for others to practice.
"Lu Xuan, where are you taking us?" someone asked in confusion.
Lu Xuan: "Looking for prey."
The others looked at each other.
How do I find it? Can I just walk straight in one direction and find it? This isn't Lu Xuan's farm, where there's prey.
Lu Xuan: “Found it.”
Others: “???” Just like that, you found it?
They looked around and saw nothing but trees and weeds, no different from any other place, and no signs of prey.
Where is the prey?
Lu Xuan seemed to hear their thoughts, "Just walk a few dozen meters and you'll see it."
The group followed him for a while with half belief and half doubt, and unexpectedly they actually heard a sound in the bushes.
Wei Xiang said, "It's the sound of a duck!"
The others nodded vigorously with shining eyes. Yes, they heard it too.
Wu Cheng listened carefully for a moment and then added, "There seems to be the sound of wild boars grunting."
Others: “!!” And there are wild boars! ?
The tension suddenly became full!
Everyone unconsciously clenched the crossbows in their hands tightly.
Lu Xuan said calmly: "The wild boar is still far away and won't come over for the time being. You can deal with the ducks first, and then deal with the wild boar."
Everyone's attention was focused on the wild boar, and their enthusiasm for the duck was not as great as before. However, considering that the wild boar was ferocious and it was uncertain whether they could catch it, it seemed a good idea to catch the duck first.
With this thought in mind, they perked up and quickly found their target and started hunting.
"Hurry! Don't let them get away!"
"Outflank them! Shoot!"
Li Tuo, Xiong Mao and others who were in the lead unconsciously raised their voices, and the more they shouted, the more excited they became.
As several ducks shot by arrows let out miserable cries, the other wild ducks around them that were originally resting comfortably in their nests were all startled in an instant. They flapped their wings in panic, quacking and running around.
After a moment, Lei Yan noticed something was wrong and quickly reminded: "Stop shouting, the wild boar seems to be coming."
Lu Xuan, who was standing on the side watching: It’s not like, it’s already rushed over.
The others were confused. "What? You're here so soon?"
They haven't had time to pick up the ducks they shot.
Hearing the slight vibration of the ground and the increasingly clear grunts of the wild boar, everyone subconsciously wanted to run, but just as they took a step, they remembered that they were going to hunt the wild boar in the first place!
In the end, they resisted the urge to run away and dispersed in different directions under Wu Cheng's command, ready to support those who faced the wild boar head-on at any time.
Soon, the wild boar appeared in their sight.
This wild boar is actually bigger than the biggest wild boar Lu Xuan brought back to the village!
Everyone's pupils constricted as they looked at the two huge, sharp fangs near the wild boar's mouth and swallowed their saliva unconsciously, with a hint of retreat in their eyes.
At this moment, a sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a crossbow arrow whizzed through the grass and shot towards the wild boar.
Everyone: “!!!” Who is so brave!
The wild boar sensed something unusual and instinctively twisted its body, but still failed to avoid the crossbow arrow. The arrow, which was supposed to hit its head, pierced deeply into the wild boar's thick skin and flesh.
"Grunt—" The wild boar let out a shrill and shrill scream in severe pain.
Someone hiding in the bushes shouted, "Shoot!"
Everyone shot at the wild boar reflexively!
More than a dozen bow (crossbow) arrows flew out, except for a few two or three that missed, the rest hit the wild boar, turning this big guy into a hedgehog.
The wild boar's cry became more shrill, but because its skin and flesh were too tough, even though the crossbow arrow was extremely powerful, the wild boar did not fall down for a while.
Xiong Mao saw this and shouted, "Watch me!"
After saying that, he put the alloy crossbow into the space bracelet, took out the machete, rushed out with one step, raised his arm and chopped it down hard at the wild boar's head!
“Ouch—”
The wild boar, whose head was hit hard, let out a final scream, staggered a few steps and finally fell to the ground with a bang.
The people present stared at the fallen wild boar, which twitched for a while and then completely lost its breath. They finally let out a long breath and relaxed their tense bodies.
"Dead..."
"Did we kill a wild boar?"
And no one was hurt! ?
The group of people who came to their senses instantly became excited.
"Hahaha! We're so awesome! We managed to kill a wild boar without a scratch! I can brag about this forever!"
"The weapon given by Ah Xuan is really powerful." Lei Yan said, and couldn't help but grin.
"Anyway, no matter whose credit it is, we killed the wild boar! Hahahaha! It feels so good!"
This is a real big harvest!
We had caught quite a few pheasants before, but with more than a hundred people eating them together, no one could eat a single bite of meat at most.
Wild boar is different, it’s enough for the whole village to have a big meal!
If we stockpile it directly, each family can get at least five or six kilograms of meat!
Compared to someone who had never hunted a wild boar before, Wu Cheng was much calmer. "The smell of blood on the wild boar is too strong. Let's collect the prey first and bleed it out when we get back."
"I'll do it, I'll do it." Xiong Mao quickly reached out and picked up the wild boar in front of him.
Only then did the others realize that Xiong Mao was wearing a space bracelet.
"Didn't you buy the bracelet for your wife? Why are you wearing it yourself again?"
Lei Yan said complacently, "My wife was worried that it would be too much trouble for me to carry the prey I had hunted, so she forced it on me. I have to return it to her when I get home."
"You know what, having space makes things much easier. Look at you guys who don't have space. It's so inconvenient that you can't put away the prey after you kill it. Come on, I'll help you put the prey in. Don't be polite to me."
Others who didn’t buy space: “…” Look how proud he is.
Someone couldn't help but retort, "Lu Xuan's space isn't much bigger than yours, but I didn't see him showing off. You only bought a 10-cubic-meter space, so why are you so proud?"
Uncle Wu and Lei Yan also have space rings, and Li Jing also has a ring given by the village chief, but they were not seen showing off.
Xiong Mao snorted, "I spent two hundred kilograms of grain to buy this. Why can't I be proud of it? If you're jealous, you can also exchange it."
The man curled his lips and said, "The village chief has already bought a public one. My family doesn't have that many things that are afraid of spoiling to be stored. There is no need to waste so much food."
Several people nearby nodded in agreement.
How do you choose between 10 to 20 kilograms of vegetables that are afraid of going bad and 200 kilograms of grain? Do you even need to think about it?
But... this is the truth, whether you want it or not is another matter.
A few people glanced at Xiong Mao's bracelet inconspicuously, with lingering envy and excitement in their eyes.
After Xiong Mao finished showing off, he was reminded by them that he was able to own the space bracelet because of Lu Xuan, and he couldn't help feeling a little sad.
He looked down at the machete in his hand that was still stained with pig blood. Tsk, Lu Xuan’s ability to grow grains and vegetables is indeed amazing. It’s quite capable to be able to exchange treasures with gods.
But if you want to survive in the mountains, you still have to rely on your personal fighting ability in the end.
In this regard, he thinks he is no worse than Lu Xuan!
Xiong Mao thought that Lu Xuan seemed to have not made any move during the whole journey, so he deliberately asked Lu Xuan, "Come to think of it, why didn't you attack? Are you afraid?"
