Chapter 88: Trial of the Longbow, Using the Upgraded Thousand Stars
On the way back, Shen Jue checked the remaining time of the invisibility potion; there were still 3 hours left.
It's nighttime now, and even at the fastest speed we can go, it will take two hours to get back to the cave from here.
A gathering place for wolves.
Aler, who had already returned, was radiating excitement. The old wolf king, Xinzhu, shook his head helplessly. Aler was still too young, didn't know how to hide his emotions, and wasn't very steady.
He's about to take over as leader, so let's give him a little treat this time.
The leadership exchange ceremony will be held tomorrow; this is a top priority for the wolf clan.
This was also the only time the wolf people could relax.
The old wolf king looked up at the moon hanging in the sky. "Moon Goddess above," he thought, "I hope everything will go smoothly tomorrow."
the next day.
Not far from the cave, in an open area, a large number of small hunted animals were laid out.
The wolves inside the cave also emerged from the cave entrance one by one and headed towards the open space.
Before long, the swarm of wolves filled half the area. Shen Jue, who was on higher ground, roughly estimated that there were more than two hundred of them.
Behind them, there were still wolves that hadn't arrived at this area. So many wolves, hiding in the cave, they really knew how to conceal themselves.
Once all the wolves had gathered, the entire area was filled. From a distance, they were all packed tightly together, leaving no room to even put their feet down.
Shen Jue waited quietly for the right moment to make her move. The control card given to her by the rabbit chieftain could control a group, but it required mental strength as a boost to use the card.
Shen Jue had already devised a plan. When she used the control card later, if any wolves became uncontrollable, she would launch a strong attack, forcing them to head towards the Lost Land.
To ensure everything went smoothly, Shen Jue carefully reviewed the details of the control card again before using it.
[Control Card: A group-type, one-time control card personally crafted by renowned card-making master Zhi Jiu. Usage: Select a target within a 500-meter radius. Within this control range, the controlled target will unconditionally execute the user's commands for 3 hours.]
Three hours is enough.
It turns out that the rabbit clan leader's name is Zhi Jiu, and he is also a famous card-making master.
Could those cards that the game system gives out in the wooden boxes every day be made by Master Zhijiu?
Thinking about it carefully, it's unlikely. However, if we put it another way, it makes sense. Hundreds of years ago, the rabbit tribe made a deal with the game system by handing over some of their card-making abilities to the game system in exchange for the game system's protection.
The atmosphere among the wolf clan is tense; the leadership handover ceremony is about to begin.
The old wolf king arrived late, while the new wolf king, Al, had specially groomed his fur for the inauguration ceremony, arriving looking refreshed as he took over the reins.
Just after the old wolf king handed over the badge symbolizing the leader to Ale, the entire wolf clan cheered for the newly appointed wolf king.
This is a great opportunity!
Shen Jue seized the opportunity, took out the large control card, and selected the gray-white wolf in the middle of the wolf pack as his target. There was no other way, since it was in the very center and the most conspicuous.
A circular area extending 500 meters outward from the target point perfectly covers all the wolves, and the coverage extends far beyond that area.
Shen Jue: [Command all wolves within range to proceed to the Lost Land at top speed!]
[Command assessment in progress. Command successful. There are a total of 568 wolves. 559 wolves will execute the command immediately. There are 9 wolves with strong mental fortitude, and control may fail midway. Continue execution?]
Shen Jue: [Continue execution.]
As soon as the command was given, the wolf pack below immediately headed for the Lost Land at top speed, their roar echoing throughout the entire forest.
Shen Jue held a longbow, carried two long swords on his back, and wore boots of speed, maximizing his speed.
Whenever one of the nine unstable elements in the wolf pack tries to break free of control, Shen Jue draws out a single-target control card, places it on the light arrow formed by the radiance of the sun, and then sends it flying toward the unstable element to continue controlling it.
The light arrow can not only be used to heal wounds, but also as an aid to locate targets. Although the light arrow will not cause actual damage after penetrating the target, it will reduce the target's consciousness.
Of course, if you seize the opportunity accurately, you can materialize the light arrow, which can sometimes produce unexpected results.
During the day, the longbow automatically stores the sunlight, and the arrows it fires are all formed from the absorbed sunlight; the same applies at night.
A well-stocked longbow can last for half a month, even without seeing the sun or moon.
With her current mental strength, she can condense three light arrows in one go.
It's just right for dealing with these unstable factors.
As for the small control cards, they were all from the stack that Master Zhijiu gave her. 60% of those cards were control cards, and there were very few attack cards, so she didn't feel bad using them at all.
If you encounter an opponent you can't defeat, control yourself for a moment, then counterattack, which greatly ensures your safety.
During the journey, Shen Jue constantly monitored these unstable factors, taking a picture if anything seemed amiss, to ensure the team was moving forward correctly.
They arrived at the Lost Lands without any major setbacks and witnessed the pack of wolves entering the gates of the Lost Lands.
Then, Shen Jue took out a summoning card.
[Summon Zhi Jiu, come quickly to my aid!]
On the other side of Thousand Rabbit Island, Zhi Jiu, who was teaching the younger generation how to make cards, sensed the summons.
He stopped teaching and said, "Children, that's all for today's card-making lesson. I have to go out for a bit, but I'll be back soon."
A unified response rang out from inside the school: "Grandpa Clan Chief, please rest assured, we will study hard."
Zhi Jiu was very satisfied. He left the school and looked around, but did not see any other rabbits.
That's when it responded to the summoning card's summon.
A dizzying sensation followed, and Zhi Jiu found herself beside Shen Jue.
Looking around at the desolate environment, Zhi Jiu: ? ? ?
He was somewhat puzzled. "You summoned me here just to see this? Wasn't it for the sealing?"
Shen Jue wasn't in a hurry and calmly said, "They're all behind that door."
Shen Jue pointed to the naturally formed cave entrance in the Lost Land.
Zhi Jiu looked in the direction Shen Jue pointed. She was immediately captivated.
Shen Jue couldn't see the secret of the cave entrance, but as a card-making master, he could certainly figure it out.
"This is the gate that seals the wolf clan?! How did it get here?"
Shen Jue: "Do you know what kind of place this is?"
Zhi Jiu: "What?"
Well, it seems that Master Zhi Jiu doesn't know anything about the wolf clan.
Shen Jue briefly recounted her experiences with the wolf clan to Zhi Jiu.
After hearing that Shen Jue had sent all the wolves to the Lost Land with a single large control card.
Zhi Jiu was greatly shocked: "What? You're so bold! Once it's confirmed that there are unstable factors on that control card, you shouldn't control it anymore, otherwise the unstable factors will backfire on the user's mental power. It's already so dangerous, and you still have the energy to do other things. You're really not afraid of death!"
Shen Jue: "Don't be so shocked, okay? There's no such description on the card you gave me. Besides, since I accepted this mission, I was prepared to take the risks. And, I hadn't even finished speaking. Nothing serious happened afterward, and we successfully lured them here."
Zhi Jiu wasn't shocked by Shen Jue's audacity, but rather, if Shen Jue failed, that large control card would be lost, and he would lack the materials for a long time, possibly unable to make such a card.
Shen Jue always took long breaths when he spoke, and Zhi Jiu breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing that there were no problems at the end.
Zhi Jiu: "Luckily you're alright. Now leave the rest to me."
