Chapter 37 First Encounter with Demons, Archery
On the official road amidst towering mountains.
A vast expanse of pitch-black fog appeared out of nowhere, resembling a giant bowl half-overturned on the ground when viewed from a distance, making it quite conspicuous.
The malevolent aura emanating from the black mist caused all sorts of ferocious beasts in the surrounding mountains and forests to sense an extremely dangerous atmosphere, causing them to flee to more distant places.
Lin Zhou, who was trapped in the black mist, replaced one of the entry slots with "sense of smell enhancement".
moment.
A variety of different smells began to waft into my nostrils from all around.
Found it.
Lin Zhou turned his head to look to one side. Above the forest on the side of the black mist, someone should be standing on a branch, looking down at them.
The demon had a faint, putrid odor that stood out starkly among the many other smells around it.
Two entry slots.
The fire-breathing attribute is Lin Zhou's trump card right now, and he can't use it.
The second entry can be replaced at will.
After the tracking terms were replaced again, both terms confirmed the demon's movements.
"On the left, on the ancient tree branch amidst the black mist, that demon is looking down at our group."
at this time.
Lin Zhou immediately gave the location.
Everyone's eyes immediately followed Lin Zhou's gaze.
Give me the bow you're carrying.
Lu Ling spoke up.
Sensing the powerful energy emanating from Lu Ling, the镖师 (bodyguard/escort) from the Tiger Roar Escort Agency obediently handed over his longbow.
"Young master."
Lu Ling held the longbow, drawing it to its full extent. His body circulated energy, some of which was channeled into the arrow in his hand. He then asked directly.
"Towards this direction."
Lin Zhou raised his hand and pointed to the place where the demonic aura was emanating.
Swish! !
The next moment, the arrow, carrying a burst of energy, flew out suddenly, leaving an incredibly swift afterimage in the air, and pierced into the black mist in the blink of an eye.
when!
In an instant, a crisp metallic clang rang out.
"roar!"
A low roar, filled with anger, came from within the black mist.
"It really exists!"
At this moment, everyone looked at Lin Zhou with a hint of surprise.
"this."
"this."
...
As the demon moved, the tracking arrow hovering in front of Lin Zhou locked onto any direction the demon was trying to escape.
Quickly point them out one by one.
Lu Ling, standing to the side, held a longbow and could quickly draw it to its full extent each time.
Swish swish! !
A series of swift arrows flew out, producing a sharp, piercing sound as they entered the thick black fog.
at this time.
The old man in black, who was with his grandson, saw Lin Zhou's eyes open as if he had opened a third eye, and he quickly pointed out the demons in the black mist one by one. Then, as if he had thought of something, he looked at his granddaughter beside him.
Each time an arrow flew into the black mist, it accurately struck the demons within, causing the demons' roars to grow increasingly rapid.
This was accompanied by a few low cries of pain.
"This demon is injured."
Upon hearing the low, pained screams of the demons, the martial artists present widened their eyes and exchanged meaningful glances.
"call!"
At this moment, Lu Ling let out a long breath, having already emptied her quiver of arrows.
"You, you, and you."
"Didn't you want to earn merit by slaying demons?"
"This is your chance. Now go to this location and see how that demon is doing after it was injured."
Lu Ling casually pointed to a few martial artists beside him and spoke to them in a commanding tone.
The burly martial artists who were called upon felt a jolt in their hearts.
"Those who do not depart within three breaths."
"die!!"
Lu Ling spoke calmly, taking out a pill from his pocket and swallowing it. He then began to recover his internal energy while he fired so many arrows. It could be said that each arrow was imbued with his internal energy.
The previous attack took a significant toll.
Although archery wasn't her forte, she had practiced it for several years.
The Lu family was considered a prestigious family in the prefectural city. Although she was only from a collateral branch, she still had to learn all kinds of martial arts from a young age at the clan school.
There is nothing that cannot be accessed.
"His energy is greatly depleted. If we fight together, we can definitely..."
One of the burly, dark-faced men hesitated for a moment before drawing his sword and pointing it at Lu Ling.
A ruthless glint flashed in Lu Ling's eyes.
He drew an arrow directly from another quiver, drew the longbow taut with incredible speed, and blew the head off the burly, dark-faced man several steps away.
Bang! !
The dark-faced man, whose head had been blasted open with a bloody hole, collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud, his eyes filled with terror.
This scene terrified the two other martial artists.
"Including you."
"It's still the three of you."
"If you're not convinced, you can try attacking me all at once. Even if you want to run, you can try. Let's see if your agility is faster than my arrows!"
Lu Ling casually picked another martial artist, asking them to make a total of three.
"A friendly reminder."
"That demon was wounded by my arrow. The longer you delay, the lower your chances of survival will be."
Lu Ling said softly.
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the three martial artists lit up. No matter what, they were doomed. Their only chance of survival was to rush into the black mist and kill the demon.
The three warriors chosen by Lu Ling, armed with weapons, immediately rushed into the black mist in front of them.
At this moment, the other martial artists who had not been targeted glanced at their companion on the ground, whose head had been pierced by an arrow, and then looked at Lu Ling with fear as he drew his longbow to its full extent once more.
I couldn't help but feel a chill run down my spine.
It's very likely that once that quiver is empty of arrows, it will be their turn to die.
Gudong!
The few surviving martial artists present swallowed hard, their expressions grave.
"ah!!"
"I'll fight for you!"
"Help me!!"
Then, after a dozen or so breaths, the screams of the three warriors came from within the black mist, and then everything came to an abrupt halt.
Click, click!
Immediately afterwards, the sound of bones being chewed could be heard.
Swish!
At this moment, the arrow in Lu Ling's right hand was filled with a blood-red energy, more than before.
The arrow itself began to tremble slightly, as if it were about to burst open at any moment.
However, Lu Ling kept controlling the energy on the arrow, preventing it from bursting open too quickly.
"Die!"
Lu Ling's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and Lin Zhou beside her pointed precisely to a certain spot.
The arrow in his hand shot out instantly, several times faster than the previous arrows. A sharp whistling sound rang out, and the red arrow shadow disappeared into the thick black fog in the blink of an eye.
