"I now have at least a five-hundred-pound strength!"
Zhou Chen raised the ox horn bow in his hand, gently pulled it to a full moon, and the bow emitted a faint sound of strain.
"Need to earn money to get a good bow!"
Actually, the ox horn bow in his hand isn't bad, but it's only good for ordinary people; it's not enough for a martial artist.
Especially since the martial art he's practicing is the Yi Arrow Skill; it requires a good bow to unleash its full power.
Moreover, when his archery reaches mastery, he wouldn't need to add points and could train by himself.
But practicing the Yi Arrow Skill requires coordination between bow and arrow.
A good bow is particularly important.
Putting away the bow and arrow, Zhou Chen didn't rush to the back hills, instead wandering around the village.
At this time, the men in the village had already started their day's work.
Mostly going fishing.
There were also others doing different jobs.
Very quickly.
Zhou Chen saw two idle loafers—Wild Dog and Er Ma.
"Brother Chen!"
When Zhou Chen saw them, Wild Dog and Er Ma also saw Zhou Chen, hurriedly approaching to nod and greet him respectfully.
They still remembered vividly the skills Zhou Chen showed when he taught them a lesson before.
"I'm planning to hunt a wild boar today, are you guys free to help me carry it? I'll share some meat with you later!"
Zhou Chen cut straight to the point.
Yesterday, after taking Zhang Long and others into the mountains to track the vicious tiger, he spotted signs of wild boar. With his Tracking Technique, he's sure to find the wild boar.
"Yes! Of course, we are!"
"Brother Chen thinks highly of us, even if we are busy, we'll make time!"
Wild Dog and Er Ma readily agreed, having witnessed some of Zhou Chen's skills.
If they could really hunt a wild boar and bring it back to the village, it would be a great honor.
Moreover, hunting wild boar is much more thrilling than wandering around the village.
Plus, there's meat to take.
Although there might be some risk, they didn't mind that little risk.
"Good!"
Zhou Chen nodded, and the two went back to get their gear, then followed Zhou Chen into the mountains to hunt.
"Isn't that Brother Chen? Why is he hanging out with Wild Dog and Er Ma?"
"Looks like they're going hunting; wasn't Brother Chen a loner before?"
"Didn't Brother Chen hunt a wolf before? Maybe he found bigger prey and needs help!"
The women washing clothes by the stream glanced at Zhou Chen curiously, somewhat surprised.
Wild Dog, full of excitement, said:
"Brother Chen, did you find the lair of the wild boar?"
"More or less!"
Zhou Chen led the two into the mountains.
Suddenly.
Zhou Chen raised his hand and shot an arrow, Wild Dog and Er Ma startled, they looked up, and saw a gray rabbit tens of steps away hit in the hind leg by an arrow.
The arrow pierced through the hind leg and was nailed to a nearby tree, the rabbit screamed but was trapped, like meat on a chopping board.
"Brother Chen's archery is truly divine!"
Wild Dog and Er Ma immediately praised; although they thought maybe it was a miss that happened to hit the rabbit's leg, they certainly couldn't say it like that.
Zhou Chen didn't say anything, Wild Dog swiftly went over to pick up the rabbit and arrow, tied the rabbit's leg, and put it in the basket.
Next.
Zhou Chen consecutively shot and hit two more rabbits and two pheasants, hitting the rabbits in the hind leg and the pheasants in the wing.
At this moment.
Wild Dog and Er Ma were completely convinced, eyes full of admiration.
Zhou Chen's archery was indeed miraculous.
Saying he'd shoot your hind leg, he wouldn't shoot your foreleg.
Saying he'd shoot your wing, he wouldn't shoot your chest.
Zhou Chen was responsible for shooting, and Wild Dog and Er Ma were responsible for collecting the prey.
Zhou Chen felt pretty good.
After half an hour.
Zhou Chen arrived at the place where he spotted wild boar tracks yesterday, followed the traces and scent, and spent half an hour before finally finding the wild boar.
During this time.
Zhou Chen also shot quite a few small prey like rabbits and pheasants.
"Brother Chen, there are two... no, it's a nest of wild boars!"
Wild Dog looked ahead and also spotted them, wary as the wild boars glared at them, swallowing hard, his legs trembling.
It's a pair of large boars and seven or eight piglets the size of native dogs.
The boar was robust, covered in a layer of mud like armor, two tusks like curved blades, scraping the ground with its hind hoofs, snorting angrily staring at Zhou Chen's group!
The sow protected the piglets behind her, also staring fixedly at Zhou Chen's group.
"Roar!"
The boar roared, charging fiercely towards Zhou Chen like a tank, everything in front of it would be smashed.
This unstoppable momentum frightened Wild Dog and Er Ma to the point their legs trembled.
Facing a wild boar really made one realize its terrifying power.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Zhou Chen bent the bow and nocked the arrows, in one fluid motion, shooting two arrows simultaneously, instantly piercing the boar's eyes, deeply embedding into its skull.
"Roar!"
The boar howled in despair, inertia still driving it forward.
The sow followed closely behind, also initiating a charge.
Zhou Chen similarly shot two arrows, hitting the sow's eyes.
Though hit by two arrows, neither the boar nor the sow died immediately; they fell, struggled to get up.
But their eyes were blind, ran a few steps, and stumbled headfirst into a big tree.
Zhou Chen knew they were doomed.
Seeing the piglets begin to scatter and escape, Zhou Chen swiftly tossed stones one by one.
The Thunder Light Ruyi Hand with ultra-fast speed and formidable strength allowed Zhou Chen to throw stones faster than shooting arrows, instantly throwing dozens of stones.
These stones hit the piglets on the legs, forehead.
The scattered piglets hadn't run more than a few meters before being all knocked down, some were killed on the spot, others knocked unconscious.
In summary, Peggy's family was annihilated by Zhou Chen!
Wild Dog and Er Ma widened their mouths, stunned.
Truly brutal!
This stone-throwing and shooting skill were simply unbeatable!
"Brother Chen, you're truly divine, how did you practice this?"
Wild Dog and Er Ma stiffly turned their heads, eyes fervent, thinking if they learned this stone-throwing and shooting skill, they'd walk tall in the future.
"Nothing special, just practiced."
Zhou Chen coolly boasted,
"Just shoot more!"
The two large wild boars were already lying on the ground, their bodies twitching continuously.
Zhou Chen went forward to inspect the seven piglets, four were still alive, Zhou Chen tied their legs, put them in the basket!
Wild Dog and Er Ma went forward to help, but looking at the two large wild boars, said with difficulty:
"Brother Chen, how do we carry this back?"
"You guys only need to carry one."
Zhou Chen looked at the two large wild boars, the boar weighing about nearly four hundred pounds, the sow about two hundred and some pounds, and added:
"You guys can carry this sow!"
Wild Dog and Er Ma nodded, that boar would be difficult for two people to carry away, not to mention the mountain path making it even tougher.
But what about the boar?
Before they could ask, Zhou Chen grabbed the boar's legs and lifted it directly onto his shoulder.
"Wow!"
Wild Dog and Er Ma widened their mouths, was this Innate Divine Power, or had he practiced martial arts?
"Brother... Brother Chen, did you practice martial arts?"
Wild Dog swallowed, stunned.
"No, just slightly stronger is all!"
Zhou Chen spoke calmly.
Wild Dog: "..."
Er Ma: "..."
That's slightly stronger, huh!
Keep in mind Zhou Chen also carried the piglets, each weighing twenty pounds.
"Let's go!"
Zhou Chen urged them.
"Alright!"
The two hurriedly lifted the sow and carried the rabbits and pheasants to follow Zhou Chen, soon exhausting themselves, red-faced like dates.
They looked at Zhou Chen's tall, mountain-like silhouette ahead, carrying piglets and wielding the boar, with even deeper reverence in their eyes.
"Must hold tightly onto Brother Chen's coattails!"
An hour later.
The two carrying the wild boar puffing and panting followed Zhou Chen back to the village.
Upon returning to the village.
Their hunched backs instantly straightened, heads held high, nostrils flaring, faces full of pride.
"Oh my god, Brother Chen hunted two wild boars!"
With cries of surprise, many villagers were alerted, rushing out to see the spectacle.
"Lady Zhou, your husband hunted wild boars!"
