Original God: I can earn experience points

Chapter 21: Defeating the Ruins Guard
Li Qiuzhi asked Weier and Noelle to help collect all the arrows and crossbows that could still be used. In response to Weier's question, he said:

"I want to try to use crossbows to see if I can defeat the ruins guards."

".Ugh, this is too dangerous!"

Wei'er changed her stance slightly, and her tangled ponytail swayed slightly, expressing her confusion. She had no idea why Li Qiuzhi was so obsessed with beating monsters to "practice".

"That's why we use a crossbow."

Li Qiuzhi didn't want to provoke them at first, but after discovering that the treasure-stealing group had good stuff like crossbows, he felt that there was a chance to hit their core and paralyze them.

The only thing to note is that when choosing a target, try not to attract the "hatred" of the second Ruins Guardian. You need to keep a long distance, which is a bit difficult to do when using his wooden hunting bow.

After all, the hunting bow is a bit weak. It is okay for hunting, but it is a bit lacking against the Ruins Guard, a relic mechanism with super high physical resistance.

Furthermore, the crossbow can fire continuously, and if it hits the core of the Ruins Guard in a short period of time, there should be a chance to paralyze them.

"Besides, don't you want to go to the ruins discovered by the treasure-stealing group to confirm whether there is really a secret realm?"

Li Qiuzhi asked with a smile. As an intelligence trader, you can't be unsure of the authenticity of the intelligence, that would be too irresponsible.

"Yeah, that's right."

Weir, who was thinking with her right hand bent and her fingers resting on her snow-white chin, was just as Li Qiuzhi had hit upon the point in her heart. The information about the existence of a secret realm could be worth a lot whether it was sold to the Adventurer's Association or the Knights of Favonius.

"By the way, can you use a bow? Can you shoot accurately?" Li Qiuzhi thought for a moment and asked Noel and Wei'er at the same time.

“Eh? You want us to use the crossbow?” Noelle turned her head to the side, looked at the green grass and said in a weak voice, “I practice the West Wind Sword Technique, so I’m not very good at the bow and arrow.”

Looking at her profile through her silver-gray hair, you can glimpse her delicate and snow-white ears faintly visible in the gaps between her hair.

Wei Er could also guess what Li Qiuzhi was thinking, and said with a smile:
"I have learned some archery before, so it is not a problem to use the crossbow to hit the core of these big guys guarding the ruins."

He probably wanted to use the two crossbows left by the treasure-stealing group to attack the core of the ruins guards. With the power of the crossbows, if he could hit the target, there was a chance of success.

"Very good, then we can give it a try."

Li Qiuzhi smiled excitedly.

“Leave the protection to me.” Noel said confidently, clenching his right hand slightly to show encouragement.

After deciding to clear out the guards of the ruins, Li Qiuzhi began to count the spoils obtained from the treasure-stealing group.

The two crossbows were used to deal with the guards of the ruins. There were more than 40 crossbow arrows that had not been used up, plus the ones that could be used nearby, which was just enough for me and Weir to split in half.

The recipes for the two elemental potions cannot be prepared for the time being due to lack of materials, but as spoils of war for the three of us, each of us can copy one, so that everyone can gain something.

As for the last scimitar left by Johnny, Li Qiuzhi planned to use it to practice "Fundamentals of West Wind Swordsmanship". Although it is a knife, it is a one-handed weapon after all, so it should be fine.

If you buy a new one, it's not cheap, so save as much as you can since it's just a transitional sword for getting started. You'll still need to buy a better quality one-handed sword in the future.

Neither Wei'er nor Noelle were interested in the scimitar, so Li Qiuzhi accepted it directly.

The next thing to do is to deal with the several Ruin Guards wandering around in the Thousand Winds Temple. In order to avoid being locked by the five Ruin Guards at the same time, they must be careful to keep a sufficient distance.

Using the rubble and broken stone pillars in the Thousand Winds Temple to hide themselves, they descended from the hill covered with grass seedlings again. The routes of the ruins guards were not too close to each other, so Li Qiuzhi and the other two squatted in a fixed position and aimed with their crossbows.

Wait for the Ruins Guard to wander into shooting range.

The treasure-stealing group's crossbow can fire five arrows in a row, and its effective range is 70 to 80 meters. It's not that good, but it's also very good.

Moreover, the distance of more than 70 meters should not attract the "hatred" of the other ruins guards.

Before long, a ruins guard walked towards where Li Qiuzhi and the others were with mechanical and slow steps.

The core of the head emitting dazzling light was exposed. Li Qiuzhi and Wei'er took the crossbow and aimed in advance, waiting for the opportunity to shoot.

Noelle kept a vigilant eye on her surroundings to prevent any accidents.

The ruins guard walked step by step on the stone-paved ground, and did not notice that someone was ambushing him more than a hundred meters ahead.

The kingdom that once produced them has long since been destroyed. Without any orders, they will only wander aimlessly until a creature appears before them, triggering their hostile judgment.

At that time, no matter who it is, they will once again witness the glorious civilization that the kingdom once called Kanreya was most proud of.

Unfortunately, at this time, the despicable stranger was ambushing it with two female companions without any martial ethics.

Watching the Ruins Guard slowly approaching the effective attack range, Li Qiuzhi's eyes sharpened and he whispered to Wei'er beside him:
"Later, when I say shoot, we'll pull the trigger together."

Most of the techniques in the third-level hunter archery and the second-level basic West Wind Archery are also applicable to the crossbow. It is up to him to judge the right time to attack, and Weir only needs to be responsible for aiming.

The breeze blew up some dust at her feet. Weir stroked her forehead under her hair with her fingertips, wiped away the non-existent sweat, and took a deep breath. She was already prepared.

"Ready! Three, two, one, shoot!"

Li Qiuzhi saw that the rusty ruins guard had appeared within the appropriate range and issued an attack order.

Two rapid-fire crossbows fired ten arrows at the core of the ruins guard's head, hitting the target accurately. The first two arrows were bounced off by the relatively solid core.

Starting from the third arrow, the core of the Ruins Guardian began to be damaged. The fourth, fifth, and sixth arrows expanded the damage. Strands of golden electric current burst out and flashed, and it was in a semi-paralyzed state but had not yet fallen down.

The last few arrows finally extinguished it, and the Ruin Guardian collapsed to the ground.

"It really fell!" Wei'er's expression was filled with excitement.

[Defeat powerful enemies and gain 422 experience points. 】

Li Qiuzhi's mouth curled up slightly. Although he instigated Wei'er and Noel to fight the ruins guards for the sake of experience points, he was a little surprised to gain so many experience points after defeating them.

Now I have accumulated more than 600 experience points, and I will be able to upgrade my level soon. Li Qiuzhi thought silently, and his eyes looked even more intensely at the remaining ruins guards.

One relic guard fell, and the rest were still wandering around on their own, as if they would not react unless they found the enemy.

It seems that although the Ruins Guards are powerful, they are not difficult to deal with if you understand their weaknesses.
