Call of the Other World: Rebuilding the Glory of Zhenbei

Chapter 8: Hunting in the suburbs, killing two birds with one stone

Holding Huang on the left and Cang on the right, with carved bows and strong horses, a thousand riders roll across the plain.

I can draw a longbow like a full moon, and see whose boy the one who fell the eagle today is.

The wilderness outside the Zhenbei Palace is now a little chilly.

The withered grass lightly rolls up the autumn dew, making the high blue sky seem even more desolate.

The sound of horse hooves could be heard across the wild plains. A group of young men, who had not yet reached adulthood, were galloping on their horses in the cold wind, chasing their prey.

"Whoosh!"

"I got it! Hahaha, what a big wild rabbit!"

Among the crowd was a young man who looked extremely elegant. He had a handsome face and his facial features looked like they were carved out of marble, full of lines. His eyes were as black as the night sky, revealing a unique charm.

He laughed loudly and spurred his horse forward, holding a fat wild rabbit in his hand, which really made others envious.

"Lü Jiao, you have made great progress! Even I have to admit that your archery skills are better than yours now."

"Cunxiao, come quickly!!!"

"Old Xia, come here soon!"

"Erlang, stop standing there and bring your Sky Roaring Dog over here!"

"And Jingde, you come too!"

"Cunxu, don't just stand there!"

"Siyuan, I heard that everyone in your Shatuo tribe is good at riding and shooting. Why don't you show us your skills!"

"Dingfang, Shigenobu, you two idiots, come and play with us!!!"

"I think this kid's archery skills can compete with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" several people watching nearby said.

"Why not let Lu Jiao compete with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so that we can broaden our horizons!"

"Well said, I agree!"

Looking at the crowd making noises, the elegant young man called Lu Jiao laughed loudly:

"You guys are putting me on the fire! His Highness is a man of heaven and his archery skills are rare in ancient and modern times. How can I compare with him?

"but.
He changed the subject and rode his horse to a handsome, fair-faced young man. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Hahahahahaha, Your Highness, in my opinion, you should show us your skills, so that these people won't make trouble all day long!"

Obviously, Lu Jiao, who was good at archery, also wanted to compete with the opponent and was not as convinced as he said.

After he finished speaking, an astonishing aura emanated from Lu Jiao, who looked extremely young, and he actually exuded the aura of a divine general!
"Lü Jiao! The pride of Lü, the bones of jade!"

The handsome young man sitting high on the horse naturally saw all of this.

The boy looked young, with a hint of immaturity between his brows.

That handsome face, like a piece of jade, seemed to have been carefully carved without any flaws. His pair of golden eyes, shining like the sun, had a hint of indifference and laziness.

The medium-length black hair just touched the shoulders, and there were a few strands of purple hair on the forehead and temples, mixed in with the black hair, adding a sense of evil.

The most noticeable thing is that the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, and he always has a sincere smile on his face, which easily makes people feel good about him. He gives people a warm feeling like spring breeze and he is very approachable.

Once you take one look at it, you can't take your eyes off it for a long time.

This person was none other than Han Shenxing, the prince of Zhenbei, who led the team out to relax.

However, he did not mind Lu Jiao's request. After looking around, he happened to see two eagles flying back and forth in the sky, fighting for a piece of meat. So he smiled and said to everyone:
"Everyone, I am happy to see two eagles fighting for food. I will try my hand at archery and win a prize for today's hunting. What do you think?" Eagles are ferocious, greedy and cunning. In order to snatch food from its opponent, one black eagle swooped down and pecked or clawed at its opponent. The other eagle was not to be outdone, and the two sides fought fiercely, with feathers flying everywhere and screams shrilly.

As soon as the words came out, Lu Jiao pulled out two arrows from his quiver and handed them over with a big laugh:

"Shooting an eagle is much more difficult than shooting those stupid rabbits. If your Highness succeeds in shooting an eagle, I will be the first to beat up anyone who dares to criticize your archery skills!"

Listening to Lu Jiao's rough words, Han Shenxing nodded with a slight smile.

Then he took the two long arrows, turned his horse around and ran straight towards the two eagles.

The key to archery while riding is to free your hands and rely entirely on your own waist and leg strength to stabilize your body and achieve balance.

Of course, even if you can stabilize your body on the horse, it still requires a lot of practice to be able to hit the target accurately while moving at high speed.

Horse archery is also different from foot archery. It focuses more on flexibility and maneuverability, and requires firing multiple rounds of arrows continuously while moving at high speed.

Moreover, if you want to practice horse riding and archery, to be more precise, you want to practice using bows and arrows. Different from practicing swords, knives, spears, and halberds, even if you don't have enough strength to swing iron weapons freely, you can still rely on wooden weapons to practice various combat skills.

But when it comes to bows and arrows, if you don’t have strength in your hands, you may not be able to pull the string.

Not to mention shooting an arrow with a bow!
In order to tame a hard bow, one must be able to pull the string to perfection, and be able to do it with ease, so that one can concentrate on aiming.

At this moment, Han Shenxing was holding a dark red longbow in his hand. The whole longbow was in the shape of a phoenix, with its wings spread out to form the bow body. A kind of hot flame wave lingered on it, as if flames would erupt as long as the bowstring was pulled.

The bow has a strong body and a firm bowstring, so it can not only shoot very far, but also very accurately.

This time, in order to make sure he could hit the eagle, he rode his horse and galloped to within thirty steps of the eagle. Then he drew the bow and followed the eagle's shadow in a circle. When the time was right, Han Shenxing's eyes focused and he released the hand that was pulling the bowstring. The long arrow instantly turned into lightning and streaked across the sky.

As the arrow flew out, he held his breath and looked forward to the final result like everyone else.

call out!
The bowstring vibrated like thunder.

The sound of the arrows whistling was like the long cry of a fire phoenix.

A flash of cold light came first, and in a flash, the sharp edge like a stream of light tore through the barrier of the air. Then, an arrow like a rainbow directly penetrated into the chests of the two overlapping eagles. The two eagles cried together and fell from the sky.

The young men were excited, raising their arms and shouting, "The prince is a great archer... The prince is mighty..."

There was a burst of applause at the scene, and even Han Shenxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In just a moment, someone returned with two large eagles in each hand, and then handed the remaining long arrow back to Lu Jiao:
"It doesn't matter if you have many arrows, just one is enough."

From then on, the prince's reputation in the north soared.

"Huh~~" "These two stone strong bows are really strenuous. Just one arrow made my arms ache. I'm afraid that two more arrows will be enough to make me unable to draw the bow for the next few days.

Besides, it is still a bit difficult to shoot two crossbows with my current strength, so it seems that I will focus on practicing two crossbows in the next one or two years."

"Huh, it's really not easy for time travelers to survive. I still need to practice more. I will shoot Qin Ritian when I catch him in the future!"

Han Shenxing exhaled a breath of hot air, moved his sore arms, and muttered to himself.

"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for completing the "Kill Two Birds with One Stone" achievement. The host will be rewarded with a permanent increase of one to two random attributes.

Han Shenxing's current strength is +1, and his charm is +1.

Han Shenxing's attributes increased to Force: 96, Command: 94, Intelligence: 90, Politics: 93, Charisma: 96
Han Shenxing's luck was obviously quite good. It was originally just a way of showing off, but it actually directly triggered an achievement!
Moreover, as the first person to trigger this achievement, he also received the greatest benefit, directly gaining improvements to two permanent attributes.

Although the second and third people who trigger this achievement in the future will also receive certain rewards, they will definitely not be as big as Han Shenxing’s reward.
