Speed ​​Pass starts with choosing a hunter

Chapter 7 Shooting
To Bai Yuan's surprise, Xiao Qiaoniang hummed obediently.

"Uncle, this is a good thing."

She got up from the bed, rummaged in the cupboard for a while, and took out a bulging small cloth bag.

From the bulging irregular shapes, Bai Yuan knew that they were all copper coins.

Xiao Qiaoniang held Bai Yuan's hand and put the small cloth bag in Bai Yuan's hand.

"When mom and dad were still alive, they hoped that you could go to the martial arts school in the city. I have saved this money quietly over the years. Uncle, please don't think it's too little."

If it was the Bai Yuan from before, she would not have taken it out.

But since that illness, her uncle seemed like a different person and always made her feel at ease.

Xiao Qiaoniang's hands were a little rough because of her work as a housewife, but the warmth from her palms still made Bai Yuan's heart flutter.

These copper coins were worth only a hundred coins at most, but they cost Xiao Qiaoniang a lot of effort.

"I will never let my sister-in-law down."

Bai Yuan did not hesitate, he put the purse away.

Xiao Qiaoniang's cheeks turned red, and she pulled her hands back from Bai Yuan's palms.

Bai Yuan was fascinated by his sister-in-law's blushing face.

The two of them had been eating meat these past few days, and Xiao Qiaoniang's originally sallow skin gradually became fairer and more attractive.

My sister-in-law has become beautiful again.
Zhuang Zhao's words did not persuade Bai Yuan.

The next day, as soon as it was light, he went to Mentougou early.

The Bai family’s current state of having enough food and clothing is inseparable from his hard work.

After three days of sunshine, the melted snow water froze into ice again. The mountain road was wet and slippery, and you would fall if you were not careful.

Bai Yuan walked very carefully.

The bag behind him was bulging with the hardwood bow he got from Zhao Sihu.

In order to avoid being recognized by people with discerning eyes, he deliberately stuffed two pieces of clothes into his clothes.

With greatly improved tracking skills and the help of a hardwood bow, Bai Yuan's hunting efficiency increased several times.

Enhancement points +1
Enhancement points +2
In less than half a day, Bai Yuan had so many wild animals around his waist that he could not hang them all. He even had a wild deer half a person's height on his shoulder. It was a great harvest.

"add a bit!"

[In the fourth year of practicing tracking skills, you gradually gained some insights and no longer stuck to ancient books.]

[You continue to practice tracking, and your eyesight becomes more and more exquisite. ]

【After six years of tracking, you finally achieved something.】

[You practice archery diligently every day, lifting stones a hundred times, and your finger strength increases greatly, and you can pull two stone bows. ]

[Name: Bai Yuan]

[Occupation: Hunter]

[Skills: Tracking (Proficient), Archery (Proficient), Trap (Entry Level)]

[Strength Points: 0]

Tracking is easy to get started with, but it is much more difficult to go further. It only took two and a half years of practice to reach proficiency in archery, but it took six years to master tracking.

Not many hunters are willing to work hard to learn tracking. In Baisha Town, there are only one or two veteran hunters who have been hunting for a long time and have barely reached a proficient level.

There is not much change in tracking after becoming proficient, but the observation ability has improved a lot.

However, Bai Yuan, who almost cleared the game, knew that if he could track the game to the master level, he would have unexpected gains.
After Bai Yuan’s tracking skills were improved, his ability to find prey was further enhanced.

He planned to hunt two more wild animals before going down the mountain, as he would not be able to fit in more.

The mountain road was very difficult to walk on after the snow melted, and Bai Yuan became more and more frightened as he walked.

It’s not because the mountain road is slippery, but because of the footprints of varying depths on the ground.

Eight people chasing one. They are all masters.

Bai Yuan was able to quickly make a judgement based on the footprints on the ground. This was a skill he acquired after becoming proficient in tracking.

With his eyesight, even if he doesn't work as a hunter, he would be more than qualified to be an investigator in the government office.

The footprints were disorganized, but without exception they were extremely shallow.

Being able to control the body while running is obviously not something that ordinary mountain people and hunters can do. Those people must be martial artists!

At first Bai Yuan just thought they were hunters hunting in groups, but now he finally confirmed it.

"We must leave quickly."

Bai Yuan made a judgment immediately. He knew the martial artist's ability. If it wasn't for the surprise attack, he would never have been able to kill Zhao Sihu so easily.

You know, Zhao Sihu is just an apprentice in a martial arts school who hasn't even gotten the skin polishing.

If he met a serious martial artist, it would be difficult for him to survive.

He made a prompt decision and ran away quickly in the opposite direction of the footprints.

The sky was dark and it was almost dusk.

The snowy forest in front of me gradually became hazy.

Bai Yuan looked behind him cautiously, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that no one was catching up with him.

suddenly!

His expression became tense again.

Because he saw a footprint not far away, very shallow.

It hasn't snowed in Mentougou for three days, which means that the person who left the footprints must have very good physical skills. The footprints look very new, proving that the other person was very close to here.

at this time--

Whoosh!
There was an explosion that broke through the air.

Because he was very experienced in tracking, Bai Yuan saw through it in advance, threw himself forward with all his might, and barely avoided it.

It's a stone!
Bai Yuan clearly saw that what was shot at him like a bullet was actually a stone.

What strong finger strength.

A face appeared from behind a pine tree ten meters away.

Beard, scar face
It was clearly the man in the wanted poster of the Iron Knife Gang yesterday!
"It's really bad luck."

Since they are targeted by the Iron Knife Gang, their strength cannot be bad.

Bai Yuan keenly observed that there were some scarlet spots on the snow where the bearded man was, and it was obvious that the other party was seriously injured.

Perhaps because of the injury, the bearded man threw the second stone later than expected.

Bai Yuan rolled forward.

The bundle behind him fell to the ground, and he picked up the hardwood bow smoothly.

Stand still.

Use your left foot to push the bow and your right fingers to tap the strings.

Bai Yuan burst out with a force more than twice as great as usual.

The bow body let out a series of mournful cries.

Like a full moon, shoot the wolf in the sky!
Just before the bow broke, the arrow whistled like a silver dragon and shot straight towards the pine tree.

The originally soft tree trunk was pierced through like a block of tofu, and the feather arrow went straight into the back of the tree.

puff
A soft sound.

The bearded man's half body was exposed from the pine tree and he slipped and fell on the snow. His head had been pierced by a feather arrow and his eyes were as big as copper bells.

Unwilling, unbelievable.
After roaming the martial arts world for half his life, he finally died at the hands of a small hunter.

Enhancement points +30
Bai Yuan looked at the bearded man calmly, and only dared to step forward after making sure that the other party was dead.

The second time he killed someone, he was too calm.

There was a bloody hole on the left shoulder, with blood oozing out of it.

The bearded man's second stone still hit him, but fortunately it didn't hit a vital part.

Bai Yuan bared his teeth and took a deep breath. The severe pain in his left shoulder made him break out in a cold sweat.

He pulled out the clothes that had fallen on the snow and made a simple bandage.

He suffered heavy losses in this battle.

Others' poles broke, but his bow broke. The hardwood bow had broken into two pieces and could not be used even if it was repaired.

Fortunately, the 30 enhancement points he got from killing monsters were enough for him to make back his investment.

From this we can also see how powerful the bearded man is.

If he hadn't been chased and seriously injured, he would have had no chance of succeeding.

Bai Yuan looked at the bearded man's body with shining eyes.

Touching corpses can sometimes be addictive.
