Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 4: An Arrow in the Eye

In the end, it was old man Jiang Cong who taught Silang while he went upstream against the river.

The forest gradually became empty, the air suddenly became fresh, and a waterfall more than ten meters high poured down from the rocks.

Jiang Yue was delighted to see the prey, and instinctively rushed up the slippery rocks. With light steps, he reached the top of the waterfall in a few leaps, leaving Jiang Cong stunned.

Even when he was young, he couldn't climb this waterfall so easily.

Old man Jiang Cong slowly climbed up the waterfall along the bluestone and pulled Silang up.

What comes into view is a small plain with many wild animals, including roe deer, hares, pheasants, and wild deer. The grass on the ground is extremely broad, which is why it is named Broadleaf Plain.

"Let's check the traps first."

Jiang Cong signaled Jiang Yue and Jiang Silang to stay where they were and not move. He walked around Kuoye Plain, his face gradually becoming gloomy.

"These beasts are getting smarter and smarter. None of the traps I set last time worked."

Jiang Cong returned to the two of them and said depressedly: "Our luck is not very good. We can only rely on our real skills to hunt."

"Okay, Grandpa! I'll try!"

Silang was so excited that he was about to rush out, but was held down by Jiang Cong.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Jiang Cong leaned down and whispered, "Remember, you must pay attention to the change in wind direction and keep us downwind at all times. These prey are very alert. Once they smell our scent, they will run away directly. They run like flying, and can jump seven or eight meters in one leap and disappear in the blink of an eye."

As he spoke, Jiang Cong took out a yellow and white paste from the animal skin bag and smeared it on himself.

"Grandpa, this is"

“Pheasant shit.”

"vomit--"

"Apply it on your body quickly."

"."

Si Lang suppressed his nausea and smeared the stuff on himself, and asked, "Grandpa, why doesn't my second brother need to be smeared? He has already run more than ten meters away."

Hearing this, Jiang Cong looked at Jiang Yue and found that Jiang Yue was already more than ten meters away from them.

But he didn't even hear Jiang Yue leaving.

"Eh?"

Jiang Cong closed his eyes and felt the wind direction, and said in surprise: "Erlang is right at the bottom of the wind outlet, and no smell can drift over. Erlang is really getting it, and he has such a keen sense."

"No, no, no, you can't do it just by feeling the wind. You need deep experience. It seems that Jilang has been thinking about this since he entered the mountain without saying a word."

"It's confirmed. This kid has given Grandpa a big surprise today. Come on, Silang, follow Erlang. His route is completely correct."

The wrinkles on Jiang Cong's face were curled into a smile. He bent over and followed Jiang Yue, slowly entering the broad-leaved plain.

The wild deer drinking from the river would occasionally stop what they were doing, twitch their nostrils, and look around vigilantly. After making sure there was no danger, they would continue drinking water.

However, Jiang Cong did not draw his bow easily, but was still watching.

However, when Silang bent his bow and drew his arrow, he scared away several wild deer that were drinking water by the river before he even aimed, leaving Silang confused.

"Deer are spiritual and can sense human ill intentions."

Old man Jiang Cong stroked his beard and chuckled, "If you want to hunt a wild deer, you need at least five people to cooperate. One person lures the deer to scare it away, and the others ambush from three directions. If you do this more than a dozen times, you may be able to hunt a wild deer."

This hunting method is stupid, but it is the most effective one.

However, it takes too long. Generally, one has to prepare several days' worth of dry food before hunting wild deer. It also requires too many people, which is totally beyond the capability of Jiang Cong and his two companions to do.

Every time I come to the Broadleaf Plains, I hunt musk deer, pheasants, gophers and the like.

"Our goal is not wild deer or roe deer, these animals are too agile. Our goal is pheasants, hares and the like. Hunting more is enough to make a living."

Jiang Cong whispered, "Erlang, why don't you try? That pheasant over there."

"I'll try."

Jiang Yue spoke softly, took out a wooden arrow from the quiver, put it on the bowstring, and his movements and eyes became extremely sharp.

The actions of holding the bow, putting the arrow on, pulling the string, positioning and aiming were done in one go, so smooth and fluid that old man Jiang Cong's eyes widened.

"That's some skilled archery."

Jiang Cong's eyes widened with shock. He had been living in the mountains since he was a child and had been hunting for decades. He naturally knew what Jiang Yue's smooth movements meant!
Muscle memory!

Without seven or eight years of hunting in the mountains, it is impossible to achieve such smooth archery skills.

Jiang Cong's father, the ancestor of the Jiang family in Funiushan, was an extremely skilled archer, and he hunted many wild deer with the archery skill. He accumulated a fortune before the dynasty declined and left a lot of hunting tools to the Jiang family.

This is how the Jiang family got their wealth, so Jiang Cong was deeply impressed.

And the action of archery has almost become Jiang Yue's instinct!

Jiang Yue took a few steps forward calmly, squatted in the broad-leaved grass, and looked at the musk deer drinking water by the river.

This musk deer is about the size of a calf. When it lowers its head to drink water, its ears move left and right. It is extremely alert and will jump away at the slightest sign of trouble.

And there are only about fifty meters between it and Jiang Yue!

Whoosh—the bowstring sounded and the arrow flew through the air.

Almost instantly, the musk deer began to wail. The wooden arrow pierced deeply into its eye socket. It ran wildly in pain, and after more than ten breaths, it fell to the ground with a thud, stirring up a cloud of dust.

This commotion caused all the creatures around to run around in panic.

"what?"

Old Master Jiang Cong widened his eyes.

Nearly fifty meters away, an arrow hit the deer. What kind of accuracy is this? !
This is a musk deer!

It has an agile body and can jump more than ten meters in the blink of an eye. Although it is not as agile and flexible as a wild deer, it is smaller and more difficult to hit. As a result, Jiang Yue hit it with one arrow!
"Silang, let's go ahead and tie up the deer."

Jiang Cong came to his senses, called out, and the yellow dog led the way, and the two of them rushed forward.

It was only then that Jiang Cong saw the wound on the musk deer.

“It’s actually a wooden arrow!”

Jiang Cong cried out in surprise. He thought Jiang Cong was using an iron arrow, but it turned out to be a wooden arrow.

And that wooden arrow actually pierced deeply into the deer's eye socket!

Old Master Jiang Cong widened his eyes and was even more surprised.

More than fifty meters away, shooting a musk deer with an arrow and shooting a musk deer in the eye socket with an arrow are completely different concepts!
After coming to his senses, Jiang Cong hurriedly smeared pheasant dung on the wound in the musk deer's eye socket to cover up the smell of blood and avoid attracting wild beasts.

"Shiro, come and tie it up."

Jiang Cong ordered.

Silang also came to his senses from his surprise and hurriedly took out a hemp rope to tie up the musk deer.

He is still confused now.

Silang was young and could not see any tricks, but he felt that his second brother Jiang Yue's action of bending the bow, drawing the arrow, aiming and shooting was extremely powerful and beautiful, and his accuracy was very good!
"Erlang, we have to hurry. We have to leave in an hour." Jiang Cong said.

A musk deer died. Although the wound was not serious and the smell of blood was covered with pheasant dung, it would not last long and would soon attract wild beasts.

If they attract carnivorous beasts such as jackals, tigers and leopards, they will be in danger.

"it is good."

Jiang Yue nodded in a daze.

Because just when the deer roe died, a hint suddenly appeared in Jiang Yue's eyes.

【Time + 0.1 years】

【Time: 0.1 years】

The sudden increase in time gave Jiang Yue some insight. It seemed that playing the role of a hunter and hunting prey would increase his time.

After figuring it out, Jiang Yue smiled.

Saving time is the most important thing for him right now!
More than ten minutes later, the disturbed prey gradually calmed down and returned to their previous state. A few musk deer did not learn the lesson of their own kind being hunted, and squatted by the river to drink water again.

"try again."

Jiang Yue tried to hunt musk deer that were drinking water, but after shooting a few wooden arrows, he got nothing, mainly because of the wind.

The arrow's aim would change due to the wind, which caused Jiang Yue's shot to deviate and fail to hit the eye socket.

However, the wooden arrows did hit the musk deer's body, but the wooden arrows had limited killing power and could not cause severe bleeding. The musk deer that were hit quickly ran away.

When the first arrow was shot, the breeze was not strong, so the arrow hit the target.

Jiang Cong watched from the side and encouraged him, "Erlang, an experienced archer will take factors such as wind direction and terrain into consideration. Grandpa knows that you have practiced archery at home, but you still have too little experience. Come a few more times and you will gain experience. Then this broadleaf plain will be your hunting ground as you please."

"I understand Grandpa."

Jiang Yue nodded slightly.

Jiang Yue had a feeling about the wind direction during the three years he had spent, otherwise he would not have found the leeward side. However, that was more about experience in choosing a hunting spot rather than experience in archery.

Just like shooting an arrow, the strength of the wind will determine how far the arrow will deviate, and the height of the terrain will determine how far the arrow will fall. All of these can only be summarized after a lot of archery practice.

Jiang Yue is still far from that now.

However, Jiang Yue was not discouraged. He continued to shoot arrows, targeting pheasants and hares, and gradually summed up his experience.

In comparison, pheasants and hares are much easier to hunt.

However, the time provided is not as much as that of musk deer.

A hare or pheasant can only provide 0.01 years of time.

【Time + 0.01 years】

【Time + 0.01 years】

【.】

【Time: 0.14 years】
