Abandoning literature for martial arts, starting by unleashing the beauty's bow.

Lu Fengnian took a deep breath and continued scrolling down.

Page after page, the deeper he turned, the more his brows furrowed.

As you can see, the back of the manual is either badly damaged by insects or missing pages, a truly pitiful sight.

From the second page onwards, there are missing words and text; how can one cultivate under such circumstances?

"You cunning Qin Feishuang, how dare you play me!"

Lu Fengnian gritted his teeth and said angrily, "You just wait! If we meet again, I'll definitely not let you off the hook!"

Enraged, he slammed his palm down on the archery technique, shattering it into dust.

Since it was an archery technique that couldn't be practiced anyway, Lu Fengnian didn't feel bad about it.

With a wave of his hand, he prepared to brush the scraps of paper off the table.

Paper scraps flew everywhere and fell to the ground.

After all the scraps of paper had fallen, Lu Fengnian was surprised to see something left on the table.

It was a piece of animal hide, about the size of a palm, square and light blue.

Lu Fengnian was slightly surprised and gently took the animal hide into his hand.

The animal hide is very light, almost weightless, and has a soft, pleasant feel.

Lu Fengnian held the animal hide in his hand and examined it carefully. Apart from being very light and extremely tough, it had nothing special about it.

However, it is very strange to hide such an animal skin in the archery technique; there must be some deeper meaning behind it.

Lu Fengnian did not give up and continued to examine the animal hide carefully.

After fiddling with it for a while without being able to figure out what was inside, he took out his cleaver, intending to cut open the animal hide to see if anything was hidden inside.

However, to his surprise, despite using all his strength to cut the sharpness of the cleaver, he was still unable to harm the animal hide.

Not even a single mark can be left on the animal hide.

This made Lu Fengnian even more certain that there must be some great secret hidden on this animal hide.

So, he had a brilliant idea.

They found some clean water, put the animal hide into it, but nothing changed.

They added salt, vinegar, and other seasonings to the water, but the animal hide still didn't react.

If water attacks don't work, then fire attacks will.

He took the oil lamp to the table and then put the animal hide into the flames to burn.

However, what surprised him even more was that the scorching flames baked the animal hide, yet the hide did not curl or char at all.

Even the animal hide remained slightly cool, completely unaffected by the flames.

At this point, Lu Fengnian was 100% certain that the animal hide was a valuable treasure.

Unfortunately, he is now guarding a treasure trove, but cannot find the entrance.

The frustration he felt was unimaginable.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he remembered the fantasy novels he had read in his previous life. When the protagonists encountered these incomprehensible treasures, they always used one trick to draw blood.

Without hesitation, Lu Fengnian used his cleaver to gently cut open his right middle finger, squeezing out a drop of blood which landed on the animal hide.

To his surprise, there was actually a reaction.

Three drops of blood fell one after another onto the animal hide, immediately seeping into it and disappearing.

Then, a bright blue light shone on the animal hide.

Lu Fengnian's face lit up with joy as he sat at the table, waiting to uncover the mystery of this treasure.

However, the blue light quickly dimmed, and the animal hide remained lying quietly on the table, showing no reaction whatsoever.

Lu Fengnian hesitated for a moment, then squeezed out three more drops of blood and dripped them onto the animal hide.

The same thing happened: after the animal hide absorbed three drops of blood, it emitted an even brighter blue light.

But that was all; after the light shone, it dimmed again, and the animal hide remained unchanged.

Undeterred, Lu Fengnian continued to drip blood onto the animal hide.

One drop, one drop, and another drop...

In the blink of an eye, about half an hour had passed.

Lu Fengnian had lost count of how much blood he had dripped onto the animal hide; all he knew was that he was feeling a little dizzy.

His physique is now far stronger than it was in his previous life, but it still can't withstand such extravagance.

Realizing that if things continued this way, the secret on the animal hide would not be uncovered, he estimated that he would bleed to death.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Fengnian made a decision.

Let's give it a rest tonight, and after a couple of days of rest and recovery, we'll deal with it again.

So he reached out and picked up the animal hide from the table.

He extended his right hand, and the spot on his right middle finger where the scalpel had cut it was touching the animal hide.

A shocking change occurred!

The animal hide suddenly moved, flipping and rolling up, directly wrapping Lu Fengnian's middle finger.

At the same time, Lu Fengnian felt the blood in his body flowing rapidly from the wound on his middle finger into the animal hide, where it was quickly absorbed, like a stream flowing.

The animal hide was actively absorbing Lu Fengnian's blood!

At the same time, a bright blue light shone from the animal hide. After it stopped fading, it remained bright, turning Lu Fengnian's bedroom blue.

Lu Fengnian's expression changed drastically; he had just expended a large amount of blood.

If he let the animal hide suck on him like that, he might end up dried up.

So he quickly reached out his left hand, trying to tear the animal skin off his right middle finger.

However, to his despair, the animal hide seemed to be ingrained in his hands, and no matter how hard he tried to tear it, it was to no avail.

A steady stream of blood flowed down his middle finger and into the animal hide.

Lu Fengnian's face began to turn pale, which was visible to the naked eye.

Meanwhile, his head was getting increasingly dizzy, and he was starting to lose his balance.

Finished!

I have to explain myself here!

Lu Fengnian felt a sense of fear; he sensed that death was already upon him.

At a critical juncture.

Lu Fengnian hardened his heart, drew his cleaver, and was about to cut off his right middle finger.

Even if I'm crippled, it's better than losing my life.

He was very decisive; as soon as he drew his scabbard, he thrust it straight down, aiming directly at his right middle finger.

However, just as the tip of the shovel was about to touch the base of the right middle finger.

The animal skin that had been covering the right middle finger suddenly stretched downwards, covering the base of the finger.

The next moment, the tip of the scythe sliced ​​into the animal hide.

The knife tip stopped abruptly, as if it had cut into a steel plate.

Moreover, the middle finger under the animal skin did not feel anything unusual.

The power of the sweeping blade was completely blocked by the animal hide.

"Damn it! This is so unfair! They won't even give me a chance to hurt myself."

Lu Fengnian couldn't help but swear, and made three consecutive cuts, but the result was the same. Protected by the animal hide, he couldn't hurt his middle finger at all.

At this point, he calmed down.

Cutting off your own middle finger will only leave you with a bigger wound.

Given the strange abilities of animal hides, it would probably make it even easier for it to suck blood.

So Lu Fengnian put away his cleaver, sat down at the table, quietly looked at the animal hide, and said in a low voice:

"Keep sucking, this is the Zhenxi Army's camp. Even if you suck me to death, you won't be able to escape."
