People are being devoured, and the future is promising

Chapter 136 Archery
"Gouwazi, do you know what the immortal's requirements are for accepting a disciple?" Lu Chen asked anxiously.

"Request?" Gouwazi scratched his head and couldn't remember for a while.

"It seems that they are under 16 years old." Gouwazi said with some uncertainty.

"16 years old?" Lu Chen said happily.

The original person's age is just over 15 years old, which meets the conditions.

You can give it a try to see the level of the immortal masters in this world.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more words, and Gouwazi went back with the bamboo basket.

A few days later, Lu Chen was well enough to make a fire and cook by himself, so he no longer asked Gou Wazi to deliver food.

During this period, Lu Chen's second uncle came by once, but he left after not sitting there for long.

Regarding this second uncle, Lu Chen wanted to learn more about the world from him.

but--

Lu Chen understood that with his second uncle's shrewdness, he was not as easy to fool as Gou Wa Zi.

Therefore, Lu Chen did not dwell on these issues and waited until his body returned to normal.

"Humph! Ha!"

On the open space in front of the thatched house, Lu Chen was picking up the basic boxing skills he had used before and started practicing.

Although he comes from a peasant family, his raw strength can only be regarded as ordinary.

He weighs one hundred and eighty pounds.

After practicing the basic boxing skills, Lu Chen suddenly felt a little hungry.

Just eating food like wild vegetable porridge is difficult to provide high calorie supply, and you need other items such as meat to supplement nutrition.

Lu Chen casually touched the white light group suspended in mid-air.

【Ding!Obtain 10 Spirit Crystals. 】

"It's the spiritual crystal again?" Lu Chen said helplessly.

If he were to join the Immortal Sect, then obtaining spiritual crystals would undoubtedly help Lu Chen grow up quickly.

But he is just a farmer now, so what is the use of something like spiritual crystals.

Once exposed, they will become the food of the immortal cultivators, and they will be killed directly to seize the spiritual crystals.

After all, it’s just a farmer.

As for converting these spiritual crystals into money, Lu Chen thought about it, but there was no way.

Even if there is a way, whether you can safely leave with money is still a question.

If he met an evil cultivator or a demonic cultivator, Lu Chen would still end up in vain.

Therefore, although spiritual crystals are more valuable than money, Lu Chen is not happy at all.

Anyway, money can allow him to buy some meat and food at this stage, which will make it much easier to build up strength in the later stage.

"If it doesn't work, I'll find my second uncle and go hunting some hares, pheasants and other game in the mountains and forests to supplement my nutrition."

Lu Chen had no choice but to focus on Orion's second uncle.

As for not knowing how to bow and arrow, Lu Chen didn't worry at all. He just borrowed a secondary bow from his second uncle and practiced for a while.

Relying on his insights, Lu Chen was confident that he could hit every shot without missing a beat.

After thinking about his next plan, Lu Chen got up and headed directly to his second uncle's house.

Aunt Zhang saw Lu Chen walking towards her house and asked quickly: "Er baby, what's the matter?"

"Aunt Zhang, I came to see my second uncle today. I want to learn how to hunt in the mountains. I don't know when my second uncle will come back." Lu Chen simply explained the purpose of his visit.

"You kid, you finally thought about it. Your uncle will probably be back before evening, so you can wait here for a while!" Aunt Zhang said politely.

"Row."

However, Lu Chen did not just sit in front of the door in a daze. Instead, he went to the pile of firewood, picked up the ax beside him, and split the unfinished firewood.

Seeing this, Aunt Zhang immediately said: "Er boy, just rest. Just wait until your uncle comes back to chop these firewood."

Even though Aunt Zhang said so, she didn't step forward to stop her.

"Anyway, it's good to be idle. Chopping firewood for a while will make you sweat and stretch your muscles." Lu Chen smiled and continued to chop firewood.

"Okay, don't be tired." Aunt Zhang said and continued to work on her needlework.

As for Gou Wazi, he was not at home at this time and went to play in the field and creek not far away.

Not long after, Lu Chen's second uncle, Lu Hai, came back carrying a rabbit and a pheasant.

When he saw Lu Chen chopping firewood, he shouted loudly: "Erwazi, how can you sing today?"

"Second uncle, you're back!" Lu Chen said and put the ax aside.

At this time, the wood next to the firewood pile was almost chopped, with only a few pieces left unfinished.

"You kid, your temperament has changed a lot since you got sick." Lu Hai looked at Lu Chen carefully.

"People always change." Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Okay! Let's finish dinner here tonight and then go back!" Lu Hai said in a loud voice.

"Yeah." Lu Chen nodded.

Aunt Zhang, who heard the commotion, quickly walked to Lu Hai, whispered for a while, and told Lu Chen that he was going to learn hunting from him.

"Erwazi, I have no problem with you wanting to learn hunting from me, but you need to obey me in everything after entering the mountains. Otherwise, you'd better give up!" Lu Hai said the ugly words first.

After all, it is safe to go into the mountains. If you encounter an insect or something strange, you must take cover immediately and leave quietly.

If Lu Chen failed to follow his warning, he might kill both of them.

"No problem." Lu Chen assured.

"Don't agree so readily. I will teach you archery later. If you can't hit the target fifty steps away, just practice more and come back to me." Lu Hai didn't ask because of Lu Chen's promise. Take him into the mountains immediately.

"Okay." Lu Chen nodded happily.

Seeing that Lu Chen's expression didn't seem to be fake, Lu Hai immediately understood that Lu Chen really wanted to go hunting in the mountains with him and learn a craft.

"Wait here for a while." Lu Hai said before carrying the hare and pheasant into the house.

After a while, Lu Hai took a secondary bow and a quiver with six arrows in it.

"Get it." Lu Hai said and handed the bow and arrow to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen immediately took the bow and arrow and put the quiver on his waist.

"This is the bow and arrow I have used before. It is just right for you. Next, I will tell you about archery."

As Lu Hai spoke, he held the bow in his left hand, stood on the spot with his feet shoulder-width apart, and then leaned forward slightly.

After standing up, Lu Hai asked, "Did you see my standing posture?"

"Yeah." Lu Chen nodded slightly.

"If you want to shoot accurately in archery, you need to make sure you stand properly, then aim, and then relax."

As he spoke, Lu Hai took out a feather arrow, nocked it, buckled the string, and pre-pulled it. He didn't see how to aim before letting go of the feather arrow in his hand.

Whoosh!
Lu Chen saw the feathered arrow hitting the haystack in the distance.

"Do you understand?" Lu Hai turned to look at Lu Chen and asked.

"Understood." Lu Chen nodded.

"Huh!" Lu Hai thought that Lu Chen was pretending to know in order to show that he knew, so he couldn't help but snorted coldly, and then got out of the way, "Since you understand, let's give it a try."

"Okay." Lu Chen knew that Lu Hai didn't trust him.

However - Lu Chen dared to make it clear that it was not because of his outstanding talent, but because he could continuously gain insights into bows and arrows through the system.

He believed that before long, he would be able to far surpass the land and sea in archery.

Of course... the reason why Lu Chen came to Lu Hai was because he was too unfamiliar with the mountain and forest environment.

He needs someone to guide him in the early stages and teach him how to survive in the mountains and forests, how to avoid snakes, insects, rats and ants, as well as which plants are poisonous, which plants are non-toxic, which water is drinkable, and other things to pay attention to in the mountains and forests.

Simple archery is not difficult for Lu Chen, but these life experiences are not something that Lu Chen can master at once.

Of course, if you are strong enough to ignore these external factors, you can naturally go on a rampage.

Lu Chen came to the position where Lu Hai stood just now, imitated him to stand with his feet spread out, set up his bow and shoot an arrow. Without any accident, Lu Chen's arrow missed the target.

Lu Chen was not surprised by this. When he retracted his bow, he absorbed the white light group in front of him.

【Ding!Get a hint of bow and arrow enlightenment. 】

"The posture is okay, but the accuracy is ridiculously poor." Lu Hai commented.

"If I practice for a while longer, I'll be able to hit the bullseye on the haystack." Lu Chen said calmly.

"Archery is not that easy." Lu Hai thought Lu Chen was impatient and couldn't help but frown.

Seeing this, Lu Chen didn't tell the difference, but continued: "I will continue to practice first, and when I can hit the target, I will ask my second uncle to come over and check it."

"Okay, you can practice here first!" Lu Hai said and went back to the house.

He didn't take Lu Chen's big words too seriously. After he had shot hundreds or thousands of times, he understood that archery was not that easy.

laugh!laugh!
As Lu Chen shot more and more arrows, he became more and more proficient in bow and arrow.

After shooting twenty arrows, Lu Chen was able to avoid missing the target.

However, at this time, Lu Chen's energy was also exhausted.

When Lu Hai came out of the house, he saw Lu Chen pulling out an arrow from the edge of the haystack. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Did you shoot this!?"

Seeing Lu Hai's expression of disbelief, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Yes."

"You shoot another arrow, and I'll take a look." Lu Hai said and pulled Lu Chen to the position where he just shot the arrow.

"Then I'll start." Lu Chen glanced at Lu Hai, who was looking tense at the side, then stood up smoothly, drew his bow and shot an arrow.

Whoosh!
The feather arrow shot by Lu Chen hit the edge of the haystack three finger widths inward.

When Lu Chen drew back his bow and looked at Lu Hai, he saw him looking at him with wide eyes and a complicated expression.

"Second uncle." Lu Chen said and waved his hand in front of Lu Hai's eyes.

"Okay, okay, brother is alive in heaven, you can rest in peace." Lu Hai said with a trace of tears in the corners of his eyes.

"Everything will be fine in the future." Lu Chen said.

"Erwazi, you are the most talented archer I have ever seen. With your potential, you will be the hunting king of our generation in the future." Lu Hai said excitedly.

In the countryside, if you have good skills, you can easily get a wife.

Lu Hai finally no longer has to worry about the future affairs of Lu Chen's family.

Lu Chen smiled and didn't take it to heart. His pursuit was not something that a rural hunter could satisfy.

"Then when can I go hunting in the mountains with my second uncle?" Lu Chen asked.

This is what he cares about.

"Huh?" Lu Hai pondered for a moment, having some hard decisions. Originally, he wanted Lu Chen to practice his archery skills.

However, based on Lu Chen's current performance, it is estimated that he will be able to hit the target in less than half a month.

Then the two of them go out into the forest together so that they can have someone to take care of them.

Although hunters can hunt some hares, pheasants, wild boar and other game, it is very dangerous if they encounter a colorful tiger, not to mention that there are all kinds of strange insects and miasma in the mountain forest.

"Erwazi, you continue to practice for a few days. If you can hit the target, I will take you into the mountains." Lu Hai looked at Lu Chen and said.

"Okay, then the second uncle is not allowed to go back on his word!" Lu Chen said with a smile.

It is not difficult to hit the target. After a few days of practice, you will be able to hit the target every time within fifty steps.

"Hahaha, you kid, could your second uncle still lie to you?" Lu Hai laughed.

He was full of joy for this nephew. If he could become a marksman in the future, his family's conditions would also improve a lot.

Some excess prey can also be sold at the town market.

At this time, Aunt Zhang, who had been busy in the kitchen, came out and shouted: "You uncle and nephew, stop standing there and wait, come back and eat!"

"I know, the whole thing is embarrassing." Lu Hai replied impatiently.

"Just come." Lu Chen smiled.

Then the two of them came to the kitchen table together.

The pheasants returned from hunting on land and sea have been processed and made into a pot of chicken soup.

There are two side dishes and a bowl of brown rice on the side.

"You're welcome, Er, you can serve more yourself." Aunt Zhang said from the side.

"Yeah." Lu Chen nodded, picked up the rice spoon and poured half a bowl of brown rice.

In ancient times, it was considered good to have brown rice instead of porridge in the countryside.

But compared with Lu Chen's previous life, it was naturally much worse.

"Second son, don't be so open-minded in our house and beat more." Aunt Zhang pretended to be unhappy when she saw that Lu Chen only had half a bowl of rice.

"It's not too late to fight again after you finish eating." Lu Chen said with a smile.

I didn't really go to get rice again and fill the whole bowl.

"Erwazi is not a child. He will give him a spanking after eating." Lu Hai interjected.

I don't like Aunt Zhang's behavior very much.

"By the way, where is Gou Wa Zi? Why haven't he come back yet?" Lu Chen asked.

"Maybe I went wild with the river shrimps and will be back later." Aunt Zhang said indifferently.

Gouwazi doesn't play wildly outside for a day or two anymore. He comes back consciously every time it's meal time.

"Oh!" Lu Chen suddenly said.

After a while, Lu Chen heard Gou Wazi's voice coming from outside the door.

"Mom, I'm back."

When Gou Wazi came to the kitchen, Lu Chen saw that he was covered in mud and there were a few dried mud marks on his face.

Apparently, it was crazy to have fun outside.

"You've been running into the river every day and you've made yourself dirty. Let's see if I can take care of you tonight." Aunt Zhang threatened.

"Mom, I was wrong." Gouwazi quickly admitted his mistake.

But judging from his expression, he should go back to fish in the river tomorrow.

At this time, Gouwazi noticed that there was an extra person in the room, "Second brother, you are here too!"

"Well, I'm here to learn hunting from my second uncle." Lu Chen replied with a smile.

"Great, this way, second brother, you can come over and play with me more often." Gou Wazi said happily, completely forgetting Aunt Zhang's warning just now.

"Why don't you wash off the dirt on your body!" Lu Hai stared at Gou Wazi seriously and said.

Gouwazi suddenly became excited and hurriedly ran outside the house, picked up a spoonful of water, and washed his hands, feet, and face before entering the house to eat.
