After Wu Qi drank the liquor, most of the alcohol was swallowed up and digested by the cells along the way before invading the cerebral cortex. Only a small part of the alcohol reached its destination, which gave Wu Qi a faint impulse of excitement.
It just so happened that Wu Qi also wanted to see up close what kind of strength the hunters in the hunter team, as the strongest force group in the village, had.
Wu Qi followed Captain Yang and a group of hunters to a large table where bows were placed. The bow's body material comes from a mutated yew tree, which is extremely tough. The length of the bow is greater than the arm span of an ordinary person. The strings are made from the tendons of the iron-cracked brown bear.
Wu Qi picked up the giant bow with one hand. He found that the giant bow weighed five kilograms. Not only was the size exaggerated, but the weight should not be underestimated.
In the dawn era, most people would choose firearms as personal weapons in the wilderness, because bows are not only difficult to use, have low attack power, and short range, but also consume a lot of physical energy. In an era of rapid technological advancement, there are more excellent choices for making bows than in primitive societies, but people have forgotten the existence of this weapon.
Wu Qi started using a bow when he was 9 years old. He listened to Ruorong's story and asked Ruorong to make him a bow that fit his body's span. However, he found that a weapon like a bow could only have the negative effect of frightening mutant animals with hardened skin. It was far less effective than using a long knife to sneak close to the prey and cut the vital parts with a single slash, so he regarded the bow as abandoned. Toys are generally thrown away.
It wasn't until two months ago, when Wu Qi was escaping from the G011 base at the last moment, that he was suddenly shot through the shoulder by a gold and bronze arrow at the bottom of the city wall, cutting off the pipa bone, and he was shocked to realize that there were strong bows and powerful archers in the dawn era.
Wu Qi weighed the giant bow and put it upright in a familiar position. He took an arrow with a wooden plug from the quiver and placed it on the string made of animal sinew.
When Captain Hong saw Wu Qi's posture, he knew that Wu Qi was a warrior who could use a bow rather than a novice. He suddenly became more interested, so that he could win the game openly in front of his brothers.
Captain Hong raised his bow and arrow in the same movement, and then said with a smile: "Brother Wu, let's compete with ten arrows. Whoever shoots the highest number of arrows will win. How about the loser taking off his clothes and dancing in front of the bonfire?"
Wu Qiduo asked: "Are you sure you want to bet? Take off all or just a pair of underwear?"
Captain Hong was choked by Wu Qi's words, and the hunters around him immediately shouted "Take them all off", the sound was louder than the thundering gongs and drums.
He imagined that they and Wu Qi had just met and it was not appropriate to bet too much. Moreover, he saw that Wu Qi's expression was very calm. When he uttered the word "take it all off", he was as confident as if he could never lose.
Captain Hong coughed: "Let's just have a pair of underpants left, there are so many women and children here."
Wu Qi agreed to Captain Hong's choice, so he used both arms to pull out the giant bow. The moment he pulled out the giant bow, Wu Qi felt strong resistance, as if the tiny animal tendon string was pressing against a huge mountain.
For a giant bow that has doubled in size, the resistance to drawing the bow will increase by a greater multiple. Wu Qi somewhat understood why the mysterious archer who used that golden and bronze arrow could shoot such a powerful and secretive arrow. As long as that enemy has a strong bow and the physical abilities to match, that's fine.
Wu Qi exerted force with both arms, breaking through the strong resistance, and after half a second, he drew the full bow like a gibbous moon! His dark eyes reflected the bright moon in the sky and the torch on the ground, focusing on the center of the hardwood target. His body was in perfect coordination, and he recalled every detail of the movements Ruorong had taught him.
The moment his fingers were released, the wooden arrow left the string, tore through the air as fast as a shadow, and hit the target fifty meters away!
boom! The sound of impact sounded on both targets at the same time. Wu Qi and Captain Yang hit the red heart in the center of the target without exception.
However, at the same moment, spider web-like cracks appeared in the target that Wu Qi hit. The cracks expanded rapidly within 0.1 seconds. In the end, the entire hardwood target turned into dozens of wood fragments, sprayed backwards, and landed with a crash. .
The hunters all widened their eyes. They are most aware of the power limit set at the beginning of the creation of this giant bow. Because it is a bow made of mutated yew wood and the sinews of an iron-cracked brown bear, the power of the arrows shot by pulling the nine-point bow is extremely exaggerated. With the specially polished iron arrowheads repeatedly spiraling, not even a mutated animal with extremely hard skin can handle it. The arrow penetrated and exploded the internal organs.
But when the bow is fully drawn, no one except the hunter with the most superb bow skills can do it, and the accuracy of the bow hunter will be reduced when he chooses to fully draw the bow.
Wu Qi's arrow was equivalent to standing at the top of the hunter team's bow skills!
After shooting the arrow, Wu Qi shook his head with some dissatisfaction. He misestimated the power of the giant bow before loosening the string, resulting in imperfect performance. If he had played perfectly, the corked arrow should have made a round hole in the center of the target, rather than shattering the entire target in dispersion.
Captain Hong was still immersed in the shock that Wu Qi had just pulled a full bow, because his limit was the nine-point bow. Wu Qi said softly: "I'm sorry, can you change the target and continue the competition?"
Captain Hong felt that his skills were inferior to others, but he could not break the bet, so he bit the bullet and said through gritted teeth: "Of course."
Afterwards, Wu Qi and Captain Hong competed with ten arrows. Captain Hong was affected by his mentality and the second arrow only hit the ninth ring. The final score between the two was 100 rings to 99 rings.
Captain Hong's face turned completely blue, and he felt for a moment that he was sober that he didn't drink any strong alcohol. He looked back at the square where bonfires were blazing. There were not too many women and children in colorful clothes!
Captain Hong felt chills running down his spine and hair all over his body. Fortunately, he had subconsciously left a step, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Wu Qi smiled slightly, and his smile was kind, but in Captain Hong's eyes, he looked like a perfect devil who couldn't make mistakes! Wu Qi walked towards Captain Hong and bowed slightly humbly.
"I agree. I had a great time tonight, and I would like to thank Captain Hong and everyone in the hunter team for the invitation."
The men in the hunter team waved their hands and enthusiastically expressed that it was an honor for them to see Wu Qi's rare skills. They said that after drinking and shooting arrows, we would become friends. If you have time, you can come to the team building in the south to sit there. .
After communicating with Wu Qi, the four hunters surrounded their captain with smiles and dragged him semi-forcefully to the bonfire square. After walking ten meters away, Wu Qi heard them talking.
"Captain, if you want to dance, you have to have fun. No matter how coy you are, it's not too late to drink two more bottles of strong liquor!"
Captain Hong couldn't hold himself any longer and shouted in shame and anger.
"Are you devils!"
