"There are 20 or 30 people riding wildebeests, and they can shoot arrows?"
At the dinner table, Chen Guodong's face suddenly changed, "Xiao Fan, are you talking about those bandits?"
Upon hearing these two words, Yin Fang was so scared that the chopsticks in her hand fell on the table.
"Horse thief?"
Chen Fan was shocked. There really is such a group of people
"Um."
Chen Guodong's eyes showed deep fear. "Those people rode wildebeests and came and went like the wind. Most of them knew how to shoot arrows and specifically targeted weaker targets. Sometimes, they would plunder some villages, and after robbing everything, they would burn everything down."
Chen Fan's eyes widened. These people are simply a bunch of beasts.
"In the past, many small villages were destroyed by them. Later, I heard that a group of people appeared near Songjiabao. The leader was a bald man with a ferocious look. He was at the second level of body tempering a few years ago, and now he may have reached the third level."
His voice suddenly stopped, and a look of horror appeared on his face. "Xiao Fan, are you saying that if we go there tomorrow, there's a high chance that we'll be targeted by this gang?"
In an instant, the atmosphere at the dinner table dropped to freezing point.
Yin Fang's body trembled continuously. "How about not going tomorrow? Those bandits are ruthless and kill people without blinking an eye."
"Dad, Mom, don't be nervous, I'm just asking around."
Chen Fan smiled slightly and said, "How can it be such a coincidence that they would target us instead of others? Besides, Dad, you have been to Songjiabao before, and everything was fine, right?"
"Yes, nothing really happened in the past."
As Chen Guodong spoke, there was some worry between his brows.
In the past, they would take some valuable things to exchange for food, but the amount they got was not much, and it might not be what the other party liked.
But this time it’s different. With so many things, even the people from Zhaojiabao would be tempted when they see them.
However, if we don’t go, the food will be gone and the salt will run out.
How about exchanging a little less? But one pound of meat can be exchanged for three or four pounds of rice, which is enough for the people in the village to eat for a few days. Winter is coming soon, and hunting will be too difficult at that time. It will be necessary to exchange more food.
He was in a dilemma for a moment.
Chen Fan ate the meat silently. There were twenty or thirty people, led by a bald man, and they all did what Meng Yu said.
Either Meng Yu knew it in advance and said it on purpose, or she could really predict the future.
"Anyway, we'll know everything if we go there tomorrow."
There is no reason not to go.
If what Meng Yu said was false and nothing happened, that would naturally be the best.
If everything was as Meng Yu said, and he still couldn't beat these people even if he knew the future, he might as well just find a piece of tofu and kill himself.
After finishing their meal and taking a short rest, the two went to the warehouse to practice martial arts.
Not long ago, the empty warehouse was now crowded with people. There were only about twenty people practicing martial arts, but there were quite a few onlookers around, which made people laugh and cry.
In the blink of an eye, several hours passed.
There were few people on the open ground again. Apart from Chen Fan and Zhang Ren, there was only Gu Ze, who was still practicing archery.
"Going to Songjiabao tomorrow?"
Zhang Ren asked.
"Um."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "In addition to exchanging supplies, I also want to see what the Song Family Castle looks like."
"There are indeed some differences. There is an armory over there. You can go in and take a look."
"Weapon shop?"
Chen Fan became interested, "Are there any good things for sale in there?"
Zhang Ren glanced at him and said, "Half of the bows in the village were bought there, as well as some swords and other things. They are made of special metals and can easily cut open intermediate-level beasts. Of course, these things can also be bought at street stalls, but you have to be more careful and don't get cheated."
"Well, I'll be careful."
Chen Fan couldn't help but think of the old man who was selling martial arts skills.
Tomorrow, I will go and meet him.
"That's it. It's getting late. Go back and rest early. Be careful tomorrow." After saying that, he limped towards the warehouse.
Chen Fan looked at his back, then shouted to Gu Ze who was still practicing archery: "Gu Ze, go back, you have to get up early tomorrow."
"You're going back too?"
Gu Ze watched from afar.
Chen Fan was speechless. It turned out that he was really competing with him.
No wonder so many people went back to rest one after another, but he didn't leave.
After returning home, he ate another meal, which increased his potential by about twenty points. Chen Fan burped, sat on the bed, and looked at the skill panel:
Basic marksmanship: lv6 (38.9%), features: strength level 6, power level 6, agility level 6, armament level 6, ultimate kill level 3
That's right, after almost one night of sparring, his basic marksmanship improved by two levels. Now, he can barely fight with Zhang Ren, and his proficiency has increased particularly fast.
“No wonder I was able to block several rounds of arrow rain in Meng Yu’s dream.”
Chen Fan sighed, if he continued to improve, it might be possible to block bullets with a spear.
"Let's take a look at the properties."
His eyes moved upward.
Realm: Body Tempering Level 3
Level: 8 (0/100)
Physical fitness: 69.67
Strength: 60.11
Agility: 34.28
Mental: 12.97
Potential points: 168 (7 points/day)
Experience: 10
Compared to the last time, because the basic archery and basic gun skills were upgraded by two levels, the physical strength attributes increased by 4 points, and the agility attribute also increased by 2 points.
"60 points of strength is enough to pull the 300-jin bow."
Chen Fan muttered to himself.
However, in this way, his shooting speed will be much slower. In comparison, the bow with a pulling force of 200 kilograms currently used is powerful and has a fast shooting speed, making it the best choice.
There is also a breakthrough, a chance to strengthen the body.
"Hopefully nothing will happen tomorrow."
He sighed softly.
Otherwise, he would have to kill again.
The night passed quickly.
At three or four in the morning, when the sky was dim and many people were still asleep, the hunting team was already ready to go.
What was different from the past was that everyone covered their mouths and noses with black cloth. This was also Chen Fan's suggestion, to prevent being recognized and causing unnecessary trouble.
There were already some people gathered at the entrance of the village, including Meng Yu.
"Let's go, everyone go back and wait for our good news."
Chen Guodong waved to everyone.
More than a dozen people, two people in a pair, carried the prey and walked out.
"Be careful."
"be safe."
"Be sure to come back safely."
There were constant voices of instructions behind me.
Chen Fan's gaze moved away from his mother and brother, and coincidentally, met Meng Yu's gaze.
The next moment, he nodded slightly at the latter, turned around and walked forward, carrying a bow and arrow on his back and a spear in his hand.
"Be sure to come back safely."
Meng Yu placed his hands in front of him and prayed silently in his heart.
She has done everything she can, and now it’s up to Chen Fan.
