hunt and eat

The ice cores of [Tarsus Ice] were planted one by one, and then surrounded their respective bodies, turning into ice armor of perfect size.

"Guta, your control over abilities is getting stronger and stronger." Mie Jue admired honestly.

"Well, that's it... I just want to get over that hurdle quickly, and everything else is secondary." Guta muttered in a low voice, without much complacency.

During this period of time, especially in the past month, he has become increasingly aware of the indistinct bottleneck.

For Guta, who was used to getting stronger, this feeling was really uncomfortable, so that he could only temporarily focus on improving his moves.

But how to say...

If there is a way but no skills, the skills can still be sought, but if there is a skill but no way, it stops at the skills.

It is roughly the current situation of the ancient tower.

Regardless of whether he is willing or not, his physical fitness and overall strength have indeed reached his own limit.

Even if the combat power can be further improved by means of the improvement of moves, it is already very limited, and there is no way to make leaps and bounds every time as in the past.

Under such circumstances, even if he is designated as the strongest combat force under natural disasters, he still will not feel the slightest joy.

Under natural disasters, everything is common.

He just wants to be detached!

……

Chapter 6 Seriously, aren't bows and arrows melee weapons?

"By the way... why don't you set one up for yourself?"

Pressing her face against the icy cold armor, Weiwei first squinted her eyes comfortably, and then looked at the absent-minded ancient tower in puzzlement.

Although I don't know what the temperature outside is now, but just looking at the flames seeping out from the surrounding rock walls from time to time, I can get a glimpse of the leopard.

No matter how rough the skin is, it won't be able to withstand this temperature, right?

Or Guta likes to abuse himself?

Probably seeing the thoughts in Weiwei's eyes, Guta angrily raised his hand and gave her a heavy hammer on the head.

Since Guta's height has risen to [-] meters, it has become easier to hit Weiwei, just like an adult beating a child.

"Didn't we kill a lava dragon a few days ago, just that big-headed fish that jumped out of the magma, it directly gave me a [Super Heat Resistance] ability."

"Although it is not immune to fire damage like [Lightning Rod], but the temperature is only tens of degrees, it is not the same as playing."

Guta raised his head arrogantly.

"It's amazing, Guta."

Nia clapped her hands at the right time, causing Guta to burst into tears.

Sure enough, Nia is different from these cold and violent guys.

"Niya, don't spoil Guta anymore... This guy's nose is going up to the sky!"

Weiwei shouted loudly, not paying any attention to Guta's vicious stare.

"Okay, stop messing around." Shaking her head helplessly, Nia pointed to the bottom of the cave that was about the size of two or three football fields that had appeared before her eyes.

"Here is the place."

I don't know if it's because of the magma in the ground, or because of the yellow and green slime molds that can be seen everywhere here. It's obviously in the ground without a light source, but under the light of countless fires, it's like daytime.

In the very center of the cave, a monster covered in royal blue carapace, with mallet-shaped horns and columnar fists, was sleeping peacefully on a red stone.

The green slime mold covering the head and forelimbs, from time to time, quickly changed from green to yellow, and then yellow to red under the action of high temperature, and finally exploded into a dazzling flame with a loud explosion sound.

What's weird is that, compared to the violent explosions around him, the sound of footsteps, which could be considered almost imperceptible, woke up the monster immediately.

A pair of small eyeballs swept a few directions slightly, and fixed their eyes on the blue star team that was gradually approaching.

Amidst the sound of roaring upwards, the monster straightened its upper body and set off a foul wind in the red underground cave in an instant.

"Is this Broken Dragon? It's the first time I've seen it, so it looks like this."

Guta looked curiously at the monster with a blue hard carapace not far away, and said in admiration.

Compared with other large beast dragon species, Broken Dragon's physique is not too exaggerated, only about 15 meters, which can be regarded as the petite size of beast dragon species.

But even so, this kind of monster still firmly occupies the upper ecological niche of monsters in the volcanic area, and there are naturally reasons for this.

"Then... let me show you the results of my practice." Nia stepped forward without any fear, and at a distance of more than 20 meters from the Broken Dragon, she untied the huge black and white long gun from behind. bow.

【Longbow · Shuofeng】

Its main raw materials come from the special materials obtained from the two Xunlongs at the other end, that is, Bai Jifeng, during the mission of the ancient pagoda, and are finally processed and manufactured through the special forging technology of Jieyun Village.

In a sense, it is a special longbow specially made for Nia, and there is no possibility of replicating it.

Its main special ability is to shoot out Nia's own true energy in a manner similar to a storm beam.

Of course, although there is such a means of condensing arrows with true energy similar to the wind attribute, [Shuo Feng] can still use bows and arrows made of solid metal or special materials, and the power will be improved to a certain extent.

It's just that compared to the ammunition that can be easily carried by heavy crossbow guns and light crossbow guns, the arrows used by bows and arrows are much more troublesome in terms of size and portability.

Therefore, in regular hunting, even those hunters who use longbows will not carry too many arrows with them.

One is that most of the arrows are relatively large in size, and carrying too many arrows will easily cause inconvenience.

The second reason is that compared with true energy arrows, the output of physical arrows is high, but there are not many people who can continuously pull the bowstring, especially this kind of giant bow and arrow used against monsters.

Perhaps in the hands of those hunters who are proficient in this way, the power of shooting can be comparable to that of mobile cannons, and it is still the kind that aims at the weak point.

But this kind of powerful shooting puts too much load on the human body. If you want to avoid hurting your fingers and wrists, it is impossible to maintain an excessively high frequency in a short period of time.

And this cooling time is enough for these hunters to find ways to recover those generally expensive arrows.

At this time, behind Nia, apart from the bow and knife [Gao Xianshi] that she carried all year round, there was only a quiver with five arrows left.

This is also the normal configuration of most bow hunters. Of course, this does not include the kind of berserkers who charge forward with their bow arms under the name of archers.

Just like the point mentioned a long time ago, this kind of flesh-blooded man is enough to destroy the opponent in front of him with his fists.

The so-called weapon specialization is almost a joke to them.

Wouldn't it be nice to smash the monster's dog's head with one punch?

To be honest, the previous ancient pagodas also had this tendency to some extent, but after he encountered that bottleneck, especially after knowing that it was difficult for him to break through with pure physical strength, his research on skills became more and more profound. .

Unlike Guta, who has superhuman strength from the very beginning, Nia has been very aware of her shortcomings in strength since the first day she became a hunter.

Because of this, her approach has always been skillful.

And after she awakened the true meaning of qi [precise manipulation] that can perfectly control her body and weapons, this skill has become even more difficult to replicate.

And during the days when he was practicing archery in Jieyun Village, Yunxiao also deliberately increased the development of his ability to control Nia.

And on the last day of her practice, facing Nia, who has perfectly integrated her bow skills and the true meaning of Qi, even Yun Xiao was a little moved.

"You should have used a bow from the beginning, what a pity."

If she had practiced archery since she was a child, and awakened that perfect control ability at the right time, then Nia would probably be on the seed list of the ancient dragon regiment now, and could even threaten the super-standard existence of the ancient tower.

With excellent physical coordination, the true meaning of Qi in precise operation, coupled with the always alert and flexible mind, and clear judgment on form, no matter from which point of view, this girl is simply a natural archer.

As for the so-called lack of strength, it can be solved by relying on follow-up training and the strengthening of true energy.

Facing Master Yunxiao's sighs and regrets, Niya didn't have much regret or regret.

She just pulled the hair on one side of her cheek, and said with a light smile, "It's not too late to start now."

"There is no need to strive for perfection in everything."

This resolute and intelligent gentle girl knows better than anyone else that immersing herself in remorse for the past will only kill her self who holds infinite hope for the future.

What is gained is more valuable than what is lost.

Besides, simply becoming stronger is meaningless to her.

She just needs to stand quietly behind that fool and watch him keep going.

That is, the little happiness that she holds in the palm of her hand and regards it as a treasure.

"Before we knew it, we had come a long way."

Nia hummed softly, watching the Broken Dragon getting closer and about to rush in front of her, she slowly raised the giant bow in her hand.

In the next second, three white air arrows shot out at the same time, and the finished glyph chased towards Broken Dragon's head.

[Thunderbolt · Falling Stars]

Before Broken Dragon could evade, three air arrows spontaneously exploded.

At the same time, countless tiny arrows, like starlight, gushed out from the swelling white smoke, covering the broken dragon's head overwhelmingly.

……

Chapter 7 The limit of perception is the limit of archers!

Roar!

After the storm of arrows, his body was covered with cuts and bruises, especially the throat and other vital parts, and the broken dragon with countless fine scars roared and swung its fists covered with yellow-green explosive slime, smashing towards Nia's position.

Sliding sideways nimbly, Nia dodged Broken Dragon's fist, letting the ground behind her explode into red flames, and fired another volley towards Broken Dragon's head.

This time, the number of arrows shot reached a staggering six.

Perhaps for most archers, it is better to focus on shooting one arrow that hits the vital point directly than to shoot multiple flashy arrows with severely reduced accuracy and power, but for Nia, this kind of trouble does not exist.

Through the true spirit of [Precise Operation], not only can she perfectly control her body, so that the output of the volley will not drop too much, but she can also maintain absolute control over the arrows she shoots.

To use the terminology in the game, the heart rate and attack power are almost full.

Seeing the arrows that seemed to be living things, each shooting towards him along a strangely changing curve, Broken Dragon swayed his body, and then drifted a full 90 degrees at extreme speed with the point where his fist landed as the center of the circle.

But even so, it still couldn't completely escape Nia's arrows, and the carapace on its back and sides were punched with several pits and depressions by the air arrows.

Of course, this injury is nothing to Broken Dragon, who has been accustomed to explosions all year round.

It just makes it angrier.

Sure enough, the next moment, as the body slowly sank, Broken Dragon kicked the ground violently and leaped high.

The columnar forelegs with a lot of green slime fell straight down towards Nia below.

[Dragon Breaking Skill Leaping Bomb]

Mie Jue, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, saw the danger of this move, and hurried forward, but was stopped by the ancient tower next to him by his tail.

Looking at the extinction of doubts, Guta just said a word lightly.

"This is Nia's stage, watch patiently."

Perhaps Broken Dragon's explosive punch is really dangerous, even before it is used, Nia may not even be able to handle it.

However, Guta chose to trust her unreservedly just because Nia had never called out the word "help".

Since the snow lion incident, Nia has never tried to be brave.

Unlike Guta, whose blood surges from time to time, she is more calm and objective, and has a clear understanding of herself and the situation at all times, and never makes people worry.

At the same time, it is also an important think tank of the Canglan Star team.

Of course, most of the time, Nia also takes on the role of housekeeper, and needs to take care of these giant babies headed by Guta and Weiwei from time to time.

All in all, although I don't know how much Nia has grown in the past few months, just seeing her calm and composed appearance, Guta no longer has any doubts.

It's hard for you to imagine that such a smart girl would take her own life as a joke.

Instead of thinking about these boring thoughts, it's better to wait and see how Nia will deal with the attack of the broken dragon.

Guta is full of expectations for the growth of this partner who has been with him all the way and hasn't seen him for several months.

Looking at the monster that was getting closer and closer, Nia's heart was as calm as the sea.

From her perspective, she could even vaguely see the slime mold on Broken Dragon's arm that gradually turned yellow or even red.

That means that these slime molds have been completely activated, and may cause violent explosions due to collisions at any time.

Nia, who has read a lot of books and likes to study monster materials by herself when she has nothing to do, naturally knows this very well.

But even so, there is still nothing to be afraid of.
