The departure of five or six mander-level fierce beasts had already reduced the pressure of this beast tide. On top of that, their leaving caused chaos, significantly easing the pressure on the city defenders.
The City Lord of Yu Feng City and others had gathered together, looking bedraggled. At this moment, they were all exhausted but simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
"I never expected that the Lord would be so proficient in archery, it’s truly impressive!" one Awakener exclaimed in genuine admiration.
"Indeed, I was worried before that those beasts were too far away for our sound waves to reach them. However, the Lord had a solution ready, pulling out a bow and arrow."
"It wasn’t just any archery skill, firing one arrow to kill a king-level fierce beast. Honestly, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it even if I were beaten to death."
"That’s true. Initially, I thought it was impressive that he could kill mander-level fierce beasts with one arrow. But now, it seems I was too shallow, underestimating the Lord’s strength."
Everyone nodded, overwhelmed with emotion.
At this moment, dozens of two-winged black snakes were flying towards that direction.
The City Lord of Yu Feng City sighed lightly upon seeing this.
It’s not that he was unwilling to help, but he was already at the end of his rope. Besides, not everyone was skilled in archery, and at such a long distance, even with ample spiritual power, he couldn’t reach.
"Let’s return first and clean up the fierce beasts in the city. We leave that area to the Lord."
"Yes, City Lord."
The crowd responded in unison.
"?"
Chen Fan in the distance frowned slightly as he noticed the approaching two-winged black snakes.
These beasts weren’t really blinded by rage.
They had learned from the previous lesson, extending the distance between them from over a dozen miles to over twenty miles.
One poison arrow after another shot out from their mouths, hitting the ground and causing a series of explosions.
"They’re quite clever." Chen Fan muttered.
The effective range of the Heaven-Piercing Arrow was only ten kilometers.
A distance of more than twenty miles was beyond the effective range. Even if the arrows hit, they wouldn’t be very powerful.
Unless he used the Nine Provinces Arrow, but that would consume too much True Qi, and the remaining True Qi in his body could only allow him to shoot one arrow.
Fortunately, every situation has two sides.
By extending the distance, those two-winged black snakes gained safety but also significantly reduced the accuracy of their poison arrows.
Even if Chen Fan stood still, the poison arrows wouldn’t hit him.
"Let’s wait a bit longer." Chen Fan decided to wait.
Time passed bit by bit, and the two-winged black snakes also realized this.
So they tentatively shortened the distance by a few hundred meters. Seeing that Chen Fan still didn’t move, they shortened it by a few hundred meters again. Gradually, the distance closed bit by bit.
The distance finally came to twenty miles.
Chen Fan squinted his eyes.
Three two-winged black snakes had entered his range.
He was confident that he could shoot three arrows in an instant, killing these three two-winged black snakes.
But he didn’t do it and continued to wait.
The distance closed again by a few hundred meters.
The attacks of the two-winged black snakes became more accurate, almost hitting him several times, which made them very excited.
At the beginning, none of their attacks hit. The only reason for such a situation now was that the human below was exhausted, leading to slower reactions and almost being hit.
As a result, most two-winged black snakes shortened the distance to within ten kilometers and continued to shorten it.
"Hiss, hiss..."
Still, two or three two-winged black snakes maintained their rationality, hissing to remind their rades not to let their guard down since the human below could even kill their king.
Upon hearing the warning, the two-winged black snakes hesitated.
But they soon realized that their attacks had started hitting the enemy below, and they got excited again.
"Damn it!"
On the city wall, an Awakener noticed Chen Fan getting hit by the poison arrow and instantly turned pale.
"How could this happen? Wasn’t he fine before? Is it because killing the king-level fierce beast consumed too much energy?"
"Probably, if this continues, something terrible will happen!"
"City Lord! Let’s quickly go support him, or it’ll be too late!"
The crowd immediately panicked.
In every aspect, they didn’t want anything to happen to Chen Fan.
"Hmm!"
The City Lord of Yu Feng City nodded repeatedly, his face filled with worry.
Just as he was about to lead his men over, the body of the two-winged black snake at the front suddenly exploded.
"?"
Everyone was stunned.
Before they could react, the second two-winged black snake’s body exploded, followed by the third, fourth, fifth...
In the blink of an eye, five two-winged black snakes died miserably in mid-air.
The remaining dozen two-winged black snakes finally realized what had happened.
They had been tricked!
The human below had intentionally let them hit him to draw them closer.
Crafty human!
Immediately, dozens of two-winged black snakes desperately flapped their wings, trying to leave this dangerous place.
But it was already too late.
Chen Fan’s hand moved so fast it was almost invisible.
Every time an arrow flew out, a two-winged black snake would lose its life.
Soon, out of the original dozen or nearly twenty two-winged black snakes, less than a third remained.
