The Zhuang family's mountain region abounds with wild ga, and various wild animals can be found everywhere.
Wild pheasants, wild boars, and wild rabbits; when luck is on their side, they might even encounter creatures like sika deer.
Several n from the Zhuang Clan showed off to Su Chen on purpose, and it has to be said, these n had quite accurate archery skills.
Not that every arrow hit its target, but they rarely missed.
In less than two hours, each man had bagged a number of animals.
"How about it, brother Su Chen, my archery isn't bad, right?" one of the Zhuang family n who lost to Su Chen in arm-wrestling last night said with a smile and a proud expression on his face.
His na is Ah Hua; his archery was considered good among Yangquan Village. At least half of the killed ga were his doing.
Although Su Chen was physically stronger than him, it didn't an that Su Chen's archery skills were necessarily better.
Su Chen nodded and said, "Brother Ah Hua's archery is indeed quite good."
"Tch, isn't it? I've practiced for several years, no choice, Zhao Di just likes n who are good with a bow," Ah Hua said naively as he scratched his head.
Zhao Di, the girl that Ah Hua liked.
She was one of the top beauties in Yangquan Village, on par with Huo i.
The only difference was that Huo i was already married, while Zhao Di was not.
Besides being the object of Ah Hua's affection, she was also the dream girl of other n.
However, Zhao Di had said that she would only marry the man with the best archery skills in the village.
"Brother Su Chen, why don't you give it a try?" Ah Hua offered his bow and Arrow to Su Chen.
Su Chen nodded and then took the bow and Arrow.
Just as he was about to shoot, Ah Hua stopped him and made a hushing gesture, then pointed in another direction.
Su Chen looked puzzled but followed the direction Ah Hua indicated and imdiately saw a little fellow over a foot long, shining with silver light, very beautiful.
"See, that's a silver fox!"
Everyone was visibly excited.
Silver foxes were very rare, and their fur was the most expensive among all the fox fur colors.
"Ah Hua, if you can hunt this silver fox, make its skin into a scarf, and give it to Zhao Di, maybe she will agree to your marriage proposal."
"Yeah, but be careful, you can only shoot the legs, otherwise if you damage the fur, its value will significantly decrease."
Su Chen suddenly understood – the reason Ah Hua didn't let him shoot was for fear he might damage the fox's fur.
Shrugging his shoulders, he handed the bow and Arrow back to Ah Hua.
Ah Hua excitedly reclaid the bow and Arrow.
After all, it was so rare to see a silver fox; if he could really make a scarf from an entire piece of silver fox fur, maybe it would win Zhao Di's affection and he could marry the beauty.
Whiz!
Finally, Ah Hua fired an Arrow.
Unfortunately, he missed.
Because he was afraid of hurting other parts of the silver fox, he could only aim for the legs, making it difficult even for Ah Hua to hit.
After all, the legs of a silver fox were only about two or three centiters thick.
Startled, the silver fox imdiately bolted.
"Chase it!" Naturally, they didn't intend to let it escape.
They imdiately took their hunting dogs and gave chase.
They pursued for several kiloters.
Whiz, whiz!
Ah Hua shot several arrows in succession but couldn't hit the target.
He couldn't help but feel frustrated.
"Brother Ah Hua, let give it a try," Su Chen said.
Ahua was sowhat reluctant. After all, such an opportunity was incredibly rare. It would be bad if Su Chen damaged the silver fox's fur.
"Otherwise, let's just let brother Su Chen have a try. You can't hit it anyway," so other Zhuang Clan n were getting impatient.
After all, they weren't the ones trying to marry Zhao Di.
To them, a silver fox was nothing more than money.
"Fine then." Ahua helplessly handed the bow and Arrow to Su Chen.
Su Chen picked up an Arrow and placed it on the string.
However, he didn't aim for the silver fox's leg, but at its head!
"Shoot for the leg, don't aim at the head!" Ahua wanted to stop him.
For a fox scarf, the most important part could be said to be the head. Imperfections elsewhere could be nded and might not be noticeable.
But the fox scarf is supposed to keep the head intact, and when worn, the head is usually placed in the most prominent position.
If the fur on the head was damaged, then it could no longer be made into a scarf.
But it was too late, Su Chen had already released the Arrow.
Ahua sighed. Even if Su Chen hit the mark, the fox fur was ruined.
Anyway, a silver fox fur might not be enough to move Zhao Di's heart.
Thud!
The sharp Arrow penetrated the silver fox's head.
"It's hit, it's hit!" A Zhuang Clan man imdiately ran over to pick up the fallen silver fox.
Ahua, however, was not pleased at all.
"Wow, brother Su Chen, your archery skills are incredible. I'm afraid even the best Hunter in the village can't compare with you!" the Zhuang family man who went to collect the silver fox suddenly exclaid in surprise.
Ahua was sowhat dissatisfied. He was the best Hunter in the village. Could Su Chen be better than him?
If it were aiming for the head, he would've hit with his first shot. What was so surprising about Su Chen hitting the silver fox's head?
But when he saw the silver fox that Su Chen had shot, Ahua was imdiately stunned.
Because Su Chen's Arrow had accurately hit the silver fox right in the eye!
And it had only killed the fox without penetrating its body.
Even though a fox scarf eventually has eyes, it's clear that they're not real but made artificially.
Hence, the eyes of the silver fox were useless.
But how small are a silver fox's eyes? They are only a little over a centiter. Hitting that is incredibly challenging.
Moreover, the silver fox was moving.
That's why when hunting silver foxes, it's usual to aim for the legs, as not to damage the fur.
But this further proved that Su Chen's archery skills had reached a terrifying level.
The crowd couldn't help but feel frustrated. They thought that even if they couldn't out-wrestle Su Chen, they could still be better at archery, right?
It turned out that they were completely outclassed by Su Chen in archery too.
"It's just luck, just luck. Actually, I was aiming for the head, but I didn't expect to hit the eye..." Su Chen said with an awkward smile.
"Haha, Brother Su Chen, stop being so humble. Your archery skills are divine. Ahua is in for it now. If Zhao Di knows how good you are, brother Su Chen, I guess Ahua has no chance."
"You guys, please don't tell Zhao Di..." Ahua said anxiously.
Suddenly, the Zhuang Clan man called Aqiang's face changed dramatically, and his burly body trembled as he said, "Where did Ah ng encounter the blind bear today?"
Ah ng is Huo i's husband.
"I think it was at Evil Wolf Slope..."
The others glanced around the environnt, and their expressions also changed drastically.
Then, following the gaze of Aqiang.
They all took a sharp breath.
Just fifty ters away from everyone under a big tree, there sat a brown bear!
