Chapter 10 Attack
Chapter 10 Attack
Li Mosi was too lazy to care about the saintess breathing.
He turned around and called to his disciple, "Ziyi, let's go outside to practice; it's not far enough from here."
Although Zi Yi just drew the bow a little more than halfway, compared to drawing it fully, he exerted less than half the force.
Practicing at this distance inside the cave, if you were to draw your bow fully and practice shooting, the arrow would probably end up embedded in a haystack.
If the arrow fletching is damaged, the practice arrow cannot be reused.
Now, every wounded one is one less to go, so we must cherish them.
"Yes, Master."
Zi Yi followed behind Li Mosi with a bow and arrow. When he saw Li Mosi pushing the haystack, he took two more steps forward to help, but then realized that he was holding a bow and arrow, so he put the bow and arrow on the stone table.
After some effort, the master and apprentice pushed the haystack to the gentle slope outside the cave.
The sky was still predominantly deep blue, but also slightly whitish.
Based on Li Mosi's experience of staying up late, it was probably around four or five in the morning.
Although you can only see the outline, it doesn't stop you from practicing archery.
After all, the size of the haystack was conspicuous enough.
After placing the haystack, Li Mosi scattered a layer of dry grass forty paces away from the haystack to mark its location.
"Ziyi, stand here and try shooting an arrow. This time, draw the bow fully."
"Alright, Master. I'll go get the bow first."
"Go ahead, and bring my books with you too."
Watching Zi Yi return to the cave, Li Mosi scattered dry grass at positions twenty and sixty paces away.
In his expectation, the bow, when fully drawn, should be able to hit any target within thirty meters.
"Awoo~"
"Woo~ Awoooooo!"
A wolf howl echoed, and Li Mosi felt that the number seemed a bit small.
Zi Yi returned quickly.
At this moment, he had a quiver behind his waist that was longer than an arrow, and the quiver was made of vines.
The arrow fletching was sticking out, so there must have been something padding inside.
"My teacher, your book."
Zi Yi walked up to Li Mosi and presented him with the book using both hands.
"Okay." Li Mosi took the book and pointed to the forty-step marker next to her feet: "You remember the stance for shooting at the haystack from here, right?"
Zi Yi nodded vigorously: "I remember."
After saying that, he stepped onto the dry grass, nocked an arrow, and assumed the basic archery posture that Li Mosi had just taught him.
After making slight adjustments himself, his posture was correct.
Li Mosi nodded: "No problem. This time, slowly draw the bow and see if you can draw it fully."
"OK."
Zi Yi answered and began to pull the bowstring hard.
Goblins generally have a low body fat percentage. In the dim light of day, Li Mosi could see that Zi Yi's arm muscles were bulging and taut, and his back muscles were also clearly exerting force.
He quickly drew the bow more than halfway, then slowed down and a slight tremor was visible to the naked eye.
Next, it's time to maximize the positioning.
Ke Ziyi stopped.
His muscles began to tremble violently.
"Master, I can't pull it anymore."
After saying that, he let go, and the arrow shot out instantly.
Zi Yi clearly lost his balance, and Li Mosi supported him.
He said to his disciple, "Try to feel what you just felt."
After saying that, he walked over to the haystack to take a look.
During this practice, the arrows embedded themselves deeply into the haystack, almost ruining the fletching.
This disciple is quite strong.
Looking at the arrows, Li Mosi came to a conclusion.
There were no obvious signs of descent, so this range is feasible.
However, he still drew out his practice arrows and shot one himself.
This body can indeed draw the bow to its full extent, and once fully drawn, the bow can indeed achieve a range of thirty meters without dropping...
He knew where Ziyi's problem lay.
The goblin's reach is too short.
"My late master, I..."
Seeing the gap between himself and his former teacher, Zi Yi felt that he was too incompetent.
"This is not your problem."
Li Mosi interrupted him.
"At least you're better now than when you were throwing spears, and that's enough. Keep practicing, because in battle, the enemy might not give you time to adjust your stance."
"Yes, Master."
Li Mosi began to train Zi Yi in continuous archery.
The training process was just as brutal as that of most beginners.
Zi Yi can be said to have a strong learning ability, but he can't help but grip the bow tightly when he's nervous, and then squeeze the arrow tail after adjusting.
The former causes the arrow to miss its mark, while the latter causes it to fall.
Fortunately, Ziyi was lucky and was not hit on the arm by the string.
Gradually, dawn broke.
Zi Yi felt the weakness in his arms and drank the leftover bowl of food from last night.
Li Mosi helped him stretch and relax.
After watching his disciple finish his food, he asked, "Tell me how you feel."
"Yes, Master."
After agreeing, Zi Yi looked up at the sky and recalled...
"At first, I felt it was quite similar to spear throwing, and I thought it was relatively easy. But later I found that there were quite a few areas to cover, and when the speed increased, I couldn't keep up..."
Although he managed to keep up later, he quickly ran out of energy again after firing continuously.
"Yes, very good."
Li Mosi was very satisfied with Zi Yi's review.
Because Ziyi really learns very quickly.
After several hours of practice, although I can't instantly activate the combat stance, I can activate it in a few seconds.
This is perfectly adequate for ambushes and hunting.
As long as you maintain a good distance from goblins, you can also shoot them senseless with arrows.
After saying that, Ziyi stood up again with his bow in hand: "Master, I have regained my strength and will continue practicing."
Li Mosi was surprised by Zi Yi's recovery ability, but after recalling his experience using the spear, she nodded: "Okay, go ahead."
Ziyi went to shoot arrows, and he opened a book to read.
He really likes looking at the full-color illustrations above.
Just as I started looking, a bamboo stick with words engraved on it appeared in front of me.
[Observation complete, information summary finished]
"?"
After closing the "Archery Manual," Li Mosi brought up the "Joyful Mountains and Waters" app to take a look.
At this point, the topographic map expanded, encompassing almost the entire mountain and part of the forest near the foot of the mountain, in addition to the gentle slope around Li Mosi.
From this, we can see that he is located on the west side of the mountain, where the slope is much gentler, while the east side is very steep.
Perhaps because Li Mosi hasn't been there yet, these places only have rough topographical maps and no other markings.
But new intelligence emerged from the abandoned fields.
[Large Wild Animal Hoof Prints Discovered (New)!]
[Large Wild Animal Path Discovered (New)!]
[Wild boar route confirmed!]
path?
A question popped into Li Mosi's mind.
The next moment, the map disappeared, and in its place appeared a highlighted road sign in Li Mosi's eyes.
Li Mosi's eyes widened.
He walked to the edge of the gentle slope and looked down the mountain.
A brightly lit road extends to a point not far from the foot of the mountain.
"Master, it's dangerous here, don't get too close."
At some point, the old goblin walked up behind Li Moss and spoke up to warn him.
Li Mosi turned around and saw that a dozen meters away, the old goblin was pulling the saintess, who had a serious expression but whose mouth was gagged.
"Thank you for reminding me."
After a brief thank you, Li Mosi returned to her original spot, picked up her book, closed it, and began to talk about her educational achievements.
"Ziyi can already quickly hit a haystack forty paces away, and his accuracy is quite good. Hunting shouldn't be a problem. I just discovered some fresh wild boar tracks, shall we give it a try?"
In tribes, hunting is never a personal matter.
The old goblin's eyes widened; it was the first time Li Mosi had ever seen him make such a dramatic facial expression.
He subconsciously shifted his gaze, only to find the saintess staring intently at the "Archery Manual" in his hand.
