Chapter 9

At night, by the forest in the lower reaches of the back river, a bonfire was lit.

"Jiang Tu said Zhao Xiaoge Chu, you want to learn archery?" Wu Lao Liu, with a knife at his waist and simple leather armor on his body, sat beside Chu Danqing and asked.

"I have this idea." Chu Danqing said.

"With the little brother's situation, even if you learn it, it will take three to five years." Wu Lao Liu said, untied a leather pouch from his waist: "Why not try this 'floating stone'."

"It's easy to practice, and it's enough for self-defense."

Chu Danqing took the leather pouch and opened it; there were many stones ground into round shapes in the pouch, and in addition, there was a stick with a rope tied to a leather pocket in the middle.

Speaking of "floating stone," Chu Danqing didn't really understand, but changing the meaning to a sling made him suddenly realize.

"Smashing it into a person's head, a broken head and bleeding is not a problem."

"When proficient, smashing it toward a person's eyeballs and nose, the power is even greater."

"I also use it on weekdays." Wu Lao Liu found a lower-level substitute for archery for Chu Danqing, and took it from Chu Danqing's hand to start demonstrating and explaining.

Compared to archery, the floating stone has extremely obvious deficiencies in accuracy, range, lethality, etc.

But from Wu Lao Liu's mouth, he practiced for about eight or nine days and became very proficient.

The upper limit can be seen, and the lower limit is also very clear.

Very suitable for Chu Danqing, who wants to become proficient quickly.

If one wants both powerful power and easy proficiency, how can there be such a good thing.

"How about it? Little brother, use this floating stone?" Wu Lao Liu said and handed the leather pouch to Chu Danqing.

"Use it!" Chu Danqing took it without hesitation: "I am not a person who aims too high."

While speaking, he took the leather pouch, then tied it to his waist, took out the sling, and then groped for some stones on the ground to start practicing.

With Wu Lao Liu's guidance, Chu Danqing went from only knowing how to swing it with brute force at the beginning to gradually mastering some insights.

Until Wu Lao Liu suddenly drew the long knife from his waist and looked at the back river direction with a serious expression.

I don't know when, a huge black shadow floated ashore from the water silently.

Chu Danqing was immersed in practice and didn't notice, but Wu Lao Liu didn't forget what he was here for tonight.

So while he divided his mind to teach Chu Danqing, he was paying attention to the surrounding environment.

"Wah~"

Like a baby's crying sound erupting in the dark night, Chu Danqing took a suitable stone, put it into the leather pocket, and fixed it well.

According to Wu Lao Liu's method, hold the stick, adjust the throwing posture, and use the power of the waist and arms to rotate and swing the stick quickly.

Estimating the timing and range in his heart.

Until the Bai Longyu's offspring entered the range of the floating stone, he threw the stone out directly and smashed it onto the head of the Bai Longyu's offspring on the spot.

The Bai Longyu's offspring felt pain, and its speed suddenly increased.

Chu Danqing wanted to take action during this gap, but unfortunately, because he was not proficient, this second shot missed.

A moving target is not so easy to hit.

At this moment, the Bai Longyu's offspring had already approached.

Wu Lao Liu cut the rope mechanism with his long knife at the first moment, and an iron cage above their heads fell with a boom, covering the two of them inside.

The Bai Longyu's offspring was too fast to brake, and it crashed directly into the iron cage.

The heavy iron cage couldn't help but be pushed back by about thirty centimeters.

Taking advantage of this gap, Chu Danqing also picked up the broadsword placed beside him and slashed toward the nose of the Bai Longyu's offspring without any hesitation.

Wu Lao Liu's speed was faster; the long knife stabbed toward the eyes of the Bai Longyu's offspring.

This Bai Longyu's physique was very huge, at least four meters, and it had thick skin and flesh.

If you don't slash at the vital points, whether it's a long knife or a broadsword, you can only cause skin trauma at most.

As the largest offspring of the Bai Longyu, its reaction speed was far better than the second and third ones killed by Dabao before.

The thick and long neck was very powerful; it directly performed a "golden snake dancing wildly," using its head as a hammer, not only dodging the two people's slashing and stabbing, but even almost lifting the iron cage.

If it weren't for Wu Lao Liu adding weight to the iron cage before, they really wouldn't have escaped this disaster.

Seeing that the smashing was ineffective, the Bai Longyu's offspring retreated slowly, leaving the two people's attack range.

It started to observe around the iron cage, seemingly intending to find a breakthrough.

The cunning of the Bai Longyu had been initially displayed on this largest offspring.

Seeing this, Chu Danqing put down the broadsword, picked up the floating stone, and started to attack, just treating it as practice.

The accuracy and strength still needed to be improved; his behavior also made the Bai Longyu's offspring annoyed, and it bared its teeth and hissed at Chu Danqing.

The cunning after growing up made it restrain its unwise behavior.

After circling twice, just as the Bai Longyu's offspring was about to charge at the iron cage again, a large hand suddenly stretched out from the grass behind it.

It caught its thick neck by surprise; it didn't react at all.

It wanted to turn its head back to counterattack, but before it could see clearly who it was, another hand simultaneously clung to its neck.

Both hands exerted force at the same time, directly causing its neck to be forcibly broken to one hundred and eighty degrees.

The person who took action was Dabao, who was hiding on the side as the main force.

The whole process was very fast.

At the same time, in Chu Danqing's eyes, a treasure chest appeared on the body of this Bai Longyu's offspring.

'Can a treasure chest appear even if I didn't kill it?' Chu Danqing was secretly surprised.

Dabao put down the body, walked over, lifted the iron cage for them, and said: "Dead... dead."

"Dabao, why did you wait for the bad thing's son to circle twice before taking action?" Chu Danqing didn't pick up the treasure chest at the first moment.

"I felt it was easier to kill." Dabao's answer was also very plain; he felt it was better, so he did it.

Chu Danqing could be sure that Dabao definitely had combat-type and intuition-type skills or talents on his body.

The grasp of timing had his own precise judgment.

After asking, the three of them returned to the body of the Bai Longyu's offspring; Chu Danqing contacted the treasure chest calmly and put it into the storage space.

【You have obtained: Treasure Chest (Common Tier)】

"Without these three little evil beasts, the Bai Longyu, this evil beast..." Wu Lao Liu said excitedly.

Chu Danqing noticed Dabao's gaze; just when he was collecting the treasure chest, Dabao's gaze fell into the river.

"What's wrong, Dabao." Chu Danqing asked hurriedly; he knew Dabao's perception was extremely keen.

"The bad thing is here; it seems to be watching us at the bottom of the river." Dabao muttered in a low voice.

In an instant, Chu Danqing couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end.

Before Chu Danqing could speak, a larger black shadow floated up from the bottom of the river.

Under the moonlight, it carried a suffocating oppression and slowly came ashore.

Its body length was at least ten meters, and its weight was probably no less than three tons, about the same as the largest crocodile, the Sarcosuchus, that lived in the early Cretaceous period.
