Chapter 32: You Did Well

As soon as the words fell, Lu Yu "whooshed" as he sprang up from the grass, his left hand holding the bow steadily, his right hand quickly nocking an arrow, and in an instant, he pulled the bowstring to a full moon.

This series of movements, he performed in one go, fluid and natural, as if he had been repeating the practice for countless days and nights in the past.

Before the crowd could even react, they only heard a sharp whistle in the air, and the arrow shot out like lightning!

Eighty meters away, a Wasteland wolf with its back to the crowd was immersed in a delicious meal, completely unaware that danger had descended.

In the blink of an eye, the arrowhead rotated at high speed, piercing in from its lower back, the tip exiting from its soft abdomen, and it drove deep into the grass, firmly pinning the entire wolf to the spot.

A howl of extreme misery startled the remaining Wasteland wolves into raising their heads.

Several of them reacted extremely quickly, becoming alert the moment Lu Yu revealed himself, yet, it was all too late.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Three sounds of breaking wind rang out in succession!

"Puchi!"

Accompanied by the crisp sound, three more Wasteland wolves instantly fell into a pool of blood; at such a distance, even ordinary armor would be as fragile as thin paper, let alone these few Wasteland wolves.

"My god!" Sun Gang was so shocked his eyeballs almost fell out, and he couldn't help but let out a curse.

The others also stood frozen on the spot, completely failing to react to what had happened.

The pack of Wasteland wolves seemed to have been stunned by this sudden attack, and looking at the corpses of their companions, they emitted low "woo-woo" sounds.

Lu Yu was panting heavily at this moment, beads of sweat as large as beans falling like rain, and his left hand holding the bow was trembling uncontrollably, as if this arm no longer belonged to him.

An eighty-catty draw weight bow, firing four times in a row, was indeed too strenuous for him.

But he had no other choice; after all, it was a battle plan he had formulated himself, and he could not afford to drop the ball at a critical juncture.

Of course, this was still far from enough!

Looking at the 40 points of Experience Value he had just gained, Lu Yu shifted his thoughts.

Add points!

8 points of Experience Value were consumed instantly.

In an instant, a warm current surged through his entire body, the previous fatigue immediately lessened by nearly half, his arms gradually regained sensation, and his heartbeat gradually calmed. His Constitution had been further enhanced.

Continue!

Another 16 points of Experience Value disappeared, a more powerful warm current struck, the fatigue almost vanished completely, and not only that, his entire body's muscles became tighter.

At this moment, Lu Yu's Constitution had not only increased, but his strength had also been significantly improved!

Lu Yu had no time to attend to the specific changes to 【Taiji Style】 after two consecutive upgrades, nor did he have time to check the proficiency growth of 【Basic Archery】 after the four-shot burst.

He quickly nocked another arrow, the arrowhead aiming at a Wasteland wolf once again.

That Wasteland wolf seemed to sense a Fatal danger and subconsciously wanted to retreat; that's right, it was afraid.

However, it was all too late; in the blink of an eye, the arrow pierced its skull, and the greater part of the arrow sank deep into it.

"Awoo!" "Awoo!"

The wolf pack finally reacted, their eyes flashing with fierce light, staring fixedly at Lu Yu, this lone human holding a bow and arrow.

"Careful! They are about to charge over!"

Lu Guohao shouted nervously and was the second to stand up.

In an instant, swish, swish, swish, seven or eight burly men emerged from the grass, long spears standing like a forest, flashing with cold light under the illumination of the sun.

The remaining few Wasteland wolves saw this and retreated a step in unison.

If they could speak, they would surely be asking a soul-searching question right now: when exactly did this group of people arrive right under their noses?

However, the nightmare was not yet over.

"Whoosh!"

Almost at the same time the sound of breaking wind rang out, another Wasteland wolf fell into a pool of blood.

The original pack of thirteen wolves now had less than half left; the remaining five Wasteland wolves looked at each other, tucked their tails in mutual understanding, and turned to flee in a panic.

"This..."

The expressions on the faces of the people standing by in battle formation were colorful.

They had thought the wolf pack would charge over regardless of anything, their short spears held tightly in their hands, but in the end, the wolf pack just ran away like that?

"Whew..."

Lu Yu felt a sense of relief, his right arm hanging limply at his side; he had truly reached his limit this time, but even if those few Wasteland wolves had charged, he would not have been afraid.

Counting the two he had just shot and killed, his Experience Value had reached as high as 36 points, which was more than enough to upgrade 【Taiji Style】 one more time, and he would still have plenty of experience left over.

However, although these Wasteland wolves lacked intelligence, they still possessed the instinct to seek advantages and avoid harm.

In short, Lu Yu was very satisfied with the battle results before him.

"Hiss..."

Zhao Shan gasped, turned his head mechanically like a puppet, looked at Lu Yu and said, "Little Yu, is this what you meant by being able to shoot and kill at most four?"

"Although your Uncle Sun doesn't have a high level of education, I can still tell the difference between four and six," Sun Gang said gloomily; he felt he had been nervous for nothing just now, as it hadn't even been their turn to act.

"Little Yu, aren't you too amazing? You shot and killed half of the Wasteland wolves all by yourself. If we had known you had this ability, why did we go through all that trouble to drop the calf and circle back?"

"Yeah, isn't this a bit of an unnecessary move?"

Lu Yu explained with a bitter smile: "It's not entirely unnecessary. If we hadn't done this and really engaged them head-on, I could have shot and killed at most two within a hundred meters, and then we would have had to engage in close-quarters combat, which would have been too risky."

"That's true."

The crowd finally came back to their senses.

"Guohao, it seems your family has a worthy successor!" Zhao Shan looked at Lu Yu's father, his tone carrying a hint of envy.

Lu Guohao did not speak, but his eyes were full of pride; Lu Yu's Archery was superb, he had strategy, and he could remain calm when encountering matters, though he was just slightly lacking in experience.

Given time, perhaps it would be more appropriate for him to take the position of leader of the Hunting Team, and he also noticed that the trust the people in the team had in Lu Yu was constantly climbing.

"Alright, everyone, don't just stand there. We can talk about whatever we have to say when we get back. Hurry up and clean up these wolves, and there's also that calf; I don't know how much meat is left, but we can take it back and boil it to eat."

In this difficult world, having meat to eat is already quite good; who would still care if the meat had been gnawed on by wolves?

The crowd immediately busied themselves, for no one knew if those few wolves that escaped would gather a pack of companions and return to kill; although this possibility was not high, the heavy scent of blood at the scene would likely soon attract other carnivorous Fierce Beasts.

Lu Yu stood where he was, gasping for air in large gulps.

"Little Yu, can you still hold on? How about Dad carries you back in a while?"

Lu Guohao asked with concern.

"..."

Lu Yu was between laughter and tears, "Dad, I'm fine, I'll be okay after resting for a while."

"Mm."

A trace of awkwardness flashed across Lu Guohao's face; he walked two steps toward the crowd, then suddenly stopped, turned around, and said with a smile, "You did well." After saying this, he walked quickly forward.

"Heh."

Lu Yu smiled; being able to receive a personal compliment from his father, who was always inarticulate, was truly rare.

"Right, what exactly has the 【Taiji Style】 improved into now?"

He looked impatiently at the Skill column of his attribute panel.
