The Witcher: Elemental Lords
#103 - hunt
Regarding archery, Dole had actually read many books and had some insights.
The most important thing in shooting a moving target is calculation: arrow speed, the opponent's moving speed, the influence of obstacles along the way on the moving object, guessing the possible movement patterns, distance, and judging the possible landing position of the object based on the distance when shooting.
This requires a lot of observation and experience. If it's just one person, they might be able to shoot a fixed target relying on stealth abilities, but if it's a large group traveling, the commotion caused can only be used to shoot moving targets.
This tests a person's ability.
Experienced old hunters can hit the target four or five times out of ten based on past experience, while he can only rely on his vast calculation ability to shoot arrows.
Having agreed to this matter, Dole went back to prepare.
He was planning to advance to the extraordinary level in Three Rivers Town before leaving this place. These days, without magic crystals and insufficient materials, he doesn't plan to study any magic patterns. In a few days, he plans to go to the black market. These two days, he will follow everyone to gain some experience.
The next day, early in the morning, a team of thirty people appeared at the entrance of the village. Some people were carrying swords, some were carrying bows and swords on their backs, and their bags were full. Obviously, they were prepared to stay in the mountains for a day or two before returning.
Dole was naturally also in the team. The long bow on his back and the exquisite sword hanging on his waist became the biggest scenery in the team.
This bow was produced by Mondo Blacksmith Shop. Naturally, Dole didn't make it himself. He doesn't have the ability to make spring steel yet. This requires very high skills, and even spring steel may not necessarily be used as a bow arm, there is a lot of attention to it.
This is Uncle Hong's work.
It was a bit cold in the mountains in the early morning, and everyone was wearing a lot of clothes. The less you wear, the stronger you are, for example, Victor, who is wearing an ordinary coat and a light chain mail.
After gathering slightly at the entrance of the village and waiting for everyone to arrive, everyone quickly went up the mountain, very fast.
The mountains behind the town are full of trampled roads, there is nothing at all, if there is, it is just rabbits, mice, snakes, pangolins, ordinary harmless creatures, and they are going to the mountains in the mountains.
The team moved very fast, they were almost running, quickly came to the top of the mountain, and then paused slightly, then crossed the top of the mountain and entered the valley below, here is Dole's unfamiliar area.
The team was still walking, Victor came to him and said, "Where's your dog?"
Dole shrugged, "Sleeping in."
The corners of Victor's mouth twitched, he looked at the front and said, "Our goal is this valley behind the mountain. Generally speaking, there will be wild boars, wild cattle, and wild goats, gray wolves, forest wolves, bears, etc. here. We can hunt some sheep and cattle, and avoid things like tigers and leopards. Although these things are not very threatening, killing too many will destroy the balance of the mountains."
At this time, the sky was already bright, the sun had already come out, and the red light shone on a layer of mist on the mountain, reflecting a little bit of glow, which was very beautiful.
Dole didn't expect Victor to say such a thing, especially the last sentence, which seemed to be full of infinite philosophy. He thought about it, "Okay, I won't shoot arrows casually."
He had read many books and naturally understood why Victor would say such a thing.
The forest is a complete ecological chain, with herbivores, carnivores, and carnivores divided into many levels from low to high. Wolves, tigers, and leopards are the top creatures of predators.
Creatures are divided into gregarious and solitary. Tigers and leopards rarely form groups, while wolf packs are very common. Wolf packs can be killed more, these creatures reproduce extremely quickly, they can't be killed no matter how much you kill, while things like tigers and leopards are very rare. Killing them, the wolves have no enemies and reproduce faster, affecting the ecological balance.
After entering the valley, the team slowly slowed down, with the old hunters leading the way in front, and started the tracking mode.
There is water flowing in the valley, and creatures need water, so naturally there are many traces left. Soon, the old hunters found traces of a group of wild deer.
There are many deer in this group, as many as thirty, and Victor is preparing to hunt about five to take back.
The old hunters set off quickly and entered the mountains next to them.
Dole followed closely behind, watching their actions.
Following the old master is different, he is exhausted and can't find prey, people can find food by looking at it casually, this is the gap.
When Dole saw this, he also observed the details around him. He opened his perception to the maximum, not letting go of any traces. Soon he himself found some small traces.
The team moved forward while observing the surroundings. Soon, someone shot an arrow with a whoosh, and a small rabbit was nailed to the ground. After a while, a lost wild boar was found, and two or three people shot it to death together.
The wild boar's skin is very thick, and it often needs to be killed with one blow, and it is a moving target. If someone is not confident, they need to work together.
Dole followed on the flank, also observing the jungle. He didn't shoot an arrow, watching everyone's harvest, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The team rarely spoke, even Victor only shouted occasionally, quietly, almost without making a sound.
After walking for a while, the old hunter in front quietly stretched out his gesture, which was a sign that he had found the prey. A young man put away his bow and quietly climbed into the tree to look forward.
Before long, he came down and waved his hand.
Dole understood, he meant that the prey was in front.
Victor waved his hand, and everyone began to quietly disperse in all directions, and Dole was no exception.
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!
His speed was faster than others, and he was more cautious than others, and soon he reached the direction of the flank.
In front was a green flat land, the sun shone down from the bushes, and mottled shadows swayed on the ground. Dozens of wild deer were eating grass warily in the mountains while walking towards the mountains.
The animals in the mountains are generally more alert.
Dole found a good location, and after searching for a long time, he found a prey, which was a slightly older deer, whose body was as large as a calf, bearing the responsibility of observation, its ears motionless, observing the surroundings.
This is the responsibility of a sentinel in a group.
At this time, they were almost a hundred meters away from this group of deer.
Dole quickly drew an arrow and aimed quietly. He glanced left and right, other people were closer, and some people had already aimed.
A sound appeared in Dole's ear, which was the sound of shooting arrows. At the same time, Dole also let go.
Fixed target, no wind, ready to hit.
Dole aimed at the deer's eyes, and almost instantly, he shot through the deer's head. With strong penetrating power, the arrow shot out from the back of his head, and he fell to the ground without saying a word, while in other places, there were also respective sounds.
The deer herd suffered this great disaster, and quickly roared and fled into the mountains, extremely fast, faster than forest wolves, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The crowd suddenly slammed, and one of them shouted loudly, "Doctor Lin Rui is amazing, shooting through the head with one arrow, this power, I'm envious."
The speaker was Robert, he also hit one, but only shot the heart, he didn't dare to shoot the eyes from such a distance, the target was too small and there was too much uncertainty.
