Song Qingshan stayed by Qin Fang's side, and he had his own motives and style of doing things. He wasn't the type who was all muscle and no brains. Although he didn't talk much, he saw many things very clearly.

Plus, he wasn't really interested in this hunting trip, so he stayed back to look after things here, while Qin Fang went hunting in the mountains with Sang Duo and Uncle Wen, the three of them together.

Deep in the mountains, the forest was lush.

This area was located in the south where seasons weren't very distinct. At least at this time, while the northern lands were already covered in ice and snow, the mountains here were still relatively warm, with many people wearing only light clothes.

The walking trails in the mountains had been blazed step by step by people. The locals generally used these routes when moving around, and the large ferocious beasts would usually avoid them.

To hunt and catch wild animals, such paths obviously weren't wise choices. Only in the more remote and sparsely populated corners of the forest would the best hunting spots be found.

Qin Fang and the others each carried bows and arrows and had sharp Miao Knives at their waists. This was the standard equipment for mountain people—the bow and arrow for hunting game, and the Miao Knife for self-protection.

Outsiders who came to hunt in the mountains typically brought guns. Although firearms were regulated weapons in Dragon Country, there were always people who could get their hands on them, not to mention those with connections to the military.

However, such mountains were quite backward and the local customs were somewhat fierce and barbaric. Even tourists who loved to travel wouldn't want to come to such a place, let alone those who hunted for entertainment.

The mountain dwellers had no firearms, and many of them didn't even know what a gun was. Only bows and arrows and Miao Knives were their weapons.

Qin Fang and Uncle Wen had no choice but to equip themselves with the same weapons as Sang Duo and enter the mountain...

"Xiao Qin, can you use a bow and arrow? Do you need to practice first?"

The camaraderie among men can sometimes be quite strange. Uncle Wen had been a bit angry with Qin Fang's actions before, but now he was all smiles again. Seeing Qin Fang fiddle with the bow and arrow, he immediately expressed his concern.

"I played with them when I was a kid, but not like these bows and arrows..."

Qin Fang smiled. The bows back then were a form of entertainment with negligible lethality, and even aiming at a target was a big issue, not at all on the same level as the bows in front of him now.

The bowstrings were made from highly flexible cowhide tendons, possessing great elasticity. When released, the power was substantial. The arrow shafts they used even had iron tips, which added a lot to their lethality...

It's no wonder they could kill wild animals, and of course, they could kill people too. At the right distance, the power of these bows and arrows might not be much weaker than bullets.

"Better practice, this bow and arrow thing – if you're not familiar with it, it's easy to run into problems, and not just with hunting... you might even accidentally hurt someone..."

Uncle Wen chuckled. His childhood bows were children's toys, and he had played with them, but compared to what he was holding now, they were completely different things.

The first time he used such a bow to hunt, he faced quite a loss, starting with not being able to pull the bowstring, which was quite embarrassing.

He wasn't worried about Qin Fang's strength; Qin Fang had revealed considerable skill during his fight with Zhuoma, and his power was definitely tremendous.

But using a bow and arrow was not just about having great strength; being strong could at most make the arrows fly farther, but the key was accuracy...

If you aim at the game, and your aim is true, you can kill the prey with one shot, or at the very least injure it so that it can be captured.

But if your aim isn't true, missing the game is one thing; an off-direction shot might accidentally wound a companion... and with Qin Fang's great strength and formidable arrow firepower, hitting someone would be no joking matter.

"Then I'll give it a try..."

Qin Fang clearly understood Uncle Wen meant well and nodded in agreement immediately. He then took down the bow and arrow and started to draw the bow...

His posture wasn't particularly standard, but when he drew the bowstring into a full moon, even Sang Duo, one of the best hunters of the Nayi Tribe, couldn't help but be amazed.

Before entering the mountains, they each had to choose bows and arrows that suited them. Sang Duo naturally chose the bow he was accustomed to, and Uncle Wen, having limited strength, chose a relatively lighter bow. As for Qin Fang, he chose one that they hadn't paid attention to...

But now, looking at it, this was a Chestnut Wood and Ox Horn Bow, considered the best among the mountain bows, and naturally, only the especially strong hunters could handle it.

Most people didn't have the strength to draw the bow, let alone shoot arrows...

Just like when Sang Duo was young, he was also one of the top hunters in the Nayi Tribe, quite impressive with the bow and arrow. However, even he could barely draw a chestnut wood and ox horn bow, and it was still somewhat of a struggle for him to handle it normally... Now that he is older, it's even less feasible.

But unexpectedly, not only could Qin Fang draw such a sturdy chestnut wood and ox horn bow, he even pulled it into a full draw, leaving Sang Duo with his jaw dropped in astonishment, unsure of what kind of exclamation would be appropriate.

Whoosh~~

With the bow fully drawn and an arrow on the string, Qin Fang's eyes flashed with an unusual color, and he slightly adjusted the angle of the bow and arrow. The arrow immediately shot out from his hand with a whoosh.

The arrow was incredibly fast, so fast that the human eye could hardly catch its flight trajectory, such was the power behind the shot that once released, it struck as swiftly as a thunderbolt.

A rabbit?

Of course, while Sang Duo and Uncle Wen couldn't fully track the flight path of the arrow, they had no problem spotting Qin Fang's target. They immediately noticed a slowly moving grey creature in the bushes about thirty meters away, resembling a rabbit.

The fierce wind howled as the long arrow swiftly flew toward its prey. Sensing the incoming threat, the creature instinctively lifted its head, looking towards Qin Fang and the others, and immediately became aware of their presence.

Naturally, Qin Fang and the others could clearly see the prey too—it indeed was a grey rabbit. However...

Thud~~

Before the rabbit could react, the arrow shot by Qin Fang had already pierced through its body, and with the momentum of a thunderous force, it flung the rabbit into the air. After gliding for at least a meter or two, the arrow sank halfway into the trunk of a tree with a thud...

Buzz~~

The rabbit's body was bleeding, yet it was skewered on the arrow, legs off the ground, unable to escape, only able to struggle weakly.

But it seemed like the arrow still had energy to spare, trembling incessantly... emitting a buzzing sound.

This illustrated the immense power behind that one arrow.

Uncle Wen was dumbfounded. He had seen freaks before, but had never seen someone as freakish as Qin Fang, who shot an arrow to such an extent that even professional athletes might not be able to achieve that level.

Sang Duo wasn't much better than Uncle Wen, his mouth wide open in shock, clueless...

In fact, the reason he brought Qin Fang here was mostly to let Qin Fang have some fun and see the world while also showing off his own skills as the once-best hunter of the Nayi Tribe. He didn't actually expect Qin Fang to accomplish anything.

Uncle Wen was his brother-in-law, having hunted with him numerous times, a seasoned hand in his own right. Though not necessarily incredibly helpful, at least he wouldn't cause any trouble.

As for Qin Fang, he was just brought along to watch the excitement...

Of course, if conditions allowed, he wouldn't mind Qin Fang picking up a bow and arrow to shoot around; after all, what the mountain folks weren't short of were bows and arrows, and losing some wasn't a big deal.

But the reality wasn't as he had imagined; before he had a chance to show off, Qin Fang casually stunned him with a single shot.

Gulp~~

Uncle Wen couldn't help but swallow his saliva, then asked somewhat curiously, "Xiao Qin, have you practiced this before?"

Because the way Qin Fang handled the bow, it didn't seem like someone who had never touched a bow and arrow before. It seemed even more powerful than a seasoned hunter.

He had gone hunting with his uncle-in-law, Sang Duo, many times and had never seen Sang Duo reach such a level. Sang Duo had been in close contact with bows and arrows almost every day in the mountains, whereas Qin Fang lived in the big city and hardly ever had the chance to handle a bow and arrow, hence the question...

"Heh, I really haven't practiced... if you don't count playing around with them as a kid!"

Qin Fang chuckled somewhat sheepishly, for this was truly his first time playing with a bow and arrow. The play bows and arrows of his childhood were negligible; he couldn't even find the right direction and never hit any targets, though he did manage to shoot a companion in the butt once or twice...

"Really haven't practiced?"

Uncle Wen obviously didn't believe him, and Sang Duo was also skeptical.

To say that a newcomer could achieve such results on their first try shooting an arrow was beyond belief for them. If shooting an arrow were that simple, wouldn't every mountain dweller become a sharpshooter?

Especially since Sang Duo had been playing with bows and arrows for almost an entire lifetime, starting from the age of five or six, and now after forty or fifty years of practice, his skills should have only deepened. Yet Sang Duo admitted that he definitely couldn't reach such a level...(To be continued.
