Killed with One Arrow (3)
If Li Yue had known that the Fox Tribe youth before her was Ye Lang, she might have drawn Ye Lang sword and cleaved him in two!
On this point, Cold-Blooded Fifth, Athena, and others, including Ye Lang himself, were all certain that if Li Yue discovered this, they would definitely not have a good ending.
Therefore, we absolutely cannot let this slip; at most, we can make her hate Ford Focus...
How she'll find Ford then? That's none of her business!
"I'm a little hungry, I'd like to eat something..."
After walking for half a day, there were no more people around Ye Lang. Before, there were a few people passing by, but now there was almost no one to be seen.
Now everyone is scattered in different places, unlike before when so many people gathered together. The real hunt has begun.
"Don't eat this, it will break the rules!" Li Yue said immediately when she saw Ye Lang take out the ready-made food from his ring.
"What??" Ye Lang was a little confused as to why the rules would be broken.
"This time, we'll have to rely on ourselves for everything – food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. If you want to eat, you'll have to find it yourself, or bring your own rations!" Li Yue said.
This hunt, in addition to hunting wild animals, will also test everyone's survival skills in the wild. They will have to find their own food in the wild, including wild fruits and vegetables, and of course, wild animals!
Don't forget, this is a hunting trip. After the game is scored, you can do whatever you want with it – burn it or roast it, it's all up to you!
"Is that so?" Ye Lang asked curiously. He hadn't noticed this problem before. Actually, it wasn't his fault, because Ye Lanyu and the Seventh Princess had taken care of everything, and he didn't need to do anything.
"Yes, there is! You're hungry now, so eat this first!" Li Yue took a bag off her horse, which contained some dry rations.
"Thank you!" Ye Lang accepted it without hesitation; he was genuinely a bit hungry.
"Strange, why haven't we seen any prey along the way?" Li Yue said with some confusion at this moment, which made Ye Lang realize the problem.
They didn't see a single prey along the way, whereas Ye Lang had encountered countless prey in the past.
"Maybe we haven't encountered anything big yet." Ye Lang's confusion was only temporary, and he quickly came up with an explanation.
"Perhaps. Perhaps we entered the territory of a powerful Devil Beast, which is why all the other animals disappeared. Otherwise, we're just unlucky," Li Yue said.
The word "bad luck" seems unlikely to apply to Ye Lang, but it cannot be ruled out that special circumstances might arise when Li Yue and Ye Lang are together.
"It might just be temporary. Maybe one will appear... Look, look, it's here!" Ye Lang said, pointing in a direction.
"..." Li Yue and Cold-Blooded Fifth remained silent.
"What are you so excited about? That's the Dire Wolf!!" Li Yue's words and Cold-Blooded Fifth's message came at the same time.
"I know, Dire Wolf!" Ye Lang replied. It's just a Dire Wolf, what's there for you two to be so nervous about?
"That's Devil Beast!"
"Know!"
"High-class!"
"I know that too!"
"It won't be easy for the two of us to deal with it. We need to be careful!"
"I know that too!"
"..."
Having come this far, what else could Li Yue say? She could only begin preparing for battle. She hadn't expected her first prey to be Devil Beast; she didn't know if it was good luck or bad luck.
The Dire Wolf is not the same as the common Dire Wolf on Earth. Here, the Dire Wolf is a Devil Beast. It is called the Dire Wolf because it is very large and gray.
The most distinctive feature of the Dire Wolf is its size. Most wolves are about the size of dogs, and even the giant wolves in the Devil Beast universe are at most a little bigger, twice the size at most. But this Dire Wolf is bigger than a cow, which is what makes it unique and recognizable at a glance.
"Ford Fox, I'll distract it in a bit. If you have the chance, shoot it! Remember, its weak points are its eyes and its belly..." Li Yue took out her bow and arrow and approached the Dire Wolf, waiting to be within range before delivering the most fatal blow.
Of course, this is just an ideal scenario. If that doesn't work, as she just said, we should first attract its attention and then let Ye Lang launch a sneak attack.
"Understood!" Ye Lang also drew his bow and stared intently at the Dire Wolf. He seemed to be on high alert, but in private, he was discussing a small matter with Cold-Blooded Fifth.
"Little Five, do you think I should put Li Yue in danger and then play the hero to save her? That way she'll definitely fall in love with me."
"...If you do that, she will definitely find out. You're not hiding in the shadows right now," Cold-Blooded Fifth replied irritably, the problem being essentially negligible.
If Ye Lang weren't with Li Yue at this moment, he could naturally hide to the side and appear as a dashing hero to save Li Yue when she's in danger, but that's clearly impossible now.
Ye Lang and Li Yue are together. If Ye Lang deliberately puts Li Yue in danger now, how could Li Yue not notice? It will only make things worse.
Therefore, this matter was rejected by Cold-Blooded Fifth!
"Forget it then, let's kill that Dire Wolf, I'm so hungry!" Seeing that this method wouldn't work, Ye Lang just wanted to end the hunt as soon as possible and shoot the Dire Wolf dead with an arrow.
Take a deep breath...
Drawing the bow...
Ye Lang became very calm at this moment, and everything around him also became calm. If Li Yue turned around at this moment, she would find that Ye Lang seemed to have blended into the surrounding environment.
The feeling was hard to describe. Even though Ye Lang was standing there, it gave people the feeling that he didn't exist, or rather, that he was omnipresent and completely integrated with this world.
The Unity of Heaven and Man —yes, that's the state of being!
After that, Ye Lang's arrow gathered a power, an indescribable power that seemed like magic, Battle Qi, or neither.
Then, Ye Lang gently released his grip, and the arrow shot through the air...
At this moment, Li Yue was still covering for Ye Lang. She wanted to attract the Dire Wolf's attention so that Ye Lang would have a chance to shoot Dire Wolf. Knowing Ye Lang 'Ye Lang archery skills, she knew he could definitely do it.
Although this Dire Wolf is Devil Beast and a relatively high-level one, she doesn't take it seriously given her strength. There may be difficulties, but they won't cause any trouble.
The reason she sent Ye Lang was actually to use the simplest method. As a soldier, she knew how to utilize everything.
