Only 130 Mithril Arrows
"This is!!"
Upon seeing her Mithril Bow, Princess Anna immediately ran to the Great Elder and, with trembling hands, took the longbow from him.
The reason this Mithril Bow wasn't just broken, but more so because of the bloodstains on Mithril Bow.
The crimson blood had already stained the white Mithril Bow red.
This outcome made Princess Anna vaguely understand something, and she trembled all over.
The Patriarch and others also saw what was happening here, and they also saw the red horns.
"Red horns... these are actually the horns of the advanced Red-Horned Beast King! Could it be..." The Patriarch was suddenly shocked, his eyes filled with horror.
"The horns of the Red-Horned Beast King?"
Everyone paused for a moment upon hearing this, then their eyes widened in surprise.
Although this Red-Horned Beast King has only recently advanced, it is still an extremely formidable being.
But now.
The Patriarch actually said that this horn belonged to the Red-Horned Beast King. Doesn't that mean the Red-Horned Beast King, who had just advanced to the next level, was killed?
Moreover, the bloody smell emanating from the horns seemed to confirm this.
This result left everyone both hopeful and incredulous.
Yes, you're right.
The Great Elder spoke, his voice hoarse as he raised the red horn, tears streaming down his face.
"The newly evolved Red-Horned Beast King has been killed; this is its horn."
"It's really true? How is this possible? That's the Red-Horned Beast King!"
"Yes, at that level, who has the ability to kill the Red-Horned Beast King? Could it be some other magical beast?"
"I don't know, but someone capable of killing the Red-Horned Beast King must be an incredibly powerful being."
The tribespeople were buzzing with discussion, all speculating about who had killed the Red-Horned Beast King. But as they were guessing, they suddenly realized that something was amiss.
Because they saw that the Patriarch and others had actually come to Princess Anna's vicinity, their eyes red as they looked at the blood-stained broken bow.
"What's going on?"
The other members of the tribe were puzzled and didn't understand what had happened.
Logically, the Red-Horned Beast King's death should have been a cause for celebration within the tribe, so why did the Patriarch and Carl, among others, look so somber?
Everyone was puzzled, Second Elder was the first to ask, "What's wrong with you all? We've survived a great calamity; shouldn't we be celebrating?"
"Shut up!"
The Great Elder rebuked angrily, then glanced at the Patriarch. After receiving his approval, the Great Elder took a deep breath and continued.
"Everyone, come with me to the Flying Horn Demon Beast Zone. You'll understand everything when we get there!"
"To the Flying Horn Demon Beast Zone?"
Everyone frowned upon hearing this, because it was an extremely dangerous forbidden zone, with a total of 150 Flying Horned Demon Beast.
Even with the Red-Horned Beast King dead, such a large number of horned beasts still made it a forbidden zone that they could not easily enter, so everyone was somewhat worried.
To everyone's surprise, Princess Anna was the first to act, running towards the Flying Horn Demon Beast Zone without hesitation.
Following closely behind were Carl and a group of his tribesmen. Their decisiveness puzzled the remaining tribesmen.
"Hurry up, everyone!"
The Patriarch urged them on, and everyone had no choice but to follow.
Many people, including the Second Elder, were puzzled as to why everyone was so enthusiastic and couldn't understand why.
But no one explained anything to them, because the entire group remained silent as they silently made their way to the Flying Horn Demon Beast Zone.
The Flying Horn Demon Beast Zone is located in a lush and prosperous forest, where massive ancient trees serve as their nests and are a forbidden zone that people dare not approach.
Only.
When the group arrived at the outer perimeter of the Flying Horned Demon Beast, they could smell the stench of blood from afar.
The smell of blood was faint, but this was only in the outer area, which was enough to prove that a battle had taken place in the Flying Horn Demon Beast Zone.
The atmosphere in the group became even heavier, and they quickened their pace. After advancing for a while, they saw the corpse of a Flying Horned Demon Beast.
The corpse lay beneath the ancient tree, its heart pierced by an arrow, a single, fatal blow.
Everyone was stunned at first, then horrified.
"It's Mithril Arrows! What amazing archery skills! One arrow killed the Flying Horned Demon Beast. This beast was on guard duty."
The Second Elder rushed over and carefully examined the body, his expression extremely solemn.
With his years of archery training, he had reached this level.
Some clansmen who were unaware of the situation also quickly examined the corpse of the Flying Horned Demon Beast and then exclaimed in admiration.
"It seems someone has broken in. Such archery skills are unmatched, even by our Sky Clan."
"Yes, although Mithril Arrows are ruined after one use, killing a Flying Horned Demon Beast is definitely a huge profit."
"Even if all of us attacked with Mithril Arrows at the same time, it would be impossible to kill the Flying Horned Demon Beast instantly, but this person did it. He's too strong."
The crowd exclaimed in admiration, expressing their deep respect for the person who had slain the Flying Horned Demon Beast.
But.
The Patriarch, Princess Anna, Carl, and the other clansmen who had borrowed the bow and arrow yesterday froze in place when they saw the corpse of the Flying Horned Demon Beast.
Run!
Princess Anna started running without hesitation, heading towards the center of the Flying Horned Demon Beast area, with the rest of her clansmen following closely behind, even the Patriarch running quickly.
This left the Second Elder and the others completely baffled, and they looked at the Great Elder with puzzled expressions.
"Hurry up and follow me, I'll explain on the way," the Great Elder shouted.
"Good!"
The remaining clansmen also began to run, but as the Great Elder recounted the story, their expressions gradually turned to astonishment, and their eyes widened in surprise.
And the unfamiliar name Rette was deeply imprinted in everyone's mind.
After the group crossed ancient trees and passed through lush jungle to enter the central area, they witnessed a scene they would never forget.
Corpse.
Countless corpses lay scattered in pools of blood, covering the entire central area.
These corpses were all the corpses of Flying Horned Demon Beast, and many of them had a Mithril Arrows stuck in their hearts!
The remaining few corpses had no heart injuries, but there were bloody holes around their eyes, from which bright red blood was oozing.
A rough estimate suggests that there are around 140 corpses, most of which were killed by Mithril Arrows, and the remaining 10 were attacked in the eye area.
Among these corpses was the largest one, a Flying Horned Demon Beast with red and blue stripes all over its body.
It was the king of this place, the Red-Horned Beast King, yet even it fell in a pool of blood!
Its heart was unharmed, yet it lay lifeless on the ground.
Because a Golden Dagger was embedded in the Red-Horned Beast King's pupil, piercing straight into his brain; that Golden Dagger was none other than Princess Anna's dagger.
Everyone was stunned by what they saw, standing frozen in place as if struck by lightning.
In the crowd.
Princess Anna, who was the center of attention, suddenly ran towards the corpse of the Red-Horned Beast King. Looking at the Golden Dagger on the corpse, Princess Anna's eyes began to redden.
With trembling hands, she raised her small hand and pulled the Golden Dagger from the corpse of the Red-Horned Beast King, choking back tears.
"This is my dagger, this is my dagger! How could this happen? How could this happen? Was everything he took yesterday just for today?"
"Golden Dagger, Mithril Bow, 130 Mithril Arrows... Why is this happening? Why is this happening?! Ah!!!"
A mournful cry echoed in all directions as Princess Anna knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.
The remaining people, their eyes also red with tears, watched this scene with grief.
"Find him! Find him now! You must find Rette, alive or dead!!" the Patriarch roared.
"Yes!"
The tribesmen searched quickly, turning the entire central area upside down, but what they finally found was a piece of blood-stained cloth— Rette's belongings.
The scene was completely plunged into grief; everyone's eyes were red and tears were streaming down their faces. The Patriarch spoke with deep sorrow.
"This place is home to 150 Flying Horned Demon Beast, and Rette killed a total of 140 of them, 130 of which were killed by Mithril Arrows."
"The remaining 10 magical beasts, including the Red-Horned Beast King, were killed by Rette with a dagger... He... he..."
The Patriarch choked up, unable to imagine how tragic the final scene must have been. After losing his arrows, Rette faced the terrifying horned beasts and single-handedly killed ten of them – how heroic and tragic that must have been.
He could imagine the heartbreaking scene of Rette being torn apart by the remaining horned beasts after he desperately killed the Red-Horned Beast King, so the Patriarch could no longer utter a word.
The sun rose higher and higher in the sky, bathing all things in its warm sunlight, but the Sky Clan felt no warmth whatsoever, only endless sorrow.
The Patriarch wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and spoke again in a deep voice.
"I hereby declare Rette the 125th Guardian of my race, his deeds recorded in the Sky Book, to be sung by my race for all eternity."
The Naruto World.
In the warm bedroom.
Naruto, lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes and looked at Hinata beside the bed. Seeing her adorable sleeping face as she leaned against the edge of the bed, Naruto couldn't help but smile.
This journey through time brought him more gains than he had ever imagined.
Soul enhancement, Voidwalking, and unparalleled archery skills.
In addition.
The potential he unleashed in his battle against the horned beast with only a dagger in a desperate situation moved even him deeply.
You need to know.
He originally thought he would be lucky to kill a horned demon beast, but he never expected that his frail body would allow him to unleash such terrifying fighting power in the face of death.
This also gave him combat experience he had never had before.
"Yes, I used to crush everyone with sheer power, and I participated in very few battles. This battle feels more like a transformation."
Naruto murmured, a smile playing on his lips, then scooped Hinata up in his arms and, while she was still half asleep, tucked her into his blankets.
Of course, one cannot let one's own wife get cold. Even if it's warm outside, one must keep her in one's own bed.
"Hmm~"
Hinata woke up, blinked her long eyelashes, looked at Naruto opposite her, and, sensing her condition, fainted again.
"Huh? Dizzy again?"
Naruto looked at the unconscious Hinata, held her in his arms, and drifted off to sleep with her in his embrace.
At the entrance of the villa.
The guardian, Saber, dressed in knight's armor, gazed silently at the villa behind him, a hint of doubt in her adorable big eyes.
"He's back, but why has my power increased? Could it be that his soul has been enhanced? Impossible, the soul is a forbidden existence; it can't be enhanced so easily."
The Saber was full of doubts and wanted to go in and ask, but in the end he didn't go in to disturb them. Instead, he continued to faithfully guard the door.
Time passed by little by little, and soon it was the morning of the next day.
Naruto woke up early, but he hesitated about whether to continue with the Wish Task, because there was one Wish Task that he thought was really good.
