Whoosh!
Just as the uncanny creature was about to pass through Niu Dagang, an arrow shot over and pierced straight through its body. At the same time, the arrow became two-dimensional, turning into an image of an arrow.
"Phew, Luo Fan, thanks." Saved, Niu Dagang let out a long sigh of relief, then thanked Luo Fan.
With its ability blocked once again, the uncanny creature floated in the air and fixed its gaze on Luo Fan.
Clearly, its hostility had shifted to Luo Fan.
"What are you looking at?" Under the uncanny creature's stare, Luo Fan showed no sign of backing down and instead snapped at it.
Then he nocked an arrow and drew his bow.
"Wait, Luo Fan, you're just wasting arrows." Seeing what Luo Fan was doing, Zhao Chunfeng tried to stop him.
Indeed, even his gun had been useless, its bullets dodged. Could Luo Fan's arrows do any good?
So what if his aim was accurate? This uncanny creature was practically running a perfect-dodge cheat.
"Zhao, this bow is an Uncanny Artifact. Do you know what its effect is?" With an arrow nocked and his bow drawn, Luo Fan stared at the uncanny creature before him. Meanwhile, the two eyes on the bow slowly locked onto it as well.
"Its effect? It lets you shoot accurately, right?" Zhao Chunfeng answered.
"No. To be more precise, this bow's effect is a one-hundred-percent hit rate," Luo Fan replied.
When Zhao Chunfeng had told him that using any Uncanny Artifact came at a price, Luo Fan had decided to use them as little as possible.
But now that things had come to this, it seemed he could only use this bow.
"A one-hundred-percent hit rate?"
At that, Zhao Chunfeng's eyes widened. "This Uncanny Artifact has a one-hundred-percent hit rate, but this uncanny creature can dodge one hundred percent of attacks. Then, if you shoot it with this bow..."
"I don't know either. It's like the strongest spear against the strongest shield. How will we know unless we try?" Luo Fan replied.
As his words fell, the fingers drawing the bowstring released.
With a twang, the arrow shot straight out, as fast as lightning.
Yet faced with the incoming arrow, the uncanny creature nimbly twisted in midair and dodged it.
It won't work? Watching the arrow miss, Luo Fan and Zhao Chunfeng both sighed inwardly.
Then something unexpected happened. The arrow that had been dodged suddenly made a nimble turn in midair and shot toward the uncanny creature's back.
Almost simultaneously, the uncanny creature sensed the change in air pressure behind it and dodged, evading the arrow again.
But it was not over. Dodged a second time, the arrow turned around again and continued shooting toward the uncanny creature.
What followed was the uncanny creature frantically dodging while the arrow pursued it at speed like a missile locked onto its target.
It chased, it fled-could it escape even with wings?
Seeing this, Luo Fan did not hesitate. He nocked another arrow and drew his bow. Another explosive twang rang out, and the second arrow flew.
One arrow alone had already kept the uncanny creature fleeing without pause. The second left it struggling even harder to cope.
Twang, twang, twang...
Without letting up, Luo Fan kept nocking arrows and drawing his bow, sending sharp arrows flying at the uncanny creature one after another.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten arrows seemed to have left the uncanny creature nowhere to dodge.
Finally, one of the arrows struck it.
But the uncanny creature was not injured. Instead, the arrow passed through its body and was flattened into a two-dimensional image.
The cooldown on its ability had ended.
This won't do. I only have so many arrows.
If I can't kill it in one push, once the arrows are turned two-dimensional one after another, there really will be nothing I can do.
I'm going all in!
Looking at the ten arrows he had left, Luo Fan gritted his teeth. While the uncanny creature's ability was on cooldown again, he shot them one after another.
"Luo Fan, you... sigh..." Watching Luo Fan use the bow over and over, Zhao Chunfeng opened his mouth, but in the end, all he could do was sigh helplessly.
Using Uncanny Artifacts had side effects, yet Luo Fan had recklessly used one dozens of times to deal with this uncanny creature?
But at this life-and-death moment, it could be said that the lives of everyone in the Hope Convoy seemed to rest in Luo Fan's hands, so Zhao Chunfeng could say nothing.
Luo Fan had originally had twenty-six arrows. Apart from the two that had been turned two-dimensional, he had now fired all the rest.
In midair, as though performing Myriad Arrows Return to the Sect, a full twenty-four arrows pursued furiously.
The paper-thin uncanny creature shook in midair as though having an epileptic seizure. With twenty-four arrows locked onto it and pursuing it, the space it had to evade them kept shrinking.
Eight seconds left, seven, six...
Watching the uncanny creature's room to dodge shrink rapidly, Luo Fan silently counted.
When the uncanny creature had used its ability, Luo Fan had already begun silently noting the interval between its activations.
The cooldown was roughly thirty seconds.
As he silently counted, the uncanny creature was now being attacked by several arrows every second. So long as he timed it right, its ability would pose no threat to him.
With a turn of his hand, the Beast-Fang Short Blade appeared in his grip. Then Luo Fan charged forward like a cheetah.
An arrow shot past, and the uncanny creature twisted right to dodge!
Just then, an arrow came from the right, and the uncanny creature dodged back to the left.
Luo Fan concentrated intensely, his eyes fixed on the uncanny creature and the arrows around it. At that very moment, he thrust out the Beast-Fang Short Blade in his hand.
Sap!
Sap was the only skill Luo Fan currently knew, and it activated far faster than his ordinary attacks.
Taking full advantage of the arrows forcing the creature to move, Luo Fan successfully struck its head with the hilt.
So what if it had a one-hundred-percent dodge rate? When its movements were completely restricted and it had lost all room to evade, even a one-hundred-percent dodge rate could not let it dodge.
Every ability had its limits.
Just like his bow-so what if it had a one-hundred-percent hit rate? If the target was fast and agile enough, chasing it for ten thousand years would still be pointless if the arrow could not catch up.
Sure enough, when its ability was active, the uncanny creature's body was like an illusory shadow, able to pass through anything.
But now, while its ability was on cooldown, its body was completely solid. Luo Fan felt his hilt strike something tangible.
Sap successfully activated, and the uncanny creature's body immediately froze.
It was like a momentary lag at a crucial point in a team fight in a competitive video game.
Although it lasted only an instant, that single instant could decide many things.
Thud, thud, thud...
Arrow after arrow rapidly struck the uncanny creature, like swallows returning to their nest.
In the blink of an eye, twenty-four arrows bristled all over its body.
