Whoosh!

The arrow flew out and struck the Timberwolf's right eye with perfect accuracy.

At that moment, Han Xing's Sky Island Territory was less than three meters away from the Timberwolf's island, with a stretch of empty space between them.

The Timberwolf's eye suffered heavy damage without warning. It let out a miserable howl, then abruptly stopped itself, nearly falling from the sky.

In the early stages of the game, Hunters had no useful skills. In battle, they absolutely could not let enemies get close.

Han Xing quickly controlled his Sky Island Territory to retreat, widening the distance between them.

A System Prompt appeared.

Warning: One-Star creatures have an alert range of ten meters. Once you exceed that distance, they will leave combat, and the Sky Island will return to its unexplored state.

The unexplored state was the cloud-wrapped state seen outside. Before entering, any attacks from the outside world could not affect the inside of the Sky Island.

Ten meters? That was enough! Han Xing controlled his territory and quickly retreated.

"Huff..."

He let out a soft breath. An arrow appeared in his hand out of thin air, and Han Xing drew his bow again!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Of the three arrows fired in succession, two struck their target while one missed into the air.

The Timberwolf kept letting out pained howls, but it could only remain trapped within a two-cubic-unit block, unable to advance or retreat.

It was obvious that Han Xing was kiting the Timberwolf.

This was also a common Hunter tactic.

Han Xing continued firing arrows.

Another four arrows flew out. Two hit their target, while two missed.

Han Xing was fairly satisfied with that hit rate.

After all, he was currently nine meters away from the Timberwolf. Maintaining such accuracy while ensuring his safety was already quite good.

After choosing the Hunter class, the system's starting skill, "Basic Archery Mastery," gave him an innate familiarity with the bow and arrow.

Once his level increased and his Agility improved, his hit rate could rise even further.

At this point, the Timberwolf had five arrows embedded in its body. It looked miserable, but it still had not fallen.

The monsters on Sky Islands had extremely strong vitality. With the previous Slime, Han Xing had only been lucky that his third arrow triggered the "Sharp" effect.

However, after Han Xing followed up with two more arrows, the Timberwolf finally whimpered and collapsed.

Successfully killed Timberwolf lv1. Obtained 10 Experience Points.

Seeing the prompt, Han Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

He controlled his Sky Island over to the Timberwolf's corpse.

Disassemble Timberwolf corpse?

"Yes."

Successfully disassembled 'Timberwolf Corpse.' Recovered arrows*7, obtained One-Star Beast Hide*1, obtained wolf meat 37kg, obtained beast bones*102.

The Timberwolf's corpse vanished. A beast hide, a large pile of bright red wolf meat, and a small mountain of white bones were left on the ground.

"So much wolf meat!" Han Xing exclaimed.

Thirty-seven kilograms of wolf meat was enough to feed an adult for many days. If rationed carefully, it could last half a month without any problem!

Killing one Timberwolf had practically solved Han Xing's food crisis outright.

Even if he could not finish it all, he could trade it with other players.

At present, in the entire Channel 107, Han Xing was probably the only one capable of taking on a One-Star beast alone. Food like meat was bound to be a scarce and highly sought-after resource!

After storing all the loot in his backpack, Han Xing fused the two territories with his own.

His Sky Island expanded again, becoming a five-cubic-unit T-shape.

Now, even if he lay down directly, he would not have to worry about falling off.

Just then, someone suddenly sent him a private message through the local Chat Channel.

Sky Phoenix: "Big shot, I saw the arrows you listed on the trading platform. You're a Hunter, right?"

"Yes." Han Xing sent back a reply.

Sky Phoenix: "Big shot, I have something here. I wonder if you'd be interested?"

"Send it over and let me see."

Han Xing disliked beating around the bush, and the other party was equally straightforward, directly sending the item information.

Fine Iron Arrow Blueprint (Green)

Green equipment, and an arrow blueprint at that!

Han Xing's pupils contracted as an intense desire for the blueprint surged through him.

However, he quickly suppressed his excitement and calmly said, "I can take it. What price do you want?"

After hearing that, the person called Sky Phoenix also sighed in relief.

He had seen the information Han Xing posted in the Trading Channel and guessed his class.

Sky Phoenix went straight to the point. "I want water, a large amount of water. No less than two units!"

Hearing his condition, Han Xing's heart moved, but he kept his expression neutral. "Two thousand milliliters of water? Do you know how precious water is right now?"

Sky Phoenix: "I know, but this is a green equipment blueprint! I may not know much about this world yet, but I know that this kind of item will become more valuable later on. By then, even twenty thousand milliliters of water might not be enough to trade for it."

Han Xing sneered. "You said it yourself—it'll be more valuable later. But right now, everyone is most short on survival resources. I don't have water, though I do have some food left. If you really want to sell it, name a price I can accept."

After Han Xing said that, the survivor called Sky Phoenix realized that his asking price was a little outrageous and made some concessions. "Food works too, but no less than ten units."

Han Xing continued to sneer. "Five units at most. Five kilograms of food is enough to keep you going for two or three days."

Sky Phoenix hesitated for a moment before finally gritting his teeth. "Fine, five kilograms it is!"

The two quickly completed the trade.

Five kilograms of food was a lot, but no matter how he calculated it, Han Xing had still made a profit.

Successfully obtained 'Fine Iron Arrow Blueprint.' Learn it?

Han Xing directly selected learn.

The Next Moment, an additional green equipment blueprint appeared in the blueprint tab.

Fine Iron Arrow (Green)

Materials required: Fine Iron*2, Feather*1.

Han Xing pondered for a moment. "Fine Iron can only be obtained from some treasure chests in the early stages of the game. I wonder if there's any in the Trading Channel now."

He entered the Trading Channel and searched for the keyword "Fine Iron," quickly filtering out seven listings.

All of them wanted water and food in exchange. Han Xing opened private chats and bargained with them one by one.

In the end, he exchanged three kilograms of wolf meat and four berries for twelve pieces of Fine Iron.

He had gathered one of the materials needed to make arrows. Now he still needed feathers.

Han Xing asked in the Discussion Group, "Guys, lend me a few feathers. I need to make something."

"Feathers? Xing Ge, I'll give you some!" Cheng Jianyong said in the Discussion Group.

"Trade me."

After the trade was completed, a System Prompt arrived.

Successfully obtained body hair*23 from an unidentified primate.

Han Xing looked at the few black hairs in his palm, and the corner of his mouth could not help twitching twice.

"Cheng Jianyong, are you sick? Who the hell wants your leg hair?"

"Damn! Didn't you ask for hair? You didn't make it clear," Cheng Jianyong said indignantly.

Han Xing tossed the leg hairs away. "I wanted bird feathers, feathers from birds!"

To prevent Cheng Jianyong from misunderstanding again, Han Xing deliberately emphasized the latter sentence.

Seeing their chat, Shen Yun could not help laughing. "Xing Ge, when I was exploring the clouds just now, I found a huge bird's nest. There weren't any creatures inside, but I found a few feathers. They should be just what you need."

"Alright."

After the two completed the trade, Han Xing had nine grayish-white feathers in his backpack.

Bigmouth Bird Feather (Common Material)

The materials were gathered. He opened the blueprint and began crafting.

White light flashed repeatedly.

Successfully crafted Fine Iron Arrow (Green)*6.
