Whoosh!

The arrow shot out, accurately hitting the forest wolf's right eye.

At this moment, Han Xing's Sky Island was less than three meters away from the Sky Island where the forest wolf was, with a stretch of empty space in between.

The forest wolf was suddenly hit hard in the eye, letting out a miserable howl, and then slammed on the brakes, almost falling from the high altitude.

In the early stages of the game, hunters have no skills, so you must not let the enemy get close during combat.

Han Xing quickly controlled the Sky Island territory to retreat backward, creating distance.

A system notification appeared.

"Warning: The alert range of a one-star creature is ten meters. Beyond this distance, it will disengage from combat, and the Sky Island will revert to an unexplored state."

The unexplored state is like the outside world, shrouded in clouds. Before entering, no external attacks can affect the inside of the Sky Island.

"Ten meters? That's enough!" Han Xing controlled the territory, quickly retreating.

"Whew..."

Exhaling lightly, an arrow appeared out of thin air in his hand, and Han Xing once again nocked and shot!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three arrows in a row, two hitting the target and one missing into the air.

The forest wolf continued to howl in pain, but it was trapped in a cube of only 2 cubic meters, in a dilemma.

In this situation, it was clear that the forest wolf was being kited by Han Xing.

This is also a common tactic for hunters.

Han Xing continued to shoot arrows.

Four more arrows went out, two hitting the target, and two missing.

Han Xing was satisfied with this hit rate.

You have to know, he was now a full 9 meters away from the forest wolf, and while ensuring safety, he could maintain such a high degree of accuracy, which was already good.

After choosing the hunter profession, the system's initial skill, 'Novice Archery Mastery', gave him an innate familiarity with bows and arrows.

As he leveled up in the future, with the increase in agility, he could continue to increase his hit rate.

At this time, the forest wolf had a full 5 arrows stuck in its body, looking miserable, but it still didn't fall.

The monsters on the Sky Islands have very strong vitality. Han Xing was lucky with the previous slime, as the third arrow triggered the 'Sharp' effect.

However, as Han Xing added two more arrows, the forest wolf finally whimpered and fell down.

[Successfully killed Forest Wolf lv1, gained 10 experience points.]

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

He controlled the Sky Island, coming to the side of the forest wolf's corpse.

[Decompose the forest wolf corpse?]

"Yes."

[Successfully decomposed 'forest wolf corpse', recovered arrows*7, obtained one-star beast hide*1, obtained wolf meat 37kg, obtained beast bones 102.]

The forest wolf's corpse disappeared, and on the ground lay a beast hide, a pile of bright red wolf meat, and a small mountain of bones.

"So much wolf meat!" Han Xing exclaimed.

37 kilograms of wolf meat is enough for an adult to eat for many days. If you save a little, it's not a problem to last for half a month!

Killing a forest wolf can be said to have directly solved Han Xing's food crisis.

Even if he can't finish it, he can trade it with other players.

Currently, in the entire 107 channel, Han Xing should be the only one with the strength to single-handedly challenge one-star beasts. Meat, as a food, must be a scarce resource and extremely sought-after!

After collecting all these spoils into his backpack, Han Xing merged these two territories with his own.

His Sky Island area expanded again, becoming a convex character of 5 cubes in size.

Now, even if he lies down directly, he doesn't have to worry about falling down.

Just then, someone in the local chat channel suddenly sent him a private message.

Sky Phoenix: "Great God, I saw the arrows you consigned on the trading platform. Are you a hunter class?"

"Yes." Han Xing sent a message back.

Sky Phoenix: "Great God, I have something here, I don't know if you are interested?"

"Send it over and let me see."

Han Xing didn't like to beat around the bush, and the other party directly threw out the item information.

[Fine Iron Arrow Blueprint (Green)]

Green equipment, or an arrow blueprint!

Han Xing's pupils shrank, and a desire for this blueprint instantly surged in his heart.

But he quickly suppressed his excitement, calmed down, and said, "I'll take it. What's your price?"

The other party, the one called Sky Phoenix, also breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

He had seen Han Xing's consignment information on the trading channel and deduced his profession.

Sky Phoenix went straight to the point: "I want water, a lot of water, no less than 2 units!"

Hearing his condition, Han Xing was inwardly moved, but he still said calmly, "2000 milliliters of water, do you know how precious water resources are right now?"

Sky Phoenix: "I know, but this is a green equipment blueprint! Although I don't know much about this world yet, I know that this kind of item becomes more precious later on, and even 20,000 milliliters of water won't be able to exchange for it then."

Han Xing sneered, "You said it yourself, it'll only be more expensive later, but right now everyone's most in need of survival resources. I don't have water, but I do have some food. If you really want to sell it, just name a price I can accept."

After Han Xing finished speaking, the survivor called 'Sky Phoenix' also realized that his asking price was a bit outrageous, so he made some concessions and said, "Food is fine too, but no less than 10 units."

Han Xing continued to sneer, "5 units at most. 5 kilograms of food is enough for you to last two or three days, no problem."

Sky Phoenix hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, 5 kilograms it is!"

The two sides quickly completed the transaction.

Although 5 kilograms of food was a lot, no matter how you looked at it, Han Xing still made a profit.

[Successfully obtained 'Fine Iron Arrow Blueprint', learn?]

Han Xing directly clicked 'Learn'.

The next moment, a green equipment blueprint appeared in the blueprint column.

[Fine Iron Arrow (Green)] [Materials required for crafting: Fine Iron*2, Feather*1.]

Han Xing pondered for a moment, "Fine Iron, this kind of material, in the early stages of the game, can only be obtained from some treasure chests. I wonder if there is any on the trading channel right now."

He entered the trading channel and entered the keyword 'Fine Iron', quickly filtering out 7 consignment information.

The transaction requirements of these people were all water and food. Han Xing clicked on private chat and haggled one by one.

In the end, he exchanged 3 kilograms of wolf meat and 4 berries for 12 pieces of Fine Iron.

The material for making arrows was gathered, and feathers were still needed.

Han Xing asked in the discussion group, "Guys, lend me some feathers, I'm making something."

"Feathers? Xing-ge, I'll give you some!" Cheng Jianyong said in the discussion group.

"Trade."

After the transaction was completed, a system notification came.

[Successfully obtained primate body hair*23.]

Han Xing's mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times as he looked at the few strands of black hair in his hand.

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

"Damn! Didn't you want feathers? You didn't say it clearly." Cheng Jianyong said angrily.

Han Xing threw the few leg hairs away, "I wanted bird feathers, feathers from poultry!"

To prevent Cheng Jianyong from continuing to misunderstand, Han Xing specifically emphasized the latter sentence.

Seeing their chat, Shen Yun couldn't help but laugh, "Xing-ge, when I was exploring the clouds just now, I found a huge bird's nest, but there were no creatures inside. I found a few feathers, just right for you."

"Okay."

After the two completed the transaction, 9 gray-white feathers appeared in Han Xing's backpack.

[Bigmouth Bird's Feather (Common Material)]

With the materials gathered, he clicked on the blueprint and started crafting.

White light flashed one after another.

[Successfully crafted Fine Iron Arrow (Green)*6.]
