Whoosh——
A sharp sound of breaking through the air resounded in the forest, and then an arrow was seen, quickly passing through the gap between the grass and trees, and sinking into the neck of a rabbit in the bush.
The rabbit struggled twice and then became silent.
Lu Yuan pushed aside the weeds in front of him, raised his hand to pick up the rabbit, deftly pulled out the arrow, put it back into the pot, and then threw the prey into the basket on his back.
After doing all this, he glanced at [Simple Archery (Xiao Cheng)] in his mind and couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
"In the past month, I have shot thousands of arrows and killed hundreds of rabbits and pheasants. My archery skills have finally improved."
Lu Yuan felt the feeling when he shot the arrow just now.
Although Xiaocheng's archery skills have not improved much compared to the beginner's archery skills.
But at the moment when he shot the arrow, he still felt that his grasp of the power of the bow and arrow in his hand, as well as his eyes catching the prey, were obviously much better than the previous times.
If we have to use an accurate valuation to describe it, probably out of ten, the precise value of entry-level archery is about one, while the precise value of Xiaocheng is three.
In other words, he has improved from one out of ten arrows in the past to three out of ten arrows now. This is already a very remarkable improvement.
"And not only the accuracy, but my vision and the strength of my arms seem to have improved."
Lu Yuan pulled the bowstring in his hand and felt extremely relaxed.
But you must know that before his skills improve, he needs to use a lot of strength to pull the bow string.
But now, it seems that only eight points of force are needed to draw the bow string that could only be drawn with all one's strength in the past.
"Because my skills have improved, has my physical fitness also improved?" Lu Yuan thought in his mind and couldn't help but look forward to it.
This is just Xiao Cheng's archery skills. After improving, the strength of his hands has changed like this.
However, in the game he planned to play before traveling through time, the basic skills had four levels: Beginner, Minor, Great, and Perfect.
If my archery skills were improved to great success or even perfection, how powerful would it be to the growth of my body?
"I'm afraid that when my archery skills are perfected, my strength will be doubled, right? And this is just a rudimentary archery skill. If I can get martial arts secrets, or even magical powers, how big will the improvement be?"
Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel excited just thinking about that scene.
He originally thought that traveling through time was a bad thing.
But now with the effectiveness of his golden finger, Lu Yuan felt that things were not that bad after all.
It sucks to be a miserable hunter.
But it would be wonderful to be an immortal who goes to heaven and earth, travels across mountains and seas, and lives a long and happy life.
"So I will continue to shoot arrows in the days to come."
Lu Yuan put away his bow and arrow, glanced at the quiet woods around him, and frowned: "But I have almost finished shooting all the rabbits on the west side of the mountain. If I want to practice archery next, I have to go to the east side of the mountain."
…
Seven days later, Lu Yuan had to put down his bow and arrows and temporarily ended his rabbit shooting routine, letting the rabbits on the east side of Shandong breathe a sigh of relief.
Then he took only a short knife and a large backpack and left the mountains where he had lived for more than a month.
This time, Lu Yuan planned to visit Dayu County at the foot of the mountain.
After traveling through time for so long, some of the rice I had stored up was completely eaten yesterday.
As for the salt, most of it was spent on making bacon earlier. Now even if we are frugal, we ran out of it half a month ago.
If it weren't for the salt content in the wild yellow dog meat he smoked, which was enough to replenish the body's consumption, the date of leaving the mountain would have been even earlier.
After all, it’s okay for people not to eat rice. Eating some wild vegetables and wild beast meat is enough to supplement their consumption.
But if you don’t eat salt, no matter how strong your physique is, you will lose your strength and become a soft-footed shrimp.
This was quite fatal to Lu Yuan, who lived in the deep mountains and old forests and was always surrounded by wild animals.
He can be hungry, but not without energy, because that will lead to death.
Dayu County is at the foot of Lantau Island. The county seat is located beside a large river, only about ten miles away from the mountain.
However, the place where Lu Yuan lived was a bit remote. If he wanted to go to the county seat, he had to go through a mountain road for more than ten miles, which was more than thirty miles away.
Therefore, he set out at dawn, and when he arrived at the county seat, it was already two hours later, almost ten o'clock in the morning.
Lu Yuan carried a backpack on his back, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and lined up to the city gate.
The two gatekeepers looked at his clothes, opened the backpack and checked it. After seeing the furs inside, they said in disgust: "The city tax is one hundred pence."
After Lu Yuan heard this, he immediately took out a bunch of money from his arms and handed it over.
In fact, the normal city entry tax, no matter how much it is, cannot reach one hundred pence.
After all, he is just a person, not one of those caravans doing business. He has to rely on trucks to pull goods into the city, so it is common sense to charge more money in that way.
When ordinary hawkers enter the city, they usually charge a few pennies to more than ten pennies, which is a lot of money.
But who made Lu Yuan's current identity a mountain hunter?
The Orions of the mountain people were not registered as households and were not listed in the government's official books. They had no identity and were classified as black households.
With such an identity, even if he is killed, the government will not take any notice.
Of course, under normal circumstances, no one would go looking for mountain hunters to kill for fun. After all, those perverted murderous lunatics are still a minority among the general population.
But no one is coming to kill you, so you have to be strong.
Just before your eyes, these two petty officials have figured out your identity as a gangster and want ten times the city entry tax for ordinary people. Are you going to pay it or not?
If you give it, you will lose money and eliminate disaster.
If you don't give it, they will take it from you on the spot. You can go to jail for a crime with no identity.
If you dare to resist, you will be punished with swords and axes.
No matter how powerful an Orion is, can he still fight against the government?
There were bloody examples in the past, and Lu Yuan didn't want to risk his own life to prove it again.
After he paid the money honestly, the two tax collectors did not embarrass him any more and let him into the city happily.
The market in the city is on the east side, where a large number of traders and shops gather together.
If Lu Yuan wants to sell his fur, he needs to go there.
I remember the road to the market. I was already familiar with it. After walking around the city for a few steps, I arrived at the market.
When he was about to go to the fur collection shop in the city, several figures saw him and came over.
"Master Biao."
Seeing the big man in the lead, Lu Yuan put a smile on his face and took the initiative to say hello.
The "Master Biao" across the street and the people under him are all members of the Black Wolf Gang in Dayu County.
This gang controls the mountain goods trade in the county. Anyone who wants to do business in the city must pay protection fees to them.
Right now, these people are paid to do this.
