Just as the villagers were looking at each other in bewilderment, wondering if there was something wrong with their ears, Xia Yufei arrived at the village entrance.
"My lord, you're here!"
Seeing Xia Yufei's arrival, the refugees finally found their backbone and said anxiously,""Gu Beilu said that he wants to go up the mountain to hunt lions. My lord, quickly go and persuade him!”
"I know."
"He said he had a way to deal with the lion pride, so I agreed to let him go."”
"What?"
All the refugees were dumbfounded!
"My lord, how can the northern foothills deal with a pride of lions? Or was he alone? Captain Xing was a general and had led a hunting team, but he was seriously injured by the lions!”
The villagers from the same village as Gu Beilu could not help but say anxiously.
Although he was not very familiar with Gu Beilu, they used to be from the same village, after all, and there was a sense of camaraderie between them.
Therefore, even if questioning his lord might make him unhappy, he still said what was on his mind!
Hearing this, Xia Yufei's heart couldn't help but waver.
However, when she thought of Gu Beilu's promise to her before he left, Xia Yufei's pretty face suddenly flashed with a trace of determination.
"I believe him!"
"I will wait here for him to return!”
Hearing this, the villagers fell silent.
Since their lord Xia Yufei had said so, they knew that it was useless to say anything.
The atmosphere fell into a strange silence.
After a while.
Suddenly, a villager patted his forehead as if he had remembered something. He said to Xia Yufei,""My lord, but, but Gu Beilu didn't even bring a bow and arrow!”
"Bow and arrow?"
Xia Yufei could not help but look at the villager in confusion.
"That's right!"
The villager nodded and said,"My lord, my name is Cheng Cang. I used to be a member of our village's hunting team." Hunting teams would usually carry bows and arrows, especially when dealing with ferocious beasts like tigers and lions. Bows and arrows were a hundred times better than knives and spears!”
"Since he didn't bring it, perhaps he doesn't need it?" Xia Yufei asked.”
"Even if there's no need, it's better than nothing. Arrows can injure enemies from a hundred meters away. This is something that even knives, spears, swords, and sticks can't do!”
Cheng Cang shook his head and explained to Xia Yufei,""If you carry a bow and arrow, you can maintain a relatively safe distance from the wild beasts. However, if you use weapons like knives and spears, you can only fight in close combat and are more likely to be injured.”
Xia Yufei thought for a moment and felt that Cheng Cang's words were reasonable.
Even if Gu Beilu really did not need a bow and arrow, it was better to bring it than not.
What if it really came in handy?
Thus, Xia Yufei nodded and said,""Then I'll have to trouble you to get a bow. Before Gu Beilu goes up the mountain, quickly send it to him and see if he can use it.”
"Alright."
Cheng Cang nodded and ran toward the village.
.........
"Beilu! Wait for me!"
Just as Gu Beilu was about to go up the mountain with his gun, Cheng Cang finally caught up to Gu Beilu and shouted, panting.
Hearing someone calling him, Gu Beilu turned his head and looked behind him. He saw Cheng Cang, who was sweating profusely, and could not help but feel a little puzzled."What's wrong?"
"My lord, my lord asked me to bring this bow and arrow to you.”
Cheng Cang took down the bow and arrow from his back and handed it to Gu Beilu. He replied breathlessly.
"Bow and arrow?"
Looking at the wooden bow and arrows in Cheng Cang's hands, Gu Beilu was somewhat stunned.
However, after thinking about it, Gu Beilu did not refuse. He reached out and took the wooden bow and quiver from Cheng Cang.
Wooden Longbow
[Rarity: White]
[Attack: 8]
[Description: A simple wooden bow made of sandalwood and cow tendons. The bow is three feet and three inches long, and the chord length is two feet and five inches. When matched with arrows, it has considerable lethality. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to hit the enemy.]
Although they were both white weapons, the wooden bow provided 3 points of attack power compared to the spear.
After all, a bow required a certain amount of skill and accuracy.
Although the wooden bow was very long, it was very light and easy to carry. Even if it was not used in the end, it would not affect him if he carried it on his back.
There were twenty to thirty arrows in the quiver. The arrows were also made of wood, but the tips of the arrows were made of sharp steel, shining with a cold light.
Gu Beilu suddenly thought of the Xiongnu archer general who had tricked him many times in his dreams.
If not for that Xiongnu archer, the dream realm would have been much easier.
"Maybe it's not a bad idea to try archery.”
Thus, Gu Beilu thought for a while, then raised his head and thanked Cheng Cang,""Thank you. I will use this bow and arrow first. I will return it to you when I go back. You should go back quickly.”
"Alright."
Cheng Cang nodded and prepared to leave.
After all, night was about to fall, and the wilderness at night was especially dangerous. He also wanted to return to the village as soon as possible.
However, Cheng Cang thought for a while and did not move. He looked at Gu Beilu and looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Gu Beilu looked at Cheng Cang strangely and asked,""What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
"I'm fine."
Cheng Cang shook his head and looked at Gu Beilu. He took a deep breath and said earnestly,""Take care!"
After saying that, Cheng Cang looked at Gu Beilu with a gaze that seemed to say goodbye forever. Then, he finally turned around and ran away.
Looking at Cheng Cang's back, Gu Beilu suddenly burst into laughter.
Gu Beilu did not need to think to know that Cheng Cang probably felt that he could never go back.
Gu Beilu shook his head, turned around, and continued walking up the mountain!
He was not going to die!
He had come to the back of the mountain to fight monsters and level up!
The back mountain was very large. Gu Beilu usually hunted in the west while Xing Daorong led the hunting team to hunt in the southeast. Therefore, Gu Beilu had never been to this road before.
It was already close to evening, and the sky was dark.
The lush forest behind the mountain was very quiet. Gu Beilu could even clearly hear his own footsteps on the branches and leaves.
The entire back mountain was at the intersection of night and day. It was half bright and half dark, so it looked even more sinister and terrifying!
If a child were to be in this situation, they would definitely be scared to the point of crying. Even an adult would be terrified!
However, Gu Beilu did not feel anything. His expression was calm as he walked deeper into the back of the mountain.
Because there were traces left behind by the hunting squad, Gu Beilu was not worried that he would go the wrong way.
Not long after following the hunting team's tracks, Gu Beilu suddenly stopped!
