510 Comprehension of Archery

The flame splattered after the explosion of the runic arrows. It was not the inferno fire or any other transcendent fire. Even the supplementary sacred flame had no effect.

From this, it could be seen that although the straw man was ruthless and overbearing, it was not a demon or evil spirit, which was why the sacred flame was ineffective.

The water immediately suppressed the fire. Moreover, the straw on the straw man’s body was not simple. Not only were they tough, but they were also fire-resistant.

As buckets of clear water were poured on him, green smoke immediately rose from his body. The fire was immediately suppressed and finally extinguished.

It is not an evil spirit or a demon. It is immune to the sacred flame, and it seems to have intelligence. So it is a unique life form.

Li Xiang’s eyes were shining with joy.

These straw men were different from the foreign races. The foreign races plundered and did horrifying things but claimed to be civilized. On the other hand, these straw men guarded their territory and grew food. They were mighty, and a particular race they could get close to.

“Fire conquers wood, and the straw men are made of wood and straw. Therefore, fire is indeed their weakness. However, the straw and wood on their bodies are fire-resistant and can resist fire erosion to a certain extent.”

“Ordinary flames might not have a good effect on them, but transcendent flames might have a better effect. But that’s not necessarily the case. Instead, these straw men seem to be cultivating their bodies, so they can be tempered to the point where they can resist fire.”

Li Xiang looked at the inferno that had been doused in flames. The straw man’s body was completely charred, and many parts had turned to ashes. There was a big hole in its chest, and even the wooden skeleton inside was exposed. It was almost unrecognizable.

If no straw men poured water on it in time, it would have been burned to ashes.

Even so, the burned straw man still exuded an aura of life and was not dead.

This life force was too tenacious.

“Without a heart to shout, I won’t die even if I’m burning like this. So what’s their weakness?”

Li Xiang’s arrow had hit its heart, but it could still not kill the straw man. So this was not a fatal point.

However, his arrow caused significant damage to the straw man. It had already fallen to the ground, unable to fight anymore.

“I have to get the spiritual rice in this valley. As long as the straw men can’t fly, I can slowly kill them one by one!”

As he thought of this, he drew God’s Annihilating Bow again and shot rune arrows.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The battle arrows pierced through the air and shot towards the other straw men.

The art of archery had a massive advantage for those with a solid physical body. With Li Xiang’s strength, even if he drew the bow continuously, he would not feel any fatigue. His blood could naturally replenish the body’s consumption.

Each arrow was fast, accurate, and ruthless.

“The grain thief is here again. Kill it!”

“Kill the grain thief!”

One by one, the straw men roared in anger. Then, finally, some took out their bows and arrows and shot them into the sky.

With their strength, the arrows they shot out were not slow. Still, the power of the battle bows in their hands and the materials of the arrows were limited. With the arrows aimed at a mythical beast like the Phoenix Qing Ying, it was easy to imagine how ineffective they were.

Qing Ying only needed to flap her wings slightly to deflect all the arrows or destroy them. They were not a threat to her at all.

On the other hand, Li Xiang’s arrows could accurately hit each straw man and their vital points one after another.

Some pierced through their chests, others through their throats, and even their heads. Under the effects of the explosion and the splatter halo, the power of these halos was highly remarkable, causing many deaths and injuries to the straw men.

The straw men were not live targets. Every one of them moved very quickly. Some straw men even moved strangely, as if they had magical powers. Their steps seemed to be swaying from side to side without any pattern, but they could avoid the arrows by millimetres.

This kind of archery deflection technique made Li Xiang feel a trace of enlightenment.

He had learned the top rank of the Firmament Arrow and had the Firmament Arrow skill.

This was a whole set of archery skills, including many archery sub-skills.

In the past, he had relied on the system’s assistance to use these skills, but now, as he shot out arrow after arrow, he seemed to have an excellent understanding of each archery skill. It was as if he was born with archery skills, and the power of the arrows shot out was also more powerful.

After witnessing the straw men dodging his arrow, it was as if something had stimulated his mind. All the information related to archery that existed in his mind exploded in an instant. Inspiration collided and boiled continuously, turning into rays of spiritual light that condensed into waves of comprehension that surged into his heart.

“Archery is about killing in one shot. If the arrow couldn’t even hit the enemy, then it couldn’t be said to have defeated the enemy. So no matter how fast or powerful the arrow is, it’s all meaningless.”

“If someone has a flying knife in his hand and hasn’t made a move for hundreds of years, it can also make the enemy fear and not dare to act rashly. This was a powerful deterrent. A flying knife that had not been used was the most terrifying to the enemy. At the same time, an arrow that has not been shot is the most threatening.”

“However, the premise is that whether it is a flying knife or an arrow, they must have the ability to hit the target in one shot to intimidate the enemy.”

“To unleash the art of archery to the extreme and reach perfection, the most important thing is to make the enemy fail to dodge or avoid. Locking on to their Qi dynamics is the most inferior method. The strong have supreme treasures, but it’s impossible to lock on the Qi dynamics, and they can even mislead and set up traps. Therefore, the most brilliant skill should be the ability to make predictions. To predict the opponent’s reaction and the enemy’s move is the only way to be successful in every endeavour and never miss a shot!”

Predicting the enemy’s moves and making a judgment required good eyesight and talent.

It was like a game of chess, where every step required the player to look ten steps ahead. Without such robust calculation and deduction abilities, it was impossible to achieve dazzling achievements in archery.

“To predict the enemy’s movements, one must also have keen observation, judgment, and reaction. After considering many influencing factors, one must instantly deduce the next possible direction of the enemy. After the calculation is obtained, one must deliver a fatal blow. ”

To do this, one must have sufficient mental power and a strong will. These were the foundations of everything.

Otherwise, the so-called prediction would be a random thought without any basis and a chance of luck. Therefore, it would not be very sensible.
