Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 242: The Fearsome Giant (4k)


Soon, Chen Shouyi saw a large number of shadows emerging from the distance, rushing towards them, the ground rumbling with the sound. Although there were only a few dozen Barbarians, they had the momentum of a thousand-horse army.

Compared to the Barbarians' astonishing speed, the convoy's sixty to seventy yards a minute felt like a snail's pace.

The Shell Lady, hearing the commotion, seemed restless, cautiously poking her head out from her hiding place but quickly retreated in fear. Fortunately, everyone was fully focused, deeply engrossed, and didn't notice her.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a black short spear, as thick as an arm, came whistling in and landed just a few meters away from their truck, embedding deep into the concrete road, buzzing and vibrating fiercely!

Chen Shouyi's heart tightened.

With razor-sharp eyes, he instantly locked onto a tall figure standing in place, just having retracted his arm. Although they were still a kilometer away, this Barbarian had used sheer arm strength to throw a spear weighing several, even more than ten pounds.

This was definitely an expert among the Barbarians!

While Chen Shouyi was still in shock, Ye Zong had already drawn an arrow, pulling back the bowstring. This time, he didn't release it immediately. Tiny electric arcs flickered across his body, his blue hair seemingly electrified, glowing with a faint sheen.

Simultaneously, bright electric arcs began densely coiling around the arrow.

Chen Shouyi sharply sensed a tremendously dangerous aura emanating from Ye Zong, prompting him to subconsciously step back.

As a high school science student who graduated less than a year ago, he immediately grasped the intricacies behind it.

Lorentz force propelling the arrow?

Electromagnetic Cannon Arrow?

Chen Shouyi felt envious.

There's a talent known as someone else's talent.

Compared to his Wind Element ability, which had little room for exploration, this ability had much more potential areas for development.

I really want this kind of high-class ability too.

Ye Zong's eyes narrowed slightly, as he subtly adjusted the aim of the arrowhead.

With a "Boom" sound, the arrow instantly vanished.

Chen Shouyi tried to track the arrow's path, but failed; within a blink, it traveled a kilometer. The next moment, the Barbarian, having resumed their sprint, was blown into two segments, dying in a gruesome state.

"Is this the peak combat power of the Great Xia Country?" Chen Shouyi contemplated inwardly.

"If I were that Barbarian facing this terrifying attack, I'd probably be killed instantly, unable to dodge or escape. Compared to such might, my own strength truly pales in insignificance.

If I had trained for two more years, maybe I could reach that level."

After shooting an arrow, Ye Zong's expression remained indifferent, as he drew another arrow, the arcs lighting up again in an instant.

He fired arrows one after the other, never missing a single shot.

As the Barbarians approached within four or five hundred meters, he ceased using his talent ability, grabbing four arrows at once, wedging them between his fingers, his hand a blur as he shot quickly.

Chen Shouyi noticed that his opponent's archery technique was completely different from his own.

He would shoot an arrow and then draw another from the quiver, whereas Ye Zong picked up four at once, shooting them individually. The former technique allowed easier control for beginners, with relatively higher accuracy, while the latter was more streamlined and harder to master, naturally faster in shooting speed.

Perhaps he should learn this technique, Chen Shouyi thought to himself.

Although his archery had been optimized once, the optimization was clearly based on the original framework, without significant changes in technique.

Before long, other martial artists began attacking as well.

Chen Shouyi couldn't resist shooting a few arrows himself, but unfortunately saw no results.

A distance of three to four hundred meters was too far for him, never practiced, struggling to hit even a stationary target, much less one moving at high speed.

Besides, his eight hundred pound war bow was too light by comparison with only a thrice the speed of sound initial speed, taking roughly half a second to cover three to four hundred meters, enough time for a Barbarian to run dozens of meters.

"Zzzzz!"

The sound of the mounted gun finally began to resonate, soldiers within the convoy climbed onto the roofs, operating the guns to sweep.

The Barbarians fell in droves.

A few seconds later, when the last Barbarian had their head blown off by an arrow from two hundred meters away, the wave of attack finally ended, with only one unlucky soldier suffering a broken leg from a short spear.

"Your bow poundage is too low, step down! Zhang Wenlong, Luo Jingwen, you two come up." Ye Zong said politely to Chen Shouyi.

Chen Shouyi nodded and jumped off the rooftop.

Weakness must be acknowledged, his attack power was indeed too low, his archery was nowhere near competitive compared to these senior martial artists.

Though hard to accept, he had to admit that Sun Mengyuan's mockery during the day wasn't wrong. Those of them from Hedong City were merely supporting the operation for appearances, because even without martial artists from Hedong City, the martial artists from the Capital City could likely handle the task alone.

Chen Shouyi jumped down from the truck head.

"Incredible!" Xiao Changming whispered.

"Yeah, but that's a good thing; at least it makes our job easier." Chen Shouyi nodded, speaking deeply. Having teammates of divine caliber was certainly better than having incompetent ones. Initially, he was somewhat nervous before setting out, but most of his tension had now been alleviated. As long as the Barbarian God doesn't appear, this mission is essentially secure.
