Chapter 35 Multiple Shooting (please follow up)
"Stepina, this is not an ordinary crossbow, right?" Richard asked in surprise.
"Yes, this special crossbow is called the Crushing Shell Crossbow. It is half larger than an ordinary military crossbow. If the crossbow arrows installed use special mithril arrows, they will be very lethal to monsters. , I asked the master crossbowsmith from the trading area of the school to help me modify it!" Stepina introduced proudly.
Perhaps because the preparations were well done, after half a day's trek, the group of five people arrived near the Spider Trail smoothly.
When Richard came to the Spider Trail again, he felt that the spider webs here were denser, and the number of large white cocoons that could be seen everywhere seemed to be more than before.
Regarding this point, Richard suddenly felt very strange. Logically speaking, the school has issued multiple [Cleaning Crystal Web Spiders] tasks, so the number of spiders here should be significantly reduced.
But it seems that even under such high-intensity strangulation, the number of spiders here has not been significantly reduced.
And, from the looks of it, there seems to be a growing trend! How strange!
Richard, who was suspicious, immediately raised his vigilance to the highest level, and the five of them began to slowly go deeper into the spider path.
Suddenly, a "rustling" sound came from the right side of the team, and Javier immediately whispered "right side!" Sure enough, a group of washbasin-sized black widow spiders appeared menacingly on the right side.
According to the predetermined tactics, Richard was responsible for these black widow spiders, while the others were responsible for the crystal web spiders.
After activating the secret skill [Short Bow Rapid Fire], the gray wood short bow in Richard's hand was plucked like a harp. He could only hear the beating sound of "swish, swish, swish" notes, and the mithril arrows seemed to be inexhaustible. The silver flowing water pinned the dozen black widow spiders that had just rushed over to the spot one by one.
The originally menacing spider group suddenly began to commotion. The crystal web spider the size of a millstone at the rear finally calmed down the spider group, but it seemed to feel that the enemy in front of it was not easy to mess with, and it had a faint intention of retreating.
But how could Stephana and others allow the Crystal Web Spider to retreat safely? The three of them had long held huge shell-shattering crossbows and aimed at the Crystal Web Spider at the rear of the spider group. They saw three rays of silver light shooting at the Crystal Web Spider rapidly. !
The moment it hit, the mithril arrow pierced the chitinous shell of the crystal web spider, causing a huge wound. Large streams of light green spider body fluids emerged from the broken shell.
In an instant, the Crystal Web Spider was severely injured, and at the same time, it was completely unable to escape due to Javier's entanglement! At this point, Stephana and the others became more energetic, and immediately began to reinstall the crossbows and continue to attack.
Richard killed the remaining black widow spiders one by one step by step. After a while, a text suddenly appeared in front of Richard's eyes. It seemed that the crystal web spider was dead!
[Energy found to be absorbed, yes/no? 】
"yes!"
[Gain 359 points of energy. 】
Not bad, the first energy gain! Richard nodded secretly.
Inadvertently, Richard, who was picking up the mithril arrows, suddenly noticed that Stephana walked towards the body of the crystal web spider in a hurry, and then carefully took out a fist-sized white jade egg from her package, and said: Some unknown spell.
I saw a huge crystal web spider being pulled out from the spider's broken body. It seemed that everyone could still hear the crystal web spider's struggling and fearful screams, but it was sucked in instantly. into the mysterious white egg.
Suddenly, the mysterious white egg emitted a sparkling white light, as if it had burped.
Richard and the other three people couldn't help being surprised. Javier was the first to ask: "Stephana, is this one?"
Stephana no longer concealed anything at this time, touched the white egg and said: "This is my contracted monster. It needs the monster's soul to grow quickly!"
Immediately, several people were quite excited to ask Stepina about the ins and outs of this egg.
Looking at Stephana talking freely, Richard knew that she must be hiding something, because if he only needed the soul of the monster, wouldn't it be easier to kill the solitary monsters in the mud swamp? Why would he hunt down the crystals that live in groups? Web spider.
But this is not important. After all, Richard has also gained a lot of energy points. Before his interests are harmed, Richard will not jump out to expose Stephana!
So, a group of five people advanced steadily according to this rhythm, and successfully killed two groups of crystal web spiders in a long time. Every time after killing the crystal web spider, Stephana will perform that ritual.
I don't know if it was Richard's illusion, but he felt that Stephana's mysterious white egg was getting more and more shiny, as if something was about to break out of the shell!
On the other side, although Richard gained a lot of energy points, he was also very tired, because every time he had to use his secret skill of short bow rapid fire to quickly eliminate a large number of black widow spiders, which consumed a lot of his physical strength. !
So while resting at night, after some thought, Richard decided to trigger his inspiration and practice crossbow training to see if there was any way to reduce his physical exertion.
[It was discovered that the host was using a crossbow. Did/does it consume energy and gain inspiration for using the crossbow? 】
This time, looking at the numbers 1 and 1089 at both ends of the slide bar, Richard thought for a moment and decided to try it with 500 energy points first to see if he could reduce the physical consumption of rapid shooting with a short bow.
Suddenly, Richard's soul was quickly pulled into the dream space as before. Richard was possessed by a blurry figure, and in front of him were dozens of black spider shadows. Immediately, Richard held a gray hand in his left hand. Using a wooden short bow, he pulled out mithril arrows in his right hand and started shooting quickly.
As before, every arrow shot brought Richard a lot of insights about how to control the gray wood short bow.
But the difference this time is that he has already preset in his mind that each arrow must reduce physical consumption as much as possible and at the same time be able to hit the target.
Under the guidance of this concept, Richard drew the arrow, drew the bow, aimed, and shot a series of actions in one go, getting faster and faster! Suddenly, with a flash of inspiration, Richard actually pulled out two mithril arrows at the same time and put them on the bowstring at the same time. In an instant, two silver lightning bolts came out of the sea like dragons, instantly defeating two phantom spiders!
Huh! Richard seemed to understand the use of inspiration.
With all his heart and soul, Richard became more and more familiar with the situation of shooting two arrows at once. Gradually, he began to pull out three arrows and shoot. From three arrows, he failed to hit, to two, he could hit. In the end, all three can hit!
In this way, with repeated practice, time in the dream almost flies by!
When Richard came to his senses again, a line of text prompts came into view.
【Ding! The host is inspired and realizes the secret skill: multi-shooting]
[Multiple Shot: Shoot up to three arrows at a time, attacking three different targets respectively. Continuous use of this secret skill will consume a lot of stamina. 】
Richard brought up the panel and took a look, and sure enough, underneath the secret skill short bow rapid fire, there was an additional secret skill multi-shot.
Richard, who had acquired a new secret skill [Multiple Shooting], showed it off a little when he encountered a wave of crystal web spiders early the next morning, which shocked everyone else beyond measure!
Kelvin's eyes almost bulged when he looked at the black widow corpses lying on the ground, "Richard, do you really have no elf blood? Your archery skills are simply terrifying!"
Kelvin stuttered and didn't know what word to use to describe the archery skill that Richard had just performed. In the end, he couldn't think of any word, so he used the word "terrible".
"Richard, your archery skills are beyond what humans can shoot! I think your ancestors must have elven blood!" Old student Javier also said with confidence this time.
If he talked about Richard's archery skills before, he felt that someone could still shoot them, but this time, he felt that a pure-blood human would definitely not be able to shoot such skills!
"Although I have never seen an elf shoot an arrow, my feeling is that even an elf would probably not be able to shoot Richard!" The freckled girl Lena also said in a very positive tone.
