Chapter Seventy-Five: Unparalleled Archery Skills
Yue Yunjie was stunned for a long time, until Yue Yu's third red eyebrow eagle bone arrow had already been shot from the bowstring, and he suddenly came back to his senses. He took a deep breath in the first moment, and then exchanged a glance with Yue Yunwen on the other side, who also had an unbelievable expression, and they both saw the deep shock in each other's eyes.
Yue Yu's second arrow, still from 400 meters away, entered through the eye socket of Tieyu. The difference was that this time, since the eagle was spinning at high speed, it didn't pierce the brain but instead exited from the other side of the eye socket.
It made them feel as if they were in a dream.
At an altitude of four hundred meters, even the strongest warriors must use a bow and arrow that is almost unaffected by wind speed, in order to hit their target. But to be as accurate as Yue Yu was, that's unheard of.
It might have been possible to consider it a coincidence the first time, but when it happened in front of them for the second time, it was absolutely impossible to explain as a coincidence.
Yue Yongjie was actually calm and composed, but after being slightly stunned, he immediately came to his senses. He glared at the crowd with anger in his eyes: "What are you all still standing there for? Disperse!"
The surrounding Xuanjia Wu Shi were also experienced, and after waking up, they immediately dispersed to the nearby area, occupying some places with good visibility in the forest. Yue Yun Jie himself also picked up his own Snake Elephant Bow again, standing on the left and right of Yue Yu with Yue Yun Wen.
Yue Yu was completely unaware of this, from the moment he first drew his bowstring, his eyes had been fixed tightly on the sky. The third arrow just now still hit the eye socket of an iron winged eagle, and at this time, Yue Yu's mind was already dizzy.
Calculation of wind speed and convection layer, he had learned when shooting long-range real bullets in his previous life. But at that time, high-energy thermal weapons were used, and in this aspect, it was not necessary to consider too much, just a rough data, can easily hit.
At this moment, the Bi Cui bow in his hand had a power of up to fourteen stones, but in terms of speed and anti-wind force, it was still far inferior to those anti-material sniper rifles.
Especially the first arrow, without any reference object, can only calculate the detailed wind force and detailed data of the convective layer through the two arrows shot by Yue Yongjie brothers before, and also need to calculate the flight trajectory of more than 100 iron feather carvings, the amount of calculation is almost beyond his limit.
The situation with the second and third arrows was slightly better, with a reference from the first arrow, the wind force and convective layer only needed minor corrections. However, he wanted to accurately hit the double eyes of the iron feather carving, and the calculation was still incredibly heavy.
Fortunately, at this moment, the eagle group had reacted and issued a few sharp cries before swarming down to attack. The iron-winged eagles' habit was similar to that of the dark-winged lightning eagles, with a strong desire for revenge. Having lost three companions in succession, the eagle group was thoroughly enraged.
Yue Yu suddenly shook his head, clearing his mind. Then the bowstring in his hand moved again, this time he didn't bother to look for opportunities to shoot at the iron feather eagles' eyes, but instead directly hit their ribs and armpits between their wings. Although there were also iron feathers covering this area, the defensive strength was relatively weak, and with the height of those eagles, they had already dived to 350 meters, enough to pierce through with one arrow.
At this time, he didn't ask for killing, as long as these iron feather carvings lost their flying ability. Once they lost their wings, the combat power of these third-level lower-tier demon birds on the ground was not as good as those second-level upper-tier demon beasts.
And after this arrow was shot, Yue Yu didn't even bother to observe again, and in almost three seconds, he completed the process of taking the arrow, putting it on the bow, drawing the bow, and releasing the string. And as the white arrow slid out with his thumb, another iron feather eagle lost its balance in the flock 300 meters above and fell far away.
However, when the long arrow left the string, Yue Yu, who had a calm face, slightly furrowed his brow and found that he still underestimated this ten-stone bow. Only at the fifth arrow, his middle finger and index finger were already secretly painful. And the thumb of his left hand holding the bow was also scratched by the high-speed friction of the arrow body. This phenomenon had never occurred when he used the black wood bow before.
"Take this next!"
The first to discover Yue Yu's abnormality was still Yue Yongjie, who immediately threw the pliers and gloves in his hand over. After Yue Yu caught them, he smiled slightly and put them on one by one at the fastest speed, then looked up again. In just a few seconds, the iron bird had already dived to less than 220 meters above the ground.
In Yue Yu's eyes, a cold light flashed, and the sixth Red Browed Eagle Bone Arrow was pulled out from the ground. At this time, Yue Yun Jie was staring at Yue Yu again in a daze.
He had never seen such a smooth and effortless shooting skill in his life, as if it were a flowing cloud or running water. Every move of Yue Yu seemed to have been calculated with utmost precision, without any extra or unnecessary movement. From drawing the bow to releasing the arrow, everything was efficient, concise and incredibly fast.
Especially the demeanor of Yue Yu, made him almost involuntarily recall that night at the City Master's Manor. The young man back then had given him a similar feeling. His eyes were sharp, his expression calm, and even when facing dozens of martial artists, he didn't show a hint of fear. It was as if as long as he got serious, no one in this world would be able to stop him again.
At this moment, Yue Yunjie's feeling was also exceptionally complex, as if he had discovered a treasure trove, only to find another room filled with even more precious treasures after moving the empty space on the floor.
He now has a kind of premonition that what he is seeing at this moment is probably not the whole of this young master. And his seventeenth uncle's evaluation of this child is not overestimation, but far underestimation.
It wasn't until the eighth arrow was shot that Yue You finally came back to his senses. He discovered that the iron eagle formation in the air had already dived down to 120 meters, and had just entered the effective shooting range of the twenty Xuanjia riders surrounding them.
However, at this moment, everyone present was a seasoned hunter who could hold their breath. They had only opened their bowstrings and aimed at the space on Yue's head, but still hadn't fired a single arrow. It wasn't until another iron-winged eagle's throat was pierced that the flock descended to 260 steps away, when twenty-three red-browed hawkbone arrows were shot out almost simultaneously. And this first simultaneous shooting reduced the number of iron-winged eagles in the sky by about one-eighth. Immediately after, while the group of demonic birds hadn't yet recovered from this severe blow, a second wave of bow and arrow attacks came from the ground, with even greater results than before - twenty-one iron-winged eagles lost their balance during their dive.
At this time, the iron winged eagle group in the sky also finally realized that for them, this place was a dead end, and they began to accelerate and scatter in all directions.
However, the third wave of volleys from the local militia only sporadically hit eight fleeing iron-winged eagles that were slower to escape, with far less impressive results than before. Nevertheless, Yue Yongjie and others in the forest still looked delighted.
For a thriving colony of eagles, the death of more than sixty male iron-winged eagles is undoubtedly a devastating disaster!
