Chapter 76: Array Symbol Mechanism

  When the silhouette of an eagle could no longer be seen in his field of vision, Yue Yu finally put down the bow in his hand. At this moment, on the ground under his feet, only twelve red-browed eagle bone arrows were left.

  Yue Yu didn't even bother to put it away, he plucked the bowstring of Bi Chao again, carefully listening to the faint sound. Just now, he had shot a total of fourteen arrows, except for the first nine which were accurate and flawless, the last five began to show slight deviations one after another, even his auxiliary intelligent system found it difficult to control and calculate.

  This bow is a good bow, but unfortunately, while shooting out stronger arrows, it also pays a considerable price. Especially when continuous shooting, it's more prone to problems.

  Shaking his head with a wry smile, Yue Yu handed back the Bi Chao Longbow, along with the armguard and finger guard to Yue Yongjie.

  "Uncle, this bowstring seems a bit loose, please help me find someone to make some minor repairs. Also, within half a year, I want to present the head of Jin Xu!"

  Yue Yunjie furrowed his brow and glanced at the emerald-green bow in his hand, then chuckled softly and casually tossed it to Yue Lin beside him. This emerald tide bow was quite powerful, but compared to the astonishing archery skills that Yue Yu had just demonstrated, it was nothing more than a child's toy, really not matching up at all.

  At this moment, he was already listing all the famous bows within the Beima Yuan range in his heart, thinking that even if it cost a fortune to exhaust the family's property, he had to go and find a truly good bow for Yue Yu. As it happens, there is such a bow in their clan. It's just that no one was qualified to use it before.

  At a distance of 1,200 steps, he can accurately shoot an arrow through the pupil. Yue Yunjie thought that if Yue Yu had that twenty-two-stone-force bow in his hand again, I'm afraid any strong person under the Heavenly Realm would not be able to escape being shot and killed by him with one arrow.

  It is also said that in the southern Central Plains, there are already thirty-stone hand crossbows that can be used by Earth Stage warriors. If such a thing falls into Yue Yu's hands and is equipped with several special secret arrows made by Array Masters, who knows what effect it will have?

  Next is to collect the corpses of those iron feather carvings, these giant carvings, although they have a wingspan of over 20 meters when spread out, but their body weight is only more than 800 kilograms. Tie them up and drag them behind the horse, and it's easy to bring back.

  And when all the vultures gathered together, people had a more intuitive impression of Yue Yu's archery skills. Fourteen arrows, none of which missed the vital parts. Although there were no legendary divine arrows that could shoot two birds with one arrow, considering the astonishing distance, it was even more frightening.

  "You finally did something good today!"

  Just as everyone was busy collecting and processing the iron feather carving, Yue Lin took advantage of this gap to walk to Yue Yu's side. "My mother said that you can do whatever you want with Jin Xu's matter. My father will never take it out on you -"

  Yue Yu thought his cousin was talking about the iron-winged eagles he had just shot. But when he heard the last part, he couldn't help but feel a sudden realization. It turned out that this husband and wife, father and son, were not of one mind after all. Yue Lin was actually trying to boost his own morale and confidence.

  But thinking about it, it's no wonder that in this world, there can never be true harmony between wives and concubines or between legitimate and illegitimate children.

  With a faint smile, Yue Yu continued to tie a carved corpse with ropes and bound it behind his horse.

  At this time, Yue Lin's heart was somewhat disheartened. He knew that even if he hadn't said those words, Yue Yu would never have given in to his father. And now, even if his cousin wanted to kill Jin Xu and his son immediately, his father probably wouldn't stop him.

  When he thought of Yue Yu's archery skills just now, Yue Lin's expression was even more complicated. He thought that if nothing unexpected happened, he would probably be bullied by his younger brother for the rest of his life.

  The entire journey back to the city was spent in a long, silent procession. Including Yue Yiwu, everyone was quiet and speechless, occasionally casting intentional or unintentional glances at Yue Yu, who was walking quietly at the rear of the group. Their eyes were filled with deep surprise and hidden fear. They all wondered to themselves: if they were more than 50 meters away from each other, would they be able to escape with their lives under Yue Yu's arrows?

  Yue Rongjie's face, however, was filled with a hint of smile from start to finish. As for the emotions of his younger brother and those under him at this moment, he also knew a little bit about it. But Yue Rongjie didn't mind much, knowing that these people were just temporarily unable to accept it. Moreover, at this moment, the surprise in their hearts was absolutely more than their fear.

  "Feather, do you know Cloud Valley?"

  "Yungu? Uncle, you're referring to Yunmeng City, three thousand two hundred miles south of our city, aren't you?"

  Yue Yu furrowed his brow, recalling the situation about Yunmeng City. If the first great enemy of the Yue family over the past few hundred years was Danyun City, then Yunmeng City could be considered the second greatest enemy of the Yue family castle. In some ways, its obstruction to the clan was even greater than that of the former.

  The Cloud Valley that Yue Yunjie and his brother mentioned is actually the foundation of Yunmeng City. The terrain is very similar to that of the Yue family valley, except that the arable land inside is slightly smaller, with only about 550,000 mu.

  However, the time when Yun Meng City was built is at least a thousand years earlier than Yue Jia City. The development outside the valley far exceeds theirs. In fact, if it weren't for this big city's consumption over the years, its current strength should be several times stronger than theirs.

  And if it's true, as Yue Yunwen said, that they can annex it. Then its significance is by no means just solving the shortage of arable land within the clan. It can even be said that the solid foundation of the Yue family for the next thousand years can be established at once.

  "It's Yunmeng City!"

  Yue Yu and Yue Wu rode side by side, the smile on Yue Wu's face gradually subsiding, turning into a serious expression. At this moment, he had completely shed his airs as the clan leader, treating Yue Yu as an equal with whom he could discuss important matters.

  "Fei'er, you probably don't know that my family has been preparing to annex the surrounding towns' land for nearly three hundred years. It's just that we've always been wary of Yunmeng City taking advantage of the situation, so we haven't really taken action yet. As for my wife's family, this Cloud Valley is indeed a thorn in their side, a constant source of irritation that can't be tolerated!"

  "It's all because of your nephew's recklessness, he has ruined your uncle's big plan!"

  Yue Yu deeply agreed with Yue Yunjie's words, but as for his killing of Hong Zheng and Hong Fei that day, he had never regretted it. Even if given another chance, he would only make the same choice again, it was just that this time, no matter what, he still had to put on a show.

  "Don't listen to your uncle Wen's nonsense! The situation in the south is not as simple as he says!"

  Yue Yonjie slightly shook his head, with a look of helplessness on his face. "Although the Lion Crocodile Beast has gone south and is wandering in the mountains, three months ago, for some reason, a Mechanist came to the southern cities. Although he didn't have enough power to kill the Lion Crocodile Beast, he was able to protect those big cities. The losses of those guys were only some silver money and wealth. We and Dan Yun City want to deal with our opponents in the south, but it's still far from the right time, and we have many concerns between us. And if we want to get everything ready, at least three or four years will be needed——”

  Yue Yonjie's voice suddenly paused, then his eyes filled with an expectant gaze as he turned back. "I wonder if you have the confidence to advance to 4th level Martial Artist within three years?"
