Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 90 - 14 An Amazing Arrow

The crossbow bolt shot out, carrying Yue Jinghua's arm strength, whistling through the air as it flew. But just as it had traveled a few feet, it collided with the Dark Power Protective Shield above the sailboat. The faintly red Protective Shield trembled slightly like a candle in the breeze, without even forming a dent, and the crossbow bolt fell, landing precisely at Yue Jinghua's feet.

The flock of Crow Pheasants flew joyfully in the sky, and on the sailboat, Lihua Xue laughed so hard her body shook, "You can't even penetrate the Protective Shield of the Fire Dragon Sail, yet you entertain the fanciful notion of hitting the Dark Bird. Stop humiliating yourself and get lost," she said.

"It's only the first round, just a warm-up," Yue Jinghua coughed a few times casually and stood aside as if nothing had happened.

"Earlier, I said I would allow Alchemist Yue three moves. Now that we're comparing crossbow shots, granting three moves is impossible. Instead, I, Feng Buhui, will lend Alchemist Yue a helping hand, counting it as the three moves," said Feng Buhui as he loaded his crossbow, strung the bowstring tight, and loaded five Crossbow Arrows simultaneously. Channeling Dark Power, he pulled the crossbowman's trigger, "Shhh shhh shhh shhh shhh," five Sky-breaking Arrows flew out in perfectly straight lines with mere hair's breadth differences.

"The Hand Crossbow, Feng Buhui has learned to use the Hand Crossbow," Old Teluo applauded and laughed heartily, and the mercenaries beside him cheered in agreement.

When the five arrows were launched, there was only one point of impact. The first arrow hit the ship's Protective Shield, causing it to vibrate slightly. Then came the second, third, and fourth arrows. By the time the fifth arrow arrived, the Protective Shield flamed open the size of a coin.

"Thank you for acknowledging that, so I will not stand on ceremony," amidst the hubbub from the mercenaries and the disdain from Lihua Xue and her cohort, Yue Jinghua didn't dawdle and stepped forward, raising the Handy Crossbow and aiming at the crack in the Protective Shield, and fired another arrow.

Although the hole was small, Yue Jinghua's aim was still decent. Unfortunately, the Crow Pheasants were small, and Yue Jinghua's shot, once again off target, went right through a gap in the center of the flock, hitting nothing. However, it did startle the flock in formation, scattering the Pheasants in all directions.

After her second miss, she sighed, "What a pity, if only the birds were a bit larger. Feng Buhui, how about we change the target to shoot at?"

"I've seen people with thick skin, but I've never seen such shamelessness. If you can't win, you should admit defeat sooner," Lihua Xue sneered.

Old Teluo's smile faded, and Ni Qianjun started to say something but then stopped himself.

Feng Buhui stepped forward, loaded the crossbow again, and frowned as he looked at the Crow Pheasants in the sky. Yue Jinghua's last arrow had shot towards the center of the flock, causing the scattered Pheasants to fly chaotically, and even if he wanted to shoot, he could only hope to hit a few.

After weighing his options, Feng Buhui raised his crossbow and fired five arrows in rapid succession with still an impressive hit rate. Unfortunately, due to the Crow Pheasants' erratic flight, he could only bring down five birds with one arrow each.

But even just five birds were already far better than Yue Jinghua's none.

"No wonder I felt something was off. The reason I can't hit the Dark Birds is because of the crossbow. Feng Buhui, you're cheating; the crossbow made from Iron Tree Core in your hand is obviously much better than my light crossbow with poor accuracy. I also want to use your crossbow to shoot," Yue Jinghua watched in astonishment and insisted on Old Teluo that she must be allowed to use Feng Buhui's heavy crossbow.

Feng Buhui's expression was quite a spectacle, "Alchemist Yue, you won't be able to handle this crossbow," he said. With that, he flexed his unusually strong arm.

Those skilled in shooting, especially heavy bowmen and Crossbow Archers, have exceptionally developed arm muscles. Feng Buhui's arm was as thick as Yue Jinghua's waist, and he only needed to use his thumb and index finger to operate a crossbow weighing over a hundred jins. This was something not many in the Rebellion Mercenary Group could do.

The old mercenaries, including the barbarians, all tried to persuade Yue Jinghua. However, she was unyielding and fixated on using Feng Buhui's crossbow.

It was Ni Qianjun, the Deputy Leader of the Mercenary Group who normally cared the most about Yue Jinghua, who stood to the side, utterly calm and silent, leaving everyone to wonder what he was up to, "Since Alchemist Yue insists on trying, then let her," Old Teluo said helplessly while trying to smooth things over, and then glanced at Ni Qianjun again.

Reluctantly, Feng Buhui unstrapped the crossbow and handed it to Yue Jinghua, "If Alchemist Yue can draw this bow, then my previously shot birds will be considered even. But if you cannot even pull the string, I, Feng Buhui, advise you not to bother with this third round," The thought of his beloved crossbow falling into the hands of someone like Yue Jinghua caused Feng Buhui great distress.
