Chapter Seventy-Four: The Divine Arrow Pierces the Clouds!
As an intermediate martial artist in charge of observation around him gave a warning, Yue Yu looked up and saw that in the sky, there were dozens of iron feather eagles, flying towards this side in a herringbone arrangement. Originally, there were many small low-level demon birds in this sky, but at this time, they were all far away.
Yue Yu hurriedly held his breath, and also learned from the others beside him, while comforting the restless dragon scale horse beside him, he found a place to hide in a dense house building. And about two minutes later, the group of iron feather eagles had already flown into the sky above this area, and at the first time, they found those large demon beasts wailing in the clearing. Then the whole group of eagles began to circle around the sky above the woodland. One or two of the eagles came out of the group, tentatively pounced downward, but often swept upwards when they descended to a hundred meters.
Due to the obscuration of the branches and leaves on his head, Yue Yu couldn't see the specific situation in the sky clearly for a while. The total number can only be vaguely distinguished, which should be around one hundred and thirty-five to one hundred and forty, and can only be regarded as a small group of iron feather eagles. I thought to myself, no wonder Yue Yunjie dared to use this mere twenty Xuanjia heavy horses to hunt this group of third-order demon birds.
However, although the eagle group found the bait, it only hovered at a height of 300 meters and never fell. Although they are not the farthest reaches of a human bow and arrow, they are in extremely difficult areas to aim. It seems that in this Dongsheng Continent, although humans have learned to use bows and arrows to drive away birds, these demon birds have gradually adapted to this weapon of humans and found a suitable way to deal with it.
And when the group of iron feather eagles was tested for the fourth time, the whole rose more than 30 meters. At this time, Yue Yunjie and Yue Yunwen next to them were already extremely ugly. Almost all of them drew their bows and arrows in unison, shooting at the last iron feather eagle who had finished its dive and was climbing upwards. Unfortunately, the giant bird was extremely fast, and it was too far away. Although the brothers Yue Yunjie and Yue Yunwen both had amazing archery skills, they still missed the slightest point in the end and passed by the iron feather eagle.
"Damn, when did these animals become so smart?"
When the arrow was sure to miss, Yue Yunwen had already walked out of his previous hiding place, staring at the sky with fierce eyes. "Brother, I think I'd better find another way, or find his lair, or wait until winter—"
Yue Yunjie sighed noncommittally, and also walked out of the dense forest, and the sadness in his eyes was even stronger. "These eagles are all late at night when they arrive home, so how easy is it to find their nests? I had hired dozens of experienced hunters the day before yesterday to scout and monitor them, but the chances of finding them were really slim. I can only do my best to obey the destiny of heaven. As for waiting until winter—"
When he said this, Yue Yunjie smiled helplessly and did not continue. It's just that the embarrassment on his face reveals his true mood.
Yue Yu was also speechless for a while, the vast majority of demon beasts hibernate in winter, and other beasts on the ground will also reduce their activities. In the case of scarce food, the chances of this group of iron feather eagles taking risks are far greater than usual. However, that also means that Yuejiacheng will face extremely huge losses this year. It may not be as exaggerated as the 500,000 mu he said before, but the 300,000 mu harvest is almost certain. And that means that next year's situation in Yuejiacheng will be even more difficult.
"Hmph, if someone hadn't made trouble, my Yuejia City and Danyun City would have joined forces, and I would have already taken down the Cloud Valley in the south at this time!"
Yue Yunwen snorted softly and glanced at Yue Yu coldly. "There are 550,000 acres of fertile land that has been in operation for a hundred years, so why is my Yuejia City worried about this group of iron feather eagles?"
Yue Yu knew that his cousin was just venting his anger on the plane. He didn't bother with it, but just built a tent with his right hand and looked up at the sky. The group of iron feather eagles has not flown away at this moment. Still hovering high in the air, it hissed one after another, as if mocking the clumsiness of the traps set by the humans below.
"Uncle, this group of iron feather eagles must be shot before autumn?"
"It would be best if it could be cleaned up before the fall! This is not only for food reasons, but recently there are old people in the clan who suspect that this group of iron feather eagles may have laid eggs on a large scale. In fact, a month ago, the number of this group of eagles was even better than now, about 200 birds. If the missing part is shot and killed, if it is left in the nest to incubate the eggs, it will be really worrying!"
Yue Yunjie said as he turned his head with a worried face: "Yu'er, since you ask so, is there another way?"
"Brother, aren't you asking in vain, it's just a kid with stinky breasts, what can he do?" Yue Yunwen frowned again, this time it wasn't specifically against Yue Yu, but he really didn't think that a child who had never seen the world and didn't have any hunting experience could help the clan in this regard.
Yue Yu smiled and didn't answer, but took out the Bichao Bow from the bow pouch next to Long Lin's saddle, and inserted half of the matching fifty red-eyed eagle bone arrows into the mud in front of him one by one, and then looked up at the sky again. The group of eagles still hadn't left, and he wasn't in a hurry, just silently calculating the wind speed and the troposphere above in his mind. And the auxiliary intelligence system is also running rapidly, helping him to magnify the graphics in the interface in his brain and provide predictions.
It wasn't until all the preparations were completed that Yue Yu took a light breath, and with a solemn face, he pulled out a red-eyed eagle bone arrow from the quiver behind him again.
-- The limit of his blue tide bow is about 500 meters. And even the iron feather eagle closest to the ground was more than four hundred meters. At this distance, although the fourteen stone arrows shot by the Bichao Bow can still maintain a certain lethality, the threat to the Iron Feather Eagle is really small and small. So this first blow is really crucial.
"Boy! It's a thousand and two hundred steps away from the Iron Feather Eagle here, except for the innate powerhouse, even if it's the Ancient God Shot, you can only sigh! Don't you think that you can really shoot, right?"
Seeing Yue Yu's cautious appearance, Yue Yunwen first smiled mockingly. And before his words fell, Yue Yu had already loosened the bowstring. Yue Yunwen's gaze subconsciously followed the long white arrow that shot into the sky like a meteor. I saw that the red-eyed eagle bone arrow cut through the sky like a white line, and it became a small dot in everyone's field of vision in an instant. And then in the blink of an eye, there was a wail from the group of iron feather eagles. A black eagle suddenly fell upside down to the ground.
It must have been an accident! This kid is lucky.
Yue Yunwen's internal cultivation is the eighth level of a martial artist, and among the people present, only he and Yue Yunjie can barely see the situation in the sky above. This arrow actually entered through the eye socket of the black feather eagle, and then directly penetrated the skull.
Yue Yunwen couldn't believe his eyes now, and just as he was making his own judgment for this obviously strange scene in his heart, Yue Yu was once again extremely fast, drawing a long arrow from the ground, and then bending his bow and shooting it upwards again.
In the sky, when there was another wail, everyone in this woodland was suddenly dumbfounded.
