Chapter 967: Chapter 939:
In the jungle, there is actually another world. It feels like a living alternate world where various races coexist. Ye Chen curiously asked, “Brother, let ask you a question, where do the elves live?”
“Elves? Do I not look like an elf to you?” The native snorted coldly.
“Nope!” Ye Chen hurriedly shook his head, saying, “Look at yourself, all green, even your hair is green. It looks like your wife puts a green hat on you every day, making you so angry that you turn green!”
“Your wife is the one putting the green hat on you! Be honest and follow to face our elder’s judgnt, or I’ll stab you to death!” The native shoved Ye Chen forward. Suddenly, a man dressed in clothes appeared in the forest, attracting the attention of its residents. Elves with red skin, green skin, and grass-yellow skin erged to watch this outsider with great interest.
“Wow, this person is so ugly!”
“Isn’t it? Look, he’s even wrapped in a piece of cloth, how ridiculous!”
“Look at his skin, it’s such a disgusting yellow, and his hair is black, actually black. Oh my God, I’m going to die!”
Facing the elves’ comnts, only then did Ye Chen realize that to them, he was just an alien. He thought his handso looks would attract a group of beautiful elf won, but unexpectedly, he appeared so ugly in their eyes. Ye Chen’s face fell. It seems people live in this world for others to see. Too ugly you get cursed; attractive people are liked. That’s why you constantly change yourself to beco prettier.
Yet, the native with green skin and green hair was praised by the watching elf won.
“Look at Chelsea, so handso. I like that he’s pure-bred elf.”
“Co on, don’t dream. Chelsea is a pure-bred elf; he’ll never like a mongrel like you!”
“You’re the mongrel!”
Seeing so many elf won attracted to him, the ‘native’ felt proud, puffing his chest and waving his long spear against Ye Chen’s back, like a hero returning triumphant. Seeing the surrounding elves throwing flirtatious glances at him, he grew even more excited, pushing Ye Chen forcefully, saying, “Hurry up, you alien!”
“Hey, brother. A gentleman uses words, not hands!” Ye Chen quickly said.
“Hmph, fists are the only true proof of strength!” The native glared at Ye Chen, saying, “If you beat , I’ll spare you and take you to et the Elf Queen!”
“Really?” Ye Chen hurriedly asked.
“Absolutely!” The native nodded seriously, feeling secretly pleased. Demonstrating his extraordinary strength in front of so many people, wouldn’t the girls beco even more enamored? Thinking this, Chelsea decided to take on Ye Chen. But was Ye Chen really that easy to deal with? Ye Chen quickly nodded, saying, “Okay, no problem. You decide how you want to compete!”
“Let’s keep it civilized!” Chelsea grinned, “The Elf Clan is renowned for archery, and I see you also carry a bow and arrow, so an archery contest is one part, followed by close combat!”
“Get to the point!” Ye Chen waved his hand.
“An archery contest and a close-combat fight. Win either one, and you’ll be victorious!” Chelsea cast Ye Chen a contemptuous glance, saying, “But, can you really do it?”
“Bring it on!” Ye Chen was pushed to a corner. Looks like there’s no choice but to fight.
“Ho ho ho…”
The Elf Clan people cheered. Elves were always competitive, but Ye Chen, encountering the Elf Clan for the first ti, showed no surprise or amazent. It was as if he was already familiar with them and had been dealing with them for so ti, feeling neither astonishnt nor shock.
“Chelsea, kill him, beat him to death!”
Everyone cheered, waving their arms and laughing. In the eyes of these elf clan mbers, they all thought Chelsea could definitely defeat the guy. With the Elf Clan’s combat skills, they could certainly beat Ye Chen, leaving him toothless.
“Kid, tell , which one do you want to start with?” Chelsea coldly stared at Ye Chen.
“Whatever, choose whichever you like!” Ye Chen calmly smiled, then took off the curved bow he carried. Seeing Ye Chen taking off his bow, Chelsea said, “Since you took the bow off, let’s start with archery, shall we?”
“Whatever!” Ye Chen nodded.
“Follow !” Chelsea, the native, proudly led Ye Chen and everyone forward. A group of people arrived at a practice field, where the Elf Clan trained. Opposite them was a row of targets. On the opposite side of the practice field was a row of targets, numbering twenty or thirty, enough to accommodate many people for training. Though the Elf Clan cherished peace, they also had warriors and wars.
Where there are species, there is competition, and where there is competition, there is conflict. Even on this seemingly peaceful mainland, there is continuous competition and battle. Chelsea braggartly stood at the shooting point, grinning, “Watch out, here’s the starting point; the target is a hundred ters away, kid, can you see clearly?”
“Oh, I assure you I’m not nearsighted!” Ye Chen muttered.
“Hmph, stubborn!” Chelsea glared at Ye Chen, those lizard-like eyes roaming a circle. Ye Chen, a bit annoyed, nodded, saying, “Alright, keep going!”
“Each person gets ten arrows; whoever gets higher rings wins. How about that?” Chelsea sneered.
“No problem!” Ye Chen took off the bow and arrow from his shoulder, then received the bow and arrow handed by Chelsea, shooting it off with a whoosh. The arrow hit the target, but unfortunately, it wasn’t directly in the bullseye; it landed in the Five Rings zone. Chelsea laughed heartily on the side, saying, “Haha, kid, you’re too weak. I advise you to roll back ho and stop disturbing us!”
“Your turn!” Ye Chen gave a sly look.
“Hmph, kid, I see you’re stubborn till death, stubborn till the end!” Chelsea laughed heartily, then imdiately grabbed an arrow, placed it on the curved bow, and shot it out with a whoosh. But Ye Chen also moved at that mont, swiftly grabbing an arrow and shooting it out, the arrow chasing Chelsea’s arrow.
Thud…
The two arrows collided; Chelsea’s arrow was knocked to the ground, losing aim completely according to the rules. This attempt had no score. Chelsea’s eyes showed a glint of murderous intent, gritting his teeth at Ye Chen, saying, “Damn you, how dare you knock my arrow down?!”
“The rules don’t say you can’t knock it down!” Ye Chen casually smiled, “I got Five Rings, you got Zero Rings. I win this round!”
“There’s still nine more chances!” Chelsea gritted his teeth, looking at Ye Chen, saying, “Your turn!”
“Alright!” Ye Chen nodded. Archery was part of the army; especially for a Special Forces mber, mastering archery was essential. For Ye Chen, this was nothing. For Xu Haifeng, hitting the target from a hundred steps was simple, and it was not hard for Ye Chen either.
Ye Chen deftly grabbed three arrows, then tightened his fingers, pulling the string to full tension!
Whoosh…
Three arrows instantly shot out like three bolts of lightning, very fast. Chelsea had initially thought of giving Ye Chen a taste of his own dicine, but seeing Ye Chen shoot three arrows at once, he was montarily at a loss. Watching those three arrows shooting out, Chelsea’s eyes didn’t blink once. The Elf Clan had people with the skill to shoot multiple arrows, and he could do it too, but shooting three arrows accurately into a single target was difficult.
Bang bang bang…
Three dull thuds; all three arrows hit the target squarely. Chelsea stared at Ye Chen in disbelief, saying, “Oh, my God, how did you do that?”
“Do you concede? If you concede, I’ll tell you!” Ye Chen grinned.
Modern archery and ancient archery share similar qualities, and modern bows and arrows are clearly superior to ancient ones. The experience is accumulated over generations. Archery in the army brings together the shooting experience of ancient Chinese dynasties, which these techniques cannot compare.
Ye Chen’s shooting skill is a fusion of the shooting experience of countless elite shooters from ancient China, achieving his success today. Though the Elf Clan excels in shooting, their mindset is inherently conservative. Their techniques are never shared externally and are guarded like treasures, unlike the outside world where such experiences are exchanged freely and never kept secret like those of the Elf Clan.
