Chapter 337 Shooting
"It's been three days..."
Xini scooped up a ladle of ice water and slapped it against her cheek. The biting cold cleared her mind considerably.
Three days have passed since her sister was arrested. During this time, she has managed to scrape together only five or six ice crystals.
That's far from the target of 1000.
During this time, she did consider asking the tribe for help, but after learning about the situation in the forest, she avoided them at all costs.
Even among the Skikate people, there is internal strife.
Large and small tribes fought each other for territory, power, and resources, which resulted in a severe shortage of resources for combat.
Few people would dare to take the risk of something so extremely dangerous, and given that Xini's family had a bad reputation in the tribe, even fewer people were willing to help.
Looking at her unconscious mother on the hospital bed, Xini couldn't help but show a look of despair.
What should I do?
Just as Xini was at a loss, a sudden commotion came from outside.
what happened?
Xini looked outside and saw several heavily wounded tribal warriors.
"We need treatment! We need treatment!"
The man in the lead started shouting as soon as he entered the tribe, attracting everyone's attention.
"Ajit? What happened to you? Are you in danger?"
The injured warriors were all from their tribe, and the people of the tribe knew them, which is why they were surprised.
"Treat them first! Treat them first!"
Seeing the old witch doctor approaching, Ajit didn't know how to explain for a moment, so he could only ask the old witch doctor to help treat his injuries.
Fortunately, his injuries stabilized quickly, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What happened?"
Just then, the others asked about their situation again, and under pressure, Ajit began to slowly recount his story:
"us......."
As Ajit revealed the whole story word by word, everyone finally learned the full picture.
Xini's tribe is a small tribe, and for a small tribe to survive in this land, it naturally has to rely on a large tribe and be protected by them.
This protection was certainly not free. When large tribes needed it, smaller tribes had to send their able-bodied warriors to help them with operations such as fighting.
Xini's tribe's superiors are a large tribe called Ice Axe, and this time they have their sights set on a mine containing ice crystals.
As an important strategic resource, this ice crystal mine naturally made the leader of the Ice Axe tribe extremely envious, so he began to gather his smaller tribes to mine and explore this mine.
However, the result was that they encountered many powerful magical beasts in the cave, suffering heavy casualties.
Of course, the Ice Axe tribe did not suffer many casualties, because although they were the organizers, they did not send many troops. The real casualties were suffered by these small tribes.
Upon hearing this, the people in the tribe all showed indignation, but after the indignation, they felt a deep sense of powerlessness. What was the use of anger? Life still had to go on. If it weren't for the protection of the Ice Axe tribe, they would probably have died on this cruel land long ago.
We have to accept it, even if it's unavoidable.
Unlike the others who were demoralized, Xini, though also somewhat downcast, had a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
Ice crystal ore.
There must be lots of ice crystals there!
Xini seemed to have thought of a way to save her sister, but the next second she was troubled because even the Ice Axe tribe couldn't conquer the mine, so how could a little girl like her do it?
Xini returned home with a long face. Looking at her reflection in the mirror-like water, Xini suddenly had a new idea.
...............
Upon returning to this eerie forest and seeing the snow zombies transformed into human-shaped sculptures, even though it wasn't the first time she had met them, Xini couldn't help but swallow hard in fear.
Fortunately, the blue bat had told her how to get there last time, so she followed the route the blue bat had given her. During this process, she dared not move at all, for fear of disturbing the snow zombies.
The further she went in, the more shocked she became.
"Just how many of these monsters are there?"
Xini stared in terror at the hordes of snow zombies that were appearing.
If she had gone in that day, she definitely wouldn't have come out alive.
Fortunately, as long as you don't touch them or get too close, you won't trigger their attacks.
And so, Xini walked cautiously inside, step by step, when suddenly a sharp arrow shot through the air.
call out! ! !
So fast! !
The Skike people are born with an archery skill; it's ingrained in their bones. Although Sini is still young, she has shown exceptional talent in this area, surpassing even some adults in archery skills.
However, when she saw this arrow, she was still stunned for a moment, because the speed and accuracy of this arrow were beyond her imagination. If she hadn't had experience in this area, she would have been hit by it long ago.
enemy?
Xini didn't think much of it and went back to attack. Although she didn't know exactly where the opponent was, she could roughly pinpoint their location. As soon as the opponent fired again...
Then......
call out! ! !
They've made their move!!!
The familiar whooshing sound came, and facing an arrow that was even faster than before, she had no time to run away and could only try to shift her body to the side.
Phew! ! !
The sharp arrow grazed past, instantly leaving a bloody gash on Xini's face. This startled Xini, because the arrow hadn't actually hit her, but the shockwave alone was enough to graze her skin.
The archery skills of the person opposite me are superior!
Upon realizing this, Xini did not show any panic or hesitation. Instead, she held her breath and, based on the location she had just sensed, drew her bow and shot.
call out! ! ! !
With an equally powerful strike, Xini lived up to her reputation as the strongest archer of her tribe's new generation. Her accuracy and speed were not to be underestimated, and this arrow instantly brought out the enemy who was hiding in the tree and shooting at her.
Because of the distance, Xini couldn't see what he looked like, but after exchanging a glance, neither of them showed any intention of backing down, so they both drew their bows and nocked their arrows.
However, at that moment, that familiar sharp sound rang out again, and Xini's expression froze for a moment:
"Wait, stop shooting! Stop shooting!"
"Why did you start fighting with our ADC as soon as you arrived?"
"And you, this is the king's guest. If you kill him, I can't bear the consequences..."
"The Cloud-Piercing Ghost!"
