"I really am a first-timer..."

Qin Fang's face showed helplessness, but he still repeated it very seriously.

He truly was using such a powerful bow that could kill, for the first time. He had never played with it before, not even touched it.

However, to achieve such a hit with an arrow, it wasn't completely by fluke...

Besides, Sang Duo was an old hunter for many years; whether this arrow was skillfully shot or was a blind cat stumbling upon a dead Mouse, how could he not tell?

That angle and control of strength were absolutely what only a first-class archer could muster; a novice, no matter how talented, couldn't do it, not even a genius.

"It might be because I've had practice with guns..."

Knowing his own excuse was too feeble, Qin Fang found a relatively more reliable reason, "When I was in the Ninghai Military District, they really hoped I would become a sniper..."

It wasn't Qin boasting; it was entirely the truth. Qin was the strongest sniper—his state and touch were never issues, always performing very stably, the kind that would absolutely not fail.

"So it's like that, no wonder..."

And really, Qin Fang's reason was somewhat credible. Upon hearing it, Uncle Wen found it quite believable. The reason why snipers are formidable is precisely due to their precision shooting... simply shooting wherever you aim is but the most basic requirement.

If Qin's gunmanship could reach a sniper's level, then it isn't strange at all for his shot to be so accurate—even though Uncle Wen also understood that bows and sniper rifles are two completely different weapons and not really comparable.

If someone with precise gunmanship could achieve the same precision with archery, then the national team wouldn't need to set up separate gun and archery teams...

Regardless, Qin's gunmanship reason was much more plausible than the previous rookie excuse, so he simply explained it to Sang Duo.

Sang Duo didn't know much about guns but had an inkling since his brother-in-law Uncle Wen was a policeman who always carried a gun when entering the mountains; he had also witnessed the gun's power.

Although still somewhat skeptical, he was much more relaxed than before.

"Xiao Qin, since your archery is so good, today we're all counting on you... We must return fully loaded!"

Uncle Wen wasn't one to make a fuss. Although he had unintentionally become the shortest leg among the three, thinking that Qin, the best archer, was to be his son-in-law, made his heart much happier.

If Qin could hunt more prey today than his brother-in-law Sang Duo, then his status as father-in-law-to-be would be basking in reflected glory, which was much better than ending in tragedy every time he went hunting with his brother-in-law.

"Don't worry, leave it to me..."

Qin could also sense Uncle Wen's hard-pressed mood, guessing the reason he was willing to take Qin hunting was to find someone to bring up the rear.

Instead, the expected bottom dweller shot straight up to the top, which left him quite frustrated...

Sang Duo, on the other hand, didn't mind much. Mountain folk are like this; if you've got Skill, people will respect you a lot, and age can be set aside for a while.

Just like in the Gelan Tribe, a girl like Zhuoma, even if she's the chieftain's daughter, wouldn't be stronger than an average family's daughter, but Zhuoma possesses Strength greater than men, hence her status is utterly different.

If it weren't for the tribe's rule that the chieftain must be succeeded by a man, perhaps more people in the Gelan Tribe would be willing to have Zhuoma inherit the chieftain position.

Qin's situation was similar to Zhuoma's; age and everything else was trivial compared to his archery Skill, which even Sang Duo admired greatly.

With such Strength, their hunting trip this time would definitely not end in a terrible loss; perhaps they really could return fully loaded...

"Let's go!"

After dealing with the dead rabbit, the three set out on their journey, continuing deeper into the mountains, and kept searching for the traces of prey.

Sang Duo truly was an old hunter of many years, whose hunting experience was incomparable to a greenhorn like Qin, who only relied on his exceptional eyesight to hunt. But Sang Duo could find clues to the prey through subtle signs...

Such as identifying the prey, their travel routes, how large their size is, and any special habits, and so on...

These were all things that could be analyzed from simple traces!

Qin was like a studious child, following Sang Duo, asking questions here and there, firmly memorizing these rare experiences, while also paying attention to the surroundings, checking for any hidden prey.

Sang Duo didn't mind Qin's eagerness to learn, seemingly quite appreciative, always answering with great enthusiasm and seriousness whenever Qin inquired.

As an old hunter like Sang Duo, apart from hunting for himself, he also had the responsibility of teaching the tribe's youth these essential survival Skills; the tribe's continuance depended on good mastery...
