Chapter 49 The Trial of Artemis

"Huh~"

After ending the pain of the Kaludong wild boar, Xin Sheng let out a long breath.

Although the whole battle seems to be going very fast, the danger between the square inch should not be underestimated.

If Xin Sheng failed to escape the first round of charge from the Kaludong Wild Boar, he would probably be the one who fell here.

Xin Sheng made plans before the hunting began, but in fact the battle did not proceed completely according to his vision, and it can be said that there is a certain component of luck.

Xin Sheng originally predicted that after the first stab of Kaludong's wild boar was stabbed by a short spear, he would turn around and launch a second charge with injuries.

He was even ready for a long battle. It was not until the Calydon wild boar fell into weakness due to excessive blood loss due to multiple trauma, that rhubarb and Daedalus would enter the battlefield to harvest victory one after another.

Xin Sheng's short spear was specially customized after taking over Daphne's mission. Both sides of the spear blade were equipped with deep blood grooves specially designed for bloodletting for large beasts.

The wild boar of Kaludong's pursuit of death gave Xin Sheng the opportunity to end the battle quickly. With the opportunity, Xin Sheng threw out the weapon in his hand with all his might, leaving only a short spear to defend himself.

If the thrown short spear fails to accurately hit the wild boar's fragile abdomen within a few seconds, Xin Sheng can only use the remaining short spear in the next battle, and the fault tolerance rate will further decrease.

Wild boars are sociable creatures. The longer the time is, the more unfavorable the situation is to Xin Sheng.

He had long seen other wild boars approaching the battle site, once they were surrounded by beasts...

With the death of the Calydon wild boar, the wild boars that were originally gathered nearby to try to reinforce the leader made panic cry at the same time.

After the first wild boar turned around and ran away, the dozen wild boars present immediately followed suit and fled in all directions.

The daughter of Artemis, who had been hiding in the nearby bushes, did not let any wild boar go, and each used his own means to kill the prey that fled in his direction.

The weight of the Calydon wild boar is amazing, and it is unrealistic to carry it back.

Daphne also knew this, and when he released the mission, he only asked Xin Sheng to bring his fangs back as evidence.

"Click~"

After knocking off a few fangs with a short spear, Xin Sheng greeted the daughter of Artemis around him and asked them to handle the subsequent work.

Squatting down and rubbing the dog's head of the yellow dog, Xin Sheng smiled and said to Daedalus who was parked on his left arm: "Let's go~ You have something to eat again tonight."

...

"I have received a report from my sisters. Congratulations on your successful killing of the Kaludon wild boar, the 'Beast Slayer'."

When Xin Sheng returned to the Temple of Artemis and handed over the fangs of the wild boar to Daphne, the leader of the daughter of Artemis flashed inexplicable light and even gave Xin Sheng a strange title.

"Beast Slayer?"

Daphne explained with a smile: "This is the tradition of the daughter of Artemis. Hunters who have killed any legendary animal will be given the title of "Beast Slayer."

"You have completed my commission and as agreed, this is your reward."

Daphne happily handed the weirdly stunny hunting bow to Xin Sheng.

"This is a treasure passed down from generation to generation by the daughter of Artemis. The Bow of Artemis is only qualified to use it by those who have hunted legendary animals."

‘Treasure…?’

"System, is this bow an artifact of Eden?"

System: "No."

Xin Sheng was a little disappointed when he held the hunting bow, which was named the hunting goddess with his own hands.

However, although the Artemis Bow is not a magical artifact made by the Ishuren, there is a reason why it can be regarded as a treasure by the daughter of Artemis.

Xin Sheng pulled out an arrow and put it on the string, trying to pull the bowstring.

Accustomed to the hunting bow with a 60-pound strength, Xin Sheng was really surprised when he pulled the Artemis Bow for the first time.

“Very heavy.”

Without systematic data identification, Xin Sheng could not accurately describe the pounds of this hunting bow.

It is estimated that the pulling force of Artemis's bow is at least 90 pounds, which is already a considerable pound for a short bow with a harder feel.

According to some modern research, many people think that ancient archers were perverts who could use 150-pound bows at will on the battlefield.

But in fact, this is a wrong perception.

According to the English longbow measurements discovered by archaeologists in the Mary Ross shipwreck, the number of longbow pulling pounds at that time was between 100 and 180 pounds, mostly 150 pounds and 160 pounds.

When this discovery was first announced, it caused a violent shock in the traditional British bow world because it was seriously inconsistent with the longbow pounds passed down from ancient times in England.

The inheritance of the English longbow is relatively complete. The British once used the inherited longbow to participate in the archery competitions of the Olympics.

At that time, the pounds of longbows used by the British were generally 90 pounds, and only half of the pounds of ancient longbows excavated from the Mary Ross.

Why is there such a big difference?

Because the bow-body wood used in modern longbows and longbows fished out from wrecks, there will naturally be huge gaps in the evaluation criteria.

The ancient English longbow used purple-shirted wood that was abundant on the Mediterranean coast, mainly from Venice and Spain.

The average low temperature in the Mediterranean region is relatively high, and the local purple-shirt wood density is relatively low.

Modern traditional longbows use firm purple-shirted wood produced in the cold zone, and the measurement standards of the two are not the same.

According to subsequent confirmation, the actual pulling force of the ancient English longbow was only more than half of the data verified by archaeologists.

This is the case with a smoother long bow, let alone a short bow.

There must be people who can drive a bow of 150 pounds or even 180 pounds, but that requires long-term special practice of the bow-drawing force.

And being able to open and being able to shoot correctly are completely different things.

In ancient times, the high-pound bow was mostly used to test the ultimate power. It would be nice to use a bow with half of its maximum pound in actual combat.

Xin Sheng's combat style is mainly clever, and using a bow with too high pounds will affect his combat rhythm.

"This bow..."

Xin Sheng can pull a 90-pound bow, but without long-term practice, the accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

However, this is also because Xin Sheng's bow technique has just been upgraded to level 4, and his strength attributes are not enough.

If he continues to upgrade his bow level and exercise his physical strength, Xin Sheng believes that the number of bow pounds he can use skillfully in actual combat will continue to increase.

Daphne said solemnly: "The trial of Artemis is not over yet, and this long-standing hunting bow is just the beginning."

"Including the Calydon wild boars you have successfully hunted, there are 8 legendary animals in all parts of Greece."

"For every successful hunting of a legendary animal, the local Artemis daughter branch will give you corresponding rewards."

"When you complete all the hunting trials, remember to come to me by the Hunter Village of Chios Island, and I will give you the final reward."

Xin Sheng didn't know what Daphne had, but it seemed that she had no malice.

As long as there are rewards to get, Xin Sheng doesn't mind hunting a few wild beasts on the journey.

After all, Xin Sheng is also professionally specialized in hunters. Challenging more powerful prey is what hunters should have.

...

When Xin Sheng returned to Kira Town to meet Natiya, Natiya, who used to be a little adult, rarely showed the vitality that a girl should be.

The strong woman with a helpless look on her face standing in front of Natiya is the hawk trainer who raised Natiya since childhood - Kassandra.

She finally returned from the front line of Megalis and was about to find Elpino, the mission client, to "delivery" the mission.
