Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Swordsmanship and Archery
Translator: 549690339
Throwing the Wild Yellow Dog to the ground, as Lu Yuan sheathed his knife, a slight pain flashed through his mind, seemingly accompanied by something new.
But at the moment, busy dealing with the ferocious beasts in front of him, he didn’t have the time to check. His gaze remained tightly focused on the Wild Yellow Dogs outside, not daring to be careless.
Killing a Wild Yellow Dog with just one sword strike, this undoubtedly had a great deterrent effect on the other Wild Yellow Dogs.
Outside the wooden door, in addition to the one just killed, there were still four Wild Yellow Dogs gathered at the doorway.
But at this moment, they were looking at the corpse of their companion who had been killed, their greenish eyes flickering, filled with malice, occasionally glancing at each other and then at Lu Yuan behind the door.
These beasts were still fearless and refused to leave, as if the death of their companion had only incited their aggression, intending to continue their attack.
However, their companion had died too miserably earlier, and the door in front of them was too strong, so the Wild Yellow Dogs couldn’t decide what to do, freezing at the doorway.
Neither advancing nor retreating.
Just like that, they stared through the gap in the wooden door at the figure behind it.
“Damn animals, daring to target me,”
Lu Yuan looked at the four Wild Yellow Dogs outside with murderous eyes, his face cracked into a smile.
Earlier, he had killed a Wild Yellow Dog with a single stroke, and his previous experience played a significant role. As a result, he now knew that he had some ability to deal with these beasts.
On the contrary, with a sturdy wooden door in front of him, he was in a safe position.
With a knife and arrows at his disposal, his combat power was not weak. At least killing these Wild Yellow Dogs in front of him would not be a problem.
Having some assurance eased Lu Yuan’s fear. Although it wasn’t completely gone, it no longer affected his actions.
So, staring back at the malicious Wild Yellow Dogs, he didn’t waste any words. Since their focus was on his short knife, they didn’t dare to approach.
Lu Yuan simply put down the knife, took the Hunting Bow off his back, drew an arrow from the quiver at his waist, and lowered his body to aim through the gap in the door.
At the moment, the archery memory of his previous life seemed to be revived, and his body’s muscle memory made a habitual reaction.
His eyes narrowed, then he aimed at the closest Wild Yellow Dog, released his fingers, and a breaking sound rang out in the darkness.
Immediately after, the arrow struck the front leg of the Wild Yellow Dog with a thud.
“Woo!”
A painful howl instantly came from the mouth of the arrow-struck Wild Yellow Dog.
But it didn’t even have time to cry out twice before two more arrows flew toward it, hitting one of its eyes and waist respectively.
It was Lu Yuan who seized the opportunity, taking advantage of the dog’s injury to deliver a fatal blow and finish it off.
Being hit by three arrows in succession, even the Wild Yellow Dog’s strong vitality couldn’t withstand it. After struggling for a bit, it lay motionless in a pool of blood.
With another companion dead, the remaining three Wild Yellow dogs let out a roar.
Two of them looked fearfully at Lu Yuan and slowly retreated.
But the last one had its aggression unleashed and ignored the fate of its companions, directly pouncing on him, aiming for the direction of the wooden door.
At this moment, Lu Yuan had just loaded another arrow onto his bowstring. Seeing this, he didn’t hesitate to release the bowstring, shooting directly at the charging Wild Yellow Dog’s belly.
“Woo!”
With a painful cry, the Wild Yellow Dog slammed heavily into the wooden door. After making a loud bang, the arrow plunged deeper into its body, causing a second injury.
Lu Yuan took the opportunity and shot another arrow directly into its head.
After suffering heavy injuries, the Wild Yellow Dog struggled for a bit before lying motionless.
“Woo…”
The remaining two Wild Yellow Dogs, retreating, let out a mournful howl as they saw another companion die.
However, the sound of two more arrows flying through the air frightened them, and they didn’t dare to stay any longer. After dodging the arrows, they fled like the wind toward the cave’s entrance.
Watching their silhouettes disappearing into the darkness, Lu Yuan stood in place, staring for a moment. Only after making sure there were no more sounds did he let out a sigh of relief. Then, a wave of fatigue washed over him, and he slumped to the ground.
The recent battle, although he had been in an absolutely safe position, both stabbing the Wild Yellow Dogs with his knife and shooting them with arrows required a lot of strength.
Not to mention the mental exhaustion after a life-or-death struggle.
So the earlier confrontation, although brief, probably just three to five minutes, had taken a considerable toll on Lu Yuan’s physical and mental strength.
Not to mention the psychological impact caused by having to kill three Wild Yellow Dogs for the first time in a desperate fight.
So now that he had relaxed, he could no longer hold on and just wanted to rest well for a while.
Seizing the opportunity, Lu Yuan began to focus his attention on the thing that had appeared in his mind earlier.
[Skills: Crude Knife Technique (Beginner), Crude Archery (Beginner)]
“What is this?”
Looking at the skills that appeared in his mind, just like the “Immortality” talent from before, Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment before reacting: “This is the Attribute Template, Experience datatization.”
He was no stranger to the Attribute Template and Experience datatization, having watched many novels and played games before.
By solidifying a skill into attribute data with different experience levels, the skill can be upgraded when the necessary experience is reached, until it cannot be upgraded any further.
This is a standard feature for many traversers.
“So, is it because I just merged my previous life’s experience and memories, used the short knife and bow and arrow in actual combat, and killed the Wild Yellow Dogs that I learned these two skills?” Lu Yuan looked at the Attribute Template in his mind, deep in thought.
If it was really as he had guessed, it would make the path ahead easier.
However, at present, there were no conditions to verify his conjecture, so he just thought about it in his mind and decided not to dwell on it further.
After all, with his infinite lifespan and immortality, there would be plenty of time for experimentation in the future, so he didn’t have to rush for now.
Right now, all Lu Yuan wanted to do was rest well.
In just one day, he had experienced transmigration, life-and-death battles, and more. His body and mind were utterly exhausted, and he didn’t want to think about anything else.
After sitting against the wooden door for some time, he felt that his strength had mostly returned. Lu Yuan decided to get up again.
Glancing at the Wild Yellow Dog corpses lying outside the door, he contemplated before deciding not to open the door and deal with them.
Although the two Wild Yellow Dogs from before had left, who knew if they had gone far away?
Moreover, he didn’t know if there were more dangerous beasts outside.
So, for safety’s sake, it would be better to process the remaining corpses tomorrow when daylight came.
With that in mind, Lu Yuan checked the wooden door again before going back to the cave chamber.
