Zhang Heng ran all the way to the dormitory and glanced at the elevators. During the holidays, only one of the two elevators in the building was still working, but it was currently on the ninth floor. It would take some time for it to come down, and he didn't know if it would stop at another floor. So, Zhang Heng chose the safety passage on the other side. He didn't know how long Shen Xixi and Ma Wei's imposter could last, so he had to seize every second. It only took Zhang Heng 47 seconds to reach the eleventh floor.
When he pushed the door open, he saw Ma Wei sweating profusely. The latter was sitting at his desk with a dull look on his face, clutching the wallet on the table. "How is this possible? I brought it with me when I left, and I even bought two buns for lunch. How could it be back before me? "
Ma Wei had never encountered something as unbelievable as today. After finishing his evening tutoring, he was about to return to his dormitory when he realized that his wallet and bicycle were missing. Ma Wei looked around but couldn't find them. He felt like the world was spinning around him.
Not only did he have his ID card and bank card in his wallet, but he also had more than 4,000 yuan in cash, which he had earned from tutoring for the past month. But now, all of it was gone. He used WeChat to transfer money to a nearby supermarket to get 4 yuan as change. He took the subway back to school, but he was in a daze the whole way.
He did not expect to find his old bicycle downstairs and his missing wallet on his desk. Not only was he not missing a cent, but he also had an extra 400 yuan. Ma Wei felt as if he had just experienced a roller coaster ride. He was surprised and happy at the same time, but at the same time, he was puzzled. He did not even notice that Zhang Heng had rushed into the dormitory.
By the time he looked up, Zhang Heng had already rushed out the door. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zhang Heng's back and saw the SF recurve bow on him. "Archery practice? So late? "
Zhang Heng grabbed the bow and arrow, as well as the binoculars he'd just bought online. He didn't even bother to greet Ma Wei before rushing to the bathroom next to the dormitory. Using the binoculars, he searched for Shen Xixi and Ma Wei's imposter through the window. He saw them escaping from the lake and running towards the parking lot.
Zhang Heng chose a small copy shop located between the parking lot and the artificial lake. It was also the closest place to the male dormitory. He arrived there ahead of time and climbed up the parasol tree next to it. Just as he picked a spot for his ambush, he saw Shen Xixi and the fake Ma Wei not too far away.
However, the two of them did not notice him at this moment. All their attention was on the pool of black liquid behind them, and they were desperately running for their lives. He took a deep breath and pulled out the Paris Arrow from the quiver behind him.
The fake Ma Wei had mentioned that most supernatural monsters had the so-called Achilles' Heel. As long as the Achilles' Heel was found, even the most powerful monsters could be easily killed.
The Paris Arrow was a legendary game item related to Achilles' heel. The reason Zhang Heng ran back to his dormitory was to retrieve it. This wasn't the first time he used this game item, but he used it as an enhanced version of the arrow with an automatic angle correction function.
This was the first time he used the Paris Arrow against a supernatural creature, and he had no idea how effective it would be.
Zhang Heng nocked the Paris Arrow on the bowstring of his SF recurve bow. With his Lv.2 archery skill, Zhang Heng easily locked onto his target. He did not panic, waiting for Shen Xixi and the fake Ma Wei to pass by him before releasing his finger.
However, the next moment, something unexpected happened. Not only did the Paris Arrow fail to find the black liquid's weak point, but it also missed the target.
Zhang Heng had been practicing archery for a long time, and he could shoot at least eight points within a range of less than ten meters, even if it was a moving target. It was basically impossible for him to miss the target. The black liquid itself was much bigger than the targets he usually used in the archery hall. Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to miss the target.
Based on his past experience, the moment the arrow left the bowstring, it was supposed to be a good arrow. However, it was as if a mysterious force had forcibly changed the arrow's flight trajectory. Zhang Heng saw with his own eyes that the Paris Arrow had deviated from its original trajectory, flying over the black liquid and disappearing into the darkness.
Other than Zhang Heng, who shot the arrow, the two people and the monster did not even sense the arrow's existence.
Zhang Heng frowned. He first looked at Shen Xixi and the fake Ma Wei, who had escaped into the distance. Even if he caught up to them now, there was a high chance that he could not do anything to that thing. The latter's characteristics determined that it was almost immune to all physical damage. So, after a moment of hesitation, Zhang Heng decided to take a look at the Paris Arrow that had missed its target.
He remembered that the arrow flew in the southwest direction. He jumped down from the tree and ran in that direction. After running for about 120 meters, he saw the Paris Arrow that he had shot away earlier.
It was now stuck in the soil of a flower bed, and it was quite deep into the ground.
Zhang Heng felt a little baffled. The monster's weakness couldn't be the soil on the ground. Even if it was soil, there was plenty of it under the tree. There was no need for the Paris Arrow to fly here.
There was only one explanation for this situation. The Paris Arrow had used up all its kinetic energy before hitting the monster's weak point.
However, Zhang Heng was considered a veteran archer, and he knew his own strength well enough. Generally speaking, an arrow shot with the recurve bow in his hand could travel at least 200 meters. Even if wind resistance was taken into account, there was no reason for the arrow to only travel 120 meters.
Other than that, the angle at which the arrow entered the soil was very strange. Zhang Heng's heart skipped a beat. He thought of something and looked up at the building not far ahead.
It was the school library, and it had a total of seven floors. If the arrow's target was upstairs, everything would make sense. The kinetic energy that was lost was converted into gravitational potential energy. However, it was not enough for the arrow to reach the target. So, it fell from mid-air and inserted itself into the soil on the ground.
But at least it had completed its mission and pointed Zhang Heng in the right direction.
Although Zhang Heng did not know why the monster's weakness was in the school library, he knew that the answer to tonight's crisis might lie in it.
Zhang Heng pulled out the Paris Arrow from the ground, put it back on the bowstring, and carefully walked into the dark library in front of him.
