"Big brother!" Chen Rui turned around and saw Alice and Michelle walking over. Alice was still holding onto Bai Feng, and the surrounding elves all retreated. At the same time, they looked in shock at the unfamiliar 'elf' girl who could control Bai Feng.
"Big brother!" Michelle excitedly walked in front of Chen Rui and said, "Alice and I got first place in the riding competition! Look, this is our prize! "
With Bai Feng's strength, it was reasonable for him to get first place. Chen Rui laughed and gave Michelle and Alice a thumbs up. "You guys are really amazing!"
Alice and Michelle happily high-fived each other. Chen Rui looked at the unicorn, who was trying to please him, and threw out a spirit fruit. Bai Feng made a difficult jump on the stairs and happily chewed on the spirit fruit.
Afterwards, Chen Rui introduced Michelle to Rolla. Rolla could clearly feel that the elf girl treated Chen Rui like a sister. Since she was his' sister-in-law 'and not his' sister ', her attitude towards him as' sister-in-law 'was naturally much more intimate.
At this time, more and more people had gathered in the archery field. Many elves had heard the news that the number one archer of the Magic Archer Corps was competing with a half-elf in archery. What shocked everyone was that there was no winner in either match!
At the same time, the triangle relationship between the half-elves, Altani, and Pang Luo was also dug up and quickly spread. Almost everyone present knew about Altani's vow to the Moonlight Goddess.
Chen Rui saw that the Elf Queen Liv had actually appeared in the VIP seats. Beside Queen Liv, he was surprised to see a familiar woman who was not an elf — the current Queen of the Rayo Empire, Rambis.
The Rayo Empire and the Silver Moon Fairy were allies. Rambis must have been invited to the New Moon Festival as a special guest.
Queen Liv's eyes were quite sharp. She had already discovered the presence of Chen Rui, as well as her younger daughter who was excitedly talking to Chen Rui. Her eyes flickered slightly. As the spectators were all elves, Rambis didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. She just whispered to Princess Phyllis, who was also an alumnus of Starlight Academy.
At this time, the final battle in the field had finally begun. The archery duel was a best of three, with each round lasting 20 minutes. The contestant had to use archery to kill the opponent. Auxiliary potions or weapons other than bows and arrows were not allowed.
If no one "died" within ten minutes, it would be a draw. If all three matches were a draw, then another match would be added to determine the winner. If it was another draw, then another match would be added, and so on.
Pang Luo and Tylos walked into the final battlefield. When they first entered, both of them could not move. They could only recover after the barrier was formed. Both of them were secretly gathering their strength while quickly observing the generated environment.
This was a forest environment. There were all kinds of hidden traps and killing intent. From time to time, various realistic magical beasts would appear to attack. Even if both of them stood still and did not attack, they would still "die".
Just as the environment was completely formed and the restraints were loosened, Pang Luo and Tylos moved at the same time. Due to the rules, the strength displayed by both of them was restricted to a certain extent. Now that the rules were released, their godly archery was immediately and vividly displayed.
Unlike the previous two matches, both of them attacked without hesitation. Their movements were as fast as lightning, and they began to shoot at each other at high speed.
Pang Luo's shooting speed was quite amazing. He shot three arrows with one bow. On the surface, three arrows at a time seemed normal. Some people could shoot ten arrows at the same time, but this kind of attack was too scattered. It was fine against a large number of enemies, but the attack against a single enemy was limited, especially against an opponent with the same archery skills.
Pang Luo's three arrows were held between the gaps of his four fingers, and he shot them one by one with the recoil of the bowstring. Although it was "in sequence", the speed was very fast. They left the bowstring almost at the same time, and each arrow had a different strength and trajectory. Less than a second after the three arrows were shot, another three arrows appeared on the bowstring. Countless whistling sounds were heard, as if hundreds of tracking missiles were flying accurately towards Tylos.
Tylos did not shoot multiple arrows at a time. One arrow per bow was relatively standard, but his shooting speed was still above Pang Luo's. His attacks were more refined and effective. Both of them were evenly matched.
The audience only saw the two of them constantly dodging in the forest. While moving, they launched fierce counterattacks. Countless whistling sounds became the main sound of the battlefield. The various difficult archery skills were amazing. These were not performances to show off, but real killing skills to assess the situation.
Chen Rui nodded secretly. In terms of archery alone, the elves were indeed invincible.
After a few rounds of attacks, the shooting frequency of both sides began to slow down. It was not because of their strength, but because they had a certain degree of understanding of each other's characteristics. The form of attack at the beginning was no longer effective. If it continued, it would only waste their stamina. So at the same time, they slowed down their rhythm and became more cautious when shooting.
If it was crazy shooting before, then now it was shooting in bursts. Although it was not as intense as shooting, it was more dangerous.
The elves watching the battle were all professionals. They knew that it would be a difficult tug-of-war. It was not only a competition of archery skills, but also tactics, willpower, stamina, and other aspects. Whoever could seize the opportunity in a split second would be the final winner.
Swift figures moved and flashed in the forest. From time to time, the light of arrows could be seen lingering around them. Time passed minute by minute, and it was almost the time limit of 20 minutes. At this moment, the forest environment began to thin out.
A figure could be seen half-kneeling on the ground with a few arrows stuck in his body. It was Tylos, and opposite him was Pang Luo. He had only been hit by one arrow, and it was a slit in the throat.
Tylos won!
Altani cried tears of joy, while the elves were in an uproar. They could not believe their eyes — the number one archer of the Magic Archer Corps had been defeated! Defeated by the arrows of a half-elf!
Chen Rui could clearly see that Tylos had been at a disadvantage, but the half-elf was very clever. He deliberately used his injuries to numb his opponent, fighting as he moved, as if he wanted to stall for time to tie. Pang Luo, who thought that he had the absolute advantage, naturally refused to give up such a good situation and attacked fiercely. In his haste to succeed, Tylos seized the opportunity and killed him with a single arrow.
Turning his disadvantage into a victory and reversing the situation in one fell swoop was not a coincidence, but a true tactical accomplishment. It could be said that Pang Luo did not lose unjustly.
The boundary of the forest disappeared completely, and Tylos and Pang Luo were both teleported out. Pang Luo clutched his throat with a look of lingering fear. If he was not in the boundary, he would have died in the hands of this lowly half-elf!
Pang Luo's father, the elf elder Farle, looked at his son who was walking back in a daze. His face was ashen. A pure elf had lost to a half-elf in archery, and on such an important occasion at that. It was simply an intolerable shame!
This was no longer an ordinary archery competition, nor was it a bet for a woman. It was a battle that concerned the reputation of the entire Magic Archer Corps, the entire Hei Si Li family, and even the entire elven race!
Even Queen Liv and Emperor Lan Yao were paying attention to this duel. No matter what, Pang Luo could not lose again!
Farle walked in front of Pang Luo, who was still in disbelief, and slapped his son in the face. Pang Luo trembled, and five red marks appeared on his handsome face. Even his bow fell to the ground. The furious Farle stepped on it and broke it. He scolded, "It's only the first round. Keep your spirits up! The Hei Si Li family is about to be disgraced by you! "
Pang Luo was almost stunned by the slap. When he saw his father's eyes that were about to spit fire, he immediately quivered and sobered up.
Farle looked at the broken bow on the ground. He casually took out a bow and stuffed it into Pang Luo's hands. "If you lose again, don't come back to see me!"
Pang Luo looked at the bow in his hand, and a look of pleasant surprise flashed across his face. He nodded his head vigorously.
In the stands, Chen Rui's eyes narrowed. Rolla said softly, "That bow …"
Chen Rui nodded and shook her hand, indicating that Rolla should continue watching.
In the VIP seats, Queen Liv also saw the bow that Farle handed to Pang Luo. She frowned slightly, wanting to say something, but in the end, she didn't.
The second round began very quickly. Although Tylos had suffered a certain amount of exhaustion and injuries in the previous round, Pang Luo's fatal injury had received a certain degree of compensation. The two of them were back on the same starting line.
The second round's barrier was a hilly environment. There were much less cover than in the jungle, which made it even more difficult for both sides to dodge. For a top archer like this, using arrows to break arrows was the most important defensive strategy, which was to use offense to replace defense.
This would also be an exciting battle that was far more intense than the previous round.
However, when the duel began, it was overwhelmingly one-sided. The half-elves' arrows couldn't stop Pang Luo's arrows at all. This was because Pang Luo's arrows were far stronger and faster than the first round. When the two arrows collided, Pang Luo's arrow would usually shatter Tylos' arrow and continue flying.
"That's …" The little elf princess beside Chen Rui looked at the bow in Pang Luo's hand and finally understood. "Despicable!"
"Michelle?" Alice asked curiously.
"The bow Pang Luo uses is called the Mystic Moon Bow. It was once the Elf King Spann's quasi-divine weapon. It's one of the three elven bows, and its power is astonishing. After His Highness Spann quelled the elven crisis, he gave the Mystic Moon Bow to Lord Tannis as a reward for his bravery. After Lord Tannis died of illness, the bow was passed on to Lord Tannis's son, Elder Farle. I didn't think that Elder Farle would give the Mystic Moon Bow to Pang Luo in order to let him win! "
Michelle's words allowed Chen Rui to understand the origins of the bow. It was actually a treasure used by the Elf King's father-in-law. At this moment, the outcome of the duel had already been decided. Tylos had lost without any suspense.
The elves immediately cheered, but there were also some elves who discovered the mystery behind it and weren't as happy as the others. Although this was only a loophole in the rules, no matter what, this competition of top archery had already changed.
After the barrier disappeared, the gnome glanced at Pang Luo, his eyes filled with grief and disdain. As his opponent, he knew better than anyone how Pang Luo had won.
Pang Luo turned his head away guiltily, pretending not to see the look in his eyes. He only raised the Mystic Moon Bow high and accepted the elves' cheers.
When the gnome walked back to Altani's side with a gloomy expression, he unexpectedly discovered that there was another figure by her side. It was the "master" who had helped him enter the Silver Moon Immortal Capital. It was very likely that he was another important figure of the Elf King!
The gnome was still very grateful to Chen Rui. Just as he was about to bow, Chen Rui's voice rang out in his heart.
"Very angry?" This sentence caused the gnome to lower his head.
Chen Rui's gaze swept across the VIP seats, and he indifferently said, "This is not a fair world to begin with."
"I understand." Tylos raised his head. There was not a trace of hesitation or cowardice in his eyes. "We can only fight to the death."
"That's right. Blaming the heavens and others is useless. All we can do is be unyielding and go against the current. Perhaps we will have a chance at survival, or perhaps we can even grasp the lifeline of fate …" Chen Rui paused. "Since you already have this kind of understanding, then take this arrow. Use your greatest courage and determination to shoot it."
Tylos suddenly felt that he was holding an arrow in his hand. It looked very ordinary, but the arrow was made of golden feathers.
When he looked at Chen Rui again, he had already disappeared. From the expressions of Altani and the nearby elves, that person seemed to be an illusion that did not exist. Only the arrow in his hand was real.
