Lan Mu said solemnly, "Where is the competition held? Does the government not care if someone dies? "
Fang Moqi's eyes did not waver as he said, "Every time the competition starts, it's in a different place. The organizers are rich and powerful, and the shooters all voluntarily sign a life and death agreement before the competition, so this kind of competition has always been held smoothly. "
Lan Mu said seriously, "You participated in that kind of competition and got second place?"
Fang Moqi said, "Yes, I defeated all the strong people from different countries without killing a single person, and finally entered the finals with one person."
Lan Mu looked at Fang Moqi in surprise. He did not expect him to win without killing a single person in that kind of life and death battle. It meant that every opponent he met was much stronger than him.
Fang Moqi continued, "That person was very strong. He was the real world's strongest shooter, the number one explorer in the United States, and the genius of the adventurer Gates family."
"His name was Bentu Gates. He participated in three competitions and got first place three times in a row without killing a single person. He won all of them easily."
"He was never hit by an arrow!"
Lan Mu blinked. He saw that Fang Moqi's eyes were filled with reminiscence and nostalgia, as well as the appreciation between strong cultivators.
"You had a final battle with him to determine the number one in the world? You lost? So you were second? "
Fang Moqi said in a low voice, "Yes, I signed a life and death agreement with him for the final battle. Many people said that I was the most likely person to defeat him and become the new king, because I also crushed my opponents all the way to the finals. "
"The location of that battle was in a primitive forest in Costa Rica. The organizers divided the area, and we could only fight in an area full of hidden cameras."
"Within the rules, we could hide anywhere, and there was no time limit. He and I were each other's hunters, and at the same time, each other's prey. "
"Until one of us died or one of us admitted defeat. If we were hit in the center of the steel plate, it would be considered 'death' and we would lose."
Lan Mu listened attentively and did not interrupt him.
Fang Moqi continued to recall, "Within a radius of three kilometers, he and I hid, searched, probed, and fought to the death …"
"His reflexes and archery skills are better than mine. His forest detection and anti-detection abilities are also outstanding."
"I've always been suppressed. The duel lasted for three whole days. During those three days of challenging the limits of life and death, I grew very quickly. I survived several crises."
"We didn't eat, drink, or sleep for three days. Both of us were about to reach our limits. The final battle took place in the rainforest."
"In the end, Gates was stronger. He shot an arrow first. My reaction was a fraction of a second slower. Instead of dodging, I immediately shot back."
Lan Mu widened his eyes and asked, "You're too slow! So you lost? "
Fang Moqi said in a low voice, "His arrow hit my chest. It penetrated the steel plate and almost pierced my flesh."
"My arrow was supposed to hit his chest as well. But he … was too arrogant. He clearly had a steel plate protecting his chest, but he insisted on dodging the arrow."
"In the time limit, he made a move that I couldn't do at that time. He avoided his chest, and the arrow hit his lung."
"The organizers later declared me the loser. He became the world's number one archer for the fourth time. And because I was the only one to hit Gates, I became number two. No one could refute that."
Lan Mu patted Fang Moqi's shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged. Come again next time. You'll definitely win. The gap between you two isn't that big."
Fang Moqi said, "That's what I thought. After that, I trained hard in archery and went to all kinds of dangerous places to train myself. I grew in extreme environments."
"A year passed. I grew very quickly. At 30 years old, I trained my reflexes to the limits of the human body. It can be said that I'm not weaker than Gates in terms of raw strength."
"But when I wanted to challenge him again, I was told that not long after the competition ended, he died of a bacterial infection. It was because of my arrow."
Speaking of this, Fang Moqi frowned. He was unwilling and regretful.
"The people from Gates' family told me that my arrow was full of viruses and bacteria in the rainforest for three days. After hitting him, he died of a lung infection."
"That guy, if he hadn't dodged my arrow, he wouldn't have died at all!"
"But he was too arrogant. For glory, for the sake of no one could hit him, he had to dodge with all his might."
"In order to win, he would rather be shot in the lung than be shot in the heart with a steel plate. Even if I had shot him in the heart, I would have lost because I 'died' first. "
"So, the result that time was … I lost, and he died."
"That guy, I never had the chance to defeat him again."
After saying this, Fang Moqi looked depressed. He was sad because the greatest opponent in his life had died.
Lan Mu remembered that in his backpack at the club, in the middle of a pile of weapons, there was a steel plate that had been pierced through.
After thinking for a bit, Lan Mu knew that Fang Moqi had kept the steel plate that Gates had shot through. This steel plate symbolized his one and only defeat.
Perhaps his heart had never calmed down. He was always thinking of the person who had died at his hands but won against him.
Perhaps this was the mutual appreciation between opponents.
"But … but why did you want to fight me to the death? You wanted me to participate in that competition with you? "Lan Mu suddenly thought of Fang Moqi's words at the beginning and asked with a puzzled expression.
Fang Moqi calmed down a bit and said to Lan Mu, "It's been three years. Other than Gates, I haven't been defeated by anyone else. But you beat me with a bow and arrow, and it was a one-sided victory."
"To be honest, just in terms of archery, you've far surpassed me and Gates."
"But a real shooter needs a battle of life and death to determine the victor."
Fang Moqi said with a serious face, "Gates defeated me, and I have nothing to say! He paid the price with his life. "
"But I won't allow myself to lose to anyone else! So … fight me to the death! "
"Only if you defeat me in a real battle like this will I acknowledge you."
Lan Mu saw that Fang Moqi was so serious that he seemed to be serious. He hesitated.
He wasn't afraid. Up until now, Lan Mu's two targets had both been in the forest.
If they fought here, he didn't believe that he would die.
"But … I see you as a friend. Is it really okay to fight to the death?"
Hearing Lan Mu's words, Fang Moqi was stunned. He laughed loudly and said, "I see you as a friend too!"
"Put it on. I'm ready."
After saying that, Fang Moqi took out two sets of protective steel plates. They were connected with ropes and could protect the front and back of his heart.
Lan Mu took the protective equipment and sighed. "But you just fought with the crocodile and used up a lot of energy. Is there a need to fight now?"
"It's okay. I didn't use up much energy. Plus, I've been to this forest many times. I'm much more familiar with it than you are. You'll be at a disadvantage."
Lan Mu was speechless. He could only say, "Okay! If you insist … "
"I accept!"
"But I hope this is the last time. I really don't want to fight with you anymore."
Fang Moqi smiled as he retreated into the forest.
"Okay … the range will be from here to the previous campsite …"
"Be careful to hide yourself. I won't go easy on you."
After saying that, he completely disappeared into the forest.
Lan Mu also took out his bow and arrow and became serious. He turned around and changed his position. He kept running in the forest. After about five minutes, he hid behind a big tree.
"Without a time limit, the longer I drag it out, the more energy I'll consume."
"In the forest, unless I eat raw food to replenish my energy, I'll probably be discovered once I start a fire."
"In the case of the enemy in the dark and I'm in the open, I'll be at an absolute disadvantage."
Lan Mu pretended to analyze at first, but in the end, he realized that he had no experience at all. Why was he pretending to be an expert?
"Tsk, should I just transform and settle it? Let's finish it quickly. Du Yu and the others are still waiting for us to go back for lunch. "
Thinking of this, Lan Mu first turned into an elf. Then, he put on his hat and climbed up the tree that was more than forty meters high.
He observed the surroundings with his sharp eyes. Although his ears were covered by the hat, he was restlessly listening to the movements.
Suddenly, there was the sound of a bowstring moving.
An arrow flew out from the branches and headed straight for him.
Lan Mu was shocked. He channeled the Force of Nature into his legs and moved quickly, dodging the arrow.
"That was close! I was discovered so quickly? "
Lan Mu didn't dare to stay any longer. He nimbly jumped from the top of the tree and ran into the distance as soon as he landed.
This time, his speed was much faster than his human form. In about five minutes, he was already lost in the forest.
Looking around, Lan Mu hid under the leaves and thought of a countermeasure.
"Fang Moqi is really something. My hiding position as a human was easily discovered by him."
"Luckily, I transformed into an elf in advance. That's why I was able to dodge that arrow."
"If I had been a little later, I might have been shot to death before I could transform."
Lan Mu was a little scared. If he had been in his human form, he might have only reacted when the arrow hit him. If he had died in Fang Moqi's hands like this, it would have been an unjust death.
Therefore, Lan Mu didn't dare to be careless. He decided to maintain his transformed state.
His human form was too weak. In a battle of life and death with an ultimate contender like Fang Moqi, his human form had no power to fight back.
"Yes, I tried my best to observe his position just now. But in my elf form, I still didn't discover Fang Moqi's hiding position. It's clear that he has a deep foundation in hiding. I have no scouting experience. Even if my five senses are far superior to humans, it's still not enough."
"So I still have to rely on the white-furred lion?"
"A showdown between the hunter and the hunted …"
"A hunter is undoubtedly the most suitable target for my transformation."
Taking off his shirt and hat, Lan Mu instantly transformed into the white-furred lion. His scarlet eyes penetrated the heavy curtains and countless creatures fell into his perception.
"In front of a hunter, you can only be the prey forever!"
