Paul said: "It's simple. Tomorrow is the Hunting Festival. The remaining nobles of Nebula City will ride their war horses, prepare their bows and arrows, and go hunting in the twisted jungle to the west of the city. You can just go there then."
In the magical continent, the nobles have fiefdoms and serfs work the fields to support them, so they have nothing to do all day long.
When they are free, they often hold various banquets and create many festivals.
Chris agreed: "Okay, but tonight..."
Paul immediately understood: "Come and stay at my house."
The two of them walked shoulder to shoulder and walked towards the Earl's Mansion.
Back at the mansion, Paul specially found a yard with a stable and asked Chris to tie up the armored crocodile first.
And he himself even circled around the giant crocodile several times, imagining how he would ride it in the future.
Chris said: "By the way, I asked Laagan to successfully breed dozens of young mares. I estimate that foals will be born in about half a year. Remember to come and choose when the time comes."
"Really?" Paul shouted excitedly. It was a double happiness. He couldn't wait.
At this time, little Anqi reminded: "Dad, it's noon."
Paul asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
"Meaning for dinner." Chris took out a barrel of gunpowder from the space ring and handed it to An Qi.
"Is this the food you prepared for your daughter? Why does it look like this?"
Chris pinched his eyebrows helplessly: "It's just a special hobby."
The little girl turned into a colorful dragon and started to cook.
According to her, even if you eat gunpowder in human form, it will taste very unpleasant.
"She, she can turn into a dragon?"
Chris nodded and said: "Well, the combat effectiveness of Angel Dragon form is no less than that of a first-order knight."
Paul was shocked again. He finally understood that when dealing with Chris, he would not have any other emotions except surprise.
Chris took out another barrel of gunpowder and said, "This is what I told you, so that ordinary people can deal with knights."
Paul picked up a handful, brought it to his nose and smelled it: "It smells weird."
Chris poured some on the ground and lit it with magic gunpowder.
A burst of white light flashed, accompanied by wisps of blue smoke.
After a while, only a puddle of ashes was left on the spot.
"I don't see any difference either." Paul said strangely.
"You'll know tomorrow."
······
On this day, the entire Nebula City became very lively.
As soon as the sun rose, the nobles took their knights and set off towards the west side of the city.
There were many of them, more than two hundred.
Among the crowd, a young man riding a giant crocodile stood out. He was wearing a red armor and holding a gorgeous long bow in his hand.
Lisa and An Qi rode behind them silently.
"Brother, why didn't you tell me you were here?" Earl Donald came over to greet him warmly.
Chris smiled and said: "I just arrived yesterday. I was too tired from the long journey, so I didn't go to see you."
"Just in time for the hunting festival, let me compete to see whose shooting skills are more accurate." Donald smiled heartily.
"good."
Chris had already inquired from Paul before coming. The entire hunting festival only lasted for one morning. At noon, they would leave the Twisted Jungle, display their prey, and then hold a barbecue banquet.
This is a festival, not a competition. Everyone is having fun together, but the person who hunts the most will also be honored.
Chris planned to wait until the afternoon to announce the official business. After all, he could not ruin other people's festivals, as this would only make the nobles dissatisfied.
A team of hundreds of people marched into the Twisted Jungle and dispersed.
In this vast forest, two hundred people are nothing.
The vegetation here is very lush, the bushes are as tall as half a man, and rabbits and deer run by from time to time.
"Chris, are you ready to enjoy the fun of hunting?" Paul drew the bow string and pointed it at a running little white rabbit.
"Whoosh!" The arrow rubbed the rabbit's body and penetrated into the ground.
The little white rabbit was frightened and ran away in a panic. Before it could run far, a red energy arrow hit its body.
"You can't do that." Chris laughed, and Lisa stepped forward and used the space ring to collect the rabbit body.
Paul lost his temper for a moment: "Then let's compete to see who can kill more prey. The loser must pay the other party ten gold coins."
Men cannot be told no.
Chris agreed without thinking: "Deal!"
So, they continued to go deeper.
An hour later, Paul had to admit that he was indeed much worse than Chris in archery.
He had only killed two rabbits and a deer, but Chris already had as many prey as he could count on both hands.
Suddenly, a black creature caught their attention.
It was an elephant, more than two meters tall and four to five meters long. The skin all over its body was dark gray and covered with a layer of horny skin, as if it was wearing a set of armor.
Chris said: "That seems to be a monster."
Paul nodded and confirmed: "Yes, a second-level steel elephant. What, are you interested?"
"I want to give it a try."
Paul quickly said: "I'm warning you, you can't use fighting spirit to attack during the hunting festival, only those who can be shot to death with bows and arrows will be counted. The steel armor has rough skin and thick flesh, which cannot be penetrated by ordinary people."
Chris drew the bow string, injected fighting spirit, and condensed a dark golden energy arrow.
"call out!"
The armor-piercing arrow arrived in the blink of an eye and pierced the armored elephant's head.
The elephant was grazing with its head down, unaware of what had happened, and then fell down.
Chris smiled and said: "My Qiongtian Explosive Flame Bow is a magical weapon. The armor-piercing arrows it shoots must be carefully weighed by even a sixth-level knight."
Paul was speechless for a while. If he had known better, he would not have made a bet with Chris.
I am really convinced by you.
The morning passed quickly, and the nobles all gained a lot.
At noon, participants in the hunting festival came out of the Twisted Jungle and placed their prey together on the edge of the forest.
Among them, the most eye-catching one was the young man wearing red armor. Not only did he have the largest number of prey, but there were even three second-level magical beasts, steel-armored elephants.
Donald came over, looked at the three steel-armored elephants lying on the ground, and said with approval: "I guess you are the only one who can hunt such a rough-skinned guy."
He had fought side by side with Chris, so he naturally knew the power of Qiongtian's Explosive Flame Bow.
"It's just a fluke."
At this time, the retinue of knights began to process the prey, and the nobles gathered together in twos and threes to chat.
Chris felt that the time had come, so he walked to the front of the crowd and shouted loudly, attracting everyone's attention.
