Chapter 607: Entering the Mountains
The members of Team Five were also waiting, eager to see if the new official had the same intentions as Master Lan and whether he cared about Fang Xiyue or not.
If he didn't care, then they wouldn't be blamed.
Fang Xiyue even had a premonition that in these two days, the members of Team Five might make a move against her.
Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, another girl appeared in the hunting team.
And because of her, Fang Xiyue separated from Team Five and formed a team with the other girl.
Fang Xiyue was happy. Even if they were just hunting small game on the outskirts, at least she was safe.
After listening, Shu Yu didn't know whether to say she was lucky or unlucky, but she was glad to have a companion like her.
In fact, she didn't want to team up with those men either. When she saw them decline, she had been silent the whole time, thinking of using this opportunity to enter the mountains alone.
Fang Xiyue was curious about Shu Yu, especially when she saw her choose a bow and arrows. She couldn't help but ask, "Can you shoot arrows? Few women know how to shoot arrows."
Shu Yu pursed her lips and whispered, "I practiced before, but the bow and arrows were different from the ones we have now. I need to practice on the outskirts first, become familiar with it, and then venture deeper into the mountains. What do you think?"
"Of course, if you're not familiar and you go deep into the mountains, you'll be risking your life," Fang Xiyue said with a serious expression. "You're thinking right."
Shu Yu massaged her temples. Didn't normal people think like this too?
When she was in the modern world, she did learn archery. Whether it was a fixed or moving target, she could hit the bullseye, achieving excellent results.
At that time, some people even joked that she could participate in the Olympics.
However, the archery she practiced back then was just for fun in places like clubs or archery ranges. The bows and arrows were specially made. They were completely different from the traditional, natural bow and arrows she carried on her back now, both in terms of weight and feel. She needed to familiarize herself with them again.
Fortunately, she wasn't in a hurry.
As the two of them talked, they had already reached the foot of the mountain.
When they started getting closer to the forest, their footsteps became more cautious.
Shu Yu keenly noticed that as soon as Fang Xiyue entered the mountain, she became completely different. She walked lightly, observing in all directions and listening attentively. It was as if she belonged to this mountain and forest.
Shu Yu's eyes lit up, and ever since Fang Xiyue found out that she was one year older than her, she insisted on walking in front.
"I'll watch the path ahead. I can tell if there's any prey by looking at the footprints on the ground. You follow behind me. If you see any tracks, you can give it a try," Fang Xiyue said.
Shu Yu looked at her back and could only nod. "Okay."
Just as she finished speaking, Fang Xiyue suddenly crouched down and then turned her head, her eyes shining. "There should be wild chickens ahead. I saw their droppings, and they're fresh."
Shu Yu placed the bow and arrow in front of her. "Really? Let's go and take a look."
The two of them moved even more lightly, following the trail that Fang Xiyue had found. It didn't take long before they indeed spotted a wild chicken cautiously turning its head left and right, its vibrant feathers slightly moving. It then lowered its head and pecked at a bug.
Shu Yu placed an arrow on the bow, slowly pulled back her arm, squinted her eyes, and aimed in the direction of the wild chicken.
"Shoo!" The arrow flew straight ahead.
