Chapter 176 Mercenaries
Yang Fanhai did not doubt that he was a drunk man, and did not think that this person would harm him. There was no reason or need.
However, the other party helped him like this because he gave him a pot of wine. Although it felt a bit far-fetched, Yi Ren's temper was often weird, so who could tell it clearly?
Following the drunkard, he was neither too late nor too slow, and soon he had arrived not far from the city gate.
There are many large tents here, even those that can be stuffed into hundreds of people at once. At this moment, many people are shouting there. When they hear it carefully, they are recruiting soldiers and horses just like those from the Tianren Mansion before.
Although there are many families and sects from the cultivation world who come to the Dongyi tribe to live, most of them are casual cultivators. Once you get something from hunting in the East China Sea, it will be quite good. For them, it is quite tempting, so the number of casual cultivators coming here at this time will be quite large.
In addition, there is a three-year Aquarius Festival this year, and the number of casual cultivators has reached a peak.
In addition to the Heavenly Mansion, there are other sects. The situation this year is quite special. In order to increase the chance of success in hunting, we naturally have to recruit more soldiers and horses.
Seeing the drunk man walking towards a large tent, Yang Fanhai hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him: "Senior, are you trying to let me go hunting in the East China Sea?"
"Of course!" the drunk man nodded: "The best place to practice archery at your level is the wasteland and the sea. You can rush on the wasteland, have a broad vision, and are the most relaxed. The sea also has a wide view, and there are waves and various possible situations. In comparison, it is more difficult and more suitable for you now."
Yang Fanhai said with some concern: "But the leader of the Dongyi tribe said that the East China Sea hunting this year is a bit weird, and he is afraid that there will be any variables, so it is better not to go there easily."
"It's okay, it's okay!" The drunkard waved his hand casually: "What are you afraid of if I am there, but only a few beasts are making trouble there, it's not worth mentioning."
This... Yang Fanhai thought about it, the drunk man could talk to him secretly under the eyes of Gongsun Xuanyuan and You Shanchuan, and his strength must be above those two. With such seniors escorting him, what else can I worry about?
While thinking, the drunk man had already walked to a tent door and said drunkenly: "Are you still recruiting people?"
"Full, full!" The recruiter at the door waved his hand in annoyance, but he looked a little depressed, and he didn't seem to be happy because he was attracted by the crowd.
The drunk man said with a smile on his face: "We are both sharpshooters, don't you think about it?"
"Sharpshooter?" The recruiter was slightly stunned, then looked at the drunk man suspiciously, and asked in disbelief: "Just...you?"
"Don't believe it!" The drunk man snorted unhappily and said to Yang Fanhai again: "Boy, let me demonstrate it."
Yang Fanhai spread his hands and took out the big iron bow given by the drunkard, and asked again: "How do you want to try?"
The recruited man looked around and pointed out outside the city gate: "Did you see the two stones with grass more than three thousand meters away?"
Looking along his finger, there was a small piece of sand and stone land more than three thousand meters away, with no vegetation, but a small grass grew in the gap between two stones, only about two inches long.
If you don’t have a certain level of cultivation, you can’t even see it. Fortunately, Yang Fanhai has good eyesight and has been trained by a drunk man, so it’s no problem. He nodded immediately: “Which stone should I shoot?”
"Stone? No, no!" The recruiter shook his head: "I want you to shoot the leaves of grass. The second leaf counted from bottom to top. If you hit it, you will pass the test."
Then he reminded with kindness: "Young people, if they don't have such skills, don't talk casually. It's fine if they don't have enough skills. For the Dongyi tribe, they may cause trouble if they dare to call themselves a sharpshooter."
"As a Sagittarius, wouldn't you know the rules of the Dongyi tribe?" The drunk man took a sip of wine and said lazily: "You dare to say this, you are naturally confident! Boy, shoot that leaf down for me."
"Okay, senior!"
Yang Fanhai stepped forward with an arrow, scattered his mind and calmed his energy, activated his true energy, and locked the second blade with his eyes like a sword. When he relaxed his hand, the arrow was like a meteor and arrived instantly.
A spark flashed, the arrows sank into the stone, and the second leaf had disappeared.
"Not bad, not bad!" the drunk man nodded: "Some improvement has been made."
Yang Fanhai breathed a little relieved, but he didn't dare to be content. During the time he attacked Yanzhou, after listening to Xu Fan's advice, he no longer led the way in every battle, but waited for the result in the rear.
While waiting, I didn't do anything, so I simply regarded myself as an archer, arched my bow and arrow in the rear, and used the soldiers of the Guifang tribe as the target to practice archery.
For him, the target of activity is much more difficult than the dead, even if the Ghost Tribe is so big. But as the drunkard said, he has a talent for practicing arrows. After two months, he can easily shoot the Ghost Tribe, and even the sparrows flying in the air are not a problem.
Although it is a bit difficult to shoot grass leaves now, it is a dead thing after all, so naturally there is no problem for him.
"Okay! That's all!" The recruiter immediately felt happy in his eyes, nodded repeatedly, and gave Yang Fanhai an iron plate: "This is your boarding certificate, and you will rely on it to receive the reward at that time, don't lose it."
"I understand!" Yang Fanhai ended up getting his iron card into his arms.
"Where is mine?" The drunk man hurriedly spread his hands, and naturally he wanted something.
The recruiter looked at him with contempt: "One code is the same as one code, he is him, you are you." Obviously, he still doesn't believe that the drunk man has a powerful ejaculation technique.
"Oh, it's really troublesome!"
The drunk man muttered, stretched out his hand, took the big bow from Yang Fanhai's hand, and picked up a branch casually, pulled open the big iron bow, and used the branch as an arrow, pulling and loosening, and the branches flew out like flowing light and flashed by.
Looking out of the city, I saw that the first blade of grass was broken halfway, and the branches were inserted into the stone like a sharp sword, without leaving any left.
"Good shooting skills!"
The recruiter immediately exclaimed. Although he was strong, he had lived in the Dongyi tribe's residence for a long time and had extraordinary experience.
Then the eyes of the drunk man became subtle, and he asked softly: "I don't know your honorable name."
There was a hint of respect in the voice.
There are many archers who shoot tens of thousands of people with one arrow in the Dongyi tribe, especially when the strength is very different. Too many people can do it. Even if that person does not understand archery skills, as long as his cultivation is enough, he can shoot an arrow with amazing destructive power.
But it is not something that ordinary people can do if they have to take a branch as an arrow so casually and hit the target so accurately. In other words, even in the Dongyi tribe’s residence, there are not many people who can do it.
The drunkard waved his hand: "The nameless little pawn is not worth mentioning. That, can I join, right?"
"Of course, of course!"
The recruiter nodded repeatedly, took out an iron card and prepared to hand it over to the drunkard. He didn't know what he thought of, but after hesitating for a moment, he took the iron card in, took a silver card and handed it to the drunkard.
"This is your certificate, please get it! As a silver medal employee, when the task is completed, you will receive three times the reward, and you can also have your own special lounge on the ship."
He was respectful when he spoke, and he was completely devoid of his previous arrogant appearance.
In the world of practitioners, the strong are respected, or the rules of the whole world are the same. Yang Fanhai has no expression on his face, but his heart is inexplicably touched.
But the drunk man obviously didn't feel anything, and just asked with a smile: "Is there any wine in the room?"
"Of course there is!" The recruiter nodded repeatedly: "No matter how much wine you drink, you can do it enough!"
"That's fine, that's fine!" The drunk man smiled and grabbed the jade sign and kissed it, turned his hand away, and handed over the wine gourd in his hand: "There's still some time to get on the boat. Can you fill this gourd with wine for me first?"
"sure!"
The recruiter nodded repeatedly, took the gourd, called another person and asked him to take the gourd down.
Hunting in the East China Sea is a big event for the casual cultivators. The reason why casual cultivators choose to live in the Dongyi tribe as their gathering place is because there are the best sharpshooters here and there are a large number of sharpshooters.
The battle at sea is much more troublesome than the battle on land. Although the monsters are no longer as terrifying as ten thousand years ago, the consequences of cultivators who have lost their flying ability because of the Jiuzhou barrier are approaching by the monsters will be unpredictable.
On such a battlefield, either they have absolute suppression strength or they have a large number of archers to attack from a long distance. Once weapons such as bows and arrows are formed in groups, they can have combat power far superior to monks of the same realm when they reach the hands of Dongyi warriors.
In the past, when hunting in the East China Sea, you could borrow enough archers from the Dongyi tribe at a suitable price. But this year is different. Because the situation in the East China Sea is a bit special, the Dongyi tribe is unwilling to let the sharpshooters participate in the battle. No matter what the price is paid, it is useless, making the archers who are good at shooting become extremely precious.
Originally, he couldn't find it, but now two of them came to him, and one of them was even more unfathomable, which made him who was responsible for recruitment naturally happy. If these two people could make contributions at that time, he would naturally have a small contribution to the recruitment.
The departure time had not yet come. While waiting for the wine, Yang Fanhai returned to his place to stay first and told Gongsun Xuanyuan about joining the East China Sea hunting, and convinced the other party by training archery as a reason.
Although he was puzzled why he made such a decision at this time, Gongsun Xuanyuan was a person who respected his subordinates' opinions very much, especially the reason for training archery skills, but he could not refute it, so he could only agree.
