Chapter 7 Locust Stone

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhong Lin and his brother had a full stomach. They put their luggage on the wheelbarrow, put their hunting knives on their waists, carried bows and arrows on their backs, and strode out of Xiahe Village facing the rising sun.

In fact, they didn't have much luggage, just an iron pot, a few tattered clothes and bacon, which could be said to be all their belongings.

Zhong Lin came here through time, and apart from the memories left by his predecessor, he had no nostalgia for Xiahe Village.

Little Stone was just a child, and at this time he was overwhelmed by the excitement of going on a long journey, and he didn't know that he might never come back in the future.

Under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, Uncle Yutou sighed as he watched the backs of the two brothers Zhong Lin leaving.

…

The weather was clear, with blue sky and white clouds, and the sunset glowed for thousands of miles.

Little Stone took short steps, sometimes running to the roadside to pick a flower, and sometimes crawling into the bushes to catch insects, and was extremely excited.

Zhong Lin pushed the wheelbarrow while thinking about the future, heading south.

"Heishan County is located in the south of Xiahe Village, 80 miles away, with four hills. Of course, 80 miles is just the straight-line distance. If you measure it by foot, it may be 200 to 300 miles. It is indeed a remote and poor place!" Zhong Lin sighed.

This world is different from the previous one. This is an era where you have to walk to go out and shout to talk. It may take several days to walk a distance of 200 to 300 miles.

A large and a small wheelbarrow gradually went farther and farther, and Xiahe Village behind them slowly disappeared into the sky.

The two walked along the river without stopping for a moment. When Xiao Shitou was tired, he let him sit on the wheelbarrow. Zhong Lin continued to push it and walked forty miles in one morning.

At noon, the two stopped to make a fire and cook, fetch water from the river, chop wood from dead trees, and look for some wild vegetables, plus some smoked meat. Although the taste was not very good, it was enough to fill the stomachs of the two.

After resting for an hour, the two hurried on their way again.

After walking for another two hours in the afternoon, a small hill appeared in front of them. It was not very high, just over 200 meters.

"Shitou, don't sleep. Observe the surroundings carefully. If there is any situation, notify me immediately." Zhong Lin ordered.

There are many beasts in the mountains. Although the small hill in front of us is not high, who knows if we will encounter any danger. It is better to be cautious.

Shitou nodded heavily like a little adult, straightened his upper body, and his eyes kept scanning the surroundings like radar.

Zhong Lin also put the bow behind him on the wheelbarrow, which can be used at any time and be alert at all times.

Go up the mountain, go down the mountain.

All is well.

Zhong Lin also breathed a sigh of relief. It's best if nothing happens.

After going down the mountain, a fork in the road appeared in front of us, in the shape of a "Y", one to the left and the other to the right.

"Second brother, where are we going?"

Zhong Shi bit his nails and turned his head to look at Zhong Lin.

"This way."

Zhong Lin slightly raised his wheelbarrow and went directly to the fork in the road on the right.

His previous life had never been to Heishan County, but he knew the path from his father and brother, so he basically would not go wrong.

The two continued along the mountain road without stopping, and the sun gradually set.

They didn't find a place to camp, but they were not worried. This road is often walked by people. Unlike other places, there are many wild beasts at night. As long as you pay attention, there will be no big problems at night.

Of course, camping at night is basically done only when it is necessary. Let alone the wild beasts that hunt at night, but if it is windy and rainy, dew and frost are enough to make people drink a pot. After all, there is no special medicine in this era. Sometimes a cold can kill people.

Fortunately, the moon is bright tonight, so there is no need to worry about extreme weather.

They found a pile of dry firewood, lit a bonfire, and the two brothers rested together.

Xiao Shitou fell asleep quickly, but Zhong Lin didn't dare to sleep. This is in the wild. Even if he had two courage, he wouldn't dare to fall asleep.

He didn't plan to sleep at night, just to take a nap after dawn.

After finding an old piece of clothing to cover the small stone, Zhong Lin stood up and found a pile of small stones to put at his feet, and then threw them at the eucalyptus tree more than ten meters away.

At first, due to the angle and strength, he could not hit the target once, but after continuous adjustment, he could hit three or four times out of ten.

While throwing the stone, Zhong Lin glanced at the system panel from time to time.

At this time, the skill "Archery" was still lying alone on the skill bar of the system panel. Under the premise that he could not learn other new skills, Zhong Lin could only use some other means to see if he could form new skills.

For example, the "Stone Throwing" that he is currently practicing.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, take a look!

"There is a hero in Liangshan Marsh who is known as "No Feather Arrow". He uses stones to throw stones. His unique skill of throwing stones has made many heroes in Liangshan lose their temper. I have a system panel to help. As long as you get started and form skills, you can use skill points to increase to the maximum level. I don't know if this will work."

No matter if it works or not, there is no other way to learn skills, so I can only use this stupid method.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish, swish, swish!

Zhong Lin kept throwing stones. When there were no more stones, he would pick them up. After picking them up, he continued to throw. When his right hand was tired, he would use his left hand.

After a night, Zhong Lin's eyes were red and his dark circles were almost like a panda, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"System."

Host: Zhong Lin

Skills: Archery (full level), Locust Stone (primary)

Skill points: ∞

A night of hard work really formed skills.

"Flying stones are flying stones, and locust stones, isn't it more classy if it's called that?" Zhong Lin secretly complained in his heart.

Although he complained, Zhong Lin also knew that the name was because the stones flew in the air like locusts, so it was called locust stones.

Locust stones are the most convenient and economical hidden weapons. They are available everywhere, and you don't need to spend money to buy them, nor do you need to spend time to figure them out. They are inexhaustible and can be picked up and fired at will, which is extremely convenient.

With a thought, the "∞" symbol on the skill point column became illusory, and then the two words "primary" in the brackets behind the locust stone instantly turned into "full level".

Without waiting for Zhong Lin to react, a fantasy memory appeared directly in his mind. In his memory, he picked up different stones and threw them every day.

First, he threw them at tree trunks at intervals of three meters, then four meters, five meters... ten meters...

After practicing to dozens of meters, he could still easily hit the tree trunks, and in his memory, he changed to a smaller target.

For decades, the last memory of myself could easily pick up a stone from the ground, and a flying locust stone shot down a flying bird from dozens of meters away.

Zhong Lin slowly opened his eyes, his emotion was beyond words: "It's worthy of the system. Now I feel like I have practiced the flying locust stone for decades, I can hit whatever I point at, effortlessly."
