Chapter 152: Chapter 151: Thousands of Experience Points? (Please Subscribe)

Early the next morning, during breakfast, Chen Fan shared his plans with his parents.

Chen Guodong nodded without saying much, only reminding him to be careful.

Because he knew that, at the moment, there was no way he could help Chen Fan. Taking good care of the villagers and not letting Chen Fan worry might be the greatest help he could offer.

Yin Fang was naturally very worried.

After all, Anshan City was a hundred miles away, and the journey was fraught with dangers.

She repeated her advice at least ten times.

Chen Fan couldn’t help but smile wryly.

After patting his younger brother’s head, he strapped on his quiver, carried his treasure saber, and with a bow in hand, embarked on his journey.

He didn’t bring a spear.

With his current agility attribute, even a high-level fierce beast wouldn’t have a chance to get close, let alone a mid-level fierce beast.

"The spear is too long and inconvenient to carry. Moreover, with both a body refining secret manual and a spirit secret manual in hand, I can’t use basic martial arts to reduce the experience points needed."

Chen Fan thought to himself.

It’s better to practice archery and saber techniques for weapon martial arts, saving time for practicing other basic martial arts.

"This trip to Anshan City is also a good opportunity to change my weapons."

He glanced at the 500-pound draw weight bow in his hand; now, it felt like a child’s toy to him, with no challenge at all.

The saber at his waist also felt too lightweight.

With his strength, he needed at least a saber weighing three to four hundred pounds to feel powerful when swinging it.

Of course, if it’s an alloy battle saber, the price would be exorbitant. It would be best if the saber’s body is made of refined steel and the blade of alloy, which should be much cheaper.

Compared to the war saber, he’s actually more concerned about whether he can buy a suitable enhanced bow.

With his current power, drawing a bow with a 5000-pound draw weight wouldn’t be a problem.

What does a 5000-pound draw weight mean?

In ancient times, the Eight-Ox Crossbow had a range of over 1530 meters, shot arrows over two meters long, and could directly pierce castle walls at close range, allowing soldiers to scale the arrow shafts to mount the walls. This powerful crossbow required the combined strength of thirty soldiers or eight oxen, with a combined power of around 4500 pounds.

This means he could draw an Eight-Ox Crossbow by himself.

But there’s a problem; he can’t possibly go into battle with a ballista, right?

Chen Fan shrugged his shoulders.

If necessary, custom orders are an option, although they wouldn’t come cheap.

Walking alone on the prairie, he occasionally encountered one or two low-level fierce beasts, all of which he shot with arrows, following the principle that even a mosquito’s leg is meat.

In total, he gained a dozen experience points, which wasn’t bad.

As for the fierce beasts’ corpses, he left them where they were, possibly for the villagers to find and hunt later on.

After walking several hundred meters, the vegetation in front of him grew denser, reaching thigh height, with a few black dots visible in the distance.

"Ahead lies the danger zone. Walking through this zone will lead me to Anshan City."

He looked north.

If he turned and walked north, he would enter the territory of a commander-level fierce beast.

With his current weapons and equipment, he’s still a bit short.

He turned, lifted his foot, and walked forward.

Compared to the peaceful safe zone, this area was filled with the sounds of beasts’ roars. After walking deeper, it felt as if fierce beasts surrounded him from all sides.

It wasn’t long before Chen Fan realized that he was being watched.

Two porcupines, nearly two meters tall and over three meters long, covered in black spines that stood erect like needles. They had sharp tusks protruding from their mouths, looking extremely fierce.

He had encountered these on his first visit to Song Family Castle, a type of mid-level fierce beast rumored to have thick skin that could withstand rifle shots.

The two porcupines were quickly approaching. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Could they be taking me for prey?"

Chen Fan’s lips curved into a slight smile.

He was just looking for these creatures.

The porcupines quickly drew closer. At a distance of seven to eight hundred meters, their eyes gleamed with bloodlust as they charged at Chen Fan.

They were fast, reaching nearly 60 meters per second, and would close the distance in just over ten seconds.

With each porcupine weighing about half a ton, the impact at that speed would be catastrophic.

However, to Chen Fan, their speed was no different from ants crawling on the ground.

He calmly waited until they were about 300 meters away before drawing his bow.

"Snap!"

The arrow shot through the air with a loud crack, whistling as it flew, and almost instantly hit one porcupine, with most of the arrow embedding into its forehead.

This mid-level fierce beast immediately toppled over, its body spinning a few meters before landing, unable to even utter a final grunt.

The second porcupine met the same fate within less than a second, killed by a single arrow.

"It seems that a 500-pound draw weight bow is sufficient to kill typical mid-level fierce beasts even with ordinary arrows."

Chen Fan muttered to himself, then glanced at his panel.

[Experience Points +85]

[Experience Points +87]

In just a second or two, his experience points increased by over 170, almost a hundred times more efficient than killing low-level fierce beasts.
