High Martial Arts: Invincible Starts from Basic Archery novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Actually, There’s No Choice

Upon hearing this, the rest of the team felt their hearts sink.

Damn it, why did we have to run into these people right now?

"What should we do?"

Someone gritted their teeth and said, "They’ve definitely seen us too. Running away is not an option."

The others remained silent.

Indeed, now that they were in pairs, carrying their prey, they couldn’t move fast. Even a child could easily catch up to them.

"Damn it! If worse comes to worst, we’ll fight them!"

Gao Yang was a hothead. The last time they encountered a pack of wolves, he also advocated for a head-on clash.

"Exactly! A few days ago, that wildebeest accidentally fell into our trap. It was our prey. Those bastards from Li Family Stronghold saw that we were outnumbered, and in broad daylight, not only did they steal it, but they also slapped Guodong."

"What!"

Chen Fan looked at Chen Guodong in astonishment.

That night, he hadn’t mentioned this at all.

Chen Guodong shook his head calmly and said, "It’s all in the past."

Then he looked at the group, who were fuming with rage, and said, "A wise man knows when to retreat. Preserving our strength is the most important thing. If they really come to rob us, we should still give them a portion."

At this, the others wore expressions of discontent.

Facing a stronger opponent, if it came to a real fight, they would still be the ones to suffer.

But, if this happens once, it will happen again and again. Would they have to surrender all their hunting spoils to the people of the Li Family Stronghold from now on?

Why!

"Dad," Chen Fan said calmly, "there’s no need to surrender just yet. With me here this time, we don’t have to worry even if they come over."

"That’s right!"

Everyone’s eyes lit up, and their spirits were lifted.

Last time, Li Family Stronghold relied on their numbers and their long-range attack capabilities.

But this time, Xiaofan was with them!

His archery skills were extraordinary, far superior to those of the two in the Li Family Stronghold. If they dared to come over, they would definitely suffer!

"Moreover, this situation is not as simple as we think," Chen Fan continued.

"?"

"Xiaofan, what do you mean?"

The others were puzzled.

"If you look closely, you’ll see that they are two different groups of people. One group is from the Li Family Stronghold, and the other group is from the Gu Family Stronghold, whom we encountered while resting earlier," said Chen Fan.

The group moved forward a short distance, squinting their eyes to see in the distance. Sure enough, it seemed that the path was blocked by the people of the Li Family Stronghold, and it really looked like two distinct groups?

"If I’m not mistaken, it should be the people from the Gu Family Stronghold returning with their prey, and they just happened to be intercepted by the Li Family Stronghold. And at that moment, we appeared," Chen Fan analyzed. "Otherwise, the people from the Li Family Stronghold would have come over long ago upon seeing us."

"Hiss..."

The group collectively gasped.

"Xiaofan makes sense. The people of the Li Family Stronghold have always bullied the weak. Many of the smaller strongholds have been harassed by them, and some have even been wiped out," the bald man agreed.

"Wiped out from starvation more likely."

"Indeed, they robbed others of their prey, and during the winter, many of the elderly and young starved to death."

"Damn these beasts! No wonder they didn’t move when they saw us. They were busy robbing others," Gao Yang cursed. "Guodong, I think we should take this chance to ally with the Gu Family Stronghold and drive them away!"

Chen Guodong was tempted by the idea.

His restraint was not due to weakness but to avoid impulsive actions leading to severe consequences. Now, the Gu Family Stronghold was being bullied. If he ignored it, what would happen if they were next, and the Gu Family Stronghold did the same?

If it continued, the Li Family Stronghold would only become stronger, extorting the other strongholds even more aggressively.
