Chapter 1365: Chapter 600: Lanling’s Defiant Performance! Shocking the Centaurs!
Usually, Lanling rarely uses fifty Chain Arrows because the spiritual power consumption is more than three times that of thirty Chain Arrows, making it highly uneconomical.
Moreover, his spiritual power is not limitless.
However, Xie Li Khan’s combat prowess is so exaggerated that if he’s not careful, he could lose.
So, gritting his teeth, he shot the fifty Chain Arrows.
In an instant, an incomparably stunning and shocking scene unfolded.
In the blink of an eye, fifty arrows rained down like a torrential downpour.
The centaurs around were completely dumbfounded, not just because of accuracy, but the speed of these Chain Arrows was astonishingly fast.
So fast that eyes couldn’t even track them, in less than half a minute, he had shot fifty arrows.
Just this archery speed alone was incredibly impressive.
Moreover, with such fast shooting speed and dense arrows, it was practically a carpet bombing; it could indeed hit the targets.
Even Xie Li Khan was startled—this lowly Near-Human had an archery speed this fast?
“You can shoot a few targets with your haphazard barrage, but if you want to compete with me, that’s far too naive,” remarked Xie Li Khan.
He had just unleashed a roar, shooting down over twenty Harpies.
This lowly Near-Human’s chaotic barrage of fifty arrows—how many targets could it hit? At most two or three, at best.
However, what happened next stunned everyone, including Xie Li Khan.
“Bang, bang, bang, bang…”
It was like raining from the sky, one Harpy after another falling down.
Each Harpy had an arrow embedded in its neck.
These Harpies didn’t even have time to scream before they were killed!
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty…
Lanling, with one wave of Chain Arrows, had shot down fifty Harpies!
The Centaur warriors around were practically suffocating—this slaughter was just too… too exaggerated.
Centaurs were the best ground archers, and Chain Arrows were commonplace, but even those were at most twenty Chain Arrows, hitting two or three targets.
Fifty Chain Arrows, hitting fifty high-speed moving targets?
It was simply unheard of and unseen!
Too outrageous, too frightening!
Such archery wasn’t even seen among the entire Centaur Tribe!
Xie Li Khan was utterly dumbfounded as well.
Then he hastily charged out, beginning his frenzied performance!
Aiming at the dense Harpies in the sky, he roared with all his magic power!
“Roar…”
A powerful shockwave once again shot out.
The Harpies hit by it once more had their tendons and bones snapped, spat blood, and fell one after another.
…
These Harpies, though small and not highly skilled…
Yet as a terrifying force in the Southern Barbaric Lands, why were they so feared?
Precisely because they could fly, were fast, and could spit strong acid saliva.
The ground-dwelling races were virtually helpless against them.
Only the Centaur Tribe, with their astounding archery, could fight them, which was why these two gangs were mortal enemies.
And who are the Harpies’ biggest nemesis? The Winged Tribespeople!
Whenever they encounter the Winged Tribespeople, even in small numbers, the Harpies guarantee to flee in terror.
Because the Winged Tribespeople fly faster, are powerful, and their appearances are so beautiful that it leaves the Harpies feeling envious and inferior.
The key is, every so often, the Winged Tribe forms teams to purge the Harpies.
Why do they purge the Harpies? Is it because of hatred?
No, it’s not—the Harpies flee as soon as they see the Winged Tribe, where would the hatred even come from?
The Winged Tribespeople have only one reason for exterminating the Harpies: Just because you look pathetic, you think you deserve to fly with wings?
The Harpies look humanoid and have wings—these two features make them resemble the Winged Tribe, which offends the Winged Tribe.
What right does a pathetic creature like you have to resemble me? People might mistakenly think Harpies and we Winged Tribespeople are related, and what then?
So, periodically, the Winged Tribespeople carry out a massacre against the Harpies to remind the entire Southern Barbaric Lands that we have absolutely no relation with those dumbass Harpies!
Back to the Harpies.
Even though they aren’t highly skilled, their flight speed and toxic saliva make them a dominant force in the Southern Barbaric Lands that no Barbarian Tribe dares to provoke.
But today, encountering Lanling, they were exceedingly unfortunate.
Lanling’s archery was too fast and too accurate; no matter how fast they flew, they couldn’t dodge Lanling’s arrows.
Because damn Lanling would calculate trajectory in advance, would calculate flight paths.
Moreover, the not-so-strong skills and thin bodies of the Harpies were pierced with a single arrow.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”
Lanling’s rain-like Chain Arrows wildly rained down on the sky.
Groups of Harpy corpses, indeed, fell like raindrops.
The Harpies spotted this disaster known as Lanling and rushed over, spitting wildly at him.
Their attack style was truly disgusting to the extreme, yet incredibly destructive.
The saliva they spat out flew fast, like bullets, and upon hitting, it was even more potent than bullets, directly corroding through human bodies.
Even saliva could penetrate over half an inch thick steel plate, stronger than sulphuric acid.
But, against Lanling, it was destined to be ineffective!
Because although the Harpies’ saliva could be shot for four to five hundred meters, its effective range was merely two to three hundred meters, beyond which their saliva became inaccurate.
