Chapter 193 The Hunter and the Arrow
The sudden violent explosion instantly took more than thirty lives!
And the deaths caused by the ensuing chaos were countless.
The wails of the villagers from the Cox Village echoed over Emerald Estate. The horrific scene left the survivors pale with fear, and some young people were so terrified that they went mad, screaming and running back.
Those who were still alive were also stunned by the violent explosion.
Some people experienced temporary blindness, some were knocked unconscious by the blast, and others had their eardrums ruptured, becoming deaf.
Jared and the other Cox family leaders, who were commanding from the rear, were all in a daze, their faces expressionless, and even their eyes had lost luster.
They couldn't accept the reality before them. The shock was so great that their brains went into a state of shutdown.
A mentally unstable young man ran over, grabbed Jared's leg, and shouted frantically, "They're dead. They're all dead! Blown to pieces, arms, brains, all shattered! Mr. Jared Cox, they're all dead! All dead!"
Even though his mental state was already compromised, he instinctively sought out the family Chief, hoping to find a glimmer of hope.
Yet, when Jared heard his words, his brain slowly started processing, but his legs went weak, and he crumbled to the ground.
He looked at the horrific scene before him, his breathing becoming rapid. Despite the bitter cold that enveloped the surroundings, beads of sweat began to form on his forehead.
Soon, his face was covered in ice particles.
"Ghost... he's not human, so he's a ghost! We just wanted his supplies, but he killed dozens of us!" Jared's eyes were filled with panic, and he began to speak incoherently.
This seventy-year-old man couldn't withstand such a blow and was on the verge of collapse.
So many people had died, and as the clan leader and the initiator of this action, he couldn't escape responsibility!
The people of Cox Village had hoped that their elders could make a decision, but now even the village chief was mentally unstable.
They were like headless chickens, running around in panic without anyone to command them.
And the more they ran, the more people died in the traps.
Steven watched the scene from the second floor, confirming in his heart that the Ice and Snow Psychic had not shown up.
He put away his sniper rifle.
At a distance of 650 feet, there was no need to waste bullets.
A flash of white light appeared in his right hand, and a delicate compound bow appeared, along with two quivers of arrows.
Steven hung the quivers on his waist, held the bow in his left hand, and gave an order to the shelter's intelligent system.
"Open the window in front of me." As soon as he finished speaking, the large bulletproof glass window in front of him slowly lifted. The window opened outward, the wind and snow immediately rushing in.
Steven squinted his eyes and quickly drew three arrows, placing them on the bowstring.
With the assistance of Precision Shooting, he didn't need to aim much.
So, in the past half month, he had already been able to shoot three arrows simultaneously!
Standing in the darkness, Steven aimed at the remaining Cox Village villagers and began the hunt without mercy!
Three sharp arrows shot through the air. With the enhancement of his supernatural ability, the wind and snow didn't affect their trajectory.
Three villagers who were turning to flee were hit in the chest, the arrows piercing through them!
The modern compound bow, already extremely powerful, combined with the Precision Shooting ability, could even penetrate wild boars, let alone these villagers in down jackets!
The night enveloped the world in an impenetrable darkness, and the second floor, where Steven was perched, was shrouded in utter blackness.
The three arrows flew out silently, and amidst the tumult below, their targets remained unaware of the predator's gaze upon them.
Steven calmly continued to draw arrows and shoot methodically.
Since mastering the new skill, this was his first time testing it in actual combat.
And by killing live targets, his understanding of the skill deepened.
Everyone was within his range, and those trying to escape were his priority targets!
The arrows mercilessly claimed life after life, and soon, Steven had personally killed 26 villagers!
At this point, the surrounding people finally realized something was wrong.
"There's a hunter!" A villager shouted loudly.
Villagers with hunting rifles hurriedly raised their guns to aim.
But Steven was using a bow and arrow, with no gunfire or light to reveal his position.
In the darkness, Steven had infrared tactical goggles, while they could only rely on their eyes.
This confrontation was a complete technological mismatch.
Seeing someone raise a gun, Steven mercilessly prioritized killing the gunmen!
At the same time, he opened a Dimension Door in front of him, which would swallow any incoming objects into the extradimensional space.
The extradimensional space, as a top-tier defensive measure, was so powerful it was like a glitch in the system!
The veteran hunters only fired one shot before arrows pierced their heads, dying with their eyes wide open.
They couldn't understand how arrows could reach such a distance!
Seeing the villagers fall one by one, many of whom were friends and family, Jared and the other village leaders were filled with regret, especially Jared, who recalled Earl's words of advice!
At the time, he hadn't taken Steven seriously at all.
But now he realized how arrogant and conceited he had been!
Jared raised his hand and slapped himself hard. "I deserve to die! I'm the sinner of the Cox family!"
He shouldn't have ignored Earl's advice. At the very least, he should have brought Earl along.
To protect his dignity, he had caused the deaths of over a hundred of his villagers!
Steven drew his bow and shot three arrows at a time.
This feeling of not needing to aim deliberately but shooting with the assistance of his Supernatural ability was too wonderful.
It felt like playing a shooting game with cheats.
Indeed, ordinary people had no power to resist against a Psychic.
This was the disparity between people!
"Since you've come, you're not leaving... alive!" Steven's voice was cold, and he intended to kill everyone who came today, leaving no one alive!
At this moment, the wind and snow in the sky suddenly intensified.
The blizzard obscured Steven's vision, like a torrent between the shelter and the villagers.
Steven put down his bow, a look of excitement flashing in his eyes. "Why are you only coming now?"
The Psychic from Cox Village couldn't hold back any longer!
Steven immediately switched to his Magnum Sniper Rifle. In such a blizzard, arrows were no longer effective.
A sniper rifle was still needed!
