Chapter 595, Mobile Shooting

Translator: Silavin

 

Cang Shi was excited to receive the firearm, his purple pupils constantly blinking as he examined the weapon.

 

Since receiving it, he had not put it down once. This item truly made him reluctant to part with it.

 

Several days had passed since the last firearm demonstration in the forest, and some Warriors had already obtained their firearms.

 

Everyone was now gathered outside the forest to conduct firearm training. This was all in preparation for the approaching eternal night.

 

At this time, nobody dared to be careless. Having obtained such a formidable weapon, that meant that they had no excuse. They now needed to maximise its effectiveness.

 

“The more I look at it, the more I can’t bear to put it down. This is so much better than those stone knives that we’ve used in the past.” Cang Shi laughed heartily.

 

He now kept the firearm beside him even when sleeping, treating it as if it were his own Son. Wherever he went, he would carry it with him.

 

When training those Warriors, he would carry the firearm on his back. In any case, he would not allow it to be separated from him.

 

“Stone knives cannot be compared to firearms. I believe even the finest Crocodile Blade cannot match it.” He Chuan was equally fond of it.

 

His behaviour was no different from Cang Shi’s, also carrying the firearm with him at all times.

 

In fact, everyone else was the same. Anyone who possessed a firearm carried it with them at all times.

 

“That’s true. It would be wonderful if everyone could have one of these.” Cang Shi began imagining if everyone in the Tribe possessed one.

 

In that case, the Flame Dragon Tribe would become extraordinarily powerful. This would completely eliminate all concerns about other Tribes’ security, and Ferocious Beasts would be even less of a worry.

 

After all, those Ferocious Beasts differed from Humans. They lacked intelligence, making them relatively easier to handle, unlike Humans who schemed.

 

“But making them is quite hard and takes quite long. I believe everyone will have one in due course, though only Warriors will possess them.” He Chuan speculated.

 

This firearm was not an ordinary weapon. Ordinary people would find little use for it.

 

“Even so, it doesn’t matter if they don’t have one. We are the ones protecting the Tribe. We are the ones out on the field. They would not really get any chance to use it.” Cang Shi said, in love with his job to protect the Tribe.

 

He had previously heard Su Bai say ‘with great power comes great responsibility’. He had carefully pondered over this statement and discovered it to be absolutely true. When one had strength, they needed to protect the Tribe. When one got stronger, the responsibility they bore was greater.

 

“Very well, let us start training. The Warrior Trainees need to have their turn later.” He Chuan began operating the firearm.

 

Since the number of firearms was limited, only five or six in total, everyone had to take turns training.

 

Warrior Trainees were also permitted to train with firearms, as nobody knew what unexpected situations might arise. Therefore, everyone needed to train to prevent emergencies.

 

Moreover, the Warrior Trainees’ abilities were inferior to those of Totem Warriors. When the eternal night arrives, they would also face those frenzied Ferocious Beasts.

 

Those Ferocious Beasts would be considerably more formidable than before. Consequently, the Warrior Trainees would be even less capable as opponents, making firearm training essential for them.

 

When the eternal night arrives, due to the limited number of firearms, there might be scenarios where the Warrior Trainees need to use them, while Totem Warriors would use their strength to deal with any that slipped through and protect the Warrior Trainees.

 

*Bang bang bang…*

 

Successive gunshots continuously echoed through the forest, frightening away various wild beasts.

 

Due to the constant gunfire and collisions between bullets and tree trunks, the accumulated snow on withered trees fell in large chunks.

 

However, this did not affect the Warriors’ training in the slightest. On the contrary, these minor incidents made them even more excited.

 

Since regular training lacked difficulty and every bullet hits its target, they devised a different training method: obstacle shooting and long-range shooting.

 

After all, at this point, solely shooting at stationary targets would result in no misses.

 

However, those frenzied Ferocious Beasts moved extremely quickly and would not stand motionless to serve as stationary targets. Therefore, the Warriors needed to increase the training difficulty to ensure their shots would not miss during key moments.

 

After several hours of training, the Totem Warriors handed over the firearms to the Warrior Trainees, as they had other matters to attend to. This leaves the remaining time for Warrior Trainees to train.

 

Cheng Shi, Ai’er, and the others received those firearms with widened eyes, thinking that their turn had finally arrived.

 

Upon reaching the forest and witnessing the Totem Warriors training, they had been eager to try.

 

“I will definitely beat you this time.” Ge’s expression was particularly serious, as yesterday’s training had been less than ideal.

 

“We shall see whether you can truly surpass me.” Ah Zhen grinned, having gained the upper hand in yesterday’s competition.

 

*Bang bang bang…*

 

With successive gunshots, the Warrior Trainees’ training commenced.

 

Their training differed from that of the Totem Warriors, who pursued speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness.

 

The Warrior Trainees primarily pursued accuracy, as their training time was shorter than that of the Totem Warriors, naturally resulting in lower hit rates.

 

This training session was primarily for them to improve their accuracy, to ensure they could properly function during the eternal night.

 

Their chosen method was mobile shooting, requiring other Warriors to tie signs to small wild beasts.

 

These small wild beasts would then be made to run about, allowing the Warrior Trainees to shoot at the moving animals.

 

As the small wild beasts began running, the Warrior Trainees’ fighting spirit was elevated.

 

Nobody was willing to concede defeat. In this training session, everyone wanted to achieve the best results.

 

Each training session for the Warrior Trainees proceeded similarly, with rankings determined each time.

 

Some, being highly competitive, refused to finish last or in middle, all wanting to reach the top of the ranking. Those people naturally trained harder than the rest.

 

Ge was precisely such a person. Having lost to Ah Zhen yesterday, he would work harder today.

 

When the wild beasts had just begun running, he immediately aimed at them but did not fire immediately.

 

Each person had a limited number of bullets and could not use them indefinitely. So, Ge was carefully aiming, looking for an opening.
