Chapter 86: Did I Max Out the Wrong Skill Tree?
Luo Ji’s surprisingly accurate shot caused a gasp of astonishment among the tribe members.
However, they were not the only ones, Luo Ji himself was also surprised.
He had no idea that his intuitive shot could directly blind a hyena’s eye.
There must have been a lot of luck involved, and at the same time…
[System notification: Congratulations to player ‘Luo Ji’ for successfully comprehending the skill ‘Precise Shot.’]
“Uh, did I max out the wrong skill tree?”
Fortunately, there would be opportunities to reset skills later.
Although this seemingly misdirected skill tree gave him a headache, he did not dwell on it for too long.
When faced with the unknown, living beings instinctively feel fear.
The wails from their companion, whose eyeball had been shot out, continuously amplified the fear in the hyena pack’s hearts, causing them to retreat.
However, after enduring these ancient ruffians for so long, Luo Ji, having gained the upper hand, would not let them off so easily.
He immediately tossed the longbow in his hand to an archer beside him.
“Luo Yong, you lead a team of warriors to stay at the training camp, responsible for supporting and also watching out for any other barbarian tribes that might appear.”
As he spoke, Luo Ji turned to Black Jackal.
“Black Jackal, you lead a team of warriors to protect the five archers’ safety.”
“Follow their tracks!”
“Such good live targets would be a waste not to use.”
“But remember to bring the corpses back, their hides are good for making leather armor.”
“Also, try to recover the arrows you shoot since they are consumables…”
At this point, Luo Ji’s tone suddenly shifted, with a hint of inexplicable coldness.
“From now on, I only want to see them in specimen and fossil museums.”
While training the archer team, Luo Ji unreservedly displayed his willful and ruthless side, issuing a slaughter order against the hyena pack that had provoked him!
If he did not teach them a lesson, these hyenas would truly think he was part of an animal protection association.
The matters here were left to Zhao Pan and the others.
On his way back to the tribal camp, Luo Ji did not forget to check the skill he had unexpectedly comprehended after seemingly going down the wrong skill tree.
[Precise Shot (Active): After the skill is activated, the hit rate of the next ranged attack increases by 60% (This skill is affected by ‘Spirit’)]
After reading the concise skill description, Luo Ji, who was always good at finding the key points, immediately raised an eyebrow.
Pay attention!
The skill description stated “next ranged attack!”
It did not seem to specify a ranged weapon like a bow and arrow.
So, could it be understood that any ranged weapon or any ranged attack method in his hands could benefit from the effect of ‘Precise Shot?’
If so, then this skill effect seemed pretty good!
To confirm this, Luo Ji decided to test it.
He went directly to the open area outside the camp, which was originally used for testing bows and arrows.
He picked up a stone from the ground.
If all ranged attacks counted, then throwing a stone should also be considered a ranged attack, right?
Weighing the stone in his hand, Luo Ji’s gaze swept around, finally focusing on a large tree about twenty meters away.
Hitting a large tree from only twenty meters away was not too difficult.
This would make it hard to test the skill’s effect.
Therefore, Luo Ji decided to add a bit of difficulty for himself.
He wanted to aim for a fist-sized tree hole on the main trunk of the large tree and throw the stone in his hand into that tree hole.
He briefly adjusted his breathing and silently chanted ‘Precise Shot.’
A slightly peculiar sensation immediately spread throughout his body, difficult to describe.
The hand holding the stone swung naturally.
The moment the small stone left his hand, before he could even react, a hollow sound reached his ears, the small stone had already flown precisely into the tree hole!
Luo Ji raised an eyebrow.
This skill effect was more powerful than he had anticipated.
Of course, a single instance could also be luck.
To prove that his last shot was not luck, Luo Ji picked up another stone and immediately threw it again without pause.
This time, Luo Ji watched closely, but unexpectedly missed.
The small stone flew quickly towards the tree hole but hit the edge of the hole and bounced away.
This miss did not discourage Luo Ji.
The shot earlier was truly very close to flying into the tree hole, and he himself definitely did not have that kind of accuracy.
This indicated that the ‘Precise Shot’ skill was effective, his hit rate had increased.
However, a 60% increase in hit rate was not enough to make him hit every time.
Luo Ji did not pick up a third stone.
He wanted to try with a sling next.
The accuracy of a sling was very difficult to master.
Also, he had only used it once when he first made it.
Simply put, he was terrible at using a sling.
Still aiming at the tree hole, Luo Ji placed a stone projectile in the sling and began to spin it rapidly.
Without much thought, while activating the ‘Precise Shot’ skill, he directly acted on instinct.
The speeding stone projectile hit the main trunk of the large tree with a ‘bang.’
Perhaps due to the size of the stone projectile, it did not fly into the tree hole but bounced off.
However, without a doubt, he hit it!
His eyes clearly saw the stone projectile hit the tree hole!
With greatly increased confidence, Luo Ji decisively placed another stone projectile in the sling, intending to try again.
However, just as he silently chanted ‘Precise Shot’ and was about to activate the skill, an unexpected situation occurred.
His entire body suddenly swayed.
He lost his grip, and both the sling and the stone projectile flew out together, with an accuracy that was naturally off by miles.
But at this moment, Luo Ji had no time to worry about that.
His body staggered, and he subconsciously raised a hand to support his forehead, his face slightly pale.
The moment he activated the skill just now, he only felt a sudden, needle-like stinging pain in his entire brain, causing him a splitting headache and directly making him lose the ability to think.
“W-what’s going on?”
Ignoring the mess on the ground, Luo Ji sat down right where he was, breathing heavily.
He finally caught his breath, but his complexion was still not good.
“Could it be a skill limitation?”
“The skill description seemed to mention that this skill is affected by ‘Spirit.’”
“Is it because I used it several times in a row, so my spirit is overdrawn?”
This was truly the first time he had encountered such a thing.
After all, among his previous two skills, ‘Weakness Pursuit’ was a passive skill and did not require him to actively trigger it.
He had tested the effect of ‘Inspire Morale,’ but he had only used it twice in a row.
After realizing that repeated use of the skill did not stack its effects, he stopped doing so.
As a result, by some strange coincidence, he had never figured out the limitations of using skills.
This time, he had learned his lesson the hard way.
