Wei Jiangyang and Chen Huadong trembled n the presence of the folding knife. It would have been fine if they were just being robbed. At most, they would have to give up their possessions, and no one would be harmed but from the way the young man was acting, they could tell that he had other intentions for the girls.

The girls in Xiao Xiao’s dorm, except for w.a.n.g Huan, were not bad looking, not to mention, Shen Xixi who was generally acknowledged as the prettiest girl in the public relations department. Xiao Xiao was in the school’s volleyball team and had always maintained a perfect physique. Needless to say, Xu Jin, the legal-loli, was a magnet for perverts.

Normally, neither of them had to worry about their safety in school. But this was the wilderness, the outward-bounds. Even though there were other campers in the area, they were too far from them. Even if they cried for help, there was a good chance no one would be able to get here in time.

The girls were beginning to regret coming out here. They had already done their research and found that there were villages nearby, leading them to presume that it was quite safe. Why were they so unlucky this time?

Wei Jiangyang could feel his forehead growing damp. His girlfriend was behind him – he could not retreat. But being afraid when in such scary situations like this was a normal reaction. As the youth moved towards him, Wei Jiangyang froze, and his throat went dry.

The very next moment, however, something sliced through the darkness.

The youth paused. In front was an arrow with its tip buried deep into the ground, its fletching still quivering. It was a shot at an unG.o.dly speed.

Zhang Heng was standing in front of the tent with his recurve bow. He did not stop after the first shot. Swiftly, he drew the second arrow. Before Wei Jiangyang and the others could cheer for him, the second arrow overshot by ten thousand meters, hitting a small tree far away.

Zhang Heng’s friends were dismayed, thinking to themselves that it was over. They had hoped that the shot would frighten the intruder away. They did not expect Zhang Heng give away the game so quickly.

The young man was also taken aback by the first arrow. The country had strict firearms control, so in the general run of things, bows and crossbows were the most powerful long-range weapons people had access to. He did think there would be a bowman in this group.

But that second shot missed him by at least a few meters.

Was the first one a lucky shot?

The youth subconsciously turned around to see where the last arrow had landed and was immediately alerted because his mates were hiding behind that tree.

“These first two shots are just a warning. If you don’t leave, the third arrow will draw blood,” Zhang Heng said calmly.

The expression on the youth’s face changed. Everyone else was bowled over.

The youth was about 3 – 4 meters away from Wei Jiangyang and Chen Huadong. He was computing in his head if he could grab either one of them as hostages. He had second thoughts, not sure if Zhang Heng would actually do it.

In the end, he chose to put away his knife and raised his hands. “I apologize for interrupting. It looks like my friends and I will have to go elsewhere to make friends.”

He glared at Zhang Heng as he spoke and then slowly backed away until he disappeared between the darkness of the trees.

…

The incident was over, but everyone had lost their appet.i.te. They quickly packed up their things and wanted to leave the place, but there was no taxi in this suburbia. Xiao Xiao was still worried that the strange guy would hara.s.s the other campers, so one of them called the police while the others went around to inform other vacationers.

Shen Xixi opened her mouth to say something but decided to keep it to herself.

After the danger was over, the other girls gathered around Zhang Heng.

Xu Jing stuck out her tongue and said, “That’s impressive, fellow student Zhang. I thought you ran away because you were scared. Turns out Iron Man was summoning his armor.”

Chen Huadong joined the conversation. “Big brother, I must say I’m impressed! The second shot was way off course, yet you could still stand there and threaten him so boldly. Respect, respect.”

“Apparently those degenerates are easily frightened. They saw you holding a bow and off they went running for their lives! But, really, thank you for that! I was so scared I almost died,” continued a very relieved Xiao Xiao.
