Chapter 125 The Bow of True Artemis
Xin Sheng would not believe in these so-called Olympian gods in the Odyssey world because he knew the true identities of these "gods".
Once you have encountered such bizarre things through time, even the most determined materialist will inevitably be shaken.
Xin Sheng did not believe in any sect during his lifetime, but he was also not a fanatical believer of the Scientific Theology.
Even the science that many people regard as truth still has many things that are difficult to explain in modern times.
Xin Sheng is neutral about whether the gods exist. He will not rashly believe in the existence of God before seeing them with his own eyes.
To take a step back, even if you really see the god, Xin Sheng will only maintain respect for the strong and will not worship him like a believer.
While the deer was running lightly, Xin Sheng sorted out his mood and prepared to meet the "hunting goddess".
"This is……"
The Keluni Deer brought Xin Sheng to a huge metal door, the style of which was very similar to the forging gate in Andros Island.
When the Keluni deer approached, the door automatically opened to both sides, and the Keluni deer also bent its four hooves and knelt down.
Xin Sheng knew how to leave the big white deer, and the Keluni deer who was liberated immediately turned around and left, quickly sank into the woods and disappeared.
"Snooze~exha~"
After taking a deep breath, Xin Sheng stepped firmly into the door.
As the door closed again, the lighting devices in the Yishu ruins lit up one after another.
Under the erosion of time, most of the objects in the remains can no longer be seen, and only the golden altar in the deepest remains in its complete shape.
When Xin Sheng walked carefully to the altar, the existence who called Xin Sheng to come finally appeared.
The picture similar to the holographic projection is rapidly condensing and forming. A tall woman over 2 meters tall and coolly dressed appeared in front of Xin Sheng.
The woman wore a crown made of olive branches and leaves on her head, and her body was decorated very simple, with an illusory longbow projected on her back.
The style of this bow is almost exactly the same as the Artemis bow in Xin Sheng's hand, but the materials of the two are very different.
"Human, congratulations on completing my trial."
The original body of the projection of this Ishuren is Artemis. Since she appears in the form of projection, it means that the real Artemis has long died in the disaster that has lasted tens of thousands of years.
The technological level of Yishu civilization is very developed, and the holographic projections they produce even have certain intelligent interaction capabilities.
Yishu is generally over 2 meters tall, and Artemis has to lower his head to face Xin Sheng, who is only 1.75 meters tall.
"Since you can successfully reach the trial, no matter where you come from or whether you have Yishu's bloodline, I will give you the reward you deserve."
Artemis has a beautiful appearance, but her temperament is very cold, and she does not seem to have the emotional fluctuations that smart creatures should have.
...Of course, she may also be the kind of person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
"Come up and put the hunting bow that my believers gave you on the altar."
Xin Sheng was not interested in communicating with a stupid holographic projection. He followed Artemis's guidance and placed the Artemis bow given by Daphne on the altar platform.
Artemis took off the golden hunting bow behind him, rubbed his hands gently, and gradually rubbed it into golden powder all over the sky.
At the same time, energy began to gather in the altar, wrapping the projected gold powder on the surface of Artemis's bow.
The gushing energy made Xin Sheng subconsciously take two steps back.
The wood-sting hunting bow with ordinary material is rapidly sublimating, and from the bow arm to the bow strings are filled with golden energy drawn from the altar.
After 5 minutes, Artemis's Bow completed its evolution.
The original wooden bow body turned into a shining metal material, and even the bow strings flashed with a faint golden light.
Artemis' projection seems to consume a lot of energy due to this process, and the edges of the projection become increasingly blurred.
"This is the real reward after the hunting trial is completed. Beast Slayer, hold my hunting bow tightly and continue your hunting journey."
"Swish~"
As Artemis projection dissipated, the power that this temple that had been preserved for tens of thousands of years seemed to be exhausted, and all the lighting in the secret room was extinguished, and only a faint light could be seen from the completely changed golden hunting bow.
Retrieving Artemis's bow, Xin Sheng tried to pull the light golden bowstring.
"It's really getting heavier again."
With Xin Sheng's current strength, he could only pull the brand new Artemis bow to half a string with all his strength.
After all, this is the hunting bow that the Yishu people used, and their physical conditions are indeed much better than those of humans.
System: "Does the host absorb the Artemis Bow from Eden? "
"no."
...
When Xin Sheng returned to the village with the newly renovated Artemis bow, the hunters led by Daphne could no longer see any hostility.
Whether hostile or friendly, it will be troublesome to deal with devout believers of gods.
Xin Sheng tried to persuade Daphne and others to let him leave. With more than 200 hunters farewells over enthusiastically, Xin Sheng and Natiya rode on Pegas and quickly fled.
"Huh~ Finally there was no danger, and the harvest was good."
While Xin Sheng was controlling Pegas to advance, Natiya looked at the golden hunting bow hanging beside Pegas in curiosity.
"Is this an ancient artifact? What special abilities does it have?"
Xin Sheng shook his head helplessly: "I don't know either, I haven't tried it after getting it."
‘System, identify it.’
Artemis's Bow
Passive skill: Moonlight arrow, can shoot energy arrow, energy provided by the holder automatically generated
Active skill: No beasts are hunted. When the target is a beast, it can shoot tracking arrows that must hit the key points.
‘Ah~’
Passive skills can shoot energy arrows by consuming physical strength, which can play an important role in special circumstances such as exhaustion of arrows and loss of quiver.
As for active skills...
‘It’s really a “hunting” bow.’
It's not that this skill is useless.
The animals that are not hunted without animals include a very broad concept.
Theoretically, any bird, beast, insect, and fish that exist in the world can trigger the effect of hunting without animals.
Of course, it also includes monsters.
Xin Sheng was not sure whether he would encounter powerful monsters in the future. In terms of generality alone, the active skill of Artemis's bow disappointed Xin Sheng a little.
‘Forget it, at least it’s better than nothing.’
...
After finishing his trip to Chios Island, Xin Sheng only had the last two stops left to go.
One is Sisvi Island located on the sea south of Fokis, where the Cyclops are waiting for Xin Sheng's "visit".
The second is the ruins of Atlantis located underground in Tyra. After obtaining the Golden Apple of Eden owned by the Cyclops, Xin Sheng went to Tyra to meet Pythagoras.
During the sea voyage, Xin Sheng inadvertently discovered that something was wrong with Natiya's condition.
This girl used to be careless, but during this period, she occasionally showed a deep look that was inconsistent with her personality.
"Natya, are you okay?"
Waking up from Xin Sheng's contemplation, Natiya rarely showed a gentle smile.
"I'm fine, I'm just thinking about something."
Xin Sheng always felt something was wrong, but he could not tell the details.
"If you have anything you can't figure it out, please ask me if you want to ask me. I promised Cassandra would take good care of you."
Natiya smiled and closed her hair, which was blown by the sea breeze, and the mature woman's charm she showed in an instant made Xin Sheng a little stunned.
"Well, thank you, I will."
