Volume 4: The Undead Chapter 174 Long-range Sniping

Looking at the cannon without a matchlock in Atachi's hand, Ogata couldn't help but murmur:

"Flintlock...?"

The iron cannon in Ating's hand is undoubtedly a flintlock rifle.

But it was shorter than the flintlock rifle that Ogata had in mind, and the style was slightly different.

"Hmm?" Seeing that Ogata actually recognized the cannon in her hand, A-Machi's face showed surprise, "You actually know about flintlock rifles? Do you also understand Dutch studies?"

"I know a little bit."

"I'm becoming more and more interested in you. Well, let's talk about this topic later. Let's get rid of the archer first."

Ating put away the surprise on his face, turned his head with a serious expression, and poked his head out from behind the tree trunk to observe the movements outside.

"Yi Shi. Now the archer is in the dark, and we are in the light. Moreover, the archer is quite cunning and knows how to constantly change his position."

"If we chase him and fight him, it will not only be inefficient, but also very passive."

"To deal with an enemy that can attack from a long distance, you have to respond with a long-range attack."

"So - I'll be the bait and you do the shooting. Is that your plan?" Ogata asked back.

"That's right. Sorry to trouble you for a while."

"How good are your shooting skills?" Ogata cast a suspicious look at Atachi, "I've never heard of a ninja using a teppo..."

"Then you have not only heard of it, but also seen it. As for my shooting skills..."

A-Ming puffed out her towering chest, a look of pride appearing on her face.

"My close combat ability may not be that great, but when it comes to shooting skills, I think there are not many people in the world who can beat me."

"... Never mind." Ogata sighed, "I'll trust you for once. When can you start shooting?"

"Any time."

"Then I'll get on now."

After saying that, Ogata flashed out from behind the bushes where he was hiding and ran outside.

In order to make it easier for the archer to shoot, Ogata rushed to an open place.

…

"The rat finally got out..."

A middle-aged man hiding behind the trunk of a big tree licked his lips excitedly when he saw Ogata rush out from the bushes where he was hiding.

Looking at Ogata rushing straight towards the open area, the middle-aged man just thought that Ogata wanted to escape from here quickly.

"I won't let my prey escape ."

The middle-aged man muttered this as he put the arrow on the string with skillful techniques.

The middle-aged man felt the current wind direction and wind strength, estimated where Ogata would run to, and then - without any hesitation, he released the bowstring.

…

Ogata heard the unique sound of an arrow cutting through the air.

His body rolled to the side as if reacting instinctively, avoiding the arrow.

Seeing that his arrow was dodged again, the middle-aged man showed a look of frustration on his face.

But he did not draw the bow again and shoot at Ogata again.

Instead, he quickly put away the bow in his hand, prepared to leave the place quickly and move to other advantageous shooting points.

After shooting an arrow, regardless of whether it hits the target or not, one must move quickly - this is the most valuable experience summed up by this middle-aged man after working as a killer for so many years.

However, just as the middle-aged man put away the bow in his hand and had no time to stand up, a loud noise that made his scalp tingle suddenly sounded:

Bang!

The middle-aged man had just heard the loud noise and had no time to react to the sudden noise when a hot bullet hit his head, entering from the forehead and then exiting from the back of his head.

The strange liquid mixed with blood and brain matter was immediately scattered all over the ground...

The middle-aged man died on the spot before he could even utter a scream.

…

Still hiding behind the trunk of the big tree, Ating is now sitting on the ground.

Spread your legs and bend your knees, place your arms on your knees, hold the cannon in your right hand, and place the cannon above your left arm.

His left hand held the wrist of his right hand, while his right hand grasped the handle of the cannon. Because he had just finished shooting, the index finger of his right hand was still on the trigger.

Atachi let out a long breath, then slowly released his shooting stance.

"Yi Shi! The enemy has been eliminated!"

…

A-machi and Ogata walked towards the body of the archer, the middle-aged man, one after the other.

Seeing the archer's corpse, Ating let out a soft "ah".

"I recognize this guy."

Ating said softly.

"This guy's name is Feng Juro, and he's also a famous murderer."

"He was originally a skilled archer in the army."

"But because he was a pervert who loved killing people, he defected from the army and became a killer who made a living by taking people's lives."

"Even he was captured and brought to this island..."

At this point, A-Ming chuckled a few times.

"I didn't expect that we would meet this lunatic who has no interest in pardons but is extremely interested in killing people so soon..."

After saying that, Atachi turned his head and looked at Ogata.

"This guy was killed by my cannon, so all the supplies on him belong to me - you should have no objection, right?"

"No problem." Ogata shrugged. "Anyway, I have enough food now, and this guy only has a bow and arrow, no knife. So I am not interested in him."

"Then I'll be welcome."

A-Ming squatted beside the middle-aged man and began to search for useful supplies on his body.

While Atachi was searching for supplies on the body of the killer named Fujuro, Ogata looked at Fujuro's body with complicated eyes, and then looked at the position where Atachi had just shot.

"...You can actually use a cannon to shoot accurately at such a long distance..." Ogata exclaimed sincerely.

“Hehe.”

A smug look appeared on Ating's face.

"Didn't I tell you? When it comes to shooting ability, there aren't many people in the world who can beat me."

After saying that, A-Machi turned around and gave Ogata a sly smile.

"Don't underestimate the female kunoichi."

…

Feng Juro had no valuable supplies on him.

Atachi searched everywhere but only found Fujuro's bag of rice balls - this was the only valuable thing on Fujuro.

After accepting Fujuro's rice ball without hesitation, A-machi asked Ogata:

"Can you use a bow and arrow?"

"No. What about you?"
