Chapter 314. Mature
Hua Qiang was the first to step forward, but instead of a knife, he wielded a crossbow like Hua Jing.
With Hua Chengtian’s continual improvements, the crossbows became increasingly refined and compact, making them easier to carry. Although not everyone could have one, all the team leaders traveling outside were equipped with them.
Hua Qiang pulled out his crossbow and shot the first arrow. The rest followed smoothly, shooting one after another without even blinking.
