Chapter 022: The Sharpshooter

The appearance of this mist made Wang Bo feel that this world might not be as simple as he had imagined.

When he released his perception, he found that in this sea area, there was vaguely an extremely powerful force lingering. The force was so strong that even Wang Bo was startled.

To be honest, Wang Bo had never seen such a powerful force before.

This force far exceeded Wang Bo's understanding, and even the current Wang Bo had to concede defeat.

Wang Bo even had a feeling that this was simply not a power that humans could possess.

It was likely a power that only gods possessed.

After realizing this, Wang Bo instinctively wanted to use teleportation to leave this place, because he really didn't want to have any conflict with gods.

But soon Wang Bo calmed down, because he found that although this force was powerful, it was not aggressive.

On the contrary, this force was very stable.

Moreover, Wang Bo vaguely sensed a somewhat familiar aura within this force, so he did not leave. Instead, with some curiosity, he wanted to find out what was going on.

He really wanted to know what this familiar aura was all about.

So he hid among the crowd, rowing a wooden boat, slowly advancing.

Because of the mist, everyone lost their bearings. Several nearby small boats began to converge and head in one direction. The crowd pushed forward, afraid of being separated from their companions.

Just then, a naval soldier suddenly shouted, "I found it, I found it, I see the wreckage of the plane."

Everyone was overjoyed and rowed their small boats forward.

However, at that moment, an incredible scene occurred.

As everyone continued forward, they passed through a barely perceptible membrane, and suddenly the view opened up. The thick mist dissipated, and the clear blue sky reappeared before them.

What was even more unbelievable was that a huge island had materialized out of thin air in front of them.

When they had searched the nearby waters earlier, they hadn't seen any island.

But now, the island appeared blatantly before them.

While everyone was puzzled and questioning, Wang Bo suddenly understood what world he had come to.

He had most likely come to the DC world.

And this island, if nothing unexpected, was the homeland of Wonder Woman Diana—Themyscira!

Themyscira, also known as Paradise Island, was created by Zeus, the king of the Olympian gods. The island is protected by a magical force field that prevents human high-tech equipment from detecting its existence, thereby protecting the Amazon inhabitants.

Clearly, the force Wang Bo had felt earlier was the barrier Zeus set up to protect Themyscira.

No wonder Wang Bo found that powerful force familiar, because in the previous world, he had fought Diana several times.

And Diana is Zeus's daughter; she inherited his power.

So it was natural for Wang Bo to feel familiar with Zeus's power.

Wang Bo hadn't expected that just after parting with Diana, he would come to the DC world and meet Diana again. This surprised Wang Bo, and he felt that he and Diana had quite a connection.

But others didn't think so. Suddenly arriving in a strange place, everyone instinctively heightened their alertness, raised their weapons, and scanned the surroundings.

After confirming there was no danger nearby, the naval soldiers fixed their eyes on the island ahead.

In their view, this place was the most suspicious.

Swish!

At that moment, an arrow flew from beyond the sky, piercing the neck of a naval soldier.

The soldier stared in shock at the arrow that had appeared on his body. His mouth opened as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he spat out a mouthful of blood, closed his mouth reluctantly, shut his eyes, and lost his life.

The sudden death brought panic to the people on this wooden boat.

People on other boats also started shouting loudly.

Everyone followed the direction from which the arrow had come, searched several times, and finally found the archer on the cliff of the small island ahead. It was a blonde woman in armor.

But the armor only covered the woman's vital parts, such as the heart and the knees.

As for the rest, large areas were exposed to the air.

To be honest, how should one describe this outfit... rather provocative?

Although Wang Bo had seen it on TV or in comics, seeing the Amazons' attire in person still surprised him a bit.

The Greek gods really knew how to have fun.

But thinking that Themyscira had only women and no men, and that what they wore was their own business, Wang Bo suppressed his rather dirty thoughts.

Besides that, what surprised Wang Bo even more was the strength of the Amazons.

That woman was probably still a few hundred meters away from the people on the boat, yet she could shoot an arrow through a naval soldier's throat with one shot, killing an intruder.

Such long-distance shooting was not something an ordinary person could do.

Wang Bo had been to several ancient worlds and knew something about bows and arrows. For example, the range of a medieval longbow was estimated to be about 160 to 220 meters. Modern replicas of longbows firing light arrows could reach 320 meters, and heavy arrows could reach 250 meters... Wang Bo knew these facts.

But at a distance of two to three hundred meters, the penetrating power of an arrow was already very weak.

There is an ancient saying: "Its momentum cannot pierce thin silk," referring to the end of a strong crossbow bolt.

For an ordinary bow, the range is only about 70 meters.

Shooting an arrow from hundreds of meters away and piercing a human throat was not something an ordinary person could do. This showed that the strength of the Amazons of Themyscira exceeded Wang Bo's expectations.

Besides the distance, what was even more astonishing was the accuracy.

Hundreds of meters away, piercing the throat.

Such accuracy was remarkable in many worlds. Calling it a sharpshooter was by no means an exaggeration; many historical sharpshooters could not achieve this.

However, it was precisely this arrow that prompted the people around Wang Bo to counterattack.

After spotting the enemy, they raised their weapons, aimed at the enemy, gently pulled the triggers, and bullets flew out of the barrels, cutting through the air, flying toward the opponent's body.

Most of the bullets missed, but one bullet flew toward the blonde woman's abdomen.

Seeing this, Wang Bo knew he had to act.

If the German naval soldiers killed Diana's companion here, Wang Bo would be too embarrassed to explain to Diana.

So he instantly flew out, caught up with the bullet, and a second before it hit the blonde woman's abdomen, appeared beside her, extended two fingers, and caught the bullet.
