The crossbow arrow flew unabated, piercing straight through the Dogman Scout's neck.
A single arrow to the throat.
A look of shock appeared on the Dogman Scout's face before its body went limp and it collapsed to the ground.
It all happened so suddenly that the Dogman Miners and the supervising Warriors in the rear failed to react.
Fang Zhen was perfectly calm, his mind clear of all distractions. He coolly flipped the lever on the Dragon Gall Crossbow to switch from arrows to pellets, then grabbed the cocking lever and yanked it down hard.
With a 'CLICK!', the string pulled taut. Fang Zhen returned the lever to its position, completing the reload. He then aimed at the nearest Dogman Miner through the optical sight.
He didn't target the Dogman Warriors, choosing instead the unarmored and more vulnerable miners.
Once he had his target, Fang Zhen pulled the trigger.
