Astral Apostle

According to these hunters, this forest is called the Dark Forest and it has a vast area. Frostwood Village is located on the edge of the Dark Forest, and in the outer forest not far from the village, there is a Bonemen lair.

The strange beast was rampant in the wild years. Humans were divided into two branches. A group of people was struggling on whilst at death's door on the ground, and the other group started to dig underground karst cave life in order to avoid the strange beast. This is the Bonemen. The origin of.

Different from humans on the ground, Bonemen live on crypts and burrows. Due to the geographical separation, they are very closed and lack communication, which leads to even the wisdom of the ethnic group. Some can build Underground City and trade with human tribes, while some are still in the stage of devour raw meat and fowl, just like savages.

The nearby Bonemen's lair is the latter. It is savage and backward, like bandits roaring in the forest. There are often groups of Bonemen running around in the forest, sometimes out of the forest to rob passers-by. According to the hunters, Frostwood Village has been trying to get rid of this threatening Bonemen lair. However, there is a shortage of manpower and many petitions to the lord have failed.

'This group of Bonemen, most likely come from the nearby Bonemen lair...'

Zhou Jing watched the surrounding enemies vigilantly.

Well, those hunters said that Bonemen is weak. If it is singled out, they can clean up the opponent with no difficulty... But Bonemen usually act in groups and are good at jungle stealth, which is the forest. The fatal danger in it.

Just as Zhou Jing's thoughts were turning, the group of Bonemen slowly approached with the help of trees, and the number of people displayed quickly increased from more than a dozen to nearly fifty, faintly enclosing the camp. , The two sides stalemate confrontation.

"There are a lot of people, it feels like it’s going to be cold... Stop it, I haven’t even figured out the situation in this world yet."

See this group of Bonemen begin to stir , As if to pounce at any time, Zhou Jing's heart beats fiercely.

I am a newcomer to the whiteboard, but I don’t have the ability to deal with this situation...

This wave, this wave is too much fortunate.

I hope there is no error in the information given by the panel, and the death of Astral Apostle will not affect the main body.

But waiting to die is impossible... Zhou Jing's eyes condensed slightly, she clenched her dagger, and was always ready to do it.

Although the spirit is highly guarded, there is no meaning to flinch from panic. Instead, the thinking moves faster and the mind becomes clearer.

As a good citizen of Interstellar Era, living in a society under the rule of law where personal safety is guaranteed, and has never faced such a life-threatening situation directly, Zhou Jing originally felt nervous or timid, but she really encountered it. I realized that I didn't seem to have these emotions.

Even vaguely excited about the bloody battle that might break out next, and...can't wait?

It’s strange, what kind of attitude I am, I’m more excited than looking at beautiful women...

Zhou Jing was secretly surprised.

At this moment, Baron suddenly angrily snorted, the sound is like muffled thunder, buzzing.

I saw Baron take two steps forward, holding the giant axe with the long handle that never left his body with his backhand, and suddenly made a blank wave.

Huo——

The powerful force drove giant axe, sweeping out a gust of wind, like a shock wave.

The fallen leaves all over the ground were lifted up in an instant, one after another.

The wind pressure was strong, and the nearest few Bonemen, the skin was shaken for a while, and he took a step back in fear.

"get lost!"

Baron exhales and screams like a giant bear.

The group of Bonemen became agitated, as if they were shocked by the great power displayed by Baron, hesitated for a while, and then slowly retreated into the dark woods, disappearing into the range of the fire and light.

The dense rustling gradually faded away, and the group of Bonemen quickly withdrew, just as quietly as when they approached sneakily.

"Okay, it's safe for the time being, they It shouldn't be here again."

Baron's face was expressionless, he put the giant axe on his back again, and the hunters also sighed in relief , His tight body slackened, and the murderous atmosphere dissipated.

Zhou Jing blinked, a little dazed.

This, this ran away?

Everything is here, let's drop an arrow anyway!

I just got a little blood boiled right now, you left suddenly, making me unable to get up...

It seems that Zhou Jing’s surprise was noticed, Griff patted his shoulder and said :

"Bonemen need to preserve their strength to survive in the forest, so they are always bullying and fearful of hardships. They are very cunning. Once they feel that the enemy is too strong, they will avoid fighting.

Moreover, this lair’s Bonemen knows about the existence of Frostwood Village. We hunters have met them many times in the woods. He knows our battle strength. As long as we have enough numbers, they dare not really do it. Unless someone is alone, they will swarm them."

"so that's how it is... Then why did you suggest that one or two people send me out of the forest?" Zhou Jing suddenly nodded, and suddenly thought of this.

"You can never die...Fortunately, Captain Baron decides to take you, then you don't have to try one's luck."

Griff winked, obviously He said that on purpose at the time.

While the two were chatting, Baron came over and looked at Zhou Jing with slight surprises, and said:

"You were the first to find Bonemen?"

"Yes, I vaguely noticed something is approaching, so I was cautious, so I called everyone up."

Zhou Jing answered deliberately.

He has not forgotten this Astral Apostle's "Code of Action", as much as possible to behave as close to this personality as possible.

"You did a great job. The forest is the home of Bonemen. They are very good at hiding in the shadows and sneak attacks. Everyone is an old hunter, but you found out earlier than us and didn’t let them touch it quietly. Near...In any case, this proves that your observation skills are very good."

Baron praised nodded and let out a rough laugh.

"Your compliment really flattered me. If you were on the vigil, they would have been spotted by you. After all, you are a strange beast hunter who has officially taken xenoblood potion, and your senses are much sharper than me. ."

Zhou Jing knows well that the face doesn't change flattery. She raised her hand.

He doesn’t usually say such compliments, but now he’s in a world where no one knows him and he’s wearing a "Will Wood" vest, he feels that his face seems to have increased with it. Thick, just open your mouth.

As soon as the voice fell, many hunters looked strange, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.

"Cough, it's really because I'm sleeping..."

Baron coughed to hide his embarrassment.

He is not as embarrassed to explain to outsiders that his perception is actually not as good as a few old hunters who are ordinary persons.

The strange beast extracted by xenoblood potion is different, and the strengthening direction is different. If the quality of the medicine is average, then the weakness of the strange beast may also be inherited by the xenoblood warrior.

Baron's xenoblood potion greatly strengthened his strength, endurance, and defensive power, but it also brought a side effect, that is, the decline of perception, especially in the woods at night, he was almost a little deaf and blind. .

His position in the hunter squad is just a heavy warrior facing a strange beast.

Generally, it is Dean who is in charge of the reconnaissance position... Obviously, Dean's observation power seems to be inferior to that of the strange man Will Wood who was picked up halfway, and he discovered Bonemen later.

The corner of Dean's eyes twitched, and he felt a bit embarrassed that his job was being compared to an outsider.

But he didn't say anything. Although Zhou Jing still thought Zhou Jing was suspicious, he also knew that someone prevented a sneak attack, which was a good thing for squad. He had no other thoughts.

At this time, Baron patted Zhou Jing’s arm, said with a smile:

"You are a keen perception, very suitable to be a scout. If you are willing to stay in Frostwood Village, We welcome talents like you to join the Hunter team, and your body is very strong, a little training will have a good battle strength... Well, but it’s too early to say this, we will talk about it when we get out of the forest."

Will you invite me an unknown stranger? Zhou Jing was a little surprised.

But after another thought, he understands a bit.

It may be that the living environment of this world is difficult, so human beings are used to group and help each other. In contrast, it is easier to trust their compatriots, but it is better than Interstellar Era. Much simpler.

Zhou Jing rolled his eyes and hit the snake with the stick: "In this case, can you teach me some knowledge of survival in the wild or simple fighting skills on the road?"

Baron For a moment.

Seeing this, Zhou Jing didn’t wait for him to answer, and quickly added:

"I don’t know how to survive in the wild, so I want to take advantage of the gap in the road and try my best to learn. You can protect yourself a little bit more in the forest. And if you encounter any accident, you may not care about me, you don’t need a burden."

"Uh..."

Baron Without speaking, he wiped his bald head.

Griff sensed Baron’s embarrassment, thought about it, and opened the mouth and said at the right time: "It’s okay, I just look at him. I can’t spend much energy."

"All right. , I'll leave it to you."

Baron is accustomed to Lidazhuanfei, so he didn't want to entangle this question, so he agreed.

After all, Zhou Jing just helped, and she directly refused to be a little unkind. She has no sense of security in the forest. For the sake of self-protection, it is quite normal.

Moreover, teaching him a little simple field knowledge is better than ignorant and making mistakes and causing unnecessary trouble.

As for learning combat skills, it will become dangerous...It’s not that Baron looks down on people, but none of the hunters present has mastered the use of bows, hunting knives, daggers, short whips and other weapons after years of training. Possess good combat skills.

In just a few days, I still have to hurry, can I get a chance?

It is good to be able to master the four grips of the dagger.

After talking for a few words, everyone did not dare to delay any longer, and divided the work to demolish the camp. Although the Bonemen retreated, the location of their camp was exposed, and everyone unanimously decided to rush overnight.

……

Some firelights are floating in the forest.

Everyone walked quietly in the forest at night, because they were worried that the torch would be too bright and eye-catching, the entire group used simple candles made of animal fats and lit them with faint candlelight.

Zhou Jing and Griff landed at the back of the team, talking in a low voice.

"By the way, I forgot to return this thing to you."

Zhou Jing took out the dagger and handed it to Griff.

Griff shook his head: "No, you take it. Anyway, I have to teach you how to use it."

"Okay." Zhou Jing nodded, but didn't take the dagger back, and said shamelessly. : "Well... now tell me how to fight with a dagger?"

"Now?"

Griff was a little confused.

Still on the road at night, you are too anxious, my wife and I are not as active as you in sleeping.

"Early practice and early meeting, efficiency is life, maybe the more you learn is the distance between life and death."

"What you said makes sense."

Griff thought about it, but didn't refuse. Anyway, while rushing to give pointers, it won't delay anything, and it can relieve boredom.

He talked about skills in a low voice and pointed at him from time to time. Although his vision was blurred at night, Zhou Jing still carefully noted Griff's instructions.

Most of the main world uses firearms. Cold weapons are already behind, and only some superpower users use them. But in this world, there are no firearms. Cold weapons are the only way to protect yourself. They can only be used for what, Zhou Jing can think clearly, and naturally will not be picky or disgusted.

In addition, although the main world is well-developed and has summarized many cold weapon skills, this kind of information is rarely checked by ordinary people, and if you want to learn, you should also find teachers for advice. If you don’t choose soldiers, police, etc. Special profession, it is difficult for ordinary persons to obtain professional training, at most the level of hobby persons.

The humans in this world still rely on cold weapons to defend their races. They are rich in actual combat. Even without a scientific training system, their skills should be unique.

Zhou Jing thinks clearly, she is not arrogant because she has the knowledge of Interstellar Era, she has a strong spirit, and carefully follows the guidance.

At the same time, information emerged on the panel.

[Learning [Weapon Master-Dagger]]

[Skill Level: Lv0-(Not Getting Started)]

[Can consume astral points, open repair Learning Acceleration Function]

[Calculating [Weapon Master-Dagger] Rareness, Mastery Degree, Template Related aptitude...Completed Calculation]

[Minimum Cost of Learning Acceleration: 25 astral points ]

[Reminder: Studying the acceleration function will greatly increase the rate of promotion of this ability. The effect of the increase and the minimum cost are all affected by the relevant aptitude. When the ability is upgraded, the acceleration function ends and can be turned on again by consuming astral points]

Zhou Jing is happy.

When he explored the panel, he knew some usages of astral points, such as adjusting various values ​​of the template when pinching people.

But when the Astral Apostle is actually generated, the role of astral points is changed. It is not possible to directly change the template parameters like a human being. Instead, it accelerates the growth and enhances the growth of the body cultivator skills. speed.

According to factors such as ability level, rarity, formidable power, etc., the minimum activation fee for learning acceleration function is different, but there is no upper limit. The more astral points consumed, the stronger the acceleration effect.

However, no matter how many astral points are consumed, the practice acceleration will only take effect before the next level 1. Once the skill is upgraded, the acceleration will end and need to be renewed

——equivalent to skill For each level, the cost of learning the acceleration function is calculated separately. It's just that you reach the lower Level 1 mastery of the skill faster, and it doesn't take effect continuously.

The language skills acquired before, [Terra Imperial Chinese·Northern Dialect Edition] actually also has a practice acceleration function, but the minimum activation fee is 50 astral points. Zhou Jing does not have many points in his hand, so it is still uncertain. It is difficult to obtain astral points, so there is no investment.

After all, improving the level of language skills is of limited help to the current situation. He even wants some ability to help self-protection to test this function.

[25astral points have been consumed]

[[Weapon Master-Dagger] has the practice acceleration function enabled]

Zhou Jing immediately refreshed, like a spring Flowing through hundreds of limbs, it is cool, refreshing, and full of vitality.

Originally, because of the exhaustion of rushing on this day, his attention has been a bit distracted. At this moment, he suddenly became highly concentrated, as if he had entered a state of flow.

All the interference around is like a screen window, like a noisy background sound reduces the volume, only Griff’s voice explaining the use of daggers is clearer, as if it can pass the ears and become unforgettable. It can be easily understood.

My comprehension and learning ability seem to have improved several steps

But the most important thing is the physical change.

He was gesticulating the dagger awkwardly, but his unfamiliar hand is quickly fading, and his body is quickly getting acquainted with this weapon.

Originally, muscular habits need years of exercise to form. At this time, this process is condensed. In a short period of time, his body is rapidly generating muscle memory of using a dagger.

"This feeling...whispering."

Zhou Jing was so refreshed that she got goose bumps all over her body.

I don’t know what words to use to describe this feeling, I can only say...comfortable, so comfortable!

It's like having constipation for many days, and the excitement of being dredged suddenly!

For the first time in his life, Zhou Jing realized the refreshment of learning God, and couldn't stop it.
