Astral Apostle

Shuangmu Village is not big, and the two soon came to the longhouse in the center of the village and met the village chief of Shuangmu Village.

The village chief is a middle-aged and elderly person with white temples and wrinkles on his face. His hands are full of calluses left by using farm implements all year round.

On behalf of Zhou Jing, Griff made his intentions clear, and the village chief agreed on the spot without saying a word.

"Will's matter, I heard from Baron and Griff. Your brother is a heroic man who is kind to our village... If all the hunters die, the village will lose its protection."

Opposite the table, the village chief rubbed the back of his hand with emotion.

"How many hunters are there in the village now?" Zhou Jing asked calmly.

Hearing this, Griff interjected to explain:

"There are only five left. You have already met me and the other two hunters. Captain Baron and another injured hunter are still recovering, so we haven't hunted for a while."

Zhou Jing nodded, thinking about it in his heart.

There are five hunters left... He remembered that there were six people who escaped, three of them were poisoned, but only his last apostle was seriously injured and killed.

It's a little weird... Zhou Jing's eyes narrowed.

It's not to say that his thoughts are dark, but according to rational judgment, with the physical quality of his last apostle, he shouldn't have survived as an ordinary hunter, while his own apostle is shitting. Since ordinary hunters can live, the apostles should also be able to live.

It's not surprising that Balon survived. This person has extraordinary resistance, and even if the injury is more serious, he can survive.

He couldn't help thinking of the picture of the old man saying that the potion was used up in [Death Replay], and he felt something was wrong.

At this time, the village chief sighed and shook his head:

"Baron said that your younger brother is very talented. He is very sorry, otherwise our village might have another official alien hunter... It's a pity that Will is too badly injured, and the witch doctor can't save it."

Zhou Jing's heart moved.

"Is the witch doctor the village doctor?"

"Well, he was originally a wandering pharmacist. We invited him to stay a few years ago. He promised to stay in the village to make potions, and the request was to let our hunter team go into the forest to collect herbs for him."

This person is probably the doctor who treated me with "Jumping God"...

Zhou Jing narrowed his eyes and kept it in his mind.

My plan is to stay in the village, and I will have time to explore it slowly in the future. As an outsider who has just arrived, it is not suitable to question someone who has been a doctor in the village for several years.

At this time, the village chief shook his head and said back to the topic:

"Jason, Frostwood Village welcomes you to stay. We are indeed short of manpower in many places. Farmers, blacksmiths, hunters... What exactly do you want to do?"

Zhou Jing didn't hesitate, and said cheerfully, "Being a hunter is more suitable for me."

The only alien hunter he knows now is Baron. If he wants to gain extraordinary power, he has to approach Baron as a hunter. This is a plan he has long thought of.

Hearing Zhou Jing's choice, the village chief immediately became happy. Now the hunter team in Shuangmu Village is seriously damaged and needs manpower the most.

Although the Terra Empire has been established for about 40 years, alien beasts are still the main threat, especially in the wild villages like Frostwood Village, where every hunter is precious.

Not only because of the kindness of Zhou Jing's "brother", but the outsider himself is also the labor force that the village desperately needs.

But Griff was not so happy. Although the contact between the two was short, he respected Zhou Jing's personality and couldn't help reminding him:

"Hunters need years of training. It's not a matter of time. I advise you to think about it again. Not everyone is born as strong as your brother."

Zhou Jing raised his brows and laughed:

"You may not believe it... I'm stronger than my brother!"

Griff was stunned for a moment, and then looked up and down Zhou Jing suspiciously.

It's not that he looks down on people, but "Will Wood" is the strongest ordinary person he has ever seen. Even the well-informed Captain Baron said that it is extremely rare, one in ten thousand.

Although you are Will's brother, it doesn't mean you are so strong, the probability is too low...

I'm afraid I'm not bragging, don't think I'm a countryman and just fool me!

Seeing Griff's disbelief, Zhou Jing didn't explain it. He got up and walked behind Griff, holding the chair with both hands, and exerting force.

In a burst of exclamations, Zhou Jing directly lifted him up with the chair, with a very relaxed expression, and even did a few curls at will, flipping Griff a few times.

——The physical fitness of "Jason Wood" has reached 10 points, which is higher than the previous apostle. It is as light as nothing to lift a person, and his body is full of strength, and his energy seems to be inexhaustible.

"Stop, stop, I believe it!"

Griff hurriedly landed, his face full of surprise, he couldn't help but reached out and squeezed Zhou Jing's arm, the touch was like fine iron.

Really so strong? What did these two brothers eat to grow up?

Griff was amazed.

"Why are you like this too?"

"No way, our Wood family has strong abilities, genes... cough, good blood!"

Griff was a little stunned: "Huh? Is everyone like this in your family?"

"That's right, our Wood family is born with supernatural powers, all of them are macho men!"

Zhou Jing laughed and patted Griff's back vigorously, making a muffled sound.

what! The bones are breaking!

Griff was almost staggered and grimaced in pain.

But that didn't stop him from getting excited.

The stronger this Jason Wood, the better for the village, which means that the hunters have ushered in a powerful companion!

Moreover, since the death of "Will Wood", Captain Baron has been overwhelmed with food and has been talking every day that such a good seedling is gone, and now he will be very excited to see an equally strong and sturdy man!

Griff rubbed his shoulders and said impatiently:

"You are indeed very suitable to be a hunter. I will take you to see Captain Balon now!"

"Okay." Zhou Jing naturally had no objection.

The village chief on the side was beaming with joy, happy for the village to get a powerful man, and said cheerfully:

"Then I represent Frostaki Village, you are welcome to stay."

With that said, the village chief turned to look at Ross, who was silent beside him, and asked curiously, "What about your companion? Does he want to be a hunter too?"

"Well, let's talk about that."

Zhou Jing was ambiguous.

How to arrange Ross, he has not fully considered, the current idea is to let Ross develop first, he can learn some deputy jobs, such as blacksmith, pharmacist, etc., to provide logistical support.

After all, in terms of combat, Ross, the whiteboard, shouldn't be of much help in a short period of time, and he still has to practice first.

...

On the other side of Frostwood Village, Baron's residence.

Baron sat at the door of the house, basking lazily in the sun, with some sackcloth bandages wrapped around him.

From time to time, villagers pass by and greet him friendly, and he also nods in response.

"It's another sunny day... The injury should recover faster."

Baron muttered to himself, touched the wound, and it was almost better.

The last time he was attacked by the Earth Skeletons and was seriously injured, he has been recuperating until now.

He is an alien hunter stationed in Frostwood Village. Unlike the local hunters, he has no family here. He is alone. His task is to train hunters and lead a team to hunt. Occasionally, when he finds traces of alien animals, he picks up an axe and goes all out, living a lonely and hard life. full of danger.

Although many daughters of farmers were curious about the alien beast hunter, and suggested more than once that they wanted to drill into the barn with him, Baron generally kept his words, and used exercise to develop his strength most of the time.

In his eyes, a real alien hunter should never pursue power, wealth or priority in mating, either on the way of hunting aliens or in training.

It's just that since the establishment of the Terra Empire, the ancient profession of alien beast hunter has become more and more impure...

Baron sighed secretly.

People who have obtained alien blood enhancement are only called alien blood warriors, not alien beast hunters. The former is only the entry requirement for the latter.

Alien beast hunters need to be proficient in combat skills, learn how to fight alien beasts, receive long-term training, and finally participate in a successful hunt before they can be considered as masters, and only then can they be qualified to call themselves "exotic beast hunters".

In the wild age, each tribe had a set of methods for training alien hunters, basically fighting only for their own tribe.

After the establishment of the Terra Empire, some of the training methods were integrated to train more alien beast hunters, and then assigned to solve the alien beast threat in various places under its jurisdiction, or to stay in certain territories.

But Baron is not this "imperial hunter", he is another kind.

When he was young, he happened to meet a wandering alien hunter. He was spotted by the other side and taught him by his side. Finally, he was strengthened by alien blood potion and became a free hunter. This is also a common situation, and it is a common situation. It is also one of the mainstream alien hunter groups.

Freelance hunters or expatriate imperial hunters occasionally encounter ordinary people who are worthy of training, and they are basically not stingy in teaching - this is the tradition of this ancient profession.

Alien beasts have always been the main threat to survival. For the sake of the entire human race, most alien beast hunters are willing to train new people, which is also cultivating partners who may fight side by side in the future.

Balon couldn't help but think of "Will Wood" again, and sighed in his heart.

Even after dozens of days, he still regrets it every time he thinks about it.

What a good seedling!

He was the most gifted person he had ever seen, and he was definitely one of a kind, and his personality was also very appealing to him.

He originally thought that when he left the black-shirted forest, he would invite Will to stay in the village, train him to become a beast hunter, and teach him all his experience.

It's a pity that fate has messed with people. Will's genius has just been discovered by himself, and he died quietly before he had time to shine in the world.

Such an excellent seedling is gone!

Where can I find such a good one? !

Please God give me another strong man!

Baron sighed inwardly.

Just when he was secretly hurt, three people came from the street and stopped in front of his house.

Among them, Griff was an old acquaintance, but the latter two were unfamiliar faces that the village had never seen before.

"Captain Balon, how's your recovery going?" Griff greeted with a smile.

"Not bad, in a few days, you can go hunting in the forest."

Baron responded casually, looking curiously at the two strangers behind Griff.

A masculine appearance with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

A featureless, like a fool.

Before he could ask a question, Griff introduced it first:

"This is Jason Wood, he's going to live in the village and join our hunters, and this Ross is his friend."

Baron was stunned: "Wood? Could it be..."

"He's Will's brother."

Griff nodded.

Balon's eyes widened suddenly, with a shocked expression that was exactly the same as Griff who had just learned the news.

He couldn't help but look at Zhou Jing carefully and compare it with Will's appearance in his memory.

I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but he felt that the facial features of the two were becoming more and more similar.

At this moment, Baron suddenly thought of something and stood up quickly, feeling a little embarrassed.

When Zhou Jing saw it, he knew that he might have misunderstood his intentions, so he deliberately smiled brightly, and said:

"You are Baron. I heard about you. You once saved my brother's life. Although he didn't make it through, it's not your responsibility. You don't have to feel guilty. I'm not here to blame you."

"...Actually, it was your brother who saved our lives."

Baron is no longer cramped, and he is sighing.

He immediately thought of what Griff had just said, and asked curiously:

"You want to join the hunter team of Frostwood Village, why is this?"

Zhou Jing heard the words, his face sank, and he said slowly:

"I don't hide it from you. I stayed with my younger brother and for revenge. Will saved you all, and I am very proud of your death. But that group of skeletons killed my younger brother. Without them, what kind of brother am I?"

"Yes!"

Baronton was born with the same hatred and hatred, and suddenly had a good impression.

This word came to his heart!

Just appreciate it!

Be like me! It seems that it is also a thing that is used to flying big bricks!

Baron was still in the mood, slapped his thigh, and his beard trembled with excitement:

"Will is the most talented person I've ever seen. He's definitely suitable to be a hunter of alien beasts. It's a pity to die... You're right, it's not the end of it unless you kill all the skeletons!"

"Speaking of this..." Griff suddenly said: "Captain, Jason is stronger than Will, I have tried it."

"Stronger than Will?!"

Balong was startled and looked Zhou Jing up and down.

real or fake? Will's talent is unique, but his brother is even more powerful?

Seeing that Balong didn't quite believe it, Zhou Jing was not surprised.

He thought for a while, then took Griff's back collar with one hand and picked it up.

"???"

Griff, with his feet off the ground, was full of question marks.

Baron was stunned for a moment, then rushed forward in two steps, holding Zhou Jing's arm with his big hand, kneading his muscles, feeling something.

The more he touched the muscles, the brighter his eyes became.

Ouch, what a strong body!

What feed did these brothers eat to grow up?

After Will, here comes Jason... Could it be that God heard my wish and brought down a macho? !

Baron took two steps back and looked at Zhou Jing in surprise, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.

"How?" Zhou Jing raised his brows and put Griff down.

"I believe it." Baron couldn't help but wonder: "You and your brother are both so strong... Then do you have other siblings? Are they all like this?"

I will do this!

Griff immediately raised his hand to answer: "The Woods are all born with magical powers!"

Baron was amazed and said to himself: "It's amazing... Obviously it's a surname that I haven't heard of before. Could it be a blood relative of a small clan?"

After muttering to himself for a while, he suddenly made up his mind and looked at Zhou Jing with an anxious and anticipatory tone:

"Are you willing... to be an alien hunter?"

Zhou Jing smiled, this was the purpose of his stay in the village.

"Of course!"
