Astral Apostle

The atmosphere of this supper was in full swing, and it was eaten until it was almost dawn, and a few people left to go home.

Although Zhou Jing wanted to ask Li Xiaoyin for some internal information about the power user circle, but at present, they are also new, and they are so "off the beaten track", maybe they don't know as much as he, so Zhou Jing temporarily suppressed this idea.

Back in the rental house, Zhou Jing rested for a while, sobered up, and started studying according to the training plan.

On and off until the afternoon, the shuttle cooling finally came to an end.

"Now is the time to see the results of the serious placement..."

Zhou Jing rubbed his sore eyes and turned off the computer he was checking for information.

Lie back on the bed and close your eyes.

"Enter!"

...

hum-

Consciousness returned to the shuttle preparation space, still starry.

Zhou Jing looked at the huge fluorescent panel. The results of this placement have shown:

[End of "Jason Wood" placement]

[You can view this placement income report...automatically expand]

[Placement time: 18 days (Astral Time)]

[This time income: Astral Point +210]

[Cumulative Income: Astral Point 210/2000]

[Ability Growth: [Hunter's Breath and Forging] Lv1→Lv2, [Weapon Mastery·Hunting Knife] Lv1→Lv2, [Weapon Mastery·Heavy Knife] Lv0→Lv1]

[Trigger achievement: none]

[Rating of this placement: Normal]

[Whether to check the placement experience log]

"Okay, still alive!"

Zhou Jing's heart was relieved.

Not only that, but the skills have also been cultivated and upgraded... It seems that the plan is feasible, and the development in Frostwood Village is indeed stable.

The benefits of placement are really not bad. As long as the foundation is laid during the personal arrival, and there is a stable environment, placement can play a huge role.

Open the log, and all the experiences during the placement of "Jason Wood" are completely recorded in the form of first-person images.

And at the nodes of encountering events, improving skills, and interacting with people, there are additional sticky notes.

The experience during placement can be viewed slowly, or it can be directly absorbed and turned into memory, the latter being more efficient.

Zhou Jing checked it and found that there were no special events during the placement of "Jason Wood". According to the set placement plan of "Concentrate on Cultivation", he spent most of his time exercising.

Occasionally communicating with Baron, Griff and others, they all seem to be reticent and rarely bring up the topic actively. They behave quite low-key and focus on training... It is also possible that "Jason Wood"'s perseverance and martial qualities are at play.

"Well, it looks quite normal, and there is nothing strange about the performance of the placement. At most, it is much more silent than when I personally controlled it... It seems that the synchronization rate is higher, and the response that the astral apostle can make is more complicated. Now It's okay, it's not a waste of time."

Zhou Jing thought to himself.

If the astral apostle has a good personality, it will be more stable to place.

In general, the effect of the placement mode was confirmed this time, and it has met his expectations.

"The next step is to maintain the status quo and let this astral apostle develop."

Zhou Jing was certain.

...

...

The passage of time does not depend on human will.

The sun rises and the moon sets, and the seasons change.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the Frostwood Village training ground, a strong figure was holding a dark heavy sword, practising basic swordsmanship movements.

Sweeping, slashing, stabbing, smashing, picking... Each style is full of power, rolling up a low and whistling wind.

call!

The figure finally slashed a knife, and the blade suddenly stopped in the air a few centimeters above the ground, blowing away the dust with energy,

The force control is very skilled and precise.

"call……"

Zhou Jing drew back his sword and stood up, exhaling a breath of turbid air, and the muscles of his whole body vibrated with high frequency.

"The breathing technique has finally been upgraded again."

Opened the panel and took a look, [Hunter's Breath · Forging] finally reached Lv4.

This is the fourth time he has descended on "Jason Wood", and the time spent in shuttle and placement adds up, and he has survived in the alien world for more than three months.

Most of the time, he grew up in Frostwood Village, and occasionally followed the hunter team into the forest, shooting some common prey to provide meat for the village, because he did not go too deep into the forest and did not encounter the skeleton people.

Frostwood Village was inaccessible, and nothing happened during the days of focusing on cultivation, and the waves were calm. In the village, he looked down but not looked up to see him. In the past three months, he has become acquainted with most of the villagers.

The result of the practice is mainly Hunter's Breathing. As the skill level increases, even if there is a practice acceleration function, the time it takes to reach the next mastery level also increases.

In the first month, [Hunter's Breath · Forging] was upgraded to Lv2 two levels in a row, and in the next two months or so, it could be upgraded to Lv4, which is getting longer and longer.

Zhou Jing also understands why the training acceleration fee is only a guarantee, and in fact, there is no upper limit to invest in astral points to further accelerate the learning speed - if this is very advanced, even if the guaranteed training acceleration is activated, it may cost a few more. It takes years to level up the skills.

Just like ordinary people, the more proficient in a skill, the more difficult it is to make progress.

In addition, in addition to the improvement of the hunter's breathing technique, he also mastered the skills of hunting knives, heavy knives, war knives and other knives. Weapon Mastery - Knife Technique].

"These two abilities have been trained in three months, and they are already comparable to the achievements of others in ten years..."

Zhou Jing muttered secretly, and glanced at the current effects of the two skills.

[[Hunter's Breath and Forging]]

[Current level: Lv4- (Proficient)]

[Effect: Physical +3, Resistance +2]

——

[[Weapon Mastery-Knife Technique]]

[Current level: Lv4- (Proficient)]

[Effect: Possess superb swordsmanship skills, physical strength +1]

——

Most of the training time is spent on these two skills, and the rewards are quite good.

Zhou Jing opened the ability file of "Jason Wood", and the attributes of this astral apostle have become:

[Attributes: Physical 14, Resistance 11, Perception 5, Spirit 6, Energy 0]

Compared with three months ago, his physical fitness has been significantly improved. Before the enhancement of the abnormal blood, there are already some extraordinary signs, which is indeed somewhat unexpected to Zhou Jing.

"Mainly due to the Hunter's Breathing Technique..."

Zhou Jing pondered that it was probably a bit of a coincidence that this skill had this effect on him.

[Hunter's Breath · Forging] There is a threshold for practice. Even if you know that this skill is somewhat extraordinary, ordinary people can't practice it, but if you want to reach the threshold of practice, normal exercise is extremely difficult to achieve, which becomes an endless cycle.

Only the apostles that he pinched, with an initial physical strength that surpassed ordinary people, directly reached the threshold of cultivation, and solved this problem, which is difficult for others to copy.

After three months, most of the Astral Points that he had saved were thrown into these two skills. Among them, [Hunter's Breath and Forging] is the most expensive. It has risen to the current Lv4, and 700 points have been thrown into it.

If a single return and placement is regarded as a shuttle cycle, then the current daily income brought by "Jason Wood" in each cycle is about 300 astral points, except for a few simple triggers of the first shuttle. Achievement, the next few times did not trigger again.

After deducting the expenses for accelerated study these days, I still have 460 points left on hand.

"Exercise to this level, you should almost be able to take the different blood medicine. If you continue to develop like this, it will not be very cost-effective..."

Just as Zhou Jing was thinking silently, Baron, who was supervising on the side, came over.

"Is it progressing again?" Baron came to Zhou Jing with a calm tone.

"Well, it seems like this, I feel my strength has increased again."

Zhou Jing nodded, and held a knife flower in his hand. The heavy heavy knife was as light as a wooden stick in his hand.

Watching this scene calmly, Baron was expressionless.

In the past three months, he has been witnessing Zhou Jing's incredible growth rate, and he has gradually changed from shock to surprise.

People are already numb.

He had absolutely no idea what was going on with this "Jason Wood".

There is no abnormal blood enhancement, so when you practice, your physical strength is about to catch up with yourself? !

This is actually a beast in human skin!

The world view has been broken time and time again, and Baron has given up thinking about such puzzling problems with limited brain cells, and attributes everything to the extraordinary talent of "Jason Wood".

He grasped the core contradiction and determined a truth-as long as this "Jason Wood" is a hunter of alien beasts, the better he is, the better.

Seeing that Balong didn't answer, Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you think I can use the alien blood potion now?"

Yes, of course, let alone the use of alien blood medicine, you can go directly to the alien blood warrior...

Balon resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said directly:

"Pack up, we will set off for Baiyuan City at dawn tomorrow, and I will take you to get the Different Blood Potion!"

"Okay."

Zhou Jing's eyes lit up.

After three months of training, I finally met Baron's requirements, and this time I was finally able to come into contact with the real extraordinary power!

...

Early the next morning, Zhou Jing took Ross to meet Baron at the entrance of the village, and each brought their luggage and equipment.

Balon was still dressed as he was hunting. Because the two-handed battle axe was thrown in the forest, it was estimated that it was picked up by the skeleton people, so he asked the blacksmith in the village to hit a new axe, which was rougher and simpler than the original weapon. a lot.

Zhou Jing was wearing a hunter's uniform, with a dagger in his waist and a dark heavy knife hanging on his back.

This heavy knife was made by a blacksmith in the east of the village with stubborn iron for making farm tools. It has no special features except that it is heavy. It is usually used for exercise, and of course it can also be used to cut people... To be precise, it is to swing people.

Ross was carrying pots and pans on his back and looked like a cook... After following Zhou Jing in the past few months, he actually learned to cook!

Although it is currently limited to cooking the food, it is already a leap forward!

Zhou Jing is not generally relieved about this - he finally doesn't have to be a nanny anymore, and can finally enjoy the service of his valet!

There is some distance from Shuangmu Village to Baiyuan City. There are no means of transportation in the village except for ox carts. Generally, they enter the city on foot.

But even though it was on foot, with the endurance of the two, it was faster to run all the way.

Even if you bring a Ross, it won't take many days.

However, besides the three of them, there was an uninvited guest at the entrance of the village at this time.

"Uncle Jason, Uncle Barron, can you take me to the city?"

Reiner hugged Zhou Jing's thigh, raised his head and blinked his big eyes to be cute, with a look of flattery and prayer.

"I'm on business, I don't have time to take you."

Zhou Jing shook his legs helplessly and wanted to throw Reiner off.

After all, Griff's son, he still didn't slap the child, causing the child to stick to himself more and more.

"Don't, I'm very good. I listen to you all the way. If you want me to eat, I will eat, and if you want me to sleep, I will sleep!"

Lena said hurriedly.

"Good?" Baron snorted, "Did your father allow you to go out?"

"He... he agreed!" Reiner replied with a stubborn neck.

Zhou Jing suddenly raised his head and looked behind Reiner: "Hey, Griff, you got up early too, are you here to arrest your son?"

"Oops Dad!"

Reiner was startled, quickly let go of his hand, and turned his head to look behind him.

Huh... A gust of cold wind blew, and there was no Griff's figure, not a single hair.

"You lied to me!"

Reiner turned his head angrily, only to see that the three of Zhou Jing had already run away.

...

From Shuangmu Village to Baiyuan City, the road is a piece of unprocessed natural scenery, the terrain is mostly plains and hills, occasionally dotted with small forests.

Dirt roads are sometimes non-existent, and sometimes there are roadside signs after a long distance. If you are not familiar with the direction, it is easy to go astray. Baron is an old driver, and naturally there is no possibility of getting lost.

There was no delay in the middle, Zhou Jing and Baron ran all the way with endurance, occasionally carrying Ross on their shoulders, and it didn't take long for the three to reach their destination.

Walking out of a small forest, the vision in the distance suddenly became clear, and I saw a town sitting on a hill.

Surrounded by gray city walls, there are clear stone and brick blocks. Some houses in the city are higher than the city walls, and the roofs emerge from the back of the walls, which are well-proportioned.

"This is Baiyuan City..." Zhou Jing looked out.

He was used to seeing buildings in the interstellar era. Of course, this town has nothing to do with grandeur. In his opinion, it is a small town at the village level, with simple ancient city wall fortifications, at most four or five meters high.

But for the residents of the alien world of this era, it is already a sizable medium-sized city.

"Come on, let's go into the city."

Baron patted Zhou Jing on the shoulder.

The three of them came to the city gate, where a lot of people were queuing to enter the city, including farmers, traders, and alien hunters with weapons.

The full-loaded bullock carts were crowded, and the merchants chatted with people in the northern dialect, which was very noisy.

There were four guards in front of the city gate, wearing studded leather armor, with simple round helmets slanted on their heads, and short spears in their hands beating at the goods of the ox-cart, interrogating the people who entered the city.

There are four fortress cities in the northern part of the Terra Empire, and there are dozens of towns like Baiyuan City. Baiyuan City is relatively remote, but it is still a town. It is still much busier than the remote Shuangmu Village. The surrounding villages Farmers, passing traders, travelers, mercenaries, and alien hunters will all transit here.

Soon, it was Zhou Jing's turn.

The guards saw Balon dressed as an alien hunter, and came up to question him with respect.

After Baron said that he was a hunter stationed in Frostwood Village, the guards immediately let go, and the three entered the town together.

As Baron said, the alien hunter is a glorious profession. It fights against alien animals all year round and solves the existential threat of human beings. It is indeed very prestigious among the people. Few towns will refuse alien hunters to enter.

Walking on the noisy and lively streets, Baron told Zhou Jing about the city situation.

"Including me, there are about 30 alien beast hunters who have been active for a long time around Baiyuan City. Most of the alien beast threats around here are solved by us. Most of the time we are scattered in different areas, and some They are stationed hunters, and some are free-roaming hunters. Generally, it is only in Baiyuan City that it is easy to meet with others. This time, I brought you to strengthen the alien blood, and by the way, I will also introduce you to other people, so that you know that after you become an alien hunter what to do."

Zhou Jing nodded, observed the medieval-style buildings on the street, and asked casually, "If you don't count the hunters, how many troops are there in Baiyuan City?"

"There should be three or four hundred standing soldiers, all of them from Lord Root Crow... Hmph, there should be a few alien blood warriors among them."

Speaking of the last sentence, Baron couldn't help showing a look of contempt.

Zhou Jing glanced at him curiously: "You seem to hate this lord?"

"That's not true. Lord Root is actually okay. He is a tribal blood relative and has been protecting Baiyuan City for all these years. The town is not only a settlement, but also responsible for clearing the surrounding alien threats. He never stingy bounties to call hunters, Many times I asked my own troops to help with the hunting... Although it is a matter for the lord, at least it is considered competent."

After a little explanation, Baron paused and snorted coldly: "What I hate is the group of alien blood warriors who are recruited by the lord and serve as guards for the lord."

"How do you say that? They have a conflict with you?" Zhou Jing became interested.

"It's not a contradiction with me." Baron said dissatisfied: "These people have survived the alien blood strengthening, but they don't use this power to deal with alien beasts. Instead, they gather around the lord for power or wealth. When we hunt alien beasts, they But hiding behind, what is this? We hunters have never looked down on such cowards!"

Zhou Jing suddenly understood.

——Everyone has accepted the enhancement of different blood, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Alien hunters go to fight against alien beasts, but these people who have the same power are hiding behind, serving as guards for the lord, without going to the battlefield.

Under the professional tradition of glory, alien hunters must look down on these alien blood warriors who dare not be hunters. This should be a long-standing chain of contempt.

In the tribal era, the pressure of survival was huge, and the warriors who successfully strengthened their alien blood were basically all in order to be alien hunters and protect the tribe.

In today's era of empires, people with extraordinary power have a different mind... Compared with the alien hunter who wanders between life and death, it seems safer and more comfortable to gain wealth and power with this power.

Anyway, there are other people who are alien beast hunters, why should they take risks and finally get power, of course they should think about their own interests... Maybe this is the way of thinking?

'This should be the difference between the power users in this world... After people gain extraordinary power, the idea is not as simple as before. ’

Zhou Jing shook his head, and couldn't help but think of Baron's occasional remark that hunters were not pure now.

He didn't think there was anything, it was human nature, and with the reduction of external pressure, people's hearts would become complicated.

It's just that as this concept slowly spreads to the entire society, there may be fewer and fewer orthodox hunters who can uphold the tradition of honoring alien hunters and take up the responsibility of fighting alien beasts...

'That's why Balon often talks about the glory of the alien hunter in the past three months and instills it in me... just worried that I'm not an alien hunter? ' Zhou Jing thought to himself.

He understands Baron's concerns, but the [life goal] of this astral apostle is basically related to alien hunters.

In order to collect the number of information-state particles required for customs clearance as soon as possible, I not only have to be a hunter, but also have to make some achievements in this industry.
