Astral Apostle

In the next few days, Zhou Jing followed the hunter team in the forest looking for hunting targets.

Zhou Jing practiced while rushing on the road, as if tireless, whenever he was free, he would ask Griff for all kinds of knowledge. When other hunters were idle, in order to relieve boredom, they would come to give pointers from time to time.

In addition to the skills of using daggers, Griff also briefly pointed out the skills of hunting knives, as well as some wild survival skills, which are displayed on the panel as [Weapon Mastery - Hunting Knife] and [Wild Survival].

Zhou Jing also turned on the training acceleration function, and the cost was 30 astral points and 20 astral points respectively.

As for bow and arrow skills, the hunter did not intend to teach him.

Zhou Jing didn't mind either. Accelerating practice was not multitasking, and his energy was limited. In just a few days, he learned three skills in a cramming manner, and the knowledge injection was full.

The level of these skills is Lv0, which means that they have not yet been learned and will not be counted in the skill column.

He tried his best to spend as much time as possible to practice three abilities on the way, and on the fourth day, he finally got rid of the whiteboard attribute-[Weapon Mastery-Dagger], [Weapon Mastery-Hunting Knife], [Wild Survival] After reaching Lv1 one after another, the suffix shows the level of "beginner".

The accelerated effect of practice ended, Zhou Jing thought about it, and did not choose to renew the fee.

On the one hand, when you reach a higher skill level, the cost of training acceleration has increased, and the astral point in your hand is only 305 points, so you need to save some points. Another reason is that the panel's expected stay is five to seven days, and it has been four days since its arrival.

Speaking of which, I don't know how the number of days of stay is calculated, and how the standard of "one day" is determined. Even the length of a day on different planets is different, not to mention the main world and the current plane... I don't know what formula it is.

Maybe it's based on the time spent by the ontology? After the consciousness is cast, convert the time spent in the main world body with the time flow difference, and finally get the stay time in the astral world, and then convert it into the number of days?

Zhou Jing lacked information in this regard, so he could only guess randomly, but in the past few days, he roughly estimated the length of a day in this world, which was similar to the planet where the main world itself lived.

In contrast, he is more curious about what form the return will take after his stay expires. Whether his body suddenly disappeared, or something else... He did not receive this information.

I knew it when I returned, and Zhou Jing didn't get too entangled.

After the three skills were upgraded, he did not show it out of caution.

The level of a beginner is nothing to a hunter, but he feels that in the cognition of these people, it is impossible for a person to make such a big improvement in such a short period of time, so I am afraid he suspects that he has concealed something before. , was suspected by others.

Because before, in order to inquire about information, I had to slap on the side, but now I am quite suspicious, and it is better to do less than one thing.

Zhou Jing himself is used to keeping a low profile, which is similar to the "prudent" trait of this astral apostle.

Along the way, in addition to having to talk, he maintained a cautious attitude in most cases. The synchronization rate of this astral apostle gradually increased to 26%, but he did not feel any change for the time being.

All the way last week, Jing had a safe and fulfilling life, and on the afternoon of the fourth day, the hunter team finally approached the hunting goal of this trip.

...

"We're very close, and the white spider monster is not far ahead."

Baron half-squatted on the ground, picked up a branch, and stirred a pool of white marks on the ground, stirring up the brushed mucus.

There was more white mucus on the forest floor ahead, intermittently, forming a meandering trace that extended into the woods.

Baron threw away the branches, stood up, and ordered in a deep voice:

"All the weapons are prepared and the bait is prepared. We have to arrange traps and ambush circles in front."

The other hunters looked serious and took off the quiver to check the status of each arrow inside.

Then, he took out the tightly packed beast viscera from his luggage.

These were all taken out from the bodies of the dozen snakes and wolves four days ago, and they were all rotten at this time. The hunting at that time was to obtain these baits.

"The white spider monster is a scavenger and likes the internal organs of animals the most. As long as we can use these baits to introduce it into the trap, we can get a head start, and maybe we can easily solve this goal."

Griff stood next to Zhou Jing and explained casually, rummaging through the soft and rotten animal entrails in his hands, his face was as usual, as if the pungent stench did not exist.

Zhou Jing tried his best to resist the urge to cover his nose, and asked in a muffled voice, "What does the white spider monster you're talking about look like?"

The goal of this hunter team is to kill this alien beast. He has heard hunters say that alien beasts are dangerous all the way, but he has never actually seen it, and there is no intuitive concept in his mind.

"The whole body is white, it will secrete white mucus, and the key is in the abdomen... Well, I have never seen it before. It is also the first time I have hunted this species of alien beast. The information was all told by Captain Baron. He came to Frostwood Village. Before, I was a freelance hunter, hunting exotic beasts everywhere, and I was well-informed, and I was a senior exotic beast hunter."

Baron heard the conversation between the two, looked back and waved his hand to deny:

"I'm not a senior...experience may be enough, but my strength is far behind, and I don't have the courage to take the second medicine of different blood."

The Different Blood Potion can be taken multiple times to strengthen it, but every time it is taken, the chance of surviving is lower... Zhou Jing had already heard Griff say it on the way.

"As for you..." Balon looked at Zhou Jing and said, "You don't have to hunt with us, you can hide in a hidden place nearby, or you can climb up a tree and come back after we finish hunting. you."

"I'll go with you to help lay out traps, and I'll climb up a tree to hide when the fight starts."

Zhou Jing didn't plan to stay, it was too passive.

If this group of hunters fails, they will not be able to walk out of the forest even if they hide themselves. When their lips are dead, they might as well follow the big army and don't fall behind.

Moreover, he also wants to collect information and see what the alien beast looks like, so that he can have a clear understanding of the dangers of this world, so as to facilitate the arrangement of actions in the future.

Dean heard the words and shook his head in disapproval:

"I don't think so. It's fine to take him along the way, but we don't have the energy to take care of him when we are officially hunting."

"This is not a problem. Don't worry about me when you fight. I'll hide on the side. And maybe I can help, such as guarding the edge of the battlefield. If other beasts enter by mistake, I can also notify you." Zhou Jing strives.

Dean wanted to say something, and Baron raised his hand to signal him to shut up.

Balon stroked his beard, considered for a few seconds, and nodded: "That's fine, it's already evening, we will most likely hunt in the middle of the night, your observation skills are really good, then you will be hiding in a tree farther away. When we fight, just help us pay attention to the situation around us, and don't have to do other superfluous things."

"Okay."

Zhou Jing immediately agreed.

After getting along these days, he has discovered that the values ​​of these hunters are subtly different from those of the interstellar age, and at least they are more likely to trust others.

This is also the main reason why a guy of unknown origin can be accepted.

If it is modern, it will not be so easy.

Seeing this, many hunters did not express any further opinions, and started preparations in silence.

Baron took the team forward for a while, found an area suitable for ambush, arranged it as a trap, and then dropped the internal organs of the rotten animal to make an induction route, and the end pointed here.

It was not until it was dark that everything was ready, and everyone climbed the tree and quietly waited for the prey to come to the door.

...

The night was dark, and the forest became silent, save for the rubbing of leaves swaying in the breeze.

Everyone hid in different trees, no one talked and chatted, tried not to do anything, and the breath almost disappeared.

If it wasn't for knowing where they were hiding, it would have been difficult for Zhou Jing to distinguish them.

He also hid in the tree, hiding in the farthest position, paying attention to the wind and grass around him from time to time, while silently estimating the time in his heart.

"We've been waiting for almost three hours. Shouldn't they plan to stay here all night, so they'll freeze..."

After an unknown amount of time, a strange crawling sound sounded, gradually approaching.

rustling --

A huge silhouette emerged in the darkness, shuttled quickly through the forest, and headed towards this side, stopping and stopping on the road, as if it was swallowing the bait laid out by the hunters.

It didn't take long for this creature to step into the woodland. Zhou Jing saw its appearance and took a breath.

The torso of this monster is divided into upper and lower parts. The lower body is like a spider's abdomen, with eight furry limbs extending out to support the body and walk. The upper body is an upright and slender torso with a ferocious beast head on top, and its mouth is chewing the rotten internal organs used as bait. There are human-like slender arms on the left and right sides, but the ends are huge asymmetrical proportions. claws.

It is five or six meters in length and about four and a half meters tall. The upper body is covered with pale skin, like a thin film. Occasionally, blue blood vessels can be seen bulging under the skin. The lower body is covered with black carapace. When walking, white mucus is left from time to time on the tail. The overall look is very ferocious, and it belongs to the style of painting that can scare children to tears at a glance.

"Is this the white spider monster they are hunting, the so-called alien beast?"

Zhou Jing was shocked.

Small chic, looks really exciting!

It's only a little worse than me playing games to pinch people!

The White Spider Monster picked up the animal entrails and stuffed it into its mouth, walked into the center of the trap, picked up the last piece of bait, and the ground collapsed suddenly.

Boom!

The white spider monster was short and fell straight into the crypt trap.

The dense clack clack suddenly sounded, and the spikes hidden in the crypt trap were crushed by the tough lower carapace of the white spider monster.

But there are still a part of the thorns, which are inserted into the key point of the lower abdomen of the white spider, which is its soft abdomen.

"Yeah-"

A mournful howl suddenly broke out, instantly piercing the silence of the night forest.

This is like a signal, and the many hunters hiding in the tree immediately polished the flint and threw their hands into the crypt.

Not only did they put spikes in the crypt traps, but they also smeared them with animal fat and set them on fire.

call!

In the crypt, the fire burst into flames.

The flames engulfed the howling white spider monster, making the dim forest suddenly brighter. Like a huge bonfire.

"Fire arrows!"

With a loud shout, a rain of arrows poured out, instantly shooting the struggling figure in the crypt into a hedgehog.

One arrow followed by another, as if the quiver would not stop until the quiver was shot in the air... It is difficult to miss such a big target!

On the other side, Zhou Jing hid in the treetops and observed in secret.

He knew what traps the hunters had prepared, so he was not surprised at this time, his eyes fixed on the figure that gradually stopped struggling in the firelight, and he muttered in his heart.

"Even if this battle didn't burn to death, it was shot into a hedgehog... Should it be killed?"

While thinking so, Zhou Jing suddenly saw Baron jump off the tree and walk towards the crypt.

Baron didn't know when there was a small bottle full of green liquid in his hand, bit off the cork, raised his head and gulped.

Blue veins quickly appeared on his bare forehead, and Baron's expression became hideous, as if he was in great pain, but the muscles all over his body seemed to swell in a circle.

The empty bottle rolled from his hand, and Baron took off the giant axe on his back, held it in both hands, and dragged it diagonally to the ground, gradually changing from walking to trotting, and finally to sprinting. Man bear!

At this moment, the flames in the crypt exploded!

Countless sparks scattered out, and the white spider monster bounced into the sky and flew out of the crypt.

It was covered with burning marks, exuding a pungent burnt smell, and dozens of arrows were stuck in its upper body, which were also burning together.

Baron was looking at this opportunity, and before the White Spider Monster landed, he approached.

The momentum of the sprint suddenly stopped, and the strong strength and the kinetic energy accumulated in the charge drove the giant axe across a round of meniscus.

The wind is howling, the momentum is heavy!

The white spider monster was still in the air, and its two slender arms slammed to meet the axe blade.

clang!

The iron axe collided with flesh and blood, but the sound was like metal!

The white spider monster had nowhere to borrow, its huge body flew out seven or eight meters, rolling on the ground, leaving a burning trail.

But it got up in a hurry. It looked miserable, but there was no sign of dying at all. Instead, it roared in anger, sharp and ear-piercing, and the air shook.

At this time, Zhou Jing's pupils shrank slightly.

He found that the two seemingly slender and fragile arms of the White Spider Monster caught Balon's heavy slash, leaving a not-so-deep wound, which did not affect the movement at all, and was unusually tough.

On the other hand, Baron staggered back, endured the same shock force, a large number of capillaries ruptured, and nosebleeds sprayed out.

"Hoo...ha!"

Baron wiped his nose bleed indiscriminately, his round eyes roared angrily, and he charged up again dragging the giant axe to fight the white spider monster head-on.

The other hunters remained in the trees, shooting arrows with bows and arrows to cover Balon. They were all ordinary people who had never used alien blood medicine before, and they were hit by the terrifying force of the White Spider Monster, and they were not killed or seriously injured.

Only the official alien hunter can confront the alien beast head-on.

The tonnage of the alien beast brings enormous power. Baron's physical strength is already strong enough, and it seems that he has drunk some kind of fortifier, but he is still slapped by the white spider monster and rolls all over the floor.

But his axe skills are superb. The giant axe is both a weapon and a shield. In addition to slashing and stabbing, he also has skillful blocking and evasion.

Baron kept rolling and unloading, spinning around the White Spider Monster like a whirlwind, waiting for an opportunity to leave axe wounds on the opponent's body. As a seasoned alien hunter, his hunting experience was fully revealed, and some actions looked simple and unpretentious. But it is very practical, and it can contain the White Spider Monster for a while.

"Yeah-"

The white spider monster screamed angrily, but because of its body structure, it seemed inflexible. A pair of giant claws kept waving in the air, just like slapping a gopher, digging out claw marks and dirt grooves on the ground.

Zhou Jing could see it clearly from the tree. More than once, Baron wanted to find an opportunity to get under the crotch of the White Spider Monster and attack the opponent's belly, but the White Spider Monster paid great attention to protecting the vital points that had been injured.

- Its abdomen was injured when it fell into the crypt, leaving a pool of white mucus and blood on the ground from time to time, as well as some broken organ tissues.

Just then, the arrow rain stopped suddenly.

The quiver... is empty.

The nine hunters jumped from the tree, took out their hunting knives and walked up and down, rolling like Baron, turning into nine skilled pedicure masters.

It kept attacking the eight arthropod legs that supported the body of the White Spider Monster, and chopped off sparks.

They came up to share the pressure on Baron, and were looking for an opportunity to shovel the White Nebula.

It's just that these ordinary hunters have limited physical fitness, and the opportunity is fleeting.

The White Spider Monster focused most of his attention on Baron. He obviously felt that Baron was the most threatening. Other hunters couldn't even cut off its lower limb carapace. To him, it was like a nasty fly.

Not very harmful, very insulting.

"Whether it went well or not..."

Zhou Jing focused on the hunt.

It seems that everyone can't help the White Spider Monster, but the White Spider Monster has been trapped and accumulated a lot of injuries. As long as it keeps delaying, it will become weak sooner or later.

After a stalemate for a while, the white spider monster suddenly swayed, and the movement finally showed a slow trend.

Flaws emerge.

A hunter seized the opportunity, resolutely shoveled a shovel, brushed the ground and drilled through the gap between the two arthropod legs to the bottom of the white spider monster, the hunting knife stabbed into the soft abdomen, pulled the handle of the knife horizontally, and spurted blood. Immediately it covered his face.

"Sigh-"

The white arachnid howled miserably.

pretty! Very slippery shovel!

The others were instantly overjoyed.

However, before they could finish being happy, the White Spider Monster suddenly folded its eight legs and sat down.

Boom!

The white spider monster's astonishing weight shook the ground, and the hunter who got under it instantly lost his voice and sat directly to death.

This...is this a cake? !

Zhou Jing's heart suddenly burst.

The next moment, the giant claws of the White Spider Monster suddenly swung out. Because of the injury and stimulation, the speed was even three points faster.

Rao is that the other hunters are not stunned by the death of their companions, and they cannot escape.

Bang! Bang!

With two muffled sounds, the two ordinary hunters were shot by the giant claws in front of them, flew more than ten meters away, and fell heavily on the ground, with a large amount of blood spilling out of their mouths.

Seeing that the situation took a turn for the worse, Zhou Jing groaned in his heart and couldn't sit still.

He hurriedly jumped off the tree and ran quickly to the side of a seriously injured hunter, wanting to see if he could save someone.

"Hey, can you hold on?"

Zhou Jing crouched down to hold the seriously injured hunter's head, and after a closer look, he found that it was Dean.

Dean's mouth kept pouring blood, and he was almost speechless, his eyes fixed on the white spider monster that stood up and danced frantically not far away.

He picked up the hunting knife in his hand tremblingly, and with the last strength, handed it to Zhou Jing's arms.

Grab your knife and fill my place...

Dean didn't say anything, but Zhou Jing understood what he meant.

Zhou Jing subconsciously held the hunting knife handed by Dean. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

Dean's palm suddenly loosened and fell powerless.

I can't feel my breath...

Zhou Jing looked down at Dean who stopped breathing, then turned to look at the crazy white spider monster not far away, his heart was beating violently, and his memory flashed back like a marquee.

His life in the past 20 years has followed the life trajectory prescribed by society and lived step by step.

Reading, studying, taking exams, graduating, unemployed...

Never like today, facing life and death up close and personal experience life-threatening battles.

Crude, savage, bloody... but with a certain kind of inexplicable vitality.

It seems that at this time, I feel that life is alive, not a walking corpse trapped in life gradually becoming numb.

The monster that has the ability to take his own life is just a dozen meters away, so close, he is in danger at any time, and it seems that he should be afraid, timid or withdraw.

But he suddenly found that he didn't have such emotions at all... just like facing the Earth Skeleton a few nights ago.

——Not only was he not timid, he even became faintly excited!

The most difficult thing in the world is to know oneself. No one dares to say that they know oneself completely until they have experienced all the things in the world.

After experiencing different things, you may make actions that even you can't believe, and discover your potential to sleep quietly in a certain area.

No fear, no cowardice.

Just the simplest...don't be afraid.

There is no reason, there is no consideration... If you are not afraid, you are not afraid!

"So this is me..."

Zhou Jing whispered to himself.

The hand holding the knife tightened sharply.

The excitement pumped by adrenaline swept through every nerve! !
