Astral Apostle

  Chapter 17 I beg God to give me a strong man!

  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, wrinkles on his face, and his hands are covered with calluses from the use of agricultural tools all year round.

  Griff made it clear on behalf of Zhou Jing, 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 protective power."

  Across the table, the village chief rubbed the back of his hand and said 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.

   is a bit weird... Zhou Jing narrowed his eyes.

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

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

   He couldn't help but think 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 moment, the village chief sighed and shook his head:

   "Baron said that your younger brother is very talented, and 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 moved in his heart.

   "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 "Diao Da Shen"...

   Zhou Jing squinted 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 moment, 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 straightforwardly: "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, every hunter is very 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:

   "Hunters need years of training. It's not a matter of time. I urge 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, and there is no 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, he got up and came behind Griff, holding the chair with both hands, and exerting force violently.

   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.

   - "Jason Wood" has a physical fitness of 10 points, which is higher than the previous apostle. It is as light as nothing to lift a person. 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 astonished.

   "Why are you like this too?"

   "No way, our Wood family's ability is strong, gene... cough, good blood!"

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

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

   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 thought 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 a good hunter, I will take you to see Captain Balon now!"

   "Okay." Zhou Jing naturally had no objection.

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

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

   said, the village chief turned his head to look at Ross, who didn't say a word, and asked curiously, "What about your companion? Does he want to be a hunter too?"

   "Well, let's talk about this."

   Zhou Jing is ambiguous.

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

   After all, in terms of combat, Ross, the whiteboard, should not be of much help in a short period of time, so 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.

   "Another sunny day... The injury should recover faster."

  Balon 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 are curious about the alien hunter, and have hinted more than once that they want to drill into the barn with him, Baron is generally not shy, and most of the time uses exercise to develop his strength.

   In his eyes, a real alien hunter should never pursue power and wealth or priority mating rights, 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 beast hunter has become more and more impure…

  Baron sighed secretly.

   Those who have obtained alien blood enhancement are just 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 against alien beasts, receive long-term training, and finally participate in a successful hunt to be considered a master, and only then can they be qualified to call themselves "extraordinary beast hunters".

  In the wild era, 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, it integrated some of the training methods, trained more alien hunters, and then assigned them to solve the threats of alien beasts in various places under its jurisdiction, or to stay in certain territories.

   But Baron is not this "Imperial Hunter", he is another.

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 the alien blood potion and became a free hunter. This is also a common situation, just like the imperial hunter. It is one of the mainstream alien hunter groups.

  Freelance hunters or expatriate imperial hunters occasionally meet 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 are always 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.

   is really a good seedling!

   That is the most talented person he has ever seen, absolutely one-of-a-kind genius, and his personality is 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 made people, Will this genius was just discovered by himself, and he died quietly before he had time to shine in the world.

   Such excellent seedlings are gone!

   Where can I find such a good one? !

   I beg God to give me another strong man!

  Baron sighed in his heart.

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

   Among them, Griff is an old acquaintance, but the latter two are unfamiliar faces that have never been seen in the village.

   "Captain Baron, how are you recovering?" 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.

   One has no features, like a fool.

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

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

  Balon was taken aback: "Wood? Could it be..."

   "He's Will's brother."

  Griff nodded.

  Balon's eyes widened suddenly, his shocked expression was exactly the same as Griff when he first heard 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's a psychological effect, he feels that the facial features of the two are more and more similar.

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

   Zhou Jing saw that he might have misunderstood his intention, and smiled heartily on purpose, saying:

   "You're Baron, right? 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."

  Balong 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, and I am very proud of your death. But the 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.

   Those words came to his heart!

   Just appreciate it!

   has the same temper as me! It seems that it is also a thing that is used to flying big bricks!

  Balong 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 in one hand and picked it up.

  “???”

   Griff, whose feet were off the ground, was full of question marks.

  Balong 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.

   What a strong body!

   What feed did these brothers eat to grow up?

  Leave Will, here comes a Jason... Could it be that the naive 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 is it?" 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 know this question!

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

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

   muttered to himself for a while, then he suddenly made up his mind, looked at Zhou Jing, and looked forward to it:

   "Would you like to... be an alien hunter?"

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

"Of course!"

  …

   (Thanks to the leader of Fengling Xiaoyi!)
