Astral Apostle

Chapter 34: revenge mechanism

   Chapter 34 Vengeance Mechanism

   Hearing that, everyone had no objection, but told Zhou Jing not to go too far, but no one was worried about what would happen to Zhou Jing's actions alone.

   Zhou Jing left the team, walked in the forest for a while, stopped in a seemingly uninhabited forest, glanced around, and said, "Come out."

   As soon as the voice fell, a figure quietly turned out from behind the tree, it was Ross, walking without a sound.

   Zhou Jing stepped up and held his shoulder, read the follower's experience log, and soon received a lot of images.

   Over the past three months, Ross has finally developed some fighting skills, mastered the skills of several weapons such as daggers and short knives, and also learned the craftsmanship of blacksmithing.

  Although they are all at the beginner level, but with the strengthened physical fitness, they can already come in handy, and it can be regarded as a combat effectiveness.

   However, Zhou Jing has not told others about Ross getting the enhancement of the different blood, and it is usually not revealed. In the eyes of others, Ross is still the original little transparent.

  Because Ross's strengthening direction is good at stealth and moves silently in the forest, Zhou Jing let Ross be around the crusade team and secretly search for the target without telling everyone.

   The video of the follower showed that Ross found the Earth Skeleton Marauder wandering in the forest, but the other party didn't notice him, so he quietly retreated and came back to report.

   Zhou Jing looked at Ross speechlessly.

   "You've already found their raiding team, why didn't you follow them to find the location of the lair? You should report back now. When we find it, their raiding team has left that location, okay?"

  Ross: (o_O)

   "...Well, blame me, I didn't tell you clearly."

   Zhou Jing supported his forehead.

  Although he has some combat power, this follower is still stupid. If the order is a little more complicated, it will be impossible to handle it, and it will not adapt to changes and highlight a rigidity.

   Zhou Jing shook his head and gave new instructions:

   "Now go and squat where you found the Earth Skeleton, try not to be seen, and wait for me to find it."

   With the positioning in his mind, Ross is very suitable to be a marker eye position for pathfinding. It is because of this ability that he thinks that Ross can be used as a scout or guide, and he can take him to crusade the Earth Skeletons.

   Hearing that, Ross didn't say a word, turned his head and left, quickly disappearing into the forest.

   Zhou Jing turned around before returning to the team.

   "What did you find?" Balon looked over.

   "Not yet." Zhou Jing shook his head.

  The crowd didn't take it seriously, and after checking the neighborhood for a while, they continued on their way.

   Zhou Jing didn't say it directly, but he led the way secretly, and repeatedly suggested that the team change the direction of advance and secretly move towards Ross's location.

   Everyone has no opinion on Zhou Jing's proposal. Anyway, there is no clue at the moment, and they will go wherever they go.

   It didn't take long for everyone to reach the vicinity of Ross's location, and finally found the traces left by the Earth Skeleton looting team in the forest, and they were all overjoyed.

   There is a mess of footprints in front of you, and a lot of people can be seen, extending into the deep forest.

  Balon squatted down, twisted a handful of dirt on the footprints with his fingers, and said in surprise:

   "The footprints are still relatively new. It seems that the Earth Skeleton raiding team passed by here not long ago."

  Weiss was refreshed: "How do we say, are we following behind, or are we going up to catch a few live openings and use it to lead the way?"

  Balong pondered for a while, then turned to look at Zhou Jing: "What do you think?"

   "Go straight up to catch someone."

   Zhou Jing did not hesitate.

   They are a lot of people, and they are not strengthened by Ross, and they are easy to be found when they follow them.

   And you have a limited time to put in, so save some if you can.

   Hearing the words, Baron had no objection, waved his hand and led the team to chase after him.

  …

  The crowd ran all the way forward, and the footprints left by the skeleton people in front of them became more and more new.

   Soon, the figure of the Earth Skeleton Man appeared in the forest in front of him, about a dozen people.

  The Earth Skeleton Marauder also heard the movement behind him at this time, and issued an urgent whistle. He looked back, and when he saw the crusade team, he screamed and shot without saying a word.

   A rain of arrows came flying!

"kill!"

   The enemy was extremely jealous when they met, Baron roared, raised his battle axe to block in front of him, and rushed out like a bull.

  The arrow slammed into the face of the axe, and the impact was scattered.

   Zhou Jing stomped his legs and rushed out like a cheetah. He suddenly pulled out the double knives from his waist. His eyes moved quickly to lock on arrows that threatened him.

   Today's physical fitness and swordsmanship are enough to match his fighting instinct and block all arrows.

  Dangdangdang—

   The light of the sword danced out like a barrier, and the arrows and rainwater couldn't get in.

   He sprinted forward, and the distance quickly narrowed, the Earth Skeleton's terrified expression magnified in his sight.

   Zhou Jing dragged his two knives and plunged into the pile of skeletons.

   brush brush brush —

  The light of the knife shone like a tornado.

   Instantly rolled up the stumps and broken arms in the sky!

   Zhou Jing's movements were swift and he shuttled through the crowd like a phantom. The hasty attacks of the Earth Skeletons had no threat to him. In his eyes, he was as slow as a snail.

The    dual knives are precise and stern, almost without blocking, directly grabbing the shot in front of the Earth Skeleton, cutting the opponent's neck, arm or waist when the opponent just takes an attacking stance.

   brush brush brush —

  Where the light of the knife passed, the Earthgulls fell like mowing grass.

   Occasionally, the weapons collided, and Zhou Jing's powerful double knives directly smashed the Earth Skeleton's weapons together.

Three months later, the hunter workshop finally finished making the equipment. The double knives that Zhou Jing used at this time were made of fused metal after special treatment of the claws of the split-claw bear. They were stronger and stronger than ordinary standard weapons. Not to mention the shoddy equipment of the skeletons.

  The bearskin armor with fur collar inherits the characteristics of the split-claw bear. It is difficult for ordinary slashes to penetrate, providing superior defensive performance.

  Zhou Jing rolled up a storm in the pile of skeletons, and killed it so smoothly that it shattered the opponent's formation.

  He cut off the throat of one of the Earth Skeletons with a knife, and at this moment, the panel suddenly flashed.

  ["Will Wood" (Apostle No. 001) the culprit of death has been executed]

  [Complete Revenge]

  [This time, the career evaluation of the astral apostle has been slightly improved]

  [A certain ability of "Will Wood" can be inherited for free...Test result, no uninherited ability yet]

  [Trigger the achievement [Vengeance must be repaid]! ]

  [Milestone [Avengers] Progress: 1/5]

   "Huh?" Zhou Jing was slightly startled.

an eye for an eye? I can't find this item in the achievement list, it seems to be a hidden achievement, and it is the first time I trigger it.

   Having said that, the Earth Skeleton who was killed just now was the direct murderer of "Will Wood".

   It seems that there is a special reward for revenge for the last astral apostle...

  Hoo!

   At this moment, a bone spear stabbed in the face.

   Zhou Jing quickly returned to his senses, stabbed his left knife, cut off the arm of the enemy holding the spear, and then stabbed his right knife forward, penetrating the enemy's eye socket and going straight through the back of his head.

   He picked up the enemy's body and threw it to the side with all his might, knocking over an Earth Skeleton man who came up next to him, and the flying celestial cover and the red-and-white brain shower splattered all over the ground.

   Zhou Jing calmed down, did not continue to be distracted to check the panel, and focused on solving the enemy in front of him, and Baron and others also came in at this time.

   Zhou Jing alone could not stop the Earth Skeleton raiding team. At this time, Balong, Weiss and the others joined the battlefield, and instantly crushed the Earth Skeleton raiding team to the ground.

  Ten soldiers from Baiyuan City formed a simple battle formation, and they had a solid basis for advancing and retreating. Although they were not as crushed as the three alien beast hunters, they still fought steadily, killing all the approaching Earth Skeletons like a meat grinder.

   After only a few minutes, the battle was over, and dozens of Earth Skeleton raiders lay on the ground.

   Only a few Earth Skeletons were left intact. They were tied together by the crowd, their faces full of terror, and they were screaming.

  Balon looked at the corpses all over the ground, and felt a sigh of anger. He turned his head to Griff and said, "Go and interrogate these survivors, and let them take us to the lair."

  Griff nodded and complied. Although they didn’t understand the language, they had dealt with the Earth Skeletons, and sign language was enough to communicate, and they spoke with a knife, so they didn’t worry that the Earth Skeletons couldn’t understand what they meant.

  The hunters of Frostwood Village will not be soft-hearted to the bones of the earth, so how can they be worthy of their dead companions.

   Zhou Jing did not participate in the interrogation, but wiped the long knife aside and shook his head secretly.

  I used to think that the Earth Skeleton was very difficult, but now it is easy to solve, maybe I can just play it alone, it is a complete crush.

   Although the abuse of vegetables is quite hearty, but Zhou Jing has no turbulence in his heart.

  Although he is getting used to killing now, he doesn't have much interest in it. What he likes is the back-and-forth battles, the intense and exciting fights with powerful enemies, that will make him excited.

   "It doesn't make sense to abuse vegetables... It seems that I have some Berserker genes."

   Zhou Jing smacked his lips, opened the panel and carefully pondered what was triggered just now.

   After fumbling for a while, he confirmed that there is a "revenge mechanism" for the astral apostles.

   When an astral apostle dies artificially, and you use the follow-up astral apostle to avenge it and kill the murderer, you will trigger this mechanism and get special rewards.

   First, it can improve the career settlement evaluation of the current astral apostle, regardless of death settlement and customs clearance settlement.

   The second is that you can get a new "free inheritance slot" like a death settlement, and get a certain ability of the death star apostle.

  Because of the ability of "Will Wood", the current "Jason Wood" has inherited, so it did not take effect this time.

   The third is to trigger a special achievement. [Vengeance must be repaid] is a repetitive achievement. It can be triggered once every time you complete revenge for an astral apostle.

  The rewards are variable, depending on the strength of the Death Star Realm apostle and the strength of the murderer, different amounts of rewards will be given.

   And the [Vengeful Retribution] that was triggered this time only gave 500 Astral Points, which is not much. It is estimated that "Will Wood" is not extraordinary, and the enemy is just an ordinary Earth Skeleton.

   In addition, every time you complete [Vengeance must be repaid], the progress of the milestone [Avengers] will be accumulated, and this milestone can be triggered by completing five times in total.

  Zhou Jing is also the first time to trigger a milestone. This thing is a special type of achievement. It takes several completions of related behaviors to truly trigger it. The rewards are generally richer than the usual achievements.

   "In this way, if every astral apostle dies, this achievement can be triggered very quickly..."

   Zhou Jing thought for a while, then shook his head and laughed.

   After thinking about it, he had no intention of dying, and felt that the time cost was not worth it.

   He is not humble either, he always feels that there are still plenty of opportunities for him to burp in the future.

   "You don't have to force it, just accumulate it slowly."

   Zhou Jing shook his head.

   At this time, the interrogation of the Earth Skeletons was over, and two more survivors were killed. Finally, the remaining Earth Skeletons who were afraid of death learned to cooperate.

   "Let's go." Baron greeted Zhou Jing.

   Hearing this, Zhou Jing put away his long sword and followed.

  …

   Following the Earth Skeleton who led the way, the group carefully groped forward.

  People won't completely believe the enemy, they keep an eye out for fear of being led into any trap.

   Until the red clouds filled the sky, the crusade team finally arrived at the entrance of the skeleton man's lair.

   This is a hole in the ground hidden behind the vines, which is very confusing. If you don't look carefully, it is easy to ignore the past.

  The crowd hid in the woods not far away, hiding their figures, and looking at the hole in the distance with their probes.

   They have searched around the area, and quietly settled the several Earth Skeleton outposts near the entrance of this lair.

  Baron shrank back, felt his beard and pondered: "I don't know how many people and how many traps are in the den of the skeletons. We rush in and we may encounter danger."

   "It makes sense." Weiss nodded: "Then you can take the lead."

   Everyone turned to look at him silently.

   "What are you looking at? I'm just here to help, you shouldn't let me rush in first, right?"

   On the other side, Griff thought for a while, and suggested: "How about we set fire to force the Earth Skeletons out?"

   "That's fine." Baron nodded.

  The crowd soon prepared a large pile of dry wood and began to burn the hole in the ground.

   Zhou Jing also has no opinion, and does not intend to give everyone the awareness of protecting the environment and preventing wildfires.

   A fire lit up in the hole, and there was a commotion inside.

   Soon, Wu Yangyang's Earth Skeletons poured out. At a glance, there were no less than a hundred people, tall, short, fat and thin, all of them holding weapons.

  The people hiding around are preparing to start.

"Roar!"

   At this moment, a roar of a strange beast suddenly came from the cave.
