Astral Apostle

  Chapter 36 The Storm and the Plan

   Zhou Jing was in shock.

   He wouldn't be surprised to see this thing anywhere in the Overworld, but this is another plane, right? How can things from the main world appear here? !

   The first thing that can be determined is that this thing is not brought in by himself, this pattern is Hein's national emblem.

  Hine is another member of the "Seven Summits" in the Interstellar Community, and his nationality is the Red Republic, not the same country.

  Hain's national emblem appeared in the alien world, and the people representing the main world should have been there long ago.

  The question is, in what way did it come? Has anyone crossed over in history? Or some other way?

   And does the overworld know about this? If so, at what level do people know?

   Anyway, Zhou Jing can be sure that for so many years of surfing the Internet, he has never read any relevant words.

'This is how the same thing? ’

   Zhou Jing's heart was up and down.

   own astral shuttle panel is positioned to this world, what kind of mechanism is it?

  Is it random...or was it located because of some kind of entanglement between the alien world and the main world?

  What is the connection between the main world and this plane?

   A lot of questions came to mind.

   Zhou Jing thought that this plane was only an outsider who had come to this plane, but now he suddenly discovered that the star world traveled through this pool of water, which seemed to be deeper than he imagined.

   Originally, he was thinking about whether to transfer the knowledge of the main world and carry out some technological reforms, but now it seems that this idea must be put on hold.

  You can't make a fool of yourself until you understand the situation.

  Thinking of this, Zhou Jing suddenly felt a little fortunate.

  I got the astral shuttle panel by myself. It was not too long. Fortunately, I was used to it.

   is still in control of his own desires, and he did not act recklessly in an unfamiliar world just because he got this opportunity.

  If you are unscrupulous, unpredictable things may happen...

   At this moment, Griff noticed that Zhou Jing had been staring at the badge, and asked curiously, "Jason, do you know this badge?"

   Zhou Jing reacted immediately, his thoughts flew away, he looked away, and shook his head.

   "I can't recognize it either."

   I don't know what the situation is, he doesn't plan to reveal his knowledge of the main world.

   Although he is not using the body now, but the body of the astral apostle, wearing a vest that cannot be seen through, he still intends to be careful.

   "Since no one knows it, let's leave it alone."

  Griff shrugged and threw the Hein coat of arms back into the loot.

   Zhou Jing turned his eyes to the pile of scattered spoils, his eyes flickered slightly.

   Let's not talk about how this national emblem came to the world of alien beasts... The question is how did this thing appear in the den of the Earth Skeletons?

   Is this group of Earth Skeletons who once killed visitors from the main world? Or did someone in a looted caravan collect the badge? Or was it simply picked up?

   Zhou Jing's thoughts flew around, and then he looked at the burning lair, feeling a little helpless.

   All the Earth Skeletons were thrown in and cremated, and there was no room for questioning.

  Tsk, everyone's hands are too fast...

  The only corpses left in the field are two Tyrannosaurus corpses. These things are alien beasts after all. They can be sent to the Hunter Workshop of Baiyuan City and can be sold for a sum of money.

   But the Tyrannosaurus that Baron and Whis dealt with was not killed. It lost its treasure and also lost its fighting spirit. It was lying on the ground during the whole battle, and it was lying on the side whimpering at the moment.

   A living Tyrannosaurus can sell for more money. Seeing that it lost its glory, Whis did not kill the killer, and planned to ride it back to Baiyuan City and sell it.

   Moreover, the alien beasts are easier to tame... Whis's fighting style is not only a personal preference, but also economical, the result of his careful consideration.

   Anyway, Weiss thinks his style of play is quite smart.

   When the lair was almost burned, everyone had sorted out the spoils, took the unfortunate soldier whose head was shot, and then pulled the corpses of the two tyrannosaurs on their way back.

   Zhou Jing went back with everyone.

   He was taciturn on the way, with a preoccupied look. Everyone thought that he was still indulging in the emotion of revenge for his younger brother, so they did not talk to him.

  …

   Two days later, when everyone walked out of the black-shirted forest, Shuangki Village by the river came into view.

   Seeing the familiar scene, everyone relaxed.

   "It's finally done."

  Baron was in high spirits.

   Not only solved the Earth Skeleton's revenge for his companions, but also retrieved the battle axe he had used for many years. He was in a good mood at the moment.

   At this moment, Weiss leaned in front of him and rubbed his fingers, meaning it was self-evident.

   "Are you in such a hurry?" Balon laughed, took out the purse from his arms and threw it to Weiss.

  Weiss didn't need to open the bag, just weighed it a little, and knew the weight of 200 Terra silver coins, and immediately smiled.

   "Hey, what I like most about you is that you give money easily...even though it was originally my money."

   "Anyway, thank you very much this time." Baron nodded in thanks.

Although it was a money hire, Whis agreed to a certain degree of affection. After all, hunters are not really short of money, and Baron would not feel that they spent money. People should help themselves. The simple concept of this world is not so money above all.

   "Small things, in fact, it's enough to have Jason around. He's already strong to that point. I'm just here to help."

  Weiss waved his hand indifferently, then turned over and mounted the Tyrannosaurus... to be exact, Tyrannosaurus (Mother).

   "When things are done, I'll just leave."

   "Don't go back to the village to rest?" Griff asked.

"Don't go, these two Tyrannosaurus corpses are not very fresh anymore, you have to bring them back to Baiyuan City, or the selling price will drop again..." Weiss said, and then smacked his lips: "And your village has nothing to do with it. You can play, I kind of miss the soft **** of the hotel maid."

   "Okay, okay, then get out of here." Balon scolded with a laugh.

   "Hmph, I'm too lazy to care about you, remember to come to the tavern to find me some money... Those guards, take the two tyrannosaurs back to the city with me, and I'll invite you to the tavern for a drink."

  Weiss pouted and drove the Tyrannosaurus (mother) away. The nine soldiers of Baiyuan City hurriedly followed with the two Tyrannosaurus corpses and walked away together.

   Only Zhou Jing, Baron and Griff and other Frostwood Village hunters were left in the field.

   A few people crossed the small bridge and returned to Frostwood Village. They brought back the news of the destruction of the Earth Skeleton's lair, which quickly spread throughout the village.

   Groups of villagers were very excited, they put down their farm work and rushed over. They surrounded the hunter team, curious to find out the details, and they were overjoyed to hear that the Earth Skeletons were no longer a threat.

This den of skeletons has always been a hidden danger in Shuangmu Village, but it has always been difficult to solve. Many petitions to the lord have been unsuccessful. Originally, the villagers of Shuangmu Village felt that they would live in the den of skeletons for a long time, but now this danger has been solved once and for all. They were very happy and complimented several people.

   "Oops, thanks to Captain Baron, this problem is solved."

   "Fortunately we have you stationed in our village!"

  Many villagers praised it.

   At this moment, Baron raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then grabbed Zhou Jing's shoulder and said loudly:

   "Everyone, if it wasn't for Jason, we wouldn't have solved the Earth Skeleton so quickly. His credit is just as great."

  Baron didn't want to take credit, and he thought so too.

   Even though he had instructed Zhou Jing, he was able to learn so quickly, and that was his ability. In just half a year, he had surpassed his own combat power, and only then could he take revenge on the Earth Skeletons in such a short period of time.

  Otherwise this problem will bother them for a longer time.

   After hearing this, many villagers nodded, looked at Zhou Jing, and praised him enthusiastically.

   "Jason Wood" stayed in Frostwood Village for half a year, and the villagers became familiar with him. The folk customs here are simple and they have long regarded him as their own.

   "Needless to say, I'm just avenging my brother." Zhou Jing once again used this excuse.

   At this moment, Reiner squeezed out from the crowd and looked left and right: "Where's Uncle Weiss?"

   "He's back in the city." A hunter spoke up.

   "Ah...he didn't even say goodbye to me." Reiner was lost.

   "Stinky boy, you patronize your Uncle Weiss, don't you even care about your father?" Balon said angrily.

   "I've seen that father is all right." Reiner scratched his head.

   "Children." Griff didn't care, and smiled and hugged Reiner.

  Reiner turned his head to look at Zhou Jing, and suddenly asked curiously, "Uncle Jason, why haven't I seen Uncle Ross recently? Did he get lost?"

   Zhou Jing: "…"

  Wipe, I have been thinking about the national emblem for the past two days, and I said that I seem to have forgotten something!

   Forgot to call Ross back on the way!

   Zhou Jing's eyes twitched slightly, and he quickly checked the location, but found that Ross did not stay in the Black Shirt Forest, but returned to the vicinity of Shuangmu Village.

​

   "He may be playing around, I'll go look for him."

   Zhou Jing was vague, took the opportunity to escape from the crowd, and slipped away alone.

  The crowd did not stop him.

  Griff watched Zhou Jing leave in a hurry, shook his head with a smile, suddenly remembered something, took out the national emblem of Hein from his arms, handed it to Reiner, and said with a loving smile:

   "By the way, I brought you a present."

"Wow! So beautiful."

  Reiner's eyes were immediately attracted by the beauty of Hein's national emblem.

  …

the other side.

   Zhou Jing followed the positioning for a while, and found Ross by the river some distance away from Shuangmu Village. This is where he originally summoned Ross.

  I saw Ross squatting on the bank of the river. I don't know how long this position has been maintained, and a layer of floating dust has accumulated on his head and shoulders.

   found someone approaching, so he silently turned his head, hugged his knees and looked up at Zhou Jing.

  Ross: (o_O)

   I don't know if it's an illusion, Zhou Jing seems to see a little grievance from the pair of big and small eyes.

   Zhou Jing coughed to hide his embarrassment, touched Ross's head, and read the follower's experience log.

   Ross's experience in the past two days was quickly reviewed. At first, he followed Zhou Jing's instructions and waited at the position where he first discovered the Earth Skeleton, acting as an eye position.

  But when the group solved the return journey of the Earth Skeleton Man, Zhou Jing was shocked when he found the national emblem of Hein, and his mind was all on it, and he forgot to call him halfway.

  Ross squatted there obediently for another day and night.

  It wasn't until Zhou Jing's position was far away that Ross took action and ran out of the black-shirted forest all the way.

   Because the crusade team brought trophies and prey, his speed was much faster, and he returned to the vicinity of Frostwood Village earlier.

   So Ross silently returned to his "birthplace", waited obediently, and planned to find him easily when Zhou Jing remembered it.

   "Uh, sorry... I almost forgot about you."

  Zhou Jing was a little embarrassed.

  Ross was expressionless, stood up, and followed Zhou Jing as usual.

   You are so whole, I am even more ashamed...

   Zhou Jing scratched his head and took Ross back to the village.

   Back to the house, it was already evening.

   Zhou Jing casually instructed Ross to cook, and sat down at the table by himself, pondering over the past few days.

   After two days of relaxation, Zhou Jing was no longer shocked when he first saw Hein's national emblem.

   He felt that this doubt could not be answered for the time being, so he suppressed it in his heart and decided to investigate this matter secretly as a target of action.

   But for now, the most important thing is to manage the astral apostles, and to arrange his own action rules in this situation, he has some ideas.

   "Pay attention to your usual behavior..."

   Zhou Jing pondered to himself.

   He felt that before figuring out the connection between the main world and this plane, he still had to hide himself, not only relying on the appearance of the astral apostle to disguise, but also pay attention to his usual behavior.

  Although he is used to keeping a low profile, before that, he was somewhat casual with people in the alien world. Now he should pay attention to this and try not to show the habits of the main world.

The solution to    is actually ready-made, that is, to play the "characteristic" of an astral apostle in depth, not just to brush the synchronization rate.

  The more you get into the play, the harder it is to show your original habits.

  The world of alien beasts is quite dangerous in itself, but at this moment, in Zhou Jing's eyes, there is another layer of mysterious mist.

   "The clues in the main world are hard to come by, and if you deliberately check them, you may not be able to gain anything. It's enough to pay more attention... Now the most important thing is the clearance of the astral apostles, which is a more substantial benefit."

   Zhou Jing was determined to distinguish between primary and secondary contradictions.

  …

   was speechless all night.

   The next morning, before Zhou Jing got up, there was a knock on the door.

   duh duh duh…

   "Who came to see me so early in the morning?"

   Zhou Jing got up and opened the door. Seeing that it was Baron who was visiting, he invited Baron to enter.

  Baron walked in with a concerned tone:

   "Jason, I saw you were very worried the other day, how are you?"

   "I'm fine...just miss Will."

   Zhou Jing shook his head, and once again offered up his "younger brother" who was in no position to benefit.

  Baron nodded, hesitant to say anything, a little hesitant.

   Zhou Jing noticed Balong's expression and felt strange:

   "What are you trying to say? It's not like you being so squeamish."

   "Okay...I want to ask, we have avenged Will, what are you going to do next?"

  Baron's tone was tentative.

   Hearing this, Zhou Jing suddenly understood what Baron meant.

  The main reason why he stayed in Frostwood Village was to avenge his "younger brother".

   Now that his revenge has been successful, there seems to be no reason to stay.

   Maybe when he was in the forest two days ago, Baron wanted to ask for a long time, but he misunderstood that he was thinking about his younger brother, so he didn't speak...

   Zhou Jing thought for a second.

  Baron cultivated himself, in addition to the tradition of alien hunters, he may also have the meaning of cultivating successors. It seems that he wants to replace him and stationed in Frostwood Village, so now I want to ask my plan?

   "What you want to ask is, will I still stay in Frostwood Village?"

   Zhou Jing didn't care about him either, but directly challenged him.

  Baron was silent for a while, without a positive answer, he spoke slowly:

   "I taught you at the beginning, I did have some ideas to strengthen the hunters in the Baiyuan City area, and I also hoped that you would stay in Frostwood Village and become the second stationed hunter..."

   At this moment, Baron suddenly changed the conversation:

   "But now, maybe it's not the best option."

   Zhou Jing raised his brows: "What do you mean?"

  Baron shook his head and said sincerely:

"In the past six months, I have seen your talent, maybe your future should not be in such a remote place... If you travel to other places, you can become stronger, protect more people, and kill more aliens. beast."

   "Are you driving me away?" Zhou Jing was surprised, not expecting Baron's attitude.

   "That's not true, I'm just making suggestions." Baron shook his head, then smiled heartily: "Of course, if you stay, I'll be happy too."

Hearing this, Zhou Jing pondered for a while, without concealing it, and said, "I will stay here for a while, but in the future, I should go to other places and use the identity of a hunter to see the world more, I don't want to hide this from you."

  According to his plan, before the second reinforcement, he would naturally stay near Baiyuan City, but he would not stay here forever.

  This is just a corner of the alien world, there are still too many unknown areas to explore, he still wants to know more about this world.

   Hearing the words, Baron laughed, without hypocrisy, and said in a sincere tone:

"Don't worry about me, your idea is normal... Before I was stationed in Frostwood Village, I also lived a life of traveling around and saw all kinds of people and things, and finally chose to settle in this remote corner of the world, planning to stay here for the elderly. .

   Every alien hunter should have such an experience, I support you.

  Only after a journey can a person find the destination he really wants to stay. "

"…I will remember."

   Zhou Jing nodded slightly, touched, and a little ripple appeared in his heart.

   At this moment, there was a loud noise from the direction of the village entrance, and villagers ran past from time to time outside the window.

   The two were taken aback for a moment, then opened the door and stopped a villager.

"What happened?"

   The villager saw that they were calling him, so he stopped immediately and replied:

   "Captain Baron, Jason, the food harvesting team from White Plains City is here."
