Astral Apostle

  Chapter 8: Hidden Combat Talents

   "It's going crazy, get out of the way!"

   "Avoid avoidance, don't be greedy for knives!"

   "Don't let it find a chance to escape!"

  Baron and the remaining six still capable hunters continued to circle around the White Spider Monster, daring not to be distracted at all.

   As an experienced old hunter, you can’t be distracted by the casualties of your companions. Continuing the battle is the best thing you can do for your fallen companions.

   The seriously injured white spider monster went into a state of madness and became even more dangerous. The giant claws swept out bursts of suffocating wind pressure, forcing everyone to avoid them in embarrassment.

  Balong’s nose and mouth bleed constantly, and even his body that had undergone an alien blood enhancement was still scarred by frequent collisions.

   If he hadn't drank the hunter's potion that relieved pain and continued excitement before the battle, he would have been exhausted by now.

   "Without three people, it is difficult to cooperate and inflict heavy damage on the White Spider Monster. It seems that we can only endure it and see who will die first."

  Balon's mind turned sharply and analyzed the battle situation.

   At this point, they still have the possibility of defeating them all... But hunting alien beasts is not a simple matter. The battle changes rapidly, and a mistake or a failure to respond will lead to serious consequences. There is never a risk-free hunting.

   Just as everyone made up their minds to delay, a figure suddenly rushed into the battle circle like a gust of wind, ignoring the giant claws swept around, and rushed straight towards the White Spider Monster.

  Balong and others were taken aback.

  Which of the wounded companions returned to the light? So fierce!

   In the next second, everyone saw that it was Zhou Jing, and their expressions changed.

   Isn't this guy playing in the tree, when did he jump down?

   Even if this guy is very strong, he has never practiced!

   Although he looks very handsome in front of him, are you really not afraid of death? !

  …

  tap-tap-

   Zhou Jing was holding a hunting knife in his right hand and a dagger in his left hand, and strode towards the mad White Spider Monster.

   The vicious aura rushed towards his face, Zhou Jing had no fear in his heart, only the excitement brought by the surge of adrenaline.

   This life-and-death situation made his attention highly concentrated.

this moment

   The world seems to slow down

   Even the slightest movement of the white spider monster was caught by the eyes, as if there were ghosts emerging from it, making the next move.

   All predicted!

  The wind pressure hit the face, and the giant claws quickly enlarged in sight.

   Neck, short, roll over!

boom! The giant claws slammed into the original position, splashing a large piece of soil.

   Get up, run two more steps, and flick sideways!

boom! The giant claw failed again, by a tiny margin.

   Zhou Jing dodged several times in a row, his strong physical strength supported him to complete the operation, and escaped the frantic claws of the White Spider Monster.

   His gaze landed on the vital abdomen of the White Spider Monster, which had been heavily wounded many times, where blood was already pouring out.

  I rushed up myself, not for scraping and pedicure...

  The key points are all hurt like this, let's go up and make up!

   Be a sliding shovel Tianzun today!

  Balong's pressure lightened, watching Zhou Jing's unskilled but just right dodging, his eyes widened and his heart jumped.

   He could see that Zhou Jing's dodging was a little unfamiliar, but he was always able to predict the White Spider Monster's attack intentions and set aside time for dodging.

   It's not like you've practiced... Is it relying on instinct to fight?

   This is not only a matter of physical fitness. Some people may be physically strong and have received certain training, but even so, their minds are still blank in actual combat, and they have forgotten any skills.

   There are also some people who have a keen insight into the elements of battle even if they haven’t practiced it before, and know how to use their advantages to deal with opponents, as if they were born knowing how to fight.

   "This person has such a strong fighting talent?!"

  Balon has seen many alien hunters, and has gone through countless training and actual combat before he has the basic fighting skills, but he has never seen a person with such outstanding fighting talent.

   It works!

  Because Zhou Jing avoided several attacks while approaching, the White Spider Monster couldn't help distracting himself and wanted to stop him.

   There is a play!

  Balon's eyes lit up, and suddenly he shouted violently, grabbing the handle of the axe in one hand and the face of the axe in the other, and slammed into it.

  Boom!

   The white spider monster staggered.

"Chance!"

   Zhou Jing's eyes lit up.

   Eat My Faith Slider!

brush-

  Zhou Jing seized the opportunity and shoveled from the side. The sliding force brought by his strong physical fitness kept him from stopping halfway.

   passed directly under the belly of the white spider monster, and slipped out from the gap of the other arthropod leg, the sliding shovel was picturesque.

   "Zhi!"

   The white spider monster suddenly screamed, and the abdominal sac instantly released the flood.

  The blood was mixed with a lot of strange body tissues, and it was spilled out!

   A completely open belly is like a torn bag, and it can no longer hold the stuff inside.

   There was blood hanging from the two knives in Zhou Jing's hands. When he slipped his shovel through the belly of the White Spider Monster, he pulled the two knives and opened the White Spider Monster's belly.

   In addition to the heavy damage caused by the sacrificial hunter before, this became a fatal injury!

  Successful sliding shovel!

"bingo!"

  Baron was overjoyed, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "Get out of the way!"

  Zhou Jing just got up at this moment, and suddenly the back of his head was violent, and the White Spider Monster brought mad hatred and returned his hand with one move.

  The huge arm swept across, zooming in rapidly in Zhou Jing's peripheral vision.

   His pupils shrank, and he only had time to turn around and fight with two swords.

boom!

   Zhou Jing felt the terrifying force in an instant, and only felt that he was hit by a truck.

   The next moment, the battlefield in the line of sight was instantly pulled away, and the whole person flew out.

   On the other side, the White Spider Monster also seemed to have exhausted his strength. He sat down with a bang, and a pool of blood gathered under him.

The    White Spider Monster kept whining, it was the end of a strong arrow, and then suffered a critical blow that made it even worse, and it was also on the verge of death. The two huge arms with infinite strength could not be lifted at this time.

  Balon's eyes flashed when he saw this, he immediately seized the opportunity, threw the giant axe in his hand, and went straight to the head of the white spider monster's unprotected head.

flutter!

The   axe blade was deeply embedded in the head of the white nerubian, almost splitting it in half.

   The white spider monster's arms fell, and there was no movement. This time, he couldn't die any longer.

   "Finally killed..."

   Zhou Jing was about to clench his teeth to get up, when he raised his eyes and saw this scene, he lay back on the ground with a sigh of relief.

   His whole body seemed to be falling apart, several bones seemed to be broken, and his internal organs also suffered from suffocation and contusion.

  Unfortunately, the panel does not have any data on health and status, you can only feel it yourself.

  Although his own resistance attribute is not high, but his physical strength is strong, it will increase some resistance to some extent, and the attack that can kill the ordinary Orion at once, but he is severely injured.

  Zhou Jing silently lay on the ground looking up at the sky, and suddenly there was a burst of relief in his heart.

   This is the first time to experience a life-and-death struggle.

  I, a law-abiding citizen who has never seen blood, dared to enter the battlefield and fight such a monster...

   The most important thing is that I have no fear at all. Instead, I feel this desperate feeling... very tempting.

   There are no distracting thoughts, as if you can put everything aside, all you need to care about is the moment that decides life and death.

   Fight with all your heart and dance on the tip of your knife.

  Indescribable pleasure, he liked it.

   Zhou Jing only learned today that he still has such a side.

   And for the first time participating in the battle, he was very calm and did not rush.

   Recalling the feeling of clearly capturing the movements of the White Spider Monster just now, Zhou Jing had a little enlightenment.

   "In terms of combat, I'm afraid I'm quite talented..."

  If there is no interstellar travel and encounter such a life-and-death battle, then you may never discover your potential in this regard.

   will not know where his true talent lies.

   At this time, Baron recovered the axe, walked over, plopped down beside Zhou Jing, raised his chin, and asked:

"Are you OK?"

   "...I should ask you this."

   Zhou Jing turned his head and glanced at him.

  Balon's appearance was much worse than him. He held the White Spider Monster head-on all the way, his hands were bloody, and his mouth and nose were still bleeding.

   "Haha, I'm just a little weak after the outbreak. This little injury is nothing. I have suffered more serious injuries than this. Hunting medium-dangerous beasts, this blood is normal."

  Baron laughed valiantly.

   Zhou Jing's face twitched.

   Is it really okay? Your ears are bleeding!

   At this moment, Baron stopped his laughter and got serious:

   "Will, you don't have to take the risk to participate in the hunt, and finally helped us. Help us to solve this alien beast faster and avoid more casualties. I have to thank you."

   Zhou Jing heard the words, supported his body and sat up, and said after deliberation:

"Needless to say, everyone is in the same situation. If you fail, I can't get out of the forest. You are willing to help me. Although it may be a big effort for you, it is very important to me. I can't hide my peace of mind. On the other hand, watching you suffer heavy casualties."

   Hearing this, Balong only felt that Zhou Jing was more pleasing to the eye, and Haha sent an invitation:

   "We are fighting side by side today, and we will be brothers in the future! I don't know where your hometown is, but Frostwood Village always welcomes you to stay. Your fighting talent is very good, and you are a good seed to become a hunter of alien beasts."

   At this time, Griff came over with injuries, he survived the battle just now, and said with a smile:

   "Will, I read you right, you really are a person you can trust, that guy Dean keeps calling you suspicious, he..."

  Griff suddenly paused, remembering that Dean had died, and fell silent.

  Although there is usually friction, the opponent is still a comrade who can deliver his back at critical moments, and he can't help feeling a little sad.

   Zhou Jing shook his head slightly.

   has only been with him for a few days, so naturally he can't talk about friendship, but he still felt a little sighed when he remembered how Dean was thinking about returning to the battlefield before he died.

   At least for these hunters, this is a reliable companion.

  Balong stood up with an axe, shook it for a while before he stood up, shook his head and said:

"Bury some dead brothers, don't let the beasts eat their bones. And remember to collect loot, take away the carapace and arm bones of the white spider monster, they are all very good materials, you can send them Go to the town workshop and make it into protective gear..."

   Hearing the words, everyone nodded, dragging their tired and injured bodies to clean up the battlefield.

   Zhou Jing checked the injury and confirmed that he should not burp because of it, so he got up with difficulty, helped dig the pit, and collected the body of the funeral hunter.

   At this time, he only had time to open the panel and glanced at the information he just brushed out.

  [You trigger the achievement [First Victory in Battle]! ]

  [You get 200 astral points! ]

  [You trigger the achievement [Participate in a hunt]! ]

  [You get 100 astral points! ]

  [You trigger the achievement [First Kill]! ]

  [You get 200 astral points! ]

  [You trigger the achievement [Kill an alien beast for the first time-Middle danger]! ]

  [You get 500 astral points! [Quality Enhancement - Physical Fitness (Small)] x1, [Attribute Enhancement - Physical Fitness (Micro)] x1]

   I had no time to pay attention during the battle, and now I know that four achievements have been triggered in a row, all of which are related to the battle.

The    astral point income adds up to 1000 points, so the astral point in his hand reaches 1305 points, and the small fat wave is a bit more comfortable.

   And these specific rewards of [Attribute Enhancement] and [Quality Enhancement] do not take effect immediately on this astral apostle, but are also stored in the achievement warehouse, and you can choose when to activate it, or use it for different apostles.

   Zhou Jing thought that his stay was running out, so he kept it in the warehouse first.

  I don't know what the return is like now. He feels that it will not be too late to arrange these rewards until he has fully explored the functions of the panel. If he uses it hastily without understanding all the mechanisms, there may be waste.

   After the prey was settled and the situation was safe, Zhou Jing was relieved and began to plan for the future.

  ‘These hunters have completed their goals, so they should take me out of the woods and go to the Frostwood Village where they are. I mean, this is an exploration of a new area, right?

   Wait until Frostwood Village, and then think about the next action. I have a friendship with these hunters who fight side by side, so I should be able to integrate into the village and inquire about the situation...'

  Being together for four days, through the descriptions of the hunters, I only have a general understanding of the world, and many details are unclear.

   When you get to a populated village, you can ask questions slowly, and then you can think about what to do next.

   Zhou Jing was digging a hole, his mind was already drifting away.

   However, at this moment, a sense of crisis suddenly appeared, and the tired mind was shaken.

   brush brush brush —

   is footsteps... dense, high frequency footsteps!

   "Be careful! There is something close...wipe!"

   Zhou Jing immediately became vigilant, but before he could finish shouting, he heard a series of whizzing sounds.

   In the next instant, dozens of arrows splashed out from the forest, attacking quickly!
