Astral Apostle

Is this coming to life?

Is it a coincidence, or is life in White Essence City so exciting?

Zhou Jing was frightened secretly.

Baron's face tightened, put down his wine glass, and quickly explained.

Although the empire of Terra was founded forty years, the strange beasts in the human settlement area were expelled and partly cleared, but strange beasts often broke in.

Sudden occurance like this happens occasionally. Many strange beasts have an unstable range of activities. Sometimes strange beasts may run into areas where humans live. They may be foraging or by mistake. The fortifications of towns exist to a large extent to deal with strange beasts.

The sentries set up around the town are responsible for detecting this situation.

Once a strange beast is found, an early warning will be issued, and rewards and information will be issued to the tavern for hunters to choose.

If the strange beast poses a direct threat to the town, such as approaching the town, the lord will immediately recruit the hunters in the city to fight together and kill the threat.

The few people didn't care to continue chatting, and surrounded the guards with the hunters in the tavern and asked about the situation.

"What is the strange beast?"

"Where are they? How long will it be?"

Zhou Jing arrived for the first time, did not speak, wait The other hunters asked again, and he also learned the details from the panicked guards.

Not long ago, the sentry sent an emergency report, saying that two high-risk strange beasts had appeared around the town. They had killed a caravan and were heading towards White Essence City. Pedestrians on the road were in danger. Become a great threat.

The two high-risk strange beasts are both powerful and defensive bear species, and they are called cleft claw bears.

There are many kinds of high-risk strange beasts. It is recognized that the most troublesome are three types of creatures. One is speed to the pinnacle, the second is to control a certain element, breathe fire and spit ice, and the last one is Extremely skin is rough, flesh is thick, and claw bears are the third category.

"Both are split-claw bears. I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with this time...How many of us can use it?"

Weiss is not frivolous anymore, his expression is serious.

A hunter spoke: "We are only seven people here, there should be a few hunters in the city, and I saw Webber a few days ago."

"Webber also In? That's very good." Weiss quickly exhales one breath saying.

Zhou Jing's heart moved.

When he was reading the roster just now, he deliberately remembered the names of three secondary enhanced hunters, and this "Webber" was one of them.

At this time, the guards hurriedly urged:

"The fief lord is gathering troops at the city gate. Hunters, please hurry up and meet. Other hunters in the city have also been notified. "

"Okay, let's go first."

Many hunters have no objection, rushing out of the tavern and moved towards city gate.

Zhou Jing also followed the team, poked at Baron with a serious face, and asked in a low voice:

"Is the lord's summoning of the hunters mandatory?"

"Of course not..." Baron shook his head in a solemn tone: "But in the face of the strange beast threat, we have never backed down. This is our duty. If we don't even fight, who else can Against strange beast?"

"Understood."

Zhou Jing gently nodded, I have a better understanding of the concept of hunters.

The strange beast hunter, this profession is ancient and glorious, pays attention to dedication, risking life to gain strength, fighting for his life to hunt, all in order to protect the peaceful life of more people.

It's pretty reliable.

At this time, Baron sighed, exhorting: "didn't expect there will be such a sudden occurance. I originally thought that when you got used to your strengthened body, I would go find a low-risk strange beast to practice hands. , But it seems that there is no time now...

Although your strengthening results should be good, but you have not practiced physical control, it is enough to follow our pace when hunting, don’t mess around, With the destructive power of the Cleft Claw Bear, if you hit it correctly, two or three hits are enough to severely damage the hunter."

In his opinion, even with the extraordinary natural talent, Zhou Jing gains stronger power through heterogeneous natural talent. But it also needs a process of adaptation.

Baron was not afraid that Zhou Jing would not be able to perform, but worried that he was confused by the sudden surge of power and miscalculated the strength gap between himself and the strange beast. This often happens to novice hunters.

And these veterans, they know very well that they have several points of abilities, know the strength of various strange beast attacks, and know how many strikes they can carry. It seems adventurous but they all know well.

It's just that, although Baron felt Zhou Jing was not ready, he would not advise him not to participate in this hunt just because he took care of Zhou Jing.

In his opinion, no matter the novice or veteran, as long as it is a strange beast hunter, unless you really lose the battle strength, you have no privilege not to participate in the battle.

"I will see the situation." Zhou Jing nodded.

Although I have only gained extraordinary power, I feel very fresh, but I also know that the strength of this power is limited, and I adjusted my mentality last night.

However, hunting down the high-risk strange beast is exactly one of the goals of this Astral Apostle, and he does not refuse this crusade.

Furthermore, Zhou Jing thinks this is a good opportunity. It is better for a bunch of people to encircle and suppress than to hunt alone.

Although he has no hunting experience, based on his past experience of playing games, he can also draw a simple truth

——It is definitely not as good as grabbing the head!

……

Everyone hurried to the city gate all the way, which is already quite lively.

A large number of soldiers assembled here, roughly over fifty people have been swept away, they are carrying all kinds of trap tools, busy in a frenzy.

A middle-aged man in luxurious clothes is surrounded by several guards, patrolling the troops anxiously.

Seeing the hunters coming, this middle-aged man smiled immediately and turned his head to greet the hunters, loudly said:

"Hunters, you are finally here! White Essence City needs your help!"

"Fief lord, this is our business."

The hunters nodded their salute, neither humble nor arrogant.

This person is the Lord of White Essence City that Baron said, Rut Crowe?

Zhou Jing moved in her heart and quietly looked at the lord in the crowd.

Large stature, strong features, good facial features...looks quite decent, more like a warrior than a lord.

Both sides know each other’s responsibilities, Lord Rut didn’t say anything, he said directly:

"This time it is still the same. You are responsible for blocking the two strange beasts in the middle, even if you can’t kill them. Death, and try to hit them hard. And my troops will use the sentry fortifications to arrange some traps and ambushes. You need to delay enough time and don't let them get close to White Essence City so quickly. If possible, wait for us to arrange them. If you get the trap, you drive them to the trap location."

Rut quickly explained the tactics.

To fight the strange beast head-on, you still have to rely on hunters, and ordinary soldiers generally do not enter the battlefield directly, but do some fortifications or assistance.

Because the ordinary person is basically in vain in front of the high-risk strange beast, it might be unhelpful.

And on the battlefield, once the hunters did not contain the strange beast and were rushed into the crowd by them, it would be a massacre, which could cause tragic casualties to the army.

It is very expensive to train a well-trained and equipped soldier. If it is not desperate, it will rarely use unnecessary casualties in exchange for victory. It is still very fragrant to rely on hunters.

This is especially true for the Cleft Claw Bear. The skin is rough and flesh is thick. It is difficult for ordinary soldiers to break the defense, and it has no meaning to participate in the frontal battlefield.

Many hunters are used to this situation and have no objection.

"When the threat is resolved this time, as before, there will be no loss of your rewards."

Rut promised the reward, did not continue to say more, and then hurried back to continue. Gather your own army.

He just talked about a general strategy, and hunting tactics are specifically formulated by the hunter, and he will not point fingers.

Zhou Jing didn't talk to each other, just silently observing.

The strange beast hunter present is not very courteous to the lord, but it is also polite.

However, many hunters were cold-eyed towards the taciturn guards around the lord, and made no secret of their contempt.

Zhou Jing moved in her heart, thinking of what Baron said when she entered the city, and immediately poked Baron beside her.

"The few people around the lord are the xenoblood warriors who have been pulled over?"

"Yes, these are the choppy and cowards. See you, they are following the lord , You don’t have to fight with the Slitclaw Bear like us." Baron sipped to the ground.

hearing this, Zhou Jing reconsidered the xenoblood warrior guards.

They are preparing for battle here, and the guards are also following the lord. They don’t need to work hard, they can stay behind and wait for them to solve the crisis...

Think about it like this , It is indeed irritating... Zhou Jing understands the upset of this group of hunters better.

Suddenly, he perceives a movement, vaguely aware of the gaze of others.

Zhou Jing turned to look around, and finally found that a silhouette was exposed in the wall stack on the city wall, which seemed to be looking down here.

He looked up and found a blank-faced man standing on the city wall. His appearance was stiff, his face was indifferent, and his head was reserved. He had an inexplicable sense of ethics.

This flat head man with his hands on his back, he has a feeling of calm as water and high as a moutain. He looks down at the city gate that is busy gathering to fight against the strange beast, but he seems to be out of the picture. .

At this time, the flat head man also noticed Zhou Jing's gaze, and glanced at Zhou Jing with a cold look, then turned his head and left, disappearing on the city wall.

"This person..."

Zhou Jing blinked, a strange feeling arose in her heart.

For some reason, he always feels that the style of this flat head man is a little different, as if it is incompatible with other people.

Moreover, this person does not participate in the assembly of the army, and he can overlook the city wall. He probably has a bit of status in the town... I don't know who it is.

Although Zhou Jing felt strange, she didn't have time to inquire. Everyone had begun to discuss tactics, while other hunters in the city were coming one after another.

Soon, the number of strange beast hunters present reached twelve, and this was all the manpower involved in this crusade.

Among them, there is only one senior hunter with secondary enhancement, and that is Webber.

As soon as he arrived, other hunters handed over command to him to determine tactics.

Webber is a tall macho, with the highest altitude in the audience. At first glance, it is at least two meters tall. His muscles can't wait to grow up to the cheeks. The whole person is like a muscle that has become fine.

He is wearing a set of gray and black animal bone armor, carrying a giant blade like a door, and the texture is like a mixture of strange beast bones and steel.

"The two claw bears broke through a few traps arranged by the sentry post, and left no injuries. They were very fast. When we arrived, they were not far from White Essence City, probably not. Time to set up an ambush trap, you can only fight a head-on encounter."

Webber drew out the dagger, drew out patterns on the ground, and used it as a simple sand table, said solemnly:

" Claw bears have long physical strength, amazing strength, tenacious fur, and extremely difficult to deal with. Two sharp claws can easily tear the steel armor. One accidentally will be severely injured. I once killed one with six other hunters, and we sacrificed two. They will be killed by one person.

And this time the two claw bears come together, it is very dangerous. It is best to separate them, contain one of them, and then attack the other, kill one first, otherwise we Unstoppable."

Many hunters have nodded.

Although the lord said to delay as much as possible, the most ideal result is naturally to kill the strange beast and remove the threat. They will withdraw only when there is nothing to do.

Webber inserted the dagger back into its sheath, looked around at the crowd, and said calmly:

"So we have to divide into two teams, one with more and one with a small number, one is responsible for containment, the other Responsible for the main attack. The pressure on the team that is pinned down will be very high. They must try to ensure that the cleft claw bear pinned down will not affect the battlefield of the main attack squad... So I have to know your respective strengthening directions to be equipped Team."

The hunters on the scene basically know each other and know each other, but they say it again.

Soon it was the turn of Zhou Jing, the new face, and everyone looked over.

Some hunters who are not in the tavern, this is the first time I have seen Zhou Jing, and I have been curious since just now.

Baron introduced directly to the side: "His name is Jason Wood, the person I discovered, just received strengthening yesterday, and the medicine he took was Lightning Leopard."

"I just strengthened yesterday. Newcomer?"

Webber frowned, then let go, and said solemnly to Zhou Jing: "Then you participate in the main attack squad, and pay attention to it after fighting. You don’t need to worry about other things, you just have to swim alone. Go, don't affect the cooperation of other hunters, just look for opportunities to cause damage."

After speaking, he ignored Zhou Jing and continued to talk about tactics with everyone.

Because Zhou Jing is a newcomer who has just strengthened, Webber is worried about his instability, so he dare not give too many responsibilities and tasks to marginalize his position and prevent mistakes from affecting more people.

This is such is human nature. Zhou Jing has no opinion on this. He himself intends to follow the arrangement and participate in serious hunting.

In addition, Ross has also strengthened the success. He has not told others, and at this time he has not let Ross participate.

Although this entourage has certain attributes, his combat skills are a whiteboard, and now participating in the eight hunting achievements is a snack for strange beasts.

He would rather let Ross stay near the battlefield, waiting for opportunities.

'speaking of which, the level of the second enhancement, just to see...'

Zhou Jing's eyes moved, because he had a conversation with Webber just now, and he could spend 10 astral points Check the other party's attributes.

He manipulated it, and the Webber attribute popped up on the panel.

[attribute: Physical 32, Resistance 29, Wisdom 15, Spirit 7, Energy 0]

"The attribute for the second strengthening is still higher..."

Zhou Jing is secretly nodded, and has a position on his own level.

My current attribute happens to be stuck between the first enhancement and the second enhancement, surpassing the former, but has not yet reached the latter, but the gap is not very large.

In actual fighting, it shouldn't be crushed on the attribute depends mainly on the operation.

Soon, the hunters divided their teams, focusing on squad eight people and pinning squad four. Webber took over the most stressful pinning task, and Zhou Jing, Baron, and Weiss were all in the main attack squad.

On the other side, Lord Rut also assembled his army, moved towards everyone nodded and said:

"White Essence City is up to you!"

Webber nodded, beckoned to the hunters, shouted in a deep voice:

"Go!"

……

Not long after, twelve hunters Far away, the town's army was also dispatched under the leadership of officers.

At this time, in the city gate, only Lord Rut and some guards around him are left without going to the battlefield.

Rut watched the two troops go away before walking back to the town.

When passing by the city gate, a silhouette walks down the stairs next to the city wall. It is the flat head man who was watching on the city wall before.

When he saw this, Rut waved his hand to let the xenoblood warrior guard by his side walk away, and don't overhear the conversation between the two.

The flat head man greeted him, speaking in a stiff and weird northern dialect, indifferently said: "You are really lucky, two claw bears, it is estimated that you will lose half of the hunter."

p>

Rut looked around and saw that the guards were far away, then frowned and said:

"The hunter may not be able to solve it this time, you need to do it."

flat The head man shook his head with an indifferent expression: "This is not within the scope of my duty."

Lord Rut rolled his eyes and said solemnly: "But if the protection of the town suffers a huge loss, it is not in your interest. Right?"

"That has nothing to do with me. I only listen to the orders of my superiors. My task is to take over with you and protect your safety, apart from this, as long as your town is not The attack by the man, the other things have nothing to do with me."

The flat head man was expressionless.

"How much do you take away from me each year? Now I am in trouble, but I am unwilling to help? With your skills, it is easy to solve the two claw bears, right?!" Lord Rut voiced dissatisfaction .

The flat head man's tone didn't make any waves, he said slowly:

"Don't be unsatisfied, wait until your town is really attacked. We will make an agreement with the person you are loyal to The cooperation conditions of the company do not include solving this kind of small trouble...I said, I only follow orders."

After speaking, the flat head man turned and left decisively.

Rut looked at his leaving back, his face gloomy and uncertain.
