Astral Apostle Chapter 36: The storm and the plan
Zhou Jing was in shock.
He wouldn't be surprised to see this anywhere in the Overworld, but is this another plane? How can things from the main world appear here? !
The first thing to be sure is that this thing is not brought in by myself, this pattern is Hein's national emblem.
Hein is another member of the "Seven Summits" in the Interstellar Commonwealth, and his nationality is the Red Republic, not the same country.
Hein's national emblem appeared in the alien world, and the people representing the main world should have come a long time 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 he has never read any relevant words or phrases after surfing the Internet for so many years.
'What's going on here? ’
Zhou Jing's heart was up and down.
What kind of mechanism does your astral shuttle panel locate in this world?
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 my mind.
Zhou Jing thought that only an outsider, himself, 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 figure it out.
Thinking of this, Zhou Jing suddenly felt a little fortunate.
It didn't take a long time to get the astral shuttle panel by myself. Fortunately, I was used to it.
Still controlling his own desires, he did not act recklessly in an unfamiliar world just because he got this opportunity.
If you are unscrupulous, maybe unpredictable things will 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 tell."
I don't know what's going on, he doesn't plan to reveal his knowledge of the main world.
Although he is not using the body, 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 trophy.
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?
Was this group of Earth Skeletons the one who killed the 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 skeletons were thrown in and cremated, and there was no room for questioning.
Tsk, everyone's hands are too fast...
There are only two corpses of tyrannosaurs left in the field. These things are alien beasts. They can be sold for a sum of money when they are sent to the Hunter's Workshop in Baiyuan City.
The tyrannosaurus that Balon and Weiss dealt with was not killed. It lost its treasure and also lost its fighting spirit. It was lying on the ground during the entire 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, Weiss did not kill him, and planned to ride it back to White Plains and sell it.
Also, gelding beasts are easier to tame... Whis's fighting style is not just a personal preference, but also economical, the result of his careful consideration.
Wes thinks his play is pretty smart anyway.
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, and everyone thought he was still indulging in revenge for his younger brother, so they didn't bother to talk.
…
Two days later, when everyone walked out of the black-shirted forest, Shuangki Village by the river came into view.
Seeing the familiar sight, everyone relaxed.
"It's finally done."
Baron is in high spirits.
Not only did the Earth Skeleton take revenge for his comrades, but he also recovered the battle axe he had used for many years.
At this time, 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 Wes.
Weiss didn't need to open the bag, just weighed it a little, and knew the weight of two hundred silver silver coins, and immediately smiled.
"Hey, the thing I like most about you is that you give money easily...even though it's my money."
"Anyway, thank you very much this time." Baron nodded in thanks.
Although it was a money hire, Whis agreed to do so out of sympathy. After all, hunters are not really short of money, and Baron doesn't feel like spending money. People should help him. The simplicity of this world Ideas are less about money.
"Small things, in fact, Jason is enough. He is strong to that point. I just came to help."
Weiss waved his hand in disbelief, then turned over and mounted the Tyrannosaurus... to be exact, Tyrannosaurus (Mother).
"I'll just leave when I'm done."
"Don't go back to the village to rest?" Griff asked.
"No, the two Tyrannosaurus carcasses are not very fresh anymore. We have to bring them back to Baiyuan City quickly, or the selling price will drop again..." Weiss said, then smacking his lips: " And there's nothing to play in your village, 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 round of drinks."
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 skeleton man's lair, which quickly spread throughout the village.
Groups of villagers were so excited that they put down their farm work and rushed over. They surrounded the hunters, 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 problem has been solved once and for all. Dangerous, the villagers were extremely happy and praised several people.
"Oops, thanks to Captain Baron, this problem is solved."
"Fortunately we have you stationed in our village!"
Numerous villagers praised it.
At this time, Baron raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then took 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.
Although I have instructed Zhou Jing, but people learn so fast, that is also their ability. In just half a year, they have surpassed their own combat power, and only then can they take revenge on the Earth Skeletons in such a short period of time.
Otherwise, the problem would have plagued them for a long time.
When many villagers heard this, they nodded, looked at Zhou Jing, and praised enthusiastically.
"Jason Wood" has been in Frostwood Village for half a year, and the villagers are familiar with him. The folks 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 time, Reiner squeezed out from the crowd and looked left and right: "Where's Uncle Weiss?"
"He's back in the city." A hunter called out.
"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 my father is fine." Reiner scratched his head.
"Children." Griff didn't care, and smiled and hugged Reiner.
Reiner turned 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: "..."
Wait, I've been thinking about the national emblem for the past two days, so I said I seem to have forgotten something!
I 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.
...Fortunately, it seems that this follower is not that stupid. He can't wait for anyone, and he knows that he will come back.
"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.
Griff watched Zhou Jing leave in a hurry, shook his head with a smile, suddenly remembered something, took out Hein's national emblem from his arms, handed it to Reiner, and said with a fond 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.
…
On the other side.
Zhou Jing followed the positioning for a while, and found Ross by a small river some distance from Shuangmu Village. This is where he first 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.
When he found someone approaching, he turned his head silently, hugging his knees and looking 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 the embarrassment, touched Ross's head, and read the follower's experience log.
Ross's experience in the past two days was quickly read. 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 by the discovery of Hein's national emblem, and his mind was all over it, but he forgot to call him halfway through.
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.
With an expressionless face, Rose stood up and followed Zhou Jing as usual.
I'm even more ashamed of you...
Zhou Jing scratched his head and took Ross back to the village.
Back in 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 run the Astral Apostle, and to arrange his own code of conduct 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 accustomed 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.
And the solution is actually ready-made, and that is to play the "characteristic" of an astral apostle in depth, not just to brush the synchronization rate.
The more I get into the play, the harder it is to show my original habits.
The world of alien beasts is quite dangerous, 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 it, you may not be able to gain anything. Usually, it's enough to pay more attention... Now the most important thing is the clearance of the astral apostles, which is more substantial. income.”
Zhou Jing's mind is certain, and he can distinguish the primary and secondary contradictions.
…
I was speechless all night.
Early the next morning, before Zhou Jing got up, there was a knock on the door.
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 that 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 way advantageous.
Baron nodded, hesitating and hesitating.
Zhou Jing noticed Balong's expression and felt strange:
"What are you trying to say? It's not like you are so squeamish."
"Okay...I mean, we've 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 the revenge is 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 say it...
Zhou Jing thought for a moment.
Balong 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 in Frostwood Village, so now he is asking himself about his plans?
"What you want to ask is, will I still stay in Frostwood Village?"
Zhou Jing didn't even bother to talk about him, but directly challenged him.
Baron was silent for a while, but without answering directly, 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 garrison hunter..."
At this time, 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, kill more More exotic beasts~IndoMTL.com~ Are you driving me away?" Zhou Jing was surprised, he didn't expect Balong to have such an attitude.
"That's not true, I'm just making suggestions." Baron shook his head, then smiled heartily: "Of course I'd be happy if you stayed."
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 my identity as a hunter to see more. This world, I don't want to hide this from you."
According to his plan, before the second reinforcement, he will naturally stay near Baiyuan City, but he will not stay here forever.
This is just a corner of the world of alien beasts. There are still too many unknown areas to explore. He still wants to know more about this world.
Hearing this, 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, seeing all kinds of people and things, and finally chose to settle in this remote corner of the world. It is stationed here for the elderly.
Every alien hunter should have such an experience, and I support you.
Only after a journey can a person find the destination he really wants to stay. "
"...I will remember."
Zhou Jing nodded lightly, 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?"
When the villager saw that the two were calling him, he immediately stopped and replied:
"Captain Baron, Jason, is the harvest team from White Plains City."
