Astral Apostle Chapter 31: Win
Upon hearing Weber's order, the main attacking team immediately turned to help Weber and the others deal with another split-claw bear.
After solving the pressure on the first bear, there was no suspense in the process of the twelve hunters besieging and killing the second split-claw bear. They cooperated skillfully and used their rich experience to kill it.
Zhou Jing didn't take the risk to face him this time, instead he cooperated with the other hunters and fought steadily. In the end, everyone only paid the price of serious injuries to two of them.
Boom!
The second Cleftpaw bear, battered and bruised, fell, shaking the ground.
The hills used as the battlefield are full of ravines shoveled by the Cleft Claw Bear, and the hunters are also covered in dust and mud, somewhat stained with blood.
Seeing that the prey was dead, many hunters stopped their movements, their tense nerves relaxed, exhaustion emerged like a tidal wave, and they lay down on the ground in an instant.
"Huh... finally killed these two stupid bears, my hands are almost worn out."
"Gou Ri's strength is so great that it almost broke my old waist."
Everyone gasped.
The most tiring has always been the power players who compete head-on, and everyone is injured.
Baron sat down on the ground, his hands and feet trembling, and the blood that had spewed out before had condensed on his beard, forming dark red knots.
It was still too much for him to fight the high-risk beasts.
Zhou Jing only needs to roam and output, and doesn't need to be an MT. He only has minor injuries from scratches on his body. In comparison, he is the group of people who are in the best condition.
He walked up to Baron, couldn't help raising his hand to scratch Baron's shiny bald head, and asked with a smile, "How are you, are you okay?"
"Don't touch my head, I won't die anyway."
Baron slapped Zhou Jing's hand away.
Immediately, he raised his head to look at Zhou Jing, with gratification and admiration in his eyes, and his tone was emotional:
"Your performance exceeded my expectations. Thanks to you, we have no dead people... If you hadn't killed one of the two split-claw bears quickly, maybe we would have sacrificed three or four people."
"A matter of duty." Zhou Jing waved his hand.
"It seems that I told you not to take risks before. I underestimated you. Your strength has far surpassed mine."
"I felt I could do it, so I did it." Zhou Jing replied in a deep voice without explaining too much.
Baron smiled, and then said earnestly: "However, I still want to remind you that if you don't have enough confidence in the future, don't take risks like today, or you will form this habit, and you will be finished if you miss one day."
"I will remember."
Zhou Jing nodded.
Baron can be regarded as his guide, and the relationship between the two is naturally closer. Although neither of them mentioned the titles of teacher and apprentice, they actually have a similar relationship. Compared with others, Baron is sincere. For his sake.
Regarding Baron's instructions, although he may not follow them, he will never ignore them.
During this hunting crusade, Zhou Jing probably figured out the limit that his strengthened body could reach, understood his own combat power, and recalibrated the actual effect of the current attribute value in his cognition.
At this time, many hunters got up and surrounded the two prey, as if they were thinking about how to deal with them.
Seeing this scene, Baron pouted in the direction of the hunters, and said to Zhou Jing:
"You have made a lot of contributions this time, and you should have the right to prioritize the loot. Go over and discuss it with them. By the way, get to know your new comrades-in-arms. From now on, you will be an official beast hunter, and you must fight side by side with them. "
"Okay, I'm going."
Zhou Jing nodded, then turned to walk towards the hunters gathered not far away.
Looking at Zhou Jing's back, Baron suddenly stopped Zhou Jing.
"Jason!"
"Huh?" Zhou Jing stopped and turned around in doubt.
Baron gave a thumbs up and grinned boldly: "Hahaha, you will definitely become an excellent hunter in the future!"
Hearing this, Zhou Jing smiled, nodded in greeting, and then continued to move forward.
Behind him, Baron laughed silently, feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
This person, I did not make a mistake.
Jason Wood... maybe this will be the best hunter he has ever taught.
Zhou Jing walked to the prey, and the hunters gathered here saw him coming, and immediately pulled him to their side, their attitude was much more enthusiastic than before.
He was just a novice hunter before, and everyone didn't pay much attention to him, but after seeing Zhou Jing's combat power in this hunting, everyone realized that this man was not a simple novice, he seemed very powerful, and suddenly He paid attention to it.
For a beast hunter, he can only be respected if he proves his strength, courage and hunting results.
Weber was also in the crowd. He immediately greeted Zhou Jing, nodded and said in a deep voice, "Jason, you have contributed a lot this time. Without your performance, our situation would be very troublesome. You should choose the spoils first." Let's go."
Hearing the angry voice, Zhou Jing couldn't help but take a look at Weber.
This person led the containment team and endured more pressure, but the injuries on his body were much lighter than those of Baron and others. The body brought about by the second strengthening made Weber's endurance and recovery power superior to others.
Zhou Jing did not refuse, looked at the corpses of the two prey, and asked curiously: "How is the general spoils divided?"
Weiss immediately regained his energy, jumped out immediately, and said excitedly:
"Oh, by the way, Jason is a newcomer and doesn't know the rules yet. Let me explain to him... In this kind of group hunting, we usually discuss the disposal plan based on contribution and credit. After all, such a large prey can There are too many materials used, and it is impossible to give all of them to one person. Generally, everyone decides the parts they want, first determines the needs, and then sends them to the workshop before dividing them."
"Then I understand." Zhou Jing understood.
At this time, Weber interjected: "The sharp claws of the Crackclaw Bear are a good material for making weapons, and his fur is also suitable for making better leather armor. These two values are the highest."
"Of course, if you choose a bear's paw to take home to eat, we have no objection." Weiss teased.
Zhou Jing couldn't help but glance at him.
I always feel that if Weiss is asked to choose the spoils of war, this person might choose a bear whip and take it home to replenish his body...
After all, if you don't have a little love, how can you practice such a well-professed crotch-cutting technique?
Zhou Jing shook his head, thinking about Weber's suggestion.
The Cleft Claw Bear's sharp claws are indeed tough, and it has only broken a few small gaps after fighting head-to-head with everyone for so long. The thick fur and skin have strong impact resistance, and they are all very good materials. The equipment must be much better than the ordinary equipment on his body.
"Okay then, I want to use its sharp claws to make two cuts, and by the way, use its fur to make a pair of armor."
Zhou Jing expressed his needs.
As for the different blood potion, this is a quota given by the workshop, and there is no need to allocate it specially, mainly to see how many different blood potions can be made by the workshop with two split claw bears.
He has just finished strengthening himself, and he does not plan to strengthen it again for the time being. Although this is one of the "life goals" for clearing the level, he feels that he needs to be safe.
Moreover, he still owed Baron a debt, he thought it would be better to pay it off first.
Hearing this, everyone nodded their heads one after another. Such a request is very reasonable, and the materials for the two split-claw bears are completely sufficient.
Everyone immediately turned to Weber. According to his contribution, Weber's choice of spoils must be ahead of others.
"I don't need the materials, just give me an extra copy when you sell them."
Waver waved his hand, serious.
Immediately, he turned his head to look at Zhou Jing, and said in a deep voice: "Jason Wood... your strength is very good, it's hard to believe that you are just a rookie who has just completed strengthening, in short, if there is any hunting opportunity in the future, I will I will consider calling you."
After fighting just now, Weber found that Zhou Jing was stronger than ordinary single-strength hunters, so he didn't plan to treat him as a rookie.
In the entire Baiyuan City, there are only three hunters who have been strengthened twice. Every additional reliable character is a good thing for Weber. important.
Hearing this, other people also responded one after another, saying that they would call Zhou Jing to hunt together when they had the opportunity in the future.
Zhou Jing responded one by one without refusing.
Knowing that he was recognized by the hunters active in Baiyuan City, and integrated into the hunter's circle, let everyone remember his name.
Not long after, everyone discussed the distribution of the spoils, arranged for Weiss to run errands, and informed the soldiers in the rear that there was no need to continue setting traps, and called for some people to come over to help transport the prey back to the city.
Zhou Jing also went to the side to rest, and only then did he have the leisure to open the panel and glance at the message that had been flashing.
[Trigger the achievement [First Kill of Alien Beast - High Risk]! ]
[Obtain 1000 astral points, [Quality Improvement-Physical (Small)] x1, [Quality Improvement-Resistance (Small)] x1, [Attribute Improvement-Physical (Small)] x1]
[The goal of life [hunting high-risk animals] has been completed]
[Get 30 information state particles]
[Current apostle constant standard progress: 30/110]
When the apostle killed the white spider monster last time, it triggered the achievement of killing a medium-dangerous beast for the first time, and the achievement of killing a high-risk beast for the first time naturally also had achievements, and the rewards were increased on the basis of the former.
Zhou Jing took a look, and continued to save the rewards for improving qualifications and attributes in the achievement warehouse. There is no need to use them at present.
In order not to cause waste, he thought about it and decided that it would be better to be sure that an apostle can pass the level, or that an apostle's template is extremely valuable, and then use this kind of achievement reward.
Accumulating achievements rewards Brother Die, and he feels more effective.
Speaking of customs clearance, this time K head completed one of his "life goals", and the 30 points of information state particles he harvested advanced the progress of customs clearance.
"Speaking of which, every time you complete a life goal, you can get information state particles, but do the rewards for all life goals just meet the clearance standard, or not?" Zhou Jing felt a little confused.
According to the definition, information state particles are resources that can only be obtained when the astral apostles have different effects on the current plane.
He has not yet gained from daily activities and achievements, and is not sure how far he will need to go to generate such resources.
The most important acquisition channel at the moment is to complete the "life goal".
……
Not long after, the Baiyuan City army rushed over with tools, and with the help of the hunters, slowly dragged away the two extremely heavy corpses.
Many hunters met the two strange beasts in the evening and transported the prey back to Baiyuan City. It was already late at night.
Lord Root greeted them at the city gate, and when he saw the crowd returning, he immediately greeted them.
"Thank you for your hard work, on behalf of Baiyuan City, thank you for your efforts!"
Wei Bo shook his head: "There's no need to talk about politeness, let the people in the workshop handle the prey first... I'm afraid such a big corpse won't fit into the city gate."
"Of course, I have already ordered."
Lord Root waved his hand, and let the hunter workshop personnel who had been waiting to start working, disposing of the Cleft Claw Bear's body on the spot.
After finishing this, Lute turned his head and looked at the status of the hunters secretly. When he found that no one was damaged, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
No one died? Was the hunt going so well this time?
Root was a little puzzled, but it was more of a surprise. In any case, it is a good thing that the hunter is not damaged.
Seeing that many hunters were still in good condition, he rolled his eyes and said:
"Everyone solved the threat for the town. It's worth celebrating. It's just late at night, and you haven't eaten for hunting. I want to host a banquet to entertain everyone. By the way, we can discuss the reward. I don't know if you have the time?"
Hearing this, many hunters looked as usual.
Every time there is an urgent crusade against alien beasts for the town, the lord will always host a banquet to entertain them and establish a good relationship with them. Everyone is used to it.
"I plan to go back to recuperate, so I won't attend the dinner party."
"I'm hungry, let's have a meal."
"The lord invited me, it's inappropriate not to go, haha."
Everyone had their own ideas, and in the end it happened that six hunters accepted Root's invitation.
Zhou Jing was not yet familiar with the situation in Baiyuan City, so he naturally did not refuse.
While Webb and Weiss also accepted the invitation, Baron didn't go, expressing that he wanted to go back to heal his injuries.
A group of people followed Lord Root and soon came to the Lord's longhouse in the center of the city.
The lord's longhouse in Baiyuan City is a small four-story castle. Everyone came to the banquet hall on the first floor and sat down at the long table.
While waiting for the food to be served, Lu pulled the crowd to chat, and learned about the hunting process and the contribution of Zhou Jing, a newcomer.
Root picked up the wine glass and greeted with a smile: "It turns out that our town has a new beast hunter, Jason, thank you for fighting for Baiyuan City."
Zhou Jing was not quite used to this kind of occasion, so he casually said "This is my duty".
Lord Root took a sip of his wine and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, I've never heard of your surname Wood. I don't know which tribe you are blood relatives from?"
Zhou Jing's expression was calm.
Sure enough, he knew that he had a genuine tribal blood relative, so he definitely wanted to ask this question, but this time he met a knowledgeable one...
According to the environment in which the aristocrats originated in the early days of this world, this is trying to trick him, to see if he is a real "noble".
Zhou Jing was very calm: "I knew from the first day that being a beast hunter would also have to be interrogated for his background. So does the beast hunter also know his background?"
For this kind of knowledgeable true tribal blood relatives, the more explanations, the more error-prone they are, and it is difficult to win people's trust, so he made up his mind not to explain... As long as he has the identity and credit of the hunter as an endorsement, he doesn't want to say it. Nothing will happen.
Lord Root was taken aback for a moment, then he laughed and dropped the topic.
"No, I'm just curious."
He saw that Zhou Jing didn't want to talk. Although he was curious, it was impossible to force a hunter who had just solved the threat of alien beasts for Baiyuan City to speak, so he stopped asking.
Soon, the servants brought the food, and many hunters were also hungry and devoured it.
While eating slowly, Lord Root discussed the reward with Weber and set the amount~IndoMTL.com~ In addition to the reward for submitting the prey in the workshop, as the Lord, he will also provide each hunter with an additional one hundred Thai The reward for pulling silver coins.
After all the calculations, the lord will give 1,200 silver coins, which is a huge amount of money.
It's just that Zhou Jing curled his lips secretly... the wool comes from the sheep, the lord who holds the right to collect taxes, the hunters take the money to spend in the city, and the money will eventually flow back to the lord, so there is a generous person Emboldened.
But at least they were willing to give money, and they were not too picky. After getting along with him for a short time, Zhou Jing's impression of Lord Root was not bad.
This world doesn't have too much nightlife yet. There is a curfew in towns and cities at night. A dinner is very simple, and the hunters are more pragmatic. They leave after eating.
Zhou Jing was also about to leave, but Lord Root stopped him on purpose.
"Jason, I have something I want to talk to you about."
"What's the matter?" Zhou Jing turned around curiously.
Lord Root said slowly: "I just heard from them that you are a free hunter trained by Baron. In the future, do you plan to stay in Baiyuan City or Frostwood Village for a long time?"
"It depends on the situation. In short, it's activities in the surrounding area." Zhou Jing replied ambiguously.
"I hope you can stay in Baiyuan City. With your skills, you don't have many opportunities to play in Shuangmu Village."
"Really?" Zhou Jing frowned: "Shuangmu Village is also a village under your rule, you don't seem to care too much?"
"It's not that I don't care. As a lord, I have the responsibility to protect Shuangmu Village... But Baiyuan City has a larger population and is more important. I can only allocate limited manpower to the town first."
Lord Root explained it again, paused, and finally showed his true intention:
"Actually, I want to hire you as my personal bodyguard."
