Astral Apostle Chapter 35: National emblem
Are there alien beasts in the skeletons' lair?
Everyone was startled, and quickly stopped to watch the situation.
The roars became louder and louder, and soon three different beasts of the same species crawled out of the nest.
These three alien beasts look like giant lizards, with fine brown scales and a neck like a snake. They crawl on the ground with four claws. Two of the forelimbs have wings, but they are quite atrophied and don't seem to be able to fly. look.
The most prominent feature is that the head is similar to a dragon species, and the upper jaw has two extremely long canine teeth.
"Is this... Tyrannosaurus?"
Zhou Jing's eyes moved, thinking of the strange beasts that Baron had introduced, one of them was just right.
Alien beasts are divided into many species, wolf species, bear species, bird and beast species, etc. Among them, the dragon species has the strongest average strength, and under the dragon species there is a blood branch called the sub-dragon species. Often more powerful.
But Tyrannosaurus is an exception. Although it is a sub-dragon species, its combat power belongs to the ranks of the "shame of the dragon species", and it is only a low-risk alien beast.
It looks ferocious on the outside, but in fact it's just a figure, more than two meters long, lying on the ground at the height of an ordinary person's chest.
And Tyrannosaurus is one of the few beasts that can be tamed.
At this time, the three-headed tyrannosaur had a bone chain wrapped around its neck, and was dragged by a few skeleton people, and a simple saddle was tied on its back, which was obviously domesticated.
Baron's eyes narrowed.
He didn't expect that this group of Earth Skeletons would actually support alien beasts... Although it's only low-risk, it's still an alien beast anyway, so he still has to give others a face.
Three-headed tyrannosaurus and hundreds of skeletons armed with weapons...
Baron turned his head to look at the crowd with a questioning look in his eyes, the meaning was obvious - in this case, should we go up or not?
Zhou Jing returned a look.
It's just three low-risk alien beasts, we'll get a point for the three of us, just get rid of them quickly. If you two can't do it, I can do it all by myself.
Come here, **** him!
Seeing this, Balon took a deep breath, no longer hesitated, grabbed the big axe and rushed out.
"Up!"
The group immediately rushed out of the grass and killed a group of skeletons who had just climbed out of the nest like headless flies.
Being attacked in a hurry, many Earth Skeletons had no time to organize a large-scale counterattack, so they could only fight on their own.
Some people held their bows and shot arrows, and the sparse arrows flew towards Zhou Jing and his group. Some people held bone spears and greeted them with squeaks.
Zhou Jing took the lead, opened the arrows, dragged the knife light and brushed past the several people who rushed up, without turning his head.
Behind him, several Earth Skeletons froze while holding their weapons, their necks quickly split a line of blood, and then the blood spurted wildly, and they fell to the ground one after another.
Seeing this scene, three Earth Skeletons immediately turned over and mounted the Tyrannosaurus, driving their crotch mounts to fight.
The equipment of these three people is more "sophisticated" than other Earth Skeletons, and the others are wearing tattered clothes. These three people have at least a pair of simple armor, and they hold shields and war knives in their hands. They tame Tyrannosaurus. rider.
One of the skeleton riders locked Zhou Jing and charged forward.
The dragon carriage collided head-on, creating a fierce momentum.
Zhou Jing avoids it too, with two knives in front of him, facing the leading Tyrannosaurus head-on.
There was a sudden shock in his breath, muscles all over his body, and a powerful force erupted violently.
Hunter Breath Power!
Clang!
The figure collided with the Tyrannosaurus, shaking up a circle of dust!
The huge impact force directly forced Tyrannosaurus to stop the crawling sprint, only to see two broken fangs flying upside down.
The skeleton rider was almost thrown off by inertia.
Before he could stabilize his body, Zhou Jing rolled over and landed on the back of Tyrannosaurus, kicking him straight.
The skeleton rider only had time to raise his shield.
Click!
The shield exploded instantly.
The skeleton rider flew more than ten meters across and hit the ground in a human shape, and was kicked to death in one fell swoop.
Alien blood warriors are just like humanoid beasts, their strength is far beyond what ordinary people can bear. Even without weapons, they are just as deadly with their bare hands.
The Tyrannosaurus under him struggled violently, trying to throw Zhou Jing down.
However, Zhou Jing was walking on the ground, adjusting his center of gravity as the tyrannosaur swayed, raised his two knives, slammed into the neck of the tyrannosaur under him, and then slashed in a staggered manner.
Pfft!
I saw Tyrannosaurus's head attached to its long neck and fell heavily to the ground, leaving only a huge flesh wound on its body, the center of which was the cross-section of the cervical vertebrae.
He flew off his head, apparently helpless.
Tyrannosaurus fell to the ground with a rush of blood.
It took only a few seconds to deal with a Tyrannosaurus. Now this low-risk beast with low defense and average speed is hardly challenging for Zhou Jing.
In the three months since he became an alien hunter, he spent most of his time in cultivation, and occasionally went to Baiyuan City to hang out with other hunters. He was also invited to participate in a few simple hunting missions and hunted with other hunters. I have a few low-risk and medium-risk alien beasts, and now I have some experience.
Zhou Jing turned his head to look, and saw that the other Tyrannosaurus, who had just passed by, was adjusting its direction, and wanted to turn his head and continue rushing towards him.
He put away his two knives, took off the stubborn heavy knife on his back, held it in both hands, and then held his breath.
The next moment, the feeling of being overcharged exploded in the body.
"Thunder Strike!"
Zhou Jing's eyes flashed with lightning, and he violently swung his arm and threw the heavy knife in his hand.
At the moment of the shot, the explosive force burst out!
woo woo woo
The sound of the breaking wind whistled, and the heavy sword swirled and flew with a powerful force, slamming into the body of the Tyrannosaurus.
Boom!
The part hit by the heavy knife sank in an instant. I don't know how many bones were broken, and even a front claw was broken, and it was twisted out of shape.
The Tyrannosaurus threw itself to the ground, struggling with severe pain, but could not stand up.
The Earth Skeleton rider on his back also rolled to the ground. Before he could get up, half his head was smashed by Zhou Jing, who came with a few strides, with a sprinting knee, and he was completely dead.
Seeing that the tyrannosaur was still struggling, Zhou Jing picked up the heavy knife and smashed its head like a walnut, completing the repair.
"Two kills, and one more..."
He turned his head to look, and saw that the last Tyrannosaurus wanted to ram the soldier team, but was intercepted by Balon and Wes halfway.
Baron used the axe to free the dragon cart, and he stepped back several steps, but he also forced the Tyrannosaurus to stop.
And Whis took the opportunity to make a surprise attack, stabbed the rider on his back with a spear, and picked up the baby of the Tyrannosaurus with a backhand. The movements are quite skilled.
The two of them cooperated, and the same face-to-face meeting destroyed the fighting power of a Tyrannosaurus.
A low-risk alien beast like Tyrannosaurus that needs strength but no speed, and even has average defense, is not difficult to deal with in the hands of these old hunters.
There was no suspense in the next battle. Zhou Jing and the three dealt with hundreds of skeleton people, like a bulldozer, cutting melons and vegetables quickly.
The extraordinary strength of the physical enhancement type often has a long physical strength and a considerable endurance in battle. If there are no masters of the same level, if you just want to kill them with the number of people, you will have to pay heavy casualties.
Zhou Jing silently estimated during the battle that at his own level, it would not be a problem for the Earth-Bone Man to fight one enemy with a hundred. If he gave him some time, he would be able to kill the entire group of enemies by himself, so he could simply kill them all.
And this time, there are helpers, as well as Balon and Weiss, as well as a dozen people in the crusade team.
To cause trouble for them, the number of Earth Skeletons would have to be doubled.
In this battle, only one soldier was very bad and was shot in the head by an arrow from the Earth Skeleton, and the others were only slightly injured.
Everyone filled the field to make up for the knife, stabbing the skeleton people who could still breathe one by one.
Then he organized manpower to search in the lair, and moved out a bunch of materials from the skeleton people's inventory.
Although the goal of this trip is to crusade, the spoils can still be earned by the way and cannot be wasted.
After evacuating the contents of the nest, everyone threw the corpses into the nest one by one before setting the entire nest on fire.
The beating fire reflected on the faces of everyone, and the group silently watched the nest burn.
"These Earth Skeletons have threatened the surroundings of Frostwood Village for too long. Today we finally solved it... Brothers, we have avenged you."
Griff exhaled and mourned in a low voice for the hunter who had died at the hands of the Earth Skeletons.
Baron patted Zhou Jing's shoulder and sighed: "We also avenged your brother."
"...Yes."
Zhou Jing came back to his senses and nodded.
This group of skeletons made a sneak attack and killed his last apostle. The account was settled, and he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a lot more comfortable.
He was mainly looking at the statistics on the panel just now, and two achievements were triggered during the battle, namely [Earth Skeleton Killer] and [First Kill of an Alien Beast - Low Risk].
【Earth Skeleton Killer】The trigger condition is to kill 50 Earth Skeletons and give 1000 Astral Points.
[Killing alien beasts for the first time - low risk] is more difficult, only 200 astral points are given, and there are no other achievement rewards.
However, a new milestone has been obtained.
[Milestone [True Alien Hunter] Progress: 3/5]
[Completion condition: Successfully trigger the first kill achievement of all levels of alien beasts]
[Rewards: 8000 Astral Points, 50 Information State Particles, [Quality Improvement-Comprehensive (Medium)] x1, [Auxiliary Function Upgrade] x2. When the astral apostle is an alien race, you can get a certain attribute bonus]
There are a total of five first kill achievements for all levels of alien beasts. You can unlock this milestone by completing the low-risk, medium-risk, high-risk, and the first kill achievements of the deadly and alien beasts.
But... to fight the King of Beasts?
My dear, is this milestone an alien hunter, or an alien "hunter" person?
"Even the eight-time-enhanced Raven was killed by the King of Alien Beasts. When will I be able to achieve this milestone?"
Zhou Jing wanted to scratch his head. Although the reward was good, the conditions were quite harsh.
Compared with the Astral Point reward, he is more interested in the [Accessibility Upgrade], which is very useful.
Most of the effects of auxiliary functions have some limitations, but they can be upgraded and enhanced.
For example, the [Follower Function] currently used by the "Jason Wood" astral apostle currently has only one empty slot for a junior follower. After the upgrade, 80% of the new empty slots will be added, or the level of the follower will be increased.
The same goes for other accessibility features.
The last effect of this milestone is more special.
The race and appearance of the astral apostle can be customized. Although he has not tried it, he estimates that it is also possible to shape it into an alien beast. And the astral apostles of the alien race can get bonuses... This milestone effect is quite strange.
Zhou Jing was speechless.
It seems unnecessary to squeeze the astral apostle into the shape of a beast.
And doesn't this mean that he wants to live the life of a beast?
It's not good to be a person!
Anyway, he felt that he should not have such a hobby.
Seeing that Zhou Jing was a little distracted, Balong thought that Zhou Jing was emotional after finishing his revenge and was saddened by his younger brother, so he didn't bother.
At this time, Whis rummaged through the spoils and found a battle axe from the inventory of the Earth Skeletons, shouting:
"Hey Balon, is this the axe you dropped?"
"Oh yes, it's mine!"
Baron Yixi~IndoMTL.com~ quickly took it over. It was a weapon that was lost when it was attacked by the Earth Skeletons half a year ago, and it was only recovered at this time.
Everyone was immediately interested and joined in to count the spoils together.
I just took care of moving things out and hurriedly lit the fire without checking everything carefully.
The inventory of the Earth Skeletons, many of which were looted, looked rather fragmented, like a pile of junk.
And it's been left for too long, and the nest is not very hygienic, and some things can't be seen without careful identification.
"Yo, there's a lot of money in this box."
"It is estimated that it is the harvest of looting which caravan, and the people of the earth can't spend the money."
"There are still some books here. Is it useful for them to grab this? Can they understand our text?"
The crowd counts the spoils with great interest.
At this moment, Griff took out a dusty metal badge from a pile of scraps, wiped it a little, and then snorted.
"What emblem is this?"
Everyone followed the prestige, looked at the pattern on the badge, and shook their heads.
"I haven't seen it either."
"It's weird."
"Which small clan's coat of arms should it be? It may be that there are people from this clan in the caravan plundered by the Earth Skeletons."
"By the way, this thing is very delicate, and it can be so delicately engraved on the metal. I don't know which craftsman's handicraft it is."
Hearing everyone's conversation, Zhou Jing glanced subconsciously.
However, at this moment, he couldn't take his eyes off.
Zhou Jing's pupils shrank, and his heart suddenly shook.
The pattern of this badge... he recognizes it.
——It is the national emblem of one of the countries in the main world!
