Astral Apostle Chapter 6: Accelerated study

According to these hunters, this forest is called the Black Shirt Forest, and it covers a vast area. Frostwood Village is located on the edge of the Black Shirt Forest, and in the outer forest not far from the village, there is an Earth Skeleton Den.

In the barbaric era, alien beasts were rampant, and human beings were divided into two groups. One group of people was lingering on the ground, while the other group began to dig underground caves to live in order to avoid the alien beasts. This is the origin of the Earth Skeleton People.

Different from terrestrial humans, Digu people live in crypts and burrows. Due to the division of geographical factors, they are very closed and lack communication, resulting in uneven levels of ethnic intelligence. Some can build underground cities and trade with human tribes, while others are still at the stage of drinking blood, just like savages.

The nearby den of skeletons is the latter. It is barbaric and backward, like bandits who gather in the mountains and forests. There are often hordes of skeletons wandering in the forest, and sometimes they will go out of the forest to rob passers-by. According to the hunters, Frostwood Village had always wanted to remove the den of the skeletons that threatened the security.

'This group of Earth Skeletons probably came from the nearby Earth Skeleton's lair...'

Zhou Jing vigilantly looked at the surrounding enemy.

Well, those hunters said that Earth Skeletons are weak, and if it was a one-on-one fight, they could easily take care of each other... But Earth Skeletons usually act in groups, and they are also good at jungle stalking. Fatal danger.

Just as Zhou Jing's thoughts turned sharply, the group of skeletons slowly approached with the help of trees, and the number of people displayed quickly increased from more than ten to nearly fifty, and the camp was surrounded by a stalemate. .

"There are a lot of people, I'm feeling cold... don't, I haven't even fully understood the situation in this world."

Seeing that this group of Earth Skeletons were about to move, as if they were going to pounce at any time, Zhou Jing's heart skipped a beat.

I'm a newcomer to the whiteboard, but I don't have the ability to deal with this situation...

This wave, this wave is the lack of breasts.

I hope the information given by the panel is correct, and the death of the astral apostle will not affect the main body.

But it's impossible to wait until death... Zhou Jing's eyes narrowed slightly, he clenched his dagger tightly, and was always ready to strike.

Although the spirit is on high alert, it does not mean to panic and retreat at all. Instead, the thinking runs faster and the mind becomes clearer.

As a good citizen of the interstellar age, living in a society ruled by law where personal safety is guaranteed, Zhou Jing has never faced such a life-threatening situation. Zhou Jing originally thought he would be nervous or timid, but when he did encounter it, he realized that he seemed None of these emotions.

Even vaguely excited about the **** battle that might break out next, and... can't wait?

It's strange, what kind of attitude do I have, I'm more excited than seeing beautiful women...

Zhou Jing was secretly surprised.

At this moment, Baron suddenly hummed angrily, a sound like muffled thunder and a buzzing sound.

I saw Baron take two steps forward, holding the long-handled axe that never leaves him in his backhand, and suddenly swipe in the air.

humming——

The powerful force drives the giant axe, sweeping out a gust of wind, like a shock wave bursting out.

The fallen leaves all over the ground were lifted up in an instant, and they were swaying.

The wind pressure was strong, and the skeletons who were closest to them took a step back in fear.

"Go!"

Baron snarls like a giant bear.

The group of Earth Skeletons was in a commotion, as if shocked by the enormous power displayed by Baron, hesitated for a while, and suddenly slowly retreated into the dark woods, disappearing into the range illuminated by the fire.

The dense rustling gradually faded away, and the group of Earth Skeletons withdrew quickly, just as quietly as when they approached sneakily.

"Okay, it's safe for now, they shouldn't come again."

Balon was expressionless and put the axe on his back again. The hunters also sighed in relief, their tense bodies relaxed, and the chilling atmosphere dissipated.

Zhou Jing blinked, a little confused.

This, this run away?

It's all coming, let's throw an arrow!

I was just a little excited, and you left suddenly, making me unable to go up and down...

Seemingly aware of Zhou Jing's surprise, Griff patted his shoulder and said:

"Earth bone people survive in the forest and need to preserve their strength, so they have always bullied the soft and fear the hard. They are very cunning. Once they feel that the enemy is too strong, they will avoid fighting.

Moreover, the skeletons of this lair know the existence of Frostwood Village. We hunters have met them in the woods many times, and he knows our fighting power. As long as there are enough of us, they don't dare to really do it, unless someone is alone, they will swarm. "

"I see... Then why did you suggest that one or two people should send me out of the forest?" Zhou Jing nodded, suddenly thinking of this.

"You can't wait until you die... Fortunately, Captain Baron decided to take you, so you don't have to take your luck."

Grieve winked triumphantly, apparently saying that on purpose.

While the two were chatting, Baron came over, looked at Zhou Jing with a slight surprise, and said:

"Are you the first to discover the Earth Skeleton?"

"Yes, I vaguely sensed that something was approaching, so I called everyone up out of caution."

Zhou Jing answered carefully.

He didn't forget the "rules of action" for this astral apostle, and tried to be as close to this personality as possible.

"You've done a great job. The forest is the home ground of the Earth Skeletons. They're good at sneaking in the shadows. We're all old hunters, but you found out earlier than us and didn't let them sneak up... In any case, it proves that you are very observant."

Baron nodded approvingly and let out a gruff laugh.

"I'm really flattered by your compliment. If you were watching the night, they would have been discovered by you long ago. After all, you are an alien hunter who has officially taken alien blood medicine, and your senses are much sharper than mine." /

Zhou Jing knew that he was flattering and not wearing it, so he raised his hand without changing his face.

He usually doesn't say such compliments, but at this moment in a world where no one knows him, and wearing a "Will Wood" vest, he feels that his face also thickens. Open your mouth to come.

As soon as the voice fell, many hunters looked strange, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.

"Cough, it's because I'm sleeping..."

Baron coughs to hide his embarrassment.

He was too embarrassed to explain to outsiders that his perception was actually not as good as that of several old hunters who were ordinary people.

The different beasts extracted from the alien-blooded potions have different strengthening directions. If the quality of the potions is average, the weaknesses of the alien beasts may also be inherited by the alien-blood warriors.

The alien blood potion that Balon took greatly enhanced his strength, stamina, and defense, but it also brought a side effect, that is, his perception decreased. Especially in the forest at night, he was almost deaf and blind.

His position in the hunter team is just a heavy fighter who confronts alien beasts.

Generally, the person in charge of the reconnaissance position is actually Dean... Obviously, Dean's observation skills are not as good as Will Wood, the strange man he picked up halfway, who discovered the Earth Skeleton later.

Dean's eyes twitched. He felt a little ashamed that his job was being compared by an outsider.

But he didn't say anything. Although he still thought Zhou Jing was suspicious, he also knew that someone had prevented a sneak attack, which was a good thing for the team. He had no other thoughts.

At this time, Balong patted Zhou Jing's arm and said with a smile:

"You have such a keen perception that you are very suitable to be a scout. If you are willing to stay in Frostwood Village, we welcome talents like you to join the hunter team, and your body is very strong, you can have a good combat effectiveness with a little training. ...well, but it's too early to tell, let's talk about it when we get out of the forest."

This invites me to an unknown stranger? Zhou Jing was a little surprised.

But on second thought, he understands a little

It may be that the living environment in this world is difficult, so human beings are accustomed to sticking together and helping each other. In contrast, it is easy to trust their compatriots, but it is much simpler than the interstellar era.

Zhou Jing rolled his eyes and followed the stick on the snake: "In this case, can you teach me some knowledge of survival in the wild, or simple fighting skills on the road?"

Baron was taken aback.

Seeing this, Zhou Jing didn't wait for him to answer, and quickly added:

"I don't know how to survive in the wild, so I want to take advantage of the gaps on the road to learn as much as possible, so that I can have a little more self-protection in the mountains and forests. And if you encounter any accident, you may not take care of me, no Needs a drag."

"Uh..."

Baron said nothing and wiped his bald head.

Griff noticed Baron's embarrassment, thought about it, and said at the right time, "It's fine, I'll just watch him, it won't take much effort."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Baron was used to flying big bricks and didn't want to struggle with this problem, so he agreed.

After all, Zhou Jing had just helped out, and it was a bit impersonal to directly refuse. People have no sense of security in the forest. For self-protection, it is quite normal.

And it's better to teach him a little simple field knowledge than to make mistakes in ignorance and cause unnecessary trouble.

As for learning combat skills, it will become dangerous... It's not that Baron looks down on people. Which of the hunters present has not been able to master bows, hunting knives, daggers, short whips and other weapons after years of training. fighting skills.

It's only a few days and I still have to hurry. Can you practice it?

It would be nice to be able to master the four grips of a dagger.

After chatting for a while, everyone did not dare to delay any longer, and divided the labor to dismantle the camp. Although the Earth Skeletons retreated, the location of their camp was exposed, and everyone decided to travel overnight.

…

A few lights floated in the woods.

The crowd walked quietly in the woods at night. Because they were worried that the torches would be too bright to attract attention, the group used simple candles made of animal fat to illuminate them with weak candlelight.

Zhou Jing and Griff landed at the back of the team and talked in low voices.

"By the way, I forgot to return this to you."

Zhou Jing took out the dagger and handed it to Griff.

Griff shook his head: "No, you take it, I will teach you how to use it anyway."

"Okay." Zhou Jing nodded, but didn't take back the dagger, and said cheekily, "Then... why don't you just tell me how to fight with the dagger now?"

"Now?"

Griff was a little confused.

I'm still on the road at night. You are too anxious. My wife and I are not as active as you when sleeping.

"Efficiency is life, and maybe the point of learning more is the distance between life and death."

"What you said makes sense."

Griff thought about it, but didn't refuse. Anyway, while rushing and pointing, it won't delay anything, and it can relieve boredom.

He whispered about his skills, and pointed at him from time to time. Although his vision was blurry at night, Zhou Jing still took Griff's instructions seriously.

Most of the main world use firearms, cold weapons are already backward, only some superpowers use them. But there are no firearms in this world, and cold weapons are the only way to protect oneself. It can only be used for what. Zhou Jing thinks clearly, and naturally he will not be picky or disgusted.

In addition, although the main world is civilized and developed, it has summarized many cold weapon skills, but most people rarely check this kind of information, and if they want to learn, they need to ask teachers for guidance. It is difficult for people to get professional training, at most the level of hobbyists.

And the human beings in this world are still relying on cold weapons to protect their ethnic groups to this day. They are rich in actual combat. Even if there is no scientific training system, their skills should be unique.

Zhou Jing thought clearly. He was not arrogant because he had knowledge of the interstellar age.

At the same time, information pops up on the panel.

[Learning [Weapon Mastery-Dagger]]

[Skill level: Lv0- (not entry)]

[Astral Points can be consumed to activate the training acceleration function]

[Calculating [Weapon Mastery-Dagger] rarity, mastery level, template related qualifications...Complete calculation]

[Minimum cost of learning acceleration: 25 astral points]

[Hint: Practicing the acceleration function will greatly increase the improvement rate of this ability. The increase effect and minimum cost are all affected by the relevant qualifications. When the ability is upgraded, the acceleration function ends, re-consumption of astral points can be turned on again]

Zhou Jing was overjoyed.

When he was exploring the panel, he knew some uses of the astral point, such as adjusting the values ​​of the template when pinching people.

However, when the astral apostle is actually generated, the role of the astral point changes. It is impossible to directly change the template parameters like pinching a human being, but to speed up the growth and improve the growth rate of the body's training skills.

According to the level, rarity, power and other factors of an ability, the minimum activation cost of the acceleration function is different, but there is no upper limit. The more astral points consumed, the stronger the acceleration effect.

However, no matter how many Astral Points are consumed, the training acceleration will only take effect before the next level. Once the skills are upgraded, the acceleration will end and need to be renewed

——Equivalent to each level of the skill, the cost of learning the acceleration function is calculated separately. It just reaches the next level of mastery of the skill faster, not continuously.

The previously acquired language skills, [Tara Imperial Language and Northern Dialect] actually also has a training acceleration function~IndoMTL.com~ but the minimum activation fee is 50 astral points, and Zhou Jing has few points in his hand. I'm not sure how difficult it is to get astral points, so I didn't invest.

After all, raising the level of language skills is of limited help in the current situation. He wants some ability to help himself protect himself to test this function.

[25 Astral Points consumed]

[[Weapon Mastery-Dagger] has enabled the training acceleration function]

Zhou Jing was instantly refreshed, as if a clear spring was flowing through his limbs, cool, refreshing, and full of vitality.

Originally, due to the exhaustion of traveling all day, my concentration has been a little sluggish. At this moment, I suddenly became highly focused, as if entering a state of flow.

All the surrounding disturbances seem to be separated by a screen, like the noisy background sound reducing the volume, only Griff's voice explaining the use of the dagger is clearer, as if it can be remembered, and it becomes easier understand.

My comprehension and learning ability seem to have improved several steps

But the most important thing is the physical changes.

He originally gestured the dagger clumsily, but the unfamiliar hand was quickly fading away, and his body was quickly becoming familiar with this weapon.

Originally, it took years and months of exercise to form a muscle habit. At this time, this process was condensed. In a short period of time, his body was rapidly generating the muscle memory of using a dagger.

"This feeling...hiss."

Zhou Jing was so happy that he had goosebumps all over his body.

I don't know what words to use to describe this feeling, but I can only say...comfortable, good chicken is comfortable!

It's like being constipated for a long time, and the waterway is suddenly dredged up!

For the first time in his life, Zhou Jing experienced the exhilaration of learning God, and he couldn't stop.
