Astral Apostle Chapter 62: New life goals

After waiting at the Imperial Hunter Station for two days, Zhou Jing probably figured out the situation. There are all kinds of supporting facilities here, all of which serve the Imperial Hunter, and there are many settlements nearby.

Tarn City is both the royal capital and the safest fortress city of the Terra Empire at present. The foreign population flows in all the year round, and the fortress city cannot be easily expanded, so it is divided into three areas, namely the inner city, the outer city and the Attached to the town.

Auxiliary towns are villages and towns that are attached to the capital and scattered around the city walls. With the restrictions on living in the capital and the soaring land prices, most of the foreign population chooses to live in the towns. According to customs, culture, wealth, etc. Factors subtly separate. There are eight attached towns around the capital, and the imperial hunter station is one of them, which is more special than the others.

In addition to hunting, imperial hunters basically do nothing to produce and do nothing. Due to their strong physical fitness, they have a higher level of hormone secretion, and their desires are strong. Most of the time, they are more restless than adolescents, and each has its own way of venting.

Some people sneak to other towns every day to find brothels, and some people wrestle and sweat on the training ground every day.

Because of the strength that Cole and Cole showed in a short period of time, the news spread like wildfire in the past two days. The imperial hunters in the station knew that a very powerful second-strengthened newcomer had arrived, and Zhou Jing was invited to wrestle every day.

Hunters are martial and respect the strong, and intense activities can often bring more daily harvesting benefits. Zhou Jing will not refuse anyone who comes, and whoever falls will be addicted to it.

In the past two days, I met a lot of people through wrestling, and the name "Jace" also spread among the imperial hunters.

On the third day, several hunter teams who were out hunting finally returned to the city.

When the imperial hunter commander Kreber returned, he heard about Zhou Jing's situation. He didn't even change his clothes stained with the blood of alien beasts. He immediately asked Cole to find Zhou Jing to meet him.

…

Zhou Jing followed Cole to the gate of the station, and at a glance, he saw a convoy of dozens of pack animals pulling wooden boards, piled with the corpses of different beasts.

Among them, there were several other beasts that were captured alive. They were covered in scars, and their whole bodies were bound by special ropes. They had been injected with paralyzing medicines. They had not eaten for many days.

A large group of workshop personnel surrounded the convoy, loading and unloading the corpses of the alien beasts, dragging the surviving alien beasts out of the car. Beside the convoy, many hunters, including Cole, were surrounded by one person.

Zhou Jing looked over and was slightly taken aback.

Unlike other tall and burly hunters, this man is less than 1.7 meters tall, but he is extremely stocky, his muscles are piled up like an explosion, he almost burst his leather armor, and he looks very solid, like a rock with clear ravines. On the back hangs a hexagonal cone-shaped war hammer with an extremely exaggerated hammer head, with mottled bloodstains standing on it.

He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, white temples, and looks quite old, with a beard.

"That's our Commander Crabbe." Cole introduced in a low voice.

"It's not the same as I imagined..." Zhou Jing told the truth.

"I understand." Cole lowered his voice and smiled: "The commander was originally not like this, but when he was strengthening for the fourth time, he chose a dwarf turtle dragon, and his bad luck inherited the side effects... In short, he In front of you, it's best not to raise your height, and whoever mentions it will turn your face."

The corner of Zhou Jing's mouth twitched.

...It seems that it is still necessary to get one or two more alien blood warriors to clear the customs. If a certain enhancement unfortunately has side effects, at least there is a backup option that can be replaced.

At this time, when Crabbe saw Zhou Jing, he immediately pushed the crowd away and walked over, haha ​​said:

"You are Jace! I heard you can beat Cole? Well, we imperial hunters need someone like you."

Although he was laughing, his voice was so low that it almost caused the air to vibrate.

Zhou Jing said hello briefly, and looked at Craiber curiously.

This is the current chief hunter of the empire, the highest enhancer in existence?

He quietly opened the panel, spending 10 Astral Points to start Scouting.

The next moment, Kleber's attributes are brushed on the panel.

[Attributes: physical strength 74, resistance 80 (second-order max), perception 42, spirit 18, energy 10]

'Three attributes have broken through the first-order, the resistance is really high, and the threshold of the second-order is touched... The five-time enhancement of ordinary people should be slightly lower than this level. After all, Kreber must know a lot of skills and support himself Attributes... In other words, there are still 10 energy attributes. ’

Zhou Jing is very interested.

According to others, Crabbe is a fifty-five-year-old hunter who has been the commander of the Imperial hunters for seven years, has extensive hunting experience, is proficient in many weapons, and is extremely powerful, even with his bare hands. It can kill most of the high-risk alien beasts and deal with the deadly alien beasts with ease.

This level of physical attributes has surpassed that of most alien beasts. There are only a few creatures in this world that can threaten his existence.

Zhou Jing compared his own physical parameters and felt that Kreiber's attributes, strength conservatively estimated to be more than ten tons, maybe he could reach twenty tons. It seems that he is not good at speed, but the speed is at least 120 tons per hour. Thirty kilometers, the strongest aspect is defense, able to withstand shocks that are much stronger than their own strength.

While he was calculating and thinking, he was not idle, chatted a few words with Kreber and got to know each other.

Although Kreber is the pinnacle of the existing hunters, he is not on the air. Although his voice is powerful, his words are quite friendly and blunt:

"Kor said that you plan to strengthen three times, you are very courageous, yes. When you officially join, the inventory of the workshop will be open to you, and you can choose the different blood potions. You have also waited for a few days, don't No more delay, go to the Colosseum today, and I'll take you there."

He directly left the unloading work to his deputy, beckoned Zhou Jing and Cole to follow, and went straight to the Colosseum, resolutely.

Zhou Jing followed closely behind, and the group soon came to the Colosseum on the outskirts of the capital, where a huge circular building was located and was heavily guarded.

Craber went up to talk to the defenders, and then he brushed his face and led Zhou Jing and the others in.

The person in charge of the Colosseum heard the news and came out to greet him in person, which was quite enthusiastic.

"Commander Crabbe, why are you here today?"

"Looking for a strange beast, I want to test our new awesome guy." Crabbe let out a thunderous laugh, straight to the point.

"No problem! I'll have someone go to the beast cage and pull one over immediately." The person in charge of the Colosseum agreed immediately, and then looked at Zhou Jing: "What level of alien beast do you want to fight?"

Craiber and Cole also turned to look at Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing groaned and tentatively asked, "A medium-risk alien beast?"

If it's a heads-up, he thinks it's better to be safe.

"Okay." Crabbe had no objection.

The second enhancement corresponds to medium-risk alien beasts. Although Jess is very strong at this level, it's okay to challenge high-risk estimates. It's easier to be valued if you succeed... but it's a bit of an adventure.

Choosing to challenge the middle and danger, in Craiber's view, is within his capacity. He has long passed the age of gambling adventures and challenging the limit, and he prefers the style of steady and steady fighting. It is an advantage for a hunter to start with certainty.

...Of course it is more secure to choose low risk, but that does not meet the level corresponding to the level of reinforcement.

After a little preparation, Zhou Jing entered the Colosseum, while Crabbe and Cole came to the high stand as spectators.

After waiting for a while, he suddenly heard the roar of the beast approaching.

"Whoosh - hoo!"

The entrance blocked by the iron fence opposite Zhou Jing was opened, and a strange beast roared and rushed into the Colosseum, the chain around its neck dragged on the ground, making a clanging sound.

This is an alien animal with a wolf head and a human body. It is about 2.3 meters tall, with upright feet and a hunched body. Its long hair is gray and black, and its sharp claws are as sharp as knives. Scratch the deep claw marks.

"A humanoid beast, is it a gray werewolf..." Zhou Jing recognized the species of this monster.

There is a special category of alien beasts, called humanoids, which often have a body structure similar to the human body. Compared with other species, their strength and speed are not outstanding, but their size is not large and difficult to deal with, and generally more cunning.

The characteristics of gray werewolves are that they heal quickly and have a strong sense of smell. Although their physical strength is limited, they are more agile and agile because of their "small size", which is quite dangerous.

The most difficult part is that the gray werewolves are gregarious creatures, they only appear in groups, which is more troublesome than ordinary high-risk alien beasts, and the chances of being singled out are rare now.

'It should be deliberately picked by the Colosseum. This kind of alien beast with self-healing ability is probably the Colosseum's favorite and can be reused. ’

Zhou Jing pondered in his heart, kept moving, and pulled out the long knife on his back... This is a new weapon purchased with money, made of fine iron, tough and sharp, and of the highest quality among ordinary weapons.

After the gray werewolf rushed into the Colosseum, he wanted to escape, running and jumping frantically, but could not jump up the high side wall.

Scarlet eyes rolled, it finally noticed Zhou Jing in the field, and immediately lowered his body, made a gesture of flying at any time, grinned at Zhou Jing, and snorted in his throat, threatening to intimidate the opponent.

Zhou Jing moved his shoulders and rushed forward suddenly.

Seeing this, the gray werewolf roared and slammed it out of the sky. Ten sharp claws were like ten daggers, stabbing straight out.

Zhou Jing closed his breath, and instantly entered the state of [Thunder Attack], his explosive power increased by one gear.

Sa!

He turned his footsteps, and when he was about to collide, he turned to avoid the slaughtering claws of the gray werewolf, only a tiny difference.

The long knife was slanted and pulled out a long and narrow cold light.

Brush!

In the Colosseum, two figures crossed each other in an instant.

Quietly, a broken wolf hand flew out.

Blood spurted, and the incision was smooth.

One of the gray werewolf's arms was chopped off at a glance, and in front of Zhou Jing's double-speed blade, it was like a hot knife cutting butter.

"Wow!"

The gray werewolf was in pain, let out a scream like a puppy, turned around and waved his arms to grab it, and went straight to Zhou Jing's heart. Valley

However, Zhou Jing's speed was faster than his. As soon as he stepped on his feet, he had already turned around and slashed, and he was extremely fast.

Brush - The blade broke through the flesh and bones all the way, and directly cut off half of the palm of the gray werewolf's hand and a large forearm.

The gray werewolf was in severe pain and wild beast, regardless of the severe damage to his arm, he suddenly opened his mouth, trying to bite the throat of the enemy who had injured him.

Driven by the strong neck muscles, the gray werewolf's bite was like a snake's head ejection, and it was very fast. Between the lightning and flint, the sharp teeth in his mouth were about to touch Zhou Jing's skin.

But before the gray werewolf bit, Zhou Jing knew the trajectory of his actions.

His expression remained the same, he raised his hand with an elbow, and slammed the gray werewolf on the chin, directly slamming the mouth of the bloodbath that was spitting fishy odor closed.

Immediately after he raised his foot and kicked, a huge force exploded, and it exploded between the gray werewolf's chest and abdomen.

Boom!

The gray werewolf was kicked into the air.

Only halfway through the flight, the chain on its neck suddenly tightened, and the other end was caught by Zhou Jing's probe

Pull hard!

The next moment, a stronger force stopped the gray werewolf from its castration and dragged it back to Zhou Jing.

Before it could hit the ground, Zhou Jing loosened the chains, held the knife in both hands, and burst out against the flying gray werewolf.

A gleam of Morihan's sword light flashed across the gray werewolf's field of vision.

The neck passes through the horizontal blade.

Pfft!

A huge wolf head swirled into the sky, and the fountain-like blood of the beast shot out four or five meters high.

The headless corpse passed by Zhou Jing, staggered forward a few steps, and fell to the ground behind Zhou Jing.

"Call..."

Zhou Jing exhaled the breath that was suffocating in his body, and threw off the sticky blood stained on the blade, and put the blade into the sheath.

The medium-risk alien beast, before Jason's current physique, is a slap in the face, and it can be killed from the front without even rolling.

Clap clap – applause from the stands.

Kreiber looked approving: "played well."

The battle was very short, almost instant kill. He saw Zhou Jing's suppressing power from it, which was smooth and easy.

It seems easy, but only by crushing the gray werewolf in all directions with strength and speed, and knowing the habits of fighters and opponents, can it seem like an understatement to quickly kill a medium-dangerous beast.

Craber has always been fond of capable hunters.

He jumped off the stand, came to Zhou Jing, raised his head and said, "From now on, you are a glorious imperial hunter."

Don't you need to take an oath or apply for documents... Zhou Jing wanted to scratch his head a little.

The world of alien beasts is more sloppy than the main world in this respect...simple.

At this moment, new information popped up on the panel.

[Trigger the achievement [Empire Hunter]! ]

[You get 500 Astral Points]

[Specific conditions have been met... Do you want to load a new [life goal] for the current apostle? ]

[Current life goal: [empty slot] x3]

[Loadable targets: [Empire Chief Hunter], [Hunter Master], [Beyond Epic]]

"Huh?" Zhou Jing was slightly taken aback.

A new life purpose? He thought that to complete the life goal of an apostle, after the customs clearance and settlement, this thing no longer exists.

It seems that the guess from him is wrong. [Life Goal] This thing is renewable, and it can be replaced or increased or decreased in some way. It is probably something like career tasks and career achievements.

The number of initial life goals of the astral apostle means how many "empty slots" there are after completion.

Zhou Jing quickly analyzed it.

Part of the so-called "achieving certain conditions" should be intervening in special events or joining certain factions, right?

In this case, it is more favorable than what I expected. The Eternal Apostle still has this stable way to obtain information-state particles, not only doing things everywhere.

Unlike the generation of new apostles, the self-triggered [life goal] is no longer mandatory, you can discover it yourself, and choose whether to load it into the apostle, which is more flexible... It seems that when a normal person completes a goal, he will establish a new one. The goal.

Moreover, Zhou Jing discovered that the [Life Goal] he discovered by himself seems to be similar to the original [Life Goal] route of the apostles. Perhaps only a more ambitious goal in a similar direction can be triggered?

Does this mean that a person who is determined to study medicine will not easily have a life ideal of "becoming a writer", which is very far from the path of life, unless he encounters a special reason?

'If not only the Eternal Apostle, but also the Apostle who has not cleared the level can trigger the new life goal by itself, then this may be a long-term route to clear the level of clearance evaluation. Completing the customs clearance tasks one after another is more purposeful and stable than doing things in vain, but the premise is that it can be triggered. ’

Zhou Jing pondered secretly, excited.

The three targets that can be loaded at this time are all alien hunter routes.

[Empire Chief Hunter], as the name suggests, must be awarded the title of the Empire; and [Hunter Master] masters and masters a large number of hunter breathing techniques and combat skills, and hunts a hundred exotic beasts in total, becoming a recognized "master" by the hunter group ; [Beyond Epic] means that the number of enhancements exceeds the historical record, which is higher than Raven's eight times.

"Jason Wood" is currently a salted fish with no goals. Zhou Jing felt that these three goals were similar to his own plans, so he did not hesitate and chose to load directly.

["Jason Wood" life purpose has been changed]

[Current life goals: [Empire Chief Hunter], [Hunter Master], [Beyond Epic]]

'It feels like life has a head start all of a sudden...' Looking at the three new goals, Zhou Jing was inexplicably more motivated.

Craiber didn't stop when he was operating the panel.

"...As for your friend Rosen, I know the situation, you can make an exception and don't need a hunting test." Craber said slowly: "If you can successfully strengthen three times, you are the backbone of the empire's hunters. Qualified to lead a squad, put Rosen on your team."

"Okay." Zhou Jing came back to his senses.

Crabbe nodded, raised his hand high, and patted Zhou Jing's shoulder. With the expectations of the leader for potential employees, he encouraged:

"I'm optimistic about you, you can find me to communicate when you have time."

After he finished speaking, he did not stay here any longer, bid farewell to the two of them, and jumped away without even leaving the main entrance, acting resolutely.

Zhou Jing watched Crabbe fly out of the Colosseum with a big jump, then turned to look at Cole: "He's pretty good."

"Of course, Commander Crabbe is the big brother of our imperial hunters. He remembers the names of every hunter and apprentice." Cole shrugged.

While the two were chatting, the medical team at the side of the Colosseum had already entered the venue, to see if the gray werewolf could be saved~IndoMTL.com~ found that it was dead, and the medical team immediately turned into an autopsy team, on the spot Collect materials and squeeze the secondary value of the gray werewolf.

Zhou Jing and Cole didn't stay long. They said goodbye to the person in charge of the Colosseum and set off back.

Not long after, the two returned to the imperial hunter station. Zhou Jing did not delay and went directly to the workshop.

Hearing that he has officially become an imperial hunter, the workshop opened up services and took him to the warehouse to display the stock of the alien blood potion.

"This is what we have in stock now, you see what you want."

Zhou Jing took the list handed over by the workshop staff, and immediately his eyes widened.

The dense content is filled with lists.

How much is in stock? !

The number of hunters here is so huge, it shouldn't be.

Seeing Zhou Jing's surprise, the workshop staff reluctantly explained:

"This workshop is directly under the empire. Unlike other towns, our production capacity is far greater than our consumption. We have sufficient materials for exotic beasts, almost non-stop production, and when developing new formulas, we will produce a large number of accessories. .

Every year, only when cultivating apprentices will a large number of different blood potions be used, but in normal times, few hunters want to hit a higher level of reinforcement, so there are always more and more warehouses, and various blood potions are piled up. Ashes..."

Zhou Jing looked at the high-quality potions on the list that must have been reserved in other towns, but almost no one here cares, and his eyes became brighter.

This royal capital, but it's too right!
