Astral Apostle - Chapter 65

[Sixty-two 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 for the service of the imperial hunter, and there are many settlements nearby.

Tarn City is not only the royal capital, but also 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 three areas are divided, namely the inner city, the outer city and the auxiliary town.

Affiliated 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, which are subtly separated according to customs, culture, wealth and other factors. .

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 higher hormone secretion levels, 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 to find brothels every day, while others wrestle and sweat on the training ground every day.

Because of the strength that Cole and Cole showed in a short period of time, 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 income from daily gatherings. 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 of “Jess” 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 asked Cole to find Zhou Jing to meet him immediately.

…

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 alien beasts of various shapes.

Among them, there were several alien 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 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 shifted his gaze 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 hard, 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, in front of him, the most Well, don’t mention your height, whoever mentions it will turn his face.”

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 reinforcement 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 Jess! I heard that you can defeat Cole? Well, we imperial hunters need talents like you. ”

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

Zhou Jing simply said hello and looked at Craiber curiously.

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

He quietly opened the panel and spent 10 Astral Points to start reconnaissance.

The next moment, Kreiber’s attributes were brushed out on the panel.

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

‘The three attributes have broken the first-order, the resistance is really high, and the threshold of the second-order is touched… ordinary people strengthen it five times It should be slightly lower than this level. After all, Kleber must know a lot of skills and support his attributes… In other words, there are still 10 energy attributes.

‘

Zhou Jing is very interested.

According to others, Kreber was a fifty-five-year-old hunter who had been the commander of the Imperial hunters for seven years, experienced in hunting, proficient in a variety of weapons, and was extremely powerful, even capable of beating to death with his bare hands. Some high-risk alien beasts are also able to deal with deadly alien beasts with ease.

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

Zhou Jing compared his own physical parameters and felt that Kleber’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 to 30 kilometers per hour. , the strongest aspect is the defense, which can withstand the impact that is much stronger than its 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 he speaks bluntly:

“Cole said that you plan to strengthen three times, you are very courageous, not bad. When you officially join, The inventory in the workshop will be open to you, and you can choose the different blood potions. You have also waited for a few days, so don’t delay any more, go to the Colosseum today, and I will take you there.”

He directly threw the work of unloading the goods. To the deputy, greeted Zhou Jing and Cole to keep up, 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.

Crabbe went up to talk to the defenders, and directly brushed his face and led Zhou Jing and 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 Kreber, why are you here today?”

“Looking for a strange beast, I want to test our new awesome guy.” Kreber 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 are you going to fight?”

Crabbe and Cole also turned their heads.

He looked at Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing pondered and asked tentatively, “Mid-risk alien beasts?”

He felt that it would be better to be more secure when it came to a one-on-one match.

“Okay.” Crabbe had no objection.

The second reinforcement corresponds to medium-risk alien beasts. Although Jess is very strong at this level, it is okay to challenge high-risk estimates. It is easier to be valued if you succeed… but it is more or less risky.

Choosing to challenge the middle-risk, in Craiber’s view, is within his capacity. He has long passed the age of gambling adventures and challenging the limit, and he prefers a steady and steady style. It is an advantage for a hunter to do it with confidence.

… 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.

He waited for a while, and suddenly heard the roar of the beast approaching.

“Horrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”

The entrance blocked by the iron fence opposite Zhou Jing was opened, and a strange beast roared and rushed into the Colosseum.

This is an alien beast 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. It can easily disembowel people. Scratch 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 they are generally more cunning.

Grey werewolves are characterized by fast self-healing and a strong sense of smell. Although their physical strength is limited, they are more agile and agile because of their “petite” size, which is quite dangerous.

The most difficult part is that gray werewolves are gregarious creatures, and they only appear in groups, which is more troublesome than ordinary high-risk alien beasts, and there are few opportunities for one-on-one duels now.

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

‘

Zhou Jing pondered in his heart, kept moving, and drew 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 to the high side wall.

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

Zhou Jing moved his shoulders and rushed forward suddenly.

Seeing this, the gray werewolf roared and slammed into the air, with ten sharp claws, like ten daggers, stabbing straight out.

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

Sa!

He turned his footsteps, and when he was about to collide, he turned to avoid the 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.

“Woo!” The

gray werewolf was in pain, screaming like a puppy, turned around and waved his arms to grab it, and went straight to Zhou Jing’s back.

Valley

However, Zhou Jing’s speed was faster than his, and as soon as he stepped on it, he turned back with a knife and 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 piece of forearm.

The gray werewolf was in severe pain, and his beastly hair was violent. Regardless of the severe damage to his arm, he suddenly opened his big 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, very fast, and 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 did not change, he raised his hand with an elbow, and slammed the gray werewolf on the chin, directly slamming the mouth of the bloody pot that was spewing fishy odor closed.

Immediately after he lifted his foot and kicked, a huge force exploded, blasting between the gray werewolf’s chest and abdomen.

Bang!

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 grabbed by Zhou Jing’s probe

and pulled with force!

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

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

A gleam of cold sword light flashed across the gray werewolf’s field of vision.

The neck goes through the horizontal blade.

puff!

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.

“Huh…”

Zhou Jing let out the breath he was holding in his body, and threw off the sticky blood stained on the blade, and put the blade into the sheath.

The middle-risk alien beast, in front of Jason’s current physique, is a slap in the face, and it doesn’t even need to use tumbling skills, and it can be killed from the front.

Clap clap – applause from the stands.

Crabbe applauded: “It was a good fight.” The

battle was short, almost instant kill, and he saw Zhou Jing’s suppressing power, 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-risk alien beast.

For capable hunters, Kreiber has always been very fond of.

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 a certificate… Zhou Jing wanted to scratch his head a little.

The world of alien beasts is more sloppy than the main world in this regard…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 goals: [Empty slot] x3]

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

“Huh?” Zhou Jing was slightly taken aback.

New life goals?

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 apostles 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 camps, right?

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

Different from 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 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, unless he encounters a special reason, will not easily have the ideal of “becoming a writer” that is far from the life line?

‘If not only the eternal apostles, but also the uncleared apostles can trigger the new life goals on their own, then this may be a long-term route for clearing customs clearance evaluations.

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 to himself, excited.

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

[Empire Chief Hunter], as the name suggests, must be awarded the title of the Empire; and [Hunter Master] is to master and master a large number of hunter breathing techniques and combat skills, and hunt a hundred exotic beasts in total, becoming a recognized “master” by the hunter group; [Transcendence Epic] The number of enhancements exceeded the historical record, 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 chose to load without hesitation.

[“Jason Wood”‘s life goals have been changed]

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

‘It feels like life has a head start…’ Looking at the three new The goal, Zhou Jing was inexplicably more self-motivated.

While he was operating the panel, Kreiber didn’t stop either.

“…As for your friend Rosen, I know the situation, you can make an exception and don’t need a hunting test.” Craiber said slowly: “If you can successfully strengthen three times, you are the backbone of the empire’s hunters, qualified to lead A team, put Rosen into your team.”

“Okay.” Zhou Jing came back to his senses.

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

“I’m optimistic about you, and you can come to me to communicate when you have time.”

After speaking, he did not Continue to stay here, say goodbye to the two of them, and jump straight away without even leaving the main entrance.

Zhou Jing watched Kreber leap out of the Colosseum, then turned his head to look at Cole: “He’s pretty good.”

“Of course, Commander Kreber is the big brother of our imperial hunters. He remembers every The name of a hunter and apprentice.” Cole shrugged.

While the two were chatting, the medical team on the side of the Colosseum had already entered to see if the gray werewolf could save them.

found that it was dead, and the medical team immediately turned into an autopsy team, collecting materials on the spot, and squeezing 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 had officially become an imperial hunter, the workshop opened its service and took him to the warehouse to display the stock of alien blood potions.

“This is what we have in stock now, let’s see what you want.”

Zhou Jing took the list handed over by the workshop staff, and immediately stared.

The dense content is filled with lists.

So much stock?

!

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

Seeing Zhou Jing’s surprise, the workshop staff helplessly 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 animals and almost non-stop production. When developing new formulas, we will produce a large number of accessories.

Every year, only When cultivating apprentices, a large number of different blood potions will be used, but in normal times, few hunters want to hit a higher strengthening level, so the storage is always more and more, and various blood potions are piled up with dust…”

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 king’s capital, but it’s so right!
