Astral Apostle - Chapter 66

[Sixty-three times of reinforcement!]

Due to the limitations of the world’s logistics level, it is difficult to transport the products of the workshops directly under the empire to remote towns, which has caused such a phenomenon.

There are various types of alien blood potions, and there are more than ten copies of lethal alien beast potions that are rarely seen outside, and many of them are masterpieces.

There is a formula for alien blood medicine, how to deal with the material of an alien beast, what kind of herbs or ore to mix – even if the material of the same alien beast is prepared with different formulas, the final finished product will have a great effect. difference.

The better the formula, the better the effect of strengthening physical fitness, inheriting the more powerful characteristics of alien beasts, and less likely to produce side effects, reducing the chance of sudden death.

In the past savage era, each tribe mastered unique formulas after long-term research, but after the establishment of the Terra Empire, they collected formulas from many tribes, and further researched and improved them to form more effective formulas, consolidating the The resource advantage of the empire.

In addition, a large number of elite and master-level pharmacists are concentrated in the capital, so the products of the workshops directly under the empire are often one or two levels higher than other towns.

In terms of higher-end research projects, Wangdu has left other towns a few blocks away, and has been researching compound alien blood potions and potions that inherit the special abilities of alien beasts, but no results have been achieved.

Because of all kinds of strange beasts, most of the world’s technological system falls on the research of alien beasts, and to a certain extent has risen to the level of biotechnology and genetic engineering. It is quite a black technology, but it is very backward in other aspects. Partial subjects are biased to grandma’s house.

In some respects, the alien world has some concepts, products, systems, etc. that seem to be inconsistent with the current era… Zhou Jing has always believed that this is the influence of “alien life forms”.

So sometimes he sees some things that are different from the current style of painting, and he is not surprised.

Zhou Jing asked the staff of the workshop, and then he was immersed in the inventory list of the workshop and couldn’t help himself, and wanted to see everything.

He picked and picked, and finally chose two bottles of extremely high-level alien blood potions.

Unlike other towns that have restrictions on the number of potions in exchange, the imperial hunters can take it directly as long as they report to the station.

Crabbe had already said hello, and the procedure went smoothly all the way. It didn’t take long for Zhou Jing to walk out of the workshop with two exquisite wooden boxes containing potions.

“When are you going to strengthen?” Cole asked curiously.

“After a while, I need to adjust my state first.”

“Then when you are ready, you can call me to guard you.”

“Okay, okay.”

Zhou Jing dealt with it casually.

He didn’t plan to use the potion in front of people this time.

After all, there are risks in strengthening the alien blood. If you are unlucky and fail, and you die suddenly in front of everyone, it will be difficult to come back after that.

After the incident in Baiyuan City, he has gained experience in this area.

Zhou Jing had already thought about it for a long time. In the future, he had to avoid others, and no one would know about it even if he burped. In this way, if the eternal apostle “Jason” was cast again after his death, he would not be regarded as the coffin being uncovered. can continue to stay in the same place.

Cole didn’t suspect him, took out a thick hardcover book from the package, handed it to Zhou Jing, and said,

“This is our course catalog, you can go back and look it up these days and see what the first thing is. Which one to learn, I will directly take you to find the corresponding Hunter teacher.”

Zhou Jing took the hardcover book with a subtle expression on his face.

Good guy,

there are textbooks.

He also thought that the hunters were primitive words and deeds, after all, that’s what Balon did.

Saying goodbye to Cole, Zhou Jing took Ross back home, opened the textbook for the first time, and found that the Imperial Hunter’s curriculum was indeed comprehensive and planned.

Most of the courses are divided into introductory, advanced, expert, and soil-entry stages, which are quite visual.

“If it weren’t for the influence of the alien life form, I would stand upside down and shush.”

Zhou Jing’s face twitched.

He has also paid attention to observation in the past few days, and did not find the existence of suspected alien lifeforms among the imperial hunters, of course, it may be hidden too deep.

Although he thinks that places like the Royal Capital are likely to have hidden lifeforms from other planes, he has no idea at the moment. It is the real benefit to improve the power of the Eternal Apostle first.

In the textbooks of imperial hunters, the most important course is not fighting, but learning about all kinds of exotic beasts. These are the information that generations of hunters have exchanged for blood. For most hunters, it is more critical than direct combat effectiveness.

Like the former Baron, it was only strengthened for the first time, but because he knew the habits of the white spider monster, he was able to kill it with a group of ordinary hunters.

However, for Zhou Jing, the course with the highest priority was Hunter’s Breathing.

“Huh, as expected of a regular army, there are actually eighteen kinds of breathing techniques.”

Zhou Jing tsk tsk, his eyes lit up.

Baron said that the hunter’s breathing technique needs to be asked for advice, but books cannot teach it, and the textbooks only list the breathing techniques that some people in the imperial hunters have mastered.

If you want to learn, you have to find the appropriate person to ask for advice, you can’t learn it with textbooks alone.

Eighteen types may not seem to be many, and they do not match the number of hunters in the empire, but many of the breathing techniques mastered by hunters are repeated. For example, the three types of breathing techniques mastered by Zhou Jing are also recorded in the book.

Most people just choose two or three kinds of learning according to their own routes. They don’t have the energy to practice other breathing techniques, and they can’t use them in battle.

There are still many kinds of derived hunter breathing techniques in the world, and it is impossible to verify, but the eighteen types of breathing techniques of the imperial hunter basically cover various strengthening directions, including strength, high speed, tenacity, exercise and other routes.

There is also a special breathing technique called “primitive breathing technique”, which is said to be a mutilated version of the original breathing technique, and subsequent breathing techniques are derived from this basis.

Imperial hunters more or less know a little “primitive breathing technique”. It sounds like a big name, but it is actually the worst breathing technique. The ancient breathing technique is rough, and the subsequent improved version is getting better and better. Not the older the stronger.

But the “primitive breathing technique” has a convenience, that is, it contains some shadows of other breathing techniques. After mastering it, it is easier to learn other breathing techniques, so this is almost a compulsory course for imperial hunters.

“This is really a treasure trove of knowledge.” Zhou Jing was delighted.

He has a unique advantage in learning, and the accelerated cultivation is enough for him to become proficient in a breathing technique in a short period of time.

According to his previous experience, if the basic cost of the practice is accelerated, he can practice a breathing technique to Lv4 proficiency in three months – but now his physical fitness and resistance aptitude have risen to the blue level, and the learning is faster, I am afraid It can be done in two months.

The time is limited every day, and the personal energy is also limited. I probably practice three to five breathing techniques at the same time.

So after all, it will take about half a year at least, and a year at most?

Zhou Jing thought about it and wanted to take a breath.

It’s not that I don’t know, but I’m shocked, the learning ability of the astral apostles is really abnormal.

Of course, the cost is also very expensive…

“The cost of accelerating the training of a breathing technique to Lv4 proficiency is 700 astral points. Excluding the three I have mastered, there are fifteen that can be learned. This is the cost of the early 1w. It

‘s still a bit expensive.”

Zhou Jing pondered for a while, and felt that he didn’t have to eat one bite to become a fat man, it was better to take it slowly.

After all, he has a plan to start a new apostle, so he still needs to keep some funds.

In addition, the combat-type breathing techniques do not have high attribute bonuses, so it may not be necessary to complete them all… Let’s screen them out when the time comes.

[Master Hunter] Mastering a lot of breathing techniques is also the only way to achieve this goal in life. If you don’t study the breathing techniques here, it will be in vain… Zhou Jing’s eyes are shining.

…

In the next two days, Zhou Jing became low-key and calm, rejecting all hunters’ invitations to learn from each other.

Although the imperial hunter was very curious about this powerful newcomer and wanted to get acquainted with him, he also knew the danger of the three enhancements, so he didn’t bother to disturb him.

After letting himself get less attention, Zhou Jing found a day to leave the station and took Rose to the wilderness.

The surrounding area of the capital is dominated by plains, and he ran for a long time before he found rolling hills and a few sparse forests.

Zhou Jing found a secluded and uninhabited forest, stopped, and took out two different blood potions.

“Just here…Come here, drink this.”

Ross took a black oil-like potion with a blank expression, raised his head and drank it dry, watching Zhou Jing without speaking.

“Don’t look at me, sit over there.”

Zhou Jing pointed to a tree.

Ross then walked over and sat cross-legged under the tree, expressionlessly waiting for the drug to kick in.

Soon, black blood vessels appeared hideously, covering his calm face.

“I don’t know if I can make it this time…”

Zhou Jing muttered secretly.

He asked for two different blood potions from the workshop, one of which was chosen for Ross. It was a flying shadow dragon potion with high-quality craftsmanship.

Flying Shadow Dragon, a rare and deadly dragon-species alien beast, also known as the “black shadow”, famous for its stealth, raid, and the ability to fly short distances. It is extremely dangerous in a dark environment, even if it is a well-prepared hunter team, A single mistake will wipe out the entire army.

For Ross’s last reinforcement, he chose “Black Hand Fox”, which has a wide range of varieties.

Different blood enhancement is naturally best to use the same kind of potion, but as long as the enhancement direction and characteristics of non-identical potions are similar, conflicts will not easily arise, but the risk of losing the success rate bonus of similar potions is acceptable.

The black-handed fox and the flying shadow dragon are not the same level of alien beasts, but there are overlaps in the strengthening directions, and there is a certain degree of fit.

Some hunters who pursue greater power will occasionally take the risk of jumping to the route of other varieties of alien blood potions when strengthening… and dragon species alien blood potions, the enhancement effect is often the best at the same level.

After the Eternal Apostle resets the follower function, Ross has another chance to be resurrected, so it is better to strengthen the stupid first.

If you fail, you can put a knife on yourself…

Zhou Jing jumped to the tree, and from time to time, he observed whether anyone was coming around, and guarded in secret.

The alien blood potion quickly transformed Ross’s body, and after a long time, the blood vessel burst on his face was calmed down and returned to its original state.

Seeing this, Zhou Jing jumped off the tree and looked at Ross’s changes.

This stupid ratio seems to be seven or eight centimeters taller, and his arms are also stretched a little bit, so that his hands can reach his knees.

“I didn’t die

suddenly, what luck…” Zhou Jing clicked his tongue, happy and happy, and inexplicably had a little lemon.

Why do you think Ross is so easy to strengthen? When he strengthens himself a second time, it is much more moldy.

He shook his head, opened the panel, and looked at Rose’s properties.

Gu

[Ross (primary)]

[[Alien Blood Warrior]: Secondary Enhancement (Flying Shadow Dragon)]

[Effect: Physical +14, Resistance +8, Perception +8]

[Current Attributes: Physical 28, Resistance 20, Perception 18, Spirit 5, Energy 0] [Secondary

Enhancement

Incidental Features: [Raid Stance], [Shadow Ambush], [Low-level Dark Element Resistance], [Night Child] (Special)]

Well, this attribute bonus is much higher than Ross last time.”

Zhou Jing calculated secretly.

Ross got a 21-point bonus to his total attributes when he first strengthened it, and now it has risen to 30 points after the second strengthening.

Because Ross itself is almost a blank slate, this is basically the difference in the quality of the medicine itself.

And this flying shadow dragon potion not only has a high attribute increase, but also allows Ross to inherit powerful characteristics.

[Assault Stance] can enhance burst and speed, and has a special high-speed bonus in the first shot, while [Shadow Ambush] enhances stealth ability, and at the same time, when lurking in the shadows to attack, there is an additional explosive power bonus.

The best of them is [Night Child], which has the same special characteristic as its own [Thunder Strike].

When fighting at night, there are positive gains, strength, speed, reaction, perception and other qualities are comprehensively enhanced, and it is more difficult to be detected when sneaking at night.

Because Ross has not mastered a few breathing techniques and lacks the attribute bonus of skills, the total attribute is only a medium level of secondary enhancement hunter.

But the enhanced characteristics of being good at sneaking ambush give him a short-term explosive power that is not inferior to that of elite hunters in terms of raids and assassinations… As long as he is not as stupid as usual.

This follower is even more useful… Zhou Jing was secretly pleased.

He let Rose stand guard, and took out another bottle of bright golden potion.

Golden Thunder Dragon Potion, the masterpiece of the master, is of excellent quality. He specially selected the strengthening potion for himself.

Golden Thunder Dragon, the upper-ranking existence in the deadly alien beasts, also known as “Raging Thunder”, can condense electricity and release thunder, it has a strong and agile dragon body, is fast and powerful, and is a top predator, except that it can’t fly In addition, there are almost no shortcomings. Hunters who have been strengthened less than three times are always delivering food in front of it.

Zhou Jing asked the workshop staff that Jin Leilong was in the surrounding area a few months ago, and a four-time enhanced hunter led a crusade, but he was seriously injured and defeated, and he almost didn’t come back alive.

In the end, it was Kreber himself who went out to fight, and finally killed this strange beast, and the workshop only had this kind of potion.

“I have the electric shock leopard enhancement, all of which are thunder attributes. I hope I can jump to the route of dragon seed enhancement this time…”

Zhou Jing took a deep breath, and then drank the dry potion in one gulp.

Gum!

The entrance of the potion is like a very spicy spirit, and it also has a feeling of numbing the tongue.

Soon, the body seemed to be struck by lightning, and a burst of electric shock and numbness quickly swept through the body.

Zhou Jing hurriedly sat down against the big tree, his whole body seemed to be numb, and he kept twitching.

This is not the first time he has experienced the pain of alien blood strengthening, but this time the pain is more intense than before, and the tip of his nose seems to smell the smell of his flesh and blood being scorched by electricity.

But after the first wave of pain peaks, Jason’s [Toughness] talent, and the first enhanced [Low-level Electric Shock Resistance], began to work gradually.

He faintly noticed that the violent energy in his body gradually stabilized, and he began to transform his flesh and bones. He closed his eyes and silently endured the strengthening process.

. . . Minutes

and seconds passed, the sky was getting dark, and faint wolf howls sounded in the woods.

Ross on the tree was motionless like an owl, faithfully guarding Zhou Jing’s side.

Zhou Jing sat under the tree for a long time, and finally waited until the pain subsided, and the surging power almost overflowed.

The eyes slowly opened, and there was a faint golden electric light flickering.

Zhou Jing felt a change in his body, except for a strong hunger, there was no other discomfort.

“Reliable, there is no accident with the three enhancements!”

He just let go of his heart at this moment.

His basic attributes are already high, and there are skill bonuses. In addition, the aptitude for physical fitness and resistance has been upgraded to the blue level. Under the superposition of various factors, the success rate of alien blood enhancement is much higher than that of Ross.

Open the panel, and new properties immediately jump into view.

[Jason Wood-Eternal Apostle]

[Extraordinary System-[Alien Blood Warrior], Level Up]

[Alien Blood Warrior: Three Enhancements (Golden Thunder Dragon)]

[Effect: Physical +17, Resistance +13, Perception +10 , Energy +5]

[Current Attributes: Resistance 58, Resistance 40 (+4) (first-order max), Perception 28, Spirit 6, Energy 5]

[Three enhancements with features: [Power of the Raptor], [Wild Thunder], [Intermediate] Lightning Resistance], [Internal Discharge] (Special)]

——

[[Dragon Power]]

[Effect: With the powerful strength of the dragon species, your muscles and bones are more solid, greatly increasing the strength and withstand impact force ]

——

[[Crazy Thunder]]

[Effect: Your offensive is like a violent thunder, with increased explosive power and speed, which can support longer bursts without fatigue]

——

[[Intermediate lightning resistance]]

[Effect: You are resistant to lightning strikes Have a certain tolerance, will not easily fall into the state of electric shock paralysis]

——

[[Internal discharge] (special)]

[Effect: Your body will naturally store electricity, and when needed, it can discharge in the body to stimulate the body , to improve the overall physical fitness.

The maximum duration of the “internal discharge” state depends on the upper limit of the body’s electrical energy reserve. The higher the electric shock resistance and energy attribute, the higher the upper limit]

[But prolonged use will cause paralysis and organ damage, the higher the personal electric shock resistance, The less damage it is, the more immune to side effects when reaching Advanced Electric Shock Resistance.

]

——

“Hey, the attribute bonus has increased a lot this time!” Zhou Jing was pleasantly surprised.

The first enhancement provided 27 points of total attributes, and the second enhancement was 31 points. At this time, the third enhancement increased to 45 points.

The quality of the medicine is one aspect, and the growth of one’s own physical fitness and resistance qualifications also played an important role.

This enhanced feature further enhances his physical fitness. He is no longer a simple agile route, but a high-sensitivity, high-power and high-explosive, living like a boss.

What surprised him the most was that this strengthening, he actually acquired a special characteristic related to energy, and he was really able to discharge.

Although it cannot be shot, it can only be used to stimulate and strengthen the body. It is still a muscle stick in essence, but it is also a sign of special abilities.

“Is this a normal strengthening, or is this potion a staged research result of the workshop directly under the empire?”

Zhou Jing thought about it, he estimated that the 5 energy attribute was brought about by the characteristic of [internal discharge].

After feeling it for a while, it seems that I can really feel that electricity is slowly accumulating in the body, but it is not absorbing any external elements, but bioelectricity.

The outbreak of “internal discharge” lasts longer than “thunder attack” and can support longer operations.

He tried it and found that the two could be used together, but it was more physically consuming.

“As the level of enhancement increases, the advantages of my initial attributes and aptitude will gradually increase. Generally, a hunter who has been strengthened three times will only break through the first rank, and it is almost impossible to reach 50 points. It’s almost 60 o’clock… It should be comparable to the four reinforcements, right?”

Zhou Jing silently assessed his own level, and suddenly a whip kicked out and hit the tree trunk next to him.

Click!

The wood shattered, the whole tree was kicked off from it, and it fell down with a clatter, and the huge noise started a large number of birds in the forest.

“If I go down this leg, I can even kick some alien beasts into two pieces… Sure enough, the body of the body enhancer is the biggest lethal weapon.”

Zhou Jing secretly stunned, excited.

He settled down, looked at the attribute panel, the rank bonus of the resistance attribute was enough, but he could advance, and he did not hesitate.

[(+4) rank bonus has been consumed]

[resistance is raised to the second rank]

[please choose a new trait from the following three items]

[1. Rough skin and thick flesh – strengthen the toughness of skin, muscles, bones, and organs degree, can withstand stronger physical attacks]

[2. Elemental resistance – energy resistance, element resistance is additionally strengthened]

[3. High immunity – your immunity is better, and the resistance to toxins and diseases is enhanced]

Zhou Jing thought for a few seconds and made a choose.

[The selection is complete, the trait has been generated]

[Current resistance attribute: 40 (second-order)]

[Resistance trait: [Elemental resistance]]
