"Go over there!"

"Slow down, slow down! I've run over the head, turn down the dirt slope in front of you! ”

Zhou Jing dragged the burly hunter and ran at the front of the team, but became the one who led the way.

The other four hunters followed closely behind, followed by a dozen wolf-dog-like beasts in hot pursuit.

In the wild running, the cold wind hit the face like a knife, the center of gravity continued to rise and fall, but the line of sight remained quite stable.

He could feel the soles of his feet sinking deep into the mud as he stepped on the ground, and each time he kicked the ground, his leg muscles shook and tightened, pumping amazing force to provide his body with a strong and stable thrust, allowing him to walk through the forest like a strong wind, rolling up layers of fallen leaves.

Running with all his might, Zhou Jing knew that he was running so fast.

'Good guy, 9 points of fitness is so strong...... If you go back to ancient times, this physique is properly the embryo of a fierce general. ”

Zhou Jing was thinking blindly while the pig was advancing suddenly.

As soon as I ran into an open woodland with sparse grass, among the dense canopies above my head, I suddenly heard a bowstring sound!

Boom!

Between the treetops, several arrows shot out, and with a few successive sounds, several wolf-dog-like beasts were shot to the ground.

Immediately after that, there was a loud noise, and just where Zhou Jing and the others had just run, a large net of rattan covered by leaves suddenly rose, engulfing six or seven beasts at once, hanging in the forest.

Most of the beasts were lost at once, and the remaining few fish that had slipped through the net turned around and fled.

"Shoot back!"

Several hunters stopped to release their arrows, and the burly hunter also broke free from Zhou Jing's hand, took off the longbow on his back, and turned around to shoot.

The arrows were continuous, but they were only covered by trees, and the five of them and their companions who were ambushed in the treetops fired arrows, and only three of them were killed.

The last remaining beast fled around the tree, constantly shielding itself from the tree, and was about to run out of range of the bow and arrow.

At this time, the sound of breaking wind suddenly rose.

Whew-

The cold light flashed, and two hand axes spun and flew past Zhou Jing, heading straight for the beast, drawing two spirals of cold light in his afterglow.

Halfway through, the axes collided with each other in the air, and the spark exploded with a bang.

The crunch of the bell! The trajectory of the two axes changes at the same time, with the first stalk deeply embedded in the other trunk, while the second stalk ejects a chamfered trajectory, which happens to bypass the obscuration of the trunk and hit the area behind the tree.

A miserable howl sounded from behind the tree, and the last beast stumbled out, plopping down to the ground, kicking on all fours, with an axe embedded deep in its neck.

Zhou Jing's eyes widened.

…… If it were a dart, I would admit it, but can an axe with an unbalanced center of gravity be operated in the same way?

At this moment, four more hunters jumped down from the treetops, almost the same as the previous five, and as soon as they landed, they drew the daggers at their waists and mended the beasts all over the ground one by one.

Zhou Jing looked back at the place where the hand axe came from, and saw a man walking out from behind the tree, dressed in a way that was clearly different from the other nine hunters.

It was a tall, strong, bald man with a few minor scars on his face, and the lower half of his face buried in a thick reddish-brown beard.

Dressed in a dark green animal skin robe, the hem of which hung down to the knees, a black mane shawl on the upper body, several straps tied to the beast pattern leather shoulder armor on both sides, and the waist was tied with an armed leather belt, and there were four ring buckles on the leather belt, two of which were empty at this time, and the rest were inserted with throwing axes, and the hands were covered with metal iron gray arm guards.

The most striking thing is that the bald man is carrying a long-handled single-edged axe, the silver-gray axe face is almost like a door panel, it is very heavy just to look at, and there seem to be a few lines of inscriptions on the axe face.

The bald macho man noticed Zhou Jing's unfamiliar face, and looked puzzled: "Who is this person?" ”

When the burly hunter heard this, he quickly leaned over and explained to the bald man:

"Captain Baron, he is the lost man we happened to meet in the forest, and wants us to take him out of the forest, his name is ...... Eh, what's your name? ”

"Will Wood."

Zhou Jing blurted out.

The default name of the Astral Apostle template should at least conform to the naming format of this world, and he will figure it out on the way, and if anyone asks, use this name.

As soon as the voice fell, the panel moved.

[Sync Rate +5%]

[Current vector synchronization rate: 15%]

Zhou Jing's eyes moved slightly.

Using the name of the carrier to walk in the world turns out to be in line with the synchronous behavior...... He wrote it down.

When the bald man Baron heard this, his expression was slightly solemn: "Wood? Haven't heard of ...... But if you have a surname, it seems that you are a blood relative of a certain tribe. ”

What's that, tribal blood kinship?

It turns out that not everyone has a surname.

Zhou Jing was stunned, he lacked understanding of the current world, and for fear of being questioned, he hurriedly asked first: "Then who are you?" ”

Baron didn't hide it, and directly told their origins.

"My name is Baron, the alien beast hunter of Frostwood Village, and the captain of this hunter team, they are the hunters of the village."

Zhou Jing's heart moved.

Beast hunters? This is something mentioned in one of the life goals of the current template.

At this time, the burly hunter next to him interjected, and his tone was enthusiastic:

"I'm Griff, you ran so fast just now, I feel like I'm about to fly, my body is awesome, are you an alien warrior?"

"I'm not." Zhou Jing shook his head cautiously, not daring to agree at will.

Alien Warrior ...... This is also the word mentioned in the template life goal.

Judging by the person's reaction, it could be some kind of supernatural strength or profession, characterized by physical strength...... He secretly analyzed.

Griff seemed a little surprised: "Really, I don't believe it...... If you're not an alien warrior, you're in good health, but you don't look very strong. ”

"Alright, I can see that he is indeed not a blood warrior."

Baron interrupts Griff.

Then, he turned his head and asked Zhou Jing, "Do you want us to take you out of the forest?" ”

"Ah yes, I'm lost, I don't have supplies, I can't survive alone in the forest, I hope to get help from all the good Samaritans......"

Seeing that the other party was easy to speak, Zhou Jing repeated his words again.

As the three of them spoke, the other hunters had already finished mending their knives and came up one after another.

Hearing Zhou Jing's request, the tall and thin hunter who had expressed his opposition before shook his head again and again:

"I still think this person is suspicious, and it's risky for him to follow, I haven't heard of the surname Wood, who knows if it's made up, pretending to be a tribal blood relative......"

Griff retorted, "Dean, you're thinking too much. Is he a skeleton man, a beast? He's a native of Terra, our countryman! In this forest of black shirts, what could be more trustworthy than a compatriot? ”

Tall and thin hunter Dean: "We are traveling into the forest to hunt strange beasts that threaten the village, and we have brought with us a man who does not know the details, and if he messes around at the critical moment of the hunt, then we are all in danger." ”

Hearing this, a few hunters nodded in agreement, hunting alien beasts will lose their lives if they are not careful, and there is indeed nothing wrong with reducing unstable factors.

Griff: "Then we'll just escort him out, or we'll split up one or two to take him out of the forest." ”

"Have you forgotten the nearby Skeleton Lair? If you happen to encounter a horde of Earth Bone Raiders, what should you do? And we finally locked down the whereabouts of the strange beast and gave up halfway, what if the strange beast ran out and hurt the villagers later? ”

"Then you mean to see death and not to save it?" Griff crossed his waist.

Dean squinted at Zhou Jing: "He is not from the village, and we have no duty to protect him...... Give him some food and water, show the way and let him get out on his own, and that's enough. Whether he lives or dies depends on his own luck. ”

Blackshirt Forest ...... Skeleton ......

Zhou Jing couldn't interject while listening, pretending to be eager, and secretly wrote down some information revealed during the quarrel between the two in his heart.

Baron listened for a while, and impatiently interrupted the quarrel:

"Don't argue, I'm the captain, I'll have the final say."

The two immediately shut up, apparently Baron was prestigious.

Baron glanced at Zhou Jing carefully, scratched his bald head, and did not get entangled, and waved his big hand:

"Then take him with you, looking so unlucky, it is estimated that he is indeed a victim. Besides, he's just an ordinary person, just pay attention to it, and if he has other thoughts, I can solve it. ”

"I still think it's risky......" Dean muttered, but didn't object any further.

Balon ignored him, raised his chin towards Zhou Jing, and said in a deep voice:

"Whether you are a tribal blood relative or not, we have to hunt the beasts first, and we don't have time to take you out of the forest, so you have to follow us for the time being...... If you affect our actions, then we can only drive you away, can you accept it? ”

"No problem."

Zhou Jing nodded immediately, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

I finally got out of the existential crisis for the time being and found someone to communicate with...... Next, I need to inquire about the information and find out what the situation in this world is.

……

With Baron's order, the hunter team temporarily accepted Zhou Jing's existence.

The group packed the traps, retrieved the arrows and axes, disposed of the prey, rested in place for a while, and then continued on their way.

Zhou Jing took some dried meat and water shared by hunters, and also borrowed an animal skin jacket to protect against the cold and draped it on his body, so that he felt much more comfortable.

He trekked with his squad through the mountains and forests, occasionally chatting with the hunters.

In the previous exchange, Zhou Jing found that Griff was a little better at talking, so he took the initiative to come to his side to communicate, carefully covering up his lack of common sense in this world, and asking for information.

Griff has a straightforward temperament and knows most of everything.

From his mouth, Zhou Jing slowly had a vague understanding of the current situation in the world:

This world is still in the era of farming and hunting, and the only known major intelligent race is currently humans, living in a harsh environment, and facing a huge threat - alien beasts.

The people of the current world divide beasts into two types: beasts and alien beasts, and beasts are ordinary non-intelligent creatures, like the dozen or so "snakes and wolves" that the team hunted before, which are simple beasts.

Alien beasts are completely different, generally have huge sizes, some have special talents, some can breathe fire, some can discharge, powerful alien beasts can fight against hundreds of thousands of troops alone, extremely dangerous. And there are many kinds of them, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, everything, and new species will appear from time to time.

To this day, no one has counted how many species of exotic beasts there are in the world.

Since the beginning of the barbaric era, in order to survive, human beings have united into tribes to fight against alien beasts, but because of the huge gap in strength, the living space of human beings in various places has been compressed, and they have been on the verge of extinction many times.

This situation did not take a turn for the better until the appearance of the alien warriors.

In the long dark history, some people believe that the reason why alien beasts are powerful is because of the power contained in flesh and blood, and as long as the power of alien beasts is extracted by some method and given to human warriors, they can be able to seize the power of alien beasts...... Quite an original idea, but it doesn't seem strange.

After countless attempts, someone finally realized this possibility - to extract the flesh and blood essence of different alien beasts in a special way to form a potion that allows humans to gain amazing physical abilities, so that individuals can fight alien beasts.

And this elixir is called "heterogeneous elixir", and it has opened the door to the extraordinary for the human beings of this world.

However, there is a risk of death from the use of heterogeneous drugs, and if you can't bear it, even if you are strengthened, your body will slowly collapse. Therefore, in order to gain great strength to protect the clan, the warriors of the tribe regard it as an honor to risk their lives to take the alien blood potion, and the warriors who successfully obtain the reinforcement are also known as "alien warriors".

These alien warriors used their extraordinary strength and tempered combat skills to hunt strange beasts everywhere - the alien beast hunter profession was born.

Ancient glory has been passed down from the Savage Age to the present day, giving this profession a special meaning to humanity.

"To be a Alien Blood Warrior is to be a Beast Hunter" - this has become the consensus of almost everyone.

There are more and more hunters of alien beasts, and they have gradually become the recognized guardians of mankind, and the various tribes are no longer afraid of most alien beasts, and their living space has expanded, and they have gradually gained a stable territory, forming alliances and conflicts with each other.

Eventually, after a long period of friction, a new chapter was opened in the history of civilization, and the humans of this world established the first human state, which is now known as the Terra Empire.

"I see...... There is only one state power, and it has only been established for about forty years, not long after the tribal era entered the state era...... However, because of the accumulation of the long tribal era, the technical level is not too backward, at least the Iron Age, and from the perspective of their weapons, the smelting technology is quite mature......"

Zhou Jing sat by the fire, the light of the fire made his face flicker, and he nibbled on the jerky while recalling the information he had learned along the way, and constructing a perception of the world in his mind.

It's really a new world that I haven't heard of, not any time in the history of the Overworld...... He was in a good mood.

It was already night, and the forest was getting darker and darker, and I could barely see my fingers, and the cold was deep.

The dense canopy of trees obscures the overhead, making it difficult to look up at the astronomical stars of this world, but there are also stars and moons.

After a day's journey, the hunters found a makeshift camp on this slightly flat woodland, built a campfire, and decided to rest here for the night.

Everyone had mostly reclined, except for Griff and Dean who were awake for the vigil, and the camp was silent, save for the occasional crackling of the fire and the rustling of the leaves in the wind.

Dean sat farthest away, with his back to the tree, and from time to time swept towards Zhou Jing with distrust and suspicion, while Griff sat not far from Zhou Jing, playing with a dagger.

Zhou Jing secretly sorted out the information, thought about it, moved his ass to sit next to Griff, and asked in a low voice:

"Do you know what it takes to become an alien warrior?"

He hadn't forgotten the main goal of his astral journey - to gain superpowers and make his own body a superpower.

There is indeed a transcendent power in the current world, but he has only heard about the path of the alien warrior so far.

These hunters are not scholars after all, and their knowledge is limited.

"Then you have to ask Captain Baron, he is the official alien beast hunter, he has taken the alien blood potion once, we are just ordinary hunters." Griff shrugged.

"I asked, but he didn't tell me."

Zhou Jing shook his head, looked at Balon who closed his eyes and rested, and silently called up the basic attributes of Balon that he had queried with the panel function before:

[Attributes: Stamina 18, Resistance 15, Perception 6, Spirit 5, Energy 0]

He discovers this feature on the road, which allows him to view the properties of an object for only 10 Star Points, provided that the target interacts with him...... Chatting, physical contact, and more.

However, at present, only basic attributes are queried, and items such as talents, qualifications, and skills do not seem to be displayed.

Zhou Jing spent a total of 20 star boundary points on the road, querying the basic attributes of Baron and Griff, in order to locate the level of his carrier.

Griff's physical fitness is 7 points, which is about the same level for the average healthy person who has been exercised.

And Baron is completely different, his physical fitness reaches 18 points, much higher than his own 9 points, and the gap in his performance is very large, carrying the giant axe on his back and jumping up and down in the mountains and forests lightly, almost making people think that he is not carrying a real heavy weapon, but a plastic mold.

Zhou Jing also saw Baron easily lift a stone plate with one hand on the road and put it on the stream to build a bridge, so as not to wet everyone's shoes, and then casually threw the stone aside, which was easy to do.

He tried quietly at that time, but he could barely move the stone, and he only moved it with all his strength, and felt that the weight of the stone seemed to be more than half a ton.

The strength of his body is still in the category of normal people, but the true performance of Baron's physical fitness value is a bit extraordinary.

As for resistance, it is a comprehensive attribute of various defenses, such as physical, energy, elemental, disease, etc. resistance, and Baron's resistance is as high as 15 points, which Zhou Jing can't intuitively judge for the time being.

By comparing the difference between the basic attributes and the actual performance, Zhou Jing has a rough estimate of the current level of strength in the world...... Using the Overworld's classification, the Alien Warrior should be counted as a "flesh-enhanced" superpower.

In the Overworld, there are many ways and systems to strengthen the body, each with its own merits, and the flesh enhancement class is the most common type of superpower.

Although it has a single function, it can't compare to those bells and whistles, arcane methods, and mechanical cultivation in terms of application range, but it is better than the pure basics.

A strong body brings a high degree of freedom in the direction of learning, firearms, fighting, driving, etc., rich in skills, not necessarily reckless.

Zhou Jing has only been in contact with Balon, an alien blood warrior, for the time being, and judging from his many years of experience in watching the Super League, Baron's level of performance is only a "first-level superpower".

- In the seventh-level standard for evaluating the combat power of superpowers in the main world, he has only just entered the extraordinary level.

But I am not qualified to pick and choose fat and thin, it is good to have the opportunity to obtain extraordinary strength...... Zhou Jing is quite sober in this regard, let's not talk about the snack, and force the number to hide in his heart.

Moreover, according to the hunters, the alien blood potion can be strengthened multiple times, and Baron only strengthens it once, which only represents the lower limit, and perhaps the upper limit of the alien warrior system is considerable.

'These hunters don't trust me very much, so when they get out of the Blackshirt Forest and go to the Frostwood Village where they are, they will inquire carefully about how to obtain the foreign blood potion......

Zhou Jing's eyes reflected the beating firelight.

It was only now that he had the heart to savor his wonderful encounter today, and he couldn't believe it.

Looking at the crackling firewood and these living hunters, Zhou Jing seemed to suddenly realize that he was really here...... It was as if he had come back to his senses, leaving the familiar environment and coming to an unknown world, a plane very different from the main world.

'Astral Shuttle...... I don't know what kind of things will happen in the future......

Zhou Jing was in a complicated mood, more of an indescribable expectation.

Rustling......

At that moment, his ears suddenly moved, and he vaguely caught the unusual movement hidden under the shaking of the leaves.

Like ...... Someone deliberately lowered his footsteps and walked lightly among the foliage woodland.

Voices came from all directions, getting closer, and seemed to envelop them.

A sense of crisis suddenly came to his heart, Zhou Jing's face changed, and he slapped Griff suddenly:

"There's movement!"

Griff and Dean were taken aback, and without hesitation, Huo Ran stood up.

"If there is an enemy, rise up!" The two of them let out a low cry, quickly kicking the others to wake up.

Everyone woke up one after another, got up one by one, picked up their weapons, skillfully leaned against the surrounding trees as cover, and scanned the surroundings vigilantly.

However, when you look around, there is only the sound of whining wind in the dim forest around you, and you don't find any enemies.

"What's the situation?"

"Is there really anyone? Who found out? ”

Everyone lowered their voices and talked, surprised.

"Will said it." Dean didn't look back, and pointed at Zhou Jing.

It can't be a false positive, right...... The crowd couldn't help but think about it.

The outsider was not their trusted companion or an experienced hunter, and his warnings were hard to believe.

In fact, Dean, who had just woken everyone up, didn't believe it either.

But although he doesn't like Zhou Jing very much, an outsider of unknown origin, he will not act rashly.

Even if you think it's a false alarm, you still warn everyone...... An old hunter like him understands one thing, and there is nothing wrong with being careful.

Of course, the more real reason is...... Anyway, he was keeping vigil, and it wasn't him who woke up when he slept soundly.

Seeing that there was no movement in the surrounding woods, Griff couldn't help but poke Zhou Jing with his elbow: "You shouldn't be shouting nonsense, right?" ”

"I feel something approaching, and there's quite a bit of it."

Zhou Jing responded in a low voice, the sense of danger in his heart still remained, and he suddenly realized a little.

- The sudden sense of crisis, I'm afraid that this body's [agility] talent has taken effect......

Just when everyone was suspicious, Dean's expression changed, and a look of surprise flashed, and he suddenly shouted:

"There is indeed something, come out!"

As he spoke, he raised his angle and fired an arrow into the forest as a warning.

It didn't take long for the rustle in the forest to become clearer, and shadowy figures flashed through the forest.

The light from the firefire roughly illuminated more than a dozen figures, and in the darkness farther away, it seemed that there were more people.

The dim light of the fire illuminated the appearance of these figures—only about one meter six tall, skinny, slightly rickety, and a little hunchbacked.

His cheeks were thin, his skin was gray, his body was smeared with white lines, he wore only a short skirt woven of grass blades to cover his lower body, and he was armed with a tattered bone knife and bone spear, moving like a ghost in a nightmare.

"Earth Bone Man!"

Everyone's expressions changed, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense and solemn.

…… This is what the hunters mentioned, the branch of the human race in this world, the Earth Bone Man?

Zhou Jing's heart moved slightly, and he squinted his eyes to observe carefully.

At this moment, he suddenly felt something stuffed in his palm.

Zhou Jing looked down and found that Griff had quietly stuffed the dagger into his hand.

"Take it and protect yourself."

Griff winked, put the arrow in his hand on the string, and whispered:

"If you get into a fight, I guess you don't want all you can do with your fists......"
