In the past three months, he has continued to witness Zhou Jing's incredible growth rate, and gradually went from being shocked to being surprised.

People are already numb.

He had no idea what was going on with this "Jason Wood".

There is no special blood enhancement, but as I practice, my physical strength is almost catching up with my own?!

This is actually a strange beast wearing human skin!

The worldview has been broken time and time again. Baron has given up using his limited brain cells to think about such confusing problems, and attributes everything to the extraordinary talent of "Jason Wood".

He grasped the core contradiction and determined a truth - as long as this "Jason Wood" is an exotic beast hunter, the more awesome he is, the better. If he can't figure out the other things, he won't think about it.

Seeing that Baron didn't answer, Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you think I can use the alien blood potion now?"

Okay, of course, let alone using the different blood potion, you can just go directly to the different blood warrior...

Baron resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said directly:

"Pack your things. We will set off to White Plains City at dawn tomorrow. I will take you to get the alien blood potion!"

"good."

Zhou Jing's eyes lit up.

After three months of training, I finally met Balon's requirements. This time I was finally able to come into contact with the real extraordinary power!

…

Early the next morning, Zhou Jing took Ross and met Balon at the entrance of the village, each carrying their luggage and equipment.

Balon was still dressed like he was hunting. Because the two-handed battle ax was lost in the forest and probably picked up by the Earth Bone Man, he asked the blacksmith in the village to make a new ax. The workmanship was rougher than the original weapon.

A lot.

Zhou Jing was wearing a hunter's suit, with a dagger in his waist and a heavy black knife hanging on his back.

This heavy knife was made by the blacksmith at the east end of the village using the stubborn iron used in making farm tools. It has no characteristics other than being relatively heavy. It is used for exercise, but of course it can also be used to chop people... to be precise, it can be used to swing people.

Ross was carrying pots and pans on his back, looking like a cook... After following Zhou Jing for the past few months, he actually learned to cook!

Although it is currently limited to cooking food, it is already a leap forward!

Zhou Jing was extremely happy about this - he finally no longer had to be a nanny and could finally enjoy the service of a follower!

There is some distance from Shuangmu Village to Baiyuan City. There are no means of transportation in the village except bullock carts, so you usually walk into the city.

However, even though they were on foot, with the endurance of the two of them, it would be faster to run all the way.

Even if you bring a Ross, it won't take many days.

However, besides the three of them, there was an uninvited guest at the entrance of the village at this time.

"Uncle Jason, Uncle Baron, can you take me to the city with you?"

Reiner hugged Zhou Jing's thigh, raised his head and blinked his big eyes in a cute manner, with a look of flattery and pleading.

"I'm going to do some business and I don't have time to take you with me."

Zhou Jing shook his legs helplessly, trying to throw Reiner off.

After all, he was Griff's son, but he still didn't bully the child, causing the child to become more and more clingy to him.

"No, I'm very obedient. I listened to you all the way. If you want me to eat, I will eat. If you want me to sleep, I will sleep!"

Reiner said hurriedly.

"Good?" Baron snorted: "Has your father allowed you to go out?"

"He...he agreed!" Reiner replied with a stiff neck.

Zhou Jing suddenly raised his head and looked behind Reiner: "Hey, Grif, you got up early too. Are you here to catch your son?"

"Oh daddy!"

Reiner was startled, quickly let go of his hand, and turned to look behind him.

Phew...a cold wind blew by, and Griff was nowhere to be seen, not even a hair on his head.

"You lied to me!"

Reiner turned around angrily, only to see that Zhou Jing and the other two people had already run away.

…

The road from Shuangmu Village to White Plains City is a piece of unprocessed natural scenery. The terrain is mostly plains and hills, occasionally dotted with patches of small woods.

There are sometimes no dirt roads, and sometimes there are roadside signboards only after a long distance. If you are not familiar with the direction, it is easy to go astray. Balon is an experienced driver, so there is no possibility of getting lost.

There was no delay along the way. Zhou Jing and Baron used their endurance to run, occasionally carrying Ross on their shoulders. It didn't take long for the three of them to reach their destination.

After walking out of a small forest, the distant view suddenly opened up, and I saw a town sitting on a hill.

Surrounded by a gray city wall, the stone bricks are clearly defined. Some houses in the city are higher than the city wall, and the roofs protrude from behind the wall, in a well-proportioned manner.

"This is Baiyuan City..." Zhou Jing looked over.

Being used to seeing buildings from the interstellar era, this town certainly had nothing to do with grandeur. In his opinion, it was just a small village-level town with simple ancient city wall fortifications, at most four to five meters high.

But to the residents of the Alien Beast World in this era, it is already considered a sizable medium-sized city.

"Let's go into the city."

Baron patted Zhou Jing's shoulder.

The three of them arrived at the city gate, where many people had gathered, lining up to enter the city, including farmers, merchants, and hunters of exotic animals carrying weapons.

The fully loaded oxcarts were crowded, and merchants chatted with people in a northern dialect, making it very noisy.

There were four guards in front of the city gate, wearing studded leather armor and simple round helmets tilted on their heads. They used short spears in their hands to tap the goods of the oxcart and check the people entering the city.

There are four fortress cities in the northern part of the Terra Empire, and there are dozens of towns like White Plains City. White Plains City is a relatively remote one, but it is still a town after all. It is still much more lively than the remote Frostwood Village. The surrounding villages

Farmers, passing traders, travelers, mercenaries, and exotic animal hunters will all stop here.

Soon, it was Zhou Jing's turn to join the team.

The guards saw Baron dressed as a hunter of exotic beasts, and came up to question him with a respectful attitude.

After Balon revealed that he was a hunter stationed in Frostwood Village, the guards immediately let him go, and the three of them entered the town together.

As Baron said, exotic beast hunting is a glorious profession. It fights exotic beasts all year round and solves threats to human survival. It is indeed very prestigious among the people. Almost no town will refuse the entry of exotic beast hunters.

Walking on the noisy and lively streets, Balon talked to Zhou Jing about the city's situation.

"Including me, there are about thirty alien beast hunters who have been active around White Plains City for a long time. Most of the alien beast threats nearby have been solved by us. Most of the time we are scattered in different areas, and some

They are stationed hunters, and some are free-moving hunters. Generally, it is easy to meet others only in White Plains City. This time I bring you to the alien blood enhancement, and I also introduce you to other people by the way, so that you can know what you will do after you become an alien hunter.

What to do."

Zhou Jing nodded, observed the medieval-style buildings on the street, and asked casually: "Not counting hunters, how many troops are there in Baiyuan City?"

"There should be three to four hundred standing soldiers, all of whom belong to Lord Lute Crow... Hmm, there should be a few different blood warriors among them."

When he said the last sentence, Baron couldn't help showing a look of disdain.

Zhou Jing glanced at him curiously: "You seem to hate this lord?"

"That's not true. Lord Root is actually pretty good. He is a blood relative of the tribe and has been protecting White Plains City all these years. The town is not only a settlement, but is also responsible for eliminating the threats of alien beasts in the surrounding area. He has never been stingy with bounties and summoning hunters.

Many times I have asked my troops to help with hunting... Although it is a matter within the lord's responsibility, at least he is competent."

After a little explanation, Baron paused and snorted coldly: "What I hate are those different blood warriors who accept the lord's recruitment and serve as the lord's bodyguards."

"What do you mean? They have conflicts with you?" Zhou Jing became interested.

"It's not a contradiction with me." Balon said dissatisfied: "These people have survived the alien blood enhancement, but they don't use this power to deal with alien beasts. Instead, they gather around the lord for power or wealth. When we hunt alien beasts, they

But hiding behind, what is this? We hunters have never looked down on such cowards!"

Zhou Jing understood immediately.

——Everyone has received the enhancement of the alien blood, and the alien hunters go to fight the alien beasts, but these people who have mastered the same power are hiding behind, serving as guards for the lord, and do not need to go to the battlefield.

Under the glorious professional tradition, alien hunters must look down on this group of alien warriors who dare not become hunters. This should be a long-standing chain of contempt.

In the tribal era, the pressure to survive was huge. Warriors who were successfully strengthened with different blood basically wanted to become exotic beast hunters to protect the tribe.

But in today's imperial era, people with extraordinary power have other thoughts... Compared to the hunters of exotic beasts who wander the line between life and death, it seems safer and more comfortable to gain wealth and power with this power.

Anyway, there are other people who are hunters of exotic beasts, so why should they take risks? After finally gaining strength, of course they should consider their own interests... This is probably the idea?

'This should be the difference between the superpowers in this world... After people gain superpowers, their ideas are not as simple as before.'

Zhou Jing shook his head and couldn't help but think of Balon's occasional remarks about hunters being impure nowadays.

He doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. This is human nature. As external pressure eases, people's hearts will become more complicated.

But as this concept slowly spreads to the entire society, there may be fewer and fewer orthodox exotic hunters who can adhere to the glorious tradition of exotic beast hunters and take on the responsibility of fighting alien beasts...

'That's why in the past three months, Balon has often talked about the glory of the beast hunter and instilled it in me... just because he was worried that I would no longer be a beast hunter?' Zhou Jing thought to himself.

He did understand Balon's worries, but the astral apostle's [life goals] were basically related to hunters of exotic beasts.
