"Go that way!"

"Slow down, slow down! You've run too far, quickly turn down the slope in front!"

Zhou Jing dragged the burly hunter and ran at the front of the team, leading the way.

The other four hunters followed closely behind, and behind them were more than a dozen wolf-dog-like beasts in hot pursuit.

While running wildly, the cold wind hit my face like a knife, my center of gravity kept fluctuating, but my vision remained quite stable.

His legs were spinning like flying, and he was striding through the humus. He could feel the soles of his feet sinking deeply into the soil when he stepped on the ground. Every time he stepped on the ground, his leg muscles trembled and tightened, pumping amazing power and providing a strong and stable body.

The reverse thrust made him move through the forest like a strong wind, picking up layers of fallen leaves.

After running with all his strength, Zhou Jing realized that he was running so fast.

'Good guy, 9 points of physical fitness is so powerful... If we could go back to ancient times, with this body structure, he would be the embryo of a fierce general."

Zhou Jing was thinking wildly while making rapid progress.

As soon as I ran into an open woodland with sparse grass, among the dense canopy of trees above me, I suddenly heard the sound of a bowstring!

Boom boom boom!

From among the treetops, several arrows shot out quickly, making several consecutive shots, knocking several wolf-dog-like beasts to the ground.

Immediately after there was a crashing sound, right where Zhou Jing and others had just run, a large rattan net covered by leaves suddenly rose up, catching six or seven beasts at once and hanging them in the forest.

Most of the herd was gone at once, and the few remaining fish that slipped through the net turned around and fled.

"fight back!"

Several hunters stopped and fired arrows. The burly hunter also broke free from Zhou Jing's hand, took off his long bow from his back, and turned around to shoot.

There was a continuous flow of arrows, but they were blocked by trees. The five people and their companions who were ambushing among the treetops fired arrows at once, but only three of them were killed.

The last remaining beast fled around the tree, constantly using the trees as a cover, and was about to run out of the killing range of the bow and arrow.

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

Huhu——

With a flash of cold light, two hand axes flew past Zhou Jing, heading straight for the beast, creating two spirals of cold light in his peripheral vision.

Halfway through the flight, the hand axes collided with each other in the air, and sparks exploded.

There was a crisp clang! The flight trajectories of the two axes changed at the same time. The first handle was deeply embedded in another tree trunk, while the second handle ejected out of an angled trajectory, happened to bypass the obstruction of the tree trunk, and hit the area behind the tree.

A pitiful beast howl suddenly sounded from behind the tree, and finally a beast stumbled out, fell to the ground, kicked around, and had an ax deeply embedded in its neck.

Zhou Jing stared.

...If it were a dart, I would accept it, but can an ax with an unbalanced center of gravity be operated in this way?

At this time, four more hunters jumped out from the treetops. They were dressed the same as the previous five. As soon as they landed, they pulled out the daggers from their waists and struck the beasts on the ground one by one.

Zhou Jing turned around and looked towards where the hand ax came from, and saw a man walking out from behind the tree. His attire was obviously different from the other nine hunters.

This is a tall, strong, bald man with a few minor scars on his face. The lower half of his face is buried in a thick reddish-brown beard, and he has a rough appearance.

Wearing a dark green animal skin robe, the hem hangs down to the knees, and a black animal mane shawl on the upper body. Several ties tie the animal pattern leather shoulder armor on both sides, and the waist is tied with an armed leather belt. The leather

There are four loop buckles on the belt, two of which are empty at this time, the others have throwing axes inserted, and the hands are covered with metal iron-gray arm guards.

The most eye-catching thing is that the bald man is carrying a long-handled single-edged axe. The silver-gray axe's surface is almost like a door panel. It looks very heavy just by looking at it. There seem to be several lines of inscriptions on the axe's surface.

The bald man noticed the unfamiliar face of Zhou Jing and looked puzzled: "Who is this person?"

Hearing this, the burly hunter from before quickly came over and explained to the bald man:

"Captain Baron, he is a lost person we happened to meet in the forest. He wants us to take him out of the forest. His name is...hey, what is 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. He thought about it clearly on the way. If anyone asks, he will use this name.

As soon as he finished speaking, the panel moved.

[Synchronization rate +5%]

[Current carrier synchronization rate: 15%]

Zhou Jing's eyes moved slightly.

Using the carrier's name to walk around the world turned out to be a synchronous behavior... He wrote it down.

When the bald man Baron heard this, his expression became slightly solemn: "Wood? Never heard of it... But you have a surname, so it seems that you are a blood relative of a certain tribe."

What the hell, tribal blood relatives?

It turns out that not everyone has a surname?

Zhou Jing was startled. He lacked understanding of the current world and was afraid of being questioned further, so he quickly asked: "Who are you?"

Balon did not hide anything and directly told their origins.

"My name is Baron, an exotic beast hunter from Frostwood Village. I am also the captain of this hunting team. They are the hunters of the village."

Zhou Jing's heart moved.

Alien hunter? This is something mentioned in one of the life goals in the current template.

At this time, the burly hunter next to him interrupted with an enthusiastic tone:

"I'm Griff. You ran too fast just now. I felt like I was about to fly. You're in great shape. Are you a different-blood warrior?"

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

Warrior of different blood...this is also the word mentioned in the template life goal.

Judging from this man's reaction, this might be some kind of extraordinary power or occupation, characterized by physical strength... He analyzed it secretly.

Grif seemed a little surprised: "Really? I don't believe it... If you're not a different-blood warrior, then your body is too good, but you don't look very strong."

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

Balon interrupted Griff.

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

"Ah yes, I'm lost. I have no supplies and can't survive alone in the forest. I hope to get help from all kind-hearted people..."

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

While the three of them were talking, the other hunters had finished finishing their last blows and came forward one after another.

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

"I still think this person is suspicious, and it would be risky to let him follow me. I have never heard of the surname Wood. Who knows if he made it up, pretending that he is a blood relative of the tribe..."

Grif retorted: "Dean, you are thinking too much. Is he an Earthbone or an alien beast? He is a Terran and one of our compatriots! In this Blackshirt Forest, what else can compare?"

Are compatriots more trustworthy?"

Tall and thin hunter Dean: "We are going into the forest to hunt the strange beasts that threaten the village. We are bringing along a person who doesn't know the details. If he messes around at the critical moment of hunting, we will all be in danger."

Hearing this, several hunters immediately nodded in agreement. If you are not careful when hunting exotic animals, you will lose your life. There is nothing wrong with reducing unstable factors.

Grif: "Then we might as well escort him out first, or assign one or two people to take him out of the forest."

"Did you forget about the nearby Earth Bone Man lair? What if you happen to encounter a group of Earth Bone Man marauders when you are on a lone operation? Moreover, we finally locked the whereabouts of that strange beast halfway.

Give up, what if this strange beast goes out and hurts the villagers later?"

"Then you mean to ignore death?" Griff put his hands on his hips.

Dean glanced sideways at Zhou Jing: "He is not from the village, and we have no duty to protect him... Give him some food and water, and show him the way to leave on his own. That's enough. Whether he lives or dies, it depends.

His own luck."

Black Shirt Forest... Earth Bone Man...

Zhou Jing listened on the sidelines and was unable to interrupt, pretending to be anxious while secretly jotting down some information revealed during the argument between the two.

Balon listened for a while and impatiently interrupted the quarrel:

"Stop arguing, I am the captain and I have the final say."

The two shut up immediately. It was obvious that Baron was very prestigious.

Baron looked at Zhou Jing carefully, scratched his bald head, and waved his hand without hesitation:

"Then take him with you. He looks so unlucky, so he must be in trouble. Besides, he is just an ordinary person, so just keep an eye on him. If he has other thoughts, I can solve them."

"I still think it's risky..." Dean muttered quietly, but did not continue to object.

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

"Whether you are a blood relative of the tribe or not, we have to hunt exotic beasts first. 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."
