According to these hunters, this forest is called the Blackshirt Forest and is vast in area. Frostwood Village is located on the edge of the Blackshirt Forest, and in the outer forest not far from the village, there is an Earth Bone Man lair.

In the barbaric era, alien beasts were rampant, and humans were divided into two groups. One group of people lived on the ground, while the other group of people began to dig underground caves to live in order to avoid the alien beasts. This is the origin of the Earth Bone People.

Different from humans on the ground, the Earth Bone people live in underground caves. Due to geographical separation, they are very isolated and lack communication, resulting in uneven intelligence among the tribes. Some can build underground cities and trade with human tribes, while some are still in

In the stage of eating raw hair and drinking blood, he is no different from a savage.

The nearby Earth Bone Man lair is the latter. It is barbaric and backward, like bandits gathering in the mountains and forests. There are often groups of Earth Bone Men roaming in the forest, and sometimes they will come out of the forest to rob passers-by. According to the hunters,

He said that Frostwood Village has always wanted to eradicate this Earth Bone Man nest that threatened public security, but it was short of manpower and had repeatedly appealed to the lord with no result.

'This group of earth-skeleton people most likely came from the nearby earth-skeleton man's lair...'

Zhou Jing looked carefully at the surrounding enemies.

Well, those hunters have said that the Earth Bones are weak and they can easily defeat each other in a one-on-one fight... But the Earth Bones usually move in groups and are good at sneaking in the jungle, making them a fatal danger in the forest.

Just when Zhou Jing's thoughts were changing rapidly, this group of earth-skeleton people used the cover of trees to slowly approach. The number of people they showed quickly increased from more than ten to nearly fifty, and they vaguely surrounded the camp. The two sides were in a stalemate.

"There are a lot of people, I feel like it's getting cold... Say goodbye, I haven't even fully understood the situation in this world yet."

Zhou Jing's heart skipped a beat when he saw that this group of earth-skeleton men were ready to move and seemed ready to pounce at any moment.

I'm a newbie here, but I don't have the ability to deal with this kind of situation...

This wave, this wave is full of trouble.

I hope that the information given on the panel is correct and that the death of the Astral Apostle will not affect the main body.

But it was impossible to just sit back and wait for death... Zhou Jing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he held the dagger tightly, always ready to take action.

Although my mind was on high alert, there was no intention of panicking or retreating at all. On the contrary, my thinking was running faster and my mind became clearer.

As a good citizen of the interstellar era, living in a legal society where personal safety is guaranteed, Zhou Jing has never faced such a life-threatening situation. Zhou Jing originally thought he would be nervous or timid, but when he really encountered it, he realized that he did not seem to have these emotions.

.

I even felt vaguely excited about the bloody battle that might break out next, and... couldn't wait?

It’s so strange, what kind of attitude do I have? I’m more excited than seeing beautiful women...

Zhou Jing was secretly surprised.

At this moment, Balon suddenly roared angrily, making a buzzing sound like muffled thunder.

I saw Baron taking two steps forward, holding the long-handled giant ax that never left his body with his backhand, and suddenly swung it in the air.

Hum

The powerful force drives the giant axe, sweeping out a strong wind, like a shock wave.

The fallen leaves all over the ground were instantly lifted up and fluttering.

The wind pressure was so strong that the faces of the nearest Earth Bone Man were deformed and trembled, and they took a step back in fear.

"roll!"

Balon breathed out and roared like a giant bear.

The group of Earth Skeletons started to stir, as if they were shocked by the tremendous power displayed by Baron. They hesitated for a while, and then suddenly slowly retreated into the dark woods and disappeared within the scope of the firelight.

The dense rustling gradually faded away, and the group of Earth Skeletons quickly retreated, just as quietly as when they approached sneakily.

"Okay, it's safe for now, they probably won't come back again."

Balon had no expression on his face and put the giant ax on his back again. All the hunters also breathed a sigh of relief, their tense bodies relaxed, and the chilling atmosphere dissipated.

Zhou Jing blinked, a little confused.

This, he ran away?

You’re here, let’s shoot an arrow!

I was just a little excited, and you suddenly left, leaving me confused...

Seemingly sensing Zhou Jing's surprise, Grif patted him on the shoulder and said:

"To survive in the forest, Earth Bone people need to preserve their strength, so they always bully the weak and fear the strong. They are very cunning. Once they feel that the enemy is too strong, they will avoid fighting.

Moreover, the Earth Bone Man in this lair knows about the existence of Frostwood Village. We hunters have met them many times in the woods, and he knows our fighting power. As long as there are enough of us, they will not dare to really take action unless someone is alone.

Then they will rush forward."

"I see... Then why did you suggest that you send me out of the forest with one or two people before?" Zhou Jing nodded suddenly, suddenly thinking of this.

"You can't just ignore death... Fortunately, Captain Barron decided to take you with him, so there's no need to push your luck."

Grif winked triumphantly, obviously he said that on purpose.

While the two were chatting, Baron came over, looked at Zhou Jing with slight surprise in his eyes, and said:

"Were you the first to discover the Earth Bone Man?"

"Yes, I vaguely noticed something approaching, so I called everyone up just to be cautious."

Zhou Jing answered carefully.

He did not forget the "code of conduct" of this astral apostle and tried to behave as close to this personality as possible.

"You did a good job. The forest is the home ground of the Earthbones. They are very good at hiding in the shadows and sneak attacks. We are all old hunters, but you discovered it earlier than us and didn't let them sneak up... Anyway,

This proves that your observation skills are very good."

Baron nodded in praise and let out a rough laugh.

"I am really flattered by your compliment. If you had been keeping vigil, they would have been discovered by you long ago. After all, you are an exotic beast hunter who has officially taken the alien blood potion, and your senses are much sharper than mine."

Zhou Jing knew very well that he could never be flattered, so he raised his hand without changing his expression.

He would not usually say such compliments, but now he was in a world where no one knew him, and he was wearing the vest of "Will Wood". He felt that his face seemed to be thickening, and he opened his mouth to say it.

.

But as soon as he finished speaking, many hunters had strange expressions, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.

"Ahem, it's really because I'm sleeping..."

Baron coughed to hide his embarrassment.

He was too embarrassed to explain to outsiders that his perception was actually not as good as that of several ordinary old hunters.

Different alien beasts extracted from the alien blood potion will bring different strengthening directions. If the potion is of average quality, the weaknesses of the alien beasts may also be inherited by the alien blood warriors.

The alien blood potion that Balon took greatly enhanced his strength, endurance, and defense, but it also had a side effect, which was a decline in perception. Especially in the forest at night, he was almost deaf and blind.

His position in the hunter team is just that of a heavy warrior who fights against alien beasts head-on.

The person who is usually responsible for the reconnaissance position is actually Dean... Obviously, Dean's observation skills are not as good as this strange man Will Wood who was picked up halfway, and he discovered the Earth Skeleton Man even later.

Dean's eyes twitched. He felt a little embarrassed when his job was compared to that of an outsider.

However, he didn't say anything. Although he still felt Zhou Jing was suspicious, he also knew that it was a good thing for the team to prevent a sneak attack, so he had no other thoughts.

At this time, Balon patted Zhou Jing's arm and said with a smile:

"With your keen perception, you are very suitable to be a scout. If you are willing to stay in Frostwood Village, we welcome talents like you to join the hunter team. Moreover, your body is very strong, and you will have good combat effectiveness with a little training... Hmm

, but it’s too early to say this now, let’s wait until we get out of the forest.”

Are you inviting me to a stranger of unknown origin? Zhou Jing was a little surprised.

But after thinking about it, he understood a little bit

It may be that the living environment in this world is difficult, so humans are used to working together to help each other, and it is easier to trust their fellow humans. It is much simpler than the interstellar era.

Zhou Jing rolled his eyes and hit the snake with the stick: "In that case, can you teach me some knowledge about survival in the wild or simple combat skills on the road?"

Baron was stunned.

Seeing this, Zhou Jing quickly added without waiting for his answer:

"I don't know how to survive in the wild, so I want to take advantage of the gaps on the road to learn as much as possible, so that I can have more ability to protect myself in the mountains and forests. And if something unexpected happens, you may not be able to take care of me, so I don't need to be a burden.

."

"Well……"

Baron said nothing and wiped his bald head.

Grif noticed Baron's embarrassment, thought for a while, and said at the right time: "It's okay, I just keep an eye on him, it doesn't cost much energy."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Balon was used to being so powerful that bricks flew away, so he didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he agreed.

After all, Zhou Jing had just helped, so it was a bit unkind to refuse directly. People don’t feel safe in the forest, and it is quite normal to consider self-protection.

And it is better to teach him some simple wilderness knowledge than to make mistakes due to ignorance and create unnecessary trouble.

As for learning combat skills that will become dangerous... It's not that Balon looks down on people. Every hunter present has not gone through years of training to become proficient in the use of bows and arrows, hunting knives, daggers, short whips and other weapons, and has good combat skills.

In just a few days and on the road, how can I practice something?
