"Jace and Rosen...come with me."

Cole, not doubting his presence, led the two of them into the station and led the way.

Zhou Jing looked left and right, observing the situation in the station. The most numerous facilities on the road were the training grounds. There were hunters instructing batches of young boys to exercise, and they kept shouting.

These teenagers wore uniform simple leather uniforms. The youngest was eight or nine years old, and the oldest seemed to be no more than fourteen years old.

Cole saw that Zhou Jing noticed these children and introduced them:

"They are apprentices who have not yet received the enhancement of the alien blood. Once they complete the basic course and their bodies grow to their peak state, they will use the alien blood potion. Those who survive will become prepared empire hunters and complete their lives under the leadership of the old hunter.

's first hunt."

"Where did you find these children? If they fail to strengthen and die suddenly, is it okay to die?" Zhou Jing asked.

"Some are children sent by imperial hunters sent abroad, some are teenagers found in the countryside, and there are also young people who take the initiative to apply to become hunters... Among them are also blood descendants sent by various tribes." Cole said casually: "

Being a hunter is inherently risky, a group of people will die every year, it just depends on luck."

As he said that, he turned to look at Zhou Jing and said:

"You used to be a free hunter. After you officially join the army, you can also take the course of an imperial hunter."

Zhou Jing nodded, mainly for this reason. Joining the Empire Hunters is much more efficient than asking for advice everywhere.

The two of them chatted and walked, and soon came to the archives room at the station, which also served as registration for the army.

"Can you write? If not, you dictate and I will record it." Cole asked someone to take out a blank book and put it on the table.

Zhou Jing took it and took a look. It was in a simple table format, and he had to fill in the information, including his own origin, past hunting records, weapons proficiency, number of times of different blood enhancements, enhancement tendencies and other information.

He picked up a pen and filled it out by himself. During this time, he walked out of White Plains City and learned more about the customs and customs of the Terra Empire. It was easy to compile it now, and he also filled in the information for Rose.

The hunter records naturally do not include the experience of White Plains City. While opening the map in the past two months, Zhou Jing deliberately stopped in several towns and left hunter records of "Jace and Rosen" in various hunter taverns, and also participated in them.

He conducted several simple expeditions against alien beasts and left real records... although they may not send people to investigate on the spot.

Cole took the two people's information and looked at it carefully, and then looked at Zhou Jing with some surprise: "Have you been strengthened for the second time?"

"It doesn't look like it?"

"That's not true...most of the free hunters who join the army are strengthened for the first time. It's rare to see people who are strengthened for the second time and actively join. They are considered elites among the group of imperial hunters." Cole took Zhou Jing seriously.

Zhou Jing was curious: "Approximately how many people have different levels of enhancement among the Empire Hunters? Who is the strongest?"

Hearing this, Cole had no intention of hiding it. After all, it was information known to many empire hunters:

"Currently, the highest number of Empire Hunters has been strengthened five times. There are two of them. One of them is the chief hunter canonized by the Empire and is also the current commander of the Empire Hunters.

There are twelve or thirteen hunters who have been strengthened four times, some of them are in the station, and others have been sent out. There are fifty or sixty people who have been strengthened three times, and they are the backbone of the force. They usually lead a team of hunters. Those who have been strengthened twice are the elites among the hunters.

, they are also the main force in conquering alien beasts, and the first time they are strengthened the most, there should be more than a thousand people."

Zhou Jing blinked.

He always felt that the size of the Empire Hunters was... smaller than he imagined.

However, when he thought about it carefully, he found that the population of the Alien Beast World was not that large to begin with. The standing army of the Terra Empire seemed to be only tens of thousands, and the proportion of imperial hunters with extraordinary combat power in the military force was already very high.

Moreover, most of the members of the Empire Hunters are sent to various places to maintain the security of cities and towns. They suffer high battle losses all year round, and there are additional casualties due to failure to strengthen. At least, dozens or hundreds of Hunters die every year. To be able to accumulate to the current scale, it is also

It's not easy anymore.

Although the number of people is limited, their combat effectiveness is terrifying.

A different blood warrior can fight against an army of dozens or hundreds of people, just like a super soldier. And one or two thousand super soldiers... On the cold weapon battlefield, I am afraid that the gods will kill the gods and the Buddhas against tens of thousands of people.

The imperial standing army can also destroy everything.

"If such a huge group of extraordinary powers unite, it won't be a matter of minutes to overthrow the Terra Empire?" Zhou Jing secretly exclaimed.

He suddenly discovered that the rule of the Terra Empire seemed stable, but in fact it was sitting in the crater of a volcano, and could be burned through by the lava ejected from under its butt at any time.

It can only be said that fortunately the ancient ideological traditions of the tribal era are still in effect. Most hunters have a high moral standard and like to exploit their sentiments. They only have eyes for crusading against alien beasts and protecting the people. Otherwise, Terra would have become a troubled world... As expected, Terra

It's still pretty cool, but in fact it's impossible to control the hunter group at all, most of it depends on consciousness.

Thoughts ran through his mind, Zhou Jing changed the subject without revealing anything on his face, and asked:

"By the way, how about the Empire Hunter's workshop? I've always heard that it's the highest level, but I haven't seen it before."

Cole nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, the Empire Hunter has the largest workshop in the country. The craftsmen in it are all elites, including master-level pharmacists and blacksmiths. They study various new craftsmanship techniques and new

Formulas for exotic blood medicines and the latest results will be given priority to us."

Zhou Jing smiled: "That's great. I've always wanted to do the third blood enhancement, but I've never found a suitable potion. I hope I can gain something here."

"...Do you plan to strengthen it three times?"

Cole's eyes suddenly lit up, like a tutor who heard that his student was going to take the PhD exam.

Even among the imperial hunters who have received the most generous resource supply, only a small number of them are willing to risk sudden death to continue strengthening with different blood.

Every time, I gamble my life and leave my life to the illusion of luck. It's okay once or twice, but after winning the bet a few times, I unconsciously become timid. Not everyone has this kind of courage.

Those who dare to continue to strengthen must either have a strong mentality and be brave and diligent.

...or he's a gambler.

Cole was a hunter who had been strengthened twice and did not dare to continue to strengthen. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little admiration for Zhou Jing - for those who dare to continue on the path of different blood, no matter whether they succeed or fail in the end, hunters will treat them differently.

The identity registration went smoothly. After filling it out, it was handed over to others for a simple review. Cole then took Zhou Jing to one of the training grounds for a practical test.

Seeing is believing, this is a necessary step to join the Empire Hunter. The hunter test is not all fancy, it is all actual combat.

The two of them went to the training ground and stood some distance apart.

"You strengthened it for the second time, and I also strengthened it for the second time. Let's have a fight and let me see your level."

Cole smiled and pulled out the special long knife on his back with his backhand. The blade was longer than the ordinary one, about 1.7 meters, and had a curvature, which was very useful for cutting giant creatures.

It looked like a weapon held by both hands, but he raised it steadily with one hand.

"Choose a weapon. You also like to use knives, right? What kind of knife?" Cole pursed his lips to the weapon rack on the side.

Zhou Jing looked at Cole's skillful holding of the knife, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was very happy to see him.

Oh, Tai Sword Man!

I met a good knife player, and I just happened to touch him.

He walked to the weapons rack, took a look, pulled out a long knife of the same style, and did a few tricks with it, as if he was instructing it with his arm.

Due to the improvement in swordsmanship qualifications, the training acceleration has returned to its original efficiency. Within two months of opening the map, [Weapon Mastery-Swordsmanship] was successfully upgraded to Lv5, and the proficiency has been greatly improved.

In addition, the increase in physical fitness and resistance qualifications has also slightly increased the speed of each hunter's breathing technique. In the past two months, they are only one step away from upgrading.

Cole's eyes became more serious when he saw Zhou Jing's skilled temperament after picking up the knife.

Although he has received systematic training, he does not underestimate the free-spirited hunters in the wild. It is a taboo to underestimate the enemy. Old hunters rarely make this mistake.

The shouts on the training ground subsided, and the hunters and apprentices who were exercising cast curious glances at the two people who started to confront each other in the corner of the training ground.

"Who is that person? I haven't seen him before."

"She must be a new hunter, I don't know what level she is."

Everyone talked quietly.

Cole observed Zhou Jing's posture, looking for flaws. Seeing that Zhou Jing showed no sign of attacking, he was not polite and rushed on the ground.

bass!

The long blade thrust forward, and the cold light on the tip of the knife trembled, like a sweeping stream of light.

Zhou Jing blinked his eyes, instead of retreating, he advanced forward, sliding forward, holding the handle of the knife with one hand, and the back of the knife with the other, making a round crescent moon.

The thrusting long knife was deflected by the blade, creating a streak of sparks and causing a short and sharp sound of metal friction.

Zhou Jing flicked his wrist and easily deflected Cole's weapon, and narrowed his eyes.

Slow, too slow.

Light, too light.

Both were strengthened for the second time, but Cole's speed and strength were too weak in his eyes and there was no pressure.

After reaching the second level of physical fitness, the attributes may not seem to be much different, but the characteristics they bring make the physical quality completely different. There is a clear gap between the physical fitness of the first level and the agility and flexibility are greatly enhanced.

Cole's movements seemed to be in slow motion in Zhou Jing's eyes.

Jason's attributes were originally higher than those of a normal secondary enhanced hunter, and with his special traits, he is now even more capable.

After realizing Cole's strength, Zhou Jing knew what he was doing. Instead of using his explosive physical strength to directly crush him, he controlled his strength and speed to a level comparable to Cole's and simply fought with his opponent with swordsmanship.

On the one hand, I want to save some face for the other party. On the other hand, I also want to fight with a master of swordsmanship for a longer time... It is not easy to find someone to fight with each other, and then we can get more comfortable.

The dust on the training ground was flying. The two of them were going back and forth, and the swords were flashing. The two of them moved to avoid the continuous cold light, wiping their bodies and piercing the air.

The sword light rolled into a ball, and the sound of whistling through the air was intertwined with the sound of clear chiming.

Various knife skills such as chopping, cutting across, thrusting, parrying, etc., appeared one after another in the hands of the two people, which was dazzling and at the same time extremely precise.

The two apprentices were dazzled by their superb swordsmanship, and they all stopped their exercises and gathered around to watch.
