In the next few days, Zhou Jing followed the hunter team in the forest to find hunting targets.

Zhou Jing practiced while traveling, as if he was tireless. Whenever he had time, he would seek advice from Grif on various things. When other hunters were free, in order to relieve their boredom, they would come over from time to time to give pointers.

In addition to the skills of using daggers, Grieve also gave brief instructions on the skills of hunting knives and some wilderness survival skills, which are displayed on the panel as [Weapon Mastery-Hunting Knife] and [Wild Survival].

Zhou Jing also turned on the practice acceleration function, and the costs are 30 astral points and 20 astral points respectively.

As for bow and arrow skills, the hunter had no intention of teaching him.

Zhou Jing didn't mind either. Practicing acceleration meant that he didn't have to multitask, and his energy was limited. He learned three skills in a cram-like manner in just a few days, and the knowledge was fully injected.

The level of these skills is Lv0, which means they have not been learned yet and will not be included in the skill column.

He squeezed out as much time as possible to practice the three abilities while on the road, and on the fourth day, he finally got rid of the blank slate attributes - [Weapon Mastery-Dagger], [Weapon Mastery-Hunting Knife], and [Wild Survival]

After reaching Lv1 one after another, the suffix is ​​displayed as "beginner" level.

The practice acceleration effect ended. Zhou Jing thought about it and did not choose to renew.

On the one hand, as you reach a higher skill level, the cost of practicing acceleration increases, and you only have 305 astral points left in your hand, so you have to use them sparingly. Another reason is that the estimated stay time on the panel is five

To seven days, and it has been four days since I arrived.

Speaking of which, I don't know how the number of days of stay is calculated, and how the standard of "one day" is determined. Even the length of a day is different on different planets, not to mention the main world and the current plane... I don't know what the formula is.

Perhaps it is determined based on the time spent by the body? After the consciousness is released, the time spent by the body in the main world is converted using the time flow rate difference, and finally the time spent in the star realm is obtained, and then converted into days?

Zhou Jing lacked information in this area and could only make random guesses. However, he had roughly estimated the length of a day in this world in the past few days, which was similar to the planet where the main world body lived.

In contrast, he was more curious about what form his return would take after his stay expired. Was it that his body suddenly disappeared, or was it something else... He did not receive this information.

He knew it when he returned, and Zhou Jing was not too entangled.

After the three skills were upgraded, he did not show them out of caution.

A beginner's level was nothing to a hunter, but he felt that in the minds of these people, it was impossible for a person to make such a big improvement in such a short period of time, so he might have suspected that he had hidden something before.

, was suspected for nothing.

Because in the past, I had to make some insinuations in order to get information, and now I am quite suspicious. It is better to do less than to do more.

Zhou Jing himself is used to keeping a low profile, which is similar to the "cautious" trait of this astral apostle.

Along the way, except when he had to talk, he maintained a cautious attitude in most cases. The synchronization rate of this astral apostle gradually increased to 26%, but he did not feel any changes for the time being.

The trip to Zhou Jing was relatively safe and fulfilling, and on the afternoon of the fourth day, the hunter team finally came close to the hunting target of this trip.

…

"We are very close. The white spider monster is not far ahead."

Baron squatted on the ground, picked up a branch, stirred a pool of white marks on the ground, and stirred up the stringy mucus.

There was more white slime on the forest floor ahead, intermittent, forming a winding trail that extended into the forest.

Balon threw away the branch, stood up, and ordered in a deep voice:

"Everyone organizes weapons and prepares bait. We will set up traps and ambush circles in front."

The other hunters looked serious, took off their quivers to check the status of each arrow inside, and then took out pieces of tightly wrapped offal of wild beasts from their bags.

These were all taken out from the bodies of the dozen snake wolves four days ago. They were all rotting now. The hunting at that time was to obtain these baits.

"The white spider monster is a scavenger and likes animal offal the most. As long as we can use these baits to lure it into the trap, we will get an advantage and maybe we can easily solve this target."

Grif stood next to Zhou Jing and explained casually, still turning over the soft rotten animal offal in his hand, his expression as usual, as if the pungent stench did not exist.

Zhou Jing tried his best to resist the urge to cover his nose and asked in a low voice: "What does the white spider monster you are talking about look like?"

The goal of this hunter team is to kill this strange beast. He has been listening to the hunters saying that strange beasts are dangerous along the way, but he has never actually seen it, and he still has no intuitive concept in his mind.

"The whole body is white, and it secretes white mucus. The key point is in the abdomen... Well, actually I haven't seen it before. It's also my first time to hunt this kind of strange beast. The information was told to us by Captain Baron. He came to Frostwood Village

Before, I was a free hunter, hunting exotic animals everywhere, and I am well-informed. I am now a senior exotic animal hunter."

Balon heard the conversation between the two, looked back, and waved his hand to deny:

"I'm not yet a senior...I may have enough experience, but my strength is far behind. I don't have the guts to take a second dose of alien blood potion."

The alien blood potion can be taken multiple times to strengthen it, but each time it is taken, the chance of survival becomes lower... Zhou Jing had already heard Griff say it on the way.

"As for you..." Balon looked at Zhou Jing and said, "You don't have to hunt with us. You can find a secret place nearby to hide, or you can climb up a tree and come back after we finish hunting.

you."

"I'll go with you to help set up traps. When the fight breaks out, I'll climb up a tree and hide."

Zhou Jing didn't plan to stay, it would be too passive.

If this group of hunters failed, they would not be able to get out of the forest even if they hid themselves. In such a cold and desolate situation, they might as well act together with the large group and not fall behind.

Moreover, he also wanted to collect intelligence and see what the strange beasts looked like, so that he could have a clear understanding of the dangers of this world, which would facilitate his planning of actions in the future.

Dean heard this and shook his head in opposition:

"I don't think so. We can just take him with us along the way, but during the official hunt, we don't have the energy to take care of him."

"That's not a problem. You don't need to worry about me during the fight. I'll just hide on the side. And I might be able to help, such as standing guard on the edge of the battlefield. If other beasts stray in, I can notify you." Zhou Jing argued.

Dean wanted to say something else, but Baron raised his hand to signal him to shut up.

Baron touched his beard, thought for a few seconds, and nodded: "That's okay. It's already evening. We will most likely hunt late at night. You have really good observation skills. Then we can hide in a tree further away."

.When we fight, just help us pay attention to the situation around us, and don’t need to do other unnecessary things.”

"good."

Zhou Jing immediately agreed.

During these days of getting along, he has discovered that the values ​​​​of these hunters are subtly different from those of people in the interstellar era. At least they are more likely to trust others.

This is also the main reason why I, a guy with unknown origins, can be accepted.

If it were modern times, it wouldn't be so easy.

Seeing this, many hunters did not express any further opinions and started preparing in silence.

Baron led his team members forward for a while, found an area suitable for an ambush, and set up a trap. Then he dropped the rotting animal offal to create a guidance route, with the end pointing here.

It wasn't until dark that everything was ready. Everyone climbed up the tree and waited quietly for the prey to come.

…

As the night fell, the forest became quiet, leaving only the sound of leaves swaying in the breeze.

Everyone hid in different trees, no one talked or chatted, they tried not to move, and their breath almost disappeared.

If Zhou Jing didn't know where they were hiding, it would be difficult for Zhou Jing to distinguish them.

He was also hiding in the tree, hiding in the farthest position, paying attention to the wind and grass around him from time to time, and silently estimating the time in his heart.

"They have been waiting for almost three hours. Are they planning to stay here all night? Their bodies will be frozen..."

I don't know how long it took, but a strange crawling sound sounded, gradually approaching.

swish swish——

A huge silhouette emerged in the night, moving quickly through the forest, heading this way, stopping and stopping along the way, as if it was swallowing the bait laid out by the hunters.

Not long after, this creature stepped into the forest. Zhou Jing saw its appearance clearly and his breath was suffocated.

The monster's torso is divided into two parts, the upper and lower parts. The lower body is like a spider's abdomen, with eight furry limbs extending out to support the body and walk. The upper body is an upright and slender trunk, with a beast's head with ferocious fangs on top.

It was chewing rotten internal organs used as bait in its mouth, and there were slender humanoid arms on each side, with huge asymmetrical claws at the end.

It is five to six meters long and about four and a half meters tall. The upper body is covered with pale white skin, like a thin film. Occasionally, cyan blood vessels can be seen bulging under the skin. The lower body is covered with a black carapace. As it walks, its tail trembles from time to time.

It leaves white mucus behind, and the overall look is very menacing. It is a style of painting that can scare children to tears just by looking at it.

"Is this the white spider monster they are hunting, the so-called alien beast?"

Zhou Jing was shocked.

Small and unique, looks really exciting!

It’s only a little worse than me pinching people in games!

The white spider monster picked up the entrails of animals and stuffed them into its mouth, walked into the center of the trap, picked up the last piece of bait, and the ground suddenly collapsed.

Boom!

The white spider monster dwarfed and fell straight into the underground trap.

A dense clicking sound suddenly sounded, and the spikes hidden in the underground trap were crushed by the white spider monster's tough lower body carapace.

But there are still some sharp thorns inserted into the vital part of the white spider monster's lower abdomen, which is its soft belly.

"Sizzling——"

A shrill howl suddenly broke out, instantly breaking the silence of the forest at night.

As if this was a signal, many hunters hiding in the trees immediately polished the flints and threw them into the caves.

Not only did they put spikes in the crypt trap, they also coated it with animal fat and lit it on fire.

call!

In the crypt, a fire burst into flames.

The flames engulfed the howling white spider monster, making the dark forest suddenly brighter. It was like a huge bonfire.

"Fire the arrow!"

With a loud shout, a rain of arrows poured out, instantly turning the struggling figure in the cave into a hedgehog.

One arrow followed another, as if they would not stop until the quiver was empty... It was difficult to miss such a big target!

On the other side, Zhou Jing hid in the treetops and observed secretly.

He knew what kind of trap the hunters had prepared, so he was not surprised at this moment. He stared closely at the figure that gradually stopped struggling in the firelight, muttering in his heart.
To be continued...
