Within two days, the first lord of the surrounding city arrived in a hurry and led his team to meet with the Imperial Hunter team and successfully took over Deep Rock City.

When the professionals arrived, the hunter team no longer stayed. After handing over to the lord, they took the Cloud Spinosaurus carcass that had been processed by the craftsmen and set off to leave.

The surviving civilians were very grateful to the Imperial hunters who were accidentally involved in the incident but eventually became the saviors of Deep Rock City. Although the property losses were considerable, they still collected some food and gave it to Zhou Jing and others as rations on the road.

The outline of Deep Rock City was left behind in the distance. Zhou Jing and his party pulled the Cloud Spinosaurus along the road. Compared with when they came, there were two more people in the team.

One was Duodun, whose limbs were broken and tied to a cart. His thrice-strengthened physique ensured that he would not die easily. His jaw was dislocated and he could not speak. He could only moan and sob weakly.

The other one was Lin En, who brought simple luggage, put on a thick burqa, held a wooden stick and cane in his hand, and was dressed like a traveler.

After thinking about it, he finally decided to agree to Zhou Jing's invitation, end his secluded life, and leave with Zhou Jing.

Lin En didn't think too far ahead about his future plans. However, after this night of turmoil, he used witchcraft to defeat the alien warriors for the first time and used his strength to protect himself. Finally, he no longer wanted to be ordinary, and he made up his mind to start a new life.

The door to the new world.

Lin En doesn't have much trust in Zhou Jing, but as Zhou Jing said, this is his most suitable teammate at present, so he simply goes together. He is not very proactive and doesn't mind living in the royal capital, mainly with Zhou Jing

Forming a team, hoping that Zhou Jing promised to protect him in the future to find the spirit of nature.

However, Cole and other hunters were confused and did not understand Zhou Jing's intention of bringing a civilian.

"Why take him with you? Is there anything special about him?"

At the front of the team, Cole leaned into Zhou Jing's ear and asked softly.

Zhou Jing chuckled: "It's nothing special. Didn't I save him before? His house was burned down and he planned to move to the royal capital. We simply took him with us."

Cole accepted this explanation and didn't mind protecting a civilian who was passing by. He turned back and looked at Linn who was sitting on the cart.

Lin En has a slightly delicate appearance and looks younger than her actual age of 26 or 7. She has small arms and legs and a rather thin figure.

However, after merging with the spirit of nature, his physical fitness has been slightly improved, making him healthier than the average adult and comparable to a soldier who has received long-term exercise.

"So that's it. I thought you accepted him as a hunter apprentice... Although he looks thin, he has good physical strength and has potential." Cole clicked his tongue, his fiery eyes wandering around Linn, full of excitement.

Examine with interest.

Lin En's anus tightened when he looked at him, and she turned sideways unnaturally, not daring to look directly.

…

Marching all the way, it soon came to night, and the team found an open grassland to camp and lit a bonfire.

Hunters usually camp out in the open air and track exotic animals. They usually only bring some dried meat and dried vegetable cakes as food. This time they rescued Deep Rock City and got a lot of food materials donated by the civilians. They had time to cook on the way back.

A few people took out the iron pot given by Deep Rock City from their luggage, threw in some vegetables, and cut some useless parts of meat from the Cloudlophosaurus using local materials, and threw it directly into the pot to make a stew.

Because there are no seasonings, the taste is not that great, but the ingredients are so good, the meat of the exotic beast is quite delicious, and the stew is quite soft. Put it in your mouth and chew it, your teeth can easily chew up the stew, giving it a meaty aroma.

The soup juice instantly fills your mouth.

The hunter's appetite was astonishing, and he cut several rounds of meat from the Yunlophysosaurus and threw it into the pot, just like a self-service stew pot, where he could add vegetables anytime and anywhere.

The group of people ate about eight times full, packed up their things, and took a rest.

Zhou Jing took the initiative to keep vigil until all the hunters were asleep, then woke up Lin En, went to the side to communicate in a low voice, and asked about his experience in witchcraft practice.

According to the records in the broken book, there is only one way to perform witchcraft, which is to integrate the spirit of nature.

The first step is to sense the natural elements and enter a state called "Elemental Vision". Otherwise, it is impossible to integrate the spirit of nature.

The method is recorded in the book, and according to the explanation, this can test whether a person has the potential to practice witchcraft.

The main world also has a wizard system, but it is not the same thing as the "wizards" recorded in the broken books.

In Zhou Jing's opinion, the spell system in the world of alien beasts should be called "shaman" or "element wizard". It is a primitive and special spell form that does not focus on knowledge as much as the spell casting system in the main world.

Accumulation is more inclined to the use of spirit and mind power.

"...I followed the content in the book and sensed the natural elements after one try. Because I am the only one who has practiced it myself, I am not sure whether you can succeed..."

Lin En lowered his voice and held a small wooden box filled with blue paste in his hand. He kept drawing out a little bit of it with his fingers and smearing it on Zhou Jing's exposed upper body.

The residual writing of witchcraft says that the method for ordinary people to sense elements requires auxiliary materials. Crush several special herbs and minerals, add water and stir them into an ointment, then draw special symbols on the body, and then through a state of concentration similar to meditation,

Can slowly enter the elemental field of vision.

Only after integrating the spirit of nature, this kind of ritual is no longer needed. Elemental vision can be opened anytime and anywhere, and Lin En can do it.

Soon, the symbols were drawn, and the ointment was smeared on the body and felt cool.

Zhou Jing checked it and made sure it was correct with the symbols on the book.

"If you empty your mind, you can imagine a ball of fire and concentrate on how it burns. This will help you get rid of all kinds of distracting thoughts." Lin En shared his experience.

Zhou Jing did as he was told, sitting on the ground, closing his eyes and meditating.

From time to time, the wind blows, and the ointment feels colder, but as time passes, the ointment gradually condenses and dries, as if it is covered with dry mud.

Zhou Jing has never sensed any natural elements, and the world he perceives has not changed.

"It doesn't seem to work, try again."

Wiping off the dried ointment, Linn applied new symbols.

Zhou Jing tried twice more, but still failed.

He raised his hand to reject Lin En's offer to come again, shook his head and said:

"No need to continue, it seems I don't have the potential."

Contacting the [Secret of Witchcraft] achievement that was triggered at that time, he already understood the situation. If he wanted to sense elements, he would probably need the qualification of "magic" or "nature affinity".

However, the second astral apostle "Jason" did not have the qualifications in this area. Zhou Jing had already had a vague hunch, so he just gave it a try with a come-it-all attitude. Unfortunately, there was no surprise.

Although there are small qualification improvement rewards for "Magic" and "Nature Affinity" in his hands, the foundation of these two "Jason" qualifications is too low, not even the white level, and it is estimated that even if he uses them, he will not be able to reach the level of cultivation.

threshold.

"Don't be sad..." Lin En didn't know what to say, and was afraid that Zhou Jing would not be able to accept the reality and would be angry with him.

"Nothing, it's not a big deal."

Zhou Jing wiped himself dry and put on his clothes again, but he didn't show any signs of disappointment.

This made Lin En feel relieved, but she was surprised that Zhou Jing was so open-minded and calm.

Zhou Jing was not too disappointed - it would be best if Jason could practice witchcraft. If not, at least he knew the qualification requirements. If there was an opportunity to create an astral apostle in the future, he could recruit people in this direction.

"Besides, Bill might be able to practice witchcraft."

Zhou Jing's thoughts changed and he felt that the chance was not small.

"Bill" does not have magic qualifications, but his natural affinity qualifications have reached the green level, which is much better than "Jason", and he may be able to enter the elemental field of vision.

It's a pity. I originally wanted Jason to be a dual practitioner of magic and martial arts, as well as a "different blood warrior" and an "elemental wizard" profession. It seems that this apostle can only be a muscle stick...

That's okay, this apostle focuses on physical development, at least purely.

Zhou Jing smacked his lips.

He is not discouraged. As long as there is another eternal apostle who becomes a shaman, he can transform his spellcasting ability into his own body and let his body embark on the path of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts. There is still hope.

You can give it a try... Zhou Jing secretly set a new small goal.

…

Although he failed to get started with witchcraft, Zhou Jing did not neglect Lin En. He kept asking for advice on Lin En's practice experience and deliberately built a closer relationship with him.

Lin En realized that Zhou Jing had no magic qualifications, but it made him easier to talk to. He no longer had to worry about Zhou Jing abandoning him after he became a wizard. There was less awkwardness in his heart, and the two of them got along much more naturally.

The team trekked all the way, the road was calm and there were no more twists and turns, and finally returned to the royal capital at noon one day.

Everyone's journey was faster than the news. When they returned, the news of the rebellion in Deep Rock City had not yet reached the royal capital. No one knew about it, and everything was peaceful and peaceful.

Zhou Jing and others immediately reported the matter to Crebo. Crebo was shocked. He took a few people to understand what happened in detail, then hurriedly left the Empire Hunter Station and ran to report to the Empire.

It wasn't until dusk that Kleiber returned to his station, went straight to Zhou Jing, and got straight to the point:

"Jace, get ready and follow me into the palace to meet the king!"

Hearing this, Zhou Jing's eyes moved.
