The world of alien beasts.

There are wisps of white clouds and the sky is as blue as a wash.

The sapphire-like river surrounds the black-shirted forest and separates the verdant wilderness. There is a village beside the river, with smoke floating in the air.

Far away from the village, in a section of the river where there is no one around, the gentle and slow flowing water is washing the pebbles in the river bed day after day.

At this moment, a light spot suddenly lit up at the bottom of the river, and the water flow suddenly converged to form a transparent human shape. Then different colors emerged, and the material reorganized into the body of the astral apostle.

Wow!

The body suddenly sat up from the bottom of the river, spitting out a mouthful of water with a small, confused fish fry in it.

"Good guy, you really know how to choose a place!"

Zhou Jing quickly stood up from the river and climbed to the shore. His soaked rough clothes clung to his body. Being blown by the cold wind, his skin suddenly felt stretched all over his body.

Zhou Jing shivered and looked a little helpless.

At least it was just a piece of wood last time, but this time it was made directly of water. He didn't dare to think about what it would be next time.

If this person was born in a manure pit and used years of chemical fertilizers to reorganize the body, it would be better to commit suicide on the spot by swallowing manure, turn the original soup into original food, and quickly start the next one.

After the second birth, Zhou Jing was already familiar with the process. He looked at the reflection on the river to confirm the appearance of the astral apostle.

Well, he has strong facial features, clean and neat hair, and a tall and strong body... I got it right, he is half as handsome as his real self.

Zhou Jing jumped on the spot twice, feeling his body light and more powerful than "Will Wood's" body.

"This time's physical fitness is 10 points, which is 1 point higher than last time. The actual change in feeling is quite obvious... It's just that my senses don't seem to be as sharp as last time. It's no wonder, after all, my talents are different."

Zhou Jing tried for a while, then called up the panel and glanced at it.

[Estimated length of stay: 7~10 days]

[Current synchronization rate: 10%]

"I have increased my travel time by two hours. My stay in the World of Alien Beasts is two or three days longer than last time. It seems that the current time flow rate difference should be one hour in the main world and close to one day here.

However, the time flow rate difference will also fluctuate and may change in the future."

Zhou Jing didn't dwell too much on this. He looked at the synchronization rate and then at the trait file.

He has a strong personality, a martial style, and pursues strength...

Based on his simple experience analysis, this is somewhat of a martial arts fanatic.

As for perseverance, I have a bit of this trait, and it seems that it will be easy to synchronize this time.

Zhou Jing climbed up to the river beach and looked up. He soon saw a group of small houses in the distance with smoke rising from their cooking pots. It was probably Shuangmu Village.

"Fortunately, it's not too far... let's get the followers out first and have a look."

Zhou Jing looked around, and while there was no one around, he activated the auxiliary function in the panel and summoned his followers.

rustle--

The sand a few meters away suddenly spun and flew, and in an instant it turned into an expressionless man with a popular face, who was none other than the follower Ross who had been kneaded before.

"This is the entourage?"

Zhou Jing was very interested and circled around him.

Ross stayed where he was, following Zhou Jing with his eyes.

"Why do you feel so dull?"

Ross:(→_→)

"Speaking of how to operate the followers...can you speak?"

Ross:(←_←)

"Can you communicate in sign language?"

Ross:(→_→)

"Well, it seems that's not possible... Could you please stop looking at me? It's quite scary."

Ross:(←_→)

Damn it!

My eyeballs are almost turned upside down!

"Stop it! Just look at me!"

Ross:(o_O)

Zhou Jing wiped his cold sweat.

My eyeballs have finally returned to their normal positions. Why are they still one big and one small? Did I just hit a nerve...

He didn't dare to fool around with this follower anymore, for fear that some unhuman behavior would appear again.

After a little testing, he found that the follower only needed to give verbal instructions...lie down when he was told, and drink water when he was told. Apart from being a bit rigid, there was no other problem.

The junior follower is clumsy. Rose looks naive and has no ability to communicate, but he can save all the images he has seen with his own eyes. Zhou Jing can check the other party's experience log through physical contact.

Moreover, he can vaguely sense the direction of his followers to prevent them from getting lost.

"Looking at the bright side, at least it can be used as a guide or an eye position... just follow me first."

Zhou Jing explored it clearly, nodded, and walked towards the village in the distance.

Ross followed closely behind.

…

After walking for a while, Shuangmu Village gradually came closer, and the scene came into view.

This is a quiet and peaceful small village, built next to the river. There are three mills on the river, a small stone bridge on the river, and the Blackshirt Forest on the other side of the river.

Surrounding it are farmland surrounded by fences, and sections of low walls surround the village to outline the boundaries.

At a cursory glance, there are dozens of houses scattered in the village, made of stone bricks of different sizes, with yellow roofs and gray walls.

Zhou Jing took Ross along a dirt road towards the village. Farmers working in the fields on the roadside noticed the two of them and looked up curiously.

As soon as they entered the village, their two unfamiliar faces attracted more passers-by to watch.

"Who are these two people?"

"It doesn't seem like he's from the village..."

Curious and vigilant eyes focused on the two of them. The villagers whispered and followed cautiously, as if they wanted to see what the two were doing when they entered the village.

Zhou Jing noticed that a young villager ran away, seemingly to inform someone. He thought for a moment, turned and walked towards the cemetery.

The cemetery is located on the edge of the village, with tombstones scattered high and low.

Under the cautious and doubtful gazes of the villagers, Zhou Jing walked into the cemetery and searched for a while before finally finding his target.

He stopped in front of a tombstone with two paragraphs written on it:

"The Grave of Will Wood"

"A brave soul sleeps here"

'This is where my last body is buried...'

Zhou Jing raised his hand and touched the tombstone. There was no dust floating on it. It seemed that someone had taken care of it and wiped it regularly.

Is this considered sweeping my own grave? It feels quite subtle.

Not long after, there was a sudden noise outside the cemetery.

The crowd of onlookers parted, and three hunters with bows and knives on their backs hurried over.

The leader was Griff. Looking at this stranger who suddenly came to the village, he spoke warily and asked:

"Who are you? What are you doing in Frostwood Village?"

Zhou Jing looked back and his eyes suddenly lit up.

The three hunters are all familiar faces. When I controlled the last apostle, I fought side by side with them.

Hearing the question, Zhou Jing smiled inwardly and did not answer immediately. Instead, he pointed to the tombstone, deliberately made a heavy expression, and asked:

"Do you know him?"

"Huh?" Grif made a confused nasal sound.

He couldn't help but look up and down Zhou Jing's body this time, secretly curious about the origin of this stranger.

Just now, the villagers came to notify that two suspicious men had entered the village and went straight to the cemetery. Grif immediately brought people over.

He still didn't know the origins of the two outsiders, but now he noticed that the two people stopped in front of Will Wood's grave, seeming to express their condolences.

Could it be that these two people have something to do with Will Wood?

Grif was secretly shocked.

Unsure of Zhou Jing's purpose, Grif thought for a while and answered truthfully:

"I know him. He is a lost traveler we met in the forest."

"Why is he buried here? How did he die?"

Zhou Jing asked questions knowingly and deliberately appeared to have a deep expression.

Griff became more and more confused about Zhou Jing's identity, and worried about causing misunderstanding, he answered honestly:

"We happened to be hunting exotic animals in the forest, and happened to meet Will. He asked us for help, so we took him with us, planning to take him out of the forest after completing the hunt.

But while hunting, we were attacked by the nearby Earth Bone Man, and Will was unfortunately poisoned. I took him back to the village for treatment, but I couldn't save his life, so I buried him here..."

Speaking of this, Grif looked a little sad.

Although some time had passed, he was still brooding over Will's death.

Zhou Jing thought for a while and asked, "How long has he been dead?"

"About twenty-eight days."

Twenty-eight days... It has been about a day and a half since I last returned to the main world. It seems that the flow of time still fluctuates, but it is about an hour in the main world, which is close to a day in the world of alien beasts.

Zhou Jing was thinking about it in his mind, with a calm expression on his face, and said slowly: "Did he die heroically?"

"certainly!"

Grif didn't hesitate.

After a pause, he explained: "Although Will is not a hunter, he fought side by side with us and helped us kill the strange beasts... If it weren't for him, I might have died. He saved my life!"

At this point, Griff couldn't help but be curious anymore and said in confusion:

"You ask me so many things about Will, who are you?"

You finally asked...

Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, patted the tombstone, and sighed deeply:

"Will...he is my dear brother!"

Grif and the two hunters beside him were stunned at the same time.

What, Will has a brother?!

And they even came to your door!

Grif subconsciously said:

"Then your name is..."

Zhou Jing raised his eyes, looked directly at Grif, and said word by word:

"My name is...Jason Wood!"
