Shuangmu Village is not big, so the two of them soon arrived at the longhouse in the center of the village and met the village chief of Shuangmu Village.

The village chief is a middle-aged and elderly man with gray hair on his temples, wrinkles on his face, and calluses on his hands from years of using farm tools. His figure is slightly stooped and he looks very down-to-earth.

Grif explained his intention to Zhou Jing, and the village chief agreed on the spot without saying a word.

"I heard from Baron and Grif about Will. Your brother is a brave man and has been kind to our village... If all the hunters die, the village will lose its protective power."

Across the table, the village chief rubbed the back of his hand and spoke with emotion.

"How many hunters are there in the village now?" Zhou Jing asked calmly.

Hearing this, Grif intervened and explained:

"There are only five left. You have already seen me and the other two hunters. Captain Baron and another injured hunter are still recovering from their injuries, so we have not been hunting during this period."

Zhou Jing nodded and thought about it in his mind.

There were five hunters left... He remembered that there were six people who escaped in total, three of them were poisoned, but only his last apostle died of serious injuries.

It's a bit weird... Zhou Jing narrowed his eyes.

This is not to say that his thoughts are dark, but according to rational judgment, with the physical quality of his last apostle, ordinary Orions should not survive, but his own apostle should not survive. Since ordinary Orions can survive, the apostles should also be able to survive.

As for Baron surviving, it is not surprising. This man has extraordinary resistance and can survive even if the injury is more serious.

He couldn't help but think of the scene in the [Death Replay] where the old man said that the potion had run out, and he intuitively felt that something was wrong.

At this time, the village chief sighed, shook his head and said:

"Balon said that your brother is very talented. He is very sorry. Otherwise, our village might have an official hunter of exotic beasts... It's a pity that Will was injured too seriously and even the witch doctor couldn't save him."

Zhou Jing's heart moved.

"Is the witch doctor the village doctor?"

"Well, he was originally a wandering pharmacist. We invited him to stay a few years ago. He promised to stay in the village and make potions, and the requirement was to let our team of hunters go into the forest to collect herbs for him."

This person is probably the doctor who used "Tiao Da Shen" to treat me...

Zhou Jing squinted his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

My plan is to stay in the village and have time to explore slowly in the future. As an outsider who has just arrived, it is not appropriate to question someone who has been a doctor in the village for several years.

At this time, the village chief shook his head and returned to the topic:

"Jason, you are welcome to stay in Frostwood Village. We do have a shortage of manpower in many places, farmers, blacksmiths, hunters... What exactly do you want to do?"

Zhou Jing did not hesitate and said readily: "Being a hunter is more suitable for me."

The only exotic beast hunter he knows now is Balon. If he wants to obtain extraordinary power, he must approach Balon as a hunter. This is a plan he has thought of for a long time.

Upon hearing Zhou Jing's choice, the village chief immediately became happy. Now the hunter team in Shuangmu Village is seriously damaged and needs manpower the most.

Although the Terra Empire has been established for about forty years, alien beasts are still the main threat, especially in wild villages like Frostwood Village, where every hunter is precious.

Not only because of the kindness of Zhou Jing's "brother", this outsider himself is also the labor force that the village desperately needs.

But Grif was not so happy. Although the contact between the two was short, he respected Zhou Jing's character and couldn't help but remind him:

"Hunters need years of training. You can't just become a hunter. I advise you to think about it again. Not everyone is born as strong as your brother."

Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows and laughed:

"You might not believe it... I'm stronger than my brother!"

Griff was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at Zhou Jing up and down with suspicion.

It's not that he looks down on people, but "Will Wood" is the strongest ordinary person he has ever seen. Even Captain Baron, who has seen a lot, said it is extremely rare, one in a million.

Although you are Will's brother, it doesn't mean that you are so strong. The probability is too low...

I'm afraid I'm not bragging, don't think I'm a country boy just because I'm from the country!

Seeing Grif's disbelief, Zhou Jing did not explain, stood up and came behind Grif, held the chair with both hands, and exerted force.

Amidst a burst of exclamations, Zhou Jing directly lifted him up with the chair, showing great ease. He even did a few curls at will and bumped Griff a few times.

——"Jason Wood" The physical fitness of this body has reached 10 points, which is higher than the previous apostle. Lifting a person is as light as nothing, and the whole body is filled with a sense of strength, and the energy seems to be inexhaustible.

"Stop, stop, stop, I believe it!"

Grif landed quickly, with a face full of surprise. He couldn't help but reach out and squeeze Zhou Jing's arm. The touch felt like fine iron.

Are they really so strong? What did these two brothers eat growing up?

Grif was extremely surprised.

"Why are you like this too?"

"There's no way, our Wood family has strong abilities, genes... well, good bloodline!"

Grif was a little stunned: "Ah? Are everyone in your family like this?"

"That's right, our Wood family is born with supernatural powers, and we are all strong men!"

Zhou Jing laughed and patted Griff on the back hard, making a muffled sound.

Ah! The bones are going to break!

Grif almost staggered from the slap and grimaced in pain.

But that didn't stop him from getting excited.

The stronger this Jason Wood is, the better it will be for the village, which means the hunters have a powerful companion!

Moreover, since the death of "Will Wood", Captain Barron has been thinking about food and drink. He talks about the loss of such a good young man every day. Now that he sees an equally strong and muscular man, he will definitely be very excited!

Grif rubbed his shoulders and said impatiently:

"You are indeed very suitable to be a hunter. I will take you to see Captain Baron now!"

"Okay." Zhou Jing naturally had no objection.

The village chief on the side smiled happily and was happy that the village got a strong manpower. He said cheerfully:

"Then on behalf of Frostwood Village, I welcome you to stay."

As he said that, the village chief turned to look at Ross, who was silent beside him, and asked curiously: "What about your companion? Does he also want to be a hunter?"

"Well, let's talk about this later."

Zhou Jing was ambiguous.

He hasn't fully thought about how to arrange Ross. The current idea is to let Ross develop first and learn some secondary jobs, such as blacksmith, pharmacist, etc., to provide logistical support.

After all, in terms of combat, Ross, a blank slate, probably won't be able to help much in a short period of time, so he still needs to practice first.

…

On the other side of Frostwood Village, Baron's residence.

Baron was sitting at the door of the house, lazily basking in the sun, with some linen bandages wrapped around his body.

From time to time, villagers passed by and greeted him in a friendly manner, and he nodded in response.

"It's another sunny day... I should be able to recover from my injuries faster."

Balon muttered to himself and touched the injured area. It was almost healed.

He was seriously injured in the last sneak attack by the Earth Bone Man, and he has been recuperating until now.

He is an exotic animal hunter stationed in Shuangmu Village. Unlike the local hunters, he has no family here and is alone. His task is to train hunters and lead hunting teams. When he occasionally finds traces of exotic animals, he picks up an ax and fights for it. He lives a lonely and miserable life.

Full of danger.

Although many farmers' daughters are curious about the exotic beast hunter and have hinted on more than one occasion that they want to go into the barn with him, Balon usually doesn't show any pretense and mostly uses exercise to develop his sexual power.

In his eyes, a true hunter of exotic beasts should never pursue power, wealth or priority in mating. They should either hunt exotic beasts or exercise with iron.

It’s just that since the establishment of the Terra Empire, the ancient profession of exotic beast hunter has become increasingly impure...

Baron sighed secretly.

People who have been strengthened by different blood are only called different blood warriors, not exotic beast hunters. The former is only the entry requirement for the latter.

Alien beast hunters need to be proficient in combat skills, learn how to fight alien beasts, undergo long-term training, and finally participate in a successful hunt to be considered a master, and then they are qualified to call themselves "exotic beast hunters."

In the wilderness era, each tribe had its own method of training exotic beast hunters, and they basically only fought for their own tribe.

After the establishment of the Terra Empire, some of the training methods were integrated to train more exotic beast hunters, who were then assigned to deal with the threats of alien beasts in various places under its jurisdiction, or to stay permanently in certain territories.

But Balon is not this kind of "Imperial Hunter", he is another type.

When he was young, he accidentally met a wandering exotic beast hunter. He was attracted by the hunter and took him with him to teach him. Finally, he was strengthened by the alien blood potion and became a free hunter. This is also a common situation, and the imperial hunter

They are also one of the mainstream groups of exotic beast hunters.

Freelance hunters or expatriate empire hunters will occasionally meet some ordinary people who are worthy of training, and they will basically not be stingy with their teachings - this is the tradition of this ancient profession.

Alien beasts have always been the main threat to survival. For the sake of the entire human race, the vast majority of alien beast hunters are willing to train new people. This is also training partners who may fight side by side in the future.

Baron couldn't help but think of "Will Wood" again, and sighed deeply in his heart.

Even after dozens of days, he still regretted it every time he thought about it.
