CH 157

Amidst Little Black #1’s terrifying howl, Zhou Jing picked it up.

The other two hyenas were so frightened by this strange scene that they wanted to escape… Anyone who saw their own kind being used as weapons by the enemy would panic.

However, they did not manage to escape. Zhou Jing caught up to the two hyenas and killed them with his new “Black #1” hammer.

Pak! Pak!

[Your pet has received 4 Growth Points]

Zhou Jing looked at the three hyena corpses with his hands on his hips and nodded in satisfaction.

Look at this, whaaaat? I’m indeed very talented in beast taming.

As long as I help it farm, wouldn’t it be able to quickly increase the strength of my pets? Wonderful!

Of course, the effects of force collision were mutual.

Even though Zhou Jing had held back, Little Black #1 was still severely injured and on the verge of death.

[Your rapport has decreased. Current level: 1/100]

“Eh, your rapport hasn’t reached zero yet? Are you a bootlicker at heart?”

Zhou Jing looked at Little Black #1’s miserable state, but he felt calm, not sorry.

…This was a beast that wanted to dig out his an*s. If not for the fact that he was strong enough, he would have already been scooped out internally. He couldn’t feel guilty. It was already good enough that he did not kill this thing directly.

“Alright, since you’re not dead, I’ll bring you along first. When I’m successful in my studies, I’ll treat you.”

Zhou Jing shrugged and casually did some emergency first aid on Little Black #1. Then, he carried it on his shoulder and continued on his way.

Little Black #1’s dog face was entirely numb at this point.

I beg of you, let me go!

…

After trekking for a long time, Zhou Jing carried the hyena that was vomiting blood under the strange gazes of the passers-by and passed by one town after another before finally arriving at the Imperial Hunter Base.

The third apostle, Bill, was an unfamiliar face. He was naturally stopped by the guards at the entrance.

“Who are you and what are you doing here?”

The guard questioned Zhou Jing as usual and could not help but size up Zhou Jing… especially the hyena he was carrying on his shoulder.

What kind of fashion is this?

Zhou Jing said politely, “I just came to the capital to find a hunter I know. Can you help me find him?”

“Sure. I’ll get someone to inform whoever you want to meet.” The guard nodded.

...

“I’m looking for Jace. Do you have this person here? He should be an Imperial Hunter now, right?”

“I know of that person. Wait a moment,” The guard readily agreed without any doubt.

After all, he was just a messenger. It was normal for the hunter to affirm the identity instead.

Zhou Jing suppressed his nervousness and waited. Not long after, three figures walked out of the base.

In addition to Jason and his inseparable Ross, Cole followed curiously.

Zhou Jing paused… There were actually outsiders here. He had to be more cautious.

This was the first time he came into contact with another one of his apostles. At the moment, he was still unsure of the mechanism and was uncertain about his success.

Soon, the three of them arrived in front of Zhou Jing.

“Jace, he’s the one who wants to talk to you,” the guard said respectfully.

Jason nodded and looked at Zhou Jing without saying anything.

Zhou Jing blinked and probed, “Um… Do you still remember me?”

“I remember.” Jason nodded.

“This is your friend?” Cole was curious.

After spending a few months together, his understanding of Jason’s past was limited. However, today was the first time someone had come looking for him, so he put down his training and ran over to accompany him.

Jason remained silent.

“Yes!” Seeing this, Zhou Jing took over the conversation and said, “I’m from a place further away, and have met with Jace before.”

After that, he paused. When he saw Jason did not respond, he continued tentatively.

“Do you remember? One time, you were injured during a hunt and fainted in the wilderness. I was the one who picked you up and brought you home for treatment. We lived under the same roof for a period of time…”

“Yes, I remember you.”

Jason continued to nod. He spoke very little, but he did not refute anything Zhou Jing said.

Seeing this, Zhou Jing became slightly bolder. He remembered the characteristics of the new apostle and pretended to be unscrupulous. He rubbed his fingers and chuckled.

“You told me that there are many opportunities in the capital, so I came to the capital to make a fortune here. This time, I came to look for you to borrow some funds…”

“How much do you want?” Jason asked calmly.

“Hehe, of course the more the merrier!”

Isn’t this blackmail… Cole looked at Zhou Jing’s greedy face and was instantly displeased. However, as an outsider, he could not say anything.

Cole had thought that it was Jason’s friend, so he had followed him out of curiosity. Now that he realized that it was just a shameless person asking for money, he had no interest in watching further.

“You guys chat first. I’m going back to train.”

Cole greeted Jason. After Jason nodded in response, he returned to the base.

Seeing that the others had left, Zhou Jing put away his deliberately unscrupulous expression and pulled Jason to the side.

Jason did not refuse and let Zhou Jing lead the way.

When he reached a secluded place where no one was paying attention, Zhou Jing heaved a sigh of relief. He began to study the situation of the apostles’ placement.

He discovered that an apostle controlled by oneself could command the other apostles through verbal commands as long as they were in close contact with them. The placed apostle would basically function as a follower in front of his own projection.

When he came into contact with an apostle, he could also read the other party’s experience log, similar to when he touched his follower.

However, the difference was that Jason was still displaying the procedures set during placement to the outside world. He was not as stiff and rigid as his follower.

There was also a connection between the Astral Apostles, which was reflected in his minimap. The Astral Apostles in the same world could see their respective positions on the map and send out a summoning signal, allowing the other apostles to automatically move towards them. However, they could not give detailed instructions from afar… This meant that he could only call people over and could not command the others remotely.

During the projection period, he also could not directly switch the apostles he controlled and could only return to the preparatory space and choose the body that their consciousness would project himself.

“It’s like a special follower with higher intelligence to being able execute complicated plans. He’s usually independent, but when he’s in close contact, he’s completely obedient…”

Zhou Jing was overjoyed.

Although he could not command the apostles from afar and could only give verbal instructions like ordinary people, it was already very useful.

After all, they were essentially him. The priority of listening to his orders would override the placement plan.

This would make things a lot easier…

Zhou Jing relaxed. A lot of thoughts flashed through his mind before he smiled.

“Let’s go. Give me 300 silver coins and help me enter the capital!”
