Chapter 372 The Future King
Not long after Ji Xinghuo arrived, a tall figure hurried to the villa. He was relieved when he saw everyone.
"Sorry, sorry."
Wu Qifeng apologized repeatedly, "Something delayed me, but luckily I made it."
"It's okay, we just arrived too." Ji Xinghuo looked at Wu Qifeng in heavy armor and waved his hand indifferently.
When forming a team this time, he did not forget his old classmate.
Wu Qifeng was originally in another hunting team. When he heard about Ji Xinghuo's intention, he decisively withdrew from that team and joined.
He is a high-level alien, with a career template of "graviton". He has been in the star world for three or four years and is considered experienced.
"Everyone is here." Ji Xinghuo stood up and looked around.
He put away his smile and said, "We will fight side by side for some time in the future. Although you all know each other because of me, you should still introduce yourself so that we can get to know each other better."
"I'll go first." Chi Zhonglin said carelessly, "Chi Zhonglin, 485th in the ladder, a non-job alien."
Everyone couldn't help but be dazzled.
Except for Ji Xinghuo, Chi Zhonglin is the strongest and has the highest ladder ranking, and he is Ji Xinghuo's former teammate.
Zhuo Ligetu then said in a muffled voice: "I am Zhuo Ligetu, a combat priest, who can carry, fight and heal, and is 1644th in the ladder."
Jiangnan Caiyi also introduced herself.
The three of them are super aliens with rich experience, and they will be the main force of this team in the future.
The others also took turns to speak. Zhong Ming and Wu Qifeng are high-level aliens, much stronger than their peers; Lu Yunhai and Zhao Zangming are intermediate aliens with the weakest strength, so they lack confidence when introducing themselves.
"To be honest, the main purpose of forming this team is to accumulate experience for my second brother and Zangming."
Ji Xinghuo told the truth, "This time when we go out hunting, I will not take action unless it is absolutely necessary. You can pretend that I don't exist. In the future, I will not follow the team for a long time. It all depends on you."
His eyes fell on the three super aliens, "Please worry about it and take care of the newcomers."
"Small problem!" Chi Zhonglin patted his chest and promised, "Leave it to me."
Zhuo Ligetu and Jiangnan Caiyi also nodded.
Wu Qifeng looked envious.
When he first entered the star realm, he often ran into obstacles and made a name for himself after a lot of hard work. However, Zhong Ming and Zhao Zangming had masters on the ladder to guide the newcomers when they first went there, and Ji Xinghuo followed the team. It was really annoying to compare with others.
Luckily, he also got into this team. As long as he holds on to Ji Xinghuo's thigh, he will take off in the future!
Ji Xinghuo continued, "Our destination this time is the 'Yanlin Lake District'. You should have heard of it, and some people are very familiar with it."
"I've been there four times." Zhuo Ligetu smiled.
Chi Zhonglin and Wu Qifeng said that they had been there, and more than once.
"That's even better." Ji Xinghuo nodded, but still gave everyone a detailed introduction.
The Yanlin Lake District is located in the northeast of Olympia, about 1,700 kilometers away. It is an area composed of hundreds of large and small lakes, with an area of more than 100,000 square kilometers. There is no Star Gate restricted area around it.
This area is a typical lava landform. There are countless rock peaks between the lakes, like a forest, and there are many suspended mountains in the sky.
Therefore, the terrain is extremely complex and the climate is changeable.
The Yanlin Lake District has bred many monsters of various types, including natural disaster-level monsters. It is a relatively dangerous place in the Qianfengyuan Forest.
It is difficult for ordinary hunting teams to survive in the Yanlin Lake area. Generally, all members must be high-level aliens or above, and there must be an elite team composed of super aliens to enter the Yanlin Lake area, but casualties are often heavy.
Here, you will also encounter winged people and other alien races.
For newcomers, the level of the Yanlin Lake area is too high, but with Ji Xinghuo here, everyone is relieved.
"Do you have any other questions?" Ji Xinghuo asked after he finished speaking.
Everyone shook their heads.
The materials and equipment that should be prepared have been prepared. Except for the two newcomers, everyone else has experience and does not need to be specifically reminded.
"Then let's go."
Ji Xinghuo announced the departure.
Although the starry night is not suitable for traveling, everyone has just come to the star world from the earth, and their physical strength and energy are very abundant. There is no need to wait until dawn to waste more than 20 hours.
The group left the villa fully armed and took an airship to the northeastern border city of the human territory.
Then they left the city and traveled under the starry night.
Except for Zhuoligetu and Lu Yunhai, everyone else walked.
Zhuo Ligetu rode his ferocious war bear, and Lu Yunhai, as a hunter, recently bought a royal command ornament, which controlled a giant saber leopard to increase combat power, protect himself, and serve as a mount.
Even Ji Xinghuo walked.
He changed into the ceramic steel armor that he hadn't worn for a long time, carrying the invisible thorn and quiver, and Lei Chi hanging on his waist, which was a standard ranger outfit.
After Qinghong shrank, he lay in his pocket and slept soundly.
This guy stayed at home for half a year, not only gained a lot of weight, but also became lazy.
But this is not the reason why Ji Xinghuo didn't ride Qinghong. Qinghong's appearance is definitely not an ordinary mount, it's too eye-catching.
"Brother-in-law."
Zhao Zangming approached and couldn't help asking: "Why don't we buy a few mounts to save some energy."
"No need." Ji Xinghuo shook his head.
Chi Zhonglin in front turned around and said, "General mounts are not much faster than us walking. We have plenty of physical strength, so we don't need to save it too much. When we encounter a battle, the mount becomes a burden. Often, after a few battles, the mounts die."
Zhao Zangming still didn't understand, "Can I buy that kind of combat mount?"
He looked at Zhuo Ligetu and Lu Yunhai. Both of their mounts had strong combat power and were also combat pets.
"Controlling combat pets is distracting. Either they have followed their masters for many years and formed a tacit understanding, or they have a corresponding professional template."
Ji Xinghuo patiently explained, "If you like combat pets, you can try to buy one next time you go back."
When I first entered the Star Realm and went out hunting with Sister Ren, I also walked.
As for flying mounts, it is also difficult to popularize.
Although flying mounts are very fast and can save a lot of time and energy, they are too conspicuous in the sky and easily attract danger.
Ji Xinghuo himself has a deep understanding.
That time I rode the silver-winged Pegasus to Yunxiao City. If I hadn't had the magnetic field induction and the all-seeing star pupils to avoid dangers in advance, it would have been impossible for others to fly back safely.
Of course, for me now, I am fast enough and strong enough to fly as much as I want. As long as I don't run into the star-herding saint, there is no danger.
Super aliens and below should walk on the ground honestly.
When leaving the human territory, the starry night turned into night.
"Let's camp first." Ji Xinghuo ordered.
Everyone unpacked their bags, set up tents, and arranged the order of night watch. There is strength in numbers. This team has eight people. It took only a few minutes to set up the camp. Jiangnan Caiyi prepared food for everyone.
According to what was agreed in advance, Ji Xinghuo was just following the team, not participating in the battle or keeping watch. He ate something and sat in the tent with his eyes closed.
This is cultivation.
After being promoted to legend, aliens can control the circulation of star power in the body through the star gland, recover after idling consumption, and increase star power.
Although the efficiency of the Star Gland Cultivation Method is not as good as combined training, and it is more boring, it is convenient and can be practiced anytime and anywhere without making any noise.
Ji Xinghuo has three ether resonances, plus the characteristics of the magnetic spirit star core, and has been using refined ether solvents. Even if it is the Star Gland Cultivation Method, the efficiency is several times higher than that of other legendary aliens. After practicing for three or four hours, the star power has increased by nearly 10 points!
When it was almost dawn, he suddenly had an idea.
Electromagnetic induction found the monster. This was a group of nocturnal bats, there were more than a dozen of them, and their hearing and sense of smell were very sharp.
After a while.
This group of nocturnal bats found the camp and then approached silently.
At this moment, Jiangnan Caiyi and Zhong Ming were on guard. Both of them were not good at reconnaissance and had average perception, so they did not notice the monster.
Ji Xinghuo did not remind them.
Until the nocturnal bats flew to only more than 200 meters away from the tent, Lu Yunhai's ancient hounds finally smelled the scent and immediately roared and woke up the whole team.
"There are monsters!"
"Everyone get up and fight!"
The three tents in the camp were shaking. Everyone picked up their weapons and rushed out. They saw that Zhong Ming's body was already on fire, illuminating the surroundings of the camp. They could vaguely see dark shadows coming from the forest.
Jiangnan Caiyi held a long sword in her hand, and her figure flashed, cutting a nocturnal bat that flew close to her into two halves.
"Nocturnal bats!"
Chi Zhonglin shouted calmly: "They are afraid of fire and light, Zhong Ming, leave it to you."
Seeing that it was just a group of ordinary monsters and there was not much threat, he and Zhuo Ligetu were not in a hurry to take action, leaving it to others to deal with.
With a bang.
Zhong Ming went straight into the burning, the flames burst out, and the whole person flew in the air like a ball of flaming meteors, punching several nocturnal bats;
Lu Yunhai let his two war pets resist the monsters in other directions, and he raised his compound bow to shoot.
Wu Qifeng and Zhao Zangming were responsible for the other side.
The battle was fierce.
At least it seemed so to the four people who took action. It lasted for a few minutes, and more than a dozen nocturnal bats were killed.
"Huh..." The flames on Zhong Ming's body were restrained, and he didn't consume much star power, and he was unharmed.
He couldn't help but laugh: "It doesn't seem difficult."
"It's just a nocturnal bat. You often encounter it. As long as you can find it in advance, it's not a threat." Chi Zhonglin smiled and said: "Congratulations, you have completed the first battle in the star world, which is much stronger than the average alien."
"Thank you." Zhong Ming's mentality is very stable. After all, he has played in the professional league for several years and has a strong psychological quality.
Zhao Zangming was more excited.
Jiangnan Caiyi began to teach them how to collect alien species, and the others returned to the tent to continue resting. From beginning to end, Ji Xinghuo did not leave the tent, and his practice was not interrupted.
After dawn, the team packed up and continued on the road.
On the first day, they walked more than 200 kilometers and encountered several battles, which were all solved by Zhong Ming and Zhao Zangming.
Except for Ji Xinghuo, everyone else was shocked by Zhong Ming's strength.
Although he is only a high-level alien, the strength he showed is stronger than most super aliens!
Zhong Ming's Flame Madness occupation template is complete, and he has begun to practice the Flying Step template, integrating "flying", blood burning, life resuscitation, micro touch and limb regeneration, and his star power is also very strong.
Strength, speed, burst, recovery!
Zhong Ming's performance is very comprehensive.
Not only are there a large number of alien species and they are highly gifted in combat, but after several battles, he has become more calm and improved rapidly when facing monsters.
Originally, everyone looked down on Zhong Ming, thinking that he was just relying on Ji Xinghuo's influence. Although he was a competitive alien, he was only in the second-level league. Although they didn't say it, they didn't value him in their hearts.
In just one day, everyone changed their minds.
When they were camping the next night, Chi Zhonglin asked curiously: "Xinghuo, are you and Zhong Ming really just a common family, not brothers?"
"Why do you ask that?" Ji Xinghuo was puzzled.
Chi Zhonglin sighed: "If they were not brothers, I would find it hard to believe that there would be two monster-level geniuses in a common family. The probability is too small."
"I am far behind Xinghuo." Zhong Ming was very modest, "Without the few super-limit alien species that Xinghuo gave me, I would be an ordinary Yan Kuang."
"Hehe..."
Chi Zhonglin disagreed.
Ji Xinghuo laughed: "Even if they are brothers, there are differences in talent. My second brother and I have no blood relationship, but he is better than a brother. We grew up together. His talent is not worse than mine. He will at least be a king in the future."
If someone else said this, no one would believe it and just treat it as bragging.
But this is Ji Xinghuo, and no one has any doubts.
"King!"
Zhuo Ligetu was envious.
He didn't even know what to do when he was promoted to Legend, and the King of Heaven was even more out of reach. He looked at Zhong Ming with some heat in his eyes.
The future King of Heaven must have a good relationship.
Even if Zhong Ming's talent potential is average, he must work hard to make friends with him just based on his relationship with Ji Xinghuo.
Not only Zhuo Ligetu, Lu Yunhai, Wu Qifeng and others also have similar ideas.
"Two kings from one family, there has never been a precedent on earth." Chi Zhonglin smiled, "If this comes true, it will be amazing."
Everyone's eyes on Zhong Ming have changed.
However, Zhong Ming himself remained calm, "No one can predict the future. Don't listen to Xinghuo's nonsense and praise me too much. I will ask for your advice for future adventures."
The more humble he was, the more optimistic everyone was.
Overnight, Zhong Ming's status in the team was raised to second only to Ji Xinghuo. On the road afterwards, he also showed his due performance, which made everyone admire him and gradually became one of the backbones of the team.
When arriving at Yanlin Lake District, Zhong Ming had been recognized by the whole team. Under Ji Xinghuo's deliberate promotion, he began to lead the team's actions.
Yanlin Lake District is indeed very dangerous.
After entering this area, the monsters have obviously become more numerous and stronger. The hunting team has fallen into danger many times and encountered winged people.
Ji Xinghuo never took action and let them solve it themselves.
After half a star moon, Zhong Ming led the hunting team to gain a foothold in Yanlin Lake District and reaped a lot of rewards.
Seeing this, Ji Xinghuo knew that he should leave.
