[Hunter LV1 (2)]

[Learnable skills: lurking/tracking/low-level taming/aiming/danger perception/forest blessing]

Blaze first chose to learn [Danger Sense]. The moment he clicked on it, he felt a transformation from the inside out. It was not an increase in physical ability, but some kind of change in his soul.

The surrounding sounds became clearer, with insects chirping, birds chirping, and wild beasts running around. It's like he has short-sightedness in his ears, but now he wears glasses that just fit.

This skill, just like its name, detects danger in advance to a certain extent.

He still remembered that people in foreign lands were happily discussing how to skip class and defeat the Black Beast Knight without getting hurt. The cruelty of their methods, the despicable behavior, and the tragic ending made people want to shout "He is not worthy of this" for the Black Beast Knight.

Blazer used to feel frightened when he listened to it as an outsider, let alone now that he has become a party involved.

Another reason is the essence of the hunter profession summarized by Strangers, [Forest Blessing].

[When you are in the forest, you can receive blessings from the forest, and you must also perform your due responsibilities]

[Agility is slightly improved (5%), and a special state is obtained to get closer to nature]

This skill was not favored by people at first, and even the hunter profession was disliked because of this skill. Because the special state of [Close to Nature] requires the hunter to become part of the natural cycle, destroy monsters according to his own hunger value, and eat food drops.

Can you imagine that even monsters like goblins, which actively attack urban villages in groups, are counted as members of the ecosystem? They actually drop some kind of edible meat. I have to admire the first stranger who eats goblins.

For the blessed ones who need to gain experience points, if they have to leave more than half of the monsters behind every battle and have to eat the fallen meat, then they might as well not give up this profession.

But things were different after the appearance of the Ganges. The animals and plants corroded by the blood of the evil god were an invading foreign hazard to the forest. People with this state would be guided to kill the Titan hybrids. Each time they defeated one, they could still Get extra drops and special experience points.

After accumulating special experience points to a certain level, [Close to Nature] will become [Nature's Guide], and you can hear the call of the ancient forest races and get the opportunity to accept the trials given by the ancient races.

In the words of a foreigner, [Forest Blessing] is not so much a skill as it is a special plot exclusive to hunters.

Of course, the most important reason is that Blaze wants to meet the ancient races.

This continent has some catchy sayings, one of which is "Want to know something embarrassing about the first king of mankind? Just ask the ones with long ears."

If you want to understand the lost kingdoms in history, the best people to ask are races with long lifespans.

"The Golden Kingdom, the Soul Resurrection Knight and the armor." Blazer clicked on the text on the blessing. To him, the Golden Kingdom was just a legendary folk song and story, let alone the Soul Resurrection Knight. Careers I’ve heard of.

Completing the guidance bestowed upon him and removing the curse of the armor was too passive. It would be better for him to take the initiative to find information about the Golden Kingdom.

Blaze mustered up the courage to click on [Forest Blessing], but it was completely different from [Crisis Sense], with no changes at all.

If I have to say it, is your body a little more flexible?

【Save...save...me...who...】

A vague voice suddenly sounded in Blaze's ears, as if coming from all directions but clearly pointing out a route.

"This way?"

Blaze immediately rushed towards the direction of the cry for help. The sound did not come from the depths of the forest, but from the opposite edge of the forest.

The description of the outer edge of the forest may be a bit far-fetched, because it was once the center of the forest, until the Ganges River split the forest in two like a giant sword.

As Blaze's pace quickened, he was the first to hear what was happening ahead. It was a stranger.

[I told you not to come to the Ganges a long time ago. The gloomy place here is not interesting at all]

[But we have spawned rare monsters, they only have a 5% chance of spawning]

[What's the use of not being able to beat me, I'm out of mana, and you can't do any damage]

Outside the territory of the hybrid monkey, a three-person team consisting of a nun, a monk, and a spear knight was surrounded by a dozen brown lions on the empty plain. These lions are all hunting lionesses. Their bodies are slender and powerful, and their ferocious fangs shine with a terrifying purple luster as they roar.

The Discipline Monk and the Lancer Knight did a good job of holding back the hatred of the lionesses, but they did not notice that the cunning hunter was lurking in the grass, waiting quietly to endure the torture of the evil god's blood.

At the moment when the unsuspecting nun stepped her beautiful short boots into the mud and her white socks were stained with dirt, the hunter pounced out, biting the white neck decorated with the holy cross with fangs that were deadly venomous.

"Get out of the way!"

Blaze stepped on the ground with his right foot and used the inertia brought by his wild running to throw the twisted giant sword in his hand. [Fatal Execution] can only be triggered in close combat, but the great sword itself is powerful enough to penetrate hunters.

The giant sword hit the hunter impartially, but sparks erupted the moment it touched the opponent's fur, and the giant sword, which was far larger than the hunter, was bounced away.

The hunter was unscathed, but it bought time for the strangers to react. The nun who was hit by the jumping sparks screamed and crouched down just to avoid the hunter's attack.

"Damn it! Why is there another one!" The Discipline Monk turned around subconsciously when he heard the scream. He was shocked when he saw the smelly mouth heading straight for him, and knocked the hunter away with his fist.

The three of them saw the hunter clearly. It was a female lion monster that looked exactly the same as the surrounding female lion monsters. From the beginning, one of the monsters in this group of monsters did not launch an attack and was dormant quietly. Naturally, there was no reason to be aggrieved, so he could accurately attack their weak points.

Just like a really cruel and vicious hunter.

"This damn AI can really make people panic sometimes." The Lancer's expression turned ugly after he thought about it, and the nun who survived the disaster was even more pale.

These lifelike, bloodthirsty beasts even let out sneering low gasps, which made them have the urge to force themselves offline immediately.

At this time, a request to join the queue appears.

"Ah!" the nun shouted. The monsters' realism and ferociousness made her forget that someone had just prevented her from becoming the beast's food. She turned around and saw the oppressive black figure in the dust

"Boss, there is a big boss applying to join the team! Agree quickly!"

As the captain, the Spear Knight subconsciously agreed to the application to join the team.

[Black Beast Knight Blaze has joined the team]

Chapter 7 Fierce Lionesses

"Ahhh-"

"Ah ah ah——"

"Hmm? Yooooooo-"

The three of them welcomed Blaze's arrival with extremely enthusiastic screams. The disciplinary monk had already begun to roll on the spot. However, the nun among them saw the two people next to him screaming and looked around in confusion before raising his hand. Start screaming with joy.

The nun was obviously a newbie who had not been brutally attacked by the previous Black Beast Knight, Blaze, and even the Black Beast Knight did not recognize her.

Blaze clenched his fists with some emotion. He really wanted to be welcomed by the strangers, but in the past, the strangers would ignore him. Now, the first reaction of the strangers when they see him is to scream.

Reversing the popularity of the Black Beast Knight starts with protecting strangers.

It's a pity that he can't speak now and can only express it through actions. The first step is to kill the group of lions in front of you, and upgrade and gain favor at the same time.

[Nemean Lioness LV20]

[The sad lioness who lost her normal fertility due to being corroded by the evil god’s blood will hunt and give birth to more deformed monsters repeatedly throughout her life]

[Skills: Lurking E/Bloody Fang F/Evil God’s Curse (Strength) F/Muscle Strengthening F/Three-Dimensional Maneuvering E/Super Thinking F]

[Hunter] Hidden skill, when facing an enemy with the [Beast] affix, identify the opponent's skill panel.

Blaze summoned the Twisted Great Sword, and used the huge blade to block the cruel sight of the Nemean lionesses.

There are ten Nemean lionesses in total. They do not have a commander to act individually, but they will cooperate with each other. [Danger Sense] indicates that the one in the middle is about to move, and [Forest Blessing] makes his steps light.

Blaze rushed towards the Nemean lionesses, and slashed with his twisted giant sword, bringing all the lionesses into the attack range. The fur and blade once again aroused countless dazzling sparks.

"The Nemean lioness has a skill called the Curse of the Evil God, which can invalidate slashing or piercing damage, so your sword cannot cause damage."

The Lancer subconsciously reminded Blaze loudly.

Blaze turned back and nodded towards the Lance Knight, released his twisted sword, and punched the Nemean lioness biting his neck with one fist. The fist wrapped in heavy armor could be called a heavy-duty shot. Cannonball, the Nemean lioness screamed and fell back.

"What's going on now?" The Discipline Monk rubbed his hands uneasily. He felt strange that the monster he once feared to death became his teammate.

"Hey!"

The nun raised her hand and struck each of the Lancer and the Discipline Monk on the forehead, but no harm was caused.

The nun raised her hand and gestured twice. Seeing the disciplinarian's face full of confusion, the spear knight winked at her before he suddenly reacted and spoke like a machine gun.

"Isn't there no way to hurt each other in a team in "Godlock"? This should be the kind of knight NPC that wanders randomly on the map and falls from the sky when the player is in danger!"

"Isn't your sister a famous virtual singer? Why don't you even know about a notorious guy like Black Knight?" Discipline Monk and Lancer Knight complained in low voices.

"What a singer? She's just a social terror who only uploads singing videos." Lance Knight raised his voice without hesitation, "The only pleasure every day is to see the positive comments from fans on my X."

"I wanted to let her at least have a normal conversation with the NPC before taking her to play."

"Uh!" The nun made an incomprehensible cry and stamped her foot on the ground in embarrassment.

Seeing that the nun was about to pounce, the spear knight immediately picked up his weapon and rushed towards the Nemean lionesses.

"Oops! Blaze is in danger, I'm going to help!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The first team battle between Blaze and the Stranger has officially begun.

The nun, with her hands clasped together, wrapped the church's blessed cross and whispered the words of the Mother of God's love. Lovely, illusory angels arrived, halos in hand. The monk of discipline conveyed God's judgment, but unlike the nun's Madonna-like kindness, he glared and loudly rebuked the monsters for their sin of desecrating the forest. Lightning and a hurricane swept in simultaneously.

The Priest class changes to the Nun class, a class change available only to female Outsiders. The special skill, "Ave Maria," is a song. Singing the entire song, or certain sections, grants a special enhanced state. This state lasts for 15 seconds, but can be extended indefinitely as long as the song is continued, without consuming any additional MP.

The priest changes his profession to the monk of discipline, with the special skill [The Bible - Gospel of Mark]. This skill is an article, and each paragraph of the article has a different attack effect after being read out.

[Acquire the enhanced status of "Ave Maria"]

[Strength +25% Agility +20% Faith -15%]

Blaze felt his head sink. The little boy without clothes, Angel, put a halo on his head. What followed was a significant increase in physical ability. He could bite the armor with just a wave of his hands. The Nemean lioness was thrown out.

The Lancer and the Discipline Monk immediately stepped forward to block the other Nemean lionesses who were trying to get around.

The spear used by the Lancer has no sharp points at all. The weapon is like a long-handled mace, which can be wielded with great force. The Disciplined Monk waved his fists covered in bandages with mysterious letters, and every time he waved his fists, wind and thunder were attached.

As for Blaze, after enjoying the auxiliary effect of the nuns, he was able to hold back more than half of the Nemean lionesses, preventing any of them from having the opportunity to go around and attack the nuns who continued to sing behind them.

Fighter skill, [Butterfly Dance]. It's a footwork that's almost ornamental. Without extremely powerful basic skills, this footwork is just a waste of energy. But after it becomes a professional skill, this footwork becomes a terrifying offensive weapon.

With his feet on the ground, the burly heavy-armored knight was like a light black butterfly fluttering among the poisonous fangs and claws. Then the black light flashed away, and the dark fist pierced the Nemean lioness's body like a poisonous thorn. chest.

Fighter skill, [Bee Sting Punch].

"Damn, that action just now was so cool! His steps were like flying butterflies, and his fists were like thorns." The discipline monk was stunned. He also has a fighter profession, so he knows how difficult the skill [Butterfly Dance Step] is to use.

[Butterfly Dance Step] is a continuous skill with no CD, but to use it well, you must seize the rhythm of the attack and use the skill. Each time there is an interruption, the player must grasp the timing of each use.

For players, this is equivalent to paying full attention to when to press and release a button, and it is easy to make mistakes. But for NPCs, professional skills are like instincts integrated into the body. You can use the skills you just acquired as if you have refined them thousands of times.

By the way, top players who specialize in fighting skills never waste skill points on learning [Butterfly Dance], they can do this move themselves.

"Speaking of which, it turns out Black Beast Knight Blaze also has a fighter profession."

"But he has never used it before. People from the [White Beast Knights] also speculate that his profession is an executioner, an assassin or something like that."

[You defeated the Nemean Lioness and your closeness to nature has improved]

All ten Nemean lionesses were defeated, and their bodies gradually turned to dust and disappeared. Blaze noticed the surprised expressions on the three strangers' faces. Apparently, there were many rare things among the drops of the Nemean lioness.

But he got nothing and even became anxious.

The blessing did not show that he received any honor points, indicating that the three strangers were not out of danger yet.

The faint cry for help in his ears did not disappear, but became clearer, mixed with the sticky sound of the waves.

It's not over yet.

The Lancer Knight and the Discipline Monk were pushing each other. It was obvious that they had not yet emerged from the shadow of the Black Beast Knight, but the Sister walked towards Blaze without hesitation.

"Well, can you?"

Blaze picked up the nun and pulled back suddenly. The place where the Nemean lioness died was split open, and scarlet blood came along with the howling wind. The huge and burly body seemed to have emerged from the sea of ​​​​blood from the mountain of corpses. Come.

[You have encountered a hidden enemy]

[Lion King of Nemea LV30]

Chapter 8 The Betrayal Lion King

[In the past, one of the beast kings who dominated the forest and grassland was also a traitor to the forest. He tore up the contract and threw himself into the Ganges River, letting the evil god's blood corrode his whole body in an attempt to transform into a new evil god.

The ancient races of the forest vowed to make the betrayers pay the price, but they are powerless. They must do their best to fight against the poison of the Hundred Ganges to the forest.

Therefore, strangers who are not afraid of death, defeat the betrayer who has not yet succeeded, and take back the stars that belong to the forest. 】
