Astral Apostle

Chapter 154 - Friend of Animals (3)

Chapter 154: Friend of Animals (3)

Zhou Jing had certain requirements before he would allow the second Mutant Blood Warrior to clear the level. It wouldn’t be very valuable if his second Mutant Blood Warrior could not create a large enough gap between itself and Jason. Therefore, he needed a real fierce man… Of course, if there was a safer supernatural system, that would be even better.

After Closing the interface, Zhou Jing opened the interface for the support function.

He had five support functions that could be activated. Among them, Ross was the only follower function Jason had Loaded. There could only be one Ross in the world, and other Apostles couldn’t use him.

“There are two slots this time…”

He thought for a moment and quickly configured two functions.

[500 Astral Points have been consumed.]

[ [Pet Function] has been filled into the support function column.]

[700 Astral Points have been consumed.]

[ [Item Analysis Function] has been filled into the support function column.]

“This should work.”

Zhou Jing was satisfied.

The pet function was something he had been thinking of long ago. This was not like the immediate creation of a follower. Instead, it required one to actually tame a beast and successfully activate the pet interface on the other party.

Naturally, there was also only one slot available for this, which meant that no matter how many wild beasts were tamed, only one of them could receive the enhancement of the [Pet Function].

There were also inherited attributes for the pets, and there were two situations where this would happen.

If an apostle’s pet did not die, then after the next apostle equipped the pet function, they could locate the previous pet and immediately tame it.

If the pet died, there would also be a record. Just like the follower function, every apostle would have a chance to re-summon (resurrect) the pet.

However, the difference was that pets could be changed, unlike Ross, who refused to leave.

After changing pets, it would have to be nurtured again from scratch. This was a natural occurrence.

Zhou Jing chose the [Item Analysis Function] for the second support function. It was comparable to a divine skill in manufacturing, so he definitely had to pick it.

Zhou Jing browsed through the new Apostle interface from the beginning to the end. After confirming that the points had been added, he adjusted his appearance and name.

The new apostle’s name was changed to only Bill—because of Jason’s actions, the “Wood tribe” was now very popular in the Mutant Beast World. This time, he might as well not add his surname, lest others misunderstand that he was a blood relative of the tribe.

The new apostle’s appearance was slightly adjusted. He was a friendly and slightly plump young man.

After doing all this, Zhou Jing started the projection.

[Map Overview Mode activated]

[Please select the delivery mode, [Random Area Delivery / Specified Area Delivery]?]

“Specified Area, start in the capital. I can take care of Jason there, and it’s a good opportunity to see what’s going on when we contact and place the apostles.”

Zhou Jing did not hesitate.

[Designated location: Tarn City]

[Delivery to this location will consume 100 Astral Points… Points deducted.]

[Beginning Projection]

Whoosh!

A cracking sound rang out as the rift opened again, sucking Zhou Jing in.

...

In the day at the Mutant World.

In the distant suburbs of Tarn City, in an uninhabited field.

The weather was clear, with a light breeze and waves of grass.

In the grass, hungry beasts were wandering around for food— hyenas.

Suddenly, a faint light appeared in the grass, emitting a suction force. The surrounding grass seemed to be torn apart as it was pulled towards the light spot.

Silently, the leaves shattered and turned into dust, quickly condensing into the body of the Astral Apostle.

Zhou Jing suddenly opened his eyes and sat up on the grass. At a glance, he saw that the surrounding area had turned into a mess.

“Not bad this time. I’m made of grass… At most, it’s just stained with mud.”

He pondered for a while and suddenly realized that his range of acceptance about what he was composed of was getting lower and lower.

“This should be near the capital. Let’s find a water source to take a look.”

Zhou Jing had traveled many times and was already familiar with the situation. He quickly controlled his body.

However, just as he got up, he suddenly heard the sound of grass rustling behind him, as if some creature was quickly approaching.

Zhou Jing turned around.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a hyena-like beast pounced out from the grass behind him.

It happened to be wandering around and smelled an abnormal smell. It thought that it had discovered prey.

The beast soared into the air and attacked, biting his neck.

The bloody mouth approached quickly, and the yellowed teeth quickly enlarged in his vision.

Peng!

The hyena beast’s head was shattered by a punch!

Its entire body hung on Zhou Jing’s seemingly thin arm, swaying under the inertia.

With a fling of his arm, Zhou Jing threw the hyena aside and rolled his eyes.

Good lord, the first two times he created an apostle, at least the system provided him with a safe enough area. This time, he actually landed headfirst in danger.

If not for the fact that the strength of the new apostle was not inferior to that of Mutant Blood Warriors, he might have donated all his points back to the system!

Zhou Jing looked at the hyena’s twitching corpse and could not help but feel a little resigned.

“I killed a cute little animal as soon as I came in… What’s going on? I was planning to be friendly with animals this time round!”
