Tuoba Yun thought about it and immediately found a suitable one. “There are three very important abilities at the beginning of this career. The first and most critical ability is [Animal Companion], which is a weakened version of the Druid's animal companion. As long as you sign a contract with an animal and make it connected to you by blood, it will have a tacit understanding and familiarity as if you have telepathy, and will execute all your commands perfectly. There is no limit to the number of animals a hunter can contract. If you wish, you can contract a horse, an eagle, or three hounds to join the battlefield together. However, only one contract will be effective at the same time, and only one animal can communicate with the hunter in a telepathic way and perfectly execute all the hunter's commands. Don't make contracts casually. If your contracted partner dies, you will also suffer an equal amount of spiritual damage, and you might even die together. Plus, animals are generally weak and have short lifespans. So, although there is no upper limit to the number of contracted animals, hunters are very cautious when signing. Herdsmen and cavalrymen usually choose horses as their animal companions, but we centaurs are already one, so there is no need to get another horse. So like hunters in the forest, we usually choose eagles or dogs to assist in hunting. You have also seen this profession - the centaur scout who plays with an owl is one of them." Liu Zhuang nodded. That animal trainer, his owl was indeed amazing. It assisted him in reconnaissance and hunted many Han people. The hunter's [Animal Partner] was also quite interesting. Catching pets and signing contracts, who could refuse Pokémon? "The second ability is [Hunting Mark], which is considered a lowest-level zero-ring trick. This kind of small magic is not even called a "spell" by those noble families. It is only called a trick, a trick, or a magic trick, and it does not consume magic power. You can use this trick to mark a target. When anyone attacks him, their hit rate and damage will be slightly increased. Unless you cancel it, this mark can last for twelve hours. However, only one hunting mark can exist at the same time." Tuoba Yun stretched out his finger and tapped the sheepfold nearby. A one-eyed mark constructed with arcane magic suddenly appeared on the top of a goat's head. It was extremely conspicuous like a light bulb, emitting a creepy scarlet halo. The goat raised its head curiously, glanced at the halo above its head with its square pupils, then continued to eat grass with its head calmly, as if nothing had happened.
It was already evening, but the light from this eye made the goat particularly conspicuous and dazzling - it made the target's head so bright, no wonder it increased the hit rate and damage. "As you can see, in theory, this hunting mark can also be used as an illumination technique. It is extremely effective for tracking and hunting prey at night. With a halo on your head at night, you won't be able to escape at all." Liu Zhuang nodded, staring at the glowing eyes on top of the goat's head with his double pupils. Golden threads that were invisible to others were weaving a magical trajectory on the trick. [Hunting Mark]: Mark a target within 200 meters for one day. All players attacking the target will receive +1 hit and +1 damage. Multiple hunting marks do not stack, and each hunter can only maintain one hunting mark. "If the first two abilities are of magical nature, then the third ability is of physical nature [Rapid Shooting]." Tuoba Yun demonstrated his rapid shooting skills. He held the bow in his left hand and took out six arrows from the quiver with his right hand. While pulling the string, he had already stuck the first arrow on the bowstring. After pulling the bowstring to its full length, he quickly let go and shot it out. Before Liu Zhuang could react, Tuoba Yun pulled the bowstring again, pulled the longbow in her hand to the full moon, and quickly let go, shooting the second feather arrow, followed by the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth. She shot all the arrows in her hand at a rate of almost one arrow per second. Although her speed was not as fast as Lu Bu's, it was also very terrifying. The only difference was that her accuracy was a bit poor. She hit the target, but none of them hit the bull's eye. "This shooting method is called [Rapid Shooting]. It sacrifices accuracy in exchange for an excellent firing rate. In a war, the enemy is a huge mass. Forget about the target. The target is bigger than a wheat field. In many situations, you don't need to aim. The faster you shoot, the better." "Okay, this is it!" Liu Zhuang chose the hunter profession at first sight as a transition to the early stage of the blasphemous priest, and took the time to practice. Soon, the sun set completely, and the farmers who had been training all day went back to their houses to rest, hammering their tired bodies. After finishing their training, Liu Zhuang was studying the hunter's animal contract. In the beginning, this contract could only be used to contract animals. However, during thousands of years of improvement and development, ferocious animals, celestial animals, infernal animals and other variants can also be signed. If the basic language of the contract is slightly changed, cats, dragons, elemental creatures, and even weak young dragons can also be signed. There are many branches and variants of the partnership contract. Moreover, this is not a compulsory contract between master and servant, but a partnership agreement. It is not mandatory for animals at all. It is more like a telepathic alliance relationship, where they prosper together and suffer together. After reading the contract, Liu Zhuang took a look at Tuoba Yun's attributes. 【Tuoba Yun】(Dragon) Level 6 (Level 4 Yokai + Level 2 Hunter) Health 72, Mana 0 Hit: 10, Defense: 12 (Dodge +2, Armor +10) Strength 18, Agility 18, Constitution 24
Intelligence 12, Wisdom 12, Charisma 12 【Dragon Blood Talent·???】:??? Well, there are only slight changes in her attributes compared to Dugu Yan. Her physique is extremely high. Although her agility is as high as 18, which is 10 points higher than the ordinary person's 8, and her agility bonus is 4, which can theoretically provide 4 points of dodge, but because this iron armor is too heavy, she sacrificed some agility in exchange for a huge armor bonus, so that the maximum dodge can only be +2. Wait, why isn't her race a centaur or a centaur, but a dragon like Lu Bu and me??? Chapter 300: Demonic Dragon Painted Skin ( monthly tickets plus more!) Liu Zhuang stared at Tuoba Yun in surprise and found that on her cold and beautiful face, there was a pair of beautiful blue eyes, as vast and deep as the stars and the sea; in the vast blue waves, the shape of her pupils was actually a sharp and slender venomous snake. "The Tuoba tribe is a mixture of the Xianbei and the Southern Xiongnu, and they belong to the mixed Hu. The Southern Xiongnu have been mixed with the Han people for more than two or three hundred years. I have a quarter of Han blood in my body. Is it strange to awaken the dragon blood?" Noticing that Liu Zhuang was staring at his azure vertical pupils, Tuoba Yun seemed to be hiding a new round of rage under his cold face. "It's not surprising. That is, why do centaurs have four levels of youkai? And their strength is obviously higher than the average level of Han people." Liu Zhuang knew that this cold and beautiful mare would easily get angry when her race was mentioned, so he changed the subject and asked indirectly that Diao Chan also had a monster level, which was very strange and he had no idea what it meant. "Oh, when a centaur grows to adulthood, its strength is equivalent to that of a fourth-level monster, and it has extremely exaggerated strength and agility bonuses, but all of this comes at a price." Tuoba Yun explained calmly. "First, the birth rate has not been able to increase. Secondly, it takes a lot of time to learn how to make this half-man, half-horse body work perfectly in harmony. The growth and adulthood time is several years slower than that of the Han people. Look, animal contracts, hunting marks... one hunter level can bring you so many professional benefits, but the centaur consumes four monster levels, and the only benefit it gets is a significant increase in strength and agility." So, what is your animal companion?" Liu Zhuang asked curiously. "It was originally an eagle, but it died in battle some time ago." There was a barely perceptible sadness on Tuoba Yun's cold face as she remembered her dead comrades. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she raised her head abruptly, and her pair of deep blue snake eyes flashed with surprise. "By the way, have you seen the baby dragon contract? Since we have both been upgraded to dragons and are both hunters, why don't we make a contract with each other to be partners? You are mine, and I am yours. We will fight side by side on the battlefield and share life and death. How about that?" Tuoba Yun's face was cold, but his eyes were sparkling with excitement. Lu Bu was very eager to have Liu Zhuang's terrifying reconnaissance ability, and he wished he could tie him up to his side. He had the same idea, and this guy had an amazing level of Chinese localization. With his help, he would be able to localize his compatriots faster. There are quite a few Han people who can be upgraded from dragon vein creatures to dragons, but each of them is outstanding. However, even after being upgraded to a dragon, he is still ostracized by the Han people because of his centaur appearance. That's why he is very sensitive and irritable about this topic. If his Tuoba tribe has a dragon with Han appearance, wouldn't it be more acceptable to those Han people? Unfortunately, all the other Han people who turned into dragons were from aristocratic families. Even those from poor families or commoners looked down on an extremely embarrassing half-blood dragon like himself. They would rather be dogs for the aristocrats than pay attention to himself. Each and every one of them was out of their reach. I finally met a dragon weaker than myself, who was helpless, powerless, and said no to the aristocratic families and even had no resistance to the Xianbei. He helped me to sinicize my compatriots... Isn't this a gift from God to me for free? "It's a word." Liu Zhuang understood what the contract was about and did not object. He had nothing now, and if he could contract the leader of a group of people to be by his side, it would be a huge help to him. It would be much more powerful than contracting a horse or a dog. After learning the contract, he chanted a spell together with Tuoba Yun, and saw two emerald green illusory vines slowly extending from Tuoba Yun and his own left hand, gently wrapping around each other's left hand, and establishing an equal covenant. On the palm of Tuoba Yun's left hand and on the back of Liu Zhuang's left hand, both appeared the mark of a leaping white horse. A golden dragon totem also appeared on the palm of Liu Zhuang's left hand and the back of Tuoba Yun's left hand. The contract was signed, and the two parties became co-hunters, or conjugated dragon partners.
At this moment, Liu Zhuang also clearly saw the other party's dragon blood talent. [Dragon Blood Talent·Painted Skin]: You can transform into any animal (cannot be higher than your own level) "This is my trump card." Tuoba Yun openly exposed his most hidden secrets in front of his new partner. His frosty face quietly melted into gentleness like water. Her shadow cast by the candlelight on the wall suddenly turned into a sticky, wriggling blue phantom, and then twisted into the shadow of a blue cat. The next moment, her tall and beautiful body quickly collapsed in a blue-purple arcane halo and shrank into a snow-white cat, exactly the same as the dark blue phantom on the wall. She blinked her azure snake eyes at Liu Zhuang, expressing her friendliness. Her pink and moist nose sniffed Liu Zhuang's breath, and then rubbed her forehead against his calf, leaving her scent on Liu Zhuang's body. The heavy iron armor also shrank to the size of a cat's body. Before Liu Zhuang could react, the cute white cat quickly expanded into a terrifying pale giant bear in the strange blue-purple light and the wriggling shadows. Thick white hair covered the strong, sturdy muscles and huge body like a hill. The huge bear paws were even three or four times bigger than Liu Zhuang's head. The claws were as sharp and slender as daggers. The bloody mouth opened and let out a terrifying bear roar! On the hideous and terrifying face, the bear eyes were still sharp blue snake pupils. The cat-sized iron armor covered every inch of the giant bear's body, leaving only its claws and fangs exposed. Finally, she turned back into her original form of a centaur. Her horse-shaped lower body was elegant and handsome, while her human-shaped upper body was noble and cold. Her pale hair and snow-white skin made her look like a piece of natural jade without a single scar or flaw. This beautiful sight only lasted for a moment before it was covered up again by the retracted black armor. If it weren't for Liu Zhuang's excellent dynamic vision, he wouldn't have been able to see even this moment. After the blue shadow returned to its centaur form, it also turned back to its normal dark color. Liu Zhuang looked at this talent that was similar to the druid's animal transformation in surprise. It was said that the dream of all hunters was to catch a druid who could transform into any animal and have him as an animal companion. This dream was actually realized by himself. Isn't Tuoba Yun's talent just that of a heavy-armored druid without spells? "It's cool, isn't it? This battle armor is a magical item. It can change according to my body shape and continuously transform into a suit that fits my new body shape! I saved up money for a long time to buy this!" Tuoba Yun proudly showed off his ability to change his painted skin, while also watching Liu Zhuang's perception of double pupils. Both of them gave their biggest secrets to each other without reservation. "So this is your talent. It's very strong. Your strength is only above average, and your agility is even more mediocre. However, the powerful observation ability of this double pupil directly brings your attack and defense to the top level of a rookie. No wonder your archery is so accurate. Compared with this, super strong reconnaissance and spell identification can only serve as a foil." The author says: Author's words: Oh my god, it's only been one day, you guys are too fast. Anyway, thank you for your support~ I will continue to update with 400 monthly tickets! Chapter 16: The Grace of Slaanesh After becoming a conjugate partner, or conjugate hunter, with Tuoba Yun, Liu Zhuang continued to train madly with the villagers in order to survive. Finally, after 20 days, he not only learned the [Hunting Mark] and mastered the [Rapid Shooting], and initially learned the standard weapons and close combat skills of the Han army, but also obtained his first professional level. His speed was so fast that even Tuoba Yun was amazed. The person who made the fastest progress in the Bingzhou army was Lu Bu. It took him only seven days to obtain his first professional level, ranking first in a gap. The next few fastest learners, like Liu Zhuang, took around twenty days. 【Liuzhuang】(Dragon) Level 1 (Hunter Level 1) Health 10, Mana 0 Hit 6, Defense 6 (Dodge +5, Cotton Clothes +1) Strength 16, Agility 10, Constitution 14 Intelligence 12, Wisdom 20, Charisma 10 [Dragon Blood Talent·Double Pupils]: Spell checks, and perception skills such as Scouting and Listening have their effects doubled; Perception replaces Strength/Agility to determine defense and hit rate. [Feat. Power Attack]: When launching a melee attack, for every -1 point of hit, the damage will be increased by an additional +1 point (if you hold a weapon with both hands, for every -1 point of hit, the damage will be increased by an additional +2 points.) [Professional Rapid Shooting]: Shoot multiple feather arrows continuously. For each additional arrow shot, the hit rate of all feather arrows shot in this round is -2.
At this moment, it is already November 16th, and God has sent down three heavy snowfalls, covering the entire grassland into a lonely white snowfield. At this moment, the temperature has dropped to minus 27 or 28 degrees Celsius. According to the old people in the village, this is the lowest temperature in 70 years. Bingzhou has never been so cold before. Every family is wrapped in cotton-padded jackets, making fires and adding firewood to resist the unusual winter cold. Two weeks later, it was December 1st. Among the two hundred villagers, after Liu Zhuang became a first-level hunter, Zhang Ji and Zheng Jiang also became first-level warriors. Although the others did not meet the requirements of the first-level profession, they at least mastered the use of weapons. While exercising his body, Tuoba Yun applied the Beidi Camp's military merit system of the Han Dynasty and the grassland reward and punishment system together to this makeshift team. The rules are simple: half of all spoils obtained from the war will be regarded as everyone's common property and used to purchase weapons, horses, food, fodder and other equipment and supplies. No one can use them for personal use; the rest will be divided equally as private property. However, in order to encourage fighting, the reward for the first meritorious service is five times that of ordinary soldiers: for example, if these two hundred soldiers are divided into four teams to launch an attack, and one of the teams achieves great results, then all fifty people in the entire team will be the first meritorious service. At this point, the reward should be divided into eight parts, with each of the three teams taking one part, the team with the most meritorious service taking five parts, and then the soldiers within the team will divide the reward equally. If someone performs particularly well, such as being the first to climb the city wall, kill a general, or seize a flag, he should be given a portion of the common property, or the general can directly use his own money to give him extra rewards, or even promote him to a higher position. In order to reward soldiers and win over people's hearts, more complex variants such as second-class merit and third-class merit can be created on this basis. Of course, as a picked-up village head, I have no qualifications to grant official positions to others. During this month, Dugu Yan also figured it out and gradually embraced the Han culture. He even dug out a secret map from the land of his former residence and spread it in front of Liu Zhuang - it was a map of the White Horse Pavilion drawn by the Xianbei people. "There were two Han villages near Baima Pavilion that had not been destroyed, so the other two Xianbei troops occupied and stationed there. Like me, they enslaved the Han people to farm and produce food for them, and used that place as their base. Tuoba Yun, I admit that what you said makes sense. The weather is getting colder and colder. Bingzhou is frozen like this, and the situation in the northern grasslands will only get worse. If we, the Xianbei tribe, want to survive, we have no choice but to move south by any means necessary. However, in addition to snatching territory from the Han army and causing heavy casualties to the tribe, we do have another way to go, which is to join the Han army like you did - please show mercy to the other two tribes, just like you did to me, and capture them if possible, persuade them to surrender, and try not to massacre them. " "I promise you, I will try my best to ensure that all my people survive." Tuoba Yun nodded solemnly, then immediately went out with Liu Zhuang taking the map to discuss with several elders in the village. They also skillfully marked the location given by Dugu Yan on a more detailed map of Baima Pavilion compiled by the Han Dynasty. The matter is very clear. In the Han Dynasty, one li was 415 meters. The ten li of Baima Pavilion, if converted into meters, is only 4150 meters. In such a small land, there are actually three tribes of people and horses, and there is only one Xianbei shaman, Dugu Yan, who is responsible for weddings and funerals. Even if we hide here, the people from the two villages will come here sooner or later. The distance between the three parties is too close. It’s God’s blessing that they haven’t discovered our presence in this month, and everyone has been training hard for a month. Instead of waiting for the enemy to come to us, it is better to strike first and catch them off guard!!! "Yun, can you call some people from Beidi Camp? Even just a small team?" Liu Zhuang was somewhat worried about the lack of combat effectiveness. "I'm afraid not. It's already December. Not to mention the terrible road conditions in the snowfield, the soldiers are either doing their annual summary or preparing to celebrate the New Year. At this point, many soldiers even ask for leave in advance to go home for the holidays, which leads to a very tight troop strength. The rest of the soldiers are patrolling and stationed at their posts. They have no time to leave. Even if reinforcements come, they can only be some logistics personnel." Tuoba Yun gently put his arm around Liu Zhuang's shoulders, and once his cold face thawed, it was filled with gentleness like water, and he spoke confidently. "Don't be afraid. I'm here. It's just a sneak attack to kill two centaurs. There's nothing to be afraid of." After some discussion, Liu Zhuang and Tuoba Yun went to patrol and investigate the two villages first. Before taking action, Liu Zhuang went to the hut where Dugu Yan was imprisoned. To use magic, he needed to perform some complex gestures while chanting spells. Then it is very simple to restrict others from casting spells. Just block their mouths and tie their hands. Dugu Yan is in this state now. Although some powerful spellcasters can cast spells without chanting spells or taking actions, Dugu Yan, who is only at the shaman level, is obviously not such a strong person. Liu Zhuang first secretly used divine perception and found that Dugu Yan had records of an [entanglement spell] and a [charm spell], both of which he had seen before. The last one is a new thing. [First Ring Divine Spell: Grace of Slaanesh]: Consume 1 mana point, pray for the Dark Prince's blessing, hit +1, damage +1, dodge +1 within one minute.
Well, it all looks good, but the divine snake she believed in turned out to be the Prince of Darkness... Never mind, who cares about that. Liu Zhuang immediately used mana siphoning to plunder Dugu Yan's three spells and 3 points of mana into his own body like a rainbow absorbing water. This time, he carefully calculated the duration of his [Mana Siphon]. It took six seconds to completely plunder a divine spell from the target. During this period, with his extraordinary perception, he could always see the six palaces of the Dark Prince. He watched the true god sitting on the human skin throne, surrounded by thousands of naked men and women, spreading his vast divine power to the mortal believers, and he had snatched a portion of it. It took Liu Zhuang eighteen seconds to absorb all the magic in Dugu Yan's body before he could barely feel safe. With the hunter's skills and the shaman's magic to protect him, he had the confidence to go and fight the Xianbei people. After an unknown amount of time, Dugu Yan, who was still studying Han culture, looked at his empty mana pool in amazement, as if he had seen a ghost. Where is my magic? Why is it gone again?
