Guo Huzi's eyes widened, and the word 'passed' on the assessment application form was like a big mouth hitting him hard in the face.
"Fuck you! Who dares to cheat in the hunter assessment?" Zhou Long grinned, glared at Guo Huzi and said, "The name on the application form is Elder Zhuang's. Do you dare to question the elder?"
From the discussions of these hunters, Luo Xiu learned that the old man in white robes who had just been responsible for giving him the assessment was Zhuang Nantian, the elder of the hunters branch of Qingyun City.
And this Zhuang Nantian is also a third-level array mage!
In the entire Qingyun City, there are only five formation masters who have reached the third level.
Jiang Shanshan was also stunned, especially since she had just said that if this young man passed her, she would pursue him.
Seeing Luo Xiu staring at her with a smile, Jiang Shanshan's cheeks suddenly turned red.
"Humph, little brother, let's wait until you grow up to talk about this matter." She curled her lips, her red lips were very sexy, and she wanted to cheat a little bit.
"Haha, this kid must have done it on purpose. At such a young age, he dares to date the most beautiful woman in our Qingyun City Hunter Branch. He has a bright future!"
"Hey, Guo Huzhu, didn't you just say that if this little brother passes the test, you will twist his head off and play it as a ball for him?"
"That's right, if you are a mastermind, quickly twist your head off!"
More and more people in the hall started making noises.
At this time, Jiang Shanshan also took out a badge with crossed swords and handed it to Luo Xiu, "Little brother, congratulations on becoming a hunter."
The badge is white. In addition to the logo of the Hunters Guild, there is also a star, which means that Luo Xiu is now a one-star hunter!
There are nine levels of hunters. One to three stars are junior hunters, four to six stars are intermediate hunters, and seven to nine stars are senior hunters.
The higher the level of the hunter, the more benefits there will be. However, the hunter branch in Qingyun City can only place a three-star hunter badge at most. If it has four stars and above, you have to go to the county seat of Yunlong County.
Guo Huzi's face was as dark as an iron pot at the moment. Not only did he lose a thousand taels of silver, but he was also laughed at by many of his colleagues, which made him feel completely humiliated.
Of course, it was impossible for him to really twist his head off. Others just used it as a joke and didn't really take it seriously.
"Snapped!"
A money bag was thrown in front of Luo Xiu. The tall and burly Zhou Long grinned and said: "Little brother, this is five hundred taels of silver. Guo Huzi just made a bet with me that you would not pass the test. The total bet was one thousand taels.
We each share half."
Luo Xiu was slightly startled. Five hundred taels of silver was a huge sum of money to him. The gambling fight between Zhou Long and Guo Huzi had nothing to do with him. Logically speaking, Zhou Long won the money, so there was no need to share it with him.
.
"Brother Zhou Long, you won this money, I can't take it." Luo Xiu refused politely. He didn't like accepting benefits from others for no reason.
"If it weren't for you, little brother, I wouldn't be able to win this money, so don't refuse, otherwise you will look down on me, Zhou Long."
In fact, for Zhou Long, money is a trivial matter, and embarrassing his old enemy Guo Huzi is what really makes him happy.
Luo Xiu smiled. Zhou Long had already said this, so he couldn't continue to refuse.
"Then thank you Brother Zhou for your kindness." He thanked him and put the money bag away.
A boy who is less than fourteen years old is still very conspicuous in the hunter hall. The average age of many hunters gathered here is basically over twenty-five years old.
Zhou Long insisted on inviting Luo Xiu to drink. He had never drank alcohol since he was a child, so he was almost forced to sit on a table in the hall.
Counting Zhou Long and Luo Xiu, there are five people at this table. One is a thin man with a cold face, and the other two are twin sisters with average looks but hot figures. They wear tight-fitting military uniforms and are well-shaped.
.
"Come on, little brother Luo Xiu, let me introduce you..."
Under Zhou Long's introduction, Luo Xiu learned that the thin man with a cold face was called Guo Ang, and the twin sisters were named Ji Rou'er and Ji Que'er.
Including Zhou Long, the four of them are a team of hunters. The leader Zhou Long is a warrior at the second level of Qi Sea Realm, Guo Ang is at the ninth level of body refining, and sisters Ji Rouer and Ji Queer are both at the eighth level of body refining.
Not to mention the major states and counties of Tianwu Kingdom, hunters are the most common group of warriors in all the major empires in the world, and teams like Zhou Long are the most common.
"Luo Xiu, I said before that if you can pass the assessment, I will let you join my team, how about it?" Zhou Long took a big sip of wine and said with a smile.
Half an hour ago, Luo Xiu came to apply for the hunter assessment. No one in the hall thought he could pass. Zhou Long also said a few words half-jokingly at first, but he didn't think Luo Xiu had much chance of passing the assessment.
But the final result was beyond everyone's expectation. Luo Xiu actually passed the assessment and obtained the one-star hunter badge with the lowest standard of fifth-level body training!
Hunters generally pay great attention to credibility, so Zhou Long invited Luo Xiu to join his team, which can be regarded as fulfilling his promise.
The deep mountains and swamps are full of dangers, and the monsters are ferocious and powerful. Except for the martial arts masters who are extremely powerful individually, most hunters will go hunting in teams.
Especially when facing some monsters that move in groups, the importance of the team will be more vividly reflected.
"Captain, isn't this inappropriate?"
Before Luo Xiu said anything, Guo Ang, who was sitting next to him, frowned and said.
"Although Luo Xiu passed the assessment, he is only at the fifth level of body training after all. Joining our team with such strength will drag us back."
This Guo Ang is second only to captain Zhou Long in terms of strength in the team, and his words also carry some weight.
Zhou Long frowned, "How many people can pass the hunter test at the fifth level of body refining? Luo Xiu is only thirteen years old and has great potential. He may be stronger than me in the future. You have to have a long-term vision."
plan."
Although Zhou Long said this, Guo Ang was still a little reluctant, saying: "It would be fine if the disciples of those aristocratic families hired us to take them to the mountains for training. We would recruit a little guy who is at the fifth level of body training as a team member. Anyway, I don't want to
Agree."
"What's more, he doesn't even have a single combat weapon, how can he fight monsters with his fists?" Guo Ang glanced at Luo Xiu with a hint of contempt.
It's not like he has never seen young hunters like Luo Xiu. Most of them are young masters and young ladies from aristocratic families. Similar to this kind of rookie, his cultivation level may not be low, but when he actually goes to the mountains to fight monsters head-on, his actual fighting ability
But it's far worse.
While Zhou Long and Guo Ang were arguing, Luo Xiu did not speak because he had no intention of joining any team from the beginning.
"Brother Zhou, I appreciate your kindness. If there is nothing else, I will leave."
Luo Xiu did not argue with Guo Ang. Although his cultivation level was very low, he had his own methods and trump cards, and he could naturally find his own way of survival.
Before Guo Ang and Zhou Long could say anything, Luo Xiu had already stood up and strode towards the gate of the Hunters Guild.
"Guo Ang, even if you don't agree with him joining, the words are too unpleasant?" Zhou Long glared at Guo Ang with some displeasure.
Guo Ang was not convinced and snorted coldly: "I did it for his own good. If I really want to take him out hunting, it would be a drag on us if we don't talk about it. It would be better if I don't do it and he will lose his life."
Most hunters actually disdain the so-called young geniuses, because no matter how fast you practice, as long as you have not experienced the baptism of life and death, you will definitely not become a true master.
Many young people who claim to be geniuses have their eyes set high and go into the mountains to hunt, but the mortality rate is very high.
Therefore, many disciples from aristocratic families hire a team of hunters to protect them when they go out for training. Zhou Long and his team have also taken on such tasks several times.
When he reached the gate of the Hunters Guild, Luo Xiu looked back and saw Jiang Shanshan looking at him.
Probably because she didn't expect Luo Xiu to turn around suddenly, Jiang Shanshan was startled and quickly lowered her head, her cheeks turning crimson.
Luo Xiu just smiled at this and left the Hunters Guild.
When Jiang Shanshan looked up again, Luo Xiu's figure had disappeared.
"My cultivation level will probably reach the sixth level of body refining in the next two or three days. I will wait until my cultivation level reaches the sixth level to do the hunting."
Walking on the street, Luo Xiu secretly thought in his heart, "Going out for hunting is not a trivial matter. During this period, I also have to make some preparations."
After thinking about it, Luo Xiu came to Fangshi in the north of the city. The first thing he saw was a shop selling formation devices.
In Qingyun City, in addition to the Hunters Guild, there are also the Array Masters Guild, the Alchemist Guild, and the Foundry Masters Guild.
Array Master is one of the special professions among warriors. They use the combination of attributes of various materials to assist various secret techniques, lay out or create treasures with various magical abilities.
For example, the spirit gathering formation is a formation that condenses the vitality of heaven and earth and speeds up a warrior's cultivation. It is also one of the most common basic formations.
According to the different effects of the formation, it is also divided into nine levels, corresponding to the level of the formation master from the first level to the ninth level.
Array masters are very popular among warriors, and many of the array devices they produce are very popular among warriors. There will also be major forces that hire powerful array masters to set up various large arrays.
Therefore, many major forces will train their own formation masters, but it is very difficult to train high-level formation masters. Not only does the formation master need to have extremely high talents, but inheritance is also an extremely important part.
At the same time, formation mages also have strong combat capabilities. Some high-level formation mages have to be bowed down by big forces.
In addition to formation masters, alchemists and casters also have special status far beyond ordinary warriors. These three professions are also special groups in the world of martial arts practitioners.
"Holy crap! The first-level spirit gathering array costs 10,000 taels of silver?"
In this shop, Luo Xiu's expression changed instantly when he saw a palm-sized white disc engraved with various rune patterns on the shelf.
The first-level formation corresponds to the warrior's cultivation level of the body refining realm, and this disk-shaped thing is the formation device.
The first-level spirit gathering array can triple the cultivation level of body refining realm warriors, and only those disciples from aristocratic families can afford to use it.
Luo Xiu touched the money bag hanging on his waist. Five hundred taels of silver was a huge sum of money to him. What about ten thousand taels of silver?
