Chapter 377: Hunting Goddess's Surprise, Talent [Beast Spirit Resonance]

Luna Peak, forest.

A golden-horned deer leaped nimbly across a pebbled shallow beach. The female hunter on the mount drew her bow and arrow, aiming at the Rune bear drinking water. The golden arrow broke through the wind and hit the giant bear with a whoosh.

Boom——

The Rune Bear fell to the ground with a splash of water.

There was a beautiful rainbow hanging above the stream, and the refracted light illuminated Artemis' wheat-colored skin. She nodded with satisfaction, put her finger to her lips, and blew a whistle. Three faun hounds quickly rushed out and dragged the Rune Bear back to Yeats and Artemis.

"If you want to learn my archery, you must first develop your hunting instincts."

Artemis looked back and said, "Only if you can analyze the habits, weaknesses, and escape routes of your prey the moment you see them can you always hit the target... The same is true in battle."

"In the final analysis," Artemis said, elegantly carrying her longbow, exuding a capable beauty, "there is no essential difference between the enemy and the prey."

This is the third day that Yeats has been learning archery from Artemis.

Yeats' goal is to master the "Bow of Luna" used by Artemis in the battle against Plague Knight.

The Bow of the Moon Goddess is a single-target killing weapon. The arrow shot out from it is like a silver light cannon, containing the surging divinity of moonlight.

"Blessing of the Wild Hunt: Ten Thousand Arrows" is suitable for dealing with large-scale enemies, but in a showdown between strong opponents, "Bow of the Moon Goddess" is undoubtedly more suitable.

Yeats thought about Artemis's argument about the "hunting instinct" and said:

"I know a lot about magical beasts... I can summarize the backgrounds and habits of 90% of the magical beasts in the world. According to you, this knowledge can also be applied to archery?"

"Hmm? Wait a minute."

Artemis was straightforward. She turned her head to look at Yeats and said with interest:

"My shepherd hound is also a magical beast. Do you know anything about them?"

This is said in a sarcastic tone.

As a mortal, how could I possibly understand the hound of God?

It was just that Yeats was bragging, and Artemis wanted to test him on purpose and then make some fun of him.

Yeats pondered for a moment, staring at the three majestic hounds in front of Artemis.

For some reason, the three hounds looked cautious in the face of the young man's deep gaze, and they retracted their front line and crouched at the feet of the goddess of hunting.

Such a strong sense of oppression!

The thought arose in the minds of the three hounds at the same time, as if they were facing a formidable enemy!

Seeing him look away, the hounds breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Shepherd God Hound is probably a magical beast specially bred by the Shepherd God Pan. It has the ability to both herd and hunt, and can even hunt large griffins. Every Shepherd God Hound is born with an imperial bloodline."

Ye Zhi groaned and said, "As for the hounds under your command... they should all be royal level or above."

Artemis' eyes flashed with a strange color, and she smiled and said, "Well said. It can be seen that you have some insights into animal taming."

"But...how do you know all this?" Artemis asked.

The shepherd god Pan once gave the goddess of hunting a group of hunting dogs as a gift, and there was a friendship between the two.

Yeats took out Pan's Flute and explained:

"I have inherited the legacy of the Shepherd God, so I have some knowledge of animal taming."

Artemis suddenly realized, looking at the Pan flute in Ye Zhi's hand, a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "Unconsciously, so much time has passed. Some gods have fallen, and some gods are still fighting each other..."

"For example, the Moonlight Goddess and the Dark Night Goddess!"

The sound of drilling teeth complaining rang in my mind.

"Once they find out that the Chosen One they chose is the same person, they will definitely start fighting again!"

Ye Zhi was silent, and suddenly had a bad feeling and looked up at the sky.

Daisy disappeared this time, probably to bring a message to the two goddesses! "Since you have Pan's Flute, your attainments in animal taming should be better than I expected." Artemis smiled slightly, "Come, let me see your magical pet! Maybe I can give you some appropriate advice!"

Artemis is the patron saint of the hunter profession, and her authority covers wild beasts, hunting, archery, the moon, etc.

Her beast companions include, but are not limited to, the golden-horned deer, the faun hound, the moon pig, the gray-faced buzzard, and the titan chicken.

Because Artemis has the power to tame animals, on her holy festivals, animal tamers often offer sacrifices and pray to her, asking her to bless their beast companions with good health.

Ye Zhi's heart moved, thinking that he might be able to take this opportunity to promote his pets! The light was shining.

Ye Zhi summoned a snowy owl, a snow leopard, and a headless knight from the magical pet plane at the same time.

The snowy owl stood on the snow leopard's head, wearing a monocle, and was studying the six-ring scroll floating in front of him. He caught a glimpse of everyone out of the corner of his eye, and turned his head 180 degrees, turning his back and continuing to read attentively.

As soon as the snow leopard came out, it raised its head and howled with joy. After all, it hadn't had a role in a long time, and there was a clarity in its eyes that showed that it had never been to school.

The Dullahan tried to salute Artemis, but his helmet accidentally fell to the ground.

clang!

She calmly picked up the "head" and reinserted it into the neck of the armor.

"These...are all your familiars?" Artemis sounded a little surprised.

It was already very rare for a mortal to be able to train an emperor-level magical beast, and the snowy owl in front of him was actually an emperor-level magical beast! This really surprised Artemis, a master of beast taming.

Each of these three pets exudes a surging divinity, corresponding to magic, ice, and death, which once made Artemis wonder if she had made a mistake.

Ye Zhi nodded and said, "What's the problem?"

Artemis pointed at the Snowy Owl and said in surprise:

"This level of magical divinity... If I'm not mistaken, it should be Minerva's chosen one?"

"Yes." Ye Zhi admitted generously, "It was during the trial in the Minerva Bell Tower that my Snow Owl was recognized by the Goddess of Magic."

Artemis looked at the snowy owl curiously, stretched out her slender fingers and gently touched the snowy owl's head. It turned back and rolled its eyes at Artemis impatiently, then turned back to continue concentrating.

I'm reading a book, don't dig! Artemis blinked, and a glimmer appeared in her beautiful eyes.

Royal-level magical beast, chosen by the magic god! These two identities combined mean that this owl is expected to become a legendary magical beast like the "Sphinx" that excels in wisdom! And such a rare existence is actually the magical pet of this Moonlight God's choice!

I don't know how he maintains the loyalty of the monsters and doesn't get attacked by the emperor-level monsters... His ability to tame beasts is really excellent! Artemis looked at the snow leopard, who was good at hunting, and felt a sense of familiarity. He smiled and said:

"This should be the sacred beast of the goddess of winter and fishing and hunting, right?"

"How did you know that?"

"The Goddess of Fishing and Hunting and I once had a contest. She sent out her sacred beast, the Snow Leopard, to fight against my sacred beast, the Moon Pig. In the end, I was slightly better."

Artemis' eyes flickered slightly, and she said softly:

"But that was a long time ago. Now the Winter Goddess...her power has been plundered and she is seriously injured. I don't know her current situation."

Artemis had an inextricable bond with wild boars.

According to legend, she had a conflict with the god of love because a priest of the moon god admired the goddess of hunting and despised the god of love, so the god of love killed the priest through the hands of the priest's mother.

You dare to kill my priest? Artemis sent out the moon pigs to kill the lover of the god of love on earth.

The goddess of hunting therefore became enemies with the god of love, and their relationship was very unharmonious.

Yeats sighed.

In the old era, when demigod heroes emerged in large numbers, it was common for goddesses to look for lovers in the human world.

This matter is also recorded in the neighboring "Baldur's Gate". Gael, the chosen god of magic, is also the lover of the magic goddess Mystra.

"This holy beast also has a very strong winter divinity."

Artemis looked at Ye Zhi deeply, and said in a complicated tone: "I can't figure out how you contracted these magical pets..."

Ye Zhi stroked his chin: "Maybe it's because... my cooking tastes better?"

Artemis was slightly startled, and then fell into deep thought, thinking to herself, if he was good at eating, and indeed relied on delicious food to gain the favor and loyalty of the monsters, then his explanation was not unreasonable...

Finally, Artemis's gaze fixed on the Dullahan and she frowned slightly.

Death and light actually exist at the same time in this soul.

What on earth did this knight experience in his lifetime? "It's really weird."

Artemis murmured in a low voice: "An undead creature actually has the power of faith. This is unprecedented..."

"What power of faith?" Ye Zhi asked curiously.

"Your magical pet, you yourself don't even know her origins?" Artemis asked back.

This is because we haven't had time to do the plot line of the Headless Horseman yet.

Ye Zhi looked back at the Headless Knight Kelya.

There was a clanging sound, the armor vibrated, and Kylia also looked at Ye Zhi.

"I remember you said that your head is on the other side of the ocean, so it is very likely in the territory of Roland Kingdom."

Ye Zhi said seriously: "After a while, I will help you investigate!"

The Dullahan was silent for a moment and nodded deeply.

Rolling bones——

Crash!

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

The head falls into the river and is carried along with the current.

Artemis: "..."

Headless Knight: “…”

Ye Zhi held his forehead with his hand: "Snowy Owl, use the object control technique to help me!"

"You showed me many things that are hard to see."

Artemis crossed her arms, looked appreciative, and nodded, saying, "To show my gratitude, I have decided to give you a blessing. This blessing can also help you and the monsters become closer..."

A ray of moonlight divinity fell into Yeats’ body.

As a subordinate god of the moon goddess, Artemis' divinity is also symbolized by moonlight.

[Talent·Beast Resonance: Enhance your perception, and be able to sense nearby monsters. You can resonate with the beasts, share each other's feelings and intentions, and use the beasts' power to heal the monsters.

The wildness in our blood guides us——Archdruid·Heart of the Beast·Vida】

Artemis was also revered among the druids.

Druid schools are mainly divided into moonlight and nature.

The druids who served Artemis were a minority group, and gave rise to the Beast School.

A druid with the talent of [Beast Resonance] not only has a strong affinity with wild beasts, but can also greatly improve his physical fitness when transforming into a wild beast.

Ye Zhi did not master the Druid Transfiguration, but he did master the Shadow Transfiguration. It was a pity that his [Talent·Beast Spirit Resonance] could not resonate with the transformed shadow beast, otherwise transforming into a shadow beast to fight would have been a good strategy.

Digesting the changes brought about by his talent, Ye Zhi exhaled slowly, feeling that he was becoming more and more adept at issuing commands to his magical pet.

Even at the Knights' Conference, you can summon magical pets to fight. At that time, you can shoot arrows from a distance while using [Beast Spirit Resonance] to distract yourself and command the magical pets to fight.

This is the hunter’s kite flying. Do other professions have this kind of kite flying?

What? Bard is the main occupation?

That's a part-time job, a part-time poet!

Noticing the changes in Ye Zhi, Artemis, the goddess of hunting, could keenly discover his improvement in animal taming. She nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, today's training is not over yet. Go get the beehive on the tree next to the rune bear first."

"Why take the beehive?" Yeats asked.

Artemis stared at Yeats, her eyes bright, and said word by word: "I. Want. To. Eat. Honey!"

Ye Zhi: “…”

I can see that you are also a dessert lover! Night falls.

Yeats invited Artemis back to the palace and cooked dessert for her.

Artemis is disgusted with human cities and says that she will only stay in the mountains and forests and will leave after teaching Yeats the "Bow of Luna".

Yeats then prepared macarons, a dessert, in advance in the palace and brought them to the mountains.

Macaron, a classic French dessert, is made with egg whites, almond powder, white sugar and icing sugar. It is brightly colored and colorful. It is said to have originated in the mid-sixteenth century.

Artemis carefully looked at the colorful macarons and said:

"It looks like a poisonous mushroom."

"It should suit your taste." Ye Zhi said, "I made the mooncakes presented to the Moon God before. You can trust my cooking skills."

"Mooncake... I see... No wonder you are favored by the Moon Goddess..."

Artemis thought for a moment, then picked up the macaron from the box and took a bite.

Suddenly.

The sweet taste spreads on the tip of the tongue.

Compared with the natural honey in the mountains, the processed desserts are much sweeter! Artemis opened her eyes wide, with a hint of brilliance in her eyes.

“This box is all mine.”

Artemis waved her hand, and the exquisite wooden box disappeared. She stood in the moonlight, her wreath-like hair dyed with silver light, one hand on her waist, and smiled:

"Bring another box tomorrow night, and I will teach you archery. Otherwise, I won't teach you!"

Ye Zhi was speechless and said, "No problem, I can tell you the method of making it."

"Cooking is your job. I am only responsible for teaching you archery..." Artemis paused for a moment, his eyes like crescent moons, and he smiled, "Also, enjoy your offerings."

Three days later, Ye Zhi successfully mastered the "Bow of the Moon Goddess".

Sunset.

Artemis sat on the treetop, swinging her slender white feet, with a box of exquisite cakes on her knees. She chewed them in small bites and called out:

"Yezhi, stop first!"

Beside the stream, Ye Zhi was shirtless, revealing his knife-like torso and tanned skin. He put down the longbow in his hand, adjusted his breathing, and said:

"Was my posture just now wrong?"

Artemis shook her head and smiled, "Your posture is already very standard, and you have almost mastered the Luna Bow. It's time to inspect the results."

"So, I decided to let it be your sparring partner. It is the war beast of the Moonlight Cult and the sacred beast of the Moonlight Goddess..."

Artemis clapped her hands.

boom!!

In the dust, a fat and strong moon pig raised its head and let out a long roar.

Let me see who is so blind as to be my opponent!

Ye Zhi's eyes lit up: "Is it you?"

Yuezhu was stunned for a moment, looking at Ye Zhi in confusion. After a while, his eyes became extremely terrified!

Oh no, run! Dust and smoke flew up, and Moon Pig came running over with great vigor. He braked suddenly and almost fell down. He turned around and ran away quickly.

Ye Zhi: “…”

He who knows the times is a hero!

Artemis sighed and said, "Never mind. I can see that it doesn't really want to fight you. Let my mount do it then."

The golden-horned deer shook its shining antlers, took a step forward, and glanced at Yeats proudly.

Above the emperor-level Warcraft is the epic Warcraft, which corresponds to the seven-ring sanctuary, but does not have the ability to open the sanctuary. It is much easier to deal with than the human sanctuary.

The golden-horned deer is an epic beast, and in this duel, he can let the royal snow owl act with him.

Ye Zhi thought for a moment, adjusted his breathing, clenched the Moon Goddess Bow, nodded and said:

“Let’s get started!”
