Skill extraction starting from Dragon Clan

The king of Calydon, Oeneus, was a devout believer. He would sacrifice fresh fruits from the harvest season to the gods every year, and each god had corresponding sacrifices.

However, due to some changes this year, he did not sacrifice to Artemis, the goddess of hunting and the moon. During the sacrificial season, there were neither offerings nor fireworks in front of Artemis's altar.

This made the already willful Moon Goddess very angry and decided to take revenge on the country that had neglected her.

"So you lost a boar on the plains of Calydon?"

Zheng Shu pinched the bridge of his nose and had a headache looking at Luna, who was suspended in mid-air like a duck and still sobbing.

"I just threw a little cub down. I didn't expect this guy to grow up so fast." Artemis revealed her grievance in her voice, "The power of the magic pig should be much smaller than that of the dragon, and its growth rate is not as fast. It will be soon. Who knows that this little cub ate something somewhere, and by the time I found out, it had become completely different."

Zheng Shu felt even more headache after hearing this.

Not to mention the changes that occurred later, just the fact that the cub abandoned at the beginning made Artemis compare it to dragons already represented how difficult that magic pig was.

Well, to the gods, this behavior of King Oeneus of Calydon was indeed quite a sign of contempt, and it was considered normal to impose severe punishment.

With Calydon's strength, dealing with a demon pig that is still underage and weaker than a dragon is not a big problem, but it just costs more.

"I probably know why you came to me, but there is one thing I'm not sure about. Since the purpose is to punish them, why do you need to find someone to solve it? And even if you find a problem, you can just solve it directly. Okay, why are you here for me?" Zheng Shu was a little curious.

"I just want to teach them a lesson and let them remember to sacrifice to me next time. It would be a bad thing if that country was bulldozed."

Artemis pressed two fingers against each other and whispered.

"But if I recycle the wild boar now, it would be too easy to talk about. What if they forget about me next time..."

"Okay, Lady Artemis, you are right to be worried, but is it necessary to be so anxious?"

Zheng Shu was talking about the fact that the Moon God directly bumped into him. Anyway, this was a bit too impatient.

"Of course I'm so impatient because that child, Ta Miao, is also going to Calydon to defeat the magic pig. No matter how much I try to persuade her, she won't listen. Hercules was punished by Zeus again and couldn't act, so I can only come here now. Looking for you."

Artemis started crying again when she said this.

Zheng Shu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He was not surprised that Atalanta chose to go to defeat Calydon's demon pig. What surprised him was the name of Atalanta given by the moon god Artemis.

This guy...couldn't he have been quietly and slowly staring at Atalanta?

Thinking about it, it's very possible. After all, in name, Atalanta can be regarded as the adopted daughter of Artemis.

However, Zheng Shu also understood the reason why the Moon God was anxious. Although in myths and legends the heroes did defeat the demonic pigs that ravaged Calydon, it is hard to say what the final result would be if a mutation occurred.

Thinking of this, Zheng Shu no longer hesitated. The magic power in his body circulated, and the seawater on his body evaporated instantly: "Okay, I already know the general situation. In that case, I will accept your commission."

"Really?! That's great, thank you Zheng Shu!"

Artemis cheered and was about to pounce on her, but at least Zheng Shu was prepared and leaned away from the other party's hug.

Looking at Yue Shen who frowned as if he was about to cry again, Zheng Shu immediately turned serious.

"Let's talk about it first, Lord Luna. Although we have a good relationship, you still have to pay me for this matter."

"Of course, no problem, you helped me solve this matter, no matter what I do, I can do it." Artemis clenched a fist with one hand, looking determined.

Zheng Shu found it a bit funny, but also admired him a bit. Although these gods enjoyed playing with humans, at least they knew their mistakes and could correct them, and they were also willing to put down their own status. In a sense, these gods were better than most of the people in the human world. The leadership is much better.

"Perhaps...it's because they are essentially machine gods, so their personalities are much better than those in myths and legends."

A thought flashed through Zheng Shu's mind, and then he smiled: "It's just a reward, it's not that exaggerated. I heard that there is a treasure called 'Golden Apple'. I hope you can give it to me after solving this matter." One."

"Huh? Is that all?"

"Oh? From what you say, doesn't it mean that this golden apple is not too precious? But I heard that everyone who sees the golden apple will be fascinated by it."

Artemis nodded cutely: "If it is indeed very precious to non-gods, it can only be considered average to gods. After all, as long as there is enough time, it will eventually grow. It comes out, and its only effect is to prolong life.

As for the fact that you said that everyone who sees a golden apple will be fascinated by it, in fact, that is because the golden apple itself is an extremely concentrated essence of life, which has an excellent tonic effect on all living things, so after seeing it, The biological instinct of the creatures themselves will prompt you to turn your attention to the golden apple.

This kind of thing is easy to deal with. As long as you have eaten a golden apple once, you will not be confused by it again. "

As she spoke, Artemis opened a black vortex next to her, reached out and searched inside, and soon took out a golden apple from the vortex.

Although it is shaped like an apple, both the skin and the roots on it look golden, like a model made of pure gold.

Just as Artemis said, Zheng Shu's attention was attracted the moment he saw the golden apple.

However, this kind of attraction is not mandatory. It is a bit like a hungry person suddenly seeing a big meal. Zheng Shu quickly turned his attention back when he was prepared.

"for you."

"Give me your reward now?"

Zheng Shu took the golden apple in a daze. It has to be said that the golden apple is not only about its appearance. It is also quite heavy in quality. Although it cannot reach the density of gold, it is still much heavier than ordinary apples. .

"Anyway, this thing is not very precious, so it doesn't matter, but do you really just need the golden apple? Do you need me to help you find another piece of God's weapon?"

"That's not necessary, the golden apple is enough."

The corners of Zheng Shu's eyes twitched unconsciously when he heard this. He is indeed the most favored Lord God. Can he give something of the level of God's Armament casually?

"Then thank you Zheng Shu, you are such a good person."

Artemis raised her body happily and patted Zheng Shu on the shoulder, then her expression became anxious again.

"Then can you leave quickly? I'm afraid that the child is too impatient. If he goes late, it will be bad."

"No problem, I'll leave right away! But does Lady Artemis know where Calydon is? I'm a little disoriented now."

"Ah, this is simple, you just need to use my blessing."

Before Zheng Shu could speak, the Moon God pointed at the sky. The originally bright sunshine dimmed instantly, and the moon rose in Zheng Shu's stunned eyes.

"???"

Zheng Shu was really confused now. Judging from the fluctuations of the ocean beneath him, it was indeed the real moon and not an illusion.

Can the gods do whatever they want?

Even if he had reached the black king level in the dragon world, the power Zheng Shu had obtained could not support him to do such a thing.

Can the power of the gods in the moon-shaped world be so strong? This was just the power of the moon god Artemis. Zheng Shu didn't even dare to think about how terrifying it would be if it were Zeus.

It was only then that Zheng Shu suddenly discovered how difficult it was to be "immune to the power of all gods" that he had originally requested for the God's Arms, and how valuable his God's Arms would be after it was realized.

No wonder even when the God of Fire Hephaestus used the last precious piece of God's metal, the God's weapons created had the defect of having no defense at all.

Feeling Artemis' doubtful gaze, Zheng Shu knew that he had been in a daze for a long time.

He exhaled, stopped all his thoughts, and then activated the Moon God's Blessing.

Looking at the silver-white moonlight beam falling from a certain direction, Zheng Shu nodded towards Artemis, then unfolded his divine weapons and flew towards the target direction.

…

…

Calydon's King Oeneus has been in a very bad mood recently, because the grains specially used to sacrifice to Artemis suddenly went out of production for unknown reasons, resulting in the absence of Artemis among the gods sacrificed this year. Miss.

In fact, Oeneus also thought of various ways to make amends, such as using a living sacrifice that had not been used for a long time to offset his sins, but he did not expect that the living sacrifice chosen by the gods was himself.

That is definitely not possible. Although Oeneus is pious, he is not mentally retarded. Of course, he will not really dedicate himself to appease the anger of the gods.

Of course, Artemis was furious because she didn't sacrifice herself, and sent a group of huge monsters.

The monster's body was beyond the standard. Although it looked like a pig, it couldn't be called a wild boar at all.

The demon pig's body has always been exuding the stench of corruption. Wherever it passes, it will be polluted, the land will decay, the crops will rot, and the water will stink. It is a real natural disaster-like life form that will cause harm as long as it exists.

At the beginning, when the demon pig was not that big, many heroes went to attack it, but without exception, they were all devoured and turned into food for the demon pig to grow.

But now, the size of the demon pig has far exceeded the range that normal heroes can deal with.

At this point, neither an army nor a single hero was of use, so naturally, Oeneus thought of gathering a large number of heroes to organize a crusade team.

So he summoned brave men, represented by his son Meleager, to hunt the demon pig.

At this moment, Meleager and the heroes he summoned were standing outside the ancient forest discussing countermeasures, discussing whether to set a trap on the uphill slope first.

Facing a monster of that level, if you rush forward recklessly, you will only lose your life in vain. None of the heroes here would be so stupid, so everyone is waiting for the return of the investigators.

However, while waiting for the investigators to return, something was wrong with the atmosphere within the expedition team, and the root cause was a girl sitting far away from the crowd.

The most conspicuous thing about the girl is her yellow-green hair, which she pulled into a bun, with an ivory quiver hanging on her shoulder, holding a bow in her right hand, and her face was rosy.

Obviously other heroes have rough skin due to years of exposure to wind and sun, but this girl's skin looks unusually white and tender for some reason. She looks like a noble lady who has been taking good care of her.

Because of this, since the girl joined the team, these rough guys have tried every means to show their bravery in front of her.

If it hadn't been for the fact that someone had seen this girl kill two centaurs with a long bow, there might have been an impatient hero ready to use it now.

Sitting on a tree branch on the edge of the crusade, Atalanta looked at the heroes in the distance who were deliberately showing off their power, and couldn't help but frown.

For the heroes of this era, "fighting" equals "offerings to the gods" equals "ravaging", so even when hunting, they show unnecessary roughness.

Faced with such rude heroes, Atalanta didn't like any of them. If she really wanted to say that the only man who could make her care, it was probably that man.

Thinking of this, Atalanta was a little frowning again. She took out an earth-yellow crystal the size of a fist from her backpack, pointed it at the sun and observed it carefully.

This was exactly the core of the doll that Zheng Shu had given him. However, compared with when Zheng Shu gave it to him, this crystal seemed much dimmer. Except for the little crystal-like starlight in the center, the entire crystal The stone no longer looks like a crystal but like a stone.

"Should we go find that guy?"

Atalanta is a little confused, and she doesn't know why. Recently, her desire for fruits has become more and more intense, so much so that she overused the fruit-making function of the doll, causing the doll's energy to be completely exhausted.

But that guy should be living quite happily in Korsky now...

Although she didn't know the specific situation, Atalanta knew Zheng Shu's character very well, and he must have used some method to help Korski's king overcome this difficulty.

Therefore, unlike other Argonauts who believed that Zheng Shu had died on the way to cut off their retreat, Atalanta always believed that this guy was definitely still alive, and living quite comfortably.

After all, he helped the king solve a problem, and he would definitely get a lot of rewards. If it went too far, maybe even the legendary king's youngest daughter, whom they had never met before, would marry Zheng Shu.

So Atalanta was a little hesitant. If it was as expected, Zheng Shu and the wandering hunter she was now would no longer be on the same identity level.

Not to mention whether it is appropriate to disturb him for this doll, Atalanta has seen many heroes who have upgraded their status for some reasons, showing disgust and even can't wait to distance themselves from their original teammates.

This is also normal. After all, except for a very small number of divine blood heroes or strong men, most heroes are similar to "powerful street sluts". Otherwise, it would not be a mission to defeat the demon pig, which is obviously a death mission. If you leave it to these people, you will naturally not refuse the opportunity to be a master in the palace.

While hesitating, the expedition team over there had already restarted other operations.

Because the information obtained from people who had encountered the demon pig before was so shocking, the members of the crusade team decided to set up various traps before the investigators arrived, just in case.

The people who joined the expedition team this time were basically heroes who had a certain degree of confidence in hunting.

While waiting for others to set up traps, some heroes who raised hounds or monsters released their "pets" and let them search for traces of monsters.

"ah!!!"

Suddenly, a scream attracted everyone's attention, and a wounded figure ran out of the jungle. It was the person who had been sent out to investigate before.

"What's wrong?!" Meleager rushed forward immediately.

"Devil...Devil Pig!"

It seemed that the injuries suffered were too severe, and the investigator fainted after shouting this sentence.

Several people around Meleager immediately went up to take a closer look and found that his injury was more serious than expected and he would not be able to wake up in a short time.

After discussing with the other members of the expedition team, and after the trap setters had prepared traps around them, Meleager led the group in the direction pointed by the scouts just now.

If they suddenly encounter a magic pig on the road, they plan to attract it here and then hunt it.

Soon, they came to a steep valley covered with thick reeds and poplars, where the previously discovered magic pig was hiding.

Before anyone could take a closer look, the sound of the hound suddenly disturbed the demon pig, causing it to become furious and suddenly jump up from the ground.

It wasn't until the demon pig stood up that everyone realized that it was indeed ridiculously large, with a shoulder height of more than ten meters and a body length of dozens of meters.

And when it ran and rushed towards everyone, it looked like a five or six-meter-high building pressing over it, giving it a full sense of oppression.

Seeing the demonic pig that was crushing countless trees and rushing toward him, Meleager did not lead his men to move immediately. Instead, he asked them to set up their spears to block the impact.

He knew that if he ordered the crowd to retreat in this situation, they would only be chased to death by the demon pig.

After setting up the spears, countless magical rays of light flashed on everyone. Even the spears, which were originally only more than two meters long, transformed into three or four-meter-long light cones under the blessing of magical power. The formation of the entire expedition team was instantly It looks like a glowing hedgehog.

But the Demon Pig's wisdom was not low. When it saw the densely packed light spears in front of it and sensed the danger, it suddenly stopped to avoid them and sprinted diagonally, looking as if it was about to escape.

Seeing that their prey was trying to escape, the heroes no longer listened to Meleager's instructions and hurried after it, throwing spears and darts at it in the process.

But the spears thrown by the heroes couldn't even scratch the tough skin of the demon pig, they could only anger it and make it wild.

The demon pig glared and turned its head again. Because of the excessive anger, some fire even appeared in its eyes. It rushed back and rushed towards the hero. It was immediately knocked down and because it rushed too fast, it broke away from the team and ran to The first few heroes.

Facing the counterattack of such a large demon pig, these heroes had no ability to resist and were trampled to death on the spot.

Seeing this scene, the heroes who had charged forward collectively to snatch the merits froze. Looking at the demon pig charging towards them and others, they immediately changed direction and ran away, wishing that their parents would have two more children. legs.

Looking at this ragtag group of people, Meleager was so angry that he almost gritted his teeth, but there was no one around him except a few guards. Even if Meleager was yelling and commanding, those The heroes who were already in a state of defeat were unwilling to listen.

When she saw that the demon pig was about to rush into the crowd and cause huge casualties, Atalanta, who had been observing the situation on the branch of a tree behind, finally took action.

He took out a bow and arrow from his quiver, bent the bow and nocked an arrow, and drew the bow of the sky in his hand directly. The weapon of God given by Artemis showed its power, even without any magic blessing. It can also automatically convert arrows on the bowstring into pure energy.

Buzz!

Before the bowstring made a sound, the arrow that turned into white light had already hit the demon pig. Unfortunately, the demon pig turned its head at the last moment, and Atalanta only hit its ear.

While the white light tore the huge ears of the demon pig, it also drew a large scar on its body, and the bristles were stained with blood for the first time.

Meleager, who was trying to command the heroes, his eyes lit up when he saw this, and he immediately yelled and told the others the news.

The heroes who originally fled in panic turned around and saw the blood left from the demon pig. Their already collapsed morale immediately recovered. In addition, seeing that it was only a woman who caused all this, they felt that their faces were dull. The heroes immediately clenched the spears in their hands and howled again and launched an attack on the demon pig.

However, the high morale did not mean that the strength gap between the two sides had changed. The spears and darts thrown by the heroes were still bounced off the hard skin of the wild boar.

Someone raised a heavy weapon and tried to injure the demon pig with close combat, but as soon as they got close, the demon pig used its thick log-like teeth to directly turn it into a pulp.

Seeing that the attacks by himself and others were completely ineffective, the morale of this newly gathered mob once again dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon reached the edge of collapse.

Atalanta fired a few more arrows, but the demon pig had already noticed this enemy that could hurt her, so she was always very cautious.

Facing Atalanta's attack, this seemingly extremely large demonic pig showed dexterity that was completely inconsistent with its size, and used unimaginable high-speed movement to dodge the arrows fired at it.

Fortunately, such a moving speed seemed to consume a lot of magic power, so the magic pig didn't use it too much.

Otherwise, if it charged at the heroes forming a formation at such a speed, it would probably only need a few charges to trample all the heroes into pulp.

Meleager looked at the rabble around him and gritted his teeth angrily. He knew that if this continued, it wouldn't be long before this group of people would be defeated again.

Glancing at Atalanta, who was still shooting, he suddenly thought of something. He grabbed a throwing spear from the hands of the person next to him, and held his breath as he aimed at the moving demon pig in the distance.

Just when the demon pig dodged another shot from Atalanta, Meleager took action. Taking advantage of the moment when the demon pig had just stood firm, he threw the spear in his hand.

The demon pig actually discovered Meleager's attack, but naturally chose to ignore these "toothpicks" that could not break through its own defenses, so...

"Hmph!!"

The demon pig let out a sharp howl, and its body twitched involuntarily because of the pain. After it took a few steps back, everyone saw clearly that the wound on the demon pig's body that had just been shot by Atalanta was punctured again. A spear.

Before the demon pig could slow down, Atalanta took action again. This time, the target she shot was no longer the demon pig's vitals, but its abdomen, which was easier to aim at.

A wound appeared on the demon pig's body again, and the surrounding heroes also got inspiration from Meleager's actions just now, and immediately waved their weapons and spears, aiming at the two wounds on the demon pig's body. attack.

Under the combined attack of everyone, the demonic pig showed its bestiality, spinning on the spot angrily, spitting blood and foam from its mouth.

Atalanta continued to shoot continuously, looking for opportunities to leave more wounds on the demon pig's body and expand everyone's attack points.

Meleager saw the opportunity and rushed forward, raising his spear and piercing the pig's neck.

The surrounding heroes also raised their spears to kill, and the demon pig was stabbed like a honeycomb. It struggled for a few times, and finally fell unwillingly in a pool of blood.

"oh!!!"

All the heroes let out deafening cheers to celebrate having killed this powerful enemy. Some even began to imagine how they would brag to show their bravery when they returned to the city.

Meleager climbed onto the demon pig's body, used his sword to cut off the hard skin on the demon pig's head with difficulty, and handed it to Atalanta as a representative trophy.

"Take it, although logically this should belong to me, but I think you should accept this honor more."

When the people around him saw this scene, they immediately stopped cheering, and the atmosphere instantly cooled down.

Suddenly, several people ran out of the crowd and rushed in front of Meleager. They were Meleager's uncles.

"What are you doing?! Why should you give this glory to others? With our leadership, these people can succeed in their crusade!"

After yelling at Meleager for a while, an uncle suddenly took the tough skin of the magic pig from Atalanta's hand and ran away.

"Put down the trophy in your hands, don't even think about getting this prey, it belongs to us!"

Atalanta knew clearly at a glance that this was definitely the kind of palace struggle. In fact, they were not interested in whether they could obtain this honor. What was important to them was that Meleager could not obtain this glory, so they Jump out and look for trouble.

However, Meleager, who was still young at this time and could be considered straightforward, did not think of this. An angry expression appeared on his face. He thought that his uncles had insulted his personality and majesty, so he did not Without hesitation, he drew his sword and slashed at his uncles.

"You robbers!"

"Are you crazy?!"

Just as the two parties were fighting, a roar in the distance suddenly interrupted their nonsense.

Rumble…

The sound that sounded like thunder was approaching quickly from far to near. Before everyone could react, a figure had already appeared in front of them. Then, the sound like thunder came from behind him.

"who is it?!"

"It's you?"

Amidst the noise, Atalanta, who had been unresponsive just now, suddenly widened her eyes.

"Hey, Ta Miao, long time no see."

Zheng Shu put away his God's Armed God, and immediately saw Atalanta standing in the center of the crowd, and waved hello.

"Why are you here?"

"Ah, Lady Artemis, I was really worried about you after I heard that you were going to hunt the magic pig, so I asked me to come over and help you. Because the reward she paid was too much for me to refuse, so I came. "

"Lady Artemis... you really like to worry."

Despite saying this, Atalanta still had a smile on her face.

After a while, she realized that her behavior seemed to be too direct, so she quickly stopped her smile, covered her mouth and coughed twice, and changed the subject.

"Ahem, you're late. We have already dealt with this demonic pig. You can go back now so that Lady Artemis won't be so worried."

"That's right, kid. It's too late if you want to take the credit now. You'd better go back obediently!"

The few people who were originally confronting Meleager didn't know what they thought of, but suddenly their brains twitched and they launched a provocation towards Zheng Shu.

Zheng Shu blinked his eyes and glanced at these few people who could be considered weak because of the fluctuations in magic power on their bodies. He also looked at the trajectory that he had "drawn" in the sky when he flew over just now and had not completely dissipated. He turned to look at Atalanta with a puzzled expression.

"Hey...have these guys always been so brave?"

"Maybe they are a little unclear."

Atalanta also smiled helplessly. She didn't know why these people dared to say this to Zheng Shu. Even Meleager looked at his uncles as if they had seen a ghost. Don't you think they have seen a ghost? Didn't you see this guy flying over just now?

"Well... you are right, they are indeed a little unclear."

Hidden magic lines flashed across Zheng Shu's eyes. He glanced at these guys who dared to get mad at him, and immediately discovered the power full of corruption in their bodies.

"But their problem is easy to deal with, as long as the demon pig is solved."

"What are you talking about? Haven't we already killed the demon pig?" Atalanta was a little confused.

"Magic pig? You mean this little piggy?"

Zheng Shu glanced at the giant thing next to him that was still about the same height as a two-story building after it collapsed, with a strange expression on his face.

"It's not a demon pig. At best, it's just a descendant of that guy."

The writing is very smooth, so I will add more updates.
