Nine Star Burden - Chapter 228

Chapter 228: Screw Him

Just as Wei Zhi was thinking about it, something peculiar happened in front!

An ugly stone monster with extremely gray skin suddenly changed its method of attack. It seemed to have realized that there were strong enemies surrounding it. It was no longer obsessed with searching for prey and destroying houses. Instead, it howled at the sky and spit out some black fog.

Under the turmoil, the black fog flew outwards and was smashed into a storefront that had already been destroyed. It burst all of a sudden and the black fog began to get thicker and thicker.

In the beginning, no one knew what Star Technique the black fog was and what its functions were. Everyone only realized how serious the problem was when the people held captive in the store were crying and fleeing while the blood vessels in their necks and faces gradually became black and they began to spit out white foam before falling to the ground and losing consciousness.

After the special and hideous stone monster with extremely gray skin spat out the ball of black fog, four other hideous stone monsters also began to open their big mouths and spit out balls of black fog at their surroundings.

“Victors Legion, Middle Street Team No.3, Captain Wei Zhi.” Wei Zhi followed the direction of the light and looked into the apparel store. He then exclaimed, “The few of you are temporarily recruited!”

Upon hearing his words, Xia Yan threw out a Flame Arc immediately without hesitation or uttering another word.

The Flame Arc slid across the long stone path and charged towards a Stone Monster. To the slight horror of everyone, even the powerful Flame Arc couldn’t sever the hideous Stone Monster and simply caused it to leave behind stone debris.

If it’s within my means, I would, of course, be willing to help you.

Jiang Xiao thought to himself. With the permission of the captain of the Victors Legion, Jiang Xiao and his teammates could use their Star Techniques freely.

Jiang Xiao immediately activated Nostalgia and released the halo.

The Gold Quality Nostalgia was not to be taken lightly. It had a radius of 40 meters! Even if Jiang Xiao was standing in front of the display cabinet of the store, he would still be able to reach Wei Zhi and Shen Hao standing in the middle of the stone path.

“Wow! What’s that!?!”

“What’s that!?!”

“Go away. Hurry and leave.”

The people hiding in the store were all flabbergasted and not all of them understood Star Techniques. Hence, as ordinary people, they were extremely astonished when they saw the golden halo that suddenly appeared beneath their feet.

At the next moment, the halo at their feet disappeared, and Jiang Xiao lit up the time scale at the feet of his teammates and the members of the Victors Legion.

Shen Hao was comfortable!

He was nursed by the great healer.

Due to the fact that his Star Technique “Starfall” was extremely lethal, Wei Zhi continuously drove several Gray-white Scepters into the ground one after another in order to ensure that he was sustained.

Jiang Xiao also ran out of the store, walked into the area covered by the Gray-white Scepter, and connected himself to Shen Hao via the Counter-current Light. The halo of Nostalgia was also at his feet.

He was recovering, sharing and absorbing… there was really everything he wanted.

Wei Zhi did not idle about either. Although he was a Medical Awakened, he also had a series of Rules Awakened Star Techniques.

He waved his hand and threw out a Bursting Flames which landed on the hideous stone monster and exploded. It actually wasn’t much, but as the Bursting Flames exploded, the total amount of Star Power and vitality that was delivered back to his body gave Wei Zhi a huge shock!

What kind of witchcraft is this!?!

Is this still the Silver Quality Nostalgia that I used to know!?!

Jiang Xiao quickly ran towards the corpse of the hideous monster and yelled, “Give me a weapon.”

To Jiang Xiao’s surprise, Han Jiangxue actually threw him his old friend, the wooden giant sword.

Since the better sword had been given to Xia Yan, Jiang Xiao could only use the one that others didn’t want.

Jiang Xiao frantically stabbed the corpse of the ugly stone monster with the giant sword, only to smell a pungent odor. He thought, This corpse actually decayed so quickly? It even released black fog to the surroundings?

Jiang Xiao panicked and thought about the scene of everyone spitting out white foam and passing out.

He frantically gave himself another Blessing. In order to absorb Star Power, he had no choice but to stand there and bear with the erosion of the fog.

So… Blessing can detoxify?

It should be omnipotent?

While Jiang Xiao was thinking to himself, Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan were coordinating rather well with each other. One of them was blowing some wind while the other was in charge of blasting. After several Flame Arcs, the ground was covered in gravel.

The formidable ones in the crowd were also showing their powers. The hideous stone monsters continuously pouring out of the overlapping layers of space had finally been restrained.

However, a problem surfaced. The ugly stone monsters swarming out were like a source of pollution, continuously emitting the faint black fog to the surroundings while decomposing rapidly.

“Go, go!” Wei Zhi ordered loudly.

Shen Hao was dizzy, but his Star Power allowed him to maintain his balance. However, the vitality was overflowing.

“Huh? Huh?” Shen Hao spluttered like a mentally retarded person. He was dizzy and dazed and did not react for a long time.

Jiang Xiao couldn’t help him, for fear that he would cause the Victors Legion to get the wrong idea…

Unfortunately, at the current stage, the Counter-current Light could only connect the user to another target, not more than that.

Wei Zhi was slightly stunned and he froze for a moment, but he soon found that he had a solution. He reacted quickly and whipped out a vine whip from the ground, which then coiled around Shen Hao’s ankle and propelled him into the sky.

“You mustn’t back out at the last minute!” Wei Zhi exclaimed.

Shen Hao was dumbfounded. He had no idea that Wei Zhi had misunderstood him. Shen Hao was stuck in a trance at the moment and couldn’t hear clearly or understand Wei Zhi’s words.

The truth proved that Jiang Xiao wasn’t the type to only be fierce with his teammates.

As a real toxic healer, he would be toxic wherever he went!

“Go in! Block them inside the Space Door. We can’t afford to wait for the Wasteland Reclaimers,” Wei Zhi yelled.

It would be less terrible if a Dimensional Space was opened in a certain area in the wilderness because the Victors Legion would control the situation and keep everything in line before the Wasteland Reclaimers took over.

However, this Dimensional Space opened abruptly in the prosperous commercial district of Jiangbin City. Hence, it could not be developed and utilized at all. Besides, it would definitely be closed as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would result in a huge impact on Jiangbin City.

Han Jiangxue was surprised to hear Wei Zhi’s words.

She was willing to help the soldiers, but it had to be within her means to. It would be fine if they were on Earth, but they actually had to go into the Dimensional Space?

The battle strategy of the captain was correct. By trapping the destructive creatures in the Space Door, they would reduce pollution to human cities and protect the people.

The captain was also worthy of being a soldier because he wasn’t afraid of death at all. Han Jiangxue was willing to respect him, but he also recruited their team previously.

It was not that Jiang Xiao’s team definitely had to go in and help them, but at this juncture, there would be trouble regardless of whether they entered or not.

As soon as Wei Zhi finished speaking, the murderous and menacing Yan Zebin and Ye Ying had already rushed into the Space Door.

While dashing forwards, Wei Zhi turned to look at Jiang Xiao.

Be it Goddess Xue or Goddess Yan, neither of them was as functional as Jiang Xiao at this moment!

This team did not lack output. They lacked a healer and sustained attacks!

“We’ll go ahead and open up the path! You guys just have to stand at the door! Kids, help us once and the Victors Legion, the Middle Street Team No.3, and all the Star Warriors Armed Police Force on this street will owe you a favor!” At the instant that Wei Zhi finished speaking, he and Shen Hao disappeared in the Space Door.

Even if Jiang Xiao were to run away this instant, no one would care about him, perhaps because of trust.

Behind Wei Zhi was a policeman from the Star Warriors Armed Police Force who had dashed in. Compared to the Victors Legion, the Star Warriors Armed Police Force was much faster. They were the main force that evacuated the masses. In just a few minutes, they managed to save numerous lives.

Xia Yan pursed her lips and muttered, “It’s already been a few minutes, but the Victors Legion has yet to come. There are so many Star Warrior policemen here, but they insist on getting Xiaopi to help him.”

Han Jiangxue took a deep breath and sighed before saying, “Indeed, Xiaopi has spoiled you to the extent that you’ve forgotten about how rare Medical Awakened are. Look at the captain of the Victors Legion. He’s also a Medical Awakened. But compare his exertion of Star Techniques to Xiaopi.”

Xia Yan was astonished. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that that was really the case.

The talented Han Jiangxue had 30 star slots, and the similarly talented Xia Yan also had 28 star slots. Whenever they were introduced, they would attract everyone’s attention and people would cheer for them.

Both of them had output and control Star Techniques. Amongst those of the same age, they were undoubtedly the elites.

However, what was actually going on?

Did the captain of the Victors Legion look at them?

Not at all!

The captain immediately proceeded to beg Jiang Xiao, who had only nine star slots…

Xia Yan suddenly realized that she was with Jiang Xiao every day, and thus, had gotten used to being healed by him. Over time, she forgot about how rare and precious Jiang Xiao was.

At this time, Jiang Xiao’s combination of Star Techniques was already extremely excellent. The function of every Star Technique was rather specialized and strong…

Just as Xia Yan was thinking, Wei Zhi came out of the overlapping Space Door and nodded at Jiang Xiao. “Keep alert at the door and leave whenever the situation goes awry. I’m here to testify that I recruited you. If you do well in assisting the Victors Legion in overcoming the crisis, you’ll probably be awarded and given bonus points for the college entrance examination in recognition of your efforts.”

“Uh…” Jiang Xiao scratched his head. Favors, rewards, and bonus points didn’t matter to him. He just couldn’t stand seeing the group of ugly stone monsters invading his home.

Damn it, screw him!
