Nine Star Burden - Chapter 386
Chapter 386: Black Flame demon
Jiang Xiao’s scheme failed, and the respected bald teacher Hu decided that the last person to reach the top of the mountain would have to stand in a military position for an hour.
Since Jiang Xiao respected his teachers so much, of course, he wanted to give this great opportunity to teacher hunhu to exercise.
The pillars of blessing were not a joke and were filled with Jiang Xiao’s sincerity.
But things didn’t go as he wished, and the pillar of light had no choice but to stop.
That was because le Yue saw a Black Spirit on the top of the mountain.
“There’s a situation! Black Flame demon!” Le Yue’s eyesight was extremely good. He immediately shouted and made everyone stop in their tracks and be on guard.
Jiang Xiao’s expression turned bitter and he thought, why is it such a disgusting creature? Why didn’t he encounter the Black Flame ghost first?
The Black Flame demon’s disgusting STAR technique was the real source of the so-called “suffering of the Black Rock Mountain.”
Jiang Xiao raised his right fist and signaled for the team to stop.
After some thought, Jiang Xiao ordered,”move forward steadily and advance step by step. When will I make the first move?” Hmm, I’ll use silence first. Xiao Sheng, black Starfall, try not to get close to it first and see how the black Starfall works. ”
…
As the king of toxic healers, Jiang Xiao’s first thought was to give him a blessing.
But then he remembered that it was a King of the gold quality, and it was similar to a melee type of creature. It was extremely alert and fast, so it would be difficult for the light beam of blessing to heal it.
If Jiang Xiao could use the Platinum quality blessing to heal her, the huge light pillar might scratch her. However, Jiang Xiao couldn’t do that because there were so many people around. For now, he could only use the silver quality blessing.
In this case, if he wanted to get the first move, using the AoE skill Sound of Silence was clearly more ideal. It could prevent the other party from taking out the ‘Black Flame weapon’, and also smash the other party’s head and feet.
“I want … If you want me to lose … Damage output?” Sun Xiaosheng clenched her fists nervously, as if she had no place to put her hands. Finally, she reached behind her head and pulled at her braids.
It wasn’t that she didn’t know how to deal damage, but she didn’t want to touch the Black Flame demon.
“I’ll give you my blessings. Don’t worry,” Jiang Xiao comforted her.
Since things had come to this, sun Xiaosheng could only bite the bullet.
This party had healers, auras, status effects, and crowd control skills, but they lacked damage output.
Jiang Xiao’s output was his own skills, the Xia family swordsmanship, and the archery skills that he had trained in the Northwest Front line.
Sun Xiaosheng’s Black Starfall was one of the few output star techniques in the team.
Jiang Xiao had once seen this STAR technique during the new year. On the central Street of jiangbin city, Shen Hao, a soldier of the victors Legion, used this STAR technique to continuously shatter the ugly stone statues.
Although it was called the black Starfall, it was only a Black Star that was wrapped inside. It was still blue and white on the outside.
This was also a special attribute of such star techniques.
This included the White Starfall with healing effects and the blue Starfall with star power recovery effects. All of them had different internal colors, but they were all shimmering with blue and white light on the outside.
In other words, when one’s opponent was hit by a Starfall-type STAR technique, it would be difficult to tell whether the enemy was replenishing his health or mana. The enemy might even be having an internal strife …
Starfall-type star techniques were mainly from the Zhongyuan province, and only a small number of them were produced in Yanzhao province. Most of them were of silver quality, and occasionally, there were gold quality star techniques such as the hard-control gray Starfall.
Due to the excellent recovery effect of this STAR technique, the awakened in the surrounding provinces were also willing to acquire such star techniques.
For example, sun Xiaosheng from the capital and Cai Yao from Tianjin had both learned the auxiliary star techniques from the neighboring Zhongyuan province and Yanzhao province.
On the other hand, le Yue, who came from Zhongyuan province, learned from Bell and Cheng Yin from Beijiang province.
Jiang Xiao and the others climbed up step by step, while the Black Flame demon only trembled slightly and stood on the top of the mountain, looking down at everyone.
It was like a king looking down at his subjects.
This Black Flame demon was about 1.8 meters tall and had a human shape. Its entire body was gray and black, and there were some broken characters on its skin.
Its four limbs were extremely slender, and its arms hung down naturally, almost reaching its knees. The muscles on its long legs bulged, filled with explosive power.
The Black Flame demon’s ash-black body blended into the black Rock mountains quite well.
There were three very obvious features on its body that made one’s hair stand on end.
One of them was the gray-black face. The eyes were not normal eyes, and they were burning with pitch-black flames.
The second was its chest, where its heart was actually a burning black Flame!
The existence of such a creature was an eye-opener for everyone. This scene was like a normal human being with his chest hollowed out, but he didn’t die. Instead, a black fire was ignited on the empty part.
The third was its shocked and twisted face!
“How is it, Xiao Sheng?” Jiang Xiao asked.
“More or less,” sun Xiaosheng said with uncertainty.”The black Starfall should be able to hit it.”
Jiang Xiao’s tone was extremely serious.”I don’t want to be ambiguous. I want accurate information. Yes or no.”
Sun Xiaosheng’s eyes widened as she looked at the black king on the peak of the mountain.””A little closer, a little closer … “Ah!” It ran away?”
Before sun Xiaosheng could finish her sentence, the Black Flame demon with black flames burning in its chest flashed and disappeared into the black rocks.
Jiang Xiao’s expression turned a little sullen. Both the gold-ranked Black Flame ghost and the gold-ranked Black Flame demon were extremely powerful hunters.
These creatures had a certain level of intelligence, and in the process of killing their own kind, they had developed a set of hunting skills.
Jiang Xiao didn’t think that the Black Flame demon had run away because it was afraid. It probably had some ideas about his team.
Jiang Xiao thought about it again and again before turning to look at le Yue and saying,””Can you help me carry my military bag?”
Le Yue nodded without hesitation.
In his heart, Jiang Xiao was not only the team leader, but also his only combat power.
Although sun Xiaosheng had star techniques for combat, le Yue did not trust her combat abilities.
And to be honest, le Yue believed that if sun Xiaosheng’s Black Star pendant hit the Black Flame demon, sun Xiaosheng would lose his ability to fight for a short period of time.
Jiang Xiao took out a small black bow and a black quiver from his military backpack.
He carried the black quiver on his back and threw the small black bow. The small bow stretched out on both sides and a regular-sized black bow appeared in his hand.
It was a gift from Xia Yan to Jiang Xiao after he returned home from the Northwest Battlefront during the holiday. Jiang Xiao never thought that he would use “high-tech” one day.
It would be reasonable if Jiang Xiao was carrying a sword on his back. However, everyone, including the bald man, was stunned to see that he was carrying a bow and arrow.
It was like a stone hammer!
This kid was a warrior that had infiltrated the support team?
Why don’t you study how to heal people and how to support them? why do you play with knives and guns every day? How am I going to get married in the future, uh … How do you integrate into the team?
Jiang Xiao placed the sword behind his back, drew an arrow, put it on the bow, placed it under his body, and climbed up.””Le Yue, let us know as soon as you find any trace of the enemy. Xiao Sheng, put aside your role as a support and your battle strategy. We need to attack.”
The bald man behind them stopped fooling around and quietly followed behind the four of them while keeping his eyes fixed on Jiang Xiao.
All of a sudden, the bald man seemed to have sensed something. He turned around and his expression changed slightly.
Immediately after, the bald man quickly deviated from the route and his figure disappeared to the side.
After about 20 seconds of climbing, they heard le Yue’s roar,””Sixo’ clock! Sixo’ clock! Behind you!”
Jiang Xiao was greatly taken aback and hurriedly turned around, only to see a gray-black figure charging towards him rapidly in the dark Rocky Mountains. The black Will-O-Wisp was swaying and extremely terrifying!
Jiang Xiao pulled his bow and put an arrow on it, after which he used his STAR technique!
Platinum quality Sound of Silence!
That ball of ghostly fire was actually snuffed out!
Everyone was shocked. How could the flames in the Black Flame demon’s chest be extinguished?
No, it didn’t seem like it could. The wavering ghostly fire reignited, and the Black Flame demon climbed even faster.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The arrows were shot out one after another. They were covered with dense star power and were extremely fast, like meteors chasing after the moon!
“Hiss …” A painful groan came out of the black Flame demon’s mouth. The arrow had actually pierced deep into its thick claws.
“Fuck.” To their surprise, the one who cursed was not the injured Black Flame demon, but the attacking Jiang Xiao!
There was a sharp pain in Jiang Xiao’s eyes, which was accompanied by a burning pain.
His face instantly turned deathly pale, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead!
Jiang Xiao’s chest heaved up and down violently as he panted heavily. He hurriedly added a brass blessing to himself.
The pain of the Black Rock Mountain was well-deserved!
On the other hand, the Black Flame demon was in a different situation.
It had no choice but to speed up in an attempt to get closer to the Hunter before the sound of silence could throw its astral power into disorder.
However, the Black Flame demon didn’t suffer much from the pain that Sound of Silence had inflicted on it!
There was no need to elaborate on the effect of Platinum’s silence.
It could cause the star power of all the targets in the area to be agitated and chaotic. Because of this, the target would also suffer a painful blow. Pain, weakness, vomiting blood, and death were all possible!
But what was the Black Flame demon’s reaction? He was slowed down and staggered by the sound of silence, but he quickly adjusted his posture, from walking upright to climbing on all fours.
The body that had been thrown to the side stabilized, and the speed that had been reduced was raised again!
From the beginning to the end, the Black Flame demon’s expression didn’t change.
Whether it was before or after it was hit by silent smash, or even after its claws were shot by the arrow, its gray-black face was always twisted and ferocious.
Whether it was physical pain, mental pain, or even the chaos of the star power in its body, it was just a normal state for it.
From the moment it was born,
From the moment its eyes were gouged out by its so-called mother, its chest was pierced, and the will-o ‘-the-wisp was ignited in its eye sockets and heart.
It was constantly suffering from the torture of pain.
The Black Flame demon had a passive STAR technique:
[Black Flame fear: when under attack, share the pain and suffering of the Black Flame with the attacker.]
This was where the pain of the Black Rock Mountain came from.
