Nine Star Burden - Chapter 417
Chapter 417: A late hope
The little burning men running all over the place whimpered. Han Jiangxue used to think that they were annoying, but now, they seemed to represent life and vitality.
Han Jiangxue looked at Jiang Xiao, who was resting on the meteorite in the distance, and said,””Xiaopi.”
Jiang Xiao seemed to be absorbing star power. In the ruins of calamity and shadow, all the laws were the same as those in the real dimensional space. He could use any STAR technique and absorb star power.
“Huh?” Jiang Xiao asked.
“Is there anything you want to tell me that you haven’t had the chance to say?” Han Jiangxue asked softly.
Jiang Xiao looked at Han Jiangxue and asked,’why did you suddenly bring this up?’
“We don’t know if anything happened to the owner of the ruins of calamity and shadow,” Han Jiangxue said after a long silence.
Jiang Xiao was immediately stunned.
“We’ve been here for a long time, and the dimension portal never opened again. The owner of this place must have been through the incident with the judge of fire. Who knows what she has been through?” Han Jiangxue sighed softly.
She continued,”if she’s still alive, there’s no reason why she hasn’t opened the dimension portal for so long. Whether it’s for combat or for living …” Her clothes and shoes are all hanging in the cabinet. I think she should be an orderly person, but she still hasn’t tidied up the space. ”
…
“No,” she said. Jiang Xiao said,”maybe she’s just injured or distracted by something else. If she dies, the space will be gone too.”
Han Jiangxue did not speak again.
Who could be sure of this?
Who knew if the owner of the space had really disappeared after he died?
It was just that after that person died, no one could open it again.
Perhaps, the owner of this space had really met with misfortune, and this space had been left here forever, never to be opened again.
Jiang Xiao stood up and strode towards Han Jiangxue. He knelt down on one knee and pressed his hand on her shoulder.””Don’t let your thoughts run wild. ”
Han Jiangxue lowered her eyes and remained silent.
Jiang Xiao leaned forward slightly and kissed her gently on the cheek.
Han Jiangxue was slightly taken aback and her face instantly turned red. However, she did not take any drastic actions like the last time.
However, Jiang Xiao said gently,”try your best to live. Try your best to live. This is the meaning of our lives.”
Han Jiangxue remained silent and nodded gently.
Jiang Xiao suddenly smiled and said,”but you reminded me. I really have something to tell you.”
Han Jiangxue looked up at Jiang Xiao’s grinning face and suddenly felt much better.””What?”
“Just call me Jiang Xiao from now on,” Jiang Xiao said softly.
No matter what the outcome is, I have come to this world. Perhaps I should leave my real name in your heart.
Han Jiangxue was a little puzzled and asked,’Jiang Xiao? I’ve heard second last call you that before. ”
Jiang Xiao nodded and said,”yes. Jiang as in the Yangtze River. Daybreak as in the dawn.”
“Why did you change your name?” Han Jiangxue asked after matching the words.
Jiang Xiao said softly,”I’m almost an adult. The name xiaopi suits a child.” It’s a deal. You can call me Jiang Xiao from now on. ”
Han Jiangxue nodded silently and agreed.
Jiang Xiao was speechless.
At the same time …
In the southern suburbs of Imperial City, a few stations away from the star Warrior University, there was an elegant residential area.
In an elegantly decorated house, a graceful woman in her mid-thirties was sitting on the bed and staring at the heavy rain outside the window, watching the green trees swaying in the wind and rain.
She was Fang Xingyun, the actual combat teacher of the imperial capital’s star Warriors.
She had experienced countless life and death situations, but her emotional heart had always been the same.
She wasn’t numb to death, so she didn’t have a good time these few days. In her mind, there were always determined faces. They had rushed into the judge’s office and never returned.
That night, she led and protected her classmates to seal off the area around the school, and they waited for the military reinforcements to arrive.
The victors Legion had taken over her work, but she did not feel relaxed at all.
As the holy ground inside the judge’s office collapsed and the door gradually closed, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. However, Fang Xingyun put her hands together and looked through the inner circle that had been sealed off by the victors Legion. She saw the scene of the soldiers, whose clothes were in tatters and who were drenched in blood, escaping.
Every time a person came out, she would match their face with the soldier’s face when they entered.
Unfortunately, when judge Yan finally collapsed and the dimension portal finally closed, she missed 29 people.
Not everyone would be numb to life. There were still people in this world who did not forget their original intentions.
Fang Xingyun’s heart was trembling. 29 soldiers and 29 lives had disappeared together with the spatial door just like that.
Their corpses were wrapped in horsehide, and they died in battle in a foreign land.
That might be the glory of a soldier, but it was not something that Fang Xingyun wanted to see.
That night, she was a little muddled. She and the other teachers appeased the students, organized the students ‘evacuation, stabilized the order, and sealed off the school.
It wasn’t until early in the morning that she was summoned to the school leader’s office and explained the situation. She then wrote a detailed report with slightly trembling hands.
The next day was a dark and gloomy day for Fang Xingyun.
In her depressed mood, she was in a half-awake state until she heard the news report on the TV. She suddenly woke up and hurriedly got up from the bed and ran to the living room barefooted.
On the television, she saw the names and faces of the 29 soldiers.
The faces seemed to have evoked memories in her, and she finally matched them all together.
She thought that she could have a good night’s sleep, but the heroic faces of those people became more and more clear in her sleep.
In the dark night, she propped herself up and leaned against the head of the bed. She sat there for the whole night.
It was dawn.
However, the weather seemed to be against her as well. There was no sunlight, only dark clouds, light rain, and strong winds.
Suddenly, the woman sitting on the bed “came to life.” She gently patted her forehead and rubbed her messy hair. She got up and began to change her clothes. She knew that she would not be able to rest well today.
Surprisingly, she changed into combat clothes, tied her messy hair into a ponytail, and put on a cap. She held an umbrella, made a phone call, and slowly drove away from the residential area.
Instead of going to work, she drove all the way to the West and left the capital.
The destination of the car was a small base in the wilderness outside the Imperial City.
There was already a group of people here to welcome Fang Xingyun’s arrival.
They had already received the notice and knew what teacher Fang Xingyun was here for. She was here to open up the ruins of calamity and shadow!
Why was there such a huge commotion?
Since the ruins of calamity had once been opened right next to the judgment court, it should be filled with meteorites.
However, if something unexpected were to happen …
There might be a small number of Platinum-ranked divine creatures among them. In the worst case scenario, there might be a few troll couples because they were the only ones who didn’t hunt their own people.
As long as there were other species, after staying in the ruins of calamity for three days, like raising a venomous insect, they would always kill their way out to become the strongest.
Even if there were really a few troll couples inside, they would have been hungry for three days and they would meet every now and then in a place of 100 square meters, so they should have the intention to hunt.
They did have a certain level of intelligence, but in the end, they were still Savage star beasts. If they didn’t have a hunting target, they might slaughter their own kind.
No one was willing to have an accident, so the soldiers were on high alert. They all knew about the news that had been spreading around recently, and they knew what kind of attitude they should use to deal with the creatures from the judge of fire.
In this large group of soldiers, there were a few men and women dressed in ordinary clothes. In the middle was a white-haired old man, but he was in good spirits.
This group of people had a different temperament from the soldiers. They looked like scholars.
Yes, although this place was heavily guarded by soldiers, it wasn’t a military camp, but a Star Beast Research Institute.
After passing through layers of checkpoints, Fang Xingyun changed into a military vehicle and arrived at an empty space in the middle of the base.
When Fang Xingyun saw a group of people waiting for her, she hurriedly alighted from the car. Ignoring the rain that was pouring on her, she quickly walked up to the white-haired old man and apologized,””Inspector Wu, I can’t believe you came to welcome me personally …”
The Deputy Director, Wu Kaixuan, laughed and said,””I heard that teacher Fang was going to send over the precious Star Beast from the judge of fire, so I came to take a look. It’s no big deal.”
Fang Xingyun appeared slightly embarrassed.”It’s only a possibility. If there’s no astral beast inside, I’ll have to disappoint Superintendent Wu. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
Wu Kaixuan replied,[Mr. Fang, you’re being too serious. It’s our honor that you thought of us first.] You’ve contributed a lot of precious live star beasts to us over the years. You’ve made a huge contribution to our Institute, to the entire country. We should be thanking you. ”
Fang Xingyun’s condition was not good, so she stopped exchanging pleasantries. She nodded, smiled, and said,””If you’re ready, I’ll open the ruins of calamity now.”
Deputy Director Wu Kaixuan turned to look at the soldier Captain. After getting an affirmative answer, he said,””Sorry to trouble you, teacher Fang.”
A soldier walked over and brought Fang Xingyun to the center of the empty field.
The four special combat squads were ready.
Fang Xingyun nodded at the few soldiers and opened up the ruins of calamity with one hand.
The soldiers brought all kinds of equipment and entered in a single file. The first thing they had to do was to ensure that everything was settled within the space and not allow any possible star beasts to enter earth and wreak havoc.
When the soldiers entered, they were dumbfounded.
With all kinds of star photography skills and equipment, they found that the place had been lit up, and there were little firemen running all over the ground …
They whimpered like a group of naughty children who had gone crazy from playing.
The soldiers were naturally knowledgeable.
He was puzzled in his heart. This is … A STAR technique developed by a pyrotechnician?
Wasn’t Mr. Fang right next to the dimension portal that judge Yan opened?
Wasn’t the inferno master Gu a creature from the firesource mountain range next door? Why did they switch channels?
Immediately after, a soldier’s pupils contracted slightly!
He actually saw two people who had once appeared on the death list!
The champion student, Han Jiangxue? The champion student, Jiang xiaopi?
Everyone, including Fang Xingyun, was waiting patiently outside.
And after a dozen seconds …
Fang Xingyun suddenly covered her mouth with one hand. She was so agitated that her eyes instantly turned red.
She saw a cold and beautiful figure, wearing her windbreaker and shoes, walking out under the escort of the soldiers.
Behind the haughty girl, a boy who was also wrapped in a woman’s windbreaker carefully walked out.
They … He didn’t die?
They were still alive?
Had he been living in his own ruins?
The whole world thought they were dead, but they were alive and standing in front of them.
Fang Xingyun could imagine what kind of intense battle they had gone through and what kind of serious physical and mental trauma they had suffered when they escaped from judge Yan …
But look at their current state.
Their faces were a little dirty, and their clothes were wrinkled and dusty, making them look bad.
However, they were full of spirit, and their eyes were bright as they looked at the world.
Obviously,
They were trying their best to survive.
So, heroes don’t die, right?
So, the 29 soldiers who disappeared with the spatial door could also be in some space, in some corner, surviving tenaciously, right?
For the past few days, Fang Xingyun’s emotions had been extremely unstable. At this moment, she finally could not hold it in anymore. She covered her reddened eyes with one hand and mumbled in a low voice,””Thank you, thank you …”
