Nine Star Burden - Chapter 434
Chapter 434: Little Jiu, little Jiu
“Little Jiu, little Jiu, are you a shield warrior or a melee fighter?”
“Little Jiu, little Jiu, why did you come to participate in the night guard training?”
“Little nine, little nine, do you have a girlfriend?”
“Little nine, little …” Yin NI’s words came to an abrupt end. Her eyes widened slightly, and she abruptly turned her head to look out of the tent.
Outside the tent, there was a dark figure standing there silently. No one knew how long she had been standing there.
She was the person Yin ni was most afraid of, second last!
Due to second last’s huge figure, only half of her body was exposed as she stood at the entrance of the tent. Looking out from the inside, she looked like a headless corpse in the dark night.
Yin NI’s face instantly turned pale. She hurriedly tried to escape, only to realize that there was only one exit to the tent, and it was blocked by that terrifying person.
“Little nine, little nine … Save, save me. ” Yin NI’s voice trembled slightly. She was at a loss and did not know what to do.
Jiang Xiao handed the dagger to her silently.
…
Yin ni was speechless.
What was the meaning of this?
Little Jiu wants me to kill my way out?
Waa … This person … So strong!
He’s encouraging me to betray my master!
The problem is that I can’t beat her! Master can crush me with one hand!
“Get lost,” he said. Second last’s hoarse voice could be heard from outside the tent.
Yin ni was so frightened that she trembled. She didn’t dare to make a sound and crawled out with her head lowered.
A few days ago, she had just said that her master didn’t scold people. Today, she was being scolded.
Although it was a simple word, it made Yin ni feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave. When Yin ni crawled away from her, she was even a little afraid that her master would kill her, so she immediately killed her.
The sinister and violent aura had indeed left a serious psychological shadow in Yin NI’s heart.
Jiang Xiao didn’t say anything. He was an apprentice and wasn’t qualified to guide his master. Second last might have been very displeased with what that little girl had done recently.
Second last stood outside the tent for a long time and fixed her gaze on Yin ni. After seeing that Yin nI had left for her duty, she stared at her for a while before bending down and entering the tent.
Jiang Xiao lifted his mask and threw the light blue candy into his mouth. It melted in his mouth and was filled with a fresh fruity flavor.
While eating the candy, Jiang Xiao looked at second last, who was sitting in front of him, and he was very sure that the candy was lemon-flavored.
I got lemons, what about you?
“Go to a further place to keep watch until you can’t hear anything.” Second last said in a hoarse voice.
Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment before he realized that second last was probably talking to Yin ni.
The dimensional space of Mount nocturnal disaster was not as terrifying as its name suggested.
In fact, most of the creatures here were silver-tier, and their range of activity was mostly in the underground caves.
That was why Jiang Xiao dared to leave the team and practice alone in the vast wilderness. That was why second last dared to let Yin ni leave the camp alone.
Previously, Yin nI had told Fei Xue that the level of the creatures here wasn’t high, so it wasn’t dangerous. She was puzzled as to when she would be able to enter the next stage of cultivation.
Second last had brought them to Mount nocturnal disaster mainly to train their mental fortitude. At the same time, she could also practice and train with Jiang Xiao in peace.
“You’ll be on vacation in two months. ” Second last said calmly.
Jiang Xiao nodded. The first half of the semester in University was about four months long. Now that the exam week in Beijing had been released, Jiang Xiao’s first half of the semester would end in less than two months.
To Jiang Xiao, the first half of his freshman year was colorful.
Being imprisoned at the start of the school term, the suffering at the Black Rock Mountain, the World Cup team crisis, the 923 judge incident, and the apprentice wasteland reclamation competition.
So far, Jiang Xiao especially hoped that his learning and training career could be stable for a while.
I’ve received news about the hibiscus star bead that you wanted. I’ll give it to you after your vacation.” Second last said.
“Thank you,” Jiang Xiao said in joy.
Second last stretched out her palm and pressed it gently on Jiang Xiao’s head, staring at him quietly with her eyes full of admiration.
Her admiration for Jiang Xiao grew day by day, and every time she saw him training hard, second last’s admiration for him would increase.
Not everyone had such perseverance and determination, and not everyone could endure such pain and suffering.
Second last asked,”what are the arrangements for the holiday?”
Jiang Xiao thought for a while and said,”I’m planning to go to the snowfield and continue to plant star beads. Diamond Green glow and diamond endurance will make me an invincible player in the world Cup.”
Second last said in a hoarse voice,”it will also make you invincible.”
Jiang Xiao was rather pleased to be praised by second last, the king of the Galaxy.
He scratched his head in embarrassment, but he had forgotten that her hand was still on it. He simply took her hand down and played with her fingers, imagining her fingers as a big cat’s soft paw pad.
Jiang Xiao asked,”what about you? Is he still here?”
Second last was speechless.
Jiang Xiao held his breath for a moment and could clearly sense second last’s surprise and dissatisfaction.
Jiang Xiao thought about it and hurriedly said,””Don’t misunderstand, I’ll still follow you. My main body will go to the snowfield. My current total star power is still okay and I can pour star beads on my own. What I meant just now was that we should still practice here?”
Second last said,”I’ll take you to the snowfield. I’ll be worried if you go alone.”
Jiang Xiao said helplessly,”it’s the lowest-level snowfield. What’s there to worry about?”
“I said, I want to take you there,” second last said in a harsher tone.
“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll go.” Jiang Xiao said continuously and comforted the beast in front of him softly.
After a long while, Jiang Xiao felt that second last had returned to normal and asked weakly,””Then what about your two disciples? Disband? You’re also on vacation?”
Second last got up slowly and said,””Stay here. If you can’t stand it, leave.”
Second last bent down and walked out of the tent. She stood at the door, stretched her body, and said in a hoarse voice,””And I won’t tell them how long we’ll be gone.”
Jiang Xiao had a strange expression on his face and he looked at the headless corpse outside the tent, feeling a little terrified.
This woman was so cruel!
If he told the two apprentices that they would return to Mount nocturnal disaster after two months, at least the two apprentices would have some hope.
But if he didn’t tell these two children, what kind of torment would it be for the apprentices?
Who would have known that master would be out for a day? A year? Or ten years? Or even to forget them forever in this dark and sunless Mount nocturnal disaster?
Was there any meaning to this? Would they be able to obtain any results?
Second last said,”treat it as a test for them. If they’re still around when we return, we’ll enter the next stage. We’ll head underground.”
“Uh,” Jiang Xiao was slightly stunned, for he knew what it meant.
The holy ground of Mount Evernight was underground, and most of the night guards there had been guarding underground.
It was darker, sweltering, and the space was narrow.
Did people think that the dark and lonely Mount nocturnal disaster was bitter enough?
When they headed underground, they would definitely miss the vast starry sky, the fresh air, and the boundless wilderness.
A house with or without windows would make a huge difference. Not to mention the difference between a “deep mine” and a “vast world”.
The night guard suffered this kind of pain and endured this kind of sin.
Jiang Xiao could clearly see that the apprentices that second last brought along during the night Watch would first have to train their mental fortitude and emphasize on their spiritual will and psychological quality.
As for the apprentices, they trained their bodies, their battle tactics, and their skills in charging and breaking through enemy lines …
“Sigh …” Jiang Xiao sighed in his heart. There were still two months left before the end of his freshman year and two more months before the winter break. In that case, poor Yin ni and Fei Xue would have to stay here for another four months!
Besides, they couldn’t go out yet. After the holiday and second last returned, they would have to go deep into the cave and they didn’t know how long they would have to stay there before they could be considered real night watchers.
A few hours later, Jiang Xiao suddenly heard a soft sound while he was sleeping.
“Shh~”
Jiang Xiao opened his eyes abruptly and stared dumbfoundedly at the slim figure that was walking in.
Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded behind the mask.
This girl was really bold!
Don’t you remember the pain? He actually dared to come?
“Little Jiu, little Jiu, don’t sleep anymore. Play with me and I’ll give you candy.”
“Little nine, little nine, you’re actually a lighchaser. You’re so powerful!”
“Little Jiu, little Jiu, do you look good?”
“Little Jiu, little Jiu, at least respond. Do you really dislike talking to me that much? If you don’t say anything, I’m leaving, okay?”
Yin ni squatted down in front of Jiang Xiao with her beautiful eyes wide open. She was playing with her fingers while looking down at Jiang Xiao curiously.
She didn’t leave even after she said so and got into a stance, waiting for Jiang Xiao to speak.
Jiang Xiao sat cross-legged on the ground and looked up. Behind the mask, he stared at Yin ni silently and remained silent.
The two of them just stared at each other, and the atmosphere in the tent became extremely strange.
Very good!
Next, it was time to see who had a longer lifespan!
