Nine Star Burden - Chapter 440
Chapter 440: The star of Beijiang
Jiang Xiao could feel second last’s domineering aura. It was 176 kilometers, and it was only a straight-line distance that did not include the distance of climbing mountains and going around the lake.
What made the process difficult was that the temperature in the volcanic dimensional space was very high. Even though he was wearing a mask, Jiang Xiao could still feel the heat waves.
Running here for a long time at high speed was indeed not something that a human should suffer.
What was even more infuriating was that in the sky behind him, there was a Pegasus that was emitting a cold fog and following Jiang Xiao at a moderate distance. The big cat on it was enjoying the “air conditioner” and was so comfortable that it had already dozed off.
Fortunately, a lava Ghoul witch managed to save Jiang Xiao.
It led a group of lava ghouls and launched an attack on Jiang Xiao while shouting.
Xiaoxiao, who was flying in the sky behind him, seemed to have received an order from its owner to stop opening up a path for Jiang Xiao. Instead, it hovered in the sky and watched Jiang Xiao kill all the enemies below.
After running for a long time, Jiang Xiao’s star power had been fully restored, and he had a bold idea.
Buzzzzzz!
Another Jiang Xiao suddenly appeared!
…
Bait!
However, he was no longer the bait in the past, and his function was no longer to disrupt the enemy’s vision and hearing, or to distract the enemy’s attention.
Jiang Xiao, the decoy, has the ability to fight independently!
The decoy Jiang Xiao was dressed in the same equipment as Jiang Xiao himself, and even the giant steel sword looked exactly like him. (Note: Chapter 436: no toothbrush in the bait’s hand plot has been revised)
The clothes on the decoy Jiang Xiao, as well as the weapons in his hands, were all transformed by star power, which was exactly the same as the original Jiang Xiao. However, the weapons transformed by star power would turn into Starlight and dissipate once they left his body.
It didn’t matter, as long as he didn’t let go!
The decoy, Jiang Xiao, was holding onto the giant sword that was transformed from star power. He was like a tiger that had entered a flock of sheep together with the original Jiang Xiao, extremely ferocious!
Jiang Xiao also stepped on the Halo of nostalgia. Under the blessing of dawn, the time scale lit up under the feet of the two “people” and rotated rapidly, giving off a mysterious dark golden color.
For the first time, Jiang Xiao shared his senses to the maximum and also felt the magical feeling of telepathy.
The two of them seemed to be sharing the same consciousness, but they each had their own brain to process information. There was no need to communicate, and their tacit understanding was one hundred percent. Their cooperation was flawless, and they killed each other to their hearts ‘content!
“Waa … I’m too strong, aren’t I?” Jiang Xiao and Jiang Xiao, the decoy, were interacting madly!
If you block this bursting flames, I’ll go up and stab it!
You prepare the blade, I’ll light it up and deliver it home!
Even the big cat that was dozing off in the sky opened its eyes and looked at the battlefield below with interest.
Jiang Xiao’s giant sword glowed with green light and brushed against a lava Ghoul that was charging at him.
The lava Ghoul flew backward with a Swoosh and crashed into the back of Jiang Xiao, who turned around and slashed without hesitation.
This process was extremely smooth and natural, which was pleasing to the eye.
What kind of teammates could have such tacit understanding without any communication?
I’ll cooperate with myself!
Are you scared?
“Yes.” Second last nodded in satisfaction. She had great trust in Jiang Xiao’s swordsmanship and was willing to admit that Jiang Xiao’s cold weapon skills were much better than hers in terms of skill level.
On the other hand, Jiang Xiao had lost to second last again and again, and without a doubt, it was all because of his physical fitness.
He was inferior to second last in terms of speed, strength, and reflexes. Even if he had a thousand skills, second last would be able to defeat him with just one punch.
He was already an experienced master when it came to saber techniques. After more than two months of hard work, he did not go to waste. The bait was focused on practicing his swordsmanship on Mount nocturnal disaster. At this moment, Jiang Xiao’s Xia family swordsmanship had already reached gold quality level 5.
Jiang Xiao seemed to have hit a bottleneck again in the process of upgrading from Level 5 to Level 6.
After killing for a while, the star power in Jiang Xiao’s body was almost filled to the brim with nostalgia. At the same time, his originally exhausted body was rejuvenated and he was in an extremely good state.
When more than 20 lava ghouls were slaughtered, only six were left. They had ugly mouths and were screaming loudly as they quickly scattered in all directions.
Only the lava Ghoul witch was left behind, trying its best to throw Bell.
Jiang Xiao was confident that he could use his star power to force the brass quality white ghouls and white Ghoul witches to level up. However, as a silver quality lava Ghoul witch in the Nebula stage, Jiang Xiao didn’t seem to be qualified.
Jiang Xiao used counter-current light and gave it a try. However, the lava Ghoul witch only stopped and looked at Jiang Xiao in shock. Although it had stopped throwing Bell for the time being, it did not seem to have any intention of upgrading.
Jiang Xiao had no choice but to throw a ray of counter-current light into the sky and hang it on the big cat that was watching the show quietly. He then connected another ray of counter-current light to the lava Ghoul witch.
The lava Ghoul witch was extremely comfortable now and was roaring loudly while trembling all over. If Jiang Xiao didn’t know that it was crossing realms and enjoying the feeling of being washed by a massive amount of star power …
Jiang Xiao might even think that it was going to explode and die!
The lava Ghoul witch’s loud roar did not disappear for a long time, and the heart-wrenching sound reverberated in the sky.
More than ten seconds later, second last’s voice was suddenly heard from the invisible earphones.””Someone’s coming!”
Jiang Xiao got a great shock and hurriedly activated the ruins of calamity and shadow, after which he kicked the trembling lava Ghoul witch into it. Jiang Xiao then rushed into the cave as bait.
The ruins of calamity quickly closed.
The counter-current light disappeared without a trace and the star power in Jiang Xiao’s body disappeared instantly. He had consumed 90% of it!
However, as long as the star power was not overexerted, it would not cause any harm to Jiang Xiao’s body.
Jiang Xiao placed the blade behind his back and skillfully pulled out the dagger from the side of his leg. He then tore the dark red skin of the lava Ghoul and continuously absorbed star power from it. At the same time, he also snatched the star bead in the lava Ghoul’s head.
Sharpening a knife will not delay the work of cutting wood.
Nostalgia and counter-current light were fundamentally different. It simply plundered the vitality and star power of the enemy. Even if the other party died, the remaining star power in his body would still provide nutrients for Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao didn’t dare to throw counter-current light at a corpse. Perhaps he could obtain star power from it, but his vitality would also flow to the corpse rapidly.
“Oh my God!” A Star Warrior … No, they should be called the awakened. The volcano did not belong to the advanced dimensional space. Star Warriors in the Galaxy stage were not allowed to enter it to train. Only the awakened below the Nebula stage could enter.
“Oh my God,” a dialect-filled exclamation attracted Jiang Xiao’s attention. He turned around and realized that it was a standard group of four, three adults and one teenager.
The one who screamed was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She looked up at the White Horse flying in the sky and the ice mist pouring down. Stars even appeared in the eyes of the middle-aged woman!
What kind of divine pet was this?
It was simply a perfect match for entering a hot volcano to train!
“Mom, what’s that?” The only child in the group of four looked up at the dream-like Pegasus.”It’s not a creature from a volcano, is it?”
“Honey, what pet is this? it’s so beautiful!” The middle-aged woman hurriedly asked.
In front, his father was also at a loss. Although he knew nothing about such a magical creature, he knew that the other party was a Star Warrior when he saw the person on the Pegasus. He said,””Be polite. We can’t afford to offend such a powerful person.”
The woman said with dissatisfaction,”who asked you to say that? who would be so free to stir up trouble everywhere?” Go and ask her what kind of Star Beast this is. Aiya, what are you standing there for? hurry up and go. ”
“Mu Yi.”
The young man looked at the other middle-aged man and said,””What’s wrong, third uncle?”
The man pointed at the battlefield in the distance and said,””Look who’s that?”
The young man named mu Yi finally shifted his gaze away from the White Mountain and Snow feathers and looked into the distance at the young man harvesting star beads on the battlefield.
“That is … That was … Jiang xiaopi?” Mu Yi widened his eyes and asked in disbelief,”is that Jiang xiaopi?!”
The couple also turned their attention to the young man on the battlefield in the distance, and they were both stunned.
Mu Yi quickly ran over.
“Zhu Yi!” The woman exclaimed in shock, but it was already too late to stop him. Her son had already run down the hill and was no longer bothered by the magical Pegasus. He ran straight towards Jiang Xiao with a burning gaze, just like a crazy fan.
In the sky, second last watched everything quietly without saying anything.
After Jiang Xiao harvested the star beads, he turned around and looked at the little fellow curiously.
Although it was called a little guy, it was still 175 cm tall. It looked very thin and weak, and the nutrients it had absorbed were probably all in its height.
“You, you … Hello, Jiang xiaopi!” Mu Yi ran towards Jiang Xiao and took off his Dust Mask.
The dust-proof mask was specially made to be transparent in order to ensure the vision of the trainees. Hence, Jiang Xiao had already seen the other party’s face clearly.
However, as soon as the mask was removed, the child gave off a different vibe. Jiang Xiao was surprised to find that the child also had a round head.
Uh … Round-cut hair?
To Jiang Xiao’s surprise, the child actually unzipped his clothes and undid his dust-proof suit.
The short-sleeved shirt inside had a picture of a Viking dog printed on the chest. However, due to the high temperature, his inner clothes were all wet.
“You’re my idol!” Mu Yi said excitedly.
“Uh …” Jiang Xiao scratched his head and said,”put it on.”
Mu Yi didn’t obediently put on the dust-proof suit for training, but continued to take it off.””Look at my loose shorts.”
Jiang Xiao nodded repeatedly.”I know, I know. Don’t take it off. Don’t take it off …”
The buzz-cut mu Yi clenched his fists and his face was flushed. It was unknown whether it was from the heat or excitement.”I wanted to come in wearing flip-flops, but my mother wouldn’t let me!”
Jiang Xiao was speechless.
Behind him, a few adult trainees followed and greeted Jiang Xiao while apologizing for their children’s rashness.
For the first time, Jiang Xiao felt like an “idol.” He seemed to have gained a large number of fans as he became more and more famous. They seemed to be able to imitate Jiang Xiao’s dressing, words, and actions.
All of a sudden, Jiang Xiao felt a sense of responsibility.
Jiang Xiao felt rather helpless.”You can like anyone. Why do you like me?” he asked.
The hidden meaning of this sentence was … I’m such a cheeky person, I’m not the type of high-quality idol.
Besides, I’m wearing flip-flops in college. Didn’t I look good in my school uniform and sneakers in high school? And when have you ever seen me wearing flip-flops during training? Wasn’t this nonsense?
I’ve been wearing the wasteland reclaimers ‘uniform and military boots running in the field for half a semester. Why don’t you learn the good stuff?
“I don’t care!” Mu Yi shouted excitedly.”I like you! I want to become someone like you! The star of Beijiang!”
Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.
The star of Beijiang?
What kind of immortal title was this?
Well, that’s fine too. It sounds better than ‘the flower of the northern River’.
