Nine Star Burden - Chapter 613
Chapter 613: Spending money to change fate?
Jiang Xiao followed second last and walked towards the forest, looking rather depressed.
The reason?
Of course, it was because the probability of successfully baiting Jiang Xiao to acquire a STAR technique in the ruins of calamity and shadows was extremely low.
Jiang Xiao was on the verge of tears. Out of the 34 Ghost Tiger star beads, Jiang Xiao had already absorbed 14 of them and only managed to acquire a silver quality STAR technique, swiftness.
“Ha …. Jiang Xiao took a deep breath. With the shattering of the 14th star bead, he finally gained some “agility.” If he didn’t do it now, he would really go crazy.
The Phantom Tiger had four star techniques-perception, sharpness, swiftness, and battle armor.
Apart from the gold quality Battlesuit, the other three were of silver quality, and perception and swiftness were both very good star techniques.
[Agility: allows your movements to be faster and your reactions to be more agile.] A passive skill did not need to be activated. (Silver)
Now, the decoy Jiang Xiao had brass green glow, brass endurance, and silver agility. Was it just beginning to take shape?
Come on, he was still far from that …
“Do you see that?” Second last stopped and suddenly said,”
“What?” Jiang Xiao hurriedly came back to his senses and tilted his head. He peeked out from behind second last and saw a gray-white fox at the edge of the forest in the distance.
Even though it was a summer night in this dimensional space, the vast Galaxy above their heads allowed them to have high visibility.
As for the grey-white fox, its shape was similar to the Foxes on earth, but its entire body was in a grey-white mist shape, which was particularly strange!
Especially that pair of eyes, they were shimmering with a cold star-like luster. It was cold and slightly shimmering, and it was hard to say whether this scene was beautiful or terrifying.
Second last said,”it has a gold quality STAR technique, roar of fear. It can scare the enemy away. If you’re surrounded and attacked in the upper dimension, this might be a good star technique.”
Jiang Xiao nodded secretly and said,”that’s true. However, my bait’s qualifications are too poor. It’s difficult to acquire gold quality star techniques. You have to be mentally prepared.”
Second last said,”it’ll be better if you can absorb it. If you can ‘t, it’s not in the list of star techniques in our plan.”
“Yes, I’ll go first? Eh?” As soon as Jiang Xiao finished speaking, ghostfox, who was in the deep forest in the distance, actually turned his head and disappeared into the forest.
You still want to run?
Jiang Xiao disappeared without a trace in a flash.
Second last strode forward and at the next moment, she saw a ghostly Fox bending its body and flying out of the forest.
Second last dashed forward and swung her right hand, causing a dark silver glow to appear and form a huge blade. She then raised the blade and beheaded ghostfox!
Jiang Xiao’s figure appeared beside ghostfox’s corpse.
Second last’s output was indeed explosive and her power was off the charts. However, ghostfox was a gold-rank creature and it was indeed a little aggrieved to die.
This fellow was different from the thick-skinned ape Ghoul King. Its attributes were almost all focused on agility and speed.
Even its only star technique was named “roar of fear.” Its combat power was not very strong, but it was extremely difficult to capture and kill. Its attributes and star techniques were all for escape.
Unfortunately, he was so fast that he encountered someone who could teleport …
It would be fun if second last were to chase after him.
In this forest, second last probably wouldn’t be able to catch up with the ghostly Fox in her human form. She reckoned that she would have to transform into a Lynx before she could catch up with the fellow.
Under ghostfox’s mist-like body, there was a physical body. Jiang Xiao squatted down and took out ghostfox’s star bead, after which a message was sent to him from his internal star map.
Ghostfox star bead (gold quality)
Star techniques:
1. Roar of fear: let out a roar, causing all enemies in the area to flee in fear. Roar skill. (Gold quality, upgradeable)
Do you want to absorb?”
Of course not.
Jiang Xiao looked around and also saw the headless Fox corpse in the distance. Second last’s cutting skills were pretty good. She had already chopped off the head. Speaking of which, the hairless skin shouldn’t be valuable, right?
Jiang Xiao opened the space portal and threw the ghost Fox star bead inside.””Ah, Oh …”
Second last asked,”why?”
Jiang Xiao said,” 23 gold quality Ghost Tiger star beads and you only managed to absorb one silver quality swiftness. Are you afraid?”
Second last was speechless.
Jiang Xiao placed the giant sword behind his back and looked up at the bright starry sky.””Why don’t you just stab me to death? I don’t want to live anymore …”
How much does a gold quality Ghost Tiger star bead cost? Oh my God …
Jiang Xiao looked like he had nothing to live for and said,”I don’t want to absorb any more of the remaining 11 gold quality Ghost Tiger star beads …”
Let’s take a break, then. We’ll kill more Ghost Tiger star beads first.” Second last said while leading Jiang Xiao into the forest.”Enjoy the process. You’ll feel a greater sense of accomplishment when you achieve your goal.”
Jiang Xiao remained silent for a long time before he suddenly wiped his face fiercely. Second last was right!
Jiang Xiao!
You have to pull yourself together!
You have to continue to spend money!
Spending money to change fate!
Jiang Xiao frantically cheered himself on and said loudly,””I’m going to cry!”
“Huh?” second last asked.
“Uh …” Jiang Xiao hurriedly explained,”I can quickly find the location of The Phantom Tiger through the domain tear.”
Second last agreed.
Dark clouds quickly gathered in the starry sky of the summer night and blocked the bright Galaxy. For some reason, Jiang Xiao suddenly felt a little guilty.
It was because the starry sky was too beautiful!
The rain continued to fall, and the domain tears were controlled by Jiang Xiao to be a light drizzle. However, the range of the rain was getting larger and larger, and it was probably going to cover the entire forest.
Every drop of rain was closely connected to Jiang Xiao’s perception. From this moment on, his perception was far more powerful than second last ‘s.
“Let’s go, I’ve found The Phantom Tiger. ” Jiang Xiao’s body floated up and was about 10 centimeters above the ground before he quickly shuttled back and forth.
Second last hurriedly followed after her. Although second last was very fast, Jiang Xiao had no choice but to slow down …
Although the domain tear didn’t move as fast as Gu Xinzhi’s cherry blossom realm, it could still be considered fast, especially in the mountainous terrain. Flying was faster than running.
It was so comfortable to be on missions with his family. He could use any STAR technique and the feeling of flying was awesome!
“Northwest direction. There are wolves, 36 of them.” Jiang Xiao said while flying.
Second last wiped her wet face and said in a hoarse voice,””That’s not our goal. ”
“Roar!” Jiang Xiao and second last were instantly filled with fighting spirit!
It was Ghost Tiger’s Gold quality STAR technique, Battlesuit!
In Jiang Xiao’s perception, he had already figured out the shape of The Phantom Tiger’s body clearly.
The huge Phantom Tiger was at least three meters long and looked similar to the Tigers on earth. When Jiang Xiao saw it with his naked eyes, he realized that it was very different from the Tigers on earth.
The Phantom Tiger’s size was much larger than what Jiang Xiao and Lei Yu had perceived. Why? Because the mist around its body was particularly thick, the shape it formed was extremely mighty. Its eyes were also two bright stars, with Starlight circulating and emitting a faint cold light. It was extremely domineering!
At the next moment, Jiang Xiao and second last each held a giant sword and charged towards the ferocious Ghost Tiger …
……
Three days later, Jiang Xiao and second last were hiding in a cave while looking at Jiang Xiao, the bait in front of them.
Although Jiang Xiao was wearing a circular mask, he could still see the joy and sorrow in his eyes.
Including the star beads that were previously consumed, Jiang Xiao had absorbed a total of 35 Ghost Tiger star beads!
He had finally absorbed a silver quality swiftness and a silver quality perception!
Their journey under the starry sky could come to a perfect end.
Apart from being a waste of star beads, the combination of star techniques could be said to be extremely lucky! He did not manage to absorb the useless silver quality sharpness. Of course, he did not manage to absorb the gold quality puppet either! This was very comfortable!
The star techniques of the tear Rain series were really terrifying. In the past two days, under Jiang Xiao’s conscious guidance, the two of them didn’t encounter any mountain wolves at all.
Neither the ghost Tiger nor the ghost Fox lived in groups. However, under the heavy rain, Jiang Xiao could easily find those creatures that were moving alone.
The Phantom Tigers were still fine. As the king here, they were carefree and hunted everywhere.
Ghostfoxes were truly troublesome to deal with. They were few in number and extremely fast, making it difficult to hunt them down in this mountainous terrain.
The two of them had successfully completed their mission and had 41 Ghost Tiger star beads in their savings. However, Jiang Xiao felt that second last didn’t want to leave just like that.
She might have been touched by Jiang Xiao’s words when she first entered the place.
Jiang Xiao didn’t mind giving her a way out.
“Let’s go and meet your soldiers. ” Jiang Xiao said carefully.
As the rain stopped, second last, who was all wet, suddenly transformed into lava, giving Jiang Xiao a shock.
Second last’s clothes were also transformed into lava and she returned to her normal form after more than ten seconds. Her wet clothes also became extremely dry.
There’s actually such an operation?
Body of lava, assimilation of clothes?
There are really a lot of small tricks to use star techniques, huh?
The pitiful Jiang Xiao didn’t have any fire-series star techniques and could only watch second last display her skills in front of him with red eyes.
Second last agreed.
Tsk tsk … She was very tsundere.
However, Jiang Xiao didn’t dare to voice out his inner thoughts.
In the cave, Jiang Xiao, the decoy, was using his newly acquired STAR technique, perception, to carefully sense everything in the world.
He could smell the fragrance of the grass and trees after the rain washed over them. He could smell the smell of the soil, as well as the smell left behind by the creatures of other dimensions when they walked through this land.
So, has second last always been feeling this way?
No wonder she was so sharp.
This STAR technique is amazing …
The bait, Jiang Xiao, arrived at the entrance of the cave and looked out. In the Midsummer Night, every blade of grass and tree in the forest was so clear in his eyes.
Investigate the tiniest detail?
As the rain stopped, fireflies flew up in the forest again, and Jiang Xiao could even see the body structure of the fireflies clearly.
“What are you trying to say?” Jiang Xiao suddenly asked.
“Huh?” second last asked.
Jiang Xiao pointed at the bait at the door and said,””I felt your breath just now. When people are ready to speak or open their mouths, they are usually accompanied by a slightly larger breathing movement?”
Second last looked at the back of Jiang Xiao, who was bait at the entrance of the cave and said,””You’re not bad. You’ve mastered this very quickly. It also combines your personal thoughts, analysis, and judgment. ”
Jiang Xiao, the decoy, shrugged his shoulders and said,””Fortunately, I’ve already adapted to the domain tear STAR technique. Otherwise, my head would have exploded from receiving so much information. There was a huge difference between the perception STAR technique and the domain tear STAR technique. It was really … It’s amazing …”
Jiang Xiao looked at second last and asked,”what did you want to say just now?”
“Put on the mask that you’ve conjured,” second last said.
“Why?” Jiang Xiao asked.
Second last said,”I need you to maintain the state of nine tails. One of us has to stay awake.”
Jiang Xiao asked,”why? Will it be dangerous?”
Second last shook her head and said,”no, they’re all guards on night duty. We won’t be in danger. It’s just that you’ll be in charge of helping me back when I’m drunk.”
Jiang Xiao had a strange expression on his face. He had not even met the soldiers yet, but second last had already predicted that she would be so drunk.
Where’s your authority?
Show me! Wouldn’t it be fine if he didn’t drink?
Unless … In her heart, she wanted to get drunk with her former comrades.
Jiang Xiao and second last looked into each other’s eyes quietly. After a long while, Jiang Xiao smiled and nodded. “It’s rare to see you in such a mood, and it’s also rare to have such an opportunity. I will protect you well. He doesn’t talk much and doesn’t drink. ”
Jiang Xiao had always thought that second last’s biggest problem was her “trust.”
But now, it seemed that with a deeper understanding, Jiang Xiao knew that he had been too one-sided.
Perhaps third last’s betrayal had hurt second last deeply and made her extremely harsh in choosing her teammates, but she wasn’t really a ‘lonely’ person. It turned out that there was a group of former comrades waiting and welcoming her.
Second last nodded and stood up.
At the entrance of the cave, the decoy Jiang Xiao turned around and walked towards the gate of the ruins of calamity. When he passed by second last, he suddenly said,””If you’re touched, just say it. You don’t have to hold it in.”
All of a sudden, second last began to hate Jiang Xiao, who had the STAR technique perception and was extremely insightful.
