Nine Star Burden - Chapter 617
Chapter 617: There is no such thing as the most reckless
Jiang Xiao’s Nine Star Slots had finally been lit up, and it was almost the day of school.
Hence, this time, second last didn’t accompany Jiang Xiao into the snowfield. After hearing that Jiang Xiao was going to the snowfield holy ground to send bait into the upper dimension, second last also bade farewell and left that night.
Before leaving, second last also specially reminded Jiang Xiao that she might summon him at the last minute when he was in school to conduct an “interview and assessment” for the members of the light-chasers.
Jiang Xiao had already given second last hou Mingming’s contact information on the way to below the stars Level 3 in Dameng province. It seemed that they had already gotten in touch with each other and that hou Mingming indeed wanted to join the Northwest night Army.
To hou Mingming, this was considered ‘pulling strings’.
There were very few people who could be like Jiang Xiao, who was directly accepted as a lighchaser without going through the status of a “night watchman”.
Of course, it was undeniable that the Halo that Ming Ming had was also the main reason. Otherwise, even if the person who recommended him made a lot of fanciful remarks, it would be impossible for him to pass with his own strength.
Han Jiangxue wanted to accompany Jiang Xiao to the snowfield holy ground, but Jiang Xiao rejected her offer. He also promised Han Jiangxue that he would return quickly.
That was indeed what Jiang Xiao did. On the 26th of August, Jiang Xiao entered the snowfield of jiannan Village alone and stayed in the holy ground for two days. On the 28th of August, Jiang Xiao bid farewell to the local Guardians of the Night and set off to return home.
Jiang Xiao, the decoy, had also been sent into the upper dimension and began a new journey …
In fact, at this moment, Jiang Xiao, the decoy, was standing on the cliff and staring at the afterglow of the setting sun in the distance, feeling lost.
“Ha …” Jiang Xiao, the decoy, took a deep breath and felt much more awake as the cold air filled his lungs.
Although the essence of Jiang Xiao as bait was star power and he was made up of star power Summoners, he was just a human with flesh and blood, and his body structure was no different from that of a normal human being.
‘Hmm …’ Alright, he had no face.
To be exact, his face was a round mask.
Apart from transforming his face into a “Quanquan mask”, the clothes that Jiang Xiao was wearing were real.
When Jiang Xiao used the decoy, he was wearing the uniform of The Night Watch. The decoy that he summoned also transformed into the uniform of The Night Watch.
In the ruins of calamity and shadow, Jiang Xiao, the decoy, had already put on the real Nightwalker’s uniform and the illusionary clothes on his body had also disappeared.
Take note that the clothes here were unlike the Quanquan mask, which Jiang Xiao had deliberately transformed from his facial skin. The clothes were not transmogrified by his skin, but were brought by him when he was summoned. They were pieced together by star power and covered Jiang Xiao’s body, so he could change them.
Jiang Xiao really didn’t want to “run around naked” in this world of Ice and snow …
Well, although the clothes made of star power could cover and protect him from the cold to a certain extent, real clothes were more comfortable to wear.
With the STAR technique perception as bait, Jiang Xiao was really confident when he came to this world again.
The upper dimension’s snowfield was different from the lower dimension’s snowfield. It was not a night sky here, and there were no Aurora flashes in the sky. It was dusk, and the sun had already set, but the afterglow was still there, and one could still see the burning clouds on the horizon.
An orange-red light set off this silver-coated world, making it even more beautiful and quiet.
The silence was finally broken by the rumbling sound.
Jiang Xiao, the decoy, held his giant sword in one hand and was about to embark on the journey when he heard the unique sound of the White ghouls.
The White ghouls were natural hunters, and some of their characteristics were not reflected in their star techniques, such as their ability to find prey.
The White Ghoul had been approaching its prey as carefully as possible. It had a huge body, so it tried to keep its pace light. However, there were some things that it could not control, such as the strange throat sound it made.
Jiang Xiao, the decoy, turned around and saw a white Ghoul hiding behind a tree.
Its snow-white fur had blended in with the snowfield, but Jiang Xiao could still see its feet that were exposed outside the tree.
Jiang Xiao, the decoy, placed his giant sword behind his back and waved his hand. A fiery red bow of star power was quietly pieced together, and a burning fire arrow was instantly formed!
Gold quality green glow?
Gold quality endurance?
I’ll start with you!
“Shh~” Jiang Xiao, the bait, whistled in the direction of the tree.
“Lu …” The White Ghoul peeked out slightly. Its entire body was white, but its ghostly face was so dark and abrupt. Coupled with its Scarlet eyes, the scene was extremely horrifying!
“Roar!” When it was discovered, the White Ghoul stopped hiding and roared!
Jiang Xiao, the decoy, smiled and thought, well … Since the circles on the mask were part of his face, when Jiang Xiao grinned, the curves of the circles changed, which was rather strange …
Come on!
I’m no longer who I was in the past!
I’m going to get back at you for all the things you’ve done to me!
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, in the world covered in silver, there was a horrifying black ghostly-faced creature charging towards a creature with a strange round face …
At the next moment, Jiang Xiao realized the problem.
After all, it was a creature from the upper dimension! They were indeed gold quality white ghouls!
Not only did they grow to about three meters in size, but their agility and speed were also greatly enhanced. What was more terrifying was that this was the home field of the White ghouls!
Of course, the entire snowfield was the White ghouls ‘home ground, but the “home ground” that Jiang Xiao specially emphasized was the forest. The White ghouls were ape-type creatures that walked upright. In a snow forest, their combat effectiveness would be greatly enhanced.
The White Ghoul dodged and leaped behind another tree before Jiang Xiao could even shoot an arrow. It grabbed the trunk of the tree with its huge palm and swung its body lightly, landing behind the next tree quickly.
A huge, snow-white figure shuttled through the snow forest, and Jiang Xiao, who was holding a bow and arrow, suddenly felt like he had nowhere to start.
The White ghouls looked for cover while approaching their prey rapidly. Jiang Xiao was already standing on the cliff and had nowhere to retreat to.
No, there was a place to retreat.
The sharp decoy Jiang Xiao quickly collected information about the surroundings. In fact, there were relatively few huge trees near the cliff.
Jiang Xiao stuck close to the edge of the cliff and retreated rapidly. 30 meters away was a good battle spot, which was relatively empty and had no giant trees within 20 meters.
One thing to remember was that white ghouls were pure melee creatures and did not have long-range attacks … The F * ck?
‘This …’ What was this?
Jiang Xiao’s pupils constricted slightly, only to see that the White Ghoul had smashed a giant tree with its thick shoulders. Even though the White Ghoul was huge, it only created a “tree hole” in the giant tree.
However, the White Ghoul was not discouraged. Instead, it quickly circled around the giant tree and tore it apart with its sharp claws. The next moment, the giant tree was lifted up by the White Ghoul.
A chance!
The heavy trees slowed down the White ghouls ‘movements, giving Jiang Xiao an opportunity to attack!
“Whoosh!”
The fire arrow flew by quickly.
The White Ghoul held the giant tree in front of him and blocked the burning fire arrow.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions and flames erupted.
However, Jiang Xiao’s face stiffened, only to see that the giant wood was actually pushed over by the White Ghoul.
The White Ghoul wasn’t only using its strength. Its huge claws had a gold quality green glow!
Did the Golden white ghouls in the upper dimension already know how to make use of the terrain, even take materials from there, and use tools?
Due to the length of the giant tree, it was spinning and was blocked by the sparse trees on the cliff along the way. Although the angle had changed, it was enough to affect Jiang Xiao.
Because … That was because the cunning white Ghoul was hiding behind the rotating giant wood and in the swirling snow. It was charging at them at high speed!
At this moment, Jiang Xiao only had one thought in his mind: Am I being shown off?
Would Jiang Xiao be happy?
However, Jiang Xiao no longer retreated. Instead, he tilted his body and jumped off the cliff that was hundreds of meters high!
Not only that, but he even turned around to face the White ghouls while he was in mid-air and used the taunt skill that he had secretly learned from the World Cup.
Jiang Xiao, the decoy, placed his thumb on the tip of the nose of the round-faced man while waving his other four fingers casually. A muffled voice could be heard from the strange round-faced man.”Neehee~”
“Roar!” The master white ghost seemed to be unhappy.
Driven by anger and the desire to kill, it roared and leaped forward, its sharp claws glistening in the afterglow of the setting sun. Its huge body was like a cannonball, and it rapidly blasted towards the decoy Jiang Xiao.
Plop plop plop …
The decoy Jiang Xiao, who was flying backward in the air, suddenly transformed into a Crow that appeared quietly and flew away.
“Roar! “Roar!” Roar!” The White Ghoul’s giant claws missed. The big fellow bared its fangs and brandished its claws, but it had no place to exert force in the air. It could only roar and wave its limbs wildly to vent its anger.
Hehe, I can fly~
The crows flew rapidly in the air, but they flew below the White ghouls and formed a human figure again.
As soon as Jiang Xiao, the decoy, appeared, the explosive arrow in his hand was ready!
Their qualifications might be inferior, and their hardware facilities might not be top-notch enough. However, in terms of software facilities and combat intelligence, Jiang Xiao had never been impressed by anyone.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The explosive arrow hit the White Ghoul’s giant claw in front of it. With a loud bang, the White Ghoul was sent flying diagonally upwards.
Plop plop plop …
The decoy, Jiang Xiao, transformed into a Crow again and flew high into the sky before chasing after her.
It’s the “face-contact kite” segment again?
“CAW, CAW, CAW~” the one-eyed Crow cawed a few times, and bright stars fell from the sky and poured into its body, restoring its star power.
The black crow spread its wings and flew. After adjusting its angle and position, it transformed into a human again, and the fiery red bow and arrow appeared in its hand.
After the explosive arrow, the White ghouls that were flying diagonally upwards finally became white ghouls that were flying vertically.
At the same time, countless white ghouls and white Ghoul witches in the snow forest within a radius of hundreds of miles looked up.
They saw a pitiful white ghost being continuously blasted into the sky. Below the White ghost, a Crow was circling, occasionally transforming into a human form and shooting arrows.
After that … The entire snowfield was in chaos …
The ground was shaking, the snow on the trees was falling, and the trees were shaking. Countless hunters were rushing over from all directions. It seemed that a grand party was about to be held here!
“CAW, CAW, CAW~” the one-eyed Crow circled in the air, and its screeches cut through the sky, as if it was sending the most sincere invitation to the snowfield.
Come on!
I dare to be so wild when I’m alone,
What are you afraid of when you’re in groups and gangs?
Life was short! My friends! He was getting impatient!
