September 11,2017.
A week after the start of the semester at Star Warrior University, under the lead of Qin Wangchuan and instructor Jiang Hong, everyone headed to Yanzhao province, Pearl City.
Well, it was not Xiangjiang city, which was known as the “Pearl of the East”, but Mingzhu city, which was located in Yanzhao province.
The name of Pearl City was very interesting. The Pearl in the Dijin corridor.
The name of the city was enough to show the importance of the city.
Although this team had left the province and entered Pearl City, most of the people here spoke Mandarin. A considerable number of them even had a Beijing accent, which was more standard than the people in Imperial City …
In the eastern city Dongcheng Area of Pearl City, there was a cave of death dimensional space in full bloom!
There were many heroes in Yan and Zhao, this saying was true!
It was this extremely dangerous dimensional space that bred Platinum-ranked creatures that was opened in the Dongcheng Area of Pearl City in the 1980s! Yet, the people of Yanzhao did not destroy it, and instead controlled the entire area!
What kind of creature was a ruffian? Was that something an ordinary person could stop? With a blade of death in his hand, he was definitely a master who wandered the world …
Regardless of what others thought, Jiang Xiao was convinced.
There was no doubt that in order to control this area, the local soldiers and civilians must have put in a lot of effort.
Of course, there were also historical problems. This cave of death dimensional space was the first cave of death space to open in the land of China. Its research value and practical use value were without a doubt.
The higher-ups had given the order to keep this precious and only cave of death dimensional space. After that, many capable people had fought a bloody battle in this dimensional space and preserved this cave of death with their weapons.
As it turned out, the cave of death was one of the only five caves in the land of Huaxia, and there were very few such dimensional spaces.
Ever since the cave of death was controlled, the advanced melee fighters produced by the Yan and Zhao forces had indeed taken off …
The key word here was “advanced.”
The Pearl Military Academy, which stood tall here, was also a famous Military Academy in the country. When the Star Warriors really advanced to a certain rank, the local students and soldiers had the opportunity to come into contact with and enter the cave of death.
However, the desperate creatures were all at the Platinum level, and the star techniques they had started from the Platinum level. Therefore, Star Warriors had to be excellent enough to have the possibility of entering this place.
Therefore, it was probably impossible to enter the military school during the period of time.
A very realistic example was the National High School League, where the melee fighters from Tianjin and Yanzhao were the only ones who appeared. In the world Cup, Zhongyuan province’s melee fighters were the Kings. In these two stages, you would not be able to find the daredevil Yan Zhao Min Zhan.
The top of the ancient tower in the Zhongyuan province and the shadow cave in Tianjin trained students and Star Warriors at the Nebula and Galaxy stages.
As the quality of the star techniques of the Desperado family was too high, the rise of the Desperado STAR technique in Yanzhao would probably be after the star Ocean …
Xia Yan wasn’t from Yanzhao, nor was she a teacher or student in a local military school, much less a local officer or soldier. She was able to enter this place at the Galaxy stage entirely because of her identity as an apprentice during the first stage of wasteland reclamation. Of course, it was also because she was a national champion.
Xia Yan’s Desperado star bead was the prize that she had won in the National High School League.
Moreover, with her 28 Star Slots, she managed to acquire one of the core star techniques, Platinum-blade of death, which led to her subsequent story.
Xia Yan was always overshadowed by Han Jiangxue, but she was a living monster with 28 Star Slots and was worthy of being called a genius! Being able to absorb the “blade of death” was indeed her talent.
If it had been anyone else, the champion would have been rewarded with the Desperado star bead, and there would have been no following story.
Xia Yan had even told Jiang Xiao that she felt a sense of “transparency” when she absorbed the Desperado star bead. This feeling appeared in Han Jiangxue’s senses when she absorbed Yan Xiaoyue and the flames evolved into two star techniques in one star.
What did this mean?
Xia Yan’s double-handed sword star map was extremely compatible with the star beads and star techniques of the fugitive series!
Even though she didn’t manage to acquire two star techniques in one star, she managed to acquire the blade of death in the Galaxy stage.
Due to the fact that the training was dangerous enough, instructor Jiang Hong, who could teleport, was recruited again. He still had a serious look on his face and was still harsh to Jiang Xiao even though he had already won the World Cup individual competition.
He looked as if Jiang Xiao owed him a hundred Yuan …
……
Under the lead of the two instructors, the four-man team met with the local wasteland reclaimers, got into the van, and headed to the cave of death in the Dongcheng Area.
It was a wise decision for everyone to strive to become an apprentice.
Since they were students of the first ‘experimental class’ of the wasteland reclaimers, the amount of resources that the wasteland reclaimers had allocated to these children was unimaginable.
For Jiang Xiao’s sake, the wasteland reclaimers opened up a path to the forest of tears in Heron Island City, Bamin province.
For Xia Yan’s sake, the wasteland reclaimers worked hard again and opened up a path to the cave of death in Yanzhao province.
Of course, the two of them were not the only ones who benefited. Song chunxi, who came along, also hoped to obtain some star beads of the fugitive series.
As a melee fighter, anyone would want to be lucky enough to join the Desperado of Yan Zhao after they advanced.
Although song chunxi was in the Galaxy stage and her Star Slots were already filled, she would definitely absorb the star beads of the fugitive series as soon as she advanced to the Galaxy stage in the future.
The van drove to the easternmost part of the eastern Dongcheng Area which was already considered a half-military and half-civilian District. The military camp was only one street away from the civilian houses and commercial district. Such a dangerous dimensional space was in the military camp, but the people outside were living normal and stable lives. It was enough to show how powerful the military was.
The van was parked in the parking lot at the entrance of the military camp. Under the guidance of two local wasteland reclaimers, the group walked into the camp. After several inspections, they did not go to the space gate immediately but came to a monument.
The monument was filled with names. On the high-speed rail, Qin Wangchuan had talked about this issue very seriously. The names on the monument were those who had exchanged their lives for the cave of death. Most of them were military soldiers, and some were local citizens.
Everyone lowered their heads and mourned for three minutes before they headed to the building where the dimensional space’s Gate was.
This cave of death was also the best interpretation of the saying “the predecessors planted and the descendants collected.” Tens of thousands of such examples were put together to form the Republic of Hua Xia today.
Jiang Xiao was sure that Xia Yan would never let him down.
In the future, in the wasteland reclaimers, she would make great achievements with the blade of death.
Before entering the space gate, Jiang Xiao also keenly discovered the dissatisfaction of the local guardians.
The reason? These four little guys were all at the Galaxy stage!
Due to the Halos of the children, they were the World Cup champions and the sixth place in the world Cup team competition. The local Guardian Army was even more unwilling to let such children enter the cave of death.
It was too dangerous here. Even if there were two powerful wasteland reclaimers guarding the place, they would still be able to survive …
This was the “cave of death,” a place where one could die instantly.
It would be a loss for the country if any of these four young men were to be lost.
The facts had proven that Jiang Xiao and the others had indeed reached this stage by relying on their own strength.
However, the wasteland reclaimers had already finished communicating with the Guardians. No matter how much the soldiers wanted to stop them, they could only allow a small team of six to enter. In the end, they even tried to persuade Qin Wangchuan to find two more powerful wasteland reclaimers to protect the four young men.
In fact, the Guardians were wondering why they didn’t just shoot the star beads and let their apprentices absorb them.
However, Qin Wangchuan didn’t think so. Giving star beads and personal experience were two completely different things. He understood the team and knew their abilities. Besides …
Moreover, to Qin Wangchuan, he knew that this experiential learning was not a ” 2-in-4″ as it seemed on the surface, but a ” 3-in-3″.
Jiang Xiao had already far surpassed his peers. Although Qin Wangchuan had never mentioned it to prevent Jiang Xiao from being too arrogant, Qin Wangchuan and instructor Jiang Hong were very clear about this.
People could shamelessly comment that Jiang Xiao’s “hardware facilities” were insufficient, but he was almost an impeccable warrior in terms of “software facilities.”
During the summer vacation a month ago, the capital’s wasteland reclaimers had an urgent mission and Qin Wangchuan had strongly supported Jiang Xiao to join the team.
However, at that time, Jiang Xiao was cooperating with the National Star stars Association to carry out official activities. In addition to Jiang Xiao’s so-called “apprentice status” and the fact that there was no lack of members in the wasteland reclaimers ‘team, the proposal was not settled.
During Jiang Xiao’s one-on-one trip to the World Cup, the level of technique he had displayed, the level of star techniques he had used, and his calm, rational, and tough heart …
The last condition, in particular, had already made Jiang Xiao break away from his status as an apprentice and student and transform into a truly outstanding soldier.
Qin Wangchuan only felt that it was a pity. He was only one step later than The Night Watch.
One step behind, one step behind.
In the end, the six-man team still entered the cave of death. Under the circumstances where both armies had come to such an agreement, it was still so difficult to enter this place. Of course, the four little fellows would cherish this opportunity to train even more.
In the huge cave, people saw the figures of The Guardian Army.
Due to the special nature of this dimensional space, the Guardians were not far from the spatial gate. They were stationed at the gate. The materials used to build the houses were probably not local but transported from earth. The houses were made of “steel and iron bones” and looked very strong.
The soldiers were also in groups of twos and threes, standing guard in front of the spatial gate together. They had never slacked off in the slightest.
With the help of the torch, Jiang Xiao could see his surroundings clearly.
The rows of torches extended along the wall, leading to the unknown depths of the huge tunnel.
Although the torches were bright, Jiang Xiao’s first impression of the place was that it was dark, the second impression was that it was damp, and the third impression was that it was accessible in all directions.
The cave of death was just like its name.
Everyone appeared in a cave and couldn’t see the outside.
Of course, it wasn’t impossible to get out of here, but there was nothing outside. It was just a desolate wilderness with the hot sun shining high in the sky. There were no traces of animals outside, and even plants were very rare.
It was a well-known fact that the desperate creatures did not like light. They only existed in dark underground caves.
The tunnels that extended in all directions were extremely large. Even if four small teams were to fight in the tunnels, there would still be more than enough space to fight.
Most of the tunnels here had signs left behind by the Guardians to guide people back.
Instructor Jiang Hong and Qin Wangchuan showed an unprecedented tense state of preparation for the battle. The creatures here would not inform you in advance and would not give you three seconds to react …
It was killing two birds with one stone to use the cave of death as the venue for Xia Yan’s assessment.
The team of four looked at each other, and after Jiang Xiao nodded, Han Jiangxue said,””Song chunxi, lead the way. Remember the route that the defenders gave us. We’ll circle around underground and then return to the supply point here.”
Han Jiangxue then looked at Qin Wangchuan and said,””Two instructors, would you like to join the team temporarily?”
“No.” Qin Wangchuan shook his head and said,”no, this is the mission for your team.”
Qin Wangchuan trusted this team more. Otherwise, he would not have tried so hard to get them to enter the cave of death.
Without a doubt, this small team represented the highest level of combat strength among their age group. Qin Wangchuan believed that they could survive.
Of course, appropriate protection was necessary. Otherwise, Qin Wangchuan and Jiang Hong wouldn’t have come. However, they definitely couldn’t be treated like flowers and thrown into the greenhouse. In that case, they wouldn’t be star Warriors.
Han Jiangxue continued to ask,”are you guys going to follow us?”
Qin Wangchuan nodded his head as if it was a matter of course.
“Yes.” Han Jiangxue looked at Jiang Xiao and said,”you and song chunxi will lead the way. Xia Yan will be in the middle and stand in front of me. We’ll split into two groups and stand in two. Don’t get too close to each other.”
Xia Yan opened her mouth. She was the one who should be clearing the way with song chunxi, but … Well, alright, it’s reasonable to let Jiang Xiao go.
In fact … If it weren’t for the fact that Jiang Xiao didn’t have any perception-type star techniques, Han Jiangxue would have wanted him to lead the way alone while song chunxi and Xia Yan stayed in the middle …
Due to the terrain restrictions, Jiang Xiao and Xia Yan’s domain tears star techniques were limited, and only song chunxi’s perception star techniques were functioning normally.
Of course, Han Jiangxue wasn’t trying to trick Jiang Xiao. She could even sacrifice her life for him.
However, that was a separate matter. This was a team battle, and the actual situation was that Jiang Xiao was the perfect Vanguard in the team.
Jiang Xiao’s existence would make the extremely dangerous cave of death a little easier.
Since he had already acknowledged Han Jiangxue’s position as the commander, Jiang Xiao would definitely obey her orders.
Jiang Xiao discovered to his dismay that no one would treat him as a proper healer anymore after the World Cup …
