Nine Star Burden - Chapter 624
Chapter 624: If possible
“Ha …. Jiang Xiao took a deep breath and coughed twice.”Cough, cough.”
After that, Jiang Xiao saw a bed on the ground.
It was a bed made of a dozen thick white ghouls ‘furs. The owner of the treehouse must have lived here for a long time. Although there was no bed, only a mattress on the ground, there were chairs and tables made of wooden stakes.
Was that a stone bowl?
Jiang Xiao, the decoy, was in a complicated mood and he didn’t know if he should be excited or disappointed. There were no cabinets or drawers in the room, so where could he hide anything?
It was obvious that no one had lived here for a long time.
What did you rely on to keep yourself warm?
This house didn’t even have a window or a chimney, and it was completely dark. How was he going to start a fire to warm his body?
Jiang Xiao, the decoy, strode in and quickly collected information. Finally, he found dried blood in the corner behind the wooden table.
Due to the low temperature, the blood was preserved. What made Jiang Xiao puzzled was that the coagulated blood was falling to the ground and corners bit by bit, just like a nosebleed. Some of the coagulated blood even flowed along the side of the wooden table, drawing a few traces that had long coagulated.
Jiang Xiao, the decoy, placed his hands on his waist and looked at the “upright” characters with a complicated expression. He muttered softly,””You are now, you … Hmm?”
Jiang Xiao, the decoy, squinted his eyes and took two steps forward. He then stretched out his hand and pressed it against the wall on the left.
The words that he mumbled also changed.”You guys … Where are you now …”
As Jiang Xiao discovered the first “Zheng” that was written in a different style, more and more “Zheng” that were written in the second style also entered his sight.
There was a huge difference in style between rough and graceful. Jiang Xiao thought that they might be from a man and a woman.
The word “Zheng” had five strokes. The first three strokes came from one person, and the last two strokes came from another person.
Therefore … The formation of this word meant that he would be back in three days, right?
In this vast ocean of “Zheng” characters, these graceful “Zheng” characters and scattered strokes, although rare, were enough to prove that this place was not lived by one person!
Jiang Xiao, the decoy, remained silent for a long while before walking out of the wooden house. He then flew up again and looked around before finding a smaller tree.
The crow landed on the snow and transformed into a human. She pulled out the giant steel blade on her back and slashed at the trees.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Crack, crack, crack …
A moment later, the small tree toppled over and was then chopped into countless pieces of firewood by Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao, the decoy, placed the giant sword behind him and carried the firewood. He then stepped on the thick snow and walked towards the cliff that was tens of meters away.
He cleared out an open space and surrounded the firewood. A fiery red hunting bow and several burning flame Arrows appeared in his hands.
Jiang Xiao, the decoy, pulled out several fire arrows and stuck them into the surrounded firewood.
He silently looked at the firewood below him, but in his mind, the house was filled with “Zheng.”
I’m here, you guys … Where was he?
There was no concept of time in the upper snowfield dimension. This place was forever filled with the afterglow of the setting sun. One could only see the sunlight, but not the real sun.
After an unknown period of time, at the foot of the opposite mountain, at the bottom of the canyon, a figure slowly crawled out of the cave. He took a deep breath, but his eyes suddenly widened.
He looked up at the top of the high cliff hundreds of meters away and saw wisps of green smoke floating into the sky.
That was … The location of the treehouse?
The man was dumbstruck as he watched this scene. He did not come back to his senses for a long time. He grabbed his hair and turned back to the cave. He shouted excitedly,”Lan lan! Lan lan!”
The man stumbled into the cave and made many turns. In the depths of the cave, he ran into a room with a burning bonfire.
In his line of sight, the woman was carrying a child of three or four years old. She was humming a lullaby as she walked.
“Oh …” When the child heard the shout, he could not help but rub his eyes with his little hands and look at the entrance of the cave.”Daddy, Daddy is back …” Daddy. ”
The woman hurriedly covered the back of the little boy’s head with one hand and pressed his little face on her shoulder. As she walked in the room, she continued to sing softly.
When the woman turned around, she looked at the man in confusion.
The man opened his mouth and looked at the child sleeping on her shoulder. He hesitated for a moment and whispered,””I’m going hunting, hurry up and come back. ”
The woman nodded slightly, then turned around and coaxed the child to sleep again.
The man took a deep look at this scene before turning around and taking a step forward.
Walking out of the house, it was dark. The man was familiar with the place, as if he could walk out with his eyes closed.
He climbed all the way up the winding tunnel and finally, light appeared in front of him. He squeezed out of the small cave and looked up at the cliff again. As expected, the wisps of green smoke were still rising slowly.
The man strode through the canyon, stepping on a snow path with uneven Stone Heights. He came to the cliff on the opposite side, and with a light leap, he climbed onto the protruding stone on the cliff.
Judging from the results of the men’s rock climbing, he was not only a sensitive Star Warrior, but he also knew the environment here like the back of his hand.
The cliff was hundreds of meters high, but he was walking on it as if it were flat ground. Sometimes, he would summon two sharp military blades in his hands and climb up quickly like pickaxes.
After an unknown amount of time, a hand grabbed the edge of the cliff tightly. Then, the big hand exerted force and the man’s body rose into the air, landing steadily on the cliff.
Following the direction of the “smoke signal”, the man could faintly hear the sound of a fierce battle. To be exact, it was the roar of the White ghouls.
The man’s heart tightened. No matter who the person who raised the smoke was, he should be a human. There must be no accidents!
How many years had it been? how long had he searched? how long had he waited …
The man did not say anything and quickly touched it, only to hear the White ghost’s voice getting angrier and angrier.
If one stayed long enough, one would be able to distinguish the emotions in the howls of the White ghouls.
Although the White Ghoul’s roar sounded like a simple roar to others, the man understood the meaning of the White Ghoul’s roar. This fellow must have gone from simply hunting prey to extreme personal hatred.
Obviously, the White Ghoul had been angered to a certain extent.
The man’s pace quickened, and he hid behind a huge tree in a flash. He leaned out slightly to take a look, and the next moment, he was dumbfounded …
He saw a giant blade that was spinning rapidly and flying back and forth.
He saw the White Ghoul, who was furious and staggering because of his incompetence.
He also saw the black clothes. They were so familiar, yet so strange.
Especially … On the right sleeve of the black military uniform, there was a red armband on a black background. The red word “night” was written in blood red.
The man stood up dumbly.
He knew that there were countless brothers who were on Night Watch in the lower dimensions, day and night. However, they were separated by heaven and earth once they reached the holy ground.
Were they really brothers on Night Watch?
It was … A brother who accidentally entered the holy ground?
After all, this person’s clothes were still very new … The man’s mood changed rapidly. At first, he was excited, then he was sad.
He felt sad for the night watchman. If everything went as expected, the night watchman who had entered the snowfield by mistake would spend the rest of his life here. Or perhaps, they would be surrounded and devoured by the White ghouls one day.
The man didn’t even know which result was better.
This snowfield was like a huge prison. After staying for a long time, it would constantly sting one’s nerves. Sometimes, being alive was more painful than being dead.
The White ghouls ‘howls suddenly sounded in his ears again, but they were so weak.
The man quickly came back to his senses and saw that the night watchman pointed his elbow, and a gold quality green glow appeared. The huge white Ghoul flew out directly, and the giant blade in the night watchman’s hand also spun out. The sharp giant blade was also enhanced with the gold quality green glow and shot out quickly!
The giant blade had accurately pierced the White Ghoul’s head while spinning at such a high speed!
What kind of skill was this?
The man’s body trembled … As expected of a night watchman, but do you really want to waste your skills, the strength that you have trained day and night with blood and sweat?
The giant blade pierced through the head of the giant white Ghoul and nailed it into the giant tree.
However, Jiang Xiao, the decoy, didn’t step forward because he had already discovered with his sharp senses that there was someone behind him.
That person should have good intentions. At least, he didn’t launch a sneak attack and didn’t seem to have any intention of hiding.
Slowly, the decoy Jiang Xiao turned around and saw the “Savage” standing beside the tree.
It was a man wearing a white Ghoul fur coat.
At first glance, Jiang Xiao could see him as a Savage. However, at a second glance, Jiang Xiao realized that the White fur coat was exquisitely made and not simply sewn together.
The man was about 1.8 meters tall. His face was thin, but his skeleton was large and his shoulders were wide. There was a stubble on his face and his hair was short. It was obvious that he had been trimmed regularly.
Jiang Xiao frowned slightly and sized up the man’s clothes. When a person struggled to survive in the wilderness or on an isolated island for a long time, but still maintained a certain image, then one could probably infer a fact: He might not be living alone.
The Thin Man’s eyes narrowed. He saw the face of the night watchman, who was wearing a strange mask, and his dark eyes.
A muffled voice came from the strange mask,””Your name.”
The skinny man opened his mouth but did not respond immediately.
Jiang Xiao walked in front of the White Ghoul, pulled out his giant sword, turned around to look at The Thin Man, and said in a muffled voice,””Your name.”
This was just a process of confirmation. In fact, there was no need for a name at all. Jiang Xiao had already seen his face and it matched the face in the information.
However, compared to that time, the man now seemed to have experienced many vicissitudes.
The man still did not speak.
However, a muffled voice came from the mask.”Guardian Legion soldier, Hu Wei, male, han race, born in 1989. Time of disappearance: January 18th, 2011. He went out on patrol with his companion, canglan, and has not returned.” (See Chapter 361 for details)
Hu Wei’s body trembled slightly, and his heart beat violently. There were tears in his eyes, and his voice was choked with sobs,””There are still people … Do you remember me?”
If possible, Jiang Xiao really wanted to tell him,”I’m here to take you home.
However, Jiang Xiao didn’t have such an ability.
“Ah …” A deep sigh came from the mask.
