In the strange ball, in the land of Beijiang.
In a cave, there was a huge white Ghoul corpse beside Jiang Xiao and a bonfire burning in front of him.
He was holding a branch in his hand and skewering a piece of barbecued meat. Although there were no seasonings, the sizzling and oily barbecued meat had already made Jiang Xiao salivate.
“What?” Jiang Xiao suddenly squinted his eyes and turned around to look at the entrance of the cave.
Which blind person would dare to come here?
!!
Aren’t there enough corpses to eat?
In addition, most of the creatures on the strange ball had some intelligence. Even the brutal white ghouls and white Ghoul witches knew who they should not provoke.
Jiang Xiao could vaguely hear the sound of footsteps.
People?
Jiang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat and he stood up slowly, staring at the entrance of the cave with anticipation.
“Hello, friend, are you Chinese?” A surprised voice was heard. Then, an old man walked in.
A great wasteland reclamation senior established He Yun?
“Senior he?” Jiang Xiao couldn’t believe it and looked He Yun up and down. He hadn’t seen him for a long time, but he didn’t seem to have changed much.
Hearing this, He Yun was obviously stunned.
This voice was … Jiang Xiao?
At this moment, Jiang Xiao wasn’t wearing his mask and didn’t have his iconic giant sword beside him.
Immediately after, Jiang Xiao saw a slender figure in a white cloak, a hood, and a white cloth that was still covering her face.
The blind girl was a powerful Star Warrior with a creepy fighting style. Jiang Xiao still didn’t know her name.
He Yun walked in quickly and said,””Little friend? Is it really you? My bait was in the upper part of the snowfield. He had gone to the residence in the canyon, but there was no one there. The soldiers stationed there had all moved away.
I’ve been waiting at the entrance to the strange ball for a long time, but I haven’t been able to see you. It turns out that you’ve already entered the strange ball!”
Senior He Yun then said with an embarrassed smile,””I didn’t protect you well last time, and you were eaten by that fish. I thought you didn’t want to come again!”
Jiang Xiao shook his head with a smile and said,””How is that possible? I’ve been here the whole time, but I didn’t know where to find you in the upper snowfield. After I entered the strange ball, I was held back …”
Jiang Xiao paused and looked at He Yun before asking,””You two have been looking for me?”
He Yun nodded.”I guess so. I felt that something was amiss when I saw so many white ghouls ‘corpses. There shouldn’t be any species that are much stronger than the White ghouls in this area.
When I found someone in the cave, I thought it was a powerful Star Warrior who had accidentally entered the strange ball. I didn’t expect it to be you …”
“You’re growing very fast!”He Yun exclaimed in admiration. To be able to reach such a level, you can’t be …”
He Yun looked at Jiang Xiao’s face and thought of the hellish scene outside.””You didn’t come here in your original body, did you?”
Jiang Xiao shook his head.”No, I’m still the bait.”
“That’s good, that’s good. Why aren’t you wearing a mask this time?”He Yun nodded. Where’s your knife?”
Jiang Xiao licked his lips and handed her a piece of barbecued meat.””If you’ve been looking for me all this time, did you see a girl? She’s about 15 or 16 years old, probably …”
After hearing Jiang Xiao’s description, He Yun shook his head and said,””I’ve never seen her before. How did you meet this girl?”
“I …” Jiang Xiao hesitated for a moment and sighed. He then told her about his magical journey into the paradise, but he didn’t tell her the exact location of the Paradise and only told her a few stories.
At the side, the blind girl listened silently, not saying a word from beginning to end.
“Sigh … It’s been hard on that child. ” He Yun heaved a heavy sigh.”Your little girlfriend is a little impetuous.”
“I don’t have any romantic feelings for her. I’m her master, and she’s my disciple.” Jiang Xiao hurriedly explained.
“Oh?” He Yun asked.
Jiang Xiao scratched his head and said,”she’s still young. She’s just a child in my eyes. I can’t possibly have any ill intentions. Besides …” You might not believe it, but I think I’m more like a father than a daughter. ”
He Yun looked at Jiang Xiao’s young face and couldn’t help but grin.
Are you an adult? You still want to be a father?
“What do you plan to do next?” He Yun asked with concern.
Jiang Xiao twirled the branch in his hand and said,””Let’s look for one. It’s good to have a target.”
“If you can’t find it, could it be that you’re going in the wrong direction?” He Yun asked slowly.
“Mm …” Jiang Xiao thought for a moment and said,”maybe. I’ve searched the Beijiang region, including some of the Dameng regions, and the Russian Federation on the periphery of my own territory. There’s nothing there.”
“Come with us to the South.” He Yun took a bite of the roasted meat and patted Jiang Xiao’s shoulder.”Don’t give up.”
Jiang Xiao nodded and agreed.
“Then let’s go,” He Yun said directly.
“Uh … That’s fine too. ”
“If you’re tired, you can turn into a Crow. I’ll carry you,” He Yun said.
Jiang Xiao did not stand on ceremony and immediately transformed into a Crow before landing on He Yun’s shoulder.
He Yun finished the roasted meat in a few bites and walked out.
At the entrance of the cave, the blind girl suddenly stretched out her hand.
He Yun was stunned, and so was the one-eyed Crow on his shoulder.
After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Xiao flapped his wings and flew onto the palm of the blind girl.
The next moment, the blind girl opened her mouth and spoke!
She actually opened her mouth to speak?
The blind girl gently stroked the black crow’s little head with one hand and said in a gentle voice,””Maybe she didn’t go to find you. Maybe she just wanted to see the outside world.”

Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.
As the blind girl spoke, she picked up the one-eyed Crow and placed it on her shoulder. Her white cloak fluttered gently as she walked out.
Behind him, He Yun heaved a deep sigh.
Everyone had their own story. For so many years, he rarely heard the blind girl speak, and even almost thought she was mute. He did not expect her to have such a gentle side.
On the blind girl’s shoulder, the one-eyed Crow slowly “sat” down.
He was indeed a little tired. If there was anything, he would talk about it after he woke up.
The lonely red eyes slowly closed.
……
Seven days later, earth, Imperial City.
Jiang Xiao applied for leave from the head Examiner, Zuo Yiheng, and went to report for the national team’s individual competition.
As for why they were going today, it was because the final ten-Man Group would be decided today in the individual competition. They were indeed a little faster than the team competition.
Jiang Xiao only went today because he was detained by the head Examiner, Zuo Yiheng, and became the other party’s examiner.
Such an experience was actually rather interesting to Jiang Xiao.
Standing in different positions and looking at problems from different angles, how to assign troops, arrange groups, and personnel to bring out the greatest characteristics of each person in the team was indeed a test of an individual’s ability.
Jiang Xiao had also discovered a particularly serious problem. On paper, a few students from different schools should be particularly strong when they teamed up. However, when they really fought, they were far less effective than the fixed team in the school.
After all, the Star Warriors competition was not a cold comparison of data. Otherwise, there was no need to fight at all. The experts could make predictions.
If they were to compare Jiang Xiao’s strength on paper and the experts ‘predictions, it was estimated that Jiang Xiao would be able to make it through the last round of the World Cup.
Jiang Xiao put on a cap and a mask. After verifying his identity with the security guards, he sneaked into the Sanshan Stadium and sat in the back row of the huge Stadium in an inconspicuous spot.
He looked down at the one-on-one match between the two star Warrior students.
