Nine Star Burden

Chapter 230: Corridor Terror

What happened to you?

What do you mean? Are you concerned about me? Or is that girl concerned about her companion?

While thinking about it, Jiang Xiao tried hard to bear with the pain, but he dared not declare loudly that he was safe. Although sounds would not make the stone sculptures come alive, the sounds would probably attract the ones that had already come back to life.

Jiang Xiao was not silly. At the same time, he did not dare to use Blessing and Bell, because those Medical Star Techniques would give out some light and Jiang Xiao did not want to attract attention.

However, Jiang Xiao made another interesting move again. He immediately lit up the “Dawn” Star Technique at his feet.

In an instant, all the dark golden auras within a radius of 40 meters disappeared, leaving only a dark golden time scale at Jiang Xiao’s feet.

“Over there!” exclaimed the eagle-eyed Xia Yan, who instantly located Jiang Xiao.

As the great healer, of course Jiang Xiao had to take care of everyone. He hurriedly deactivated Dawn and put Nostalgia on all the surrounding creatures.

In this environment with low visibility, Jiang Xiao’s Nostalgia could indeed help everyone locate their targets, and the brightness was just right. It was dim enough to avoid letting the stone sculptures come back to life.

When Nostalgia was lit up again, everyone got a great shock!

The group of resurrected stone statues had already found them by moving along the only light source, the portal!

In fact, when the stone sculptures stepped into the range of the light coming from the portal, they no longer needed to use Nostalgia to verify the enemies’ positions.

Without uttering another word, Han Jiangxue cast a shot of Barren Wind and tried to blow Jiang Xiao over. However, she seemed to have missed, as she heard a loud thud, followed by Jiang Xiao gasping…

Han Jiangxue panicked and exclaimed, “Location!”

There was already chaos at the door!

The stone sculptures that seemed to have come alive, the Victors Legion and police officers that began fighting at close range, and several Star Warriors Armed Police Force squads surged in through the portal. The entire scene was chaotic.

Han Jiangxue dared not blow Jiang Xiao over because they would at least have to wait for the situation at the door to settle down first.

Xia Yan kept her eyes fixed on the dark gold time scale again. It was obvious that Jiang Xiao was asking for help.

Xia Yan took the lead and rushed out with her giant sword while Han Jiangxue followed closely behind.

With a sullen expression, Wei Zhi said, “Zebin, go watch that kid and tell him to continue casting Nostalgia.”

While carrying the long spear, Yan Zebin dashed forward while a current passed through the spear from time to time, lighting up the surroundings.

“Here, here,” Jiang Xiao said softly. Seeing that there was a small bunch of flames in Xia Yan’s hand, he continued, “Be careful, there are other mysterious creatures besides the stone sculptures here.”

Xia Yan and Han Jiangxue followed the voice to the spot where Jiang Xiao was hiding in—it turned out to be the corner of the stairs.

Jiang Xiao couldn’t care much. He hurriedly placed an Imprint on Xia Yan’s body before throwing out a shot of Bell.

They were only 20 centimeters away from each other, and as the fine melody of Bell sounded, the deep wound on Jiang Xiao’s back continuously healed.

However, the sound of Bell and the faint light seemed to have also attracted the attention of the stone sculptures.

Jiang Xiao hurriedly activated Nostalgia again and he saw another halo rushing towards him quickly from the distance.

Jiang Xiao was taken aback. Are there creatures this fast here? They should be the mysterious creatures that sneak attacked me just now, eh?

To his surprise, the dark golden halo was continuously moving rapidly with some current, seemingly lighting up the path ahead.

Is this… a person? Are they giving me aid?

The figure carrying the spear quickly approached and introduced himself. “Member of Victors Legion, Yan Zebin.”

Jiang Xiao felt a sense of relief and sighed. He had gotten a great shock because if it were a fast-moving creature of another dimension, he would be in huge trouble.

Jiang Xiao asked, “Melee? Electric-series?”

Yan Zebin swung his spear and maniacally crushed all the stone sculptures one by one. Looking rather indifferent, he did not answer Jiang Xiao’s question.

Yan Zebin crushed an ugly stone monster and turned around to extend his arms before picking Jiang Xiao up and scurrying upstairs.

Yan Zebin’s mindset was very simple. Jiang Xiao’s presence was significant because of “Nostalgia”. As long as Jiang Xiao had a safe location to activate Nostalgia, he would be able to leave the fighting to the Victors Legion and Star Warriors Armed Police Force.

When Shen Hao got into trouble just now, Yan Zebin quickly analyzed the building, only to discover that there were very few stone sculptures in the corridor of the second floor.

If Jiang Xiao could stand on the corridor directly above the portal on the first floor and use the portal as the central point to radiate the light from Nostalgia, he would be able to give the Victors Legion and the Star Warriors Armed Police Force the greatest benefits.

Yan Zebin held onto Jiang Xiao while current flowed from the spear and shone the road ahead. He hurriedly ran up to the corridor on the second floor.

The previous time he was picked up and brought away by someone was when he was in the snowfield with Second Last. Although Yan Zebin was much slower than Second Last, he could start and stop very quickly.

Behind him, Xia Yan and Han Jiangxue were rather worried.

Yan Zebin was charging in front and there were flames in Xia Yan’s hand. He was running quickly, but while he was not noticing, he ran into a stone sculpture that had yet to come alive when making a turn.

“Ah!” Xia Yan exclaimed in shock as the large stone sculpture was knocked over and smashed against the portal on the first floor.

As soon as Jiang Xiao was put down, Xia Yan shrieked and next, the massive object was smashed downwards…

Jiang Xiao suddenly felt that something was amiss. Why does this scene seem a little familiar?

He shook his head to clear his head and said, “I didn’t bring any spare Star Beads. Find me some corpses.”

Jiang Xiao then threw out a black Counter-current Light and shared vitality and Star Power with the hideous stone monster on the first floor.

Yan Zebin patrolled along the corridor on the second floor and saw several sculptures that had yet to be revived. Without uttering another word, he stabbed the sculpture with his spear that was emitting electrical current!

The gravel was scattered all over the ground. Although the skull was gone, its skin was restored to the gray state after it died.

Yan Zebin returned with a few corpses and threw them in front of him.

Jiang Xiao took the giant sword from Xia Yan and stuck it into the corpse before turning to look at her. “I need to be injured. Otherwise, I’ll be in an excessively supplemented state.”

At this time, Yan Zebin, beside her, suddenly lost balance and swayed from side to side. He then held onto the stone pillar in the corridor.

Jiang Xiao looked at Yan Zebin with concern, but he did not dare to use Blessing rashly. After all, it was too bright and would attract a large number of enemies.

Boom!

Yan Zebin swayed unsteadily from side to side and suddenly fell onto the ground before spitting out white foam.

“What’s wrong with you!?” Xia Yan exclaimed and hurried forward to investigate. With the flames in her hand, she finally got a clear glimpse of his face, only to realize that veins were bulging from his face which had already turned black.

Is he… poisoned?

When was he poisoned? Was it during the first wave of chaos when he and his team broke into Central Street?

He crushed the stone monster’s heart with his spear, only to have his right arm ruptured by the hideous stone monster.

Xia Yan saw that scene and bore it in mind. The black fog coming from the large claws were extremely shocking.

The dumbfounded Jiang Xiao froze and stood rooted to the ground. It was not because of the man who suddenly collapsed but because of Xia Yan’s shriek.

“What’s wrong with you?” This sentence…

When Jiang Xiao was on the first floor, he found the female he heard to be somewhat familiar.

Did that voice actually come from the future Xia Yan?

When they first entered the Dimensional Space, a shriek came from the second floor of the Dimensional Space above them, followed by a large object being smashed down from the second floor, almost crushing Jiang Xiao…

Wasn’t all that what Xia Yan just did?

What happened?

What…

Just as Jiang Xiao was bewildered, he heard another familiar female voice.

She said with despair in a shaky voice that was full of melancholy, “No, Xiaopi, don’t, wake up…”

In an instant, Jiang Xiao held his breath and felt himself getting the goosebumps as a chill was sent down his spine!
