Nine Star Burden

Chapter 389: Tell me your story

Black Flame Demon Star bead (gold quality)

Star techniques:

1. Black flames: black flames burn the user’s body, causing their HP to continuously burn and decrease. This greatly increases the user’s strength. The user will feel intense burning pain. This associated negative effect ignores all dispelling, purification, and buff States. (Silver quality, upgradeable)

2. Black flames: when in the state of black flames, due to the large increase in strength, when attacking, the user may use power that is beyond the acceptable range, which may hurt the user and cause the user to be unable to move. This associated negative effect ignores all debuffs, purifications, and buffs. Passive STAR technique that does not need to be activated. (Silver quality, upgradeable)

3. Fear of the black flames: when attacked, share the pain and suffering of the black flames with the attacker. Passive STAR technique that does not need to be activated. (Silver quality, upgradeable)

4. Black Flame weapon: consumes a large amount of stellar energy to enhance the degree of burning of the black flames. According to the user’s will, a Black Flame weapon can be condensed. This weapon needs the support of black flames to continue to exist. (Gold quality, upgradeable)

Do you wish to absorb them together?”

Jiang Xiao held the star bead in his pocket and the introduction of the star techniques appeared in his internal star map.

Jiang Xiao was in disbelief when he saw the second star technique. Even though he had read the introduction of the STAR technique in the book, Jiang Xiao was still dumbfounded when it actually appeared in his mind.

This was the first time Jiang Xiao had seen a STAR technique that would give him a negative effect after so many battles. It was a passive STAR technique that did not need to be activated and would accompany the Black Flame demon for the rest of its life.

…

If the Black Flame demon’s third star technique,”Black Flame fear”, was the root of the pain in the Black Rock Mountain, then its second star technique,”black flames”, was the root of the star bead’s worth.

No one would absorb the Black Flame demon’s star bead, as everyone had a limited number of Star Slots and each one was extremely precious. If they were to absorb a negative STAR technique, it would not be worth it.

If you want a powerful gold quality STAR technique like the “Black Flame weapon,” the Black Flame ghost, the second gold quality creature on the Black Rock Mountain, can fully meet the requirements of Star Warriors. Besides, the Black Flame ghost doesn’t have any passive negative star techniques.

“Slow down, teacher hu hu, slow down …” Sun Xiaosheng shouted in dissatisfaction. No matter how hard she tried, the bald man was getting further and further away from her.

The order that Baldy Hu had just given was for those who fell behind to stand in a military posture for an hour.

Not to mention running with weights, even if they were to rest here, the scorching temperature would make it hard for them to breathe, let alone training here.

It was easy to go up the mountain, but difficult to go down. The group had already crossed the mountain peak and ran down the mountain.

If they continued to train like this, they would run out of water. Was this also a test?

Jiang Xiao licked his dry lips and said,””Strictly speaking, we don’t need any food or water. My blessing can help you recover your life.”

Cai Yao’s face lit up. She looked at the young man running in front of her and asked,””Really?”

Jiang Xiao replied,”yes, but it can only maintain your life and vitality. It can’t alleviate your thirst and hunger.”

“It’s good enough that we’re still alive,” said le Yue in a carefree manner.”We’re on the Black Rock Mountain after all. Hunger and thirst are nothing compared to our lives.”

Sun Xiaosheng held half a bottle of mineral water in her hand. She tried to hold it in, but did not open it. However, she seemed to have found something and said as she ran,””Eh? Teacher hu hu has stopped. ”

“Did we run into another Black Flame demon?” le Yue’s expression changed.

Jiang Xiao smiled and turned around.”You should pray that we encounter Black Flame demons. We’ve already destroyed it once. We just have to do the same.”

Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but sigh.

The feeling of pain lingered in Jiang Xiao’s mind for a long time. If … If even he, who had the blessing, had to endure such pain, then Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan …

It would be great if they were in team one. At least they could help stabilize their condition.

You two … How was he now?

While Jiang Xiao was thinking, the team had already caught up with the bald man.

“Ha, so it’s a quagmire,” sun Xiaosheng said.”Should we take a detour?” This quagmire can ‘eat’ people. ”

That’s right, the red quagmire in the black stone mountains could really eat people. If one accidentally stepped into it, one might not even be able to pull it out.

The bald man looked around and saw steep black cliffs. It seemed like there was only one way to go, unless these people had wind-series star techniques.

Baldy Hu said,”our next target is supply point No. 7. This is the shortest route. If we take a detour, it will take a lot of time. You guys decide on your own.”

“Look, little fire clay. He’s so cute.” Sun Xiaosheng blinked her big eyes, as if she had forgotten her hunger and thirst. She tilted her head and carefully observed the “bubbles” that emerged from the dark red quagmire.

Cai Yao’s eyes also flickered with a trace of memory.”When I was young, my dad took me to our little clay paradise. They were very comfortable to pinch.”

“That’s the little fire clay that has cooled down,” sun Xiaosheng said hurriedly.”Don’t touch it now, it’s very hot.”

Although it was called little fire clay, it was a huge mud ball about the size of a yoga ball with a diameter of at least 80 to 90 centimeters. If a human held it in their arms, their arms would not be able to close.

Of course, if you were to squeeze hard … Another count.

It was different from the mud balls on earth. The surface of this mud ball was dark red, but it was translucent. People could see the dark red Star power flowing inside it, and they could also see the dark red mud flowing back and forth in the bubbles.

What made little fire clay even cuter was that this translucent, dark red “mud ball” had a pair of bright, lava-colored eyes and a small, round mouth.

Pachi!

Little fire clay jumped in the quagmire as if it was flat ground. When it fell, it splashed mud around.

The next moment, another little fire mud emerged from the quagmire. It seemed to be dissatisfied with being disturbed. It opened its round mouth and spat out a mouthful of mud.

The slowly flowing mud in its translucent stomach suddenly decreased by a portion.

Pfft …

Little fire clay, who was causing trouble, was spat on the face. Its bright lava-colored eyes couldn’t help but close tightly. It opened its small mouth, ate a mouthful of mud on the ground, and then spat it out.

The two little clay figurines spat mud at each other. Neither of them could cause any damage to the other, but they were having a lot of fun.

Jiang Xiao and the rest were standing not far away to their left, and the two little fellows didn’t seem to have any sense of crisis at all. They didn’t care about any other creatures at all and were just bickering with each other like kindergarteners who were rolling around in a puddle.

Suddenly, one of the little clay figurines changed its playing style. It jumped up like a bouncing ball and jumped in front of the little clay figurine that was still spitting mud.

Pachi!

Little fire clay used its round body to smash the head of another little fire clay. It even flattened the little fire clay and pressed it into the mud below.

As if it had won, it blinked its large lava-colored eyes and jumped up happily, splashing mud everywhere.

Little fire mud, who had been suppressed, quickly climbed back up. Unwilling to admit defeat, it also jumped towards the cheering winner.

The two disobedient children had turned this quiet dark red quagmire into a complete mess. Finally, someone couldn’t bear to watch any longer!

A huge ball of mud slowly emerged from the quagmire. It wriggled continuously and approached the two small fire mud.

“Ya, these two little guys are going to be crushed.” Sun Xiaosheng seemed to have been here before and was familiar with what was about to happen.

However, sun Xiaosheng’s prediction failed. The huge mud ball opened its mouth and swallowed the two small mud balls one by one.

On the other hand, the big fire clay was similar to the small fire clay. The skin on the surface was also a translucent dark red, so … Therefore, people could see that the two small clay figurines were still fighting in the big clay figurine’s stomach.

That’s right, they didn’t realize that they were being eaten. They were still jumping around in the stomach of the Great Fire clay, trying to smash each other. They were having a lot of fun.

Even the big fire clay couldn’t stand the churning in its stomach. It opened its mouth and spat out two small pieces of fire clay and the quagmire …

Pachi! Pachi!

The two disobedient children heavily smashed into the ground. Did they really become two pools of mud?

Jiang Xiao and the others hurriedly retreated, afraid that they would be scalded by the hot mud.

Slowly, the two puddles of mud on the ground wriggled and once again pieced together into two round little fire puddles.

The word ‘danger’ should not exist in their life dictionary.

Little fire clay and the Black Flame demon that everyone had seen before were creatures from two different worlds.

From their appearance to their thoughts, their style was completely different from the Black Flame demons.

They did not feel pain, did not hunt, and did not know what ‘becoming stronger’ was. They only knew how to play happily.

When the two little clay figurines saw the five strange creatures, their eyes widened and they jumped toward the group.

“The wild little fire clay is very hot, you must not touch it.” Sun Xiaosheng took a few steps back with a look of lingering fear.

Sun Xiaosheng’s retreat attracted the attention of the two little fire clay figurines. They pouted and “teary” eyes as if they had been abandoned. They kept jumping towards sun Xiaosheng, asking for a hug …

“You guys, don’t come over. Go away, go away. If you come any closer, I’ll smash you …” Sun Xiaosheng waved her hands and hit the two little fire clay figurines with the Black Star pendant.

The transparent skin of the two cute little guys that wanted to be hugged was instantly smashed open, and the mud inside the ball splashed everywhere as it exploded into pieces …

Le Yue and Cai Yao were both dumbfounded. Sun Xiaosheng actually attacked such a cute creature?

Jiang Xiao also grinned and thought to himself,”Based on the level of hatred, this little girl … Was he scalded badly?

Sun Xiaosheng could clearly feel everyone’s gazes on her. She blinked her eyes and pouted her lips, looking aggrieved. Her expression was almost the same as little fire clay.

Sun Xiaosheng said,””Don’t look at me like that. They’re really hot, really, really hot. You can’t play with them while sitting down …”

Sun Xiaosheng subconsciously covered her butt with her hands.

Jiang Xiao remained silent for a while before saying to sun Xiaosheng,””Tell me your story.”

Sun Xiaosheng was speechless.
