Nine Star Burden

Chapter 454: Glory and Homecoming

“Damn it!”

In the snowfield holy ground, Jiang Xiao, who was slashing with his sword, suddenly gritted his teeth and sent a white Ghoul flying with a sullen expression.

This action made second last secretly surprised. Jiang Xiao actually didn’t defend the corner of the holy ground but rushed out with his sword.

Five counter-current lights were thrown out from his body again, and four white ghouls and one white Ghoul witch were stunned on the spot.

The bodies of the five creatures of other dimensions trembled violently, clearly having entered a state of leveling up.

Jiang Xiao charged forward and waved his giant sword repeatedly, releasing all the green glow. All of a sudden, the White ghouls that were swarming forward were all flipped over.

Not only were they flipped over, but Jiang Xiao’s blade also attacked their vital parts. Under the effects of the powerful attack of green glow, the group of thick-skinned white ghouls died one after another.

Second last could sense that Jiang Xiao was acting strangely and she yelled,””Little Jiang.”

He saw that the young man was harvesting star beads frantically without any intention of retreating.

After losing Jiang Xiao’s protection, second last, who was in the corner, began to be harassed by the White ghouls and had no choice but to join the battle.

…

This brass-quality creature couldn’t bring her any trouble, but Jiang Xiao’s actions made her a little worried.

“Roar!” A white Ghoul charged towards second last and tried to tear her apart with its sharp claws.

Second last’s body suddenly turned into a mist, which was torn apart by the White ghouls. The thick mist drifted away and appeared behind Jiang Xiao.

“Little Jiang.” Second last’s hoarse voice was heard again, and the thick fog instantly pieced together to form a human figure that patted Jiang Xiao on the shoulder.

Jiang Xiao’s subconscious action was to turn sideways and elbow the person behind him.

The movement was very small, but the speed of the elbow strike was extremely fast, carrying a little green light.

Second last’s eyes narrowed and her body turned into mist again, escaping the fate of being sent flying by the elbow.

The fog penetrated Jiang Xiao’s body and formed in front of him.

It was also at this moment that a giant blade suddenly stopped on her forehead.

Jiang Xiao’s face was sullen and he held the handle of the sword tightly with both hands while staring at the person in front of him.

It was shocking and dangerous.

Second last stared at Jiang Xiao’s eyes and said,””Let’s talk. ”

Jiang Xiao hesitated for a moment and waved his hand, after which the door of the ruins of calamity and shadow opened instantly. He then walked in.

Second last strode forward and followed him in.

Just before the gate of the ruins of calamity closed, another group of white ghouls rushed in.

They bared their fangs and brandished their claws, their eyes filled with ferocity.

Second last raised her silver spear and a strong gust of wind with frost blew them away.

In a corner far away, Xiao Xiao, who was lying down, stood up hurriedly. With a cry of joy, she ran over, only to find that something was wrong.

Its good friend did not seem to be in the mood to play with it today.

Jiang Xiao loosened his grip and the sword fell to the ground. He then sat on the ground.

Second last looked around and swept her long spear, blowing the lava Ghoul witches and Savage witches to the other side.

“Phew …” Jiang Xiao took a deep breath and placed a hand on his forehead before wiping his face with all his might, as if he was trying to make himself more awake.

“He’s dead,” Second last walked towards Jiang Xiao and looked down at him while speaking in a hoarse voice.

“Yes.” Jiang Xiao grinned and sat cross-legged on the ground. He placed his elbow on his knee and rested his face on one hand. He then tilted his head and closed his eyes.

Second last said calmly,”seven days. That’s a long time.”

That’s right,

Seven days was a long time.

If you know what I’ve been through in the past seven days, you’ll think it’s been even longer.

Ever since Jiang Xiaowu encountered the group of white Ghoul witches led by the White Ghoul witches, a Great Escape had begun.

Fortunately, when the White Ghoul witch discovered Jiang Xiaowu, she was under the cliff, which gave Jiang Xiaowu some time to escape.

However, as natural hunters, the White Ghoul witch and its white Ghoul underlings had keen instincts and an extreme desire for prey.

Jiang Xiaowu had dodged the enemy’s pursuit time and time again, but she was discovered by the enemy again and again.

The absolute difference in physical fitness made Jiang Xiaowu feel miserable. In the seven days that she had been dealing with the “hunters”, Jiang Xiaowu had longed to have a STAR technique more than once. Even if it were any one of them, perhaps her situation would not be so bad.

That’s right, the worst that could happen was death.

It was easy to say, but if anyone had personally experienced it, they would probably not be able to stand there and talk like this.

What made Jiang Xiaowu feel even more defeated was that the ‘night’ that she had engraved all along the way had become useless.

The next time he went to the upper dimension, he didn’t know where he would be teleported to. The snowy plains in the upper dimension were so vast that it made him feel despair.

Second last looked down at Jiang Xiao indifferently and said,””You’ve already done very well. You don’t have to do this. ”

Jiang Xiao sat cross-legged, but he lowered his elbow and hung his head. He then expressed assent.

Second last frowned slightly. She could hear a perfunctory tone in his voice, and even … He was dissatisfied.

Second last asked,”why?”

“What’s the meaning?”Jiang Xiao asked.

“What?” second last asked with raised eyebrows.

Jiang Xiao lowered his head and said in a soft voice,””What’s the point of me doing this?”

Second last looked at Jiang Xiao quietly and did not respond.

Jiang Xiao shook his head and said,”my plan was reckless. I don’t have the ability to draw a map. I don’t even have the ability to protect myself. I’m running away all the time.”

So what if they found him? I Can’t Find My Way Home either. Do I have to say hello to them? Listen to their stories? Ask them if they had any unfinished last wishes? Is there anyone else you need to take care of?”

Second last suddenly squatted down and touched Jiang Xiao’s cheek with one hand. She then raised his face and said,””Perhaps, meeting them is the meaning.”

She knew that he wasn’t angry at her, but was blaming himself, or even denying himself.

Looking at Jiang Xiao’s silent expression, second last sighed and said,””The star warrior’s education system has turned us into people who value results. But in this world, not everything would have an end.

Have you ever thought that the process of finding them is the process of realizing the value of your life?”

Jiang Xiao moved his head and broke free from her hand. He lowered his head again and said,””Including the last time, I’ve died 29 times. Other than the one time I saw a wooden house, I only saw snow for the other 28 times. Only snow.”

Looking at Jiang Xiao’s desolate appearance, second last was surprised to find that her heart ached a little.

In the past 26 years of her life, she had rarely felt this way. The last time she felt this way, she was still an innocent child and had not yet begun this cold career.

Second last said softly,”let’s go back. The uniqueness of the upper dimension has determined that you can only fight alone. When you are strong enough, we will return here. ”

Jiang Xiao shook his head and said,”there are still a few days left. You can rest here. I’ll go out and get some star beads. I can feel that the quality of green glow and endurance are improving.”

Upon hearing his words, second last rubbed Jiang Xiao’s head gently.

Jiang Xiao’s response gave her a lot of information, not only about the improvement in his strength, but also to tell her that he was not dissatisfied with the special training and did not lose himself in the endless killing. He just felt a little frustrated in the missions in the upper dimension.

He had only been defeated, but not completely crushed.

Second last stood up and looked around, only to feel that there was something wrong with the number of people around her. She said,””Let’s go. Same old, I’ll accompany you. ”

“Lulu …” Xiaoxiao finally found an opportunity to get closer and look at Jiang Xiao, who was sitting on the ground. It couldn’t help but lean its head forward and rub it against Jiang Xiao’s cheek.

Jiang Xiao touched its head while opening the internal star map, which showed the clear data:

Green glow, platinum quality level 8 (60/1000).

Endurance, platinum quality level 8 (60/1000)

According to the upgraded silver white Ghoul star beads, he would still need to slaughter nearly 200 white ghouls.

200?

Two days was enough. If he didn’t need to rest, he could finish it in a day.

Second last said again,”reduce the number of Savage witches by three.”

After saying that, Xiaoxiao buried her head into Jiang Xiao’s arms. She was clearly a horse, but she was acting like an ostrich …

If the first death of two Savage witches could be considered a small failure to control the battlefield, then the death of another Savage witch in the following days could be considered a small dereliction of duty.

Jiang Xiao was also awoken by its small movements and exited the internal star map, feeling its big head constantly rubbing left and right in his arms while acting coy …

Jiang Xiao looked up, only to see second last’s fierce gaze instead of the chaotic battlefield.

Jiang Xiao held his little head in his arms and said,””This place is so small and there are so many monsters. It’s inevitable to have casualties.”

Just as second last was about to say something, Jiang Xiao suddenly changed the subject and said,””Maybe we should bring a hot air balloon in.”

“Hot air balloon,” second last said.

“Yes.” Jiang Xiao stroked Xiaoxiao’s mane and said,”white ghouls and white Ghoul witches can’t fly.”

However, second last’s attention was really diverted. She said softly,””You want to lower the difficulty of your training.”

Jiang Xiao was stunned.

In an instant, he realized that he was different from second last.

Jiang Xiao entered with the intention of finding someone.

However, second last didn’t have such a pure purpose. Apart from finding someone, did she also want Jiang Xiao to accept the experience? Endure all this suffering and tribulation?

“Luan Hongying, you want me to die,” Jiang Xiao said.

Second last pursed her lips. She rarely had such small movements because of her stiff facial expression.

“You have an advantage that ordinary people don’t have. Death will make you a powerful warrior.” She said.

Jiang Xiao raised his voice.”You’ve never died before. You don’t know the specific effects.”

Second last said,”no, I died before. You were the one who saved me.” It’s in this snowy plain, under this starry sky. ”

Jiang Xiao frowned deeply.”So, you think death is a rare experience?!”

Second last said,”it will make you work harder to live. Just like you said. Live harder.”

“Hehe.” Jiang Xiao humphed and said,”that’s you. It’s only once.” You and I can’t be compared. What if I get used to it?”

Second last shook her head and said with a determined look,””I don’t think so judging from your performance all this time. You’ll never get used to it. On the contrary, you’ll realize that the price you have to pay every time is higher than the last. ”

Jiang Xiao opened his mouth, but he didn’t know how to respond.

Second last said,”one day, you’ll move from the battlefield to the battlefield. You’re destined to encounter difficulties, dangers, and desperation.”

Second last looked at Jiang Xiao quietly.”You’ll cherish everything you have.” She said.

“Do you think it’s our fate to be wrapped in horsehide?” Jiang Xiao asked.

“It’s an honor,”second last said softly after a moment of silence.

“Since it’s not fate, why are you so pessimistic?” Jiang Xiao asked.

Second last’s face turned stiff again and she no longer had any expression or response.

She simply looked at Jiang Xiao quietly and placed one hand behind her head while twirling the dark red hair tie with her fingertips.

Looking at the child who had given her warmth time and time again, she silently said in her heart,”

Because, if that day really came,

I hope …

I’m the one with the glory, and you’re the one who’s returning home.
