Nine Star Burden

Chapter 662: Return

Third Watch, 12th, 17th, 20th.

…

In the blink of an eye, a month and a half had passed, and it was now mid-December.

With the joint efforts of the wasteland reclaimers and the Jindalai Army, the peninsula had passed through a difficult period and finally ushered in the dawn.

In fact, half a month ago, at the beginning of December, everyone had already seen hope.

It was on the 3rd of December when Jiang Xiao and his team cleared the boundary line that was nearly 100 meters away and cleared the space gate that had bloomed on the boundary line. On the 4th of December, the seventh team rushed to the battlefield again and found that the boundary line that had been cleared was still clean and no space gate had bloomed at night.

From that moment on, Jiang Xiao knew that the most dangerous time had passed and the mission was about to be completed successfully.

Obviously, the time of the frequent appearance of dimensional spaces had passed. After half a month of consolidation, the soldiers had held on to the victory. Until December 16th, the territory of the kindalai was quiet, safe, and stable.

…..

At this point in time, Jiang Xiao and the others were no longer just destroying the dimensional spaces. Instead, they began to do something within their capabilities, such as “dumping garbage.”

With such a large-scale space blooming, it was easy to imagine how deeply polluted the place was by the flower-type astral beasts.

Both the star techniques of the hibiscus and the lily of the valley were too special and threatening, which was why Jindalai had given the order.

The soldiers also followed the instructions and gathered all the flower beast corpses together. However, they were not allowed to bury or burn them. Instead, they had to dump them into a different dimensional space to ensure that they would not pollute the Earth’s environment and that no accidents would happen again.

Han Jiangxue had become a member of the “moving club”.

Of course, she didn’t know how to use the door to heaven, but she knew how to teleport …

When the soldiers were transporting the corpses back and forth in trucks, Han Jiangxue got the soldiers to pile the corpses of the flower-type star beasts together under Jiang Xiao’s instructions. With a black space teleportation, a “small hill” would be teleported to the designated space gate.

Then, the jindalais soldiers who used wind-series star techniques blew the flower beast back into the space gate.

Such a scene also made Jiang Xiao think of many things. The appearance of the gate of the dimensional space seemed to have also given the garbage produced by humans on earth a place to go?

In any case, for this lower dimension, closing it would mean completely losing contact with earth. It seemed to be a “small capital with great benefits” matter?

Whether it was during the war or after the war, the performance of the seventh wasteland reclaimer team was extremely eye-catching. Through practical actions, they won the gratitude and admiration of the soldiers at the bottom level, and also made the higher-ups of Jindalai’s side praise them.

Jiang Xiao and the rest were working so hard, partly because of their status and because they were carrying out a mission. On the other hand, Jiang Xiao did have some other plans in mind. He wanted a medal!

Jiang Xiao also wanted all the members of the team to receive medals, which would also be a good start for the other three in their military career!

From October 25th to December 16th, for more than 50 days, team seven worked hard and fought bravely for 40 days. The remaining ten days were also post-war work.

During this period of time, two major events happened.

The first major event was that Xia Yan had broken through the initial stage of the Galaxy realm and entered the middle stage!

After a long and arduous battle life, Xia Yan finally touched the threshold of the middle stage of the Galaxy and entered it.

Besides, this was done when Jiang Xiao injected star power into her, and she had yet to enter the transformed ruins of calamity to cultivate.

The second major event was the ruins of calamity that Jiang Xiao had modified.

The facts had proven that he could really do it!

During the second half of the mission, the situation on the peninsula would no longer be critical, and Jiang Xiao could also make some small plans.

Xia Yan had seen such a scene countless times before. Jiang Xiao threw out five rays of counter-current light and connected them to five flower-type star beasts, absorbing their star power frantically. He then reached out his hand and poured star power into his own ruins of calamity.

Under Xia Yan’s protection, Jiang Xiao successfully completed the transformation of the ruins of calamity and shadow.

When Xia Yan first entered the ruins of calamity, the air was as thick as water and she almost suffocated.

Unlike air, star power could not flow rapidly.

The thick and viscous star power would float in a fixed place, like a cloud without color and only had a vague shape.

In the end, it was only with the help of Xia Yan’s frost Wind Star technique that the dense star power was blown to all parts of the ruins of calamity.

How big was the ruins of calamity?

It was as big as half a football field!

How much effort did Jiang Xiao put in to transform that place to such an extent?

To Jiang Xiao, all of this was worth it. If he were to “soak” in such an environment for a month or two, he would definitely benefit a lot even if he didn’t practice.

If one had to count, Jiang Xiao’s complete graduation of three star techniques could also be considered a major event. Ever since the “secondary image” was upgraded to the highest star quality, Xia Yan’s tough days began …

Han Jiangxue was in a better state. After all, she and Jiang Xiao were not in the same group. However, Xia Yan had suffered greatly.

The highest quality secondary image could allow Jiang Xiao to become the humanoid creature he wanted to be within the range of his height, which was positive or negative 10 cm.

In the end, Jiang Xiao still couldn’t transform into 72 different forms. He couldn’t transform into a butterfly and couldn’t have a qualitative difference with his own form.

However, Jiang Xiao could already transform into another person.

Imitation and change were two completely different things!

After you put on a disguise, what’s the highest evaluation people would give you for your skill?

Like!

Terms like “similar” and “passing off the fake as the real” were more or less the highest evaluation of disguise.

The highest quality STAR technique, the secondary phase STAR technique, had already gone beyond the scope of “image” and reached the level of “yes.”

This was no longer passing off the fake as the real, this was the real thing …

When Xia Yan saw the other Xia Yan holding a giant sword and killing the enemy wantonly, she was deeply distressed and almost self-depreciated.”

I’m the fake one, right?

Why is she as hot-tempered, quick-witted, and sharp-eyed as me?

From head to toe, from habits to small movements, from eyelashes to fingernails …

The most terrifying thing was that Jiang Xiao’s voice was exactly the same as Xia Yan ‘s. The words he said, his tone, and his posture really made Xia Yan break down.

Xia Yan felt aggrieved and realized that “Jiang Yan” was better at talking than she was. She laughed and scolded, with a heroic spirit and unique arrogance. She was simply a perfect Star Warrior.

There was a secret in Xia Yan’s heart. Her idol had become herself. To be exact, it had become “Jiang Yan.”

Xia Yan had been completely educated by Jiang Xiao. The two of them looked exactly the same and had the same hardware facilities. However, in terms of software facilities,”Jiang Yan” was the best version of Xia Yan.

Every move, every frown, every smile, every movement, every expression … Even Jiang Yan did not do anything and just stood there. Her powerful aura seemed to let Xia Yan see her best state.

Filled with grievances, envy, admiration, anger, and other complicated emotions, Xia Yan began to make a scene with Jiang Yan. Since then, Jiang Yan never appeared again, and Jiang Xiao did not dare to have any more fun …

Unfortunately, even though his height could be changed within 10 centimeters and his body shape could be greatly changed, Jiang Xiao still couldn’t become the perfect second last.

The 182-cm Jiang Xiao had not grown in a long time and was very angry …

Second last, who had turned into a 192-year-old, was already mighty and heroic enough in the eyes of outsiders. However, she was undoubtedly a weakling compared to the original.

Although Jiang Xiao promised not to provoke Xia Yan and transform into her again, his voice made Xia Yan speechless.

As the battle went on, Xia Shanhai’s voice was suddenly heard from behind. Who could stand this?

It was Xia Yan’s first time hearing her father say,’very good! You’re my daughter indeed!” At the same time, Xia Yan, who was stepping on the lily of the valley’s corpse and getting ready to bend over to get the star bead, was so frightened that she almost fell into the lily of the valley’s arms …

On the 18th of December, team seven completed their mission and returned to the base camp.

If there were no accidents, this was the way back.

In the military camp, Jiang Xiao and the others saw some special faces, which made him once again certain that they were finally going home.

Those special faces were the faces of children holding flowers in their hands.

There was no award stage, and there was no ceremony.

Jiang Xiao’s team of four teleported back and entered the central tent. As expected, Chen qidao’s order to return was issued at the same time, and Jiang Xiao and the others were the first to return.

The moment they entered the tent, they heard a few words that they did not understand.

After that, a few little fellows ran over with flowers in their hands, giving Jiang Xiao a great shock. He thought that they were the hibiscus people in disguise …

How could there be a child in the military camp?

Are you kidding me?

It couldn’t be helped. He had been on a mission here for too long, so he was suspicious of everything. Gu Shi ‘an’s eyes turned into two pupils on reflex. Without saying anything, he broke the illusion.

In the end, he did not succeed in breaking it, because he was a human child.

They raised their hands timidly, holding the flowers and handing them over.

Han Jiangxue didn’t move and instead looked at Chen qidao. Jiang Xiao squatted down and took the flower with a smile before gently rubbing the child’s head.

Gu Shi ‘an and Xia Yan took the flowers one after another, while the little boy standing in front of Han Jiangxue pursed his lips and looked like he was about to cry. He stubbornly raised his head and raised his hands, holding the flowers up.

“Answer.” Jiang Xiao reached out and tugged at Han Jiangxue’s pants before saying,”

Han Jiangxue hesitated for a moment before bending over to take the flower.

Chen qidao walked into the tent and saw the scene. He smiled and said,””They wanted to invite us to hold some celebration party, but the teams still had missions to do, so I rejected them. You’ve done your job well. As for how the two parties will communicate later, that’s up to the higher-ups to decide. We won’t be participating. ”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

Chen qidao nodded in satisfaction.”Let’s rest for a while. We’ll board the plane at three in the afternoon.”

The group of four found a corner and sat down.

As the teams of wasteland reclaimers returned, Jiang Xiao saw the children sending flowers to express their gratitude again and again. He also saw the reaction of every wasteland reclaimer.

It was rare for such a warm scene to happen in this serious military camp.

Children were always innocent, pure, and cute. They could always break people’s defenses.

Qian baiwan, the captain of team two, had the biggest reaction. He could tell that he was also a carefree and easy-going person. He was probably a “problematic youth” like Jiang Xiao.

Qian baiwan not only took the bouquet of flowers, but also picked up the child and threw him into the sky.””Whoosh!”

Although Chen qidao wanted to scold Qian baiwan, he stopped himself when he heard the kid’s laughter.

Jiang Xiao turned to look at Han Jiangxue and asked softly,””You don’t like children?”

Han Jiangxue glanced at Jiang Xiao and said,””You’re already enough to give me a headache. ”

“Pfft … Hahaha …” Xia Yan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Han Jiangxue glared at Xia Yan and explained to Jiang Xiao,””I’ve been fighting here for almost two months. I’m too vigilant. ”

Upon hearing her words, Jiang Xiao heaved a sigh of relief and mumbled softly,””That’s good, that’s good …”

Han Jiangxue was speechless.
