Nine Star Burden

Chapter 88: Single-Handed Dribbling

“Hai Tianqing, did Xiaopi make a correct analysis?” Xia Yan asked.

“Lass Xia, you must address me as Teacher.” Hai Tianqing drawled.

“Ah, you…” Xia Yan heard a massive sound as soon as she finished speaking.

Immediately afterward, the cell began quaking as if an earthquake had occurred.

Accompanied by a loud roar, the level of “Earthquake” continued to increase until the ground began to shake violently.

The team wriggled about, but their movements were restricted because their limbs were all buckled and shackled.

Jiang Xiao’s shoulder hit the stone wall and finally managed to regain his balance. However, the wall also seemed to come alive!

The hard stone wall was quickly covered with cracks and the stones beneath seemed to have become a mudslide, which constantly flowed away.

It was as if the world was truly ending. Within just a few seconds, Jiang Xiao’s ankles were already covered in the mud.

“Hai Tianqing! What are we going to do? If we go on like this… we’ll be crushed or buried here!” Xia Yan shrieked, after which she subconsciously tried to use Star Power and Star Techniques. However, the handcuffs were too overwhelming. They had cut off the Star Power supply in her body.

Bang!

The loud sound was still particularly abrupt and noticeable despite the chaotic noises produced by the quaking grounds.

A large figure then flew towards them.

Hai Tianqing yelled with a sullen expression, “Sir! Please uncuff us!”

The huge figure who flew in was the tall man who had just left. He rolled about on the ground, causing ripples as if he were making waves and surfing in the mud river. He could barely save himself. Why would he bother to save Hai Tianqing?

“Captain!” Hai Tianqing shouted loudly, his voice flooding the cave that was about to collapse.

Everyone was astonished.

Captain?

Ws Hai Tianqing also one of the Guardians Of The Night?

The tall man clutched the ground and tried to get up, but he swayed uncontrollably from side to side and seemed to be dizzy. Hearing the familiar voice, the man got a great shock and turned to look at Hai Tianqing.

“You know I can help you. You know what my abilities are.” Hai Tianqing stood up and maintained a considerably steady gait. He then stared at the man dauntlessly.

The man sprawled on the ground and remained silent for two seconds before tossing an electronic device at him. “Hurry up. They’re very powerful and they’re already rushing in.”

Hai Tianqing caught sight of the device and turned over nimbly, after which he grabbed it firmly, sandwiching the small blue object between his slender, jade-like fingers. He then turned his wrist and stuck it into the center of his handcuffs.

Ka-cha.

Hai Tianqing kicked the stone wall beside him, producing a soft thud.

Bang!

Jiang Xiao was already swaying unsteadily from side to side. Hai Tianqing’s kick caused him to fall onto the ground.

As soon as Jiang Xiao fell onto the ground, he felt that the stone surface was already engulfing his face and depriving him of the right to breathe.

Jiang Xiao then was hurriedly turned around and his spine was pressed.

He was dumbfounded.

Jiang Xiao braced his chest and lifted his head as hard as he could. Just as he was feeling stunned, the handcuffs behind him were released.

A burst of Star Power suddenly erupted from his body and he turned to look at his savior in joy, only to realize that he could not see anything.

What’s going on?

Paranormal activity?

Hai Tianqing rushed out of the broken wall. There was also a hole in the wall of Xia Yan’s cell.

At the same time, a phantom rushed in like a dexterous beast. Its long and narrow eyes were slightly reddish, with a white mist coming out of its mouth. His limbs were also pressed against the wall as he charged in.

“Second last! Behind you!” the man yelled after finally snapping back to reality. He managed to see the beast that was charging in and the hunter behind the beast!

The tall woman tensed her legs up and stepped on the cracked walls while advancing forward rapidly, causing there to be a hole in the wall. As the stones fell, her body smashed against the ground too.

However, there was no loud thud, and the agile woman nimbly turned over before standing up again.

However, at the instant that she stood up, a “mud dragon” emerged from the ground.

A huge pillar emerged from the ground and smashed into the top of the cave forcefully.

A rumbling sound filled the air…

After swaying from side to side, the broken cell finally collapsed.

As the ground moved up and down unsteadily, Jiang Xiao felt that his fate had been decided as rocks came crashing down on his head.

“I…” Jiang Xiao’s fist was covered with Green Glow and he tried to make the final effort, even if it may not help.

Giving up was not something Jiang Xiao would do.

“Xiaopi!” Han Jiangxue exclaimed but was soon pulled out of the cave quickly by Hai Tianqing who grabbed her by the wrist.

Li Weiyi shared the same fate as her.

Hai Tianqing did not have the time to unlock their handcuffs and could only take them with him as he left.

Jiang Xiao and Xia Yan seemed…

Fortunately, Xia Yan’s handcuff had already been removed.

After Jiang Xiao punched the boulder that was smashed onto his head, he felt his body swaying unsteadily and a massive force sent him flying.

Fortunately, the hand was pressed on his waist and he could still curl up. If it were pressed on his back instead, he would have probably broken his back.

It was too quick, way too quick…

Jiang Xiao felt like he was riding in a bullet train while the scenes beside him changed rapidly.

Unlike the comfortable environment in the bullet train, Jiang Xiao was in a terrible situation and he felt as if he was right outside the cabin.

Who did this to me?

Jiang Xiao was hunched and curled up like a shrimp while being dragged away, leaving him with no chance to turn around at all. The strong wind was making it impossible for him to open his eyes too. Hence, he had no choice but to look down, only to see a hand…

He could tell that it clearly belonged to a woman because it was much thinner, longer, and slender compared to men’s fingers.

However, the issue was that the hand was indeed a little large.

Jiang Xiao pressed his left hand on top of the big hand on the abdomen and his right hand on the woman’s arm. He seemed to have seen something through his shaky vision.

It was a dark shadow that was huge and burly like a heavy tank. When it stepped on the snow, it caused the snow to splash up, creating a daunting sight.

The “tank” was incredibly fast even though it looked clumsy on the surface.

In the dim sky, the man’s eyes exuded a faint light like a cold star, making them shudder.

Jiang Xiao felt like a cloud of fog was lifting his abdomen up. Before he could even react, he felt a painful strike in his head and the hand seemed to have found a way to conserve energy. He then grabbed Jiang Xiao’s head and charged forwards.

Boss, what tricks are you playing?

My scalp is turning numb… it really hurts!

Huff…

A light flashed on the pursuer’s body, and a Star Map was slowly exhibited. The pursuer stretched his left hand out and roared angrily while aiming it at the two prey in front.

The snow began to shudder.

The agile prey scurried swiftly and shuttled in the dark while moving left and right.

It was as if it was deliberately taunting them as the footsteps landed on the snow.

Not only is the huge cat running away, but it’s also bringing the fish that it has stolen too.

Okay.

To be more specific, it’s salted fish…
