Nine Star Burden

Leapfrogging, Skill Point +5.

–

He had struck a fortune!

Jiang Xiao finally knew how he should get some Skill Points.

How?

By sucking up and leeching off someone stronger!

Second Last’s thigh is really long and thick. How comfortable. 

Wonderful~

Accompanied by the sounds of the violent explosion beneath Second Last’s feet, the Chinese soldiers’ bullets disappeared instantly.

Because several shadows rushed upwards.

The Guardians Of The Night!

The strong mud walls had lost the support of Star Power and had become ordinary frozen mud. Under the strong impact inflicted by the Guardians Of The Night, the walls shattered.

When one’s opponent stopped playing by the rules and started shuttling around the maze maniacally, there would indeed be no other way to play the game.

Numerous shadows rushed into the maze and continuously broke the walls before finally finding their companions and joining the five mercenaries.

The mud wall had lost its “life” and could no longer be controlled by the mercenary corps. Hence, they had no choice but to use their Star Techniques out of desperation to resurrect the mud wall again. However, the effects of their Star Techniques were much weaker than that of the mercenaries who had died.

Moreover, the Guardians Of The Night had already rushed forth and they no longer had a safe and stable output environment.

Jiang Xiao had no choice but to secretly admire them. The Star Techniques that they used were really formidable and strong, for the mercenaries could use them to deal with the opponents while keeping their teammates safe.

What made Jiang Xiao feel even more amazed was Second Last’s sharp eyesight and shrewd assassination.

It was seriously amazing.

Second Last finally stopped gliding and the corpse beneath her feet was already crumbled. She leaned over and took out the Star Bead from the mercenary’s brain.

It seemed that she did not lie. The mercenary that she lured out alone was indeed the strongest, for it had a steel-like body and a strong defense which had indeed brought about great trouble to the snowfield soldiers.

In contrast, although the mercenaries were advancing forward, their defense was not that different from that of ordinary people.

The Guardians Of The Night following Second Last were rather dumbfounded as well. He suddenly stopped and stared at Second Last who was retrieving the Star Beads, wondering if he should attack.

Second Last turned around and stuck three fingers into her left arm to retrieve the bullet from her flesh. She then threw it onto the ground, seemingly not bothered by the wound on her arm at all. She did not bother about the blood flowing out either.

The Guardians Of The Night were a little stunned, but they soon saw Second Last raising her head and staring at the hill in the distance.

The Guardians Of The Night did not turn around and instead, watched Second Last while keeping their guards up. Even until now, he had yet to get a clear idea of Second Last’s identity.

At the next moment, a white ray of Medical light flashed past the bodies of the Guardians Of The Night and dived straight into Second Last’s body to heal her open wound rapidly.

“Jiang Xiao…” Second Last murmured gently, seemingly rather pleased with Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao’s timing and accuracy when launching Blessing and Bell were proof of his impeccable execution and judgment.

Second Last picked up the two skulls that were rolling on the ground while collecting the Star Beads. “Second Last.”

Her unique voice, combined with her huge size, instantly allowed the Guardians Of The Night to determine her identity.

At the same time, the Medical light was refracted backward, ignoring the injured ones on the battlefield.

“Where are the rest?” Second Last asked, though she did not sound inquisitive. Whenever she asked questions, her tone would be declarative, as if she was describing something.

“They are everywhere.” The Guardians Of The Night immediately stood upright in a standard military stance. It seemed that he was probably a soldier before he joined the Guardians Of The Night.

“Holy ground too,” said Second Last.

The Guardian of The Night answered respectfully, “Yes, Commander.”

“Give some aid to your teammates,” Second Last said, gesturing for the mercenaries to take action.

At the same time, the Medical light landed again while the clear and melodious sound of Bell filled the air before refracting one last time. It then healed Second Last’s body and jumped around.

The Guardians Of The Night looked down to see that a figure had climbed over the snow slope, following the trajectory of Second Last who once fell and rolled. She swiftly scurried and the bouncing Medical light cast on the figure’s body.

He was also wearing a mercenary costume. It seemed that the two of them were giving aid all around and invading the enemies’ internal teams.

The results seemed great on the surface.

However, Jiang Xiao did not remember seeing such a skinny military commander before.

Jiang Xiao scurried towards Second Last, who turned around and said in a hoarse voice, “Let’s go.”

“Com… Commander!” the Guardians Of The Night exclaimed, seemingly conflicted and hesitant.

“Yes?” Second Last asked while turning around to look at the young Guardian Of The Night.

“May I ask that you treat the rest?” the Guardian Of The Night asked after mustering up the courage.

Second Last paused and raised her head slightly. She then nodded and said, “Clear the battlefield quickly.”

“Yes.” The Guardian Of The Night was overjoyed and turned around to join the battlefield after passing through the layers of mud walls.

The mercenary corps had long broken into chaos.

While resting, Second Last tossed a Star Bead to Jiang Xiao and said, “One of the Rules’ Star Bead. Once you step into the peak of Stardust Stage and think that the time is right, use it to help you breakthrough.”

“Oh.” Jiang Xiao held the blue Star Bead tightly in his hand and could not help but feel a little agitated. All of a sudden, a piece of information filled his mind.

It was bedazzling.

Jiang Xiao was incredibly flabbergasted and vexed after seeing the Star Techniques.

They were all “Mud” related…

China is a vast country with great resources, but so is Russia! 

The first thing Jiang Xiao thought of at the mention was that the Soviet Union was full of gladiators and bears. Yet, he was given a pile of mud.

Did these guys grow up in mud? 

Are they mud dolls left behind in the village? 

Impressive. 

Are you a stinky mud? 

This isn’t a coincidence. 

I’m Kadabra and the woman beside me is Little Nezha who can step on wheels of fire.
