Chapter 172 The Ancient Royal Mausoleum

He had a clean-cut buzz cut, was tall and thin with a slender build, and wore a white T-shirt with four large characters printed on it: "Tianjin Hooligan."

But this kid didn't look like a hooligan at all. He had a friendly smile on his face, but somehow he looked a bit... cheap. His aura was something else.

He was cheerful and seemed talkative. He was about to say something when he was scolded by the middle-aged woman. The rest of the team had just finished their meal and left the restaurant led by the middle-aged woman.

Jiang Xiao secretly sized up the team, and they did seem familiar. He felt like he had seen pictures of these people before.

It wasn't until the team left that Jiang Xiao withdrew his gaze.

Hai Tianqing brought the topic back: "This time, Little Pi's Silence will come in handy."

"Mm..." Jiang Xiao nodded secretly.

The reason why the Ancient Royal Mausoleum was dangerous and disliked by Star Warriors from all sides was because the Other Dimension creatures here appeared in groups, as they were all social creatures.

What was even more terrifying was that these Gold-rank Boss-level creatures might appear before people's eyes leading an army, or there was a certain chance that they would appear as a group.

Creatures like the Ancient Martial Army were very special. They had grayish-white skin, like rotten corpses, but they were living, intelligent Other Dimension creatures.

Even with their fragmented bodies revealing bare bones, they could still hunt and move normally, which amazed people with their tenacious vitality.

Their infighting was very frequent. There was almost no such thing as a racial force; all there was was mutual attacks and hunting between teams.

Yes, these creatures also ate the flesh and blood of their own kind.

Speaking of the Ancient Royal Mausoleum, one must mention its iconic creature: the Ancient Martial Soul.

It was a Gold-rank big shot with four-star skills, almost all of which were related to "bones." Moreover, the Ancient Martial Soul's Star Techniques were like a fish in water in the Ancient Royal Mausoleum, with a very obvious home-court advantage.

Bone Remains, Bone Shield, Bone Wall, Bone Prison - it was a control-type, defense-oriented magic creature, and it also came with special "healing" effects.

This was also one of the reasons why the Ancient Martial Army was so disgusting. Why were so many Ancient Martial Army guys missing arms and legs, beaten to the point where they couldn't take care of themselves, but they could still stand up and walk briskly, and their combat power was not reduced at all?

It was all because of the existence of the Ancient Martial Soul, because of the existence of the "Bone Remains" Star Technique.

Missing arms and legs? The Ancient Martial Soul's Bone Remains could make newly grown bones ready for use immediately, without any break-in period.

Such a Star Technique was undeniably powerful, but very few people absorbed it.

Why?

Limitations!

The description of the Bone Remains Star Technique was very clear: it accelerated the growth of the Ancient Martial Army's body bones. This Star Technique was only targeted at creatures like the Ancient Martial Army.

Jiang Xiao had the Inner Vision Star Chart and the experience of his predecessors, so he would not absorb such a Star Technique, but when the Ancient Royal Mausoleum was first developed, many officers and soldiers wasted their Star Slots on this Star Technique.

Moreover, Bone Shield, Bone Wall, and Bone Prison were also very limited. Their application required gathering surrounding corpses and wreckage.

So, the Ancient Martial Soul was both disgusting and troublesome.

Putting the Ancient Martial Soul aside, the Star Technique that Jiang Xiao had always coveted was the Ancient Martial Archer's Star Technique.

The Ancient Martial Archer's Star Techniques didn't need explanation. Just looking at the name, you could understand what kind of effects they had: Explosive Arrow, Freezing Arrow, Plague Arrow, and Sacrifice Arrow.

The Sacrifice Arrow needs a little explanation. It was a large-area arrow that disturbed people's hearts. Being exposed to the arrow's energy fluctuations would cause a certain degree of mental damage to the body.

These arrow-type Star Techniques were all Silver quality, but the Ancient Martial Archer was a Gold-rank Other Dimension creature, and its Star Orb was Gold quality.

In other words, with just one Ancient Martial Archer Star Orb, Jiang Xiao could upgrade all four arrow techniques to Gold quality at the same time.

Should he... really change to a ranged DPS?

Anyway, Jiang Xiao had the Inner Vision Star Chart, and his archery skills could be trained to become master-level, so he didn't need to consider talent issues.

However, this Ancient Royal Mausoleum was unique in the world and only existed in Chang'an City. In Jiang Xiao's hometown, it was impossible to come into contact with this type of Star Orb.

Not to mention Jiang Xiao's hometown, even if Jiang Xiao went to the Imperial Capital in the future, he probably wouldn't be able to get his hands on the Star Orbs here.

This time, Jiang Xiao was able to enter and fight here by the light of the National High School League. Next time he came to Chang'an, it was hard to say whether they would even let him in.

Large quantities and cheap prices were impossible, but it seemed that four Gold-quality arrow techniques were enough?

It was really distressing.

Why did he, as a healer, always have a heart that wanted to DPS?

Was it because of Xia Yan... That's right! It must be because of her! If her DPS was a little more berserk, how could he always be thinking about DPSing?

The group chatted for a few words and decided to return to the hotel and find a quiet place to discuss in detail and formulate a battle plan. If possible, it would be best to find a suitable training place.

As for the Ancient Royal Mausoleum, forget about it. There were only three Ancient Royal Mausoleums around Chang'an City, and they were not open to civilian groups due to their danger, let alone now.

The group returned to the officially designated hotel, and before they even entered, they saw two neatly dressed bodyguards protecting several teenagers walking over. The leader spoke quickly and politely: "Sorry, excuse me, thank you, excuse me."

The five-member group was a little surprised and stopped. The two bodyguards escorted several young men and women wearing sunglasses into the hotel.

"What's this? Celebrities?" Xia Yan said with a playful expression, teasingly, "This outfit is full of Korean style."

"Are they celebrities?" Jiang Xiao said uncertainly, "I feel like they're participants from our session?"

Xia Yan was stunned for a moment, but it was possible. After all, there were four young men and women just now.

Jiang Xiao and the others didn't take it seriously and then walked into the hotel. As soon as they arrived at the elevator hallway, they were stopped by two bodyguards.

"What are you doing?" Xia Yan's temper flared up immediately.

"Sorry, please wait here for a while and take the elevator later." The man in the suit said.

Jiang Xiao: ???

What you said was polite, but the content was very unfriendly, wasn't it?

Did you open this hotel?

Why do you have special privileges?

Just now, Jiang Xiao was thinking that the other party should be low-key. Now, Jiang Xiao understood that they didn't care?

Xia Yan looked inside and said, "There are eight elevators here. Can four of them use all of them?"

The man in the suit didn't respond and just stood in front of the group.

"Get out of the way, I'm telling you, my little temper..." Before Xia Yan could finish speaking, a familiar young voice came from behind.

"Eh? We meet again." Just as the atmosphere was tense, a team of five with standard equipment walked over.

Jiang Xiao looked over, and it was the team he had encountered in the restaurant.

A middle-aged female teacher with two boys and two girls.

The young man who was speaking was the buzz-cut boy wearing the "Tianjin Hooligan" shirt.

He sized up the scene with a strange expression and said in a Tianjin accent, "What's the meaning of this? Not letting us pass?"

"Oh? Isn't this Liu Yang?" In front of the elevator doors in the distance, a boy wearing sunglasses looked at the buzz-cut boy.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk..." The buzz-cut boy, who was called Liu Yang, was obviously a chatterbox. He kept "tsking" and sized up the Korean-style young man wearing sunglasses from head to toe. "Who is it? Lee Howard?"

The sunglasses-wearing young man made it impossible to see his eyes. He imitated the Tianjin accent and mocked in a strange tone, "Liu Yang! Little brother! When did you become Tianjin's number one?"

Liu Yang returned to his normal tone, with a hint of Beijing accent, obviously a native of the Imperial Capital: "Who are you calling little brother? Have your hairs grown in yet? Let me tell you, watch your mouth."

"Watch my mouth? Watch my mouth?" The Tianjin hooligan's mouth was so broken that it was indescribable. "Are you managing me?"

The sunglasses-wearing young man: "You little bastard, looks like you're asking for trouble today..."

The two of them went back and forth, one more sarcastic than the other, one more foul-mouthed than the other.

Jiang Xiao's head was buzzing. He suddenly took a step forward. The black-clothed bodyguard reached out to stop Jiang Xiao. Jiang Xiao stretched out his hands, one bodyguard in each hand, whoosh!

Bang!

With a gentle push, eight meters away!

The two bodyguards crashed into the sunglasses-wearing young man who was waiting for the elevator. The hallway was immediately a mess.

The other three young men and women who were traveling with them dodged but saw Jiang Xiao walking towards them with a gloomy face. The three of them tensed up and were secretly on guard.

Jiang Xiao came to the three of them. Under everyone's gaze, he slowly raised his hand and gently pressed the elevator button.

Everyone: "..."

Jiang Xiao: "Calling the elevator requires pressing the button."

Ding!

The elevator had always been on the first floor. As soon as Jiang Xiao pressed it, the elevator doors opened directly.

The few young men and women seemed a little embarrassed and couldn't stand such a farce. They helped the boy who was hugging the two bodyguards up and quickly walked into the elevator.

"Big brother! You're awesome!" Liu Yang walked over and grabbed Jiang Xiao's hand. "You're skilled!"

Jiang Xiao: ???

Seeing Liu Yang's happy face, he introduced himself: "I'm from Tianjin, Hexi District. My name is Liu Yang, AkA Tianjin Hooligan!"

Jiang Xiao's right hand was tightly held, so he could only scratch his head with his left hand. After thinking for three seconds, he replied: "I'm from Beijiang, Jiangbin City. My name is Jiang Xiaopi, AkA Beijiang Bandit!"
