Chapter 4 Fourth Update

The team retreated as they fought, Xia Yan and Li Wei were incredibly well-coordinated. His shield and her giant blade were extraordinarily effective. With Han Jiangxue's help, they withstood wave after wave of attacks.

Each member of this team demonstrated great value, and the entire team had a palpable chemistry.

Han Jiangxue blew away the surrounding wild men time and time again, keeping them constantly on the run, ensuring that only 2-3 wild men could engage Li Wei in close combat.

Jiang Xiao's poison milk also greatly contributed. Each time a beam of light fell, in the moment the wild men were stunned, the giant blade in Xia Yan's hand, burning with flames and mixed with violent star power, would fall, and a wild man would die on the spot.

After a chase that lasted for six minutes, the wild men's offensive gradually weakened. Han Jiangxue keenly noticed that with the death of their companions, the wild men began to think of fleeing, and their attacks were no longer as resolute as before.

Jiang Xiao absorbed the last few white ghost star beads in his pocket, and his Azure Glow and Endurance both reached Gold quality Lv.1 ().

Inside his inner star map, the "Silver Ten Kills" skill point had long been credited.

At this rate, it would be difficult to replenish his star power. Without Jiang Xiao's star power support, it would be difficult to heal the team's wounds.

Absorbing the female archer's star beads was also a method, but Jiang Xiao had a better solution.

"Give me the corpse of the wild witch," Jiang Xiao said from behind Han Jiangxue.

Han Jiangxue was stunned for a moment. In an instant, many thoughts flashed through her mind. The wild witch's star techniques were quite good, not only providing sustainability but also weakening the enemy's overall strength.

After thinking it over, Han Jiangxue took out the wild witch's corpse and handed it to Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao drew the dagger from his waist. After a series of battles, he no longer had much resistance to slaughtering this type of humanoid creature.

The dagger stabbed into the back of the wild witch's head, quickly slicing it open. Jiang Xiao took out a star bead from the inside and casually threw the corpse on the ground.

In an instant, several pieces of information appeared in his mind.

Ever since learning about the wild witch's star techniques from books, Jiang Xiao had coveted these two skills for a long time!

"Female Wild Witch Star Bead (Silver Quality)

Possesses Star Techniques:

1. Yearning: Halo technique, allowing units within the halo's range to inflict a Hatred effect with each attack, and absorb the enemy's lost life force and star power to replenish itself. (Silver Quality, upgradable)

2. Dawn: The Yearning halo always favors and chases after that ray of dawn. (Silver Quality, upgradable)

Merge and absorb?"

This Dawn skill was interesting, like Cheng Yin to Zhong Ling.

Once the user activates the Yearning halo, it does not distinguish between friend and foe within the halo's range. All targets will have the effect of losing star power and life force, which is then absorbed and used to replenish the user.

However, after Dawn is activated on certain targets, the Yearning halo will only "favor" and "chase" those target units that have Dawn.

Jiang Xiao was overjoyed. This Yearning skill was simply an upgraded version of Hatred, not only having the Hatred effect but also absorbing the other party's lost life force and star power for his own use.

What's more, this was a halo technique, a range skill!

It could be used for his own team, and also, if he didn't want to give it to others, Jiang Xiao could completely activate Dawn only on himself. Even if there were more people within his halo, only Jiang Xiao would enjoy the effects of the Yearning halo.

Without a doubt, Yearning, coupled with Dawn, was a comprehensive, all-around upgrade of Hatred.

The last star slot of the four-star slot in the Star Dust stage was his!

Jiang Xiao directly merged and absorbed these two star techniques.

Above the Big Dipper star map, the fourth star slot was finally lit up.

Just as Jiang Xiao was about to test the effect, he heard Xia Yan shout angrily, "Hey! What are you doing!? That's what we hunted!"

The corpses of wild men were lying all over the place along the way. If the wild men took them, Xia Yan wouldn't say anything, but a team had appeared in the distant jungle?

They were wearing camouflage uniforms like Jiang Xiao's team, which was obviously the uniform required for entering the trial. One of the bald men without a camouflage hat was squatting on the ground, skillfully cutting open the head of a wild man.

Hearing this, the bald man turned his head and glanced at Xia Yan, who was being besieged by wild men, but did not respond.

Han Jiangxue flicked her fingers lightly, and the bodies of three wild men flew out again, which fulfilled the wild men's wishes. They did not chase after them but turned and ran away.

"I'm talking to you! Baldy! Don't take our things!" Xia Yan shouted angrily.

The bald man obviously did not expect this battle to end so quickly. Seeing the four-person team in the distance glaring at him, he sneered and said, "Little kids, I don't have much star power left. I need to replenish it."

"Then go hunt your own, what's the point of stealing other people's things?" Xia Yan took the lead and walked up.

Seeing that something was wrong, Li Wei hurriedly followed.

Han Jiangxue frowned slightly, and Jiang Xiao quickly moved forward.

Hearing the word "steal," the bald man was obviously unhappy. He was probably 40 or 50 years old, with a gleam in his eyes, and said, "Killing a few wild men is just a piece of cake for you."

Xia Yan was immediately speechless, "Saying it's a piece of cake should be said by the giver, not the beggar."

The bald man stood up, looked at Xia Yan with gloomy eyes, and said in a sinister voice, "Little devil, you want to make a big deal out of it? It's just a wild man star bead."

"Just? Just a wild man star bead?" Xia Yan stomped her feet angrily, "This is also what the giver should say, are you being generous with other people's things here?"

"Little girl, you're not young, but you have quite the temper." The bald man said in a sinister voice, "Saying giver and beggar over and over again, do you lack family education?"

"You!" Xia Yan picked up her knife.

In an instant, the four people opposite them also made defensive gestures.

"What? Want to try? I'll teach you a lesson for your dad." In front of the four-person team, the bald man absorbed the star bead he had taken from the wild man's head.

Xia Yan's chest rose and fell with anger. Behind her, a voice suddenly came.

Finally, she received support!

Xia Yan vowed that she had never liked Jiang Xiao's mouth so much!

This little mouth was simply like it was coated in honey...

Only to hear Jiang Xiao say, "Baldy, your family education is quite strict. Did your parents teach you to steal things?"

The bald man's face darkened, and he was hit hard by this sentence, becoming angry and furious: "Kid, are you tired of living? Who are you talking to?"

Jiang Xiao smiled and said, "I'm talking about you, you don't need to doubt it. Tell me your name, and I'll scold you by name."

The faces of the four-person team opposite him were slightly strange. As social trainees, they had seen all kinds of storms, and each of them was an old fox.

They followed the traces of the wild men all the way here, but they did not expect that this group of wild men was fighting with other human teams.

The bald man observed the situation in secret, intending to be the oriole behind the mantis, and found that these young people were quite strong, and they actually repelled these wild men.

The bald man, who had done so much useless work, was a little unwilling. Seeing that these were another group of young people, he stepped in and snatched the star bead. He thought that these children would suffer in silence, dare to be angry but dare not speak out, but he did not expect that these children would be so fierce and want to be so tough?

Were they a group of hotheads?

Or were they young calves who were not afraid of tigers?

Were they really a group of newly awakened children?

The bald man suddenly laughed, almost making Jiang Xiao think that he had been scolded silly by himself.

Only to hear the bald man say, "They're just a group of hotheads after all. You just went through a battle, you're covered in injuries, and your star power is in extremely poor condition. Are you really planning to fight us?"

The bald man sneered and walked towards another wild man's corpse under the eyes of everyone, seemingly not taking these children seriously.

Jiang Xiao suddenly raised his hand.

Silver Quality Star Technique * Zhong Ling!

Ding ling ling...

A jumping medical light wave was directly attached to Xia Yan's body, shuttling back and forth among the four-person team, rapidly healing the wounds on the four people's bodies.

The bald man's face froze, and his pace slowed down slightly.

Did they really have so much courage?

Were they really going to fight?

Were they going to risk their lives for a few star beads?

Han Jiangxue's cold voice suddenly came out: "Prepare for battle, defend against the enemy."

Whoosh...

Jiang Xiao raised his right fist high,

Silver Quality Star Technique * Yearning!

Within a radius of 20 meters, a dark golden halo suddenly lit up under the feet of the four people. The four small halos were about the size of large truck tires, appearing under the feet of each of the four people, and circles of dark golden circles surged inward from the outside.

Jiang Xiao released his fist and pointed in the air.

Silver Quality Star Technique * Dawn!

Within the dark golden circles under the feet of the four people, clock-like scales suddenly appeared. The time scales composed of dark golden lines flickered with a faint light.

One of the scales suddenly turned bright gold and rotated clockwise.

The bald man's pace towards the second corpse stopped, and his gloomy expression instantly became solemn.

Were they badly injured?

Was their star power in extremely poor condition?

On this buzz-cut-haired kid, the bald man seemed to see two bright red words: Sustainability!
