Chapter 161 The Land of Black Earth

The obstacle in front of her suddenly vanished, and the Starlight Girl lurched forward, staggering a couple of steps before regaining her balance.

"We won?" The Starlight Girl's face was filled with joy as she happily raised her hands, leaping high into the air. "Yay! We won! Oh! Oh! We won!"

With each joyous leap, the earth trembled three times.

The remaining Ape-Devils scattered and fled, quickly disappearing into the birch forest. Seeing this scene, the Savage tribe also cheered loudly.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

Jiang Xiao held the Ape-Devil King's Star Bead in his hand, feeling the earth tremble beneath his feet. He walked out of the birch forest step by step and saw the group of people cheering near the graveyard.

A real graveyard rave!

Jiang Xiao repeatedly called out to the Starlight Girl, "Don't, don't jump anymore, stop bouncing..."

"Wow! Quan Quan, you're so amazing!" The Starlight Girl leaped over in one bound, her huge Starlight feet nearly crushing Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao subconsciously raised his arms. As the girl's foot landed, dirt and dust billowed out, and Jiang Xiao retreated repeatedly.

And from within the dust, a petite girl slowly walked out.

From 16 meters to 1.6 meters, the visual difference was enormous.

"My mom said there are many powerful people in the world, and it's true!" The girl skipped and jumped in front of Jiang Xiao, wiping her nose and looking him up and down. "Hurry up and take off your mask so I can see."

But Jiang Xiao shook his head.

It wasn't that he didn't want to take it off, but that he couldn't.

The decoy summoned by the original Jiang Xiao in disguise could only maintain this appearance.

"Take it off now, or I'll kill you!" The girl bared her teeth, revealing two cute little tiger teeth.

Jiang Xiao was speechless. "I just helped you."

"Eh?" The girl put a finger to her lips, looking thoughtful. "Oh yeah, my mom said I have to repay kindness."

Jiang Xiao's heart stirred. "Where is your mom? Take me to see her."

The girl's expression stiffened slightly, and she suddenly fell silent.

Jiang Xiao asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

The girl's eyes dimmed slightly. After a long silence, she said, "My mom's gone, she doesn't want me anymore."

Jiang Xiao's heart tightened slightly, and he didn't know what to say.

The girl suddenly raised her head, grinned, and showed a silly smile on her cute little face. "There are many Savage uncles and aunties here, and they all like me!"

Jiang Xiao knelt down and looked up at the girl. "Do you have any other family members? Your dad? Human companions or anything like that?"

The girl shook her head. "I don't have a dad. I have many Savage companions, and they play with me every day. I don't need a dad."

Jiang Xiao's heart ached slightly. He raised his hand and ruffled the girl's hair. "How old are you this year?"

The girl held up her little hand, counting on her fingers. "After my mom left, 3 winters. I'm... fourteen years old this year."

Fourteen years old!?

A Star Warrior!?

Good heavens, that's incredible.

Others only awakened at 16, but you're already a Star Warrior at 14?

And judging from the state this girl was in when she was fighting the Ape-Devil King just now, her Star Power realm should be very high!?

Wait a minute, at 14, how did this girl enter the Alien Ball?

Could it be...

Jiang Xiao tentatively asked, "Were you born here? Born in the Alien Ball?"

The girl nodded. "Yes, my mom said this place is called Beijiang. I was born in Beijiang."

Jiang Xiao sighed deeply. "When did you awaken? When were you able to use Star Power and Star Techniques?"

The girl grinned. "I awakened the day my mom left! I'm already a Star... Star River, right? Peak Star River! I'm amazing, aren't I!?"

Awakened at 11! A genius among geniuses!

Three years!

Peak Star River! Is this the cultivation speed of the Alien Ball!?

Han Jiangxue awakened at 16, and it also took her 3 years to advance to the early stages of the Star River during the final national competition stage in high school.

Moreover, Jiang Xiao was very certain that this lovely girl wasn't the type to cultivate madly. Judging by her personality, she probably liked to play and didn't spend most of her time cultivating Star Power.

It was obvious that the Alien Ball environment was pushing her forward...

Three years, forcefully pushed to the peak of the Star River!

"Amazing, amazing, you're very amazing." Jiang Xiao gently rubbed the girl's head and asked with a smile, "What's your name?"

"You go first!" the girl said.

Jiang Xiao: "My name is Jiang Happy... uh, no, my name is Jiang Xiao."

"Jiang Xiao?" The girl looked around, broke off a branch from the shattered and collapsed birch tree trunks, and carefully wrote the Chinese characters on the ground: Jiang Xiao.

Looking at the crooked characters, Jiang Xiao took the small branch and rewrote it: Jiang Xiao.

"Not as good as mine. Look carefully." The girl scribbled on the ground and wrote three large characters: He Chongyang.

The girl casually threw away the branch, proudly puffing out her chest. "Chongyang Festival! It's said to be a human holiday. My mom said I was born on this day!"

"Okay, okay." Jiang Xiao nodded repeatedly and looked behind him. A group of Savages surrounded them.

"This is my uncle," the girl said, pointing to the Savage male witch, and then pointed to the Savage female witch, "This is my aunt!"

As she spoke, the girl pointed to the group of Savage male spearmen. "This is my eldest brother, this is my second brother, this is my third brother, this is my..."

"Okay, okay." Jiang Xiao hurriedly stopped her and asked curiously, "Can you tell which one is which brother of yours?"

"Eh?" The girl was stunned for a moment. "Eldest brother?"

A Savage male spearman walked out and looked down at the girl.

"Oh, right, this is my eldest brother." The girl looked confused and smiled sheepishly. "Second brother?"

"Ah, haha, this is my second brother." The girl pointed to the male spearman who came out of the crowd, scratching her head in embarrassment. She had pointed to the wrong ones just now... "Where's my third brother?"

None of the Savage male spearmen stepped forward.

"Third brother? Where's third brother?" The girl was slightly stunned and hurriedly ran over, her small body moving back and forth in the huge Savage male spearman crowd, searching, her voice becoming more and more anxious. "Where's third brother?"

The Savage female witch walked over. Her intelligence allowed her to fully understand what was happening.

The Savage female witch walked into the male spearman crowd, knelt down, stretched out her arms, and pulled the girl into her embrace.

"Third brother... third brother..." The girl's little head looked around, her eyes filled with panic. The little face that was always smiling had drooped down, and mist gradually rose in her almond-shaped eyes. "Waa... waaa..."

The Savage male witch suddenly pushed a male spearman.

"Third brother's gone, third brother..."

"Cough, cough." The Savage male spearman who was pushed out coughed.

The girl hurriedly raised her head from the Savage female witch and saw the Savage male spearman who had stepped forward. Instantly, a smile bloomed on the girl's lovely face. "You scared me! I thought you left like my mom, and didn't want me anymore!"

Hearing the girl's words, Jiang Xiao's heart trembled lightly.

He finally realized what the girl meant by "My mom's gone, she doesn't want me anymore."

Her mom didn't leave her, didn't depart, but died...

"This is my fourth brother..." The girl wiped away her tears and smiled through her tears. Her emotions came and went quickly, and she continued to introduce her family to Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Okay, okay, let's clean up the battlefield first, and introduce them when we get back."

That "third brother" was clearly not the real third brother, but someone who had been pushed out to impersonate him.

If He Chongyang continued to count like this, she would count out more people who had "left" her.

The Savage female witch picked up He Chongyang. Although the girl was over 1.6 meters tall, she was indeed just a child in front of the huge Savage female witch.

This fourteen-year-old girl had a strength that was shockingly high due to her upbringing.

But also because of her upbringing, she couldn't be compared to the fourteen-year-old children on Earth.

It wasn't that her intelligence was low, but that she had grown up in a Savage tribe since she was a child. Her experiences, knowledge, and knowledge reserves, etc., couldn't be compared horizontally with the fourteen-year-old children on Earth. This was unfair to her.

The girl lay on the Savage female witch's shoulder, pointing to the Savage female archers who followed behind, stubbornly introducing Jiang Xiao: "This is my eldest sister, this is my second sister..."

"Okay, okay." Jiang Xiao nodded repeatedly and noticed that the Savage female witch and the female archers didn't stay at the graveyard, nor did they stay at the battlefield, but left directly.

And the Savage male witch led the male spearman team and was cleaning up the battlefield.

It seemed that their division of labor was very clear.

And judging from the Savage male witch's small movements just now, Jiang Xiao clearly realized that their intelligence had reached a certain level.

From this perspective alone, Jiang Xiao could no longer treat them as a kind of Star Beast, although... their pupils were eerily purple, although they looked the same as the Savages in the lower dimension.

And the destination that the Savage female witch was taking Jiang Xiao to also confirmed the thoughts in his heart.

They... might have been guided by an expert, or they might have evolved to a certain extent.

They weren't in a completely hunting era. There were already shadows of an agricultural era here.

Because after passing through this dense birch forest, Jiang Xiao saw a fertile land.

On Earth, black soil was synonymous with the northern plains. It seemed to be the same here.

Jiang Xiao didn't recognize what kind of crop it was, but as the team approached a river, on both banks of the river, Jiang Xiao saw those neatly arranged strange crops, like a kind of low-lying fruit tree, on which pale purple, thorny fruits had already grown.

Some Savages guarded here, working in the fruit forest. Because of their huge size and the fruit trees being too low, they could only bend over or kneel to break off the branches of the fruit trees.

As they moved forward, the Savages' way of life surprised Jiang Xiao even more.

This river seemed to be the Savages' "Mother River." A team of Savages held woven fishing nets and wooden harpoons, fishing in the river.

Jiang Xiao was stunned by the scene in front of him. He had never been to the upper dimension of the Armory, but at least in the lower dimension Armory, he had never seen any fish in the river.

Looking at their skilled techniques, it was obvious that this wasn't the first time the Savages had fished like this.

Jiang Xiao took a deep breath. Even though there was a graveyard, an inappropriate building, he still thought this was a nomadic group.

But what he saw and heard completely opened the door to a new world for Jiang Xiao.

Alien Ball, how many layers of your veil are there left...
