Chapter 10 Minutes Later

He Yun stood with his hands clasped behind his back, in front of a large tree.

Jiang Xiao, holding the giant blade, was working as a lumberjack.

While swinging the giant blade, Jiang Xiao looked at He Yun, who was acting as the foreman, and said helplessly, "It's a waste of resources, Senior He. This knife is for killing people, not for cutting down trees."

He Yun leisurely said, "I gave you a chance, but you weren't up to the task?"

Jiang Xiao was taken aback, "Oh? Is your melon guaranteed to be ripe too?"

He Yun: ???

Seeing He Yun's bewildered expression, Jiang Xiao smiled awkwardly, "I thought you were exchanging secret codes with me."

He Yun ignored Jiang Xiao's wild thoughts and said, "I told you to follow her just now, but you didn't use any of your skills. I wanted to let her see your abilities, but now... Forget asking for her name, she didn't even acknowledge you."

*Chi! Chi!*

Jiang Xiao continued to chop wood, saying, "You know her strength better than I do, right? How could I have a chance to intervene?"

He Yun: "Alright, alright, just use Qing Mang to chop it twice and be done with it."

*Chi!*

The giant blade swung horizontally, and a giant tree that even three people couldn't wrap their arms around slowly fell to the ground.

Jiang Xiao grinned, "Let me state in advance, I don't know how to build a boat. Also, don't you have any space-related Star Techniques? This continent isn't guarded by any army, no one is stopping you from looking for space Star Techniques, right?"

He Yun patiently explained, "There are many restricted areas in this world. We are not the same as you. You are the bait, and we only have one life."

Jiang Xiao: "Uh..."

He Yun snatched the giant blade from Jiang Xiao and started working on the giant tree, saying, "In fact, if you didn't absorb any space-related Star Techniques in the lower dimension, then you won't have any in the future."

Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment. This theory...was a bit interesting, huh?

He Yun added an explanation, "In the upper dimensions, in the alien planet, we don't even have time to avoid space-type Star Beasts."

Before Jiang Xiao could speak, He Yun continued, "This continent is relatively stable now because of the rules here. The Star Beasts in each area have a very strong sense of territory. Except for a few highly aggressive creatures, most Star Beasts will stay in their own territory."

"Alright," Jiang Xiao casually responded, continuing, "I can turn into a large raven. I can carry you to Lu Dong. Don't worry about me getting tired. I once carried that heavy bamboo bear for a long time."

He Yun said without looking up, "Every journey has its reasons and significance. You will see some interesting things at sea. This is also a journey of exploration for you."

Jiang Xiao shrugged indifferently, turned his head, and looked into the distance. He saw the blind girl sitting quietly on a giant rock. Although her eyes were covered, she was still looking at the distant horizon.

He Yun said while working, "Go, don't keep muttering here. Show your young people's skills in making friends. It's getting dark soon. I need to quickly build the boat so we can hurry on our way before dark."

Jiang Xiao: "Pfft..."

He Yun scolded with a smile, "Leave the dagger, get lost!"

Jiang Xiao scratched his head and turned to walk towards the sandy beach.

Jiang Xiao really didn't know how to start a conversation with this blind girl who never spoke.

Of course, Jiang Xiao's skin was thick enough, but the key was that this girl was too strange.

You could say she was "cold," but she wasn't really cold. She and Han Jiangxue were completely different types of Star Warriors.

The blind girl possessed such powerful strength, but she kept her edge hidden. Even during the battle just now, she didn't seem to have any powerful aura. If Jiang Xiao hadn't seen what she did with his own eyes, he would have probably thought she was just a well-behaved deaf-mute child.

Jiang Xiao swore that if it were Er Wei, when she was fighting on the battlefield just now, she would have already intimidated everyone around her, making them tremble.

This blind girl was very quiet. Like her appearance, her heart was also that quiet, perhaps even silent.

She didn't bring pressure to anyone around her. She was in a high position, but she didn't show disdain or contempt. She might not even have any opinion of Jiang Xiao.

She was just immersed in her own world. She probably partnered with He Yun because this world was too dangerous.

Jiang Xiao racked his brains, thinking about how to pry open her mouth...

Should he try a different approach?

*Pu pu pu...*

Jiang Xiao suddenly transformed into a raven, flapping his wings and flying over. He circled above the blind girl's head twice, hesitated for a long time, and finally didn't dare to land on her shoulder. Instead, he chose to land beside her.

The black raven raised its small head, glared with its solitary scarlet eyes, and looked at the blind girl who was as still as a statue of a faithful wife waiting for her husband. It opened its long beak, "Caw~"

The blind girl didn't react, as if she hadn't heard anything...

The raven's small feet hopped and came to her side, gently pecking at her palm resting on the stone.

Finally, the blind girl moved!

She slowly raised her hand and flicked her finger.

*Dong!*

The finger that flicked the raven's head even carried a trace of Qing Mang.

"Caw..."

With a swoosh, the raven was flicked away...

When it landed, it had turned into the bait Jiang Xiao. The bait Jiang Xiao covered his head, his eyes were teary, and his head was buzzing.

Unresponsive to both soft and hard approaches, who could stand this?

Was it time to use the bamboo bear to save the world? Did she have to force him to use his ultimate move? Should he call up his original body and smear the bamboo bear on her face?

The bait Jiang Xiao rubbed his head and walked over, saying, "So you only respond to rough treatment?"

The blind girl silently turned her head, although her eyes were covered, it was as if she was sizing up Jiang Xiao.

The bait Jiang Xiao continued, "If I beat you up, you'll be able to speak?"

The blind girl retracted her hand and gently placed it on the giant rock.

Jiang Xiao stepped on the giant rock, looked up at the blind girl, and said, "Hey, seriously, I have a healing Star Technique. Want me to heal your eyes?"

The blind girl remained silent.

Jiang Xiao wondered, "You and Senior He have been teaming up together for so long. You've been through countless battles. I believe he has healed your body more than once. And using healing Star Techniques on a chaotic battlefield wouldn't be like normal. Senior He wouldn't deliberately and accurately heal a certain part, allowing the healing Star Technique to avoid your eyes, so..."

The blind girl slightly raised her head. Jiang Xiao noticed this subtle movement.

Jiang Xiao continued, "So there's nothing wrong with your eyes. You're just deliberately covering your eyes."

After the words fell, there was silence, only the sound of He Yun chopping wood in the distance.

After a few seconds, the blind girl suddenly reached out her hand towards Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao blinked, but saw a flower of ink slowly blooming in her fair palm.

Jiang Xiao: "..."

Was this a reward for a correct guess?

The blind girl's arm froze in mid-air, as if she had turned into a statue again.

Jiang Xiao said awkwardly, "Thank you, I don't want it."

Nonsense!

Who the hell would want this?

If Jiang Xiao took it, his hand would be inked, and then completely shattered.

The blind girl silently lowered her head, clenched her hand, and crushed the faintly blooming ink flower. Black ink flowed out of her fingers.

The drops of ink fell on the stone and instantly corroded that small piece of stone. Cracks appeared on the surface of the stone, making Jiang Xiao feel extremely lucky.

Good thing he didn't reach out to take it!

Jiang Xiao said softly, "May I ask, what Star Technique is this? Where does it come from?"

The ink in the blind girl's hand turned into specks of starlight and dissipated into the air. She raised her head again and looked at the distant horizon...

He Yun's voice came from afar, "Let's go, let's go to Lu Dong!"

As he said that, He Yun raised the "wooden boat" with one hand and walked towards the sandy beach.

This also rescued the extremely awkward Jiang Xiao. He hurriedly stepped forward, took the "wooden boat" from He Yun's hand, quickly walked to the beach, and placed it by the water, saying, "Senior He, you directly carved this boat out of a big tree. You don't even need a nail."

He Yun nodded, "A small matter."

Jiang Xiao smiled and said, "The more I look at this boat...the more it looks like a bathtub?"

Three black lines crossed He Yun's forehead, "Stop talking nonsense, let's go!"

The trio got on the boat one after another. He Yun handed Jiang Xiao two simple oars, "Let's go."

Jiang Xiao stood up and was about to support the ground and move the "bathtub" away, but saw the blind girl leaning against the edge of the wooden boat, one hand reaching out...

*Dong!*

With a muffled sound, a small air cannon helped Jiang Xiao a lot.

Jiang Xiao held the oars in his hand, a little at a loss. Did this girl have a wind-type Star Technique?

Wouldn't it be better to directly blow the three of them to Lu Dong?

Was it because the journey was too far?

Alright, let's row!

Wasn't it just paddling? He was good at it!

After paddling a dozen times, Jiang Xiao found some tricks, and the speed became faster and faster.

This sea area was really calm. The sun had already set, and the moonlight shone on the sea, creating a bright reflection in the water.

It had a rather poetic and picturesque tone.

A dozen minutes later, Jiang Xiao actually discovered that small lanterns were appearing on the slightly dim sea area around them.

They traveled in groups in the sea, occasionally showing their heads, curiously looking at this "sea bathtub."

Jiang Xiao finally saw their appearance clearly. These colorful small lanterns were actually fish, and they were a group of fish with light bulbs on their heads.

They looked a lot like the "lion head goldfish" on Earth, but their heads were bigger and emitted colorful light.

Jiang Xiao's eyes were blurred. Was this a bit beautiful?

A few seconds later, the lantern group surrounding the bathtub suddenly went out, and the surrounding sea area fell into darkness again, leaving only the white moonlight.

"Something is approaching," Jiang Xiao said with a solemn expression.

He could detect this abnormality. The other two big shots had already discovered it, but no one was talking.

He Yun said, "That's a kind of large fish. I don't know what it's called. Anyway, I've never seen it on Earth. They are very docile. I've been traveling by sea for so long, and I've never seen them hurt..."

*Whoosh!*

The waves exploded. Jiang Xiao didn't even see what it looked like clearly. All that was left in his eyes was the bloody mouth and the dense, sharp teeth!

This sudden scene obviously exceeded the blind girl's expectations. She didn't have time to think about Tian Duo and instinctively jumped away. He Yun followed closely, and Jiang Xiao also barely jumped up.

The blind girl's first reaction was indeed to escape and jump, but the action of force is mutual. While she jumped up, she also kicked the bathtub down...

The two Star Warriors jumped high, Jiang Xiao followed. In an instant, the bathtub and the three of them were covered by the big fish's mouth.

In desperation, Jiang Xiao immediately transformed into a raven.

In his line of sight, the two Star Warriors quickly darted out, escaping the fish's mouth, while the dense teeth were still rapidly closing.

"You've got to be kidding me?" Qing Mang appeared on the raven's long beak, aimed at the not-yet-closed fish mouth, and violently flapped its wings.

*Crack!*

The huge figure rushed out of the sea, heavily falling back into the sea.

The water exploded, the waves surged...

The blind girl threw out a phantom long whip, directly entangling He Yun, who had nowhere to borrow strength in the air, and then used an air cannon with one hand, and the two of them flew high again.

And He Yun's expression... um... was very awkward.

In the one-eyed raven's view, it and the bathtub were crushed by the dense, sharp teeth...

On Earth, in the duty room of the administrative building of the Imperial Capital Star Warrior University.

"Damn it!" Jiang Xiao suddenly stood up, picked up the book on the table, and threw it on the table.

Han Jiangxue hurriedly stood up, concerned, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xiao subconsciously looked at Han Jiangxue, his face was awkward, and he hurriedly waved his hand, "It's nothing, nothing..."

What was wrong?

What could be wrong?

Would she believe him if he said he was eaten by a fish?

Even if she believed him, he couldn't say it. Did he, Jiu Xing Du Nai, not need face?

Could He Yun be trusted?

Slapping his face was fine, but this was risking his life?
