Yu
Chapter 786 Target: Stars
After decorating the Ruins of Calamity Shadow nicely, Jiang Xiao left the Snow Plains and returned to his home in Jiangbin City, continuing to wait patiently.
Although the crops and other items had arrived, the star beads from the Kingdom of Xima had not yet.
To Jiang Xiao's surprise, Er Wei called...
"What's the situation? Give me a few more days, and I'll be able to rejoin the team immediately." At home, Jiang Xiao held his phone, immediately stating his position.
"You don't need to come back, you can return to school." Er Wei's hoarse voice came through.
Jiang Xiao was slightly stunned and said, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Er Wei: "I handed over the body and truthfully reported the situation to the higher-ups, including the method of contacting the Xing Organization member named 'Ash.' The higher-ups have already contacted the capture team and handed over the body, exchanging information. Everything else will be handled by professionals."
Jiang Xiao laughed and said, "I'm not professional enough?"
Er Wei answered irrelevantly: "The higher-ups gave me important instructions. Our Wei Yu Team is about to return to China. I'm to guard this last post well."
"Uh?" Jiang Xiao scratched his head and said, "You're returning to China? I see the situation in Kang Ke Jinde..."
Er Wei: "Yes, although the opening of the other-dimensional space here can't be fundamentally resolved, the order of this country has stabilized. Our team is an elite team and will appear where we are needed more."
Jiang Xiao hurriedly asked about the next move of the Wei Yu Team: "There's no serious situation in the northwest of our country. What will the Wei Yu Team be arranged to do after returning?"
"I'll tell you the specifics after we go back." Er Wei thought for a moment and said, "The accent change needs to continue."
Although Er Wei didn't say much, Jiang Xiao understood her meaning. She wanted him to be prepared at all times.
Er Wei was able to let go of "Ash" because Sophiek had been captured and killed, and also because Er Wei had been severely criticized and warned.
Heaven knows, Er Wei is definitely not the kind of person who gives up easily.
A lot of things must have happened in the process of Er Wei reporting the news.
After all, Er Wei had repeatedly requested to carry out this mission, but the higher-ups firmly held her in Kang Ke Jinde, presiding over the overall situation.
However, a few days later, Sophiek's body appeared in Er Wei's hands, and Er Wei personally handed it over, reporting all the information Sophiek knew.
It's hard to say whether Er Wei's actions were disobeying orders. In any case, Er Wei took action privately, which is an indisputable fact.
The Independent Regiment does have a very high degree of freedom. Er Wei's actions did capture the criminal on an objective level, over-fulfilling the task and providing a lot of valuable information. Her contribution is beyond doubt. But having said that, this approach inevitably has the suspicion of overstepping her bounds.
Jiang Xiao hesitated for a moment and said, "Then... I won't return to school. I'll stay in the Snow Plains to cultivate. If you're looking for me, you know where I am."
Er Wei: "Okay, be careful."
"You too," Jiang Xiao said, and then hung up the phone.
Putting aside Jiang Xiao for the moment, on the other end of the phone, Er Wei put down the phone and immediately stood at attention, expressionless and looking straight ahead.
She was not, as Jiang Xiao imagined, in Kang Ke Jinde.
She was in the military camp in Jincheng, in the northwest of China.
And in front of her was the old man Jiang Xiao had met once.
The old man had white hair, wore casual clothes, was energetic, blew on the strong tea in his tea mug, and had a kind and gentle smile: "Little Luan, don't take what others say to heart. But you really have to guard this last post well."
"Yes!" Er Wei looked straight ahead, chest out, head held high, and her voice was strong and powerful.
The old man took a sip of tea and said, "What do you think of the task I just told you about?"
Er Wei responded without hesitation: "Obey orders, follow arrangements."
"Hehe." The old man chuckled and said, "This task is extremely difficult. You may never come back in your life."
Er Wei's voice was hoarse and extremely firm: "The one who can represent the Northwest Night Watch Army must be our Wei Yu Team."
"Good." The old man had a hint of appreciation on his face, and also a hint of emotion, and said, "I won't interfere with the internal affairs of your team. I'm just asking, are you going to take Jiu Wei?"
Er Wei, who had always answered decisively and firmly, suddenly stalled, opened her mouth, but couldn't make a sound.
The old man put down the tea mug and said softly, "Don't rush to answer. I'm just informing you of this news in advance. The specific implementation will take some time. You have plenty of time to prepare and consider.
"In the entire Northwest Night Watch Army, whoever you want, just say it directly. I guarantee that the person will report to your military camp the next day.
"Get nervous, make good use of time and resources, go."
"Yes." Er Wei turned and left, and the expressionless face gradually became solemn.
...
At the same time, in Beijiang Province, Jiang Xiao, who was completely idle, waited for more than a day and finally received news from the Kingdom of Xima.
On October 29th, Princess Sophia's reward was finally delivered.
Jiang Xiao met two attendants from the Xiao Bei Mu Manor in a coffee shop. Jiang Xiao was not sure whether the other party knew what they were transporting. If they knew, would these two attendants pack their bags and run away...
Because when Jiang Xiao returned home, opened the small square box, held the star bead in his hand, and checked the relevant information from his inner vision star map, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but click his tongue secretly.
"Sea Thief Witch Star Bead (Platinum Quality)
Has Star Techniques:
1. Song of the Sea Ridge: Consumes a large amount of star power, begging for the energy of the sea, and emits a melodious song, disturbing the target's mind and causing creatures within the range of the song to stay away from the singer. (Platinum Quality, upgradeable)
2. Sea Ridge Refuge: Summons a steep small sea ridge space. (Platinum Quality, upgradeable)"
Jiang Xiao always felt that something was wrong. This star bead did meet Jiang Xiao's requirements. It did have a space-enclosing star technique, and it seemed to be able to hold living people, but...
Jiang Xiao immediately contacted Sophia and repeatedly confirmed the usage effect of the Sea Ridge Refuge.
Jiang Xiao then learned that the second star technique, Sea Ridge Refuge, did summon a small sea ridge, but it was the kind that was exposed to the sea.
Moreover, this so-called refuge space was not large. The more accurate measurement data was a 10*10*10 cube, but the sea ridge would occupy a large part of it.
In other words, after a person possesses this star technique, smashing all the sea ridges inside and throwing them out of the space, the user will obtain a 10*10*10 living space.
Moreover, the scenery in this space is also very good. Underneath is a stone ground close to the sea surface, and around it is an endless ocean, with the sky and sea in one color, no sun, no moon, no stars, no clouds, similar to Jiang Xiao's Ruins of Calamity Shadow.
The Ruins of Calamity Shadow also looks infinitely large, as if it is in the deep universe, but there are air walls around it.
Jiang Xiao hung up the phone contentedly, thinking secretly: This Sea Thief Witch is indeed a bit interesting.
One star, two skills, both platinum, are all about saving lives and escaping. It will waste a lot of time and energy to catch them.
After having three space-type star beads with very local characteristics, Jiang Xiao no longer waited at home. The crop seeds had already been placed in his Ruins of Calamity Shadow. Jiang Xiao immediately set off and went to the Snow Plains other-dimensional space in Jiannan Village with Han Jiangxue.
Since there was no need to rush to Kang Ke Jinde, Jiang Xiao didn't plan to return to school. Therefore, it would be better to have the help of the Law God miss to brush star beads.
As for Xia Yan... she's terrible. She's only in the late Star River stage. Shouldn't she seize the time to train in the Ruins of Calamity Shadow?
What's she doing out here?
If you don't reach the Star Sea stage, the Sea Soul Noodles will be adults!
The loser eats... well, the loser is not qualified to come out for air!
Jiang Xiao, who was fully prepared, also matched the bait with a set of suitable star techniques.
At this time, the bait Jiang Xiao was also Jiang Xiao who had been re-summoned and re-reset the star map.
The number of star slots in the bait Jiang Xiao was already small, and he didn't want two silver-quality law-based star techniques to occupy two positions.
As soon as the Flower Blade star map came out, the desperado star technique topped again. It is worth mentioning that Jiang Xiao shamelessly asked for all of Xia Yan's desperado star bead stocks, and then inlaid his first and second star slots with the "Desperado Weapon" and "Desperado Blade" star techniques.
Jiang Xiao planned to leave the remaining 7 desperado ghost star beads to Little Wildling He Chongyang. She is a Min-War and the star map is a cold weapon, so of course it will fit this star technique very well.
It is a pity that Jiang Xiao can turn stars into weapons, and the Desperado Weapon is also a summoning weapon class star technique, so there is some overlap in function, but who made Jiang Xiao the first to absorb the "Desperado Weapon."
But it's okay, since you can summon double blades, then take the double blade style, and it is still a double "giant blade" style, which also conforms to the advanced direction of the Xia Family's knife technique.
Jiang Xiao didn't want the desperado Walker star bead in Xia Yan's hand, because he had his own stock.
The desperado Walker star bead contains "Platinum · Desperado Bead" (a desperado marble that explodes when thrown, is powerful, and comes with a dizzying effect) and "Platinum · Desperado Body" (enhances its own defense, strengthens resistance to explosion-type star techniques, is immune to dizziness, and is a passive skill).
Jiang Xiao planned to bring all his 29 desperado Walker star beads to He Chongyang. After He Chongyang absorbs them, there are still three other Star Warriors.
The three-star techniques of the Shadow Crow series were filled in the Flower Blade star map in turn. Jiang Xiao absorbed the Shadow Crow star beads like eating candy beans, not being pretentious at all, sucking them in.
Since Jiang Xiao returned from Kang Ke Jinde a few days ago, his stock of Shadow Crow star beads has exceeded 3,000. Er Wei has been active in Kang Ke Jinde for many years, and the Shadow Crow star beads she seized are so many that she is very generous.
Jiang Xiao also took out a pocket of Shadow Crow star beads and prepared to bring them to Little Chongyang.
After adding Green Glow and Endurance to his star map, Jiang Xiao tried to absorb the Ghost Tiger star beads. He wanted to hit the jackpot and absorb a Quick Mind, but Jiang Xiao absorbed a "Silver · Sharp (Make the hands, feet and other parts like steel, more sharp, more lethal)" star technique.
Jiang Xiao didn't dare to waste any more of the last empty star slot. He directly took out the Little Leaf Monkey's star bead, absorbed the Brass · Perception star technique, and then frantically filled it with Ghost Tiger star beads. Among the remaining three star techniques of the Ghost Tiger, the Silver · Perception replaced the Brass · Perception of the Little Leaf Monkey.
At this point, the final star map of the bait was determined to be: 1 Desperado Weapon, 2 Desperado Blade, 3 Phantom Crow, 4 Chaotic Crow, 5 Shadow Crow, 6 Green Glow, 7 Endurance, 8 Sharp, 9 Perception.
This pure vegetable knife flow looks very violent...
The bait Jiang Xiao carried a large backpack full of things and was kicked into the Holy Ruins by Jiang Xiao in the Snow Plains Holy Ruins.
At this point, Jiang Xiao also started the journey of brushing star beads.
Fortunately, Han Jiangxue was by his side, and in the roaring and killing of the White Ghost clan, the two were not too lonely.
Jiang Xiao had already made a decision in his heart,
Bless the bait not to become a star, not to leave the Snow Plains space gate!
