Chapter 135

"Hee-law-law~"

"Loo...loo..." A series of neighs and snorts echoed as the Starfall Squad followed closely behind Xiao Chongyang.

At this moment, Jiang Xiao was the one sitting behind Xiao Chongyang on the horse.

No matter how powerful they were, the Black Ridge Fire Feathers didn't possess any Star Techniques that could control others. Therefore, if negotiations failed, Jiang Xiao could immediately take Xiao Chongyang and Xiao Tan Hong (Mutated Black Ridge Fire Feather) away.

"Tsk tsk, wonderful! Wonderful!" Wu Haoyang muttered softly, his eyes blazing as he gazed at the herd of tall horses grazing on the distant, undulating mountains.

There had to be at least six hundred of them!

The Black Ridge Fire Feathers' habitat was unique, situated on the border between Da Meng and the Northern Lands. They were entrenched there, making it difficult to determine which region they belonged to.

Gazing at the nearly thousand fine steeds, Wu Haoyang finally understood how detestable Cao Cao had been.

Back then, Cao Aman had actually gifted Red Hare to Lord Guan! Who could withstand that!

In comparison, what was a sister-in-law? She probably wasn't even worth a horse's leg!

"Hmm?" The Blind Girl made a soft nasal sound, turning her head curiously towards the trembling Wu Haoyang.

Of course, everyone liked powerful Star Pets, but Wu Haoyang seemed a bit obsessed?

"Heh..." Wu Haoyang sighed, smiling sheepishly. Being straightforward, he said, "Just looking at them from afar is wonderful enough. Look, there's a pure black foal over there! It must be in its infant form, right?"

The Blind Girl replied calmly, "I can't see."

Wu Haoyang: "..."

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiao, riding Xiao Tan Hong, sensed the hostile gazes around him.

Despite his strength and confidence, Jiang Xiao felt a tremor in his heart as he was watched by so many high-quality creatures.

Xiao Chongyang scooted forward, leaning her elbows on the horse's back and resting her chin on her hands. She looked at the groups of Black Ridge Fire Feathers who had stopped to watch and said, "Would you like to come with us?"

Spreading her arms, she gestured, "We have a biiiig grassland at home, with lush and beautiful grass! How about I give that grassland to you as your territory?

Then you can run and fly as you please, instead of living here in such cramped conditions."

Behind them, Jiang Xiao nodded approvingly.

Listen to what Xiao Chongyang was saying! So on the ball!

Due to their habitat, the Black Ridge Fire Feathers were inexplicably restricted to this area by some unknown rules.

And the border between Da Meng and the Northern Lands, at least where Jiang Xiao was, was a series of rolling hills.

The land was relatively barren, making for a poor living environment.

What was curious was that these world-destroying creatures could have moved north into the Da Meng grasslands, where they could have grown fat and strong. But they stubbornly stayed here, neither north nor south, eating sparse grass and making themselves miserable.

"Hee-law-law~" As Xiao Chongyang spoke, Xiao Tan Hong neighed to the sky, seemingly communicating with its kin.

For a moment, even the Black Ridge Fire Feathers grazing in the distance perked up their ears and raised their heads, looking over.

A series of neighs echoed, and after a few seconds, a whale-like sound came from the sky: "Ommm..."

Sensing the images that Om-Om Whale was providing, Jiang Xiao quickly retracted his Domain of Tears Star Technique.

Seduction could wait. Clearly, the Black Ridge Fire Feathers didn't like rainy environments.

Well, they were fire-type creatures after all. It was normal for them to dislike it.

As Jiang Xiao retracted his Domain of Tears Star Technique, the drizzle disappeared, and the overcast sky gradually showed signs of clearing.

The Black Ridge Fire Feathers were extremely perceptive and clearly realized something. They all looked curiously at the mutated Xiao Tan Hong.

Cool~

Jiang Xiao tugged at Xiao Chongyang's clothes and said, "Yes, tell them that I made the rain go away. It's our way of showing goodwill!"

As he spoke, Jiang Xiao opened the door to the World of Ghoul Shadows, leading directly to the fertile grasslands of the Da Meng Empire.

Although Hua Xia Da Meng also had grasslands, after the Starfall Squad had scoured them, the Da Meng grasslands were filled with all sorts of Star-Tier creatures. It wouldn't be good to fight there.

Jiang Xiao felt a surge of nervousness. Would they be willing to move? Would that mysterious regional rule restrict their behavior?

Jiang Xiao whispered, "Tell them that this is their new home. This entire territory belongs to them, and there are no other Star Beasts on this grassland."

Xiao Chongyang thought, and Xiao Tan Hong neighed again.

Jiang Xiao watched as an adult Black Ridge Fire Feather stepped forward, extending its massive head into the World of Ghoul Shadows' door.

Jiang Xiao was secretly pleased. Was this going to work?

After such long negotiations, the Black Ridge Fire Feather group hadn't shown any signs of aggression. Clearly, the mutated Xiao Tan Hong seemed to have a certain appeal within the herd.

If that was the case, these Black Ridge Fire Feathers should be Diamond-ranked creatures. So... among equals, mutation reigns supreme?

Indeed! It was the right choice to bring Xiao Chongyang along on this mission!

A few seconds later, the Black Ridge Fire Feather walked in.

"Yay! Great!" Xiao Chongyang laughed happily, wiggling her small bottom. She wrapped her arms around Xiao Tan Hong's neck and lowered her head to give it a big kiss, but only managed to kiss a mouthful of mane.

"Ptoo, ptoo..." Xiao Chongyang quickly straightened up, spitting twice. One by one, the Black Ridge Fire Feathers came over, hesitantly approaching the door to the World of Ghoul Shadows, craning their necks and peering inside.

Under Xiao Tan Hong's constant neighing, more and more Black Ridge Fire Feathers gathered and walked through the door.

Jiang Xiao was also secretly pleased. Without firing a single shot, he had acquired many fine steeds. He was dying of happiness~

A cavalry regiment might actually be possible!

However, at that moment, the sky that had cleared up began to rain again!

The rain came first, then the clouds!

Patches of dark clouds gathered again, and this wasn't a drizzle, but a light rain.

"Jiang Xiao?" Xiao Chongyang turned her head curiously, only to find that Jiang Xiao's eyes weren't red and he hadn't shown any signs of using a Star Technique.

Jiang Xiao's expression was grave as he looked up at the sky, vaguely sensing something was wrong.

Unexpectedly, the rainy environment actually sped up the Black Ridge Fire Feathers' relocation.

Under Xiao Tan Hong's command, the Black Ridge Fire Feather group went from hesitant to charging into the spatial door to take shelter from the rain. The scene was incredibly dreamlike.

Of course, the happiest person was Wu Haoyang. His eyes were fixed on one foal, and he watched as it entered Jiang Xiao's World of Ghoul Shadows. Wu Haoyang excitedly pumped his fist.

Beside him, the Blind Girl's lips curved slightly upward. She had thought he was a mature and steady Star Warrior.

Wu Haoyang was extremely perceptive and naturally sensed everything.

"Cough cough." Wu Haoyang coughed twice, pretending to compose himself. "Captain Xiao Pi, the mission is being executed very well, just as I wanted!"

The Blind Girl completely ignored Wu Haoyang, and her body suddenly shattered into a pool of ink.

Beside Jiang Xiao, spots of ink spread from the ground, and the Blind Girl's tall figure emerged from the ground, swaying slightly as she stood up.

She said, "Since the effect is good, let's go around the border between Da Meng and the Northern Lands. Are there any other Black Ridge Fire Feather groups nearby?"

Jiang Xiao's eyes were red as he said, "Wait a moment, this isn't my rain, just a moment."

The Blind Girl was slightly taken aback. "Hmm?"

Jiang Xiao closed his eyes tightly, and his own Domain of Tears immediately began to fall.

Suddenly, Jiang Xiao's expression froze. "Someone's coming from the east!"

The Blind Girl: "People?"

Jiang Xiao's Adam's apple bobbed as he said in a trembling voice, "A four-person team, this is... Night Watch uniform!?"

The Blind Girl: !!!

Jiang Xiao's expression was grave as he said, "Hua Xia Night Watch, but we need to verify whether their identities are real."

Wu Haoyang also strode over and said, "Meet them?"

Jiang Xiao said, "They've already discovered us."

As he spoke, Jiang Xiao reached out a hand to catch the drizzle falling from the sky. "You can't sense it, but this rain isn't just my Domain of Tears, it also contains the other party's Domain of Tears."

The Blind Girl said, "Then let's scatter."

"Mm." Jiang Xiao nodded. "Sanwei, you go with Jiang Xun. Haoyang, stay here."

At the same time, Jiang Gong moved away into the distance.

Of course, it was called hiding, but the terrain was wide open, with rolling hills and not a single tree. There was nowhere to hide. And since the other party had a Domain of Tears, Jiang Gong's position was exposed to their senses. So, Jiang Gong was more like telling the other party openly: I'm here, I'm waiting for you.

Jiang Xiao flipped off the horse, standing at the entrance of the World of Ghoul Shadows, maintaining the opening of the door as he waited for groups of Black Ridge Fire Feathers to enter. At the same time, he mixed Purifying Tears into his Domain of Tears, preparing for the team that was coming from over a dozen kilometers away.

"Oh? The Ruins of Ghoul Shadows and the Space-Time Rift?" As Jiang Xiao activated Purifying Tears and covered the battlefield, he closed his eyes and muttered softly, "If it's a Space-Time Rift, the distance of the flicker is a little off. It should be the most basic Platinum Space-Time Rift."

In Jiang Xiao's Domain of Tears, one of the approaching four-person team opened a spatial door, and three teammates immediately entered it. The remaining soldier was rushing madly, flickering frantically, towards their location...

Soon, everyone felt a soldier in a black Night Watch uniform suddenly appear above their heads, standing in the rain.

"Commander Jiang Xiao Pi?" The young soldier was excited, looking down at Jiang Xiao and the others, and at the warhorses surging into the spatial door.

There was a hint of excitement in the soldier's eyes as he asked again, "You're Brigadier Jiang, right?"

Jiang Xiao looked up, examining the soldier's relatively new Night Watch uniform, and nodded.

The soldier's face lit up with joy, marveling at the scene before him, his mind racing!

He had thought that Brigadier Jiang had led his men to slaughter the North Three Provinces and the East Five Alliances of Hua Xia, which was why there were so few alien dimensions and Holy Ruins opening up in the lower dimensions.

But it seemed that Brigadier Jiang was driving the Star Beasts from the alien sphere into a spatial door?

This space must be the so-called "World of Ghoul Shadows" mentioned in the Tail Feather Brigade's report, right?

As one of the first Night Watch soldiers sent to the alien sphere, the soldier knew his stuff. Of course, he recognized the breed of these tall steeds as Black Ridge Fire Feathers!

The Black Ridge Fire Feathers in Earth were already Platinum-ranked. In this alien sphere, their strength must be off the charts!

What method did Brigadier Jiang use to make them obediently enter the World of Ghoul Shadows?

The more the young soldier thought, the more admiration he felt. The look he gave Jiang Xiao was filled with respect.

Jiang Xiao, who was below, felt his scalp tingle...

This look couldn't be faked, right?

Seeing the soldier staring at him, not saying a word, Jiang Xiao frowned slightly and asked, "Did you accidentally enter the alien sphere? Where did you come from?"

The soldier snapped back to reality and quickly replied, "No, we came to the alien sphere specifically to support you!"

Jiang Xiao: !!!
