Chapter 67 Safe Zone

"Ba Wei, remember this location. If we need to teleport, bring the team back to this cave directly," Jiang Xiao said, leading the group into the cave that Wu Long had blasted open.

Jiang Xiao continued, "There's no danger around here. This is a good safe spot."

"Mm," Han Jiangxue nodded.

"Jiang Xiao," Xia Yan suddenly called out.

"Call me by my code name during missions," Jiang Xiao replied.

"Oh, Jiu Xing Du Nai, sense over there," Xia Yan said, pointing to the left wall, or rather, in that direction.

Xia Yan frowned slightly and said, "About... twenty kilometers away, in the very center of five giant rocks. Can you find the location I'm talking about?"

Jiang Xiao closed his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and carefully sensed the location Xia Yan mentioned through Yu Lei.

Xia Yan said, "I always feel like my perception of this world is missing a piece. Something's not right over there."

Jiang Xiao licked his lips excitedly and said, "Yes, that's a Yin Long. Sense the outline carefully again."

Under normal circumstances, within Yu Lei, Jiang Xiao and Xia Yan were "omniscient" gods. But that gap in cognition made Xia Yan particularly uncomfortable, as if her "divinity" was being challenged.

Jiang Xiao continued, "The reason why we have a gap in perception there is because when the Yin Long activates Hidden Body, it can conceal its life force, star power, and even its entire body.

Change your way of thinking. Analyze it from another angle. When you sense a blank space, when there's a lack of awareness in that area, it must be a Yin Long hunting."

Xia Yan nodded thoughtfully and said, "Oh, I thought there was a space gate or some kind of spatial distortion. I thought my Yu Lei was gone for good, unable to connect with my senses. So there's a dragon there..."

Jiang Xiao said, "The Yin Dragon's three-star skills—Summon Lesser Yin Dragon, Control Lesser Yin Dragon, and this Hidden Body—are what you'll be absorbing onto your future star skill panel."

"Uh..." Xia Yan rubbed her red eyes and said, "I'm Dou Zhan, do I need Hidden Body?" (Dou Zhan means Battle Saint)

"Mm," Jiang Xiao nodded and said, "Hidden Rush and Hidden Pursuit are Dou Zhan divine skills. This Hidden Body is a rare combat-type auxiliary star skill. When activated, it can enhance star power recovery and strengthen the body's self-repair functions.

Your combat power will increase by more than just a little bit after you have this star skill. We've come at the right time. If Brigade Commander Luan had been able to access the Dragon Cave earlier, his set of star skills wouldn't be like this."

As he spoke, Jiang Xiao looked at Er Wei and said, "Wu Long's three-star skills go well with your Mist Device and Mist Body. Have you considered it?"

Er Wei nodded and said, "I already applied to absorb two Wu Long star beads when you weren't around, but I failed both times."

Jiang Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, this time, we'll kill more dragons and acquire more resources. All the Jing Long star beads will be handed in. We'll apply to get the remaining resources back to absorb. We..." (Wu Long means Mist Dragon, Jing Long means Crystal Dragon)

As he was speaking, Jiang Xiao stopped, and Xia Yan's expression also changed.

Er Wei asked, "What?"

Xia Yan, quick to speak, hurriedly said, "There's a dragon about to pass through that giant rock area. It's about to... fight!"

Jiang Xiao's eyes lit up. Within Yu Lei, he finally sensed the body of that "old schemer"!

After breaking through Hidden Body, the Yin Long finally filled the spatial blank, re-entering Jiang Xiao's perception.

Xia Yan was shocked and said, "Wow, this ambush... are their sizes about the same?"

Jiang Xiao guessed, "It should also be a Yin Long. Tsk tsk, this Yin Long is really sinister, ruthless enough to hunt its own kin."

Jiang Xiao waved his right hand and said, "Qi Wei and Ba Wei, enter my space and stand by at the gate. When the gate opens, it'll be a life-or-death battle."

Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan exchanged glances, then obediently walked into the gate of the Calamity Shadow World. Immediately, they saw huge Jing Long heads all over the ground...

Jiang Xiao recalled the Sea-Devouring Clothes from Er Wei's body and said, "Transform Star into Weapon. I need your beast form, enhanced senses."

In the cave, a lynx star map bloomed on Er Wei's chest. In an instant, a long-tailed lynx, four meters tall at the shoulder and seven meters long, stomped restlessly on the ground with its claws.

Its furry head turned, and its pair of ghostly vertical pupils sent shivers down Jiang Xiao's spine.

The best way to eliminate fear is to face it!

Let's go!

Alright!

Jiang Xiao roared in his heart, his body slowly floating up, landing steadily on the giant lynx's back, one hand stroking its soft fur.

"L噜..." The ferocious lynx made a dangerous sound, but did not throw Jiang Xiao off.

Jiang Xiao moved forward, leaned down, hugged the soft, warm body, and said, "Watch your step. I can't sense creatures hidden underground with my Rain."

"L噜..."

Whoosh!

The figure of the Cat-Riding Warrior flickered, and the two appeared in a wilderness, hidden in a giant rock maze.

Not far away was the battlefield of the two Yin Dragons. At this time, the hunting Yin Dragon was biting the prey's body tightly, refusing to let go, seemingly trying to kill the prey with "physical crushing."

But the prey Yin Dragon's reaction was also quick, wrapping its long body around its opponent.

The two giant Yin Dragons were entangled together, almost tied in a knot. At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten that they were noble dragonkin, instead using the most primitive hunting methods to tear and strangle their opponent.

"Sniff~"

The lynx lowered its furry head, sniffing the ground, seeming a little uneasy, its huge paws pawing at the barren soil and gravel.

Seeing this action, Jiang Xiao quickly flickered with the lynx, returning to the cave twenty kilometers away once again.

Jiang Xiao asked, "What's wrong?"

From the lynx's mouth, a hoarse human voice was spat out, its tone... eerie, making one's hair stand on end.

Ferocious Lynx: "Under barren soil, there are caverns. Yin Long is hunting... underground... dragonkin."

Jiang Xiao patted the lynx's head, "Thank you for your trouble, speaking in this way."

The lynx's tone was very strange, and her enunciation was unclear. In this form, speaking should be difficult for her.

Jiang Xiao did discover an interesting thing. No matter what form she was in, no matter how her voice line and tone changed, Er Wei's voice was always hoarse.

Jiang Xiao hurriedly asked, "You only discovered the caverns? Did you discover traces of dragonkin activity below?"

The lynx shook its head.

Jiang Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I'll summon Weng Weng Whale. How about the four of us lying in ambush in the dark?"

Lynx: "You... command."

Whoosh...

Jiang Xiao, riding the lynx, reappeared in a pile of rocks, but it was not the previous pile of rocks. Jiang Xiao consciously adjusted his position to ensure that their position was not within the hunting range of the underground dragonkin.

At the same time, a gate to the Calamity Shadow World opened beside Jiang Xiao.

Xia Yan and Han Jiangxue hurriedly flew out, only to see Jiang Xiao's "hush" gesture.

Not far away, the two Yin Dragons were still entangled, because their mouths were tearing at each other, the dragons' roars were not many, and they were also struggling and tearing each other in mid-air, which did not have much impact on the surrounding environment. The battle was too quiet...

"Hide well. I'll summon Weng Weng Whale to fight. There are caverns below. Er Wei hasn't sensed any creatures yet. Once a creature appears, that's our target," Jiang Xiao said softly, also reminding everyone, counting down, "3...2...1!"

Bang!

Jiang Xiao, riding on the lynx, lowered his head, sensing everything around him with Yu Lei. He waved his left and right hands repeatedly!

One after another, Starry Sky - Silence, adjusted to the maximum range, frantically smashed into the huge bodies of the two Yin Dragons.

The primary target, of course, was their heads!

"Weng..."

After a series of Starry Sky Silence, another behemoth burst out from above Jiang Xiao's head!

Hidden in Jiang Xiao's star chart, closely connected to Jiang Xiao's spirit, Weng Weng Whale knew Jiang Xiao's actions like the back of its hand. As soon as it appeared, a huge water tornado came out!

Sea Vortex: Control a rotating vortex to break through, surround, or strangle targets (Diamond Quality Lv.0).

Sea Candle Whirlpool: When the Black and White Candle Whale uses the fifth star skill, Sea Vortex, it will attach a certain ice candle flame effect!

Under the pitter-patter of light rain, the water element was extremely rich. In an instant, the two Yin Dragons entangled in mid-air were engulfed in a huge Sea Candle Whirlpool!

Jiang Xiao waved his hands repeatedly. This time, it was no longer Starry Sky - Silence, but Platinum - Blessing!

A huge pillar of blessing light, five meters in diameter, pierced through the Sea Candle Whirlpool from top to bottom, falling on the heads of the Yin Dragons one after another.

The two entangled Yin Dragons were now completely "knotted," and a "dead knot" at that. It was probably impossible to untie them.

The two proud dragonkin creatures were actually twisted into a ball by the Sea Candle Whirlpool...

The Affection Halo was placed on Weng Weng Whale and Jiang Xiao, frantically absorbing the star power of the two Yin Dragons.

After completely controlling the Yin Dragons, Jiang Xiao no longer used Blessing, but switched to Silence, ensuring Weng Weng Whale's output environment.

The sea vortex, burning with white ice candle flames, rotated at an incredible speed. This was only because they were dragonkin. If they were any other creatures, they would not have been ground to death, but completely torn apart.

And the reason why Jiang Xiao was called the "Poisonous Milk King" was not without reason. Above the wide range of the Sea Candle Whirlpool, the heavy rain pouring down was the heavy rain of Tearful Wounds!

The Tearful Wounds rain did not pour down all at once, but was rolled together by the Sea Candle Whirlpool, frantically sweeping and tearing at the bodies of the Yin Dragons.

Jiang Xiao and Weng Weng Whale's star skills were completely 1 + 1 greater than 2!

"My God..." Xia Yan hurriedly covered her mouth with one hand, a muffled sound coming from her mouth. She looked at the "tub washing machine" in the sky with a look of shock.

What level of natural disaster was this!?

This... this... it could destroy a city in an instant, right?

Xia Yan was very sure that if she was in the whirlpool, she would definitely not last a few seconds. Her body would be completely torn apart, and there might not even be bone scraps left...

Jiang Xiao controlled the Tearful Wounds rain, throwing out Starry Sky - Silence again and again, his eyes fixed on the battlefield in the sky, and said, "This call of 'Little Skin Brother' is worth it, right?"

Xia Yan turned her head blankly and looked at Jiang Xiao, who was serious and solemn.

Every time in battle, his "mischievous" attribute seemed to evolve into a "reliable" attribute.

Xia Yan pursed her lips and said, "Weng Weng Whale is so strong. We have to reward it well when we get back."

Jiang Xiao: "......"

"Weng..." In the sky, the joyful whale song of Weng Weng Whale came.

Love me, love my dog.

Having always been spiritually connected to Jiang Xiao, it had a very deep emotional connection to everyone Jiang Xiao cared about.

However, these people trained very hard and were very busy with missions. They rarely accompanied it on weekdays, and might even ignore it.

But Weng Weng Whale had been in Jiang Xiao's eyes, constantly accompanying everyone.

It was just that those people didn't know it.
