Chapter 921 Guarding Food
Cloaked Figure: "Child, your vision is too narrow. You only saw the sun and moon, the beach and the sea, and thought that was the whole world. One day, you will understand me, you will be grateful to me..."
Thump! Thump! Thump!
On the rooftop, the cloaked figure paused slightly. She abruptly turned her head, her gaze piercing through the outer platform, through the house's living room, towards the distant door.
Outside the door, a male voice sounded, with a very standard American accent: "What's going on? I heard things being smashed and shouting! Is someone committing domestic violence!? Stop it right now! I'm calling the police!"
And 10 seconds earlier, in BeiJiang Province, Fen City Base, in Er Wei's Calamity Shadow Realm.
Er Wei slashed down with her blade, but Jiang Xiao in front of her suddenly disappeared.
"Hmm?" Er Wei frowned slightly, looking around, but couldn't see a trace of him.
The practice dummy didn't have any star techniques related to teleportation. To be precise, the practice dummy's star slots were empty, without any star techniques.
The practice dummy disappeared, so there was only one possibility: he was recalled!
Or... was there another possibility?
Jiang Xiao died?
If the original body died, would the decoy automatically disappear?
Such a high-level star technique, only Jiang Xiao himself knew, and he had never tested it before.
Er Wei's expression changed slightly. She quickly flickered, directly opened the door of the Calamity Shadow Realm, and walked out.
Her figure immediately appeared in the dark multi-functional conference hall, and she heard the soldiers' discussion.
Er Wei didn't even want to walk. After finding her team members, she directly flickered over: "What's going on?"
The team members' expressions were quite awkward. Tian Gou directly said, "Little Pi just won, but someone interfered! That close-up shot..."
Er Wei: "Speak!"
Fu Hei's expression was solemn as he said, "It should be a Star Transformation member, Liana Friedrich. That competitor from the Apennine Peninsula, Martha, has a problem!"
Er Wei's expression changed drastically. She finally knew why the practice dummy was recalled!
She also immediately understood what Jiang Xiao was going to do!
Everyone fell silent, looking at the angry Er Wei, no one dared to speak.
As far as the current situation was concerned, Er Wei's concern for Jiang Xiao was normal.
But they didn't know that Er Wei's worry wasn't because a Star Transformation member appeared on the World Cup stage.
It was because Jiang Xiao recalled the decoy, so he must have gone to find the Star Transformation member!
...
Southern outskirts of BaiLin City, the top of a slightly dilapidated apartment building.
Urgent knocking sounded continuously: "Open the door! Open the door! No matter who you are, I swear I'll call the police! You better escape from the balcony!"
And on that outdoor balcony...
"Heh..." The cloaked figure slightly raised her head, her eyes turning white, and let out a light sigh.
The cloaked star map that bloomed in front of her, resembling a soul devouring the sea, surged with illusory energy. Starting from the tail, it continuously flowed into Martha's heart through the combat knife piercing her heart.
Martha's face was ashen, her expression extremely stiff, and she no longer had even a struggling movement. Her pupils had almost shrunk into pinpoints.
Bang!
The youth outside the door broke in and walked in with large strides, cursing loudly, "Bastard! Daring to commit violence with a knife in broad daylight, do you really think everyone is afraid of you!?"
The youth who came in had short brown hair and blue eyes filled with shock and anger. What did he see?
What was that star map?
What was that Star Transformation into Weapon?
That illusory cloaked star map was drilling into Martha's heart?
The youth walked towards the balcony and picked up a chair from the living room, smashing it viciously towards the balcony.
This youth was the decoy summoned by Jiang Xiao after disguising himself.
Bang!
The wooden chair didn't hit the cloaked figure's body. The black cloak she was wearing suddenly rose up and directly shattered the wooden chair.
The cloaked figure narrowed her eyes slightly, only to find that the brown-haired youth had directly closed his eyes! And he actually raised the wooden table and slammed it over heavily!
"You're courting death!" A simple sentence in English, with a strong Apennine local accent, was exactly the same as Martha's accent when she communicated with Jiang Xiao on the competition stage.
The cloaked figure drew a dagger from her boot and casually threw it behind her.
Swish!
The brown-haired youth suddenly sidestepped the moment she drew the dagger.
If he had been any slower, he would have been pierced in the chest by the rapidly flying dagger!
This was still because the cloaked figure was bathed in the Domain Tear Domain. Jiang Xiao in the first layer directly predicted and dodged, barely avoiding the attack!
"Hmm?" The cloaked figure was stunned for a moment, and the brown-haired youth had already pounced over.
Playing dumb to deceive others?
The cloaked figure found that the youth had his eyes tightly closed, and suddenly drew a blood-red giant blade in his hand! He swung it over fiercely!
This was actually a Star Warrior!?
Clang!
The fluttering tail of the cloak forcibly stopped the blood-red giant blade, but...
The cloaked figure was shocked. The Soul Devouring the Sea was actually pierced!?
Half of the giant blade shrouded in red mist actually tore through the terrifyingly strong cloak, but didn't completely pierce through. Instead, half of the blade stuck out, hanging on the cloak.
At the same time, only half of the star map remained on the cloaked figure's body. It seemed that the other half had merged into Martha's body.
At this moment, in a messy room on the first floor of the apartment.
Jiang Xiao was sitting in a chair, with his elbows resting on his knees and his eyes silently staring at the ground.
At this moment, he suddenly raised his hand, Diamond Silence!
Bang!
On the platform of the four-story apartment building, a Diamond Silence crashed down!
The cloaked figure Liana, the Soul Devouring the Sea, and Martha, whose eyes were empty, were all included within it.
In the dilapidated apartment on the first floor, Jiang Xiao sat up straight, raised his head, and looked at the ceiling.
His reddened eyes were already filled with mist, and at this moment, hot tears flowed down.
Dark clouds filled the sky, and the Domain Tear rain poured down, but at the location of this fourth-floor outer balcony, it was the eight-meter diameter of Wounded Tear rain!
In the apartment on the first floor, Jiang Xiao sat quietly in the chair, raised his left hand, covered his eyes, and tears flowed from between his fingers. His right hand waved repeatedly, and one Diamond Silence after another crazily slammed down.
On the balcony, the decoy Jiang Xiao (the brown-haired youth) drew a blood-red giant blade again, but saw a shocking scene!
A phantom cloaked star map suddenly floated out from in front of Martha, who was lying on the ground, soaked by the rain.
And in the hood of the cloak, there was still Martha's phantom-lined face, as if imprisoned within the cloak.
That phantom-lined face was screaming in pain, crying out shrilly, her face extremely distorted.
She was crying, howling, seemingly enduring pain while mouthing words to Jiang Xiao.
The decoy Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment. He understood her lip movements, it was... "Thank you, thank you, you."
This scene completely stunned Jiang Xiao.
Her expression was so ferocious, so distorted, but the information conveyed by her mouth was expressing gratitude...
The next moment, the illusory cloak and phantom face quietly shattered, disappearing together in the layers of rain.
Within the Diamond Domain, Martha seemed to have completely lost her soul, and no longer had any emotions or desires, and no emotions to speak of. Her eyes were wide open, but the light had completely disappeared from her eyes.
Dying with eyes wide open?
No, that's not right, she was still breathing.
Under the circumstance that the decoy and the original body shared sensory input, the decoy could also receive all the information in the Domain Tear.
Decoy Jiang Xiao frowned tightly and quickly stepped forward, coming to the edge of the Wounded Tear rain.
Jiang Xiao's original body also frowned tightly, appropriately adjusting the swinging direction of the Diamond Domain, adjusting the output center point, so that Martha's body in the domain was as close as possible to the edge of the Diamond Domain.
And decoy Jiang Xiao's face turned gloomy under the splashing raindrops of the Wounded Tears.
He held the giant blade, forcibly pulled Martha's body out, his movements were slow, but very firm.
Decoy Jiang Xiao moved Martha's body with the giant blade, using the wide blade to push her aside, and he also rolled and crawled out of the splashing range of the Wounded Tears.
In the torrential Domain Tear rain, mixed with a little bit of Pure Tears, it fell on the two of them.
But even so, decoy Jiang Xiao's emotions had already dropped to the bottom, Pure Tears did not have a morale-boosting effect.
Decoy Jiang Xiao was like this, and so was the cloaked figure Liana and the Soul Devouring the Sea.
On the first floor, in the messy and dilapidated apartment.
Jiang Xiao was still sitting in the chair, but a Fondness Halo had appeared on his calf, spinning rapidly and frantically replenishing Jiang Xiao's star power.
The eight-meter diameter of the Wounded Tear rain, the outer circle mixed with Pure Tear rain, and the Domain Tear rain covering the entire city, were frantically consuming Jiang Xiao's star power.
But since the Fondness Halo was activated, he was massively absorbing star power from the Soul Devouring the Sea and Liana's bodies.
Having a star pet as a power bank was one thing, but being self-sufficient was another.
On the fourth-floor balcony, the cloak had been propped up, shielding Liana from above. It was flying with difficulty, moving towards the room.
And Liana was also crawling with difficulty, the star power in her body was like an explosion, frantically rampaging in her body, stirring up her internal organs.
Relying only on the strength of her body, Liana's fingers, grabbing onto the ground of the balcony, would press out several deep finger marks with each movement.
Similarly, she also wanted to walk into that nearest living room, trying to crawl in, to avoid the rain.
But, this small platform, this short distance of five or six meters, seemed so long.
The cloak, which was loyal and dedicated to sheltering Liana from the wind and rain, didn't even have the right to howl in the Diamond Domain. It turned into a void and was completely scattered by the Wounded Tear rain.
Only a star bead was left, falling to the ground.
"Damn it." Decoy Jiang Xiao shouted angrily. He was indeed affected by the splashing raindrops of the Wounded Tears. He took two quick steps, leaped suddenly, stepped on the stone railing, and used his feet to bounce, leaping high.
In the high sky, he held the giant blade and threw it out viciously!
Clang!
From top to bottom, a giant blade shrouded in blood mist, rotated rapidly, pierced into the Diamond Domain, directly penetrated Liana's heart, and slanted into the ground.
Swish... Decoy Jiang Xiao suddenly disappeared.
Another decoy appeared in the dilapidated apartment on the first floor, next to the original body Jiang Xiao.
Avoiding the decoy Jiang Xiao, who was falling freely and entering the range of Silence and Wounded Tears, turned around and left without saying a word. He opened the door and walked out of the room, quickly running to the fourth floor.
And Liana, who was dizzy, whose star power was in turmoil, and whose internal organs were almost exploding, was directly pierced through the chest by the Flower Blade and nailed to the ground. Her vision gradually blurred, and the world in her eyes gradually darkened...
"Killing across levels, skill points +5!"
With the information coming from the inner vision star map, Jiang Xiao's right hand froze in the air and slowly put it down.
He rubbed his red and swollen eyes hard with one hand, and on the lower half of his face that was not covered, there was a slightly raised corner of his mouth, a silent smile...
Jiang Xiao admitted that he had many shortcomings, one of which was: hoarding food.
Star Transformation?
My appetizer,
Is it something you can take as you please?
