Chapter 17 I Want To Fight With You

Inside the ancient tower, the group was still conversing, exchanging information and getting acquainted. But Jin Lü, standing to the side, kept his golden eyes fixed intently on Jiang Xiao.

Even if Jiang Xiao didn't possess any perception-type Star Techniques, he would still be drawn by such a gaze.

Jin Lü's hoarse voice suddenly broke the chatter, interrupting the others: "I like... this... Hua Xia person, going alone to a meeting."

Going alone to a meeting, Jiang Xiaopi?

That's quite a title.

Jiang Xiao turned around, tilted his head slightly, and looked into Jin Lü's golden demon eyes, saying: "Uh... thanks?"

Jin Lü said: "I, with you, fight."

Jiang Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and looked towards the two rangers, You Jun and Lie Jun.

Lie Jun, Li Haoge frowned slightly and stopped him: "Jin Shiqi!"

The smile on Jin Lü's black ghost face widened: "I, hehe, can fight, hehe..."

Li Haoge looked at Jiang Xiao, nodded slightly, and said: "You know their biological characteristics, even if they are highly intelligent, the war genes flowing in their blood cannot be erased."

You Jun, Yue Yuchen, snorted and said, "If they weren't so brave and fond of fighting, if it weren't for that staff of Jin Shier, none of this would have happened."

Jiang Xiao also knew the biological characteristics of the Ghost Faced Monks. They really were warlike, there was no doubt about that. But unlike the ferocious and bloodthirsty White Ghosts, the Ghost Faced Monks were clearly more advanced. They didn't simply like killing, but rather enjoyed discussing techniques and studying martial arts.

Not to mention these highly intelligent Ghost Faced Monks on this alien planet, even the Ghost Faced Monks who had been projected and weakened layer by layer, also enjoyed sparring.

At the last World Cup, when Jiang Xiao, Hou Mingming, and Zhao Wenlong first entered the pinnacle of the ancient tower, they were challenged by a Cao Lü, who could be said to have requested a one-on-one duel by name.

Why?

Because Jiang Xiao was carrying a giant steel blade on his back at the time. Just because of this weapon, the Cao Lü took off his conical hat and rolled it to Jiang Xiao's feet.

Such actions, and the challenge information contained within, all came from the most basic Ghost Faced Monks.

One could imagine what the characteristics of the high-level Ghost Faced Monks in this alien planet would be like.

Jiang Xiao even thought that Jin Lü was already suppressing his nature. He had accompanied everyone for so long, until they saw their Hua Xia counterparts and the person in charge, Li Haoge, before initiating a challenge against Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao chuckled and said, "Friend, are you called Jin Shiqi?"

Jin Lü nodded with a strange smile on his face.

"That's a good name, so, there are sixteen others as warlike as you?" Jiang Xiao asked with a smile.

Jin Lü paused slightly, seemingly thinking. After a few seconds, he said: "There are Jin Yi Ling Ba in total."

Jiang Xiao: "..."

Yue Yuchen said: "In this Ye Old Pagoda City, there are nearly a thousand Ghost Faced Monks, making them the most powerful Ghost Faced Monk organization in this area. There are relatively few Jin Lü and Yi Lü, with 108 each. There are more than 400 Cao Lü, and more than 300 Yin Lü."

Jiang Xiao nodded. It seemed that although everyone was at the Platinum level, from the perspective of rarity, Jin Lü and Yi Lü had a higher status.

After all, things are valued for their rarity.

Li Haoge said: "Before we came here, there were less than a hundred Ghost Faced Monks in this city.

Afterwards, my brother and I accidentally entered here. The Pioneer took us in. Since then, the two of us have organized the team, established rules, prohibited infighting, and fought everywhere. In three years, Ye Old Pagoda has developed to its current scale.

But that staff of Jin Shier is likely to destroy everything we have worked so hard to build."

It seemed that these Eagle Falcon squad brothers were very afraid of the Desperate race.

Yue Yuchen said: "Maybe we should advise the Pioneer to transfer the base. The Central Plains is so vast, with our current combat power, it would be no problem to seize a light pillar area and annex an ancient tower force."

Li Haoge shook his head and sighed: "The intelligence of the Ghost Faced Monks is indeed at a certain level, but don't forget their characteristics.

You want these nearly a thousand brave and combative Ghost Faced Monks to transfer? To escape from danger? They are different from us. They don't see life and death in their eyes, only battle.

When they see danger, they can't wait to go up. If it weren't for the two of us stopping them and restraining them, they would have rushed to the other side of the mountain long ago...

If you let them transfer now, these guys could rebel in a minute!

Haven't you noticed their expressions all this time? They are all looking forward to the arrival of the war."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but grin and said, "They are really staunch!"

At the same time, in Jiang Xiao's heart, he replaced "staunch" with "brainless."

Jin Lü spoke again and said, "I can, with you, fight."

Jiang Xiao: "..."

The things they were discussing were obviously not on the same level. The Eagle Falcon brothers were worried about the fate of Ye Old Pagoda, while this Jin Lü was only thinking about fighting Jiang Xiao.

With repeated challenges, it was of course impossible for Jiang Xiao to back down. He said, "Friend, you've come to the right person. I may not be good at anything else, but I'm very good at fighting."

Hearing this, the golden eyes of the Ghost Faced Monk suddenly widened, shining brightly, making people feel a little flustered.

Jiang Xiao was of course confident in saying this.

In the lower dimension, Jin Lü were Gold-rank creatures, and their two Star Techniques were "Immovable" (losing the ability to move, increasing a certain amount of defense, immune to knockback and dizziness. Silver quality) and "Golden Staff" (a blow to the head, dispelling gloom, inspiring people. Gold quality).

A blow from this staff might really kill someone...

However, Jiang Xiao's Qing Mang was clearly restraining the "Immovable" Star Technique. If the opponent really used this Star Technique, then they would be immune to the knockback effect. In this way, Qing Mang would only have the "powerful strike" effect, which would double the damage to Jin Lü.

Although this exploration skin was just bait, and the Qing Mang Star Technique was only of Gold quality, coupled with the sharp flower blade, the damage value would definitely explode.

The only fear was that Jin Lü was of Diamond rank. After the second comprehensive improvement of his physical fitness, his combat power could be imagined.

But the Jin Lü here were clearly of Platinum rank. So, for Jiang Xiao, it was playable.

Moreover, Jiang Xiao currently possessed the core Star Technique of "Desperate Blade", and should be able to exchange a few blows with the opponent.

Well... Jiang Xiao was indeed getting cocky. A half-step Star Sea bait actually felt that he could exchange a few blows with a Platinum-rank combat master...

"Good, hehe, good, good..." Jin Lü's smile widened, and his laughter became more and more sinister.

Seeing this scene, Li Haoge knew that this sparring match was inevitable.

Yue Yuchen's heart was slightly expectant. After all, this was the vice-captain of a numbered team in the Light Chasing Group. He might want to see Jiang Xiao's strength.

"Here, now, start," Jin Lü said, looking eager.

Li Haoge stopped him again: "Jin Shiqi! The visitors are guests, let them rest for a while. Besides, didn't you see that his stone knife is so tattered? Go get him a good knife later, and fight on the arena tomorrow."

Jin Lü clenched his fists, his long nails piercing into his dark skin, and black blood flowed down.

Jiang Xiao quickly collected information. Jin Lü's skin defense was very strong. From this, their nails should be very sharp.

"Let's go, we'll go see the Pioneer, and we'll get you a good knife," Li Haoge said.

Jiang Xiao curiously looked at Jin Lü, and found that his self-control was really strong. He really did suppress his nature. From this scene, it could be seen that the two members of the Eagle Falcon team had a very high prestige here.

The group walked towards the outside of the tower, and Jiang Xiao asked curiously, "My knife is a bit big, not a common weapon. Do you have it here?"

"We can forge one for you." A rare smile appeared on Li Haoge's dignified face. "The Pioneer gained the respect of the Ghost Faced Monks with his ability to forge weapons. Only then did this city come into being."

"Oh?" Jiang Xiao became interested. "Is one night's time too rushed?"

Li Haoge said: "He has Star Techniques, no problem."

"Ya~" Jiang Xiao secretly exclaimed. Had he encountered a weapon master? He was in luck. "What's the Pioneer's name? How old is he? Which unit is he from?"

"He doesn't want to reveal his name. The Ghost Faced Monks who have learned the Hua Xia language all call him 'Big Hammer'," Li Haoge explained. "Only my brother and I call him the Pioneer."

Jiang Xiao: "That's a down-to-earth name."

To the side, Yue Yuchen listened to Jiang Xiao's conversation, looking at the expressions and states of the Jiang Xiao trio. He could be said to be increasingly confident.

These three had heard of the crisis here, and clearly knew that the Desperate race could come at any time, but no one showed the slightest sign of retreat. It seemed that these people should be very strong.

The group walked in the dark city, and had already walked for more than a dozen streets, but still had not arrived at the second tower. This Ye Old Pagoda City was really a bit big.

As they walked, Jiang Xiao suddenly realized a serious problem. He leaned close to Li Haoge and whispered, "The Ghost Faced Monks in the lower dimension don't have gender distinctions."

Li Haoge: "Neither do they here."

Jiang Xiao: "Then how do they reproduce?"

Li Haoge gestured to a solitary house in front of them and said, "We're here."

With that, Li Haoge turned to look at Jiang Xiao and said, "Fission."

Jiang Xiao: "Fission!?"

Li Haoge nodded and walked forward: "That scene is very strange. At first, you may not be used to it. You'll get used to it after seeing it more."

Jiang Xiao: "..."

As they approached, they heard the sound of "ding ding dang dang."

This was a single-family courtyard, very similar to the courtyards in the capital. Moreover, compared to the other buildings on the street, the courtyard gate was relatively small, clearly built to match the human figure.

Jiang Xiao's footsteps paused slightly, but he saw the楹联 (ying lian: vertical written couplets posted on either side of a doorway) on both sides of the door.

Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. Was this still a refined scholar?

Thinking of the blind girl beside him, Jiang Xiao muttered: "一壶冷水万转千肠 (Yi hu leng shui wan zhuan qian chang: A pot of cold water, a thousand twists and turns)."

Jiang Xiao looked at the other side of the doorpost: "殷山几许难以还乡 (Yin shan ji xu nan yi huan xiang: How many times Yin Mountain, it is difficult to return home)."

"Ding ding ding..." A burst of knocking sounds came. Li Haoge stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door.

Yue Yuchen said: "Sir."

"Enter." A male voice came from inside the courtyard.

The group pushed the door open and entered. Jiang Xiao saw a brawny man with a bare torso wielding a hammer. Not only was his back sweaty, appearing slippery under the light of the fire, but even his head was a big bald head, which didn't match the words "refined scholar" at all.

Li Haoge said: "Three Hua Xia comrades have come, people from the Wilderness Army and the Night Watch."

"Hmm?" The bald man turned around. He was about forty years old, with a face full of fierce flesh and an extremely strong body. He held a small hammer in his hand, hammering the red-hot weapon, seemingly also hammering his body.

The bald man's eyes lit up. His style, which was originally incomparably sturdy, revealed a childlike smile. He wiped his sweaty bald head with one hand and said, "Hua Xia people? Compatriots? Do you have people from the Central Plains?"

Jiang Xiao said: "People from Beijiang."

"Oh." The bald man sighed with slight disappointment, then suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, "Come in quickly, the night is cold. We have friends coming from afar, let's warm up!"

Jiang Xiao smiled dumbly and said, "This accent from the three northeastern provinces is pure."

The big man stretched out a hand, and a stream of water gushed out, splashing on the red-hot weapon. In an instant, a cloud of water mist filled the air. "I stayed in Zhongji for a few years, come in quickly, I have a few jars of wine hidden, let's open them today! Haha!"

Jiang Xiao and He Yun looked at each other. This sturdy scholar was also a bit interesting.
