“Oh my god, give me a way out...” Jiang Xiao grabbed the palm that was on his head with both his hands. Although the owner of the palm was moving about continuously, he kept his hand steady because he had to maintain his balance.

Jiang Xiao was feeling giddy, dizzy, and nauseous.

He was feeling even worse emotionally. However, one ought to go all the way since they had decided to help someone.

Boss, thank you for giving me a hand, but can you not run while holding me like this? You can at least hold onto my arm.

Are you walking now?

But you’re dribbling me like a ball.

Why can’t you run like a Fire ninja? Extend your arm and straighten it! Don’t flail your arms!

All of a sudden, Jiang Xiao felt an obvious decrease in speed and grabbed the cold palm on his head, after which he grabbed his tightly, for fear that it would be twisted because of inertia.

Fortunately, he seemed rather reliable as he threw Jiang Xiao onto the snow after slowing down.

Jiang Xiao staggered and landed straight onto the ground, causing snow to fly up into his mouth as he felt giddy and nauseous.

Unfortunately, the snow was too cold.

On the bright side, it was invigorating.

Hmm...

Jiang Xiao gave himself a Blessing while he was in a daze.

“Ah~” he moaned softly and shyly, but he knew that it would definitely cure everything.

He suddenly heard a female voice that was not gentle or beautiful. Instead, it was hoarse and full of murderous intent.

Under the miraculous healing of Blessing, Jiang Xiao continuously recovered and began to feel less nauseous. He frantically got up and crawled towards the side. He then hid behind a tree and observed the situation.

He seemed to have seen a domineering pursuer who seemed to be about 1.9 meters tall and had an unusually burly figure. He was wearing a military uniform and a mask, looking just like a tall and strong bear.

It seemed just like a menacing beast, as an icy cold gaze formed in his eyes that seemed particularly eye-catching in the dim sky.

Jiang Xiao carefully clawed at the tree trunk and looked at the menacing beast. All of a sudden, he felt terrible.

The person who saved me was actually Second Last?

When he met her for the first time in the cave, the burly “Second Last” had already targeted Jiang Xiao, and she seemed to be suspecting towards Jiang Xiao, as she harbored some animosity against him.

To his surprise, she turned out to be the one who saved him.

Jiang Xiao seemed to have seen a larger beast.

She was much taller than the beast opposite them. Although her body was much more slender, she had a large frame.

Her face was stiff and sullen, and her eyes were dark and deep with intense murderous intent. Although her looks were ordinary, she was definitely domineering, and her burly frame made her look even more majestic and heroic.

Compared to her, Xia Yan indeed seemed just like a puerile little girl that had to train again.

However, Jiang Xiao felt that Xia Yan would seem just as daunting and menacing if she were to be faced with life-and-death situations every day.

While thinking, a brown bear and a panther seemed to have begun communicating.

“*&%¥#...”

Jiang Xiao again heard the strange language which he did not understand. However, he had lived in Beijiang for long enough to know that it was Russian.

She’s speaking Russian?

The brown bear finally began to speak.

Jiang Xiao frowned and wondered, The ones who attacked the Guardians Of The Night in the snowfield are Russian?

Or are they some kind of mercenary corps?

Jiang Xiao thought about it again and decided to give Second Last a Blessing.

“Um... Ahem...” The lady froze a little with a sullen expression on her face. She then let out an alluring moan.

The mercenary corps on the opposite side suddenly broke out.

They waved their arms and the snow beneath the woman’s feet blew up suddenly. The mud hidden under the snow instantly covered the woman’s ankle and began to strengthen continuously.

At the same time, the mercenary corps also dashed in and smashed into Second Last.

Under the freezing temperatures, the woman’s chest heaved up and down, and she began to blush slightly. Her gaze seemed to have become less murderous too.

Despite staring at the intimidating mercenary that was bulldozing towards her, she seemed to still be stuck in a beautiful dream.

Jiang Xiao got a great shock and he thought, Did I stir trouble?

This healing... seems to be a burden!

Trust me, I have good intentions.

I just want to heal you, not harm you...

Jiang Xiao panicked and waved his hands to give the mercenary corps a Blessing.

The mercenary corps’ quick and heavy footsteps suddenly became chaotic, and he staggered backward uncontrollably.

However, the inertia caused by the huge impact was not so easy to remove. At the same time, the woman’s face grew sullen and the short-term side effects passed. A piece of meat that was staggering in a disorderly pace was right in front of her.

Second Last’s eyes lit up slightly and she spat out some cool mist before lighting up her Star Map.

Jiang Xiao felt himself getting dizzy and he was blinded by Brass, Silver, and Gold light.

Is this a Star Map?

What kind of animal is exhibited under the Star Power?

Cat?

Panther?

Tiger?

Or is it... the crew-cut boy?

The outline of the beast was indeed a little blurry. However, it was still a four-limbed creature.

It would seem like a rabbit that had no ears.

Jiang Xiao could not deduce what kind of an animal it was, but he was sure...

This woman had a total of 28 star slots!

28!

Heavenly wizards!

A total of 16 star slots were lit up and she had a total of 16 Star Techniques!

Three Brass Quality, nine Silver Quality, and four Gold Quality Star Techniques.

Everyone knew that the Awakened had to obey the requirements of the upgrading of Star Power.

Only four star slots could be lit up during the Stardust Stage.

Four more star slots could be added during the Nebula Stage.

The Awakened would be considered truly Awakened only after they had passed the Galaxy Stage. There would be a qualitative change, and another eight star slots would be added.

In other words, Second Last was an Awakened who was at least in the Galaxy Stage!

What was the Galaxy Stage?

Had he not seen it with his own eyes, Jiang Xiao would have never known how terrifying an Awakened in the Galaxy Stage was!

He stared at the Star Power on his Star Map which was rich and flowing like a river.

Thinking about his pathetic Stardust Stage Star Power, he felt that the stardust was about to turn into dust.

The appearance was secondary, the most shocking thing was the magnificent and terrifying Star Power which Jiang Xiao could feel even from outside the battlefield.

Jiang Xiao could see the eighth star slot in the woman’s Star Map which ignited slightly and lit up the entire snowy night.

The gloomy ghosts suddenly became more vibrant and incompatible with her pitch-dark phantom.

Jiang Xiao did not manage to see what exactly her attacking method was, but he soon saw the phantom flashing rapidly before passing through the mercenary corp’s body!

Whee...

A metallic sound that resembled nails on a chalkboard filled the air as if someone had cut metal.

It passed through?

Did it actually pass through!?!

Or is there something wrong with the angle I’m looking in?

While Jiang Xiao was feeling bewildered, he saw a mercenary corp putting a hand on his neck before falling onto the ground.

Second Last squatted and leaned forward while her body slid back continuously and her ponytail flew forwards, leaving behind deep trails of footsteps on the ground.

Has it ended?

One fatal shot?

This girl is really powerful, maybe it should...

Bang!

The mercenary corp who fell slammed against the ground forcefully and slowly got up.

Second Last, who was continuously gliding, seemed to have expected such a situation since a long time ago. She grabbed the back of the mercenary corp’s head mercilessly.

At this moment, a Star Map appeared on the mercenary corp who was crawling up, his Golden Quality Star Technique appearing extremely eye-catching.

The snow became a beautiful camouflage. After being overturned, the frozen mud seemed to have poured out like a river, engulfing the woman and him.

Jiang Xiao watched the two of them fight and did not even have the opportunity to make a remark.

What have I done wrong? Why must I see this?

I’m just a child...

I’d better go play with Gao Junwei and Gao Junchen.
