Chapter 3 After Three Days

Three days later, in the desolate southeast region of the snowy plains, rarely visited by humans.

A four-person team was engaged in a fierce battle against a small group of White Ghosts.

This small group consisted of eight White Ghosts, led by one that was still at the Bronze stage, but it was taller and physically stronger than other White Ghosts of its kind.

"3-1!" Han Jiangxue shouted sharply. The team had originally been in a 2-1-1 formation, with Jiang Xiao at the tail of the "T" shape. Upon hearing the command, Jiang Xiao moved forward quickly!

His fist radiated a dense cyan light, carrying wind and snow as he leapt forward, directly inserting himself between Li Weiyi and Xia Yan, his target being the White Ghost leader.

Han Jiangxue's command came just as Xia Yan's blade was about to land and Li Weiyi was retreating behind his shield.

Jiang Xiao's appearance immediately reinforced the team's defensive line, preventing the White Ghost leader from breaking through.

Under the silvery-blue light, the White Ghost leader wasn't greatly harmed, but it was forced back several steps by Jiang Xiao's attack.

"2-2!" Han Jiangxue's voice came at the right moment. She controlled the battlefield with Desolate Wind while closely monitoring the situation ahead.

Jiang Xiao was no longer the impulsive youth he once was. After several days of formation practice, he was now familiar with the team's coordination.

Jiang Xiao finally understood why Li Weiyi and Xia Yan reacted so naturally to Han Jiangxue's every command. Their conditioned reflexes were like those of well-trained police dogs.

Jiang Xiao had once secretly mocked Xia Yan and Li Weiyi, but after several days of working together, he thoroughly understood the feeling. He was now no different from the other two team members.

Jiang Xiao quickly retreated. The commander's orders were unquestionable. The commander was the core of the team, and every command kept the machine running efficiently. If one part failed, it could endanger not only the next teammate but the entire team.

Although the orders were unquestionable, Jiang Xiao could still display his creativity within the limited range of movement. As he retreated, he raised his hand and cast a Blessing on the White Ghost directly in front of Li Weiyi.

There was a reason why Jiang Xiao was called the "Poisonous Healer" by Hai Tianqing!

Jiang Xiao's Blessing was Silver quality, which was indeed more powerful than the average Blessing, but the side effects were also greater.

Even the teammates who had been Blessed countless times were still having difficulty adapting, let alone others.

And White Ghosts certainly fell into the category of "others."

The moment the White Ghost clashed with Li Weiyi, its raised right claw suddenly froze in mid-air.

On this battlefield of life and death, a moment's hesitation could determine everything.

Li Weiyi saw the White Ghost enveloped in light. Without a word, he moved his black shield to his side with his left hand, and with his right hand, he swung his long-handled war hammer, which was covered in dense star power, and smashed it down with all his might!

*Bang!*

The head shattered, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Xia Yan didn't even need Jiang Xiao's special help. She once again picked up her giant blade, landed in front of Li Weiyi, and slashed horizontally with the huge blade, releasing a Flame Arc.

The crimson Flame Arc stirred up the snow on the ground, striking the distant White Ghost with incredible speed and accuracy.

After the 2-2 formation, Han Jiangxue leaned back against Jiang Xiao, and with a wave of her left hand, layers of overlapping space appeared to her left.

A White Ghost "swooshed" directly into the layers of overlapping space.

Jiang Xiao endured it again and again, almost kicking out in frustration. He immediately used Blessing to buff his teammates.

The team advanced and retreated with rhythm, defending and counterattacking with impenetrable precision. So far, no team member had been injured, so they didn't need the healing of Bell, but rather the buffs from Blessing.

"2-2 Split, Jiang-Xia, Leader." Han Jiangxue pushed with both hands, and two gusts of Desolate Wind blew Jiang Xiao and Xia Yan, who was in the middle of fighting, away.

Xia Yan was originally in the fighting circle, being manipulated like a puppet, but she had no complaints.

Xia Yan and Jiang Xiao staggered as they landed. Under Han Jiangxue's skillful control, they landed just behind the White Ghost leader.

But the two of them simply passed over the heads of the other ghosts, coming to the other side of the battle circle without truly leaving the fight.

Since Han Jiangxue said "2-2 Split," it meant that the split group had to create distance.

Xia Yan and Jiang Xiao quickly retreated, but their retreating steps couldn't match the speed of the White Ghost leader's advance.

Han Jiangxue, controlling the Desolate Wind, had already flown into the sky. Li Weiyi, who was being besieged by four White Ghosts below, stomped heavily on the ground.

*Rumble!*

The exploding flames were fierce, carrying intense fire damage and a violent explosive force, instantly blowing the four White Ghosts away.

The White Ghost leader was drawn to the commotion and moved forward in that direction, but it was also caught in the blast.

The quickly retreating Jiang and Xia narrowly escaped.

Xia Yan stomped her right foot heavily on the ground, splashing snowflakes everywhere, and stabilized her body. She slightly tilted her body, changing from wielding the blade with one hand to wielding it with both hands.

Looking at the White Ghost leader affected by the explosive force, watching its staggering body, Jiang Xiao didn't hesitate and Healed!

A poisonous Heal!

To heal,

Is also to kill!

Xia Yan's bright eyes became incomparably sharp, and she licked her blood-stained lips with her small tongue. The inadvertent little action exuded extreme charm and allure.

Her hands dragged the giant blade as she stepped forward in a lunge. Her chestnut-colored short hair fluttered in the wind, and the huge blade drew a perfect arc from bottom to top, splitting the wind and snow along the way. The Flame Arc slammed heavily into the White Ghost leader.

The severely injured White Ghost flew backward again, plunging into the range of Li Weiyi's Flame Split, into the exploding flames.

In the sky, Han Jiangxue's left hand fell naturally, controlling the Desolate Wind beneath her feet, while her right hand stretched diagonally downward, and a fireball condensed into shape.

The Star Map of White Flame appeared on her body, with thirty Star Slots faintly visible beneath the white flames, dreamlike and illusory, like an unattainable dream.

Silver quality Star Technique: Explosive Flame.

The Explosive Flame Ball also plunged into Li Weiyi's exploding flames. The next moment, the sound of the explosion seemed to pierce through the clouds.

The turbulent flames and the stars in the sky gazed at each other from afar, illuminating the dim sky.

In the forest, a solitary figure watched the four-person team from afar, his gaze fixed on Han Jiangxue as she slowly descended, and he exhaled in admiration.

Eight White Ghosts, six Bronze Star Beads. The harvest was not bad.

Jiang Xiao pulled out the dagger from his right thigh, skillfully harvested the Star Beads, and conveniently cut off the right hands of the eight White Ghosts, walking to Han Jiangxue.

Han Jiangxue watched Jiang Xiao throw the White Ghost right hands into the Shattered Space and conveniently handed the six Star Beads to her.

Han Jiangxue took the six Star Beads with her right hand and gently rubbed Jiang Xiao's head with her left, saying, "Well done."

Jiang Xiao tilted his head, dodging her palm.

Xia Yan walked over and said, "It's been three days, and we haven't seen a single White Ghost Witch."

Li Weiyi cheered everyone up: "The deeper we go along this route, the more powerful the monsters will be."

The group left behind a ground full of corpses, which didn't need to be cleaned up because White Ghosts attracted by the smell of blood would eat them.

The four-person team continued to go deeper, Jiang Xiao tugging on Xia Yan's arm, slowly falling to the back of the team.

"What's wrong? Dear Little Rascal?" Xia Yan's impression of Jiang Xiao had indeed greatly changed, and her attitude towards him was getting better and better.

Jiang Xiao whispered, "If I don't show my Star Map from now on, can I continue to upgrade the quality of my Star Techniques?"

Xia Yan's beautiful eyes lit up: "Eh?"
