Chapter 25 A Woman's Mouth

“The back seat is for leaders. When there are only two people, remember to sit next to your friend. It's polite,” Xia Yan said from the driver's seat, looking at Jiang Xiao in the rearview mirror.

Jiang Xiao shrugged, opened the door, and sat in the passenger seat. “We’re too perfect for each other. I’m afraid people will think we’re a couple if I sit in the passenger seat.”

Xia Yan was stunned for a moment, almost speechless. After a while, she said angrily, “We’re perfect for each other!?”

Jiang Xiao’s perfunctory manner was just like dealing with a disobedient girlfriend. “Yeah, yeah, I got it. No need to be so loud.”

Xia Yan: “*%¥#!!!”

The black Land Rover roared all the way, directly into Jiannan Village. Along the way, Jiang Xiao didn't dare to be cheeky again, for fear that this bad woman would kick him out of the car.

To Jiang Xiao’s surprise, this time Xia Yan entered the Snowfield, she not only didn't look for Han Jiangxue, but she didn't even hire soldiers from the institution.

Under normal circumstances, this was not allowed.

To ensure the safety of the Awakened and to achieve a supervisory role, Awakened teams coming here would basically be forced to add a soldier to act as a guide and bodyguard.

But he didn't know if Xia Yan's strength was strong enough, or if she spent more money. This time, they were the only two-person team entering the Snowfield.

Jiang Xiao didn't dare to say anything, but he always felt that a two-person team entering the Snowfield was more like a suicide mission.

However, based on the relationship between Xia Yan and Han Jiangxue, plus Xia Yan's essentially good nature, she had no reason to deliberately kill Jiang Xiao.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao didn't know whether to be relieved or worried.

Fortunately, Xia Yan also explained that the situation they encountered last time was a special case. Generally speaking, the chance of encountering White Ghosts was very small, and the chance of encountering such a large White Ghost population was even smaller.

In essence, White Ghosts were not social creatures. They were born hunters, and what was even more terrifying was that their prey was their own kind.

If you found a White Ghost tribe in the Snowfield, either they were gathered by a White Ghost Shaman, or there were powerful individuals within the tribe who could suppress a group of fierce and irritable hunters.

In a nutshell: Level suppression.

But in most cases, White Ghosts were lone rangers.

These magical White Ghosts were similar to mammals on Earth, and they possessed incredibly vigorous energy, constantly in heat.

Generally, after a female White Ghost mated with a male White Ghost, she would kick the male White Ghost away and raise her children alone until they were born.

A mother's nature would restrain the female White Ghost from hunting her cubs. At this time, paternal love was very unreliable. When hungry, male White Ghosts would not only eat their offspring, but also their wives.

Of course, female White Ghosts also had the phenomenon of eating their offspring. In general, their intelligence was not high, and their blood flowed with the genes of slaughter. Sometimes, a mother's nature could not overcome the bloodthirsty nature.

Fortunately, their reproductive ability was extremely strong, otherwise, the White Ghost population could destroy itself.

Humans mechanically applied the theories of their own society, and finally were able to explain some situations clearly, but this was, after all, a magical other-dimensional world, and many things could not be explained clearly. The species here were extremely simple, and it seemed that they could not form a complete biological chain.

Getting back to the topic.

Jiang Xiao was wearing snow camouflage clothing, dark blue ski goggles, and a military backpack, following Xia Yan into the Snowfield.

Xia Yan was also wearing snow camouflage clothing, carrying a two-meter-long giant blade, taking the lead.

Returning to this magical world again gave Jiang Xiao a feeling as if he had been away for a lifetime.

It was still that white snowy world, still that dim sky, the stars in the sky were shining brightly, and the aurora in the distant sky flickered like a dream.

This scene was so magnificent, more shocking than any science fiction blockbuster.

"What exactly is the mission this time? To test the results of my week of training?" Jiang Xiao caught up with Xia Yan in front and asked.

Compared to last time, the weather conditions in the Snowfield were much better this time. Without the howling wind, it was so quiet here.

Xia Yan walked forward, her feet stepped on the snow, making a "squeak squeak" sound, which was very pleasant.

Xia Yan said, "More or less."

Jiang Xiao tentatively asked, "Isn't it a bit radical? I've only been training for a week and just understood some basic movements."

"I think your basic skills are very solid, even more solid than mine back then. You don't need to be modest," Xia Yan turned to look at Jiang Xiao, her beautiful eyes, set off by the bright starry sky, seemed so beautiful.

"Uh..." Jiang Xiao hesitated for a moment. Maybe it was because of the Inner Vision Star Map. Although his hand-to-hand combat was only Bronze quality Lv.5, he really grasped the essentials of the movements very solidly.

"Reading ten thousand books, of course, you must also travel ten thousand miles." Xia Yan strode forward, finally looking a bit like a mentor, "Before this, you were just a rookie who didn't understand anything, without anything in your stomach. Even if you traveled ten thousand miles, you would only be a postman."

Xia Yan patted Jiang Xiao on the shoulder and said, "But now it's different. You completed the task I expected to be completed in a month in a week. You can be considered to have read a few books, and it's time to embark on this journey."

Jiang Xiao was silent, knowing that she had more to say.

"Training, after all, is training. Lei Jin will only give you the pressure of winning or losing, but White Ghosts will give you the pressure of life and death." Xia Yan said softly, "A real beast is never trained, but killed."

"You have far more potential, more perseverance, and more hard work than your sister imagines. I saw your transformation within 7 days, even I think it's a fantasy now, but you really did it." Xia Yan's words made Jiang Xiao feel cold inside.

Was he showing off too much? He should be more low-key.

"Your basic movements are already very solid. You are indeed a genius, a...genius with only 9 star slots." Xia Yan's words seemed to have some admiration and some regret.

"In the next 10 days, the two of us will live here." Xia Yan walked forward and saw the red star flag flickering with red light in the air, then put her arm around Jiang Xiao's shoulder and turned his face straight, "Surviving in this Snowfield."

Jiang Xiao: ???

Xia Yan smiled and said, "Don't look at that stronghold, we won't step into it."

Jiang Xiao stopped and said with a serious expression, "I think this task is more suitable for me a month later."

"No." Xia Yan shook her head and said with a smile, "In 10 days, you will return to school to participate in the final stage of military training. In 15 days, you will shine in the military training graduation assessment. After that, you will be exceptionally added to my team."

Jiang Xiao was silent for a long time and said, "Xia Yan, I am very grateful for everything you have done for me, but I am only a freshman in high school, my body is just growing, and my star power is still very weak. Performing outdoor missions with you senior high school elites is not ideal..."

"Then I'll put it another way." Xia Yan interrupted Jiang Xiao forcefully and said, "You will join your sister's team. Her team lacks a support staff member. You know the scarcity of medical Awakened, and you know how important support is for a team."

Jiang Xiao said with some difficulty, "I'm just a small fry with a Bronze quality 'Blessing' Star Technique. I'm not stupid. I've seen your strength. Even if you count all the high schools in Beijiang Province, you are among the best. I can't even last one round in your hands."

"Having basic medical Star Techniques has already proven your potential. Leave the matter of high-quality medical Star Techniques to me." Xia Yan shook her head and denied Jiang Xiao's point of view, "Medical Awakened are different from other types of Awakened. You don't need to last one round in someone else's hands, because I won't let anyone get close to you."

Hearing this, how could he not be a little touched?

Looking at Xia Yan in front of him, and thinking of Han Jiangxue, who had given everything for him, Jiang Xiao finally sighed helplessly.

"One condition."

Xia Yan: "Hmm? Say it."

Jiang Xiao: "Of all the White Ghost Star Beads we kill, we split them 82%, I get 8, you get 2."

Xia Yan: "I'm not 2, 1 will do."

Jiang Xiao smiled and said, "You said it."

Xia Yan also smiled: "Also, don't misunderstand, I won't kill enemies with you, I'm just here to protect you."

Jiang Xiao: ???

Didn't you just say not to let anyone get close to me?

Did you forget so quickly?

A woman's mouth,

A deceiving ghost!
