Chapter 58 Madman

A head slowly emerged from the soil, cautiously attempting to observe the situation within the Holy Ruins.

However, the moment his eyes surfaced above the soil, a pair of sharp claws directly shattered his skull, and swiftly lifted his corpse out, throwing it into the ruins, causing a scramble among the White Ghosts.

In Erwei's right hand, connected with blood and flesh, she pulled out a large handful of something. As the burning flames covered that steel palm, the flames incinerated the large handful of flesh and blood, revealing a star bead shimmering with light.

Without a word, Erwei quickly ran to another location, absorbing the star bead in her hand as she joined the whack-a-mole game once again.

"Killing enemies beyond your level, skill points +5."

With large numbers of White Ghosts pouring in, Jiang Xiao no longer hesitated with his skill points and directly threw 5 skill points into the basic skill "Dagger Mastery."

The bronze quality Lv.5 Dagger Mastery directly upgraded to silver quality Lv.0.

To level up again, it would require 10 skill points.

At that moment, while absorbing White Ghost star beads, various moves and techniques emerged in Jiang Xiao's mind. His body involuntarily trembled slightly, and his right hand wiped the dagger from his leg. It was as if he had been immersed in that technique for several years, giving Jiang Xiao a sense of security.

Jiang Xiao continued to absorb White Ghost star beads while imprinting marks on his teammates.

The scene in these Holy Ruins was simply eye-popping. Pieces of White Ghost and White Ghost Wizard star beads were scattered on the ground, rolling around everywhere, like a gold mine.

Finally, the White Ghost horde poured in from all directions, and an information message imprinted itself in Jiang Xiao's mind once more.

"Killing enemies beyond your level, skill points +5."

Erwei!

I praise you!

Inner Star Map, please don't determine that I'm teamed up with Han Jiangxue, Li Weiyi, and Xia Yan.

Please continue to let me stay in Erwei's team...

After losing two great generals, the moles underfoot seemed to have quieted down quite a bit.

And the enemies of the group changed from the mercenary团 underfoot to the White Ghosts surging in from all directions.

Like Jiang Xiao, Hai Tianqing scooped up a handful of star beads from the ground, absorbing them quickly, and once again planted a sapphire scepter in the ground.

However, this time, the radiating sapphires did not deal indiscriminate damage; they didn't shock Hai Tianqing, nor did they shock any teammates.

Could it be that this kind of attack also had an "imprinting" technique like his Seal?

Jiang Xiao thought about it, but Hai Tianqing hadn't touched his body at all.

Could it be the light yellow gemstone scepter from before?

Wasn't it supposed to restore everyone's condition? Does it also have an imprinting effect?

Only that light yellow gemstone scepter could explain it, after all, only that scepter shone on everyone when the Holy Ruins were cleared.

Li Weiyi looked distressed, carrying the shield and guarding everyone, retreating to a corner of the stone wall: "We won't go down, they won't come out, but these White Ghosts can exhaust us to death."

As he spoke, waves of soil surged, transforming into a mudflow swamp, with countless mud dragons darting out, binding all living beings, and dragging them into the flowing mud river.

Even without those mud dragons binding them, people's ankles were already submerged in the mudflow river, and being swallowed up was only a matter of time.

"Swamp?" Li Weiyi was shocked.

The moment he spoke, Li Weiyi's feet were suddenly bound by a mud snake, quickly dragging him downwards.

Hai Tianqing hurriedly grabbed Li Weiyi's hand, trying to pull him upwards...

Jiang Xiao and the others didn't know, but the Night Watchers were very clear that the Mudflow River and Mudflow Swamp, such rare gold-quality star techniques, were only possessed by a few of the mercenary团's leaders and vice leaders.

Now that Mudflow Swamp had appeared, where was Yiwei, who was fighting fiercely with the mercenary团 leader?

Had she already been defeated and killed?

"Captain..." Erwei stomped on the head of a White Ghost, that cracked, charcoal-like face shouldn't have been able to show any expression, but those long and narrow phoenix eyes drooped.

The煞神-like (shàshén - evil god-like) Erwei, rarely revealed a trace of sadness: "Do you, like me, beg someone who passes by to bring news of your death on the battlefield back home?"

Such heart-wrenching words were drowned out by the roaring tide of White Ghosts.

Like nameless and faceless heroes who ultimately fell, few knew, no one cared, and ultimately they were submerged in the tides of history.

Lost in sentimental emotions, Erwei's killing continued, but it was as if she had lost her灵性 (língxìng - spiritual nature), the aura of bloodthirsty slaughter slowed, and she was immersed in another world.

Ringtone, ringtone, ringtone...

The crisp and melodious chime of the bell suddenly awakened Erwei, she held the loudly yelling White Ghost in one hand, pushed the White Ghost's body forward, and walked forward with large strides, her pair of scarlet phoenix eyes fixed on Jiang Xiao.

"Speak!" Jiang Xiao shouted a single word loudly.

The trio of students in front of him were slightly stunned.

Erwei constantly kicked down the White Ghosts on the way, using them as padding to alleviate her sinking tendency: "The person using Mudflow Swamp is the same as the one we killed in the snowfield. Only I can stun him."

"You want to play your trick of dying together again?" Jiang Xiao asked sternly.

Han Jiangxue manipulated the wasteland winds, while supporting the team, she looked at Jiang Xiao next to her in surprise.

She had never seen such a serious side of Jiang Xiao. She couldn't even imagine that the carefree, joking Jiang Xiao could be so stern.

How long has it been?

He laughed, he was mischievous, he rolled his eyes helplessly, and muttered in disgust.

She had never seen him angry or furious.

Erwei's charcoal-like face suddenly changed, her scarlet gaze widened slightly, becoming even more terrifying: "You're lecturing me."

"Yes." Jiang Xiao frantically absorbed the White Ghost star beads, and responded without hesitation.

Eh?

How did a White Ghost Wizard star bead sneak in?

Don't mess around here...

"What's your plan?" Erwei skillfully slaughtered the White Ghosts with her huge figure, pressing them one by one under her feet, slowing the downward trend.

Even if she was struck and bitten by the sharp teeth and claws of the White Ghosts, they couldn't break through her defense at all. The White Ghosts felt burnt hands and mouths instead.

"Plans are made by people!" Jiang Xiao shouted loudly, "Where is that person?"

Erwei's movements stopped, as if she realized that Jiang Xiao already had a plan.

She hadn't been in contact with Jiang Xiao for a long time, but from the moment he rescued her from her shackles, to his thinking and reactions along the way, Erwei had a general understanding of him.

This kid is trustworthy.

Erwei's charcoal-like nose twitched slightly, her huge body was instantly swarmed by the White Ghost horde, but the White Ghosts screamed as they got burned, scrambling to avoid the magma giant.

"Clear the field for a moment." Jiang Xiao said quickly, and then said to Han Jiangxue, "Move closer to her, quick, just the two of us go over, I can't control the force if there are too many people."

Han Jiangxue's brow was tightly furrowed, facing a battlefield with a slim chance of survival, her heart was struggling intensely.

Option 1: Fly out of the Holy Ruins with Jiang Xiao and try to escape.

Option 2: Follow Jiang Xiao's command, break up the enemy's attack, and eliminate the Mudflow Swamp.

Han Jiangxue hesitated.

Erwei flung away the White Ghosts on her body, the powerful force was not something the White Ghosts could resist. She easily broke free from the clinging claws of the White Ghost horde, and came to the center directly below the spatial light cluster, using the groups of White Ghosts pouring in as flooring.

"You want to be my commander?" Erwei asked with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, her entire state seeming out of place with this chaotic and dangerous battlefield.

"I guess so." Jiang Xiao responded, and the next moment, Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue flew directly to Erwei's side.

In the end, it was Xia Yan and Li Weiyi who made Han Jiangxue choose to take a gamble.

They had abandoned their lives and accompanied Han Jiangxue here, and she found it difficult to make the decision to escape with Jiang Xiao.

Trust him one more time, just like she had been doing for the past few months.

"Clear the field, quick!" Jiang Xiao urged.

Erwei spread her hands out flat, tilted her head back slightly, and the fire tornado struck again.

Han Jiangxue constantly blew the White Ghosts out of the safe zone, blowing them into the firestorm.

Erwei's body stepped on the muddy soil, constantly sinking, but the fire tornado was still resolutely activated, and along with it, the soil was also rolled up, quickly piling towards the central point where Erwei stood.

"Erwei, you're crazy!" Hai Tianqing shouted angrily from afar. The range of the fire tornado was controlled just right, not hurting him sticking to the wall, but he seemed to see Erwei committing suicide.

"Confirm he's here?" Jiang Xiao asked.

"Confirmed." The Mudflow Swamp had submerged Erwei's knees, and several mud snakes wrapped around her, quickly dragging her down.

"Han Jiangxue, watch your Shattered Space." Jiang Xiao shouted, "Erwei, at the first moment you see the target, throw him into Han Jiangxue's spatial star technique, don't explode with him."

As he spoke, Jiang Xiao raised his fist high, and a rich cyan glow covered his fist.

And in Jiang Xiao's Inner Star Map, above the Big Dipper Nine Stars star map,

The second star slot had already turned into a dazzling gold quality!

"Cyan Glow upgraded! Golden Quality Lv.0!"

"Endurance upgraded! Golden Quality Lv.0!"

Bang!

The viscous Mudflow Swamp was directly blasted out with a large pit, mud flying, star power overflowing.

Hai Tianqing was dumbstruck, forgetting to take the White Ghost in his hand and use it as padding under his feet. He stared blankly at Jiang Xiao.

That was a gold-quality star technique, Mudflow Swamp!

Even if your strength is great and your star power is abundant, it's impossible to punch out a big pit!

Your fist can only sink into the swamp and be imprisoned.

So what could repel the mud could only be Cyan Glow.

But was that really the effect Cyan Glow should have?

Even if Jiang Xiao's Cyan Glow was silver quality, it shouldn't have such a powerful repelling effect.

At this moment, Hai Tianqing suddenly thought of an old friend.

Looking at Jiang Xiao's incredibly powerful Cyan Glow, the beautiful figure in Hai Tianqing's mind gradually overlapped with Jiang Xiao's figure...

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Jiang Xiao kept slamming downwards, the repelling effect of the gold-quality Cyan Glow was unparalleled!

Just like that,

Using the basic divine skill that had grown up with generations of Beijiang people,

He forcibly opened up a path to survival.
