Ringing~

A beam of medical light streaked across the dim sky, dreamlike and illusory.

The pure white medical light danced constantly within the pit, connecting to the woman lying softly in the center and the young man attacking frantically on the left side.

A dagger flew up and down, glinting with a cold light.

Jiang Xiao held the dagger in a reverse grip, a dense cyan light emanating from his fist as he slammed a Bai Gui (White Ghoul) to its knees.

The Bai Gui's thick limbs supported it on the ground, but under the repelling effect of the cyan light, its limbs sank into the earth.

Jiang Xiao, possessing the hand-to-hand combat skills of a Silver-rank Star Warrior, instinctively raised his knee, striking the Bai Gui's head. Deliberately, the dagger in his hand stabbed directly at the Bai Gui's skull.

However, the Bai Gui was sent flying by the knee strike, and Jiang Xiao's dagger missed its mark.

Jiang Xiao secretly blamed himself, *This won't do. I must seize every opportunity to eliminate their numbers, not just repel them.*

The Bai Gui, with its thick skin and flesh, could not be defeated by this one knee strike.

Faced with the ferocious pounce and gaping maw of the Bai Gui, Jiang Xiao thrust out his left arm directly.

*Crack!*

The Bai Gui opened its sharp fangs and bit directly onto Jiang Xiao's left arm, while Jiang Xiao swung his right arm, the sharp dagger piercing into the Bai Gui's temple.

Trading life for life seemed to be the best approach.

At this moment, Jiang Xiao no longer sought to avoid injury, but to kill the enemy.

Jiang Xiao retreated step by step, his left arm dragging the Bai Gui's huge body, leaving deep marks in the ground.

The fangs were too sharp, and the Bai Gui's bite force was too strong, almost shattering Jiang Xiao's arm.

Jiang Xiao's ferocity also rose. He violently pried open the Bai Gui's skull, blood and flesh mingled together, and blood gurgled from his arm, a gruesome sight.

Seeing the Bai Gui he had stabbed in the temple with his dagger, Jiang Xiao kicked its corpse next to the other two Bai Gui.

The Bai Gui's prey, under normal circumstances, was its own kind!

The hungry Bai Gui did not hesitate and immediately began to tear at the corpse of its companion.

And Jiang Xiao once again flung out a beam of medical light, the melodious chime of the bell ringing again, shuttling between Jiang Xiao's body and Er Wei's (Two-Tails), who had left her mark.

Thankfully, there was still a companion present.

Otherwise, if Jiang Xiao were alone, his medical light would not be able to jump back and forth. Each release of "Zhong Ling" (Bell) would be a one-time application on himself, no longer jumping, and he would receive far fewer treatments.

And in Jiang Xiao's desperate struggle, he did not notice that the woman lying in the pit, her right finger seemed to move slightly.

Taking advantage of the two Bai Gui dismembering the corpse, Jiang Xiao hurriedly turned around and kicked away a Bai Gui that was pouncing on Er Wei. His unhealed left hand went out again, as if offering itself to the Bai Gui's mouth.

The blood-soaked arm held endless temptation for the Bai Gui. It abandoned tearing at Jiang Xiao's body, abandoned crushing Jiang Xiao's head, and instead plunged a claw deep into Jiang Xiao's shoulder, grabbing Jiang Xiao's body and biting down.

*Tear!*

A suicidal attack!

Jiang Xiao had never realized he possessed such bloodthirst!

The truth proves that when a person is driven to the brink,

They either have a mental breakdown and await death.

Or they become like madmen, wild as rabid dogs.

Jiang Xiao did not know how Guan Yu could calmly play chess while scraping poison from the bone during surgery in the old stories.

He only felt a pain that was almost beyond his tolerance. The Bai Gui's gaping maw bit Jiang Xiao's arm, tearing it open horizontally. Delicious blood and tender flesh were directly torn off, revealing even the white bone where the Bai Gui had bitten.

Jiang Xiao's feet buckled, and the dagger in his right hand stabbed directly towards the opponent's heart.

Because of the tremendous tearing force, the Bai Gui, taking a step back, also reacted quickly, not retreating but advancing, a pair of sharp claws striking towards Jiang Xiao's head, and its gaping maw aimed at Jiang Xiao's neck.

Jiang Xiao's body twisted violently.

*Tear!*

Even with its heart pierced, the fangs still bit into Jiang Xiao's shoulder. With a desperate tear, blood and flesh came off together, and the Bai Gui staggered backward.

Jiang Xiao, hanging by his shoulder, his left hand exposing bare white bone, covered his right shoulder, which was gushing blood, with one hand. Numb to the cold sensation, Jiang Xiao cast Zhong Ling (Bell), covering his shoulder and leaping towards Er Wei behind him.

His Star Power was exhausted again.

Skill points were added again.

"Star Power upgraded! Star Dust Stage Lv.8!"

"Skill Points: 3."

Jiang Xiao's body retreated slowly. In the pit, there was a Bai Gui in front of him, and two on each of his left and right sides.

And the two Bai Gui that were dismembering their companion's corpse, under the Bai Gui Witch's roar, also abandoned the delicious food in their hands and slowly surrounded him.

Most terrifying of all, on the edge of the pit above, there were also pairs of scarlet eyes, radiating a bloodthirsty aura, watching the battlefield below.

They moved their bodies back and forth, seemingly unable to suppress their restless mood, but under the Bai Gui Witch's command, they could only watch from above.

The Bai Gui Witch seemed to be enjoying the sight of this cornered beast fighting, enjoying this bloody feast, watching the cruel torment with pleasure, and savoring the joy of each new wound added to Jiang Xiao's body.

Ringing~

The bell rang again, rapidly shuttling between Jiang Xiao and Er Wei.

Retreating slowly, Jiang Xiao's legs suddenly tensed, and he darted forward. Although the wounds on his left arm and right shoulder were slowly healing, they still scattered large patches of blood.

The Bai Gui in front of him howled and rushed up, but the figure rushing forward shattered at the touch, the Bai Gui pouncing on an empty phantom.

Silver-Quality Star Technique *Lure*.

Just as the Bai Gui landed from its missed pounce, a descending leg suddenly appeared before its eyes.

The moment Jiang Xiao rushed forward, another Jiang Xiao rushed out from behind him, rushing quickly towards the weakest part of the encirclement.

Northwest direction!

The Bai Gui from the west and north quickly rushed over, attempting to capture Jiang Xiao, who was climbing out of the pit, trying to escape.

When a Bai Gui grabbed Jiang Xiao's ankle as he ran up the pit, that phantom shattered again.

In the center of the pit, a descending leg accurately struck the head of the Bai Gui that had fallen to the ground. Jiang Xiao's right foot, emitting cyan light, directly smashed the Bai Gui into the ground. Jiang Xiao resisted the urge to stomp on it, and his right shoulder, where fresh flesh was slowly growing, was able to move again. His right hand, holding the dagger, stabbed directly down.

At the same time, another phantom rushed out from Jiang Xiao's crouching body, drawing away the Bai Gui that was attacking from the east.

Ringing~

The melodious chime of the bell rang again.

However, accompanying this chime was an angry roar.

Even with a Bai Gui being drawn away, another Bai Gui chasing from behind still knocked Jiang Xiao to the ground.

Sharp claws tore at Jiang Xiao's shoulders on both sides, knocking the crouching Jiang Xiao to the ground. Without a doubt, the gaping maw would attack in the next moment.

Attacked from behind, what to do?

Was he going to die here?

*Whoosh!*

A beam of light descended rapidly, and the Bai Gui, tearing at Jiang Xiao's shoulders and trying to bite down, suddenly froze.

Jiang Xiao flipped over violently, lying on his back, and stabbed the dagger directly into the Bai Gui's neck, letting out an astonishing roar: "Aaaaaah!"

The dagger, stabbed into the Bai Gui's neck, slashed forcefully. Profuse blood splattered on Jiang Xiao's face, and the scalding blood seemed to ignite Jiang Xiao's bestiality. He swallowed the gurgling blood in large gulps, moistening his parched tongue.

*Thump!*

Jiang Xiao flipped the Bai Gui on his body to the side. The corpse of the Bai Gui, which was blocking his vision, had just been moved away, and in the sky in front of him was a pouncing ghoul, vast and all-encompassing.

Jiang Xiao held the dagger in a reverse grip, held it in front of his eyes. At this moment, the whole world seemed to freeze.

The arm that Jiang Xiao held in front of him emitted wisps of cyan light. Even with a little force, the Bai Gui would definitely be blasted away.

But the Bai Gui pounced down from the air, its exposed claws extremely sharp, reaching out its arms. Before it touched Jiang Xiao's arm, before it was blocked, the stiff claws of the Bai Gui had already shallowly sunk into Jiang Xiao's chest!

In that instant, the Bai Gui's body twisted violently, and was thrown directly onto the ground beside Jiang Xiao.

The next moment, a woman grabbed the Bai Gui's ankle, and swung the one-meter-eight tall Bai Gui, throwing it out of the pit.

The surrounding group of Bai Gui seemed to be deterred, their footsteps hesitating slightly.

She lowered her head and saw the Jiang Xiao who was still terrified.

She slowly bent down, her huge figure blocking the brilliant starry sky before Jiang Xiao's eyes, and slowly stretched out a palm.

Following, was the woman's hoarse voice: "Luan Hongying."

Jiang Xiao laboriously raised his right hand and grasped it tightly: "Jiang Xiao."
