“My heavens, give me a break...” Jiang Xiao grabbed the hand on his head with both of his. Don't be fooled by how easily the owner of this hand moved across the snow; to maintain balance, the hand's movements were erratic.

Jiang Xiao’s head was suffering. He felt like throwing up from the “turbulent airflow.”

His heart was suffering even more. If you're going to save someone, do it right.

Little boss, thank you for giving me a hand, but could you carry me while you run? Even just holding me under your arm would be fine.

You're walking.

You've taken so many steps with the ball already.

Why can't you run like Naruto? Arms straight, straight! Stop flailing!

Suddenly, Jiang Xiao felt a noticeable deceleration. He grabbed the cold hand on his head with both hands, gripping it tightly, afraid of being snapped off due to inertia.

Thankfully, this person seemed reliable after all, slowing down before throwing Jiang Xiao into the snow.

Jiang Xiao landed unsteadily, dizzy, and immediately fell to the ground, taking a mouthful of snow.

Unfortunately, the snow was too cold.

Fortunately, it was refreshing.

Mmm...

In a daze, Jiang Xiao cast a Blessing on himself.

"Ah~" This soft moan might be embarrassing, but it was a cure-all.

"*ap;%￥#@." A woman's voice came from his ear. The voice wasn't soft and beautiful, but rather hoarse. Within this unique tone, Jiang Xiao heard a heavy killing intent.

Under the divine skill Blessing, Jiang Xiao's condition steadily recovered. The dizziness and nausea lessened. He quickly crawled aside, hiding behind a tree, and quietly observed the situation.

He immediately saw the imposing pursuer.

He estimated the man to be about 1.9 meters tall, exceptionally burly, wearing mercenary gear, and a mask. He was as tall and strong as a brown bear.

This was simply a ferocious beast, his eyes glowing with a faint, cold light, especially noticeable in the dim light.

Jiang Xiao cautiously clung to the tree trunk, looking towards the opposite side of the beast, and instantly, he felt awful.

The person who saved him was actually Er Wei (Two-Tails)?

The first time they met in the prison, this huge Er Wei had set her sights on Jiang Xiao. Among the group of four, she seemed to suspect Jiang Xiao the most, harboring the most hostility.

Unexpectedly, she was the one who saved him?

Looking at her, Jiang Xiao felt like he was seeing an even bigger ferocious beast.

She was a head taller than the beast on the opposite side. Although her body seemed slender in comparison, that was only in comparison. Her large frame was there, and the words "slim" and "small" didn't apply to her at all.

Her face was resolute and cold, her danfeng eyes (single-lidded eyes) were dark and deep, her killing intent was astonishing. Although her appearance was ordinary, her temperament was absolutely first-class. Coupled with her tall, fit body, she appeared awe-inspiring and heroic.

Compared to her, Xia Yan was indeed still a naive little girl who needed more training.

However, Jiang Xiao believed that if Xia Yan wasn't struggling on the edge of life and death every day and night, she probably wouldn't be able to develop Er Wei's murderous aura.

While he was thinking, the brown bear and the female leopard in the distance started talking again.

"*ap;%￥#......"

Jiang Xiao heard the strange language again. He didn't understand it, but living in Bei Jiang, he knew what kind of language it was from hearing it so often – Russian.

She's speaking Russian?

The brown bear finally spoke, "*ap;%￥#."

Jiang Xiao frowned. Were Russians attacking the Snowfield Night Watch?

Or was it some mercenary group?

Jiang Xiao thought and thought, and taking advantage of the fact that both sides were far apart and still exchanging words, he directly cast a Blessing on Er Wei.

"Mmm... er..." The woman's body stiffened slightly, her facial expression was a bit strange. Under her unique hoarse voice, she made an extremely seductive sound from her throat.

The mercenary instantly exploded, perfectly coordinating with Jiang Xiao.

The mercenary waved his hand, and the snow beneath the woman's feet immediately churned. The mud hidden beneath the snow instantly covered the woman's ankles, quickly solidifying.

At the same time, the mercenary charged forward, violently slamming into Er Wei.

Under the icy sky and snowy ground, the woman's chest heaved slightly, her face was flushed, her face was like a peach blossom, and the bloodthirsty killing intent in her eyes was reduced a lot.

Looking at the barbaric mercenary charging towards her, she seemed to be in a daze, still indulging in a beautiful dream.

Jiang Xiao was shocked. He messed up!?

This buff...

Is poisonous!

Believe me, my intentions were good.

I wanted to buff you, not poison you...

Jiang Xiao's mind raced, and he hurriedly waved his hand, directly buffing the mercenary.

The mercenary's quick and heavy footsteps suddenly faltered, his entire body seemed to be out of control, his steps were unsteady.

The inertia carried by the huge momentum was not so easy to get rid of. At the same time, the woman's expression turned solemn. The brief side effect was over, and before her was a piece of clumsy, staggering prey.

Er Wei's cold eyes gleamed slightly, a cold mist was exhaled from her mouth, and a beautiful starmap silently bloomed on her tall body.

Jiang Xiao only felt a dazzling light, blinded by the bronze, silver, and golden colors.

What kind of starmap was this?

Under the rendering of star power, did it represent some kind of animal?

Cat?

Leopard?

Tiger?

Or... Honey Badger?

The pattern of this beast was indeed a bit blurred. In short, it was an animal that moved on all fours.

If you had to imagine it, you could say it was a rabbit without ears.

Jiang Xiao couldn't be sure what kind of animal it was, but he could be sure that...

This woman had a full 28 star slots!

28!

A genius!

She had 16 star slots lit up, which meant she had a full 16 star skills!

3 Bronze, 9 Silver, 4 Gold.

As everyone knows, Awakened need to follow the star power level requirements to light up star slots.

Star Gathering stage can only light up 4 star slots.

Star Cloud stage can add another 4 star slots.

After the Star River stage, Awakened are considered to have truly entered the hall, and their entire being will undergo a qualitative change, and they can add another 8 star slots.

In other words, this "Er Wei" was at least a Star River stage Awakened!

What was the concept of the Star River stage?

If Jiang Xiao hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have known that Star River stage Awakened were so terrifying!

Looking at the star power rendered on that starmap, it was like rivers, abundant and rich.

Thinking about his own pitiful Star Gathering stage star power, in comparison, Star Dust was indeed called Star Dust, and it was really being compared to "dust."

How it looked was secondary, the most shocking thing was the majestic star power, which even Jiang Xiao, who was far outside the battlefield, felt the rippling energy, it was simply terrifyingly strong.

In Jiang Xiao's vision, the 8th star slot in the starmap that slowly bloomed on the woman's body suddenly lit up, and silver light illuminated the snowy night.

The eerie ghost suddenly became so radiant, seemingly out of sync with her dark phantom.

Jiang Xiao didn't even see what her specific attack method was, he only saw the phantom flash rapidly, directly passing through the mercenary's body!

Tss...

A grating sound of cutting metal that made one's teeth ache came out, sparks flew, as if someone was really cutting steel.

Passed through!?

She actually passed through!?

Was there a problem with my viewing angle?

While Jiang Xiao was stunned, he only saw the mercenary grab his neck with one hand, his strong body collapsed to the ground like a toppling mountain of gold.

Er Wei squatted, leaning forward, her body constantly sliding backwards, her black ponytail flying forward, her feet leaving two deep marks in the snow.

It's over?

A one-hit kill?

This big cat is a bit powerful, maybe I should...

Bang!

The mercenary who had fallen to the ground suddenly grabbed the ground with one hand and slowly got up.

Er Wei's sliding body came to an abrupt stop, seemingly anticipating this situation. Her agile body rushed forward again, raising her hands in a claw shape, and fiercely tearing at the back of the mercenary's head.

Also at this moment, a starmap appeared on the mercenary's body, the golden star skill was extremely dazzling, and around his body, the snow churned again.

The white snow became a beautiful disguise, and after being overturned, the frozen earth below surged out like a river, directly wrapping himself and the attacking woman inside.

Jiang Xiao watched the gods fight, and couldn't even find the right time to shout "6".

What did I do wrong to make me watch this?

I'm just a kid...

Should I go back and play with Gao Junwei and Gao Junchen?
