Chapter 188 Holy Ruins

"Where are we going now? Are we going to rescue people everywhere?" Jiang Xiao shouted, unable to help it, the wind and snow were too heavy.

"Holy Ruins," Er Wei's answer was very concise.

Hearing a new term, Jiang Xiao hurriedly asked, "Holy Ruins? What's that?"

Er Wei pondered for a long while, seemingly considering whether or not to tell Jiang Xiao this information, and after a few seconds, responded, "How do you think the White Ghoul race maintains such a large population?"

"Reproduction, like mammals, through mating to propagate the species," Jiang Xiao replied.

Because Jiang Xiao had seen the Awakened who had stolen the White Ghoul Witch's cub, and also saw two furious White Ghoul Witches commanding their subordinates, frantically chasing after that Awakened.

"Yes, they do have this function, but in the Snowfield, have you ever personally witnessed them reproducing?" Er Wei walked forward against the wind and snow, seemingly with a clear destination.

"Uh..." Jiang Xiao followed behind Er Wei, walking the path she had trod, using her huge body to shield him from the wind and snow, it was simply wonderful, "I haven't seen it."

"They do have the ability to reproduce offspring through mating, but this method is not the mainstream method." Er Wei continued to teach Jiang Xiao, "The reason why the Snowfield has such abundant resources, with White Ghouls that can't be killed, is because of the existence of the 'Holy Ruins'."

"So the Holy Ruins is a breeding base?" Jiang Xiao was stunned.

Er Wei: "No, it's a passage connecting the Snowfield and the upper dimensions."

Er Wei continued, "The vast majority of White Ghouls here are not reproducing through mating, but are directly dropped here. That is to say, they don't need to experience a fragile childhood, but appear directly in the Snowfield in their adult state."

Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment. What did he just hear?

Dropped?

This group of White Ghouls entered here from another dimension through a space-time tunnel?

Er Wei: "Your high-quality Star Beads and Star Techniques may be produced in the Holy Ruins, or they may be produced in the upper dimensions behind the Holy Ruins."

Jiang Xiao: ???

What does she mean?

Is the upper dimension of the Snowfield also the Snowfield? And the creatures there are stronger? Producing higher quality Star Beads?

"The southeastern route is more dangerous and has abundant monster resources because it is closer to the Holy Ruins," Er Wei said. "While other routes and areas will also have White Ghouls and White Ghoul Witches dropped, but the frequency is relatively lower."

Jiang Xiao's mind was a little chaotic: "I haven't read much, don't lie to me. I've stayed here for more than ten days, but I haven't seen a White Ghoul suddenly falling from the sky."

Er Wei shook her head and said, "They won't descend in the places where you are training, but will be dropped in special areas. Those areas are guarded by Night Watchers, so you won't see them."

"You mean there are many Holy Ruins here? In the southeast, northwest, and all directions?" Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows.

"No, there is only one Holy Ruins. It is the main passage connecting the Snowfield and the upper dimensions. Other places are considered dimensional passages," Er Wei said, stating the key point. "Once the main passage is damaged, the remaining passages will not be able to maintain stability and will gradually lose their connection. This Snowfield will no longer produce any monster resources. As the last passage in the Snowfield closes, the Snowfield will completely disappear and no longer have any connection with Earth."

Full of useful information!

Highlight the key points!

Unfortunately, this kind of knowledge doesn't seem to be tested.

How should I put it, is it a secret for the upper class?

A secret that is openly known in the high-level circles, but is completely unknown to ordinary people like Jiang Xiao.

Even Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan are not clear about it.

Their parents are both from the Pioneer Legion, so they must know this information. Is it because the organization has discipline and doesn't allow it to be spread?

Jiang Xiao finally understood why some other dimensions quickly closed, while some other dimensions could last for a long time, and were even developed by the official as resource points.

Wait, that's the duty of the Night Watch Legion.

Then the duty of the Pioneer Legion should be to assess the other dimension. If it has value, then it will be left. If it is too dangerous and may pose a threat to China, then the "Holy Ruins" will be immediately destroyed and the other dimension will be closed?

Goodness, that's amazing.

No wonder the Pioneer Legion enjoys such a high reputation in China. In places that people don't know, they bear the survival and safety of the entire country, and the safety of every ordinary civilian.

Jiang Xiao, who was constantly reasoning and analyzing, learned about the duties of the Night Watch Legion from Er Wei's words, and also deduced the hidden duties of the Pioneer Legion.

At this moment, Jiang Xiao was truly becoming more and more in awe of his never-before-seen parents.

"The Holy Ruins... what does it actually look like?" Jiang Xiao's desire for knowledge was acting up.

"It's just a special name, you'll see it with your own eyes."

"Okay." Jiang Xiao digested the knowledge points given by Er Wei, still feeling incredible. He asked, "Since it's a kind of passage, if they can come over, can we go over there?"

Er Wei nodded slightly, seemingly very satisfied with the question raised by Jiang Xiao: "For the vast majority of people, that door is one-way. Because you wouldn't want to get lost in another dimension."

Jiang Xiao's heart skipped a beat. The official news was that his parents were missing!

Not that they were dead!

Is there still a possibility that his never-before-seen parents are still alive!?

Jiang Xiao digested this information, not sure if he should tell Han Jiangxue.

Er Wei continued, "That's why the offspring of other-dimensional creatures are so precious. You have very few Star Slots. Have you thought about taming any Star Pets?"

Since Er Wei changed her position, she has been particularly concerned about Jiang Xiao's future.

Jiang Xiao came back to his senses, thought for a while, and said, "You mean, people with more Star Slots can have more rights to choose Star Pets?"

"You'll see that in this world, there is a special direction for Awakened people to grow, Star Pet Masters. They are as precious as you, a healing-type Awakened," Er Wei replied, "I've fought with such a guy before. His combat power was mediocre, he had extremely practical defensive Star Techniques, but there were 11 Star Slots in his Star Chart inlaid with Star Pets."

Star Pet Master?

This profession is a bit interesting?

Relying entirely on your pets to fight?

According to the market price of other-dimensional cubs, and comparing the probability of absorbing Star Pets, Jiang Xiao secretly clicked his tongue. This profession is probably only affordable for real tycoons.

The key is that some problems cannot be solved with money.

These Star Pet Masters not only have to be rich, but also have a strong team to help.

"My Star Slots are indeed very few, let's see, which has a greater return, Star Techniques or Star Pets." Jiang Xiao shook his head and said, "I'm still a Star Dust stage newbie, Star Pets are relatively distant for me, I'll have to wait until the Star River stage to come into contact with them, I'll talk about it then."

Then, Jiang Xiao asked curiously, "What about you? Do you have any Star Pets?"

Er Wei: "No."

Jiang Xiao: "Why?"

Er Wei: "My Star Slots are already filled. To obtain a Star Pet, I can only wait for my Star Power to upgrade."

Jiang Xiao: "Don't敷衍me, you're at the Star River stage. I believe you've stayed at this stage long enough. In the 16 Star Slots that can be used, you can't even spare one?"

"Hmm?" Very rarely, there was a hint of tone in Er Wei's words. She turned her head and looked at Jiang Xiao with interest.

Jiang Xiao looked up at Er Wei, not knowing why this woman was suddenly interested.

Er Wei reached out and pressed her hand on Jiang Xiao's head: "Star Slots are like teams, the number of places is limited."

Jiang Xiao angrily slapped off the big hand on his head and took a step back: "So?"

Er Wei lowered her head, her narrow phoenix eyes quietly looking at Jiang Xiao: "I only want what's most suitable for me."

Jiang Xiao thought and thought, and muttered, "You must be 25 or 26 years old, right? You're almost a full cycle older than me, Auntie."

Er Wei's cold face hidden behind the mask gradually revealed a strange smile, seemingly finding it interesting that Jiang Xiao repeatedly used jokes to divert the topic and skirt the issue.

She liked the way Jiang Xiao handled problems, but she didn't like Jiang Xiao's repeated rejections.

Er Wei turned around and left: "I have my eye on a Star Pet. In nine months, you're coming with me."

Being behind is really a disadvantage. In the face of absolute strength, it is indeed difficult for Jiang Xiao, as the weaker party, to have self-assertion. Even if he has avoided the limelight again and again, what should come will always come.

Hearing Er Wei's words, Jiang Xiao was shocked: "Was your upgrade just now a breakthrough to the Star Sea stage? Can you control more Star Slots?"

Er Wei glanced at Jiang Xiao without answering.

Is she really at the Star Sea stage?

Jiang Xiao was secretly indignant, you woman!

Can't you give me an accurate answer? Would it kill you to say one more word?
