Chapter 1010 (Additional Update for the rexxxx Alliance Leader)

The two girls were shocked and subconsciously looked back, retreating to the side.

In the instant they separated, a wisp of a spirit shot through the space between them and dissipated in the air before traveling five meters.

As it vanished, it emitted a sharp, ghostly scream.

Silver-quality Star Technique: Corpse Spirit!

This meant there was a savage shaman!

Jiang Xiao didn't have any offensive abilities, so when he saw the spirit, he subconsciously cast a Blessing on it, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

Jiang Xiao didn't think the spirit's disappearance was because of his Blessing.

Now that he thought about it, the spirit was truly terrifying, sending shivers down his spine.

The spirit wasn't humanoid, but more like a pale ghost face, without a body or limbs. Behind the ghost face trailed long, white lines, like the lingering trails of will-o'-the-wisps.

The ghost face was twisted and ferocious, pale white, with eyes cracked open in fury.

Especially the sharp scream as the ghost face dissipated, it was truly piercing and soul-stirring.

Did this Star Technique have a soul-shaking effect?

"2-2!" Han Jiangxue said quickly.

The four of them split into two groups, back to back, constantly moving closer to their partners.

"Did you find them?" Li Weiyi, no longer concerned with being a confidant, asked loudly.

"Shut up, I'm looking," Xia Yan said, annoyed, not because of Li Weiyi's prompting, but because she had almost been ambushed successfully, which enraged her.

"Don't panic, five seconds have passed, and it's still calm, which at least means they don't have a female archer," Jiang Xiao suddenly said, startling the other three.

What he said,

seemed to make sense?

The four of them continued to close ranks, Jiang Xiao cautiously surveying his surroundings. In this dense forest, there was lush vegetation everywhere. Who knew where this group of experienced hunters was hiding?

Jiang Xiao couldn't even see a blade of grass stirring.

This was very uncomfortable.

*Peng!*

Just as the four were gathering, a corpse suddenly exploded.

Yes, as Xia Yan stepped backward, her foot landed on the hand of a female archer's corpse, and that already disfigured and gruesome body instantly exploded!

A gust of bloody wind and rain...

Literal meaning.

Bits of mangled flesh and blood splattered everywhere, raining down on the two girls.

But the real damage came from the explosive force.

The two girls were blasted forward, dizzy and disoriented. Xia Yan's boots and the lower part of her pants were even shattered, revealing patches of bloody flesh.

Whether Xia Yan had lost her ability to move or not, at least her injured ankle and lower leg hindered her movements.

Jiang Xiao was startled and turned back sharply. In the path he and Li Weiyi were retreating along, there was also a corpse!

Jiang Xiao quickly grabbed Li Weiyi, raising one hand high, a white, healing glow appearing in his palm. A leaping wave of medical light shot out, quickly flying towards the two girls.

Xia Yan was still dizzy from the blast when she fell to the ground and felt the pain in her lower leg.

Han Jiangxue, too, had been hit hard, her clothes slightly torn in the back. She shook her head, trying to clear her mind, and saw the female archer's corpse a few meters away.

Han Jiangxue's eyes narrowed, and she quickly stretched out a hand, a desolate wind sweeping out, blowing the female archer's corpse away.

Han Jiangxue heard Xia Yan's voice beside her, a groan of pain held back, but she couldn't worry about her teammate. She knew what the most important task was now.

The female archers' corpses were blown away one after another.

"Ugh~" Xia Yan made a sound that was part pain, part relief. The Blessing had landed on her after all.

Bathing in the warm water of a hot spring, her skin enveloped in the soothing flow, she was lost in the enjoyment, her mind dizzy. She seemed to hear the faint sound of bells from the horizon.

As Xia Yan's hazy eyes slowly cleared, the exposed skin where her boots and pants had been blasted away was completely healed, new flesh growing, restoring its original rosy white color.

Did it hurt?

Not yet.

First, let me make you feel comfortable, body and mind.

As you soak in the wonderful hot spring, your injuries are completely healed by the clear sound of the bells.

This was simply a one-stop service.

Where else in the world could you find such a good healer?

This was why medical-type awakeners were so precious.

In battle, when Star Power was depleted, it could be quickly replenished by absorbing Star Beads.

We can think of Star Beads as "magic potions," but this world had no "life potions," so medical-type awakeners were so important.

Xia Yan moved her ankle, as if she had never been injured.

Finally, the enemy couldn't wait any longer. There were no more bloody explosions, but from among the corpses of the female archers that had been blown away, several gloomy ghost faces suddenly darted out!

They roared and screamed, their faces twisted like fierce ghosts, charging towards the two girls.

The two girls nimbly dodged left and right, constantly retreating.

Suddenly, Han Jiangxue's body froze in place.

Finally, a ferocious ghost face charged into her body, shooting out from her back, emitting a sharp, ear-piercing scream as it dissipated in mid-air.

"Xue Xue." Xia Yan was anxious and grabbed Han Jiangxue's arm, pulling her back.

At this moment, Han Jiangxue felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head, her body and mind trembling, a feeling of panic rising from within.

Han Jiangxue tried her best to restrain the cowardly thoughts rising in her mind, her teeth chattering, and she couldn't help but close her eyes.

Han Jiangxue, you're not that weak, this isn't how you should feel.

No, this isn't how you should act.

What about your responsibility?

What about your sense of duty?

There's him behind you, you can't retreat...

But her body seemed to be out of her control. She found herself struggling, pushing Xia Yan away, even trying to blow Xia Yan away with Desolate Wind.

But Xia Yan desperately clung to Han Jiangxue, refusing to let go.

The two bodies drew a parabola in the air and finally crashed heavily to the ground, rolling and sliding forward for two or three meters before someone stepped on them?

Han Jiangxue still didn't give up struggling, acting like a madwoman, her body pressing on Xia Yan's as she rolled, her hands pushing wildly, trying to break free from Xia Yan's control.

But Xia Yan accurately grabbed Han Jiangxue's wrists. In terms of physical fitness alone, the warrior Xia Yan could completely suppress the mage Han Jiangxue.

Jiang Xiao stepped on Han Jiangxue's back, and Xia Yan, who was pinned beneath her, shouted, "She's gone crazy!"

"No, she's not crazy," Jiang Xiao said, and a Blessing descended from the sky, shining on Han Jiangxue.

Han Jiangxue, who had been struggling violently, suddenly stopped, her body softened, and she lay on Xia Yan, resting on her soft chest.

Xia Yan was slightly stunned, the Blessing affecting her as well, causing her to forget to enjoy this rare opportunity.

Faintly, she heard Jiang Xiao's rather serious voice, "Have you forgotten the knowledge in the books?"

"Don't disturb those whose minds are affected by the Corpse Spirit. Protect them for a few seconds, and they will automatically escape the negative emotions," Jiang Xiao said. "Pulling her will only make her body and mind more chaotic, adding fuel to the fire."

"Yes, you're right, Little Leather, my Little Leather..." Xia Yan mumbled softly, her eyes hazy.

Jiang Xiao bent down, scooped up the soft and docile Han Jiangxue, and kicked Xia Yan's leg, saying, "Get up, Dad is really breaking his heart for you two."

"Huh?" Han Jiangxue regained her clarity, struggling to stand up, her face like a peach blossom, as beautiful as a flower, her eyes looking at Jiang Xiao with a faint glow.

"Nanny, I mean Nanny," Jiang Xiao said awkwardly, quickly changing the subject, "One corpse can only summon one Corpse Spirit. Now that there are no more corpses, the situation has improved."

Xia Yan also recovered from the state of being affected by the Blessing, sat up, and pointed at Jiang Xiao, "I treat you like a younger brother, but you want to be my father?"

Can a nanny who doesn't want to be a father be a good nanny?

Uh,

Wait,

It's a bit messy, need to sort it out...

There will be two more updates tonight, at 17:00 and 20:00 respectively.
