Chapter 212 The Combination

The next morning, Jiang Xiao took the bait from the World of Inner Sight and boarded a plane back to Bei Jiang Province.

This time, both a demon and an angel descended, each grabbing one of Jiang Xiao's hands.

It was said that the demon grabbed the hand of the bait Jiang Xiao because when absorbing the Shadow Crow Star Bead this time, he absorbed the Star Techniques of Illusionary Crow (summoning crows) and Chaotic Crow (extending the duration of Illusionary Crow, causing Illusionary Crow to explode) before absorbing the Shadow Crow Star Technique.

This was obviously a waste of two star slots.

If possible, the bait Jiang Xiao only needed the Shadow Crow Star Technique.

However, every combination has its own way of playing. There are very few garbage Star Techniques in this world, only useless Star Warriors.

Unfortunately, the Star Techniques of the Ghost Tiger Star Bead also occupied three of his star slots.

When the Ghost Tiger Star Bead was completely exhausted, Jiang Xiao first absorbed the Star Techniques of Sharp (making the hands and feet as hard as steel) and Swift (faster movements and reactions) before absorbing the Star Technique of Perception.

But honestly, Swift was also pretty good. The only thing Jiang Xiao didn't really need was the "Sharp" Star Technique. After all, cold weapons were Jiang Xiao's priority over fists and feet.

It was said that the angel also grabbed one of Jiang Xiao's hands because Jiang Xiao's Star Chart was truly very, very compatible with the Desperate series of Star Techniques!

Like Xia Yan, Jiang Xiao finally felt the so-called "transparency" that she described.

Back then, when Han Jiangxue was absorbing the Firework Master Puppet, she said that she felt a sense of "transparency". That time, Han Jiangxue absorbed one star with two techniques.

And when Xia Yan was absorbing the Desperate series of Star Techniques, she also said that she had a feeling of transparency. Although she didn't absorb one star with two techniques due to various reasons, she spent very few Star Bead resources to absorb the "Desperate Blade" Star Technique.

And Jiang Xiao...

With his aptitude of nine star slots, he actually absorbed the core Star Technique of the Desperate series: Desperate Blade, on the ninth Desperate Ghost Star Bead!

This was a platinum-quality Star Technique!

The extremely compatible Star Chart and Jiang Xiao's understanding of the Flower Blade Star Chart allowed him to experience the feeling of transparency when absorbing Star Beads. The compatible Star Chart even seemed to break through the limitations of aptitude.

Jiang Xiao thought that he would have to give up either Azure Glow or Endurance. He never expected that the angel's hand was still very soft and tender, at least much more comfortable to touch than the demon's hand.

From then on, the agile combat - Battle Jiang Xiao was completely formed.

The Shadow Crow series, the Ghost Beast series, the Desperate series, and the White Ghost's twin divine skills created an agile combatant who could transform, fly, and move at extreme speed.

Overall, Jiang Xiao was satisfied with his Star Technique combination.

Whether it was a mule or a horse, you'd know once you took it out for a spin.

After sending the bait into the World of Inner Sight, Jiang Xiao played with the White Ghosts there for a few days before setting off to return home to Jiangbin City and calling Er Wei.

Unfortunately, Er Wei didn't answer.

Jiang Xiao received a call back from Er Wei while waiting at the airport.

Hearing Er Wei's voice again, Jiang Xiao felt a lot of emotions. She didn't go home this Chinese New Year, and Jiang Xiao felt like he hadn't seen her in years.

Listening to Er Wei's tired voice, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but say, "Tell me anytime if you need me."

A muffled voice came from behind the mask, but it was met with Er Wei's straightforward question: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Xiao got up and walked out of the waiting area to a corner and said, "There's something wrong with my Black and White Candle Fire and Bamboo Bear. These two guys seem to have merged."

Er Wei: "Hmm?"

Although Er Wei wasn't standing in front of Jiang Xiao, from that surprised interjection, Jiang Xiao had already imagined her surprised look in his mind.

Jiang Xiao confirmed: "Yes, I've always let the two guys play in my World of Inner Sight, and I always have to go in to feed them. I discovered their merged state. The Bamboo Bear has something like a hat on its head, with the Black and White Candle Fire worn on its head."

Er Wei was silent for a moment and said, "The body of the Black and White Candle Fire is very soft and can easily change shape. Are you sure it's a combination of two Star Beasts, and not just simple playing?"

Jiang Xiao said, "I'm not very sure, after all, the two Star Beasts can also be separated at will. But when the Bamboo Bear used the Round Bamboo Star Technique, it added the Ice Flame (Ice Candle Flame) effect of the Black and White Candle Fire."

"Hmm..." Er Wei pondered for a moment and said, "What are you thinking?"

Jiang Xiao said with a smile: "I want to protect my Star Pets. I said they merged, on the one hand, because of this special additional effect, and on the other hand, I found that I can put both Star Pets into my star slot, and in the same star slot."

After a long while, Er Wei said in a hoarse voice, "If you want to protect your Star Pets, then we have to report to the higher-ups in a timely manner."

Jiang Xiao nodded repeatedly, just about to say something, but was interrupted by a female voice: "Passengers traveling to the Imperial Capital, please note that your flight CA1448 is now boarding. Please take your personal belongings and show your boarding pass..."

Listening to the background noise, Er Wei said, "You're not in the Imperial Capital."

Jiang Xiao: "Ah, I went to Jinmen to perform a mission. The bait died, so I went home and sent the bait into the Snow Plains again."

Er Wei: "Reschedule, come to Jincheng City, Longgan Province. I'll take you to report to the higher-ups in person. That's better. This kind of thing is also qualified to be reported upwards."

In fact, Er Wei had never been very enthusiastic about Jiang Xiao's decision to stay at the school, and regardless of whether he was still in the middle of the semester, she directly issued a summons to him.

Having a request of someone, Jiang Xiao naturally accepted her summons.

What Jiang Xiao didn't expect was that the excuse he made up a few days ago had now come true.

Jiang Xiao said curiously, "You're not outside?"

Er Wei: "Hmm, I'm back to report the situation too. You're back, so I can take you out for a walk."

Jiang Xiao: ???

What do you mean by taking me out for a walk?

Do you really think I'm a bird?

I can be a bird, can you transform into a slipper grandpa?

Jiang Xiao immediately rescheduled his ticket. There was a flight to Jincheng in two hours, which was a coincidence.

Unfortunately, the plane was delayed for more than four hours...

Whether it was a coincidence or not, it was just so-so.

Arriving in Jincheng, the capital of Longgan Province, again, it was already past 7:00 p.m. Poor Jiang Xiao was all alone, and no one picked him up this time.

Jiang Xiao took a taxi and went straight to the half-military, half-civilian town. Jiang Xiao had been here before, and it was where he was awarded the Crescent Medal, so he was quite familiar with it.

The taxi stopped on the side of the street, and Jiang Xiao got out. What he saw could be described as "distinctly separate."

The south side of this street was full of the atmosphere of citizen life. The entire southern urban area south of the street was like this.

And the north side of this street was the military compound, extremely quiet and solemn. You could still see soldiers standing guard at the entrance.

Jiang Xiao was wearing a gaudy hoodie and jeans, with a baseball cap and mask, looking through his bag for his documents while walking towards the soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the compound. He looked very much like a lost tourist...

"Hey! Kid!" On the street, an old man playing chess in front of a restaurant, with a cigarette in his mouth, shouted loudly at Jiang Xiao and kept waving at Jiang Xiao, "Come back, come back."

"Uh..." Jiang Xiao turned his head and nodded slightly to the enthusiastic old man, handing his documents to the soldier on duty.

After a while, a soldier came out of the sentry box and led the gaudily dressed Jiang Xiao inside.

Across the street, the old man's cigarette fell from his mouth, with a dumbfounded look: "He just went in?"

The old man playing chess across from him said jokingly: "Whose young master is that? A military kid."

Strictly speaking, this sentence was correct.

But Jiang Xiao was a pioneer military kid, entering the gate of the Night Watch army camp...

Under the leadership of the soldier, Jiang Xiao walked into a building. Just after going up a flight of stairs, when turning to go up the second flight of stairs, Jiang Xiao felt a burst of panic in his heart.

Following the dangerous aura, Jiang Xiao raised his head and saw a huge figure standing on the landing, with her arms crossed in front of her, looking down at Jiang Xiao.

"That's enough." Er Wei nodded slightly, obviously speaking to the soldier, but her long and narrow eyes were locked on Jiang Xiao.

After a long time,

Jiang Xiao had the feeling of being stared at by an other-dimensional fierce beast again.

Under his clothes, the hairs on his skin stood up.

It proved a truth: you have to pet the cat often, otherwise it will be very unfamiliar.

Maybe this was her characteristic, whether it was an opponent or a teammate, she would never restrain her sharpness and would not let anyone have a good time.

The soldier turned and left. Er Wei looked down at Jiang Xiao from a high position, nodded her chin at him and said, "You gave me more choices."

Jiang Xiao: "What do you mean?"

Er Wei's eyes were bright. In the dimly lit area of ​​the landing, her eyes were like ferocious beasts in the dark.

She said in a hoarse voice: "I was thinking about how to play the cards in my hand, a pair of 10s, a pair of Jacks, a pair of Queens. Or look for foreign aid. Now, it can be a King and a 2."

Jiang Xiao weakly said: "Were you stifled too much in Kang Ke Jin De? How did you learn to play poker? Do you play Dou Dizhu with Shadow Crows and Sky Dogs every day?"

Er Wei: "..."

Seeing Er Wei choked, Jiang Xiao finally found a familiar feeling.

Jiang Xiao asked, "Who is the 2?"

Er Wei: "Sky Dog, Shadow Crow, or Great Sage."

Jiang Xiao nodded heavily: "Well said! I choose Hou Mingming!"

Jiang Xiao regained the familiar feeling, and Er Wei also followed Jiang Xiao's rhythm, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and said hoarsely, "Okay, then Fu Hei it is."

Jiang Xiao: "..."

Er Wei turned and walked up the stairs.

Jiang Xiao followed her up, asking: "What's the mission?"

Er Wei said: "There are forces assassinating the leadership of the Kingdom of Kang Ke Jin De."

Jiang Xiao said in surprise: "Ah? Are they remnants of the Dark Temple?"

Er Wei whispered: "Maybe, maybe not, we don't know yet, but what we do know is that they have succeeded three times."

Jiang Xiao opened his mouth wide: "So...so strong? What is their purpose? Isn't Kang Ke Jin De chaotic enough? This kind of place will almost be destroyed without our help?

Even with our help, they won't be able to recover in a few decades, right? Kang Ke Jin De is a place with scarce resources and nothing to gain..."

Er Wei whispered: "Maybe some people don't want to see us helping Kang Ke Jin De, or helping the surrounding countries. Maybe those people want to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, so that these countries can see the cost of asking us for help."

Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment, thought about it again and again, and said: "Are you serious?"

Er Wei spit out two words: "Guessing."

Jiang Xiao scratched his head and said, "What do you want me to do? Help you investigate people? I'm not good at that. You tell me where the enemy is, I'll go fight them, I'm good at that."

Er Wei gave Jiang Xiao a cold glance: "There are many people who are good at that, it's not your turn."

Jiang Xiao pouted aggrievedly: "Oh."

Er Wei stopped in front of a dormitory door, tilted her head slightly towards the inside and said: "I need a world-class medical Star Warrior, a loyal soldier with excellent qualities. I only have Fu Hei under my command, but his style makes me worried. I came back here, on the one hand, to report the situation, and on the other hand, to ask for someone. I didn't expect you to offer yourself up."

Jiang Xiao grinned, what a sugar-coated bullet.

But honestly, Er Wei was not a hypocritical person. What she said was also true, at least she thought so in her heart. Jiang Xiao was also very satisfied to be recognized by her.

Jiang Xiao peeled off the sugar coating, ate it full, and said comfortably: "What exactly do you want me to do?"

Er Wei: "Bodyguard."

Jiang Xiao: ???

What kind of task is this? The time for the guarding task can be long or short. Who can bear it if it lasts for three years?

I still have to attend the wedding. As a result, when I finish the mission, the children of Hai Tianqing and Fang Xingyun will be born. Isn't this a joke?

Jiang Xiao weakly said: "I'm not world-class, I just won a world championship by luck, and those contestants are all Star River stage rookies, which doesn't count at all. I'm still a student, I'm still a child, those contestants... are... are letting me win..."
