Chapter 408 Four Thousand Word Chapter, Seeking Monthly Ticket Support~

September 11, 2017.

One week after the opening of the Capital Star Warrior University, Qin Wangchuan and Instructor Jiang Hong led the group to Mingzhu City, Zhongyuan Province.

Uh, not Xiangjiang City, which is known as the "Pearl of the Orient," but "Mingzhu City" located in Yanzhao Province.

The origin of the name Mingzhu City is quite interesting; its full name is: the Pearl on the Dijin Corridor.

The city's name is enough to show the important position of this city.

Although this team is considered to have left the province and entered Mingzhu City, most of the people here speak Mandarin, and a considerable number even have a Beijing accent that is more standard than the people of the capital…

In the eastern district of Mingzhu City, there is a Death Den (wang ming ku) Other Dimension Space that has bloomed within!

It is true that Yanzhao has produced many heroes since ancient times!

It is such an extremely dangerous Other Dimension Space, nurturing platinum-level creatures, that opened in the eastern district of Mingzhu City in the late 1980s! The people of Yanzhao did not destroy it, but forcibly controlled this area!

What kind of creatures are Desperadoes (wang ming gui)? Can ordinary people stop them? With a Desperado's Blade (wang ming zhi ren) in hand, they are definitely wanderers of the world...

Regardless of what others think, Jiang Xiao is impressed.

There is no doubt that in order to control this area, the local military and civilians must have put in a lot of effort.

Of course, there are also historical issues involved. This Death Den Other Dimension Space was the first Death Den space to bloom on Chinese soil, and its research value and practical use value are beyond doubt.

The higher authorities ordered that this precious and unique Death Den Other Dimension Space be preserved. Subsequently, many capable people and people with lofty ideals fought bloody battles in this Other Dimension Space, preserving this Death Den with knives and guns.

Facts have proved that, to this day, this Death Den is one of only five Death Dens on Chinese soil; the number of such Other Dimension Spaces is extremely small.

And since this Death Den was brought under control, the advanced agility-based warriors produced by the Yanzhao system have indeed taken off…

The key word here is "advanced."

The Mingzhu Military Academy, which stands here, is also a nationally famous military academy. When Star Warriors truly advance to a certain level, local students and soldiers have the opportunity to come into contact with and enter the Death Den.

However, creatures of the Desperado lineage are all fierce Platinum-level masters, and their Star Techniques start at the Platinum level, so Star Warriors must be excellent enough to have the possibility of entering here.

So wanting to enter it during the university period of military academy is probably impossible.

A very realistic example is that in the National High School League, agility-based warriors from the Jinmen and Yanzhao Shadow lineages are prevalent. In the World Cup, agility-based warriors from Zhongyuan Province dominate. In these two stages, you simply cannot find any Yanzhao agility-based warriors of the Desperado lineage.

The Ancient Pagoda Peak of Zhongyuan Province and the Shadow Cave of Jinmen cultivate students and Star Warriors in the Nebula and Galaxy stages.

Since the quality of Star Techniques of the Desperado lineage is too high, it seems that the rise of the Yanzhao Desperado agility-based warriors will have to wait until after the Star Sea stage…

Xia Yan is not from Yanzhao; she is not a local military academy teacher or student, nor is she a local military officer or soldier. The reason why she can enter here in the Galaxy stage is entirely because of her status as the first batch of pioneering apprentices, and of course, also because she is the national champion.

Xia Yan's Desperado Star Bead was the prize she received when she won the National High School League championship.

Moreover, with her 28 Star Slots, she successfully absorbed one of the core Star Techniques—Platinum · Desperado's Blade (wang ming zhi ren)—which is what led to her subsequent story.

Xia Yan is always overshadowed by Han Jiangxue, but she is a living monster with 28 Star Slots, enough to be called a genius! Being able to absorb "Desperado's Blade" is indeed her talent.

If it were anyone else who received the Desperado Star Bead as their championship reward, then there probably wouldn't be a story to follow.

Xia Yan even once told Jiang Xiao that when she absorbed the Desperado Star Bead, she had a feeling of "transparency." Han Jiangxue truly felt this feeling when she absorbed Ember Sprite (yan xiao kui) and Ember Fire Puppet (yan huo kui) as a One-Star Dual-Technique.

What does this represent?

Xia Yan's Greatsword Star Chart is extremely compatible with the Star Beads and Star Techniques of the Desperado lineage!

Even if she didn't end up absorbing a One-Star Dual-Technique, she still absorbed Desperado's Blade in the Galaxy stage; the facts are right there.

Because this experience is dangerous enough, Instructor Jiang Hong, who can teleport, was conscripted again. He still has a serious look on his face, even though Jiang Xiao has won the World Cup individual championship, Instructor Jiang Hong still doesn't give Jiang Xiao any friendly words.

That face is as if Jiang Xiao owes him a hundred yuan…

…

Under the leadership of the two instructors, the four-person team met with the local pioneering instructors, boarded a van, and headed to the Death Den in the eastern district.

Striving to become a pioneering apprentice was really a very wise decision for everyone.

Since the group was the first "experimental class" of pioneering army students, the resources that the pioneering army poured into these children were simply unimaginable.

For Jiang Xiao, the pioneering army forcibly opened the road to the Tearful Rain Forest (lei yu zhi sen) in Ludao City, Bamin Province.

And for Xia Yan, the pioneering army once again exerted its strength and opened the road to the Death Den in Yanzhao Province.

Of course, it wasn't just these two who benefited; Song Chunxi, who came along, also hoped that he could obtain some Star Beads of the Desperado lineage.

As an agility-based warrior, everyone would want to have the good fortune to join the Yanzhao Desperado lineage after advancing and be labeled with the Desperado tag.

Although Song Chunxi is in the Galaxy stage and his Star Slots have already been filled, if he has a Desperado lineage Star Bead in hand after he advances to the Star Sea stage in the future, he will definitely absorb it as soon as possible.

The van drove into the easternmost part of the eastern district, which is already considered a semi-military and semi-civilian area. Military camps and residential areas and commercial districts are only a street apart. Such a dangerous Other Dimension Space is located in the military camp, while the people outside live normal and stable lives, which is enough to show the strength of the military.

The van stopped in the parking lot at the gate of the military camp. Under the guidance of two local pioneering army personnel, the group walked into the camp. After several inspections, the group did not go to the spatial gate immediately but came to a monument.

The monument was engraved with names. On the high-speed train when they came, Qin Wangchuan had spoken very seriously about this issue. The names on this monument were all those who exchanged their lives for the Death Den in those years, mostly military soldiers and some local people.

Everyone bowed their heads here in silent tribute for three minutes before heading to the building where the Other Dimension Space gate was located.

This Death Den is also the best interpretation of the saying "the predecessors plant the trees, and the descendants enjoy the shade." Tens of millions of such examples are pieced together to create the Chinese Republic of today.

Jiang Xiao was sure that Xia Yan would definitely not let all this down.

In the future, in the pioneering army, she will use the Desperado's Blade to carve out a glorious achievement.

Before entering the space gate, Jiang Xiao also keenly noticed the dissatisfaction of the local garrison.

The reason? Naturally, these four little guys are all in the Galaxy stage!

Due to the halo of these children—they are World Cup champions and sixth place in the World Cup team competition—the local garrison was even more unwilling to let such children enter the Death Den.

It is really too dangerous here, even with two powerful pioneering army members guarding them, injuries and deaths are inevitable…

This is the "Death Den"; this is a place of true "instantaneous life and death."

Losing any one of these four young people would really be a loss to the country.

Facts have proved that Jiang Xiao and others have indeed reached this point with their hard strength.

However, the pioneering army had already communicated with the garrison. No matter how much the soldiers wanted to stop them, they could only let the six-person team enter under orders. Until the end, they even tried to persuade Qin Wangchuan to find two more powerful pioneering army members to escort the four young people.

In fact, the garrison was wondering in their hearts why they didn't just beat Star Beads and let your apprentices absorb them.

But Qin Wangchuan didn't think so. Giving Star Beads and personal experience are completely different things. He knew this team and knew its capabilities, and…

Moreover, for Qin Wangchuan, he knew that this experience was not the "two guarding four" on the surface, but the "three guarding three."

Jiang Xiao had surpassed the level of his peers far too much. Although Qin Wangchuan had never said it to prevent Jiang Xiao from becoming too arrogant, Qin Wangchuan and Instructor Jiang Hong were very clear about this point.

People can comment shamelessly that Jiang Xiao's "hardware facilities" are insufficient, but in terms of "software facilities," this is almost an impeccable warrior.

Even during the previous month-long summer vacation, when the Capital pioneering army had an emergency mission, Qin Wangchuan strongly supported recruiting Jiang Xiao into the team.

However, Jiang Xiao was cooperating with the National Star Association to carry out official activities at that time, and the pioneering army team was not short of personnel at the time, so this proposal was dropped.

Jiang Xiao's solo journey in the World Cup showed his technical level, Star Technique utilization level, and that calm, rational, and tenacious heart…

Especially the last point, which had already allowed Jiang Xiao to break away from the status of apprentice and student and transform into a truly excellent soldier.

Qin Wangchuan only felt sorry that he was one step behind Shou Ye.

One step difference, step by step difference.

The six-person team finally entered the Death Den. Under such an agreement between the two armies, entering here was so difficult, and of course, the four little guys cherished this opportunity to experience it even more.

In the huge cave, people saw the figures of the garrison.

Due to the special nature of this Other Dimension Space, the garrison was not far from the spatial gate but was stationed right at the entrance. The material for building the houses should not have been taken from the local area but transported from Earth. Those houses had "steel and iron bones" and looked very strong.

The soldiers were also in groups of three or two, jointly guarding the space gate, standing guard, and not being negligent in the slightest.

With the help of torches, Jiang Xiao saw everything around him clearly.

The rows of torches spread along the walls all the way to the unknown depths of the huge tunnel.

Although the torches were bright, Jiang Xiao's first impression of this place was dark, the second impression was humid, and the third impression was that it was connected in all directions.

Death Den, as its name suggests.

The group appeared directly in a cave, unable to see the outside scenery.

Of course, it is not impossible to get out of here, but there is nothing outside, just a desolate wilderness. The hot sun is shining high, and there are no traces of animals or even very few plants.

It is well known that creatures of the Desperado lineage do not like light; they only exist in dark underground caves.

The tunnels connected in all directions are very large. Even if four teams were to fight in the tunnel, there would be more than enough combat space.

There are mostly signs left by the garrison in the tunnels, guiding people back.

Instructor Jiang Hong and Qin Wangchuan showed an unprecedented state of intense preparation. The creatures here will not greet you in advance and will not give you 3 seconds to react…

Using the Death Den as the place for Xia Yan's assessment for regularization is really killing several birds with one stone.

The four-person team looked at each other. With Jiang Xiao's nod, Han Jiangxue said, "Song Chunxi leads the way. Remember the route given to us by the garrison. We will go around the underground and return to the supply point here."

Speaking of this, Han Jiangxue looked at Qin Wangchuan and said, "Do the two instructors want to temporarily join the team?"

Qin Wangchuan shook his head and said, "No, this is your team's experience mission."

Qin Wangchuan has more confidence in this team; otherwise, he would not have strongly fought for them to enter the Death Den.

There is no doubt that this team represents the highest level of combat power in their age group. Qin Wangchuan believes that they can survive.

Appropriate protection is of course necessary; otherwise, Qin Wangchuan and Jiang Hong would not have come, but they must never be treated as flowers and raised in a greenhouse. If so, then don't be a Star Warrior.

Han Jiangxue continued to ask, "Then are you going to follow behind us?"

Qin Wangchuan nodded as a matter of course.

"Okay." Han Jiangxue looked at Jiang Xiao and said, "You and Song Chunxi lead the way, Xia Yan is in the middle, blocking in front of me. 2-2 grouping formation, the distance between the two groups should not be too close."

Xia Yan opened her mouth. She was the one who should be leading the way with Song Chunxi, but… well, okay, it's reasonable to let Jiang Xiao go.

In fact… if it weren't for the fact that Jiang Xiao didn't have any perception-type Star Techniques, Han Jiangxue would have wanted to let Jiang Xiao lead the way alone, with Song Chunxi and Xia Yan in the middle…

Due to terrain limitations, Jiang Xiao and Xia Yan's Domain Tears Star Techniques are limited, and only Song Chunxi's perception-type Star Technique can function normally.

Han Jiangxue is certainly not trying to trick Jiang Xiao; she can even give up her life for Jiang Xiao.

But one thing is one thing; this is team combat. The actual situation is that in this team, Jiang Xiao is the most perfect forward.

Jiang Xiao's existence will make this extremely dangerous Death Den a little simpler.

Since Jiang Xiao recognized Han Jiangxue's command position, he would of course obey orders.

Jiang Xiao just sadly discovered that after the World Cup, probably no one in this world regards him as a serious healer…
