Chapter 452 Playing it to Death
The armory is a representative other-dimensional space of Zhongji Province; Beijiang Province doesn't have many.
Before Erwei set her sights on the armory around Daxi City, she searched for armories near Jiangbin City, including some in Zhongji Province, and conducted some investigations and comparisons of the interiors.
In the end, Erwei chose Daxi City in Beijiang Province.
Because Holy Ruins like the one in the Jiannan Village Snowfield are truly rare, the Holy Ruins gates of armories are almost always open in "open" terrain. So, the two chose the nearest armory, setting their sights on Platinum: Beloved and Platinum: Dawn.
It only takes a little over an hour to drive from Jiangbin City to Daxi City. The main reason the provincial league didn't set the competition location in Daxi City back then, but chose the remote Zhongcheng County in Guanlin City, was because the armories around Daxi City were highly developed, with a large number of trainees entering.
Sealing off this place that made money every day was clearly not a wise move. Guanlin City is located on the border between China and Russia, relatively remote, with fewer trainees, so sealing it off resulted in less loss.
Jiang Xiao and Erwei quickly arrived in the west of Daxi City, in the area bordering Zhongji Province.
The two smoothly presented their credentials. Erwei, using the same reason, brought her apprentice, Jiang Xiao, into the armory, intending to see the so-called Holy Ruins.
Jiang Xiao had to admit that entering this sunny armory from the snowy and icy world was indeed refreshing!
It was as if they had suddenly arrived in early summer, with fresh air, a pleasant environment, and a vibrant atmosphere.
Jiang Xiao carried his spare great blade, changed into the camouflage uniform he had brought, and followed Erwei into the depths.
According to the soldiers, the Holy Ruins stood 200 kilometers from the entrance...
But Jiang Xiao thought that the 200 kilometers here would be much easier to run than the 170 kilometers in the volcano.
Because the climate here was simply too good. Running here was a pleasure, while running in the volcano, he was a vacuum cleaner, and even the dust mask couldn't change that fact.
The gloomy sky, the billowing smoke of the volcano, and the volcanic ash that filled the sky... just thinking about it made Jiang Xiao feel like he needed another shower.
However, that volcanic dimensional space was very suitable as a desktop wallpaper. The background was truly desolate, bleak, magnificent, and majestic, with a unique and contradictory beauty.
The savage witches in the armory were easier to recognize. They mostly wore animal skin clothing and shoes. Ordinary savages only used leaves and other plants to make grass skirts, while savage witches, like savage male witches, were clearly superior beings.
Moreover, as one of the few long-range spellcasting beings in the savage race, as long as you see a savage blocked behind other savages, and they aren't holding a bow and arrow, even if they aren't wearing animal skin clothing and shoes, they should be savage witches.
Daxi City is considered a relatively large city in Beijiang Province. The armory here is comparable to the snowfield in Jiannan Village. The awakened ones who enter here for training are endless. Jiang Xiao and Erwei ran wildly all the way, without lingering too much at the entrance.
You know, today is the second day of the Lunar New Year!
But there are still so many awakened ones coming here for training. The profession of Star Warrior really requires enduring hardship to rise above others.
There is no sunrise or sunset in the armory. The two ran rapidly for a long time until they encountered a tribe led by an Ape-Ghost King. Jiang Xiao knew it was time to infuse some savage witch star beads.
Jiang Xiao and Erwei didn't disturb the lazy, collectively sleeping Ape-Ghost tribe, because Jiang Xiao was racing against time.
Erwei did have the strength to instantly kill the Ape-Ghost King, but she was here to train Jiang Xiao, only helping with the infusion of star beads. Her role wasn't a combatant, let alone a pet.
Well... although Jiang Xiao had always considered her the latter.
The two secretly slipped past the Ape-Ghost group. Not long after running, Erwei noticed movement in the bushes to the left front.
Jiang Xiao looked in the direction Erwei pointed and vaguely saw figures shaking behind the trees and in the bushes.
Oh?
Did they encounter a savage tribe?
Judging from the intentions of this group of savages, were they planning to ambush the Ape-Ghost tribe?
Jiang Xiao was overjoyed. Being able to ambush the Ape-Ghost tribe, and with an Ape-Ghost King in that tribe, indirectly indicated that there must be high-level savage witches in this group of savages in the forest.
Jiang Xiao drew the great blade from his back, turned to look at Erwei, and said, "I'm going in. I'll kill them in one strike. Any objections?"
Erwei raised her eyebrows. She knew that Jiang Xiao was talking like this because he hadn't noticed the dense group of savages in the forest...
Jiang Xiao did exactly that, carrying his blade and charging into the dense forest.
Military strategy says: Don't enter the forest lightly.
Jiang Xiao says: The ancestors were absolutely right!
When Jiang Xiao stabbed a savage male spearman to death, he was almost shot into a hedgehog!
A group of female archers hiding in the dark drew their bows and notched their arrows the moment Jiang Xiao clashed blades with the savage male spearman. The arrows, carrying a faint purple light, were obviously imbued with the "Abomination" star technique, and rained down on Jiang Xiao.
However, Jiang Xiao's Endurance was of platinum quality, so these arrows didn't pierce his skin.
The arrows clattered to the ground, but some of them pierced his clothes and hung on him.
Erwei had obviously anticipated this situation, but Jiang Xiao was startled!
There were so many savages ambushing in the forest?
If they hadn't shot their arrows, Jiang Xiao would have really thought it was a small tribe. Judging by the number of arrows, there must have been twenty or thirty savage female archers alone in this savage tribe!
The arrows became the signal for the start of the battle. Accompanied by the savage male spearman's screams, the forest in front of Jiang Xiao came "alive." Groups of savages ran out, with halos under their feet!
Jiang Xiao was overjoyed, Savage Witches!
At this moment, Jiang Xiao was practically a great shield warrior!
Strong!
Brash!
Jiang Xiao didn't care about the arrows coming from all directions. He walked on this dangerous battlefield as if strolling in a garden, extremely arrogant!
Arrows shot at him, tearing his clothes, contacting his skin, making crisp "ding-ding" sounds, and then falling at Jiang Xiao's feet.
Found them!
Jiang Xiao finally saw a savage witch with strange purple eyes and wearing an animal skin skirt.
Jiang Xiao excitedly gripped his blade tightly and strode forward.
His body twisted and turned among the savages, chopping left and right. Then, Jiang Xiao seemed impatient with these swarming savages. He swept his great blade horizontally, instantly clearing the area in front of him!
After that blade, mixed with green light, everyone, regardless of whether they were dead or alive, had to retreat twenty meters!
The savage witch was startled, watching a "hedgehog" tear through the defense line in front of her and charge straight towards her.
The savage witch turned and ran...
Jiang Xiao threw a Blessing at her. The savage witch's fleeing figure suddenly stiffened, her steps faltered, and due to inertia, she face-planted.
Behind Jiang Xiao, Erwei's ears twitched slightly, and she suddenly turned around.
"Roar!!!" With a roar of anger, a huge figure stepped down. The huge foot even crushed the savage witch into a pulp!
Golden King!
Flying, earth-shattering Great Ape-Ghost!
Jiang Xiao didn't know how high or far this Ape-Ghost King jumped or flew. He only knew that the savage witch he had within his grasp had been stomped to death by an Ape-Ghost King that fell from the sky!
Not only was she stomped to death, but the Ape-Ghost King's huge hand grabbed the savage witch's head and stuffed it directly into its mouth.
I'll beat your mother!
What a total waste!?
Jiang Xiao was almost angered to death by the Ape-Ghost King, so he used Blessing on the Ape-Ghost King.
Not a small Blessing, but a Platinum Great Blessing!
A holy and huge beam of light descended from the sky. The Ape-Ghost King swayed, actually dodging it, but in the next moment, the Ape-Ghost King made a strange guttural sound.
Because... this huge Platinum Blessing beam had a splash effect.
The thick beam of light continued to descend, and overflowing Blessing starlight splashed out, landing on the Ape-Ghost King, which had just dodged.
Just as the Ape-Ghost King was trembling comfortably, the Platinum Great Blessing descended again, directly enveloping it.
This time, the Ape-Ghost King's voice was continuous, and the strange cry echoed through the forest.
The savage group in front of Jiang Xiao and the Ape-Ghost group behind him seemed somewhat confused at this moment.
The battlefield fell into a stalemate for a moment.
Until an Ape-Ghost activated the Berserk star technique, the entire battlefield came "alive" again.
Erwei had been guarding behind Jiang Xiao, protecting him, but this battle was no longer about the two of them. It was a battle between two tribes.
Obviously, compared to the two humans, they hated each other's tribe more. It seemed that these two large tribes had fought many times.
However, with Jiang Xiao holding back the Ape-Ghost King, this group of savages went wild, forming small groups and trying to slaughter these flying, earth-shattering monsters.
Erwei observed the situation while pulling arrows from Jiang Xiao's back and throwing them on the ground.
Jiang Xiao stretched out one hand, and the Platinum Great Blessing continued to descend as he strode towards the Ape-Ghost King.
"Tsk tsk..." Jiang Xiao couldn't help but smack his lips in secret about his own star technique. He rarely went all out, but the "wasteful act" just now had really angered him.
This was also a deserted forest area. Since Erwei didn't stop him, Jiang Xiao could be unrestrained.
Jiang Xiao looked at his Platinum Great Blessing, at the stars that splashed out in all directions, and he couldn't help but shudder.
This was too scary!
The huge figure in the giant beam of light had collapsed to the ground, no longer howling.
The former Ape-Ghost King, full of vigor, would roar, shaking the earth!
Now, the Ape-Ghost King was weak and slumped on the ground like a puddle of mud.
Jiang Xiao stopped Blessing, and Erwei behind him couldn't help but turn her head to look.
Erwei had been expressionless, but after she saw this scene, her expression became extremely strange.
In front of Jiang Xiao, a huge figure was slumped on the ground.
It lay on its back in a "大" shape (Chinese character for "big"), its huge eyes were incredibly hollow, as if they had lost their luster.
Its blood basin mouth was slightly open, its red tongue hanging out of its mouth, drooping all the way to the ground, dripping with foul-smelling saliva.
Until Jiang Xiao walked in front of it, the flying, earth-shattering Ape-Ghost King didn't react at all.
Jiang Xiao, carrying his great blade, patted the Ape-Ghost King's furry head, but the Ape-Ghost King still didn't react.
Jiang Xiao was frightened by his fully powered Blessing!
Yes,
Jiang Xiao was actually frightened by himself!
He scratched his buzz cut and turned to look at Erwei: "Did... Did I heal it to death?"
Erwei: "......"
