Yu
Chapter 279 Watchdog
Li Weiyi raised his long-handled heavy hammer high, and the Blazing Star skill lit up, with raging flames burning on the hammer, much brighter than the torch in Jiang Xiao's hand.
The terrain ahead had changed somewhat. A stone wall had a gap in the middle, looking like a doorway.
Those people seemed to know they had been discovered, or perhaps they noticed the new team slowing down and becoming fully alert, so the figures hidden behind the stone wall flashed out.
This person blocked the gap in the wall, turning the path into a dead end.
What was behind this person? A special room? A mysterious passage? Or the forbidden area of the ancient imperial tomb?
"This road is blocked, return the way you came." The black-clothed man's voice was a little hoarse. He wore a cloak with the hood pulled low, and his head was slightly lowered, so people could only see his chin.
In the flickering light, this person's image and voice seemed particularly eerie.
Of course, this could only scare these children. Jiang Xiao wasn't worried at all.
A man in black? A mysterious and blurry figure? A hoarse and sinister voice?
This was Er Wei's standard getup!
I've been with her for so long, you think you can scare me with this kind of act?
Compared to Er Wei, you're just a minor player.
You've only learned the superficial appearance, not the inner essence of her aloof soldier demeanor.
That cold temperament, that chilling aura, you can't learn it at all.
"Guardian Army?" Li Weiyi asked uncertainly.
The man in black did not respond, repeating the same sentence: "This road is blocked, return the way you came."
Li Weiyi's face was full of doubt. He clearly sensed four people's auras, but the other three were still hiding behind the wall. This looked more like a participating team than the Night Watch or star warriors scattered throughout the ancient imperial tomb.
Han Jiangxue frowned slightly, and Xia Yan was also a little stunned. This...
Just then, Jiang Xiao suddenly spoke up, "We can move freely within the 1-18th floors, why should we return the way we came?"
Everyone was shocked. If the other party was really the Guardian Corps, Jiang Xiao's tone and content weren't very friendly.
"Last time, get lost." The black-clothed man said in a low voice, his head lowered.
Jiang Xiao said directly, "How old are you, acting so profound? Lowering your voice, trying to sound cool?"
The black-clothed man suddenly raised his head, revealing a young face.
Han Jiangxue and the others looked surprised. They were the same age? High school students? Participating students?
Seeing that he couldn't keep up the act, two figures "swooshed" out of the gap in the wall. The trio formed a triangular formation, and the remaining figure didn't come out from behind the wall. It seemed like they were a mage or support type.
"We told you to get lost, can't you understand human language?!" the young man wearing the black hood said.
But Jiang Xiao felt that the person in the second row looked familiar. Wasn't that "Chuan'r?" (Skewered Meat)
Howard Lee?
These people were from the team participating from the Imperial Capital. What were they doing here?
Jiang Xiao's mind raced. If this was a dead end, then their actions were idiotic. Any ancient martial arts team could come here and slaughter them without leaving a trace.
So what was behind this broken wall?
Clearly, this was an important entrance, otherwise they wouldn't be guarding it.
So now the question was, everyone was entering the ancient imperial tomb for the first time, why did they know to guard here? Did they know the terrain in advance?
The more Jiang Xiao thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Combining it with the high school teams from the Imperial Capital, who seemed to be getting along well at the reporting, obviously there was a trend of alliance. Looking at it this way...
Jiang Xiao had a bad feeling in his heart. Coming back to his senses, he heard the fierce verbal exchange between the opposing young man and Xia Yan.
Xia Yan had been in a bad mood all along. She had just been tricked by that Xiao Qi, and now another team was blocking their path?
Xia Yan taunted, "We were almost scared by you. Robbing people here? Do you have the ability to do that?"
The hooded young man said in a sinister voice, "Stop talking nonsense, get lost! Stop talking shit, just say you want to die!"
As he spoke, the trio in front of the wall lit up their star charts, looking ready to strike.
Jiang Xiao suddenly raised his hands and said, "Retreat."
Xia Yan was furious, and the two-handed sword star chart on her body had already bloomed, the 28 star slots dazzling everyone's eyes.
Han Jiangxue hesitated for two seconds, and uttered two words: "Withdraw."
As she spoke, she grabbed Xia Yan's arm and retreated, Li Weiyi propped up his shield, and the quartet maintained their formation, retreating step by step.
Xia Yan was trembling with anger, but she had nowhere to vent. She stomped her feet hard: "Argh!!!"
When had she ever suffered such grievances?
Treat life and death lightly, fight if you disagree!
Who had this old lady, who had been traveling the martial world for so many years, ever been afraid of? Why was this damn Jiang Xiaopi being so cowardly? Why were they retreating!?
As for Jiang Xiao, his heart was much gloomier than his face. Just as he had said before, he had brought these children out, not to suffer grievances.
What kind of society was this?
This was a society with a shockingly fast pace, and even more so a society of "disagree and we fight to the death."
If I said I was going to beat you, I would kick you immediately.
If I said I was going to kill your whole family, I had to do it tonight, I couldn't even wait until the next day.
A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late?
That was the kind of mind great figures should have. Jiang Xiao usually took revenge on the spot, and if he really couldn't, he would wait a little longer.
Most importantly, 8 or 9 teams from the Imperial Capital had formed an alliance, clearly aiming for a spot in the semi-finals.
The existence of this alliance damaged the interests of all other teams. Especially teams like Jiang Xiao's. Jiang Xiao had never said it out loud, but he had his own ambitions. He really wanted to fight for a semi-final spot.
If he could seize this opportunity when they were alone, and defeat one team, it would not only help to reduce the strength of the Imperial Capital alliance, but also help Jiang Xiao's team to get a place!
But before taking revenge, he had to verify his guess.
He only heard Jiang Xiao shout loudly to the opposite side: "It's not easy to be in the Imperial Capital alliance, right? Following behind other people's asses, guarding the door for them, they eat meat, can you get some soup?"
The hooded man's face turned angry, and he said loudly, "What?"
Seeing the other party's reaction, Jiang Xiao was even more certain of his guess. He said quietly, "Prepare Lightning Chains."
With those words, Xia Yan was stunned.
Jiang Xiao raised his head and continued to shout loudly to the opposite side: "Everyone is young, at an age where they don't want to admit defeat, who doesn't want to be the protagonist? No one wants to be a doorman for others, right?"
Jiang Xiao's voice drifted far away, causing the quartet on the opposite side to be dumbfounded.
This was... a provocation!?
The hooded man was furious and shouted sharply, "Say that again, you piece of trash!?"
Jiang Xiao responded loudly, word by word, very clearly: "I said you're weak, I said you're doormen!"
Hooded Man: "You... cough... cough..."
The man's face was flushed red, and he couldn't continue after saying half a sentence, as if the blood in his stomach was surging up and he was about to vomit. The star power in his body was running wild, and he could only make strange coughing sounds for a while.
Gold Quality Star Technique * Silence Voice!
Han Jiangxue threw the Lightning Chains directly from both hands!
The sound of the electric current bursting out was chilling, and the Lightning Chains instantly connected to the quartet in the distance, frantically going back and forth, illuminating the dark corner of the wall.
"Enough, enough, 2 shots are enough." Jiang Xiao hurriedly stopped her. Jiang Xiao knew how Han Jiangxue's output was, not to mention that this was a Gold Quality Star Technique, and the highest damage lightning star technique.
If Han Jiangxue threw out one more shot, something big might happen.
"Yo? Isn't this Chuan'r! What a coincidence to meet you here... Chuan'r! What's wrong Chuan'r! Answer me, Chuan'r!" From behind the crowd, a special local accent came from afar.
The crowd looked back warily, but saw Tianjin Thug Liu Yang and his team.
And that beautiful medical girl, Cai Yao, had a serious face, walking forward without looking sideways, looking very proud, but suddenly winked at Jiang Xiao again when no one was paying attention.
Jiang Xiao wasn't sure what this girl was up to. Why did she keep winking at him?
Could it be...
She was kidnapped?
Asking me for help?
Tianjin Thug Liu Yang didn't care about others, he walked past Jiang Xiao's team on his own, and came to Li Howard: "Alright, didn't I say that we are all descendants of the dragon? You have to open your eyes wide, okay?"
Liu Yang squatted down, and while digging through Li Howard's pockets: "Really, you dare to stop anyone's team? Do you know who this is? Poisonous Milk King! AkA North River Bandit!"
Jiang Xiao scratched his head, with a puzzled expression: "Do I need you to praise me?"
Originally, it was tense and full of murderous intent, but how did the style change when this kid came?
