Chapter 1 Jiu Xing Du Nai

Jiang Xun had originally intended to take Xiao Chongyang back to the Baihua (Birch) Forest to see her wild man uncles and aunts, but when Xiao Chongyang heard that the other Jiang Xiao (Jiang Tu) was returning to Yegu Pagoda with the main force, she insisted on going back with them.

Jiang Xun had thought Xiao Chongyang would miss the Baihua Forest a lot.

And indeed, she did miss her hometown, but compared to Jiang Xiao, she preferred being a tagalong.

If she could be the tagalong of two Jiang Xiaos, that would be even better.

At dawn, the army set off.

What Grandpa He had said about going to the "Great Northwest" was just a joke, and Jiang Xun had also made it clear that mutated Star Pets were not something you could find just by looking.

Countless teams and soldiers were squatting in one space after another in the E'ye Mountain sacred ruins, just waiting for a mutated Candlelight to appear, but until now, there hadn't been a second mutated gold-red Candlelight.

The environment of the Otherworld was not like that of Earth, and you couldn't just go wherever you wanted. After his joke, Grandpa He didn't really ask the team to accompany him to see the Great Northwest.

The Blind Woman, however, was a little tempted. It wasn't the mutated Star Pets that tempted her, but more the three words: Great Northwest.

It seemed she was simply curious about the outside world and wanted to go and see it.

After discussions among the team members, they determined their next mission target: to lead the army and attack the Kimchi Peninsula!

Zhang Songfu's proposal received strong support from Grandpa He Yun!

Completely annihilating all living things on the Kimchi Peninsula to use for experiments, to see if other-dimensional spaces would still appear on Earth after the creatures in the Otherworld disappeared, was already on the agenda.

The Blind Woman didn't object to this decision. Since she didn't have the ability to cut through the Yan Zhao land for the time being, going to the Kimchi Peninsula to see the magical creatures there would also be excellent.

Everyone was already in the Central Plains, and under the leadership of Diamond Silver Lovers, the army's return to Yegu Pagoda was relatively stable.

Yegu Pagoda had undergone a major migration once, and it was already located in the central part of Central Plains Province. The physical fitness of these platinum creatures was also beyond doubt, so the short journey of just over two hundred kilometers was nothing.

Jiang Tu also ruthlessly abandoned the main force and, together with Xiao Chongyang, rode the Black Ridge Fire Feather and flew back to Yegu Pagoda first.

One aspect was to inform the Peregrine Falcon brothers of the current situation, and also to have the Yegu Pagoda city immediately plan a district to provide housing for the Star Beasts from Lu Dong Province. Another aspect was to work with the two brothers to formulate various matters for receiving this army.

It is worth mentioning that Jiang Tu was a Flower Blade Star Chart, and only three of the nine Star Slots were lit. The first was the Star Pet Soul Devourer from Earth, and the second and third Star Techniques were the Gold Grade Azure Light and Gold Grade Endurance he had absorbed after arriving in the Otherworld.

This time, Jiang Tu was preparing to absorb the Star Beads and Star Techniques of the Desperado Clan together with Xiao Chongyang.

......

Xiao Chongyang's pretty short hair fluttered in the wind, and she looked at the distant ancient city with excitement. Sitting sideways on horseback, she turned her head to look at Jiang Tu behind her: "Jiang Xiao Jiang Xiao, is that Yeguda!?"

"Hsilulu~" The Black Ridge Fire Feather neighed, its broad charcoal-red wings constantly flapping as it flew rapidly.

Jiang Tu covered his mouth and nose with one hand. Flying so fast meant "drinking the northwest wind" if you opened your mouth...

"Yegu Pagoda," Jiang Tu corrected Xiao Chongyang's pronunciation, "When we land in a while, you'll see those three words."

"Mmm." Xiao Chongyang turned her head to look. This city was so strange, completely different from Baihua Forest.

As the Black Ridge Fire Feather approached, the Ghost Monks on the city wall also saw this familiar figure.

Master is back!

Eh?

Why is he bringing a little one? What is that?

Is it a Star Beast from another area? It looks kind of like a human?

"Master is back!"

"Master!" The Ghost Monk clan kept waving and shouting. The Black Ridge Fire Feather also landed in front of the city gate, its charcoal-red wings flapping as it floated above the city gate.

"Here, Yegu Pagoda." Jiang Tu pointed to the words above the city gate and said.

"Oh." Xiao Chongyang looked at it seriously, and seemed to have learned a few more Chinese characters. Whether she knew the words "Ancient Pagoda" or not, this character "Ye" was definitely the first time she had seen it.

"Master, what is that little thing? Get me one too!" A hoarse voice came down.

Xiao Chongyang was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened and she glared at the probing Ghost Monk.

Jiang Tu looked up at a Gold Lover in annoyance and said, "You're dreaming! This isn't a thing... Uh, this is one of us humans!"

The Gold Lover was also stunned for a moment, curiously looking at this child who was full of wildness from head to toe. How could this be a human?

Isn't this a Star Beast?

Could a human's temperament be this wild?

......

Jiang Tu took Xiao Chongyang to see the Peregrine Falcon brothers Li Haoge and Yue Yuchen, discussed the instructions for receiving the army, and then asked Li Haoge for a pile of Star Beads from the Desperado Clan, and flew back to his own small courtyard with Xiao Chongyang.

There was only a low bungalow in the courtyard. It wasn't big. Entering the door was the living room, and there were houses on both the left and right sides, just enough to separate one for Xiao Chongyang to live in.

However, if nothing unexpected happened, they wouldn't be living here for long either. When the army returned, they would select soldiers and personally lead an expedition across the sea to have fun on the Kimchi Peninsula.

"It's all made of stone, so cold, why not use wood?" Xiao Chongyang carried her small hands behind her back, looking here and there, curiously looking at the furniture in the house.

In the living room, besides a stone table and a few stone chairs, there was really nothing else. It could be said to be bare.

"This house was built for me by an uncle named 'Big Hammer'. He's my neighbor and lives next door. Keep your voice down, don't let him hear you. It's good enough that we have a place to live," Jiang Tu said with a smile, rubbing Xiao Chongyang's head. He turned to look at the Black Ridge Fire Feather outside the door and instructed, "Play in the yard, don't go out."

"Lu..." The Black Ridge Fire Feather snorted. There was nothing in the house, and even less in the yard. There was a well, and the Black Ridge Fire Feather walked over and knocked the wooden bucket that was tethered to the well into the well.

Then it opened its big mouth, bit the wooden handle on the side, and shook it back and forth, pulling the wooden bucket in the well back up.

"It's so smart!" Xiao Chongyang was shocked! She watched the Black Ridge Fire Feather draw water and quench its thirst by itself, as if she had seen something incredible.

Jiang Tu smiled and said, "Remember, your Star Pet is very smart. As long as you are lazy enough, it will become especially diligent. Of course, you have to prepare food for it, otherwise, if it goes to the city to forage for food, that'll be a big problem."

Xiao Chongyang asked curiously, "Why can't it go to the city to forage for food?"

"Uh..." Jiang Tu scratched his head and said, "Because its target may be Ghost Face Monks, and all the Ghost Face Monks in the city are our friends, our soldiers."

"Oh..." Xiao Chongyang's eyes lit up and said, "Then when I take it back to Baihua Forest in the future, I'll invite it to eat Ape Ghosts!"

"Okay, okay, come on, quickly absorb the Star Beads. Yan Zhao Land Desperado Clan Star Beads." Jiang Tu dragged Xiao Chongyang to sit on the stone chair, picked up the wide Soul Devourer, spread it on the stone table as a tablecloth, and put down a handful of Star Beads.

Before Yegu Pagoda migrated here, it had seized a considerable number of Desperado Clan Star Beads when it was attacked by the Desperado Clan, and in the days that followed, the team repeatedly attacked the Yan Zhao land, so at this time, the reserves of Desperado Clan Star Beads were definitely sufficient.

"I can also move quickly like those people!" Xiao Chongyang rubbed her small hands excitedly. On the way here, Jiang Xiao had already told her what Star Technique to absorb.

She picked up a Star Bead and quickly absorbed it.

She saw the Star Bead shatter in her hand, turning into starlight and merging into her body.

Then, Xiao Chongyang waved her hand, and a platinum-colored Desperado Halberd condensed in her hand!

Jiang Tu: ???

"Ha! So pretty!" Xiao Chongyang looked at the Desperado Fangtian Halberd in her hand with a look of joy, seemingly very fond of this platinum color.

She quickly got up, ran out of the house like a happy child, came to the campus, and directly danced with the Desperado Halberd.

Between gestures, every move and stance was full of Jiang Xiao's taught skills.

Jiang Tu turned his head stupidly to look outside the door, watching Xiao Chongyang practicing her skills. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Xiao Chongyang's figure suddenly disappear!

"Rumble!" Xiao Chongyang, who had been standing in the center of the courtyard, reappeared and was already on the south side of the courtyard wall!

Not only that, but she also shattered the courtyard wall with a halberd.

"Ah." Xiao Chongyang was startled. The Desperado Halberd in her hand quietly shattered. She turned her head with a worried look, looking at Jiang Tu carefully with the appearance of having done something wrong.

Jiang Tu looked at He Chongyang in shock, his voice a little stuttering, and said, "You, Star Chart, let me see."

Xiao Chongyang hurriedly opened the Star Chart. She lowered her head, nervously twisting her fingers.

She had just arrived here and shattered the courtyard wall. Would he be angry?

1..2..3...15...16!

Confirmed! 16 Star Slots lit up! Xiao Chongyang originally had 15 Star Slots lit up! (14 Star Techniques + Black Ridge Fire Feather)

This meant...

A second ago, what Jiang Tu wanted to ask was: You succeeded in absorbing with just one Star Bead? You absorbed the Desperado Weapon Star Technique?

And at this moment, what Jiang Tu wanted to ask was: Is it also a one-star double-skill!?

What kind of talent is this?

A mid-stage Star Sea at the age of 15 was already shocking enough. Succeeded in absorbing with 1 Star Bead, and also a one-star double-skill?

Platinum Desperado Weapon and Platinum Desperado Blade?

Are you still human!?

Could it be that this batch of goods is of high quality?

Jiang Tu casually picked up a Desperado Clan Star Bead and quickly absorbed it, and then... there was no then. He didn't absorb anything.

Damn, why can't I do it...

"I, I'm sorry, Jiang Xiao, I... I'll pile up the wall for you!" Xiao Chongyang found that Jiang Xiao hadn't spoken for a long time, but was staring at the Star Beads in a daze. She hurriedly ran to the side of the courtyard wall and picked up a broken stone brick.

"No need, no need! Hurry back, take a deep breath, and absorb the Star Beads of the Desperado Walker! If you give me another one-star double-skill, you can trample my house down today, and I'll still be happy!" Jiang Tu hurriedly beckoned Xiao Chongyang over.

Xiao Chongyang was still a little worried, with the appearance of having done something wrong. She lowered her head, flapped her small legs, and ran back quickly.

"My Xiao Chongyang, these hands of yours are hands for holding weapons, for fighting north and south, not hands for building walls." Jiang Tu held her wrist and threw the half brick in her hand away with a distressed look.

Coincidentally, Jiang Tu's words overlapped with the words of a middle-aged man, and the two said them almost at the same time.

"Eh... whose little girl is this, how is she so strong that she broke my wall!?"

Xiao Chongyang was startled, turned her head to look, and saw a big bald head.

Jiang Tu's residence was said to be a single-family courtyard, but in fact, with a wall in between, it was Big Hammer's residence. The two courtyards shared one wall...

Xiao Chongyang stuck out her tongue and quickly ran behind Jiang Tu, revealing half of her face and looking at the strange bald-headed uncle.

Jiang Tu also laughed and said, "We can't understand what you're saying. Speak Mandarin, or switch to the dialect of the three northeastern provinces."

Big Hammer also came back to his senses, looking at Xiao Chongyang with great curiosity and said, "Whose kid is this? Where did you find her?"

Jiang Tu said with a smile, "This is the Xiao Chongyang from Baihua Forest that I told you about. Okay, hurry up and cook, make something delicious, and I'll take her to your house to eat later."

Big Hammer patted his bald head: "Okay, I'll wait for you two."

Although he said that, Big Hammer didn't leave, but picked up the broken bricks and started to build the wall while using earth-based Star Techniques, muttering, "These hands of mine are hands for cooking and building walls."

Jiang Tu's face was embarrassed, and he quickly dragged Xiao Chongyang into the house.
