Chapter 1 Half an hour later, the military vehicle drove into another field military camp.

This military camp could hardly be called a military camp. There were only two tents and a small number of soldiers.

At this time, a dozen soldiers were on high alert, holding guns and guarding the opened other-dimensional space gate, which was still emitting wisps of white mist.

Obviously, the soldiers existed specifically for this other-dimensional space gate. When they heard the sound of a vehicle, they aimed their dark muzzles at the direction the vehicle was coming from.

Jiang Xiao didn't blame them. This was a group of people who were really fighting hard on the battlefield, and they should be so cautious.

Their weapons were almost all guns, which suggested that they might be ordinary soldiers.

And their existence was the so-called last line of defense. If any creatures from inside the other-dimensional space accidentally came out, these ordinary soldiers would likely lose their lives.

Compared to ordinary people, Star Warriors were relatively few in number.

But even so, such a scene should not have occurred.

Two tents, a few ordinary soldiers guarding this last line of defense? Was China really so short of Star Warriors? Or... were there too many other-dimensional spaces opened in this continuous Bai Shan mountain range, involving too many troops?

As the vehicle came to a stop, the soldier in the driver's seat jumped out of the military vehicle and identified himself to the soldiers.

Afterwards, Er Wei brought Jiang Xiao to the space gate that was emitting wisps of white mist.

These overlapping space gates were indeed a bit dreamy. Er Wei didn't hesitate, bent down, and plunged into the white mist. Jiang Xiao, carrying his blade, hurriedly followed.

After that, Jiang Xiao felt a chill. The surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and the air, mixed with mist, entered his lungs, giving him a refreshing feeling.

Two figures, one large and one small, stood in the midst of the mist, both cautiously observing the surroundings, neither making any rash moves.

Fortunately, the surrounding mist was not too thick, and the two had some visibility.

Moreover, several soldiers had already walked forward from within the mist.

Compared to the soldiers outside, the soldiers guarding the inside of the gate were somewhat different. Whether it was in terms of weapons, equipment, or aura and posture, they were superior.

Were these people Star Warriors?

Seeing this, Jiang Xiao felt a little better. The ordinary soldiers outside were not being abandoned at will. If an accident really happened, the Star Warrior soldiers inside would definitely be the first to step up.

"Please be sure to remember your direction of travel. If you receive an order to retreat, obey the order immediately and return here as quickly as possible." A soldier handed over two invisible earphones.

On the side of the military tent was the high-flying Red Star Flag. The special material was emitting a bright red light. The special color was very penetrating and could guide the soldiers back home in a mist.

This group of Star Warrior soldiers should be doing the work of the Guardian Legion.

However, they were only temporarily stationed here. This space would not be further developed. The cold weapon master that Er Wei was looking for had also received a mission to destroy the "Holy Ruins."

Er Wei put on the invisible earphones, adjusted them for a while, and asked in a hoarse voice, "The location of the special operations team in this space."

The guarding soldier pointed towards the depths of the mist in the direction of the tent door: "Proceed in this direction."

Er Wei nodded, pressed the invisible earphone with one hand, and said, "Wen Di, this is a Night Watcher coming to support you. Please respond if you hear me."

Wen Di was the name of the cold weapon master, and also the leader of the special operations team in this space.

"Is that Officer Luan?" After a while, a gentle male voice came from the invisible earphone, sounding very young.

Er Wei: "Yes."

Wen Di: "The guards will tell you our direction of travel. We haven't deviated from the route and are still searching for the location of the Holy Ruins."

Er Wei: "Keep the direction unchanged, slow down the speed of travel, expand deeper to both sides of the route, increase the search area, I will be there soon."

Wen Di: "Roger."

Er Wei turned around and looked down at Jiang Xiao, saying, "Leave the package here."

"Oh." Jiang Xiao handed the marching pack behind him directly to the guards. He understood what Er Wei meant. Was she going to move quickly?

If they went at full speed, did she think the difference in speed between the two of them could be made up for with just a bag?

"Keep up with me." Er Wei said, striding out with her long legs.

Without the marching pack, Jiang Xiao carried the blade on his back and ran forward.

After running for more than a hundred meters, Jiang Xiao found that Er Wei's speed was maintained at the limit of Jiang Xiao's speed, which was quite conscientious.

As an awakened student, his physical fitness was definitely unquestionable. Jiang Xiao adjusted his breathing while adjusting his footing.

Jiang Xiao noticed that after the two ran over a stable terrain, the terrain took a sharp turn downwards. This large downhill slope was very steep, which made Jiang Xiao have to think that he was in the mountains, and the flat ground just now was a special terrain hidden on the top of the mountain.

Er Wei maintained her speed and could walk on flat ground, but Jiang Xiao was suffering. He couldn't run down the slope at all. With the rocks on both sides sliding down, Jiang Xiao was in danger of stepping into the air at any time.

"Screech~" Suddenly, a slightly harsh bird's cry pierced through the layers of mist and resounded among the mountains.

Then, another melodious bird's cry sounded, as if responding to the previous bird's cry.

Jiang Xiao was shocked, because the second bird's cry was directly above his head.

Jiang Xiao tried to stop and looked up, but he couldn't penetrate the layers of mist to see the source of the sound.

The first sharp bird's cry sounded again, obviously closer to Jiang Xiao!

Jiang Xiao hurriedly pulled out the giant blade behind him and looked around vigilantly.

This was the Snow Mountain Region other-dimensional space. There were three types of other-dimensional creatures here, one gold and two platinum! The other-dimensional creatures here were not messing around!

If he wasn't careful, he might really become someone else's food!

Whoosh...

Before Jiang Xiao could react, he felt a gust of wind blowing over his head.

A huge and slender figure swooped over Jiang Xiao's head like a hungry tiger. Then, there was the sound of violently flapping wings, the bird's hissing, and finally the tearing sound of being disemboweled.

Er Wei's nails were not long, clean and neat, but under her unique Star Technique, her fingers were like hard and sharp blades, instantly tearing apart this strange bird that fell from the sky.

This big bird was more than two meters long, and if it spread its wings, it would be five meters wide.

It had a hawk-like head, but a body of white feathers. Under its violent struggles, feathers flew everywhere. The white color of the feathers cleverly blended with the color of the mist, which obviously added natural camouflage to this strange bird.

Jiang Xiao held the giant blade in front of him, looked up slightly, and nervously observed his surroundings.

Er Wei had already torn apart the head of the big bird, took out the Star Bead from it, wiped her blood-stained hands on the white wings of the big bird, grabbed the wings of the big bird, swung her arms around, and threw it hard into the sky.

The huge strange bird flew away quickly and disappeared into the layers of mist. Er Wei stood silently, listening intently. After a few seconds, she said, "Let's go."

Jiang Xiao secretly thought that Er Wei should have intentionally fed it. The thrown-out corpse should have been picked up and eaten by its companions.

At the same time, Jiang Xiao had a deeper understanding of Er Wei's strength. After nine months apart, she was even stronger.

In just a few seconds, she easily slaughtered a Gold-level Bai Shan Snow Eagle. Such a scene was extremely shocking to Jiang Xiao.

Understated, effortless.

Was this the level of a Star Ocean stage expert?

Jiang Xiao didn't even see when she started moving, when she swept over his head. The ghostly figure and speed really gave Jiang Xiao a fright.

Moreover... she didn't even use a few Star Techniques. She only used a Silver-quality "Sharpness" throughout the whole process, right?

Wasn't it said that after the Star River stage, a Star Warrior's physical fitness was no longer a rigid indicator, and there would be no significant improvement?

Where exactly is the limit of the human body?

I'm going further and further down the path of being flashy, why did you suddenly jump out and give me a lesson?

Have you ever considered the feelings of a Nebula stage nobody?
