Chapter 1 Jiang Xiao's Miscalculation

Jiang Xiao's conspiracy failed. The esteemed bald-headed teacher Hu stipulated that the last person to reach the top of the mountain had to stand at military attention for an hour.

Jiang Xiao respected his teachers, of course, and wanted to leave this great opportunity to exercise to Teacher Hu.

Those beams of blessing light were not a joke. They were all mixed with Jiang Xiao's full sincerity.

But contrary to his wishes, the beams of light had to stop.

Because Le Yue saw a touch of black phantom on the top of the mountain.

"Situation! Black Flame Demon!" Le Yue's eyesight was excellent. He immediately shouted, causing everyone to stop and be on guard.

Jiang Xiao's face was bitter. Why did it have to be this disgusting creature? Why didn't he encounter a Black Flame Ghost first?

The Black Flame Demon's disgusting star technique was the true source of the so-called "Bitterness of Black Rock Mountain."

Jiang Xiao raised his right fist to signal the team to stop.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Xiao ordered: "Advance steadily, step by step, when will I take the initiative to bless... uh, I'll open with Silence first, Xiao Sheng use Black Starfall, try not to rush to approach it, and see how the Black Starfall works."

As the Poisonous Milk King, Jiang Xiao's first thought was blessing.

But he immediately thought that it was a King creature of the Gold rank, and it was also a Min-Warrior type of creature, with high vigilance and speed. It would be difficult for the blessing light to hit the target.

If Jiang Xiao could use Platinum-quality Blessing without any concerns, the huge beam of light might graze the opponent, but Jiang Xiao couldn't do that. So many people were watching. Currently, he could only use Silver-quality Blessing.

In this way, using the area-of-effect skill Silence of the Void to strike first was obviously more ideal. It could prevent the opponent from pulling out "Black Flame Devices" and also make the opponent's head feel heavy and feet feel light.

"D-do I need to... output?" Sun Xiao Sheng clenched her fists nervously, looking like she didn't know what to do with her hands, and finally reached behind her head to tug at her braids.

It wasn't that she couldn't output, but that she didn't want to touch the Black Flame Demon.

Jiang Xiao comforted her in a timely manner: "I'll bless you, don't worry."

Since things had come to this, Sun Xiao Sheng had no choice but to bite the bullet.

This team had healing, auras, buffs, and control, but it lacked output.

Jiang Xiao's output was his own skills, the Xia Family Knife Technique, and the archery skills he had honed on the Northwest Front.

The few output star techniques in the team were Sun Xiao Sheng's Black Starfall.

Jiang Xiao had seen this star technique during the New Year. On Central Avenue in Jiangbin City, Shen Hao, a soldier of the Triumphant Army, used this star technique to continuously smash those ugly statues.

Although it was called Black Starfall, it was just the black star encased inside. The outside was shimmering with light and was still blue-white in color.

This was also a special attribute of this type of star technique.

Including the White Starfall with healing effects and the Blue Starfall that restored star power, all had different internal colors, but the outside was shimmering with blue-white light.

In other words, when your opponent was hit by a Starfall-type star technique, it was difficult to tell whether the enemy was healing or restoring star power, or even if the enemy was fighting among themselves...

Starfall-type star techniques mainly came from Zhongyuan Province, and a small number were also produced in Yanzhao Province. Most were of Silver quality, and occasionally there were Gold-quality hard control Gray Starfalls, etc.

Because this star technique had a very good recovery effect, awakeners in surrounding provinces were also willing to absorb this type of star technique.

For example, Sun Xiao Sheng from the Imperial Capital, and Cai Yao from Jinmen, both learned auxiliary Starfall-type star techniques from neighboring Zhongyuan Province and Yanzhao Province.

On the other hand, Le Yue, who was from Zhongyuan Province, learned from Zhong Ling and Cheng Yin from Beijiang Province...

Jiang Xiao and the others climbed upwards step by step, but the Black Flame Demon only trembled slightly, standing still on the summit, looking down at the crowd.

Like a high-ranking king looking at his subjects.

This Black Flame Demon was about 1.8 meters tall, humanoid, and its entire body was gray-black, with cracks on its skin.

Its limbs were extremely slender, and its hands hung down naturally, almost reaching its knees. Its long legs were covered with bulging muscles, full of explosive power.

The Black Flame Demon's gray-black figure blended well into the Black Rock Mountains.

And there were three extremely obvious features all over its body, which even made people feel horrified.

First, on its gray-black face, its eyes were not normal eyes, but two faint, burning, jet-black flames.

Second, at its chest, the heart was actually a ball of raging black flames!

The existence of this creature was an eye-opener for everyone. This scene was like a normal human being whose chest had been hollowed out, but had not died. Instead, a black fire was burning in the empty space.

Third, it was its terrifying and distorted face!

Jiang Xiao asked, "How is it, Xiao Sheng?"

Sun Xiao Sheng said uncertainly, "About there, I think the Black Starfall should hit."

Jiang Xiao's tone was extremely serious: "I don't want ambiguity, I want accurate information, can it or can't it."

Sun Xiao Sheng stared with aggrieved big eyes, looking at the black king on the top of the mountain, and said: "A little closer, a little closer... Ah! It ran away!?"

Before Sun Xiao Sheng finished speaking, the Black Flame Demon's figure, with black flames burning in its chest, flashed and disappeared into the black rocks.

Jiang Xiao's face was a little ugly. Whether it was a Gold-rank Black Flame Ghost or a Gold-rank Black Flame Demon, they were both extremely powerful hunters.

This kind of creature possessed a certain amount of intelligence, and had also developed hunting skills in the process of killing each other.

Jiang Xiao didn't think that the Black Flame Demon ran away because it was afraid. It should have had ideas about his team.

Jiang Xiao thought for a while, turned to look at Le Yue, and said, "Can you help me carry the backpack?"

Le Yue nodded without hesitation.

In his mind, Jiang Xiao was not only the captain but also the only fighting force.

Although Sun Xiao Sheng had combat star techniques, Le Yue did not trust her combat strength.

And to be honest, Le Yue believed that once Sun Xiao Sheng's Black Starfall hit the Black Flame Demon, Sun Xiao Sheng might lose her fighting ability in a short period of time.

Jiang Xiao took out a black small bow and a black arrow pot from his backpack.

He carried the black arrow pot on his back, and with a forceful flick of the black small bow, the two sides of the small bow extended outward, and a regular-sized black bow appeared in his hand.

This was a gift that Xia Yan gave him after returning home from the Northwest Front during the holiday. Jiang Xiao had never thought that he would use "high technology" one day.

If it was reasonable for Jiang Xiao to carry a knife, but now that he was carrying a bow and arrow, everyone, including the bald-headed Hu, was stunned.

It was confirmed!

This kid was a warrior who had infiltrated the support class!?

You don't study how to heal people or how to support, what are you doing dancing with knives and guns every day? How will you marry in the future, uh... how will you integrate into the team?

Jiang Xiao carried the knife on his back, drew an arrow, placed it on the bow, placed it under his body, and climbed up: "Le Yue, inform me of the enemy's whereabouts as soon as possible, Xiao Sheng, put aside your identity as a support and your combat ideas, we need output."

The bald-headed Hu behind him also stopped playing around. He quietly followed behind the four of them, his eyes fixed on Jiang Xiao.

Suddenly, the bald-headed Hu seemed to feel something. He secretly turned his head and looked back, his face changed slightly.

Then, the bald-headed Hu quickly deviated from the route and disappeared to the side.

The crowd had just climbed for twenty seconds when they heard Le Yue roar: "Six o'clock! Six o'clock! Behind!"

Jiang Xiao was shocked and quickly turned around, but he saw a gray-black figure quickly approaching in the dark rock mountains, and the dark ghost fire was fluttering, which was extremely frightening!

Jiang Xiao pulled the bow and nocked an arrow. Under the influence of the accompanying action, the star technique had already been used!

Platinum Quality* Silence of the Void!

The ball of ghost fire was actually extinguished by the hit!

Everyone was stunned. Could the flames burning in the Black Flame Demon's chest be extinguished?

No, it didn't seem possible. The flickering ghost fire reignited, along with the Black Flame Demon's figure that was accelerating its climb again.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Arrows were shot out one after another, covered with dense star power, like shooting stars chasing the moon, extremely fast!

"Hiss..." A painful hiss came from the Black Flame Demon's mouth. The arrows had deeply pierced into its thick claws.

"Damn it." Unexpectedly, it wasn't the injured Black Flame Demon who cursed, but Jiang Xiao, who was attacking!

Jiang Xiao's eyes felt a burst of stinging pain, and the intense pain was accompanied by a burning pain.

His face instantly turned pale, his expression was extremely ugly, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead!

Jiang Xiao's chest heaved violently, he gasped for breath, and quickly added a Bronze Blessing to himself.

The Bitterness of Black Rock Mountain was indeed well-deserved!

And the Black Flame Demon on the other side was a different scene.

It had no way to deal with the star power disorder caused by Silence of the Void, so it could only speed up and try to get close to hunt sooner.

But the Black Flame Demon was not greatly affected by the pain caused by Silence of the Void!

The effectiveness of Platinum Silence was beyond doubt.

It could make the star power of all targets in the area restless and disordered. Because of this, the target would suffer heavy blows, pain, weakness, vomiting blood, and even death!

But what was the Black Flame Demon's reaction? It was slowed down and staggered by Silence, but it quickly adjusted its posture, changing from upright walking to climbing on all fours.

The body that was hit and swayed was stabilized, and the suddenly decreased speed was increased again!

From beginning to end, the Black Flame Demon's face had not changed.

Whether it was before or after being hit by Silence, or before or after its claws were pierced by arrows, its gray-black face had always been so distorted and hideous.

Whether it was physical pain, mental pain, or even the violent disorder of star power in its body, it was just normal for it.

From the moment it was born,

From the moment it was dug out of its eyes and stabbed through its chest by its so-called mother, and ghost fires were lit in its eye sockets and heart,

It was constantly suffering the torment of pain.

The Black Flame Demon had a passive star technique:

Black Flame Fear: When attacked, it shares the pain and torment of the black flame with the attacker.

The Bitterness of Black Rock Mountain also came from this.
