Yu
Chapter 457 Diamonds! Diamonds!
Two days later, inside the Holy Tomb.
The roars here never ceased, and the White Ghosts and White Ghost Witches surged towards the two people in the corner like a tide.
Although the Poisonous Milk King was like a small boat swaying in a raging storm, it sailed exceptionally steadily, never capsizing... uh, the boat.
"Azure Glow upgraded! Diamond quality Lv.0!"
"Endurance upgraded! Diamond quality Lv.0!"
Inside the inner star map, a message suddenly came.
Jiang Xiao had just absorbed a Silver-level White Ghost Star Bead, and his whole body stiffened.
Not because of the Diamond Azure Glow, but because of Diamond Endurance!
Jiang Xiao felt that his physical strength had improved by leaps and bounds. It was definitely not the silent, imperceptible type, but something he could clearly feel.
Immediately, he lit up the Big Dipper Star Chart.
Behind him, Er Wei's eyes narrowed. Immediately afterwards, a hint of expectation appeared on her eternally expressionless face.
A few seconds later, a hint of brilliance flashed in Er Wei's cold eyes, because she saw with her own eyes that the second platinum-colored star slot on the Big Dipper Star Chart suddenly lit up!
After a dazzling light, a brilliant diamond-quality star slot was born!
Er Wei bit her lip. As powerful as she was, she had never seen a diamond-colored star slot in her entire career!
So,
the color of the star slot was so crystal clear, and under the background of the star clouds, it was so radiant.
Just like the life that this young man was about to have.
Shining, brilliant.
Jiang Xiao's body was being torn apart by the swarming White Ghosts. Their sharp teeth and claws bit and tore at his body, but they could only tear his clothes, and could not break through his physical defenses at all.
His body was still made of flesh, but no matter how sharp the White Ghost's claws were, they could only leave faint scratches on his body.
Suddenly, Jiang Xiao moved.
He suddenly struggled, the movements were very small, but the White Ghosts who were biting him all flew out, like heavy cannonballs, and in a short time smashed back the surging tide of White Ghosts.
The scene was extremely spectacular.
And the damage suffered by the White Ghosts was much greater than imagined!
A brief open space appeared around Jiang Xiao, and finally having room to move, he covered his giant blade with Azure Glow and slashed down.
A White Ghost flew out with a "whoosh". Although it did not open a path in the monster wave, it also knocked down several White Ghosts, blocking the advancing steps of the large army behind.
And under the powerful repelling effect of this Azure Glow, what was hidden was a powerful striking effect.
The tough-skinned White Ghost, at the moment it was knocked away, the wound was terribly deep where the blade passed...
This was still the effect of the Azure Glow knocking it away, the effect caused by the tip of the knife in an instant. If the Azure Glow had no knockback effect, only a strong striking effect, Jiang Xiao's knife might have really split the White Ghost in half!
"Ha..." Jiang Xiao took a deep breath, the Affection halo under his feet flashed, and the giant blade waved continuously, and the star power was quickly replenished.
But these subsequent knives did not have the domineering effect of the Diamond-quality Azure Glow just now, but were more like the Gold-quality Azure Glow?
Could he even adjust the intensity of the Azure Glow?
It seemed that any star technique, when its quality was upgraded to a high enough level, the direction of evolution was "controllable effect."
Jiang Xiao directly opened the Calamity Shadow Territory, and the White Ghosts in front of him, who were not afraid of death and never knew fatigue, crashed into it.
This was his last "restock" before leaving the Snow Plains. From now on, the creatures inside the Calamity Shadow Territory would be hungry for a while.
Jiang Xiao stood back-to-back against the gate of the Calamity Shadow Territory, and looked at Er Wei from afar: "Let's go."
Er Wei kicked away the White Ghost coming head-on, her long legs tensed, and her body窜来over like a cheetah. She picked up Jiang Xiao's collar with one hand, stepped on the heads and shoulders of the White Ghosts, and ran out of the White Ghost group, carrying Jiang Xiao.
A few minutes later, she carried Jiang Xiao into the Night Watcher's tent.
The Night Watchers were used to this, got up and prepared to leave, giving the master and apprentice a space to be alone.
"We're leaving now, thank you." Jiang Xiao was thrown on the ground by Er Wei, and he hurriedly said.
The Night Watchers stopped, and pairs of eyes looked over.
Jiang Xiao was very humble and polite, clasping his fists at a few people, looking like he was paying New Year's greetings: "Thank you for your care these few weeks."
The Night Watchers looked at each other, and no one spoke.
With Commander Zhu Guang here, orders were like mountains, so how could they not take care of him?
Jiang Xiao picked up the blade and looked at Er Wei: "Let's go back."
"Mm." Er Wei nodded.
Under the night sky, in the biting cold wind, two figures, one large and one small, hurriedly left the Night Watcher's duty range.
On the way back, the two were silent until they encountered a lone White Ghost.
"Open your eyes wide." Jiang Xiao suddenly said, carrying the giant blade and rushing towards the lone White Ghost.
The White Ghost opened its scarlet eyes, and under the dark night, it was a bloodthirsty beast, howling and rushing towards Jiang Xiao.
The next moment,
the bloodthirsty beast turned into a whimpering kitten.
The wound on its chest was so deep that the bone could be seen, and it vomited blood, spraying and spreading all the way, flying out with a "whoosh".
Behind Jiang Xiao, Er Wei's hoarse voice also came: "48~52 meters."
Jiang Xiao looked at the dark figure from afar, and nodded excitedly.
This was the first time in so many days that an unusual light flashed in his eyes.
In the endless experience of training, he just mechanically drew and sheathed his sword, and his eyes had long lost their proper spirituality, and those eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, without any waves.
And now, Er Wei saw with her own eyes that Jiang Xiao was "alive" again.
"Let's go, it's time." Jiang Xiao carried the giant blade on his back, and turned to look at Er Wei.
Er Wei nodded almost imperceptibly, and the same words murmured in her heart: It's time.
From the snowy Snow Plains, back to the cold Beijiang, the two did not need any adaptation process, especially when the two came, it happened to be night, and Jiannan Village was not as brightly lit as the city, and you could still see pieces of stars in the sky.
The two quickly took a bath and changed clothes, and embarked on the way home.
It is worth mentioning that her car parked in the parking lot seemed to have some difficulty starting.
In the past two weeks, it had obviously snowed here, and someone had cleaned it, but no one had warmed up the car for her.
With the help of the soldiers, Jiang Xiao started the fire after a while, turned to look at Er Wei in the passenger seat, wanted to say something, but Er Wei was already asleep.
Yes,
in this ice and snow, in this cold car like an ice cellar, she slept so peacefully, her slightly wet long hair was a little frosty, and she still had a faint fragrance of shower gel on her body.
Jiang Xiao shook his head helplessly. After the car warmed up for a full 20 minutes, he dared to step on the accelerator.
Fortunately, it could be driven.
Unfortunately, he still drove himself.
Jiannan Village was very close to Jiangbin City, so the journey was not hard.
Jiang Xiao did not drive home directly, but went to the bath center where the two had gone before... the barbecue restaurant in the alley opposite.
Familiar and warm scenes can always heal people's hearts. Here, Jiang Xiao saw Aunt Yu dozing behind the counter again, and also saw the enthusiastic Uncle Yu.
Two grilled cod, twenty mutton skewers, a few chicken wings, chicken hearts, chicken gizzards, grilled sausages, grilled cakes, and a pound of xiaoshao to take away.
Under Aunt Yu's constant refusal, Jiang Xiao still threw down the money, quickly ran out of the bright little shop, ran through the dark alley, and returned to the car.
Interestingly, the sound of Jiang Xiao opening and closing the car door failed to wake up Er Wei, but when he started the car not long after, Er Wei, who was sleeping soundly in the passenger seat, suddenly moved her nose and slowly opened her eyes.
Jiang Xiao: "......"
She moved her stiff body, sat up, and stretched one hand to the convenience bag in front of the car.
Jiang Xiao said: "Can you bear with it a little bit? Let's eat at home."
Er Wei's hand holding the bag paused slightly, and then, as if she didn't hear Jiang Xiao's words, she picked up the bag and put it in her arms.
Jiang Xiao wanted to kick this gluttonous cat out!
Jiang Xiao saw her take out a grilled chicken wing from the corner of his eye. Smelling the tempting aroma, he couldn't help but said: "Let's drink some wine first, warm your stomach, then eat something."
Er Wei turned to look at Jiang Xiao, feeling that something was wrong with these words.
Then, she just stared at Jiang Xiao silently, eating the two chicken wings clean.
Very good!
Next, it was time to see who was faster!
Jiang Xiao stepped on the accelerator fiercely, and then quickly released it.
School was about to start, and it would be a big joke if he went to jail for a few more days.
When Jiang Xiao drove back to the Garden Community, Er Wei had already wiped out the food. At this time, she was stretching her arms, looking for facial tissues in the glove box.
Jiang Xiao was about to cry,
he hated Er Wei, and hated traffic jams even more.
Okay, maybe he hated Er Wei a little more.
This woman was too cruel, just sitting next to him, eating all the barbecue little by little...
Even if you fed me a mutton skewer, it would be okay!?
Jiang Xiao: "Can you be a person?"
Er Wei wiped her mouth, just put the paper in the convenience bag. Hearing these words, she looked down at the convenience bag, found some chicken wing bones, cod bones, and handed the convenience bag over.
Jiang Xiao: "......"
Jiang Xiao slowly parked the car, took the convenience bag and walked down, threw it into the trash can at random, and walked towards his unit building.
Behind him, Er Wei's huge figure swayed, holding a mineral water bottle in her hand, and occasionally raised her head to take a sip.
Jiang Xiao opened the unit door, leaned against the door, waiting for her to walk past him, sighing in his heart: Sure enough, he still couldn't escape the fate of ordering takeout.
I'm so stupid,
knowing that she can eat so much, why didn't I buy more just now.
In the elevator, Jiang Xiao finally heard her voice again: "Still hungry."
Jiang Xiao raised his head to look at Er Wei, and said resentfully: "Same here!"
Ding dong.
The elevator came to the 7th floor, Er Wei stepped out, took the key to open the door: "Order more, cod."
Jiang Xiao followed her into the house, stood in the living room, but helplessly put his hands on his hips, looking at the figure who went straight to the sofa and slumped on it. In the end, he silently walked back to the room, charged his phone, and turned it on.
He was still muttering in his mouth: "Takeout king."
Jiang Xiao ordered a lot, a lot, a lot. He planned to feed Er Wei, and if he couldn't finish it, he would send it to Xiao Xiao, anyway, it wouldn't be wasted.
An hour later, the takeout guy knocked on Jiang Xiao's door with four large convenience bags, the standard for a 20-person dinner.
It was from this moment that Er Wei, who was napping on the sofa, woke up again.
Next, there was a long, silent, and even faster-handed dining time.
After eating for a while, Jiang Xiao said: "Thank you."
"Mm." Er Wei gave a faint "Mm," with no reduction in speed. Her two fingers directly pinched the tail of the fish and took away the last cod.
And Jiang Xiao's chopsticks also fell empty,
Damn it,
the sneak attack failed.
Er Wei tilted her head and ate the fish, and her eyes also looked over.
Jiang Xiao then picked up a piece of grilled bread. Since he had already started the topic, he simply said: "This winter vacation, it's been a qualitative leap for my strength. Thanks to you."
Er Wei continued to eat the fish quietly, seemingly uninterested in Jiang Xiao's words.
"A body of platinum, and even two diamonds, without you, I don't know when I would be able to reach such a height." Jiang Xiao's expression was serious, his words were sincere, and he said, "Thank you."
Er Wei's mouth chewing the fish stopped slightly, and after a few seconds, her eyes looked at the barbecue below: "Too much talk."
Jiang Xiao: ???
Are you ungrateful? Or tsundere?
Seeming to feel that Jiang Xiao was a little resentful, she said: "Get a good ranking back."
Jiang Xiao tore off a piece of grilled bread fiercely. The honey smeared on it was very sweet, and under the effect of the food, it was difficult for him to use the evil dragon's roar again.
He just "Mm"ed, and before this half of the bread was finished, one hand pressed the other piece of bread.
Er Wei took out a tissue and wiped the corner of her mouth with a little sauce: "At least be worthy of the 29 times you died, and be worthy of the 29 heroic souls who passed away."
Jiang Xiao was stunned. He had explained the reason for participating in the competition to Er Wei, and he also said that being strong internally didn't count as ability, and he wanted a real story to show off.
But he had never said anything about the 29 soldiers. It was undeniable that it was an important reason that prompted him to participate in the competition.
Jiang Xiao: "How did you......"
Er Wei just removed Jiang Xiao's palm, picked up the bread he was protecting, put it into her mouth, and also tasted the taste of honey: "You are not a complicated person, on the contrary, you are very simple. I found out the situation, and it is not difficult to guess what you are thinking."
"Then... wait for my good news." Jiang Xiao said casually, taking advantage of Er Wei's carelessness, he snatched half of the cod from her plate and bit into it.
Er Wei chewed on the grilled bread and said, "That's the last half of the cod."
Jiang Xiao gestured at the grilled bread in her mouth and said, "That's the last piece of grilled bread."
The two stared at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly froze.
Chinese people,
pay attention to reciprocity.
Poisonous Milk King,
is to madly test and hesitate around the edge of courting death.
You really think that my diamond-level Great Endurance is prepared for the World Cup competition?
Hehe,
naive!
