Chapter 249 Forest of Tears and Rain, Saintly Ruins Edge

In the Forest of Tears and Rain, on the edge of the Saintly Ruins, Jiang Xiao was full of enthusiasm. While fantasizing about the imminent graduation of his Tearful Rain series of three-star skills, he diligently searched for Tear Spirits.

Just as the quality of his Tearful Rain three-star skill reached Diamond Level 5, Jiang Xiao's body stiffened slightly.

Someone's coming!

Jiang Xiao keenly noticed that one of the soldiers was also crying; he should also possess the Domain Tear star technique.

Without a doubt, the Diamond-level Domain Tear had a much larger range of rain than the Platinum or Gold levels.

Therefore, Jiang Xiao discovered them, while they had not yet noticed Jiang Xiao.

According to the route of this squad... Jiang Xiao sighed inwardly. Oh well, he would just have to work harder next time; he was going to be stationed in Ba Min Province for a long time anyway.

Jiang Xiao swallowed two more Tear Spirits, took two Platinum-quality Tear Spirit star beads, and then his body suddenly flashed.

"Eh!" Jiang Xiao abruptly appeared not far in front of the group, maintaining a proper distance and ensuring that his body appeared directly in front of them.

The wasteland reclamation army was not to be trifled with, especially the wasteland reclamation squads entering the Forest of Tears and Rain to destroy the Saintly Ruins.

If Jiang Xiao had appeared behind them, it could have caused some unnecessary trouble.

Even though Jiang Xiao appeared openly before them, the four-person squad reacted immediately, the atmosphere becoming tense and fraught with the possibility of battle.

There was nothing they could do; it was too dangerous here, and everyone's hearts were on edge, which was unavoidable.

"I've been looking for a long time, finally found someone. My invisible earpiece is damaged, and I can't contact the others." Jiang Xiao, soaked to the bone, wiped his face and continued, "Oh, right, I found the Saintly Ruins, notify the other teams. I'm going to destroy the Saintly Ruins, tell them to quickly return to the spatial gate and return to Earth."

"Jiang Xiaopi!?" A middle-aged man in his forties paused, looking at Jiang Xiao rubbing his eyes, and couldn't help but ask, "Where are your teammates?"

Jiang Xiao waved his hand, "They went to explore other places. Let's talk business first, I'm going to destroy this place, is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

The squad members exchanged glances and hurriedly contacted the various teams inside the space, while the soldiers guarding the communication equipment at the spatial gate also hurriedly helped to recall the teams after receiving the message.

Unexpectedly, but also logically, Han Jiangxue's team was the first to "return to the city." The moment they received the message, a Black Void Teleportation Cover was already propped up in front of the spatial gate...

Here, the middle-aged man said, "Where are the Saintly Ruins? We'll help you."

"No need, no need." Jiang Xiao hurriedly waved his hand, "You guys should go back quickly too. I have Teleport, I'm fast, you can't keep up with me."

At the same time, the voice of a soldier's command came from the invisible earpiece: "Some teams are far from the spatial gate. Destruction of the Saintly Ruins will begin in 5 minutes. Countdown, starting now."

The few people looked at each other and nodded.

Under normal circumstances, after the Saintly Ruins were destroyed, there were still several small space-time tunnels connecting the upper and lower dimensions. After the space-time tunnels completely cut off contact, the lower dimension would completely disappear. The process of the Saintly Ruins collapsing took about 30 minutes.

Adding the five minutes left, it should be enough for the other wasteland reclamation squads to return to Earth.

Seeing that the squad in front of him had not left, Jiang Xiao didn't say anything, found a tree, sat down, and a white light of Blessing lit up on one of his hands, which he pressed to his forehead, trying to make himself as comfortable as possible.

The middle-aged man spoke again, "Going together to destroy the Saintly Ruins should be more certain."

"Ah?" Jiang Xiao looked up in a daze, and after a few seconds, he came back to his senses and said, "Have you guys destroyed the Saintly Ruins in the Forest of Tears and Rain before?"

The man nodded solemnly.

Jiang Xiao said, "Then you know even better what it's like there. Safety first. You can rest assured with me."

"This..."

Three minutes later, Jiang Xiao's body disappeared in a flash, but the squad did not leave.

One of the soldiers said, "Captain?"

The man glanced at his watch and said thoughtfully, "Let's wait for him for a moment. He gave himself two minutes, so let's wait for these two minutes."

Over there, Jiang Xiao's body flashed rapidly, arriving at the edge of the mist, and directly summoned Tears of Injury, pouring rain madly into the mist.

The imagined scene became a reality. Jiang Xiao stood outside the range of Tears of Injury, letting out all kinds of wails from the mist.

With the Fondness Halo under his feet, he quickly recovered his star power. The Diamond-quality Fondness could also absorb star power or life force separately.

As the star techniques were upgraded, the operability was greater, and Jiang Xiao's strength was indeed steadily improving.

Tears of Injury and Fondness gave Jiang Xiao inexhaustible star power resources and also cleared the area.

Jiang Xiao timed it, flashed in, and with Diamond Tears of Injury in the lead, most of the Tear Demons gave up resisting and no longer used the Mist Tear star technique. Through the perceptual information transmitted back by the Domain Tear, Jiang Xiao vaguely found the right location.

Whoosh!

Jiang Xiao flashed, directly arriving above the Saintly Ruins gate.

In the next moment, countless water droplets appeared around Jiang Xiao's body and quickly converged into a water ball.

Ignoring the creatures falling out of the Saintly Ruins gate, Jiang Xiao stretched out his right hand and clenched his fist suddenly.

And at the Saintly Ruins gate under Jiang Xiao's feet, the star power water ball exploded instantly!

Bang!

Water splashed everywhere. On the surface, it didn't seem to cause much damage, but the water ball contained a thick concentration of star power!

This was the Domain Tear Domain!

In this five-meter-diameter water ball, only four words could describe Jiang Xiao: doing as he pleased!

Under the violent star power explosion, the Saintly Ruins spatial gate trembled unstably.

"I thought I would need an Endearing Bear to accomplish all of this. Now it seems that the Domain Tear Domain provides me with a way to release and explode star power." Jiang Xiao thought, flipping his palm, and another "water mine" formed again, and Jiang Xiao's palm clenched into a fist again!

Bang! The star power water ball exploded again!

Rumble...

In the next moment, the entire space shook!

The earth trembled, and the rain swayed...

In the far distance, the middle-aged man's body swayed slightly with the shaking of the earth. He nodded and sighed softly, "A well-deserved reputation."

"You haven't left yet?" Not far in front of the crowd, Jiang Xiao's figure appeared again.

Jiang Xiao's distance control was good, and he ensured that he appeared directly in front of several wasteland reclamation soldiers.

Details! Everything was details!

The middle-aged man nodded secretly in his heart: knowing when to advance and when to retreat, worthy of the identity of a Wasteland Reclamation Volunteer Corps member. After all, they were specially recruited members.

Strictly speaking, for social figures like Jiang Xiao, the so-called Volunteer Corps members, the wasteland reclamation army's review of them and the requirements for their strength were even stricter.

The wasteland reclamation army was full of talented people. Why would they recruit social figures as foreign aid? The reason was simple.

Jiang Xiao: "Let's go quickly."

One of the soldiers spread his hands, and a gust of wind swept through, and the group of five flew up.

Jiang Xiao, who was already soaked, shivered in the strong wind.

Endurance was indeed Diamond Great Endurance, but being cold was not delayed at all.

Jiang Xiao said, shivering and chattering his teeth, "Since...you...can fly, I'll...go first."

As he said that, Jiang Xiao's body disappeared in a flash...

...

Jiang Xiao, who reunited with the other three members of the squad, had successfully completed the mission.

Since then, they had once again started their standby career, but not in Minxi City, but had returned to Ludao City again. After all, the opening locations of the Forest of Tears and Rain were mostly around Ludao.

What Jiang Xiao never expected was that the situation would take a turn for the worse.

It wasn't that the Forest of Tears and Rain was opening crazily in Ba Min Province, but rather that the frequency of the Forest of Tears and Rain opening was really a bit low.

From July 9th to September 3rd.

Not counting today's mission, in the nearly two months that Jiang Xiao and others had been stationed to help, they had only received four missions to destroy the Forest of Tears and Rain.

The first time was still in Minxi City, and Jiang Xiao and others had to rush over again, but before Jiang Xiao and others could find the Saintly Ruins, they were preempted by another wasteland reclamation army team.

Jiang Xiao painfully summed up his experience. Seeing this trend, he asked Han Jiangxue to contact the Minxi City wasteland reclamation army, and everyone directly stationed themselves here. However, the second time, the Forest of Tears and Rain opened in Ludao City again. Jiang Xiao was unhappy at the time...

Was it playing with people?

Since the squad was stationed in the military camp, they arrived in time. This time, it was Han Jiangxue's three-person squad that destroyed the Saintly Ruins.

Jiang Xiao was just chipping away at it in the Forest of Tears and Rain, and his Tearful Rain three-star skill was still stuck at Diamond Level 5.

Jiang Xiao and others also changed their position again and returned to Ludao to be stationed.

The third time, the Forest of Tears and Rain finally opened around Ludao. Jiang Xiao originally wanted to show off his skills, but among the wasteland reclamation army in Ludao, there was a squad that also had the Tearful Rain series of star techniques, and they found the Saintly Ruins so quickly. In less than 20 minutes, while Jiang Xiao was still worried, someone had already issued the "return to the city" order in the invisible earpiece.

Jiang Xiao was already confused. The time had already come to August 21st, and he was about to return to school in September. Was he unable to graduate this Tearful Rain series of star techniques?

Damn it! No way!

If I can't graduate this three-star skill, the three of you, Gu Shian, all have to stay here with me!

Who told us to be the team instructor...

And the fourth time the Forest of Tears and Rain opened, Jiang Xiao finally seized the opportunity.

On September 2nd, Jiang Xiao and others received the mission again and entered the Forest of Tears and Rain again. Jiang Xiao flashed and searched frantically, and finally found the Saintly Ruins first, and went all out to kill in all directions.

At this time when the students had already returned to school for a few days, Jiang Xiao's Tearful Rain series of three-star skills had finally successfully graduated, and all of them had reached Starry Sky quality.

In the inner vision star map, there were no more small levels behind the Starry Sky quality.

Verified!

Graduation!

Great!

In 55 days, a total of five Forests of Tears and Rain, three of which were destroyed by Jiang Xiao's team.

On average, a Forest of Tears and Rain opened every ten days or so. This frequency was indeed not high, and this average value had to include the day when Jiang Xiao and others first arrived, when they were lucky enough to receive a mission.

Jiang Xiao and others could finally return to school. In name, Jiang Xiao wanted an "excellent" rating, after all, destroying three other-dimensional Saintly Ruins could be rated as excellent.

On September 3rd, after Qin Wangchuan communicated with the local wasteland reclamation army, Jiang Xiao's team had successfully completed this stage of the mission and were approved to return to school.

Since the squad members were going to take a passenger plane, this night was the first time they had not lived in the military camp since they had been on a mission.

In the hotel, Jiang Xiao and Gu Shian were resting in the room when the door was knocked.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Gu Shian got up and opened the door, but saw Xia Yan standing at the door.

Xia Yan looked into the room and said, "Where's Xiaopi? His sister has something to talk to him about."

Gu Shian turned around and said, "Jiang Xiaopi."

"Ah." Jiang Xiao took the remote control, threw it aside, got up from the bed, put on his slippers, and walked out, "What's up?"

Xia Yan glared at Jiang Xiao angrily: "You haven't been in the Imperial Capital for a few days, and you've already learned to omit words. Come to my room, your sister has something to talk to you about."

Jiang Xiao: "Okay."

As soon as he arrived in the two girls' room, Jiang Xiao realized that something was wrong. Han Jiangxue's face did not show the joy of completing the mission, but was very solemn.

She was usually so cold, but there was a big difference between a solemn face and a poker face.

Jiang Xiao carefully came to the sofa and sat next to Han Jiangxue.

He thought about it again and moved his butt backwards to the other side, farther away from Han Jiangxue, and then asked, "What's wrong?"

Han Jiangxue: "Shadow of Calamity Ruins."

"Um..." Jiang Xiao stood up, looked up at the ceiling, and raised his hand to open the Shadow of Calamity Ruins.

The trio filed in, and the spatial gate instantly closed.

Han Jiangxue said, "We have been in the military camp, there are too many strong people, I can't ask you, what is the quality of your Tearful Rain series of star techniques?"

Jiang Xiao said, "I upgraded the quality, it's similar to that Earth Borer star technique, they have all graduated, and upgraded to the highest quality."

Xia Yan: !!!

Han Jiangxue's solemn face finally eased a little, and she showed a look of appreciation: "Very good."

Jiang Xiao was eager to please and hurriedly said, "It's all thanks to Little Jiangxue's brilliance, the 3-1 grouping, which allowed me to show my skills..."

"Um." Han Jiangxue responded casually, obviously her mind was not on this.

Jiang Xiao frowned slightly: "What exactly happened?"

Han Jiangxue said: "I want to take a break from school for a while."

Jiang Xiao: ???

Han Jiangxue said: "I feel like I'm about to break through the late stage of the Star River and enter the peak of the Star River."

Jiang Xiao scratched his head: "That's a good thing, what does it have to do with taking a break from school?"

Han Jiangxue: "The school's courses and the wasteland reclamation army's duty missions are disturbing my cultivation progress."

Jiang Xiao: "This..."

Han Jiangxue said softly: "Without your Shadow of Calamity Ruins, receiving education in the Imperial Capital Star Warrior University, and receiving training and guidance in the wasteland reclamation army, would be the highest quality growth path and environment I could have."

Jiang Xiao understood what Han Jiangxue meant, and his expression also became solemn.

Han Jiangxue: "Last semester, you went on a Night Watch mission, for more than a month, I spent more than a month less in the Shadow of Calamity Ruins cultivating. During these two months of standby time in Ba Min Province, we had to be stationed in the military camp, waiting for orders at any time, and I had nearly two months less of cultivation time."

Jiang Xiao: "That..."

Han Jiangxue continued without waiting for Jiang Xiao to finish: "A few days ago, my body reminded me that I was ready to break through to the peak of the Star River. This gave me a great shock."

Jiang Xiao: "How?"

Han Jiangxue: "I shouldn't have needed so much time. If I had been in the Shadow of Calamity Ruins, I might have entered the peak of the Star River one or two months ago."

Jiang Xiao's face was a little embarrassed. For him, there were not many "rights and wrongs" in this world.

Pure black and pure white were, after all, in the minority.

So,

Regardless of right or wrong, it was only a matter of choice.

Han Jiangxue looked straight at Jiang Xiao, her dark eyes full of determination.

Han Jiangxue said: "Your strength is getting stronger and stronger, and you have long been ready to go to the Dragon Cave. And I am the one holding you back."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiao sighed deeply.

You are only 20 years old, a sophomore, why put so much pressure on yourself.

Jiang Xiao's heart was a little complicated. From Han Jiangxue's words, Jiang Xiao could hear that her biggest pressure came from him.
