Gu Shi'an really turned into a cannonball. He strode forward, his legs full of explosive power, leaping heavily and even cracking the ground beneath him. His heavy body curled into a ball, diving straight into the underground cave...

In an instant, chaos erupted at the cave entrance.

Gu Shi'an and Xia Yan both knew that in this battle, they would likely remain unable to use their Star Techniques. With the enemy's Fallen Shadow Witch hidden in the shadows, Jiang Xiao was silently clearing the path.

In the team, who couldn't afford to be silenced?

Of course, it was the explosive damage dealer - Han Jiangxue!

Apart from Han Jiangxue, the other three little guys could be silenced at will. They could just resort to close combat.

But Han Jiangxue was the tactical core of the team. Her ability to use Star Techniques, or lack thereof, would completely transform the team.

At this moment, Han Jiangxue was covered in a dark red, translucent "eggshell," the Flame Shield.

She waved her hands repeatedly, wielding Barren Wind in her left hand to assist the two combat-oriented members clearing the path, and summoning Flame Puppets in her right. In just 20 seconds, the original four-person team had become a mighty army...

Gu Shi'an already possessed the Body of Steel. His sandbag-sized fists slammed heavily against the onrushing Fallen Shadow Warriors time and time again.

Xia Yan's steel greatsword, reflecting the light of the flames, gleamed with an eerie light, cleaving through the enemies before her.

Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue hung back in the rear, both acting as support. One activated the Cherished Halo, while the other used Barren Wind and hurled Ice Roars into the deeper, more distant tunnels.

"Gu Shi'an! Tell me the moment you spot someone!" Han Jiangxue commanded loudly.

Helpless, Han Jiangxue knew the power of her Ice Roar. This wasn't the Gold-ranked Ice Roar from the Liaodong Ice Cave, but the Platinum-ranked Ice Roar from the Northwest Snow Mountain Domain. If it were to hit one of their own, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Even Gu Shi'an, with his Body of Steel, probably couldn't withstand a few Ice Roars. Only her own mischievous little brother could endure her wrath.

Although Gu Shi'an received Han Jiangxue's order, he couldn't speak under the effects of Silence...

Fortunately, the Dark Ant Sense Star Technique, like Perception Star Techniques, directly enhanced his own qualities and was a type of passive Star Technique. It didn't need to be actively activated; otherwise, Gu Shi'an would become "blind."

In fact, Gu Shi'an was already blind, because his Double Pupil Star Technique required active activation, meaning he currently lacked night vision.

Fortunately, Han Jiangxue had summoned a large army of Flame Puppets, illuminating the path ahead for everyone.

In the midst of this chaotic battle, Jiang Xiao actually saw a Fallen Shadow Witch blocked in a corner by the Flame Puppets, being burned mercilessly.

The pitiful Fallen Shadow Witch couldn't use any of its Star Techniques. The Grudge was also an active skill, and Silence's Voice, Reverse Current Light, and other Star Techniques were unusable within Jiang Xiao's Silence Domain.

Therefore, the arrogant Fallen Shadow Witch could only allow itself to be bullied by the Flame Puppets...

Yes, the Flame Puppets were also within the Silence Domain. Although they couldn't shoot flames, they themselves were made of fire.

At this moment, the Flame Puppets were hugging the Fallen Shadow Witch, burning it frantically in the corner.

And the Fallen Shadow Witch sadly discovered that it wasn't even as strong as the Flame Puppets.

So...

The Fallen Shadow Witch was burned up close, burned face-to-face, burned while being hugged, and even burned while being lifted high...

A Gold-ranked Fallen Shadow Witch was actually being humiliated by a summoned creature in every possible way. If it were Jiang Xiao, he would have committed suicide out of shame!

Wasn't this too embarrassing?

But honestly, the Flame Puppets were also Gold-ranked summoned creatures, so, this scene, uh... was acceptable, I guess.

Let me lend you a hand!

If Gold-rank strength wasn't enough, wouldn't Platinum-rank do?

Jiang Xiao seized the opportunity and threw out a Reverse Current Light.

He and Han Jiangxue had been hanging back at the rear of the team, outside the Silence Domain, to ensure they could use their Star Techniques.

After all, the Silence Domain prohibited Star Warriors within its range from using Star Techniques, not from having Star Techniques appear within its range.

The Reverse Current Light accurately landed on the Fallen Shadow Witch.

Honestly, if the Fallen Shadow Witch hadn't been lifted high by the huge Flame Puppets, Jiang Xiao might not have been able to hit it with the Reverse Current Light...

This Reverse Current Light immediately caught Xia Yan's attention. She saw the trembling Fallen Shadow Witch out of the corner of her eye, but to be honest, the Fallen Shadow Witch had been trembling all along.

Why?

It was hot!

Fucking hot!

Try being burned face-to-face and lifted high by a Flame Puppet!

Xia Yan immediately and consciously charged towards the Fallen Shadow Witch, determined to ensure that the moment it evolved, her greatsword would pierce its head.

This was a silent battle.

Extremely bizarre!

Within the Silence Domain, there were only the sounds of weapons, fists, and claws tearing flesh, only the crackling sounds of the Flame Puppets burning, but not a single roar. No creature could utter a single word. Even the guttural sounds were brief and indistinct.

It was a brand new experience...

"Hiss..." Suddenly, several Fallen Shadow Warriors cried out. In this silent and eerie tunnel, the sound seemed so abrupt!

Clearly, the Silence Domain's duration in that area had ended.

Jiang Xiao abruptly raised his hand, *Bang!*

Silence struck again, and the Fallen Shadow Warriors instantly went silent.

Jiang Xiao waved his hand and shouted, "Silence!!!"

Everyone: "..."

The group continued downwards, advancing cautiously. Although they didn't count the number of enemies, after the tunnel was completely stained with dark blood, the corpses on the ground must have numbered in the hundreds.

What kind of scale was this group?

There were as many as five Fallen Shadow Witches! Unfortunately, Jiang Xiao only managed to deal with three of them. The other two died before they could advance.

The Flame Puppets were ridiculously strong. They couldn't shoot flames or explode, but they could really burn!

Don't underestimate the Flame Puppets. Although there were hundreds of Fallen Shadow Warriors, the number of Flame Puppets wasn't far behind. Han Jiangxue had simply summoned a Burning Legion!

At this moment, Han Jiangxue's set of Star Techniques was extremely well-matched, and she could contribute to the team in various situations.

Once Han Jiangxue reached the Star Sea stage and had eight more available Star Slots, with some minor adjustments to the edges, she would truly become a Goddess of Magic.

Even more terrifying was that after this large Fallen Shadow species group was wiped out, the group didn't see any signs of the human team.

Had an accident happened?

Did other teams come to rescue this lost team, only to lose their own lives in the process?

As the battle ended and the Silence Domain dissipated, Xia Yan and Gu Shi'an took deep breaths, not caring whether the thick, bloody smell was pungent or not. Their bodies had been silenced, but it felt as if they had been suffocating.

Xia Yan: "I've had enough! Damn... Silence, suffocating... me... cough cough."

This was probably the first time Xia Yan had referred to herself as "this old woman," but before she could finish, she coughed.

The violently surging Star Power within her was too uncomfortable. She had been on the verge of collapse. After all, Jiang Xiao's Silence's Voice was Platinum-ranked, which not only caused her Star Power to surge, but also inflicted physical damage on her.

However, the Cherished Halo added to her feet was constantly absorbing the enemy's Star Power and vitality, which also led to her and Gu Shi'an being in full condition, so... Xia Yan was really about to have a mental breakdown.

The sensation in her body and her body's true state were very contradictory. She really didn't know how to describe her current situation.

Han Jiangxue hurriedly ordered, "Don't stop! Charge in!"

The quartet continued forward, with Han Jiangxue constantly summoning Flame Little Puppets.

"Eeya ya~" One after another, disobedient little cute pets howled joyfully, but their happy time quickly ended. Under the command of the Flame Puppets, they obediently searched everywhere, picking up Star Beads.

After finding the Star Beads, the Flame Little Puppets held them on their heads and hopped after the team that had long disappeared.

Han Jiangxue was meticulous. Every so often, she would leave a Flame Puppet as a guide and supervisor, directing this group of hopping Flame Little Puppets to take the correct path and follow the four-person team.

...

The four-person team's rescue mission continued, while deep in the cave, an extremely tragic battle was taking place.

"Xi Yue! Go! Hurry!" A burly man in a Guardian Army uniform said in a muffled voice, grabbing the arm of a delicate female soldier with his fan-like hand and pulling her back forcefully.

Making the scene even more bizarre was that the petite female soldier remained motionless under the burly man's pull...

The burly man couldn't help but roar again, "Zhang Xi Yue!!!"

The female soldier named Zhang Xi Yue's face was full of unwillingness, and she whispered, "Oh, Su Ming, Wu Yi..."

And not far in front of her stood six soldiers.

But these six soldiers... were clearly not in a normal state.

Their complexions were gray and their expressions were stiff. What should have been human eyeballs had now turned into eerie white flames.

Leading them was the soldier called "Su Ming." He held a long sword in his hand, and even with his stiff expression and ghostly flames in his eyes, one could still vaguely discern the style of ancient Chinese martial arts.

"Zheng Zhong!" A male voice came from behind the two, revealing a male soldier with a "Cauldron" Star Diagram floating above him. In front of the burly man Zheng Zhong and the female soldier Zhang Xi Yue, a bronze-colored square shield was blocking the front line.

This was the only Star Sea stage combatant in this battlefield, and the rescue team's captain: Tong Yunhai.

Tong Yunhai's expression was slightly strained as he shouted angrily, "Control your soldiers!"

The burly man Zheng Zhong couldn't take it anymore either, and directly performed an "uprooting the willow tree," forcibly lifting the Zhang Xi Yue, who was rooted to the ground, onto his shoulders.

*Bang!*

Zheng Zhong had just taken one step when a deep footprint appeared under his feet.

Although Zheng Zhong was tall, strong, and powerful, simply taking a normal step forward wouldn't cause the ground to collapse.

The reason for all of this was the super-heavy female soldier on his shoulders...

Zhang Xi Yue's voice was very soft, so soft it was heartbreaking, "I can save them, I can save them..."

"They're already dead!" Zheng Zhong shouted, carrying Zhang Xi Yue all the way back to their own camp, running outward, his sorrowful roar echoing in the underground tunnel, "Al! Rea! Dy! Dead!"

...

A first group of people is full, add group two, and if it's full add group three ya. If you don't, you can't enter, Group Three number.
