Chapter 4200 Four Thousand Two Hundred Words

In the meeting room, Er Wei quietly looked at Hou Mingming. Although her face was expressionless, Jiang Xiao, who knew her well, was sure that she was very satisfied with Hou Mingming's answer.

After a long while, Er Wei said, "Jiu Wei and I will temporarily be your teammates. The task for this assessment is to destroy the Holy Ruins. I want to see your ability to attack fortresses."

Destroy the Holy Ruins? Attack a fortress?

Perhaps for these two people, this was nothing like an "attack."

"Go back and rest. Gather at the gate of the military camp at 9:00 PM," Er Wei said as she stood up directly.

Jiang Xiao also stood up, but found that Er Wei's hands were pressed on the conference table, her body leaning forward, her eyes scanning back and forth between the two of them, her voice hoarse and extremely stern: "No matter what thoughts you have in your hearts, this is my team. Obeying orders is your bounden duty."

A hint of red star power flashed across Sun Dasheng's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. He silently looked at Er Wei, stood up, and said in a firm and powerful voice, "Yes!"

Hou Mingming also stood up and watched Er Wei and Jiang Xiao leave. In her heart, she was thinking about what Jiang Xiao had said to her in Neon: I have a friend with a bad voice who can turn you into a well-behaved kitten.

Hou Mingming had to admit that this commander's aura was indeed a bit strong. If it were some lower-level or less strong-willed people, they would easily be defeated in a few encounters.

After the two Light Chasing officers left, Sun Dasheng and Hou Mingming ignored each other and quickly left. It was already afternoon, and if the mission started at 9:00 PM, they should indeed prepare in advance.

Er Wei didn't take Jiang Xiao out of the building, but went directly to the third floor and entered an office.

Jiang Xiao curiously looked around the bright and clean office. There was a green plant in the corner reaching the ceiling, bringing a hint of coolness to the hot summer. He couldn't help but wonder, "You have an office now?"

Er Wei nodded and said, "Yes, but not here. This is borrowed."

With that, Er Wei sat behind the desk, opened the drawer, took out a folder, and threw it on the table, saying, "Sun Dasheng."

"Oh." Jiang Xiao stepped forward, picked up the information, and flipped through it.

Before the mission, knowing the teammates' star techniques and characteristics was a required course. Jiang Xiao certainly knew Hou Mingming's style and characteristics, as well as her star technique combinations, so Er Wei only gave Jiang Xiao information about Sun Dasheng.

And this Sun Dasheng... this list of star techniques showed very distinct regional characteristics!

If you observed carefully, you could even see his life trajectory.

The first few star techniques were all star techniques of the northern agile warrior type, common, but with extraordinary effects.

Mang Han comes from Middle Ji, Mang Han comes from the Armory!

Fangs, Abomination, Heavy Blow, Frenzy, and Star Power Body all came from the Armory. Jiang Xiao also had reason to believe that the useless bronze star technique, Fangs, should have been the price of absorbing Abomination.

Flame Arc and Flame Cleave came from the Volcano Other Dimension Space, while Perception, Agility, Sharpness, and War Cry undoubtedly came from the starry sky of Da Meng Province.

The first ten star techniques were still from the Northeast region, and from then on, the star techniques around the Imperial Capital City began, which he should have acquired during his university years.

Flame Fire, Flame Fire Resistance, and the Lava series of star techniques were obviously from the Imperial Capital's overlord-level Other Dimension Space, the Flame Tribunal.

It seemed that Dasheng also had a special liking for the Shadow series of star techniques, or perhaps this series of star techniques was indeed very powerful, and every agile warrior would love it. Shadow Summon, Shadow Transformation, and As Shadow Follows, all three were present.

Sun Dasheng's advanced type of star technique was very interesting. Jiang Xiao actually saw "Giant Spirit Strike"?

This big stick coming down was quite impressive, wasn't it?

However... Jiang Xiao looked carefully at Sun Dasheng's star techniques. It was fierce, but if it wasn't a battle with someone, but simply destroying the Holy Ruins, Sun Dasheng seemed to have a hard time winning against Hou Mingming?

Hou Mingming, as a powerhouse of damage output, was definitely not afraid of anyone in a race.

Unless Dasheng transformed into a star weapon, everyone's star chart was different, and Jiang Xiao didn't know the specific effects of Dasheng's star chart.

While Jiang Xiao was looking at Sun Dasheng's information, he said, "I've found someone."

Er Wei: "Hmm?"

Jiang Xiao threw the information paper on the table, pulled up a chair, sat opposite the desk, looked at Er Wei, and repeated his words, "I've found someone."

Er Wei reacted quickly, her eyes narrowed slightly. Found them?

Of course, Er Wei had full confidence that there were people surviving in the upper dimension. Those soldiers' strength was there, so it was very likely that they had survived.

What could really prevent the soldiers from surviving was not the issue of strength, but the issue of mentality. Anyone who survived in that isolated prison would inevitably have a heart full of holes.

So, what really surprised Er Wei was that Jiang Xiao had actually found them?

Er Wei said, "It's safe here."

Jiang Xiao sighed deeply and said, "A couple, Hu Wei and Cang Lan, they also have a 3 or 4-year-old child, a boy, very cute."

Er Wei silently looked at Jiang Xiao. When she heard "child," her stiff expression eased slightly.

Jiang Xiao smiled helplessly and said, "As for why it's 3 or 4 years old, it's because his parents don't know how long it's been. There, they have no concept of time and no reference objects."

Er Wei leaned back slightly, leaning on the back of the chair, crossed her arms, and silently looked at Jiang Xiao.

From her body language, Jiang Xiao saw a signal of resistance, which was obviously a defensive posture, of course, defending not against Jiang Xiao's attack, but against the impact that Jiang Xiao's words brought to her.

Er Wei: "Where are they?"

Jiang Xiao spread out his hands helplessly: "The scenery everywhere is the same snowfield, there are no reference objects, there is nothing, I don't know where I am."

Er Wei silently nodded: "This is one of the reasons why the country prohibits going to the upper levels for rescue. Those who go will never come out again."

Jiang Xiao shook his head helplessly: "All I can do is talk to them about what has happened in the past few years, play with the child. The child likes One-Eyed Crows very much. I always transform into crows to play with him. Maybe... he hasn't seen many creatures since he was born."

Er Wei sat in a swivel chair, rotating slightly, looking out the window, her eyes widening: "Parents, White Ghoul Witch, White Ghoul, only these kinds of creatures exist in his life."

Jiang Xiao: "Yeah..."

Er Wei: "What's his name?"

Jiang Xiao said: "Hu Xueyuan, nickname Yuanyuan." (meaning round)

"Hu Xueyuan..." Er Wei whispered the name, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. The couple's hearts were strong enough to give their child such a name.

After a long while, Er Wei said, "Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault."

Jiang Xiao: "Yeah..."

Er Wei turned around, her elbows on the desk, leaning forward, and said, "The country knows very well, we all know very well, there are figures of our soldiers in the upper dimensions of countless Other Dimension Spaces, but we have tried various methods, and finally we can only admit defeat, we can't do anything."

Looking at Jiang Xiao's silent appearance, Er Wei continued, "Like the Flame Tribunal incident you personally experienced, those 29 soldiers who were permanently lost. We did destroy the Holy Ruins and closed the Other Dimension gate opened on Earth, but was that space really destroyed? Are they still surviving in that Flame Tribunal? We cannot know, and we can't do anything."

Jiang Xiao also leaned forward, his elbows propped on the desk, looking directly at Er Wei: "I will play with Yuanyuan for a few more days, and then I will set off."

Er Wei: "Hmm?"

Jiang Xiao silently said, "I will find a way out, one year, three years, ten years, I will always find an exit."

Er Wei was silent and noncommittal about this.

The disappearance of soldiers in the upper dimension had existed decades ago. They hadn't returned for so long, and you wanted to find an exit...

Jiang Xiao said, "Just like I found their family of three in that endless snowfield, I believe I will find an exit."

Er Wei was still silent.

Jiang Xiao said, "If necessary, I can also die. Then restart the bait and enter the snowfield again. I will find the couple again. I will bring them some Star Beads and clocks, and I will bring Yuanyuan some toys and books."

Jiang Xiao's expression was serious and firm: "My life is still long, I have a lifetime to do this, and one day, I will take Yuanyuan home, back to this colorful world."

Er Wei didn't expect that Jiang Xiao would say such words. It turned out that he was not being impulsive, nor was he eager for quick success.

When he opened his mouth, it was for a lifetime.

Er Wei knew that he was a person who believed in promises and kept his word. Every choice he had made along the way, every achievement, was proving his faith time and time again.

Er Wei reached out and pressed it on the back of Jiang Xiao's hand, and squeezed it slightly: "Do it silently, don't tell them. Don't give them any hope, no matter how strong they appear, don't be the straw that breaks their back."

Jiang Xiao nodded: "I know."

Er Wei: "You have to know that for a long time, countless people flocked to the upper dimension, but decades have passed and there has been no result. I hope you can be calm. If you need anything, tell me."

Jiang Xiao nodded again.

Er Wei withdrew her body, leaned over, and opened the desk.

The little guy's skin was black and translucent, with white star power flowing through it. The little guy had white candle eyes, and white flames were burning on the top of its head.

Because the body was Q-elastic and smooth, its body was a little deformed when Er Wei picked it up.

Er Wei pressed the Black and White Candle Fire on the table with one hand, and said to Jiang Xiao: "I will not stop what you want to do, but I also have a request for you."

"Yeah." Jiang Xiao looked at the Black and White Candle Fire, motioning Er Wei to continue.

Er Wei said quite seriously: "Life must go on, life here is the most real, you have many unfinished careers, and there are many people who care about you, don't indulge in the 'Upper Dream'.

You are an optimistic and cheerful person, countless predecessors have created the current growth environment for you, and they all hope to see you grow up healthily and rise up, never be depressed."

Er Wei rarely said so much, and even repeated what she had just said: "Life must go on."

Jiang Xiao took the Black and White Candle Fire. The little guy escaped from the clutches of the Demon King, and no matter who the stranger in front of him was, he threw himself into Jiang Xiao's arms, looking wronged, and rubbed his face left and right.

"Don't worry, I won't..." Jiang Xiao's words stopped abruptly. The information from the Inner Star Map shocked Jiang Xiao.

"Golden Red Candle Fire Cub (Mutated Black and White, Bronze Level)

Has Star Techniques:

1. Impact: Charging straight. (Bronze quality, upgradeable)
2. Icy: Icy and cool. (Bronze quality, upgradeable)
3. Brightness: Candlelight brightness. (Bronze quality, upgradeable)
4. Reliance: The clinging characteristics of the Candle Fire clan are brought to the extreme. It can be fused into one with another Other Dimension Star Beast and live together. (Unknown quality, exclusive to mutated Candle Fire, non-upgradeable)

Note: There is a certain probability of failure during the fusion process, resulting in the death of both Other Dimension Star Beasts.

Do you want to tame it into a pet?"

My God...

Jiang Xiao looked dumbfounded at the Black and White Candle Fire acting spoiled in his arms, and a huge wave was set off in his heart.

The Candle Fire clan is indeed very clingy. They are very timid, very well-behaved, and relatively afraid of strangers, but once they find that the other party has no malice, even if they are a little bit nice to them, they will open their hearts and play happily with you.

A typical example is Junior Sister Yin Ni in Mount Er'Ye. A Star Power candy was sent out, and the Golden Red Candle Fire stayed in her arms and refused to leave.

Another example is the Mount Er'Ye incident.

Jiang Xiao and Er Wei cleared a dawn in that mountain forest. In that chaotic and noisy battlefield, after the Golden Red Candle Fire found that the target of the two was only the Golden Red Giant Insect, groups of Golden Red Candle Fire not only did not quickly escape from danger, but all gathered at the feet of the two, followed them, and moved forward shivering.

In life and death, true reliance is revealed!

Another example is now. Jiang Xiao's main body had never seen the Black and White Candle Fire. Jiu Wei, who was wearing a mask, brought the Black and White Candle Fire back, but after the Black and White Candle Fire escaped from Er Wei's clutches, it directly rushed into Jiang Xiao's arms.

Compared to being afraid of strangers, its clingy attribute is obviously better?

And Jiang Xiao's response was to gently rub its body, which made the Black and White Candle Fire act even more spoiled...

Jiang Xiao was very sure that ordinary Golden Red Candle Fire would never have the fourth star technique, otherwise, this "Reliance" star technique would have been researched long ago, there would have been a large number of fusion-type star pets, and there would definitely be introductions online.

And the information from the Inner Star Map was also very accurate. The Inner Star Map clearly stated that "Reliance" was an exclusive star technique for mutated Candle Fire.

This mutated little guy is a bit powerful, he has brought the characteristics to the extreme, and directly promoted the characteristics to mutated star techniques?

Unknown quality? Mutation Exclusive? Non-Upgradeable?

This is the real dignity...

But, why can it only fuse with Other Dimension Star Beasts? What about being clingy? Are you a "Clingy Star Beast"?

It would be great if you fused with me?

I'm not afraid of death!

Uh...wait.

Jiang Xiao scratched his head. It was indeed difficult for him to die, but if he was sanctioned by special attributes and directly judged as a fusion failure by the mutated star technique, and judged to be dead, he would be taken away in one wave...

Happy End?

Jiang Xiao couldn't help but shudder and picked up the Black and White Candle Fire in his arms.

"Ooh." The Black and White Candle Fire struggled slightly, its little feet swaying back and forth, still trying to lean into Jiang Xiao's arms...
