Chapter 37 White Ghosts Roaming at Night
“Thanks.” Jiang Xiao said gratefully, looking at the corpse at his feet and sighing.
This White Ghoul Witch had a similar appearance to the White Ghouls, but was much thinner, like a bamboo pole. He wondered how its weak body survived in this harsh environment.
Its cheeks were pale, bloodless, and very old, truly like a mummy.
“Seven days, and we’ve encountered two White Ghoul Witches. We’re extremely lucky. After absorbing this Star Bead, are you confident in upgrading the 'Blessing' Star Technique to the Silver quality?” Han Jiangxue asked.
Jiang Xiao endured the pain and crushed the "200,000 Ocean," shaking his head gently. In the template, there was a slight change in the first and second Star Techniques in the second block.
1. Blessing, Bronze quality Lv.4.
2. Decoy, Bronze quality Lv.4.
Jiang Xiao still had 4 skill points that he could use to upgrade this Star Technique to Lv.8, but no matter how he calculated it, it was still a few small levels short.
“What’s that?” Jiang Xiao looked up at Han Jiangxue and suddenly saw a red smoke rising in the sky not far behind the girl.
In such a dim environment, normal red smoke would not be so noticeable.
However, the smoke was very bright, much like a firework.
“Someone is asking for help,” Han Jiangxue said, frowning as she turned her head.
“Should we go take a look?” Jiang Xiao asked.
Xia Yan explained to Jiang Xiao, “This signal flare isn’t really for us to see, but for the guardian teams here. As an Awakened, when you see this signal flare, the information you should get is not that someone is asking for help, but that a team is telling you that there is danger there, so please do not approach.”
“They are approaching us,” Han Jiangxue frowned, seeing a second signal flare, seemingly in the snow forest where the trio was!
The other party should be running away as fast as possible, and the direction they were choosing was northwest, which was the direction back to the city.
The opposing team was obviously deeper into the southeast route than Jiang Xiao's team. He wondered what kind of other-dimensional creature this team, which had such confidence, had encountered?
Besides White Ghouls, wasn’t it just White Ghoul Witches here?
Xia Yan said anxiously, "Let's go. If we don't leave, they'll be running right into us soon."
Han Jiangxue suddenly said, “The most powerful other-dimensional creature team in the snowfield is the White Ghoul army led by the White Ghoul Witch. This means that the other party is likely being chased by the White Ghoul Witch.”
Xia Yan was slightly stunned and said, "What do you mean?"
“He needs this,” Han Jiangxue gestured to Jiang Xiao beside her.
“Xuexue, are you really planning to play something exciting?” Xia Yan said with a serious expression.
Han Jiangxue ignored Xia Yan, directly opened the Spatial Coffin, reached in, pulled out the corpses of two White Ghouls, and emptied the Spatial Coffin.
“Oh dear, Jiang Xiaopi, am I usually good to you? Please, help me persuade your sister,” Xia Yan said anxiously, stomping her feet. In the distant deep forest, they could already hear the hissing of White Ghouls.
"Han Jiangxue, let's go," Jiang Xiao said quickly.
“You don’t seem to see the situation clearly. In the current situation, we can’t escape even if we run away with all our strength,” Han Jiangxue walked away quickly, leaving the snowy ground strewn with corpses. Helpless, the two had to follow.
After walking more than a hundred meters, not far from the battlefield, Han Jiangxue stopped and hid behind a big tree.
Slowly, the snow forest seemed to vibrate, as if thousands of troops were rushing over.
The three carefully hid behind the tree. In their sight, a dark figure was running, tumbling and crawling. When he crossed the mountains and ridges, seeking the hope of life, he suddenly saw a scene of blood flowing like a river.
Yes, in the vast snow forest, the Awakened who was running for his life saw the sea of blood and mountain of corpses left by Jiang Xiao's trio.
This was a male Awakened, who looked middle-aged. His face was full of fear. The moment he passed the battlefield, the experienced man grabbed a corpse lying on the ground.
The blood touched by his palm still had a trace of warmth. The desperate eyes of the Awakened suddenly burst out with a strong desire to survive. He shouted loudly, “Is anyone there? Is anyone nearby?”
The Awakened who was shouting for help didn’t stop. He didn’t dare to stop. Behind him, groups of White Ghouls were charging, with murderous intent.
"White Ghoul Witch cub! It can be a Star Pet! Save me, I'll give you everything, everything on me is yours!" The Awakened's voice was almost hoarse, so muffled, his voice trembling, so desperate, it was heartbreaking.
Jiang Xiao looked at Han Jiangxue beside him. He also saw the other side of Han Jiangxue.
To Jiang Xiao’s surprise, this 18-year-old girl was not moved by such a scene at all, and was not softened by a person’s weeping for help.
Her face was expressionless, seemingly without human emotions.
What kind of cold indifference would be hidden in the eyes behind those goggles?
The next moment, in the shaking snow forest, a group of White Ghouls finally rushed out.
When describing a large number of enemy troops rushing in, people often use the phrase "a dark mass" to describe it.
At this moment, in Jiang Xiao's sight, he saw "a white mass"...
A hundred ghosts walking at night!
No, it was White Ghouls walking at night!
Hundreds of White Ghouls were charging crazily, hissing angrily. In the snow forest, they were not moving in an orderly manner like conventional soldiers. Large swaths of White Ghouls were like Tarzan, flying through the trees at high speed. Occasionally, several of them leaped into the high sky, their dark ghost faces so terrifying.
In an instant,
The sky, the ground, the trees seemed to be full of White Ghouls.
"Don't panic, they won't pay attention to us," Han Jiangxue suddenly said.
Even though the trio had tried their best to move more than a hundred meters, they still underestimated the number of White Ghouls. They simply hadn't moved out of the White Ghoul group's route.
Jiang Xiao was still a little confused, but he had already seen a group of White Ghouls rushing towards him.
“Lie on the ground, don’t move, endure even if you get stepped on!” Han Jiangxue’s voice was extremely stern, and she directly lay down in the snow.
Her clear and cold voice entered the ears of the two and was quickly drowned out by the earth-shattering roar.
When a large army passes, all living beings retreat!
Jiang Xiao’s whole body stood on end. He hid behind a tree and lay on the ground very obediently.
At this moment, he was no longer Voldemort, nor was he an old schemer.
He was just a little minion pretending to be dead, praying that the Great Sage would withdraw his magical powers and let these monkeys and grandchildren disappear quickly.
Whoosh...
A White Ghoul apparently landed on the tree above Jiang Xiao’s head and quickly leaped up again, causing a large amount of snow to fall on Jiang Xiao’s body.
Due to the obstruction of the trees, Jiang Xiao was not trampled by the monkeys and grandchildren coming head-on, but on both sides of his body, he could often hear the heavy footsteps.
The snowflakes that splashed onto Jiang Xiao’s body due to the heavy footsteps stepping on the ground brought Jiang Xiao an unparalleled sense of happiness.
Give me more, it’s better to bury me completely.
Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan were not stupid. They were both adjusting their angles and hiding behind the trees.
Xia Yan also understood Han Jiangxue’s order. Although the three were hiding well, and the army was traveling fast, passing by quickly, they could not guarantee that the White Ghouls would not discover them.
What really made Han Jiangxue unafraid was the cry of "White Ghoul Witch cub."
In other words, the hatred of the White Ghouls had been completely drawn away, and they would not care about the trio at all.
If the male Awakened let go of the cub, he still had a chance to survive.
But even at this moment, he still refused to let go. He was really greedy.
