Chapter 1 The Sound of Hooves

Han Jiangxue listened to the "thump thump" of footsteps beside her, letting the splashing snowflakes whip at her face.

Her goggles worked extremely well, allowing her to clearly see the situation in front of her.

A roar caught Han Jiangxue's attention.

It came from the rear of the team, a familiar commanding voice, and the rare wail of a White Ghoul Witch.

In terms of physical quality alone, a White Ghoul Witch was far inferior to the White Ghouls charging at the front.

Naturally, the White Ghoul Witch fell behind the team.

As the army swept past, rushing forward at high speed, Han Jiangxue slowly reached out her palm and created a spatial coffin on the left side of her body.

Golden Star Technique: Shattered Space!

After the preparations were complete, Han Jiangxue remained calm, lying steadily in the snow, waiting for the protagonist to arrive.

Or rather... the protagonists.

As expected, ten seconds later, the protagonists, surrounded by several White Ghouls, made their appearance.

They were also traveling at high speed, but due to the speed limitations of the White Ghoul Witch, the White Ghoul bodyguards were unable to keep up.

"Six White Ghouls, two White Ghoul Witches," Han Jiangxue said softly. "Xia Yan, prepare to cover our retreat. Xiao Pi, give me a Star Bead."

"Oh." Jiang Xiao hurriedly took out two Star Beads from his pocket and threw them to Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan respectively.

Without hesitation, the two absorbed the Star Beads, and shimmering starlight rippled around their bodies, merging into their bodies.

Han Jiangxue knelt up, reached out with both hands, and suddenly shouted, "Get over here!"

She was incredibly quiet in battle, and this shout was a signal to Xia Yan.

With perfect understanding, Xia Yan didn't say a word. Seeing the two White Ghoul Witches being blown over, and also seeing the bewildered White Ghouls, she directly swung her giant blade.

From back to front,

From bottom to top!

The huge blade drew a circle of nearly 360 degrees, and a crimson blade arc cleaved through the wind, snow, and trees along the way, burning with raging flames, rushing towards the six White Ghouls.

"Hiss... hiss hiss..."

"Roar!" The bodies of the two White Ghoul Witches were out of control. Theoretically, one should be male and the other female. The White Ghoul Witch mother must have just given birth to a baby, right?

This body was indeed much stronger than a human. She could run a five-kilometer cross-country race immediately after giving birth...

"Xiao Pi!" Han Jiangxue cried out in surprise, actually seeing Jiang Xiao rushing out.

"I'm here, I'll help you attract their attention." Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiao's voice still came from beside a large tree.

Han Jiangxue was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Jiang Xiao had two Star Techniques, including the "Decoy" Star Technique.

However, this illusion was too realistic, especially in this dim light, enough to pass off the fake as real.

Silver light flickered in Han Jiangxue's hands, constantly urging the Desolate Wind and adjusting the angle.

The snow tornado, whipped up due to the special terrain, seemed to carry a trace of damage, and the illusions of the White Ghoul Witches quietly appeared, only to be swept away and dissipated in an instant.

With Jiang Xiao's previous action, Han Jiangxue also knew that the other party was using the "Decoy" skill to try to escape in desperation.

However, once bound by the snow tornado, how could they escape so easily?

Even their roars were drowned in the wind and snow, and Han Jiangxue deprived them of the right to issue orders.

At this moment, a White Ghoul Witch, finally emerging from the snow tornado, saw the human figure close at hand. It bared its sharp claws and, taking advantage of the wind and snow, viciously stabbed at Han Jiangxue.

Swish!

The momentum was majestic, the attack was swift, but it ended before it began.

The two White Ghoul Witches, one in front of the other, disappeared in front of Han Jiangxue, directly rushing into the rippling spatial ripples in front of her, and plunged into the spatial coffin.

Han Jiangxue blew herself and Jiang Xiao into the sky, and shouted at the shadow in the snow forest: "Go."

Xia Yan dragged the giant blade, stood with her feet apart, her elbow filled with cyan light. She gently bumped, knocking the White Ghoul in front of her back two steps. She twisted her wrist, tightened her grip on the giant blade, and swung it upwards.

A cold light flashed, and it was split in two with one slash!

"Uh..." A white light suddenly descended, and Xia Yan let out a comfortable groan, tilting her head from side to side, her chestnut-colored, slightly curly short hair dancing in the wind, beautiful and wild.

The cold face of Han Jiangxue suddenly appeared in her mind, and Xia Yan woke up suddenly, hurriedly carrying the giant blade on her back, not caring about any Star Beads, and quickly turned around and ran away.

"Woooo!" Xia Yan sprinted for more than three minutes, when suddenly a gust of wind swept behind her, pushing her forward dozens of meters.

If it was the first time experiencing this, Xia Yan would have fallen flat on her face.

But this was the countless time they had cooperated. Xia Yan stabilized her body, which was being pushed forward, quickly drew the giant blade from her back, held it horizontally by her side, and rolled over after landing, making a movement similar to a fish leap.

After releasing the force, Xia Yan quickly sheathed her blade and moved forward rapidly. The roars of several White Ghouls behind her were getting further and further away, apparently blown away by the Desolate Wind.

The trio slowly distanced themselves from the pursuing White Ghouls.

At this moment, Jiang Xiao, who was following Han Jiangxue, was completely in awe of this aloof young woman.

They not only stole two kills, but also managed to retreat unscathed.

Jiang Xiao was almost shouting 666.

Jiang Xiao had always felt that his ambitions were grand and his ambitions were strong, but at this moment, Jiang Xiao was really willing to transform into a salted fish and knock out a wave of 666 for Han Jiangxue.

Han Jiangxue's series of orders perfectly explained what "wisdom" and "calmness" meant, and also allowed Jiang Xiao to see what kind of psychological quality a true commander should possess.

Unmoved even when Mount Tai collapses before you, unblinking even when a moose appears to your left.

Through the phrase "White Ghoul Witch cub," Han Jiangxue analyzed this greedy person and an army of White Ghouls whose hatred had been raised to its peak.

At that moment, facing thousands of troops, she did not choose to retreat the team quickly, but instead ordered the three to hide in place, even saying the order, "Endure even if they step on you."

Was this gambling? Sort of, but it was more of a conclusion drawn from rational analysis.

And through the species characteristics of the White Ghoul Witch, Han Jiangxue relied on combined Star Techniques to skillfully and bloodlessly poach two White Ghoul Witches.

Relying on Xia Yan's combat power and the Desolate Wind Star Technique, she fought off the small number of White Ghouls chasing after them, and no longer greedy for Star Beads, quickly transferring the team.

Before the White Ghoul army could react, she arranged everything clearly.

Jiang Xiao was really Buddhist now.

Compared with Han Jiangxue, Jiang Xiao was really too far behind. No matter what world it was, the small group of people who truly stood on the top of the mountain were always people with wisdom and courage.

Han Jiangxue seemed to feel Jiang Xiao's fiery gaze. She turned her head while running and said, "Are you cold?"

Jiang Xiao wanted to appear brave, but his body was very honest.

Cold!

How could he not be cold?

"Use your Star Power, don't be afraid to waste Star Beads. We may still experience battles in a short period of time." As Han Jiangxue spoke, the route she was running began to gradually change.

There's more fighting?

Hadn't they already shaken off the pursuers behind them?

What other battles were there?

"Xiao Pi, give us two Star Beads, and put Blessings on us." Xia Yan's physical fitness was much stronger than Jiang Xiao's, and her speed was much faster than Jiang Xiao's. She quickly caught up.

"Shouldn't we rest for a while?" Jiang Xiao asked, while putting Blessings on the two of them, restoring their vitality and warming everyone's bodies.

"Can't you tell what your sister wants to do from this direction?" Xia Yan smiled, a hint of excitement revealed in her eyes. "Your sister is going to make money off dead people."

Make money off dead people?

Oh, right, that male Awakened One couldn't have gone deep into the snow forest on this southeast route alone. He must have come with teammates. His teammates were likely dead on the road.

Han Jiangxue was going to...

Loot corpses?
