Chapter 120 Warm Body

Xia Yan led the way, Han Jiangxue and Jiang Xiao were in the middle, and soldier Pi Keqiu brought up the rear. The four-person team slowly approached, less than a meter apart. After nearly half an hour of difficult walking, Jiang Xiao finally saw the flag waving high in the distance.

In such a harsh environment, in a sparsely populated other dimension, when you have been walking aimlessly for half an hour and finally see traces of human civilization, it is difficult for ordinary people to understand that kind of feeling.

Jiang Xiao also finally understood why Han Jiangxue didn't want him to get up early for morning exercises. This journey would really require a lot of physical support.

In front of them, the Red Star flag flying high was made of some kind of material, emitting a dazzling red light, like a lighthouse in the dark night, guiding people towards home.

Ahead, Xia Yan stopped and turned her head, shouting loudly, "Do we need to go in and rest for a while?"

Jiang Xiao and Pi Keqiu, of course, had no say. The two waited for Han Jiangxue to decide.

Han Jiangxue shook her head, covering her mouth and nose, and responded loudly, "We were just here a few days ago. The information won't have changed much. Let's head northwest. More human teams have explored that area, which is more suitable for our current team's goals."

Along the way, Jiang Xiao had made some guesses in his mind. The four-person team had walked for a full half an hour, but had not seen any traces of other-dimensional creatures. On closer inspection, it should be that the guardian team here had cleaned the place up.

Below the waving red flag was a natural cave, a human stronghold, providing human teams with a place to rest, food resources, and information sharing.

The group could only continue to walk deeper into the snowfield to encounter the so-called other-dimensional creatures.

The northwest route was a route that human Awakener teams had explored relatively frequently. There were no shortage of other-dimensional creatures, but it would not put this team in too much danger.

"Okay, let's speed up. We're too slow. My feet are almost frozen," Xia Yan said loudly, turning around and walking forward.

Jiang Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Han Jiangxue beside him with a searching gaze.

Behind the dark blue goggles, the girl, of course, couldn't understand the information Jiang Xiao wanted to convey.

Jiang Xiao said loudly, "Maybe I can warm you up a bit, at least get your blood flowing better."

Han Jiangxue hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly. Letting Jiang Xiao contribute to the team was also a good idea.

In the next moment, a white beam of light fell on Xia Yan's body in front.

Xia Yan's body stopped abruptly, accompanied by the whistling of the cold wind. A long groan escaped from her soft lips, which were a little dark from the cold: "Aaaah~"

Jiang Xiao's body couldn't help but shudder.

Well...

It was from the cold.

He must have shuddered from the cold.

The white beam of light continued to fall. Han Jiangxue clenched her teeth, trying hard not to make a sound.

But Pi Keqiu behind him was much more domineering, making a deep guttural sound. The scene was extremely strange for a while.

"Tsk tsk, Xiao Pi! My sister told me a long time ago that you are a medical-type Awakener. I didn't expect you to be so proficient in using Star Techniques," Xia Yan shouted loudly without turning her head.

"Oh," Jiang Xiao responded politely.

Xia Yan's face was full of teasing, and she said, "My body is nice and warm. After this expedition, can I take you back to my house to warm my feet?"

Jiang Xiao: ???

I am destined to be a man who will conquer the stars and the sea, but you want me to go home and warm your feet?

Are you misunderstanding something about me, Jiang Xiao?

Behind him, soldier Pi Keqiu silently looked at Jiang Xiao with a hint of envy in his eyes.

Medical-type Awakeners were too scarce. Just now, Jiang Xiao had only used the lowest level Bronze-quality medical Star Technique, and it had made his body much warmer. In the future, if Jiang Xiao could obtain higher-quality medical Star Techniques, he would probably become a hot commodity.

If he could bring him into his army, that would be great. He really hoped that his comrades-in-arms could have medical attributes.

Simple words enlivened the atmosphere of the small team. Fifteen minutes later, the howling cold wind finally gradually quieted down, and the group arrived at the edge of a snow forest.

"Eleven o'clock," Xia Yan said suddenly.

As the group walked, they looked forward. At the edge of the snow forest, there were several objects lying scattered in disorder.

As the group slowly approached, Jiang Xiao could see what they were.

Corpses!

And not human corpses, but corpses of White Ghosts.

He never thought that the first time he saw other-dimensional creatures, it would be three corpses?

Xia Yan took the lead and came to the side of the already frozen White Ghost. She squatted down, opened her small mouth, bit off the glove on her hand, and put one hand down, touching the congealed blood.

"The heads of the corpses have not been cut off. These are probably the prey of other exploration teams, and they haven't had time to collect the spoils," Xia Yan said, drawing a dagger from her waist and skillfully cutting off the head of the White Ghost.

Although Xia Yan said clearly that the corpses of these two White Ghosts were likely the prey of other teams, her actions were even clearer. She was planning to pick off whatever she could.

The wind and snow lessened, and Jiang Xiao couldn't help but lift his goggles and walk up quickly, looking down at this magical other-dimensional creature.

They had thick white fur, so you could imagine how effective it was at keeping out the cold.

They were about 170 centimeters tall, with broad bodies, sharp teeth and claws, and large feet.

They had no stray hairs on their bodies, and their fur was very beautiful, but they had small, pitch-black faces with slightly sunken noses, making them look very ugly, with an indescribable sense of weirdness.

"Tsk tsk, lucky. There's a Star Bead," Xia Yan said, taking out a blood-stained Star Bead from the cut-off head of the White Ghost and casually throwing it to Jiang Xiao. "It's yours."

"Ah." Jiang Xiao was still carefully looking at the White Ghost and was caught off guard by this sudden scene. He hurriedly caught the blood-stained Star Bead. For a moment, a message flashed into his mind.

"White Ghost Star Bead (Bronze Quality)

Has Star Techniques:

1. Qing Mang (Cyan Edge): Strongly strike the enemy, increase the damage to the Qing Mang part, and add a slight knockback effect. (Bronze Quality, upgradable)
2. Endurance: Passive Star Technique, increases self-defense. (Bronze Quality, upgradable)

Whether to merge and absorb?"

"Xia Yan, you know, he only has 9 Star Slots," Han Jiangxue said hesitantly.

Xia Yan waved her hand with a carefree smile and said, "Didn't you give him three White Ghost Star Beads already?"

Han Jiangxue: "That was before he showed his potential as a medical Awakener."

Xia Yan restrained her smile and said, "I know he has few Star Slots, but in Jiangbei, you can't find a better basic Star Technique than this White Ghost Star Bead. Whether it's the active skill or the passive skill, Xiao Pi will use them most frequently in his school and combat career in the future."

Han Jiangxue remained silent. Of course, she hoped that Jiang Xiao's few Star Slots would be filled with high-quality Star Techniques.

But what Xia Yan said made sense. Although the White Ghost's Star Technique was of the lowest level, Bronze quality, it was extremely practical.

In particular, the active skill "Qing Mang" was simply an essential Star Technique for training and combat.

The land of China is vast, but at least in Beijiang, generations of people have relied on "Qing Mang" to walk out of school, into society, and then to stand out.

Including the three people present, whether it was the gifted Xia Yan, Han Jiangxue, or soldier Pi Keqiu, two of the positions in their Star Slots were given to the White Ghost Star Bead, and the two Star Slots were embedded with "Qing Mang" and "Endurance" respectively.

"In the next three years of high school and four years of college, the other-dimensional creatures that Xiao Pi will face most are probably White Ghosts, just like you and me. We have to have them even if we don't want them. After all, we need White Ghost Star Beads to increase our Star Power limit and replenish our losses," Xia Yan said, looking at the still-silent Han Jiangxue, explaining that her reasoning was clear and her words were simple and clear.

"It is indeed the most cost-effective skill in the growth stage," Han Jiangxue sighed and shook her head. Since knowing that Jiang Xiao had the potential to absorb medical Star Techniques, Han Jiangxue's mentality had indeed changed. She couldn't wait for the remaining eight Star Slots to be filled with Silver or even Gold quality medical Star Techniques.

But people have to grow, and even more so, to survive. Generations of Beijiang people have used practical actions to prove the Bronze god-tier skill "Qing Mang." Its dominant position is beyond doubt.

Miss sister was still secretly troubled by Jiang Xiao's remaining eight Star Slots.

But in Jiang Xiao's hand, there was a flash of white light, and energy flowed.

In the constellation diagram of Beidou Jiu Xing (Big Dipper), the second star was also lit up.

For Jiang Xiao, quality is not important!

What is important is... nothing is important!

Even if it's stubborn Bronze, I can upgrade it to dazzling diamond!
