Yu
Chapter 1032 Endless Joy
The Alien Ball squad advanced eastward, with Hei Ling Huo Yu and Zhi Mo Shu Hun constantly releasing flames southward, spraying scorching airwaves, and scattering explosive paper charms.
Hei Ling Huo Yu's Fiery Wind wasn't just scattering flames; it was blowing the flames southward, spreading rapidly through the forest! That was the most terrifying part!
The peninsula was approximately 250 kilometers long from east to west. At the speed of this elite team, they could cover the distance in a little over a day if they really ran. Keep in mind, these weren't ordinary humans, but a group of terrifying Platinum-ranked creatures.
Of course, the marching speed couldn't be calculated that way. Along the way, they would inevitably encounter all sorts of strange Star Beasts and battles. If they weren't careful and were surrounded by Vajra Tigers and Vajra Deer, there was a chance the team could be scattered.
The hundred-strong elite team made haste, setting fires as they went, while Jiang Tu entered Jiang Xiao's Calamity Shadow Ruins.
"S-sir..." Jiang Tu had barely entered and walked a few steps when he heard a trembling voice.
Jiang Tu strode over and saw the once ruthless and vicious female demon. She had been reduced to an obedient little kitten.
"Hello, Yin Yingzhen," Jiang Tu said.
Yin Yingzhen's body trembled slightly. As a female demon, she felt as though she was hearing the whispers of a true demon. A layer of cold sweat rapidly appeared on her forehead.
She wore Star Power handcuffs on her wrists. Even without anyone restricting her movements, she remained kneeling in place, not daring to move an inch. Her posture hadn't changed since Jiang Tu's last visit.
"Sir," Yin Yingzhen replied, her head lowered, her voice trembling.
For a small number of people, physical torment truly wouldn't destroy their minds. Yin Yingzhen was a prime example.
As a Star Warrior, broken arms and legs were common occurrences during her growth. Scars and pain were the main themes of a Star Warrior's development. She wasn't afraid of physical torment, and Jiang Tu had never tormented her on that level.
However, that "kneeling in water" trick had taken Yin Yingzhen's life.
Such a method wouldn't be considered torment to anyone else, but for Yin Yingzhen, it had completely shattered her inner defenses and torn her nerves to shreds.
Even though that punishment had passed several days ago, Yin Yingzhen didn't want to experience that terrifying feeling for even a second longer.
Seeing the respectful Yin Yingzhen, Jiang Tu came before her and crouched down.
To be honest, although Jiang Xiao had a soft heart, he could distinguish situations. He wasn't a saint bestowing universal compassion, nor would he give his kindness and tolerance indiscriminately to everyone.
Yin Yingzhen's status as a death row inmate made Jiang Tu uninhibited, and her deception and exploitation of Xiao Chongyang gave Jiang Tu a reason to take revenge. Yin Yingzhen's current state was very miserable.
All of her past confidence and pride were gone, replaced only by fear, terror, trembling, and utmost respect.
"When you were first sent up here, which part of the peninsula were you located in?" Jiang Tu sat cross-legged and asked.
Yin Yingzhen quickly replied, "The southeastern coastal area."
"Mm, how many came in total?" Jiang Tu asked casually, but in his heart, he answered along with Yin Yingzhen: 21.
He had already cross-referenced the accuracy of this information through the interrogation of two prisoners.
Yin Yingzhen: "A total of 21 people came up alive."
It was unknown whether the Kimchi Country of Earth had sent up any death row inmates during the time that Yin Yingzhen wasn't on this land.
The Star Power realm of the first batch of death row inmates sent up here was no higher than Star River Peak, and no lower than the Nebula stage.
But after about two years, those Star Warriors with higher talent and more resolute hearts were probably already in the Star Sea stage.
Jiang Tu seemed to suddenly remember something and asked curiously, "Hey, I've never asked before, what were you sentenced to death for?"
"During my fourth year of university, I... killed a few ordinary people and stole some valuables," Yin Yingzhen replied quietly.
Jiang Tu was stunned by the nonchalant tone. Was she really treating human lives like nothing? A genuine Star Warrior criminal.
Even if you weren't a Star Warrior, but just an ordinary person, the death penalty wouldn't be so easily handed down.
Moreover, she was a Star Warrior.
Due to the special nature of the Star Warrior community, all countries in the world had very strict control and punishment of Star Warriors. Education was the main focus, with punishment as a supplement, using severe penalties to maintain social stability and ensure that Star Warriors and humans could coexist harmoniously.
Jiang Tu asked curiously, "Why did you do that? Attacking a group of ordinary people? What's the point of bullying the weak?"
Yin Yingzhen was visibly silent for a moment before replying quietly, "I can control their lives, deprive them of everything. Why wouldn't I?
I was entitled to more resources and care...
But I had nothing, absolutely nothing.
I was already a senior at the time. I had given a lot to this land. I followed the school's commands and orders, destroying many other-dimensional spaces and protecting many people.
But I was about to graduate and would be assigned to an ordinary position. I knew what the salary would be like.
I had struggled for so long, given so much, but I didn't even have the money to buy a pair of earrings. My life shouldn't be like this. It wasn't fair to me...
That night, I left the school and easily got what I wanted. That feeling was really wonderful..."
Jiang Tu was left with a question mark on his face after hearing her words.
Jiang Tu pondered for a long time and said, "You've got quite a few reasons, talking so smoothly. But those civilians were innocent. Come with me and do something proper. Consider it atonement for your sins."
With that, Jiang Tu grabbed Yin Yingzhen by the collar, lifted her up, turned her around, and pressed her against the air wall.
"Crack!"
With a soft sound, the Star Power handcuffs were opened, and the blue light on the handcuffs disappeared. Streams of Star Power once again surged into their bodies.
Yin Yingzhen's face lit up with joy, even ecstasy. When she turned around again, she had transformed back into that glamorous and charming woman.
Jiang Tu couldn't help but snort as he watched her change. "After we get out, pretend to be the leader of this squad. If you encounter any of your former cellmates along the way, stabilize them with words first. We'll take care of the rest."
Yin Yingzhen lowered her head and listened silently, looking submissive.
"Of course, you can also ambush us, you can also run away in the chaos, as long as you think you have the strength to do so," Jiang Tu said casually.
Yin Yingzhen bowed and nodded repeatedly, terribly respectful, muttering, "No, never, sir, no."
She started speaking normally, but as she spoke, she seemed to recall her previous experience. The more she spoke, the more her voice trembled.
Jiang Tu heard a lot of things and a lot of ideas from her words.
The most important of which was that she was the kind of person who believed in "the strong are respected," which would save a lot of trouble.
"Let's go." With that, Jiang Xiao led Yin Yingzhen out. As Jiang Xun opened the space door, the two of them walked out.
Yin Yingzhen thought that she would be met with angry stares from the squad members, but she was overthinking it. More precisely, she underestimated the severity of the situation outside.
The scorching heat made it hard for her to breathe. As far as she could see in this mountain forest, there was nothing but a sea of fire.
And in this burning forest, heart-shaking tiger roars were stirring everyone's nerves, driving everyone's desire to fight.
Even more, sharp deer cries were also tearing at everyone's nerves, but instead of making people's heads spin and trying to fight to the death, they were sending a message to everyone: Get out! All of you, stay away from me!
Both the tiger roars and the deer cries were unique Star Techniques of the Jinshan topography. In the midst of the roars of these two Star Beasts, there were two flute sounds from Hua Xia, Lu Dong, overlapping and protecting everyone.
The melodious and pleasant flute sound was out of tune with the spreading fire, and it seemed out of place in this atmosphere of natural disaster and wildfire.
Two huge, white-faced dancing girls were moving forward rapidly with the army. Their long alabaster legs were running fast, but even so, the flute sound they blew out of their mouths didn't go out of tune at all, and their breathing was very stable.
The entire elite troop was able to maintain a calm mind and firm steps with the help of these two flute sounds.
Jiang Tu and Yin Yingzhen were running in the rear of the team. He said, "The situation is better than you imagined, isn't it? If you have any ideas in your heart, be sure to plan them well and seize the opportunity."
Yin Yingzhen shook her head repeatedly. "No, sir, I would never do that."
Yin Yingzhen looked at the hellish scene of flames burning the sky and gave a more decisive answer than expected.
"Oooo~ oooo~" Accompanied by a firestorm from the vanguard Hei Ling Huo Yu, the mournful sound of a Vajra Tiger came from the forest. It was obviously hit hard.
The army continued to advance without changing its route or lingering in battle.
But Jiang Tu had already set his sights on this Star Bead. He gestured in the direction of the firestorm on the right front and flicked his hand. The Platinum-colored Diamond: Desperate Weapon was thrown out, and a giant blade was held in his hand.
Whoosh...
A flash of Platinum color swept past, and the giant blade took Jiang Tu on a Desperate Journey.
That figure sped into a sea of fire.
At the same time, Yin Yingzhen, who had received the signal, also flicked her hand, and two Platinum-colored daggers appeared. Her figure also flashed, chasing after Jiang Tu into the sea of fire.
"Crack crack..." A burning giant tree fell down, not only crushing the surrounding flowers and plants, but also shattering the giant tree itself.
Yin Yingzhen's eyes narrowed slightly as she saw a rather peculiar scene.
Jiang Tu held the blade in both hands, blocking it in front of him. The Platinum-colored giant blade was blocking the Vajra Tiger's claws!
The Vajra Tiger was definitely more than five meters long. It was obviously scraped by the firestorm. At this time, its black-and-white skin was slightly scorched and exuded the smell of singed pig hair.
The Vajra Tiger's giant claws were so sharp and powerful. With the help of its "Agility" Star Technique, its reaction was extremely fast. It slapped down with its palm, almost slamming Jiang Tu into the scorching scorched earth.
And at this time, Jiang Tu was facing away from Yin Yingzhen...
For a Star Sea Agility Warrior like Yin Yingzhen, this posture was a matter of life and death.
In the next moment, Yin Yingzhen's rapidly shuttling figure flashed past Jiang Tu's side. A pair of daggers stabbed directly into the Vajra Tiger's abdomen from bottom to top!
The unparalleled impact brought enormous inertia, and Yin Yingzhen actually overturned the injured Vajra Tiger!
Jiang Tu's eyes narrowed, and he also shuttled over, thrusting the giant blade into the Vajra Tiger's scorched and huge head.
The two Star Sea Agility Warriors frantically strangled the Vajra Tiger, and the struggling Vajra Tiger was no match for them!
Another huge tree was burned and broken, and crashed down with a loud sound.
The red light on Yin Yingzhen's re-summoned daggers flashed. The moment they touched the Vajra Tiger, they blasted its huge body eight meters away!
Rumble...
"Oooo~" A whimper came as the burning giant tree crashed heavily on the Vajra Tiger's heavy body, and the Desperate Giant Blade in Jiang Tu's hand had been replaced by a red mist-shrouded Flower Blade!
A fatal blow, directly piercing the head!
Yin Yingzhen quickly stepped forward, her daggers filled with red light, overturned the giant tree, but silently retreated to the side.
And Jiang Tu was still facing away from Yin Yingzhen, taking out the Star Bead of the Vajra Tiger.
The whole process was eerily quiet, with only the crackling of flames, the roars of forest Star Beasts, and the sound of burning giant trees constantly collapsing.
Jiang Tu shook the blood off his hand, picked up the Star Bead, and without looking at Yin Yingzhen, said, "Let's go, catch up with the main force."
As he spoke, two figures shuttled rapidly, chasing after the main force.
After the two left, in the dense forest, a figure emerged from behind a giant tree.
Baze, controlled by Jiang Shou, stepped forward, looking thoughtfully at the corpse of the Vajra Tiger, his mind also recalling the scene just now.
And under the scorched earth next to the Vajra Tiger's corpse, a head shrouded in black mist slowly emerged from the ground.
Jiang Shou and Jiang Tu were working together to set a trap. They gave Yin Yingzhen at least two chances, but she didn't seem to have any other ideas?
Baze put the black mist doll into the Star Chart and muttered to himself, "This Yin Yingzhen, tsk tsk, a little interesting..."
Was it because the cruel methods of "kneeling in water" tore through her defenses, making her afraid to have any more thoughts of resistance? Or was it because she worshiped the strong and really planned to follow this team?
It was said that people born in that land had reached a morbid level of understanding of "respect" and "obedience." Now that she had encountered the powerful Jiang Xiao, would she... Well, in any case, her existence gave the team more operational possibilities when encountering death row inmate teams in the future.
Let's take another look, let's assess her again.
Fighting against the sky, fighting against the earth, fighting against people,
Truly endless fun!
