Chapter 198 Welcome Guests

Beneath the night sky,

The trio was walking through a dense forest when they all stopped at once.

All three possessed perception-type star techniques. Unfortunately, they had encountered star-crowned creatures and human soldiers dependent on them in the thickets of Da Meng Province.

So, they had detoured along the way and did not delve deep into the Da Meng grasslands. Otherwise, Jiang Xiao's Silver-quality Perception star technique might have been replaced with a higher-quality one.

After all, how could the ghost tigers in the alien dimension be less than Platinum rank? Even Diamond rank was possible!

If the rank was Diamond, and the quality of the star technique contained in the star bead was lowered by one level, wouldn't it still be Platinum quality?

In the dark night, within the dense forest, a pair of eerie green eyes emitted a faint light, gazing at the group.

Without a doubt, Ghost-faced Monks!

In the Earth dimension, within the Central Plains region of Hua Xia, there existed the Other Dimension Space of the Ancient Pagoda Peak. The Ghost-faced Monks there were well-known, having "accompanied" batch after batch of Star Warriors specializing in Agility and Combat, leading to the saying in Hua Xia: "The Central Plains produces Agility Warriors."

Jiang Xiao drew the stone giant blade from his back. The blade was slightly fragmented and looked fragile, but Jiang Xiao quickly wrapped the blade with star power to protect the weapon in his hand.

This was just a standard weapon. In a true life-and-death battle, Jiang Xiao would likely draw the Flower Blade from his Star Chart, a great weapon that could cut iron like mud!

The blind girl wore a white robe, her sleeves fluttering.

She tilted her head slightly, lotus flowers blooming beneath her feet, two black ink flowers already blossoming on the soles of her shoes...

He Yun stood behind the two, frowning as he sized up the creature in front of them.

And in this dark dense forest, pair after pair of green eyes suddenly opened, their eerie and menacing gaze locking onto the three, a battle brewing.

In the silent forest, a hoarse voice suddenly echoed, incredibly sinister: "What... person..."

Jiang Xiao: ???

Even his two teammates behind him looked somewhat astonished.

Jiang Xiao opened his mouth and said, "Are you Hua Xia brothers? Where are you? Why didn't I..."

Before Jiang Xiao could finish speaking, the hoarse voice sounded again: "Hua Xia... brothers... not here."

As he spoke, a colossal figure nearly three meters tall slowly walked out.

Behind him, He Yun held up a bright sphere, like a night-luminescent pearl, slowly drifting over.

Jiang Xiao's pupils contracted slightly.

In his sight, the giant figure that walked out was wearing a raincoat woven from grass leaves, with a bamboo hat on its head, the brim pulled low, obscuring its eyes. But its dark face, and its wide-open mouth, already revealed the other's identity!

It was actually a Ghost-faced Monk?

At this time, it was not in a battle state, and the raincoat also seemed to be real, and not a star technique, so there were no other fluctuating lines or colors on the raincoat, making it impossible to tell what kind of Ghost-faced Monk it was for the time being.

A Ghost-faced Monk actually spoke?

Suppressing his shock, Jiang Xiao cautiously asked, "How can you speak Chinese? Did someone from Hua Xia teach you?"

"Hua Xia people..." The sinister voice sounded again, as if pondering something.

Jiang Xiao hurriedly asked, "Are there any of our compatriots from Hua Xia here? Could you trouble you to introduce us?"

The Ghost-faced Monk slowly stepped forward, a black hand reaching out, raising a finger with a sharp nail, pushing up the brim of its bamboo hat, revealing its large, golden eyes with no pupils.

Golden eyes, Jin Lu (Golden Monk)?

So, you are the leader of this group of Cao Lu (Grass Monks)?

Jiang Xiao thought to himself. In a non-combat state, he could not use the colors and lines on the raincoat to determine the other's identity, but the color of the eyes did expose their "breed."

Jiang Xiao continued: "Hello, may I ask, are there any of our Hua Xia compatriots here?"

The Jin Lu suddenly turned its body to the side, stretched out its black claws, and waved its hands to both sides, saying, "Make way, welcome guests!"

Immediately, the Cao Lu behind him retreated to both sides.

At this moment, a dilemma was placed before the group.

To enter? Or not to enter?

If it were just Jiang Xiao himself, then he would definitely go in, and if he died, so be it.

But He Yun and the blind girl were genuine flesh and blood. If they died, they would be gone.

This group of Ghost-faced Monks...

Jiang Xiao continued, "May I ask, is that Hua Xia person named He Chongyang? A cute little girl, with a slate necklace around her neck?"

The Jin Lu stared fixedly at Jiang Xiao, the corners of its mouth slowly widening, even reaching the roots of its ears.

A terrifying, horrifying ghost face was presented before the trio!

That sinister smile carried a unique sense of mystery, its voice hoarse, "Please!"

Jiang Xiao thought for a moment and said, "You two wait outside, I'll go in myself."

He Yun chuckled speechlessly, and the blind girl also frowned slightly.

Well... there was no helping it, Jiang Xiao was indeed used to being a "dad."

"Oh?" The Ghost-faced Jin Lu's golden eyes, with no pupils, widened slightly. It smiled at Jiang Xiao, seemingly surprised.

After Jiang Xiao said this, the Ghost-faced Jin Lu paid more attention to Jiang Xiao, and also saw the stone giant blade in his hand: "Attending the meeting alone! Hehe..."

Jiang Xiao: "..."

It seems our Hua Xia compatriots taught you a lot, huh?

You can even say high-level words like "attending the meeting alone"?

Attending the meeting alone is Guan Yu's thing!

Guan Yu held the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, which is a long-handled weapon.

I'm holding the Dragon-Slaying Saber, the kind you get for free when you click, how can that be the same!?

Of course, Jiang Xiao was just complaining inwardly. If the Ghost-faced Monk used these four words to describe Jiang Xiao's situation and determination, then there was nothing wrong with it.

Behind him, the blind girl stepped forward, lotus flowers blooming with each step. On the ground where her boots passed, black ink flowers quietly bloomed, but they were like ephemerals, fleeting.

The black ink flowers quickly withered, turning into specks of black oil stains, sinking into the soil.

Although she was walking forward, she was slightly turned to the side, as if looking at the old man behind her.

Unknown? Danger?

Nothing could stop her from moving forward.

Everyone has their own purpose for taking any action.

He Yun also moved forward, without hesitation. His purpose was simple: to cultivate Jiang Xiao.

By chance, in the Upper Snow Plains, He Yun had seen a soldier with a pure and sincere heart, and witnessed the warrior who lived up to his dual military registration.

Everything that Jiang Xiao had done for Hu Wei, the Cang Lan couple, the child Yuanyuan, and Zhang Songfu was a report card, and a statement of allegiance, making He Yun extremely satisfied.

He Yun hoped to exert some residual heat, and as a guide, in his remaining years, allow this young soldier to broaden his horizons and better understand everything about this alien dimension.

Now, since Jiang Xiao had decided to venture into this dangerous place, then He Yun would definitely follow.

The Ghost-faced Monk leader, Jin Lu, saw that the trio was still moving forward, and the curve of the smile on its black ghost face became even more terrifying.

This scene was extremely frightening. Timid people should not watch it. Jiang Xiao was really a little worried that the Ghost-faced Monk would laugh and laugh, and split its own head into two...

No Cao Lu followed, only the Jin Lu guiding the trio along the side. As they walked through this dense forest, Jiang Xiao, with the help of his perception-type star technique, clearly felt the dangers lurking in the forest. There were probably hundreds of Ghost-faced Monks ambushing and guarding this place.

More than ten minutes later, the group arrived before a magnificent city wall.

This city gate was simply like the gate of an ancient Hua Xia city. Above the giant city gate, three large characters were engraved: Ye Gu Ta.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiao's mind went blank...

The name of this city was too distinctly Hua Xia. He wondered if the words "Gu Ta" came from the Earthlings' naming of "Ancient Pagoda Peak," or because there were ancient pagodas standing tall here, which was why these two words were written.

But no matter the meaning of "Gu Ta," the word "Ye" had already made Jiang Xiao think of the words "Six Dynasties Ancient Capital."

There were indeed humans here, and they must be Hua Xia people!

A Hua Xia person with a profound cultural background, or perhaps in the Earth dimension, he was born and raised here. This land was his other home in the alien dimension.

"Unit! Designation! Number!" A loud voice suddenly came from the high wall, pure Chinese, pure intonation.

With just this sentence, the excitement and boldness contained in the tone made everyone feel as if they were in the midst of a battlefield...

The blind girl frowned slightly, but did not speak.

He Yun looked up at the dark figure on the city wall, and slowly said, "Pioneering - Opening Heaven, Team Number 42, Soldier Number 001. He Yun."

Not to mention the latter two ridiculously small numbers, Team 42, Soldier Number 001. Just saying the first two words was probably enough to stun the person on the city wall, right?

Pioneering - Opening Heaven!

Jiang Xiao couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. This was a god-tier designation!

Opening Heaven...

Every time he heard this, Jiang Xiao felt his scalp tingle.

Especially under the old voice of Senior He Yun, this designation represented too many stories.

But on the city wall, there was no further sound.

Jiang Xiao looked a little embarrassed. Did the brother above not hear of Senior He Yun's team designation?

After all, this team was the one that opened up the heavens and the earth...

Jiang Xiao turned his head and glanced at the Jin Lu, and found that it had lowered its hat brim. Its majestic body was wrapped in the raincoat, standing there motionless, like a sculpture.

Jiang Xiao frowned, looked up, and shouted, "Brother, such pure Chinese is already a code word. Don't tell me you've been hurt by compatriots."

On the city wall, a voice finally came: "Leave Ye Gu Ta."

Jiang Xiao grinned and said, "We finally found compatriots. We just want to meet you and chat. We have no malicious intentions. In this alien dimension, there aren't many of our kind."

"Hehe." A disdainful laugh came from upstairs, and the voice spoke again, "Leave here."

The Jin Lu suddenly raised its head, its voice hoarse, "If... they are, your companions, can... together guard, Ye Gu Ta."

Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and looked up to ask, "Friend, have you encountered any trouble? Our strength is not bad."

"Leave."

Jiang Xiao directly stated his identity: "Night Watch - Light Chaser. Vice-Captain of the Tail Feathers Squad, codename Nine Tails. You haven't heard of Opening Heaven, have you heard of Tail Feathers?

Oh, right, you may have been here for a long time. At that time, we were still called the Tail Feathers Team."

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Xiao clearly noticed the blind girl beside him tremble!

Jiang Xiao: !!!

If Jiang Xiao didn't have a perception-type star technique, he might have really overlooked her abnormality in this dark night.

On the city wall, a black shadow jumped directly down.

This unappreciative thing!

You don't recognize "Opening Heaven," but you recognize "Tail Feathers"? I really don't know what to say about you.

But at this time, Jiang Xiao had no time to complain. He looked fixedly at the blind girl beside him and said, "Old He."

He Yun: "Hmm?"

Jiang Xiao slowly turned his head, looked at He Yun, and asked, "Is this girl surnamed Yu?"

He Yun was slightly stunned. Without speaking, his expression had already explained everything.

Jiang Xiao took a deep breath, turned his head, and looked at the blind girl's figure.

In the distance, the figure falling from the city wall landed heavily and slowly walked towards the trio.

And Jiang Xiao just stared fixedly at the blind girl and said, "I am Nine Tails. Before me, there were four Tail Feathers.

The first one died in battle, the second one became the captain, the third one jumped into the Holy Ruins, and the fourth one was discharged from the military.

Death, departure, escape, each according to their fate."

The blind girl remained silent, standing there quietly, without any more reaction.

Jiang Xiao said softly, "That first Tail Feather who died in battle once said to me that the third Tail Feather was not a deserter. She just understood what she wanted. She finally mustered up the courage to truly live."

The blind girl finally moved. She slowly lowered her head.

Inside her white robe, her palms were clenched into fists.

Jiang Xiao stepped forward to the blind girl and extended his right hand: "Nice to meet you, Tail Feathers Team, Nine Tails."

The blind girl's slender jade hand reached out from her white robe and gently grasped Jiang Xiao's palm: "Yu Qiushi."

The next moment, Jiang Xiao's body was suddenly yanked. The blind girl's lips approached Jiang Xiao's ear: "Who killed One Tail."

Jiang Xiao said softly, "The person who killed him is already dead. I caught the murderer and handed him over to Two Tails. She executed him herself. As for the murderer's organization, there are still eleven people at large."

The blind girl bit her lip, and for a moment, there was no sound.

Jiang Xiao was silent for a long time, and said softly, "Two Tails always took me to that barbecue restaurant. She liked to eat the grilled cod there. Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu are both very healthy."

Jiang Xiao only felt his palm being tightly grasped, and his hand bones made a crisp sound. He endured the pain and did not speak again.

In front of him, under the white cloth that covered the blind girl's eyes, two lines of tears slowly flowed,

But the tears were not clear, but a patch of black, like the material of the black ink flower, staining her fair face.

Jiang Xiao sighed softly: Hello, Three Tails.
