Chapter 363 Setback

Three days later, afternoon.

Dragon Cave Military Base, within Er Wei's Calamity Shadow Territory.

Er Wei looked at Jiang Xiao, who was standing before her with his head bowed, and waited for his answer.

However, the answer seemed to be written all over Jiang Xiao's face.

Beside him, Han Jiangxue also wore a worried expression, not daring to disturb Jiang Xiao, only waiting for him to speak first.

Xia Yan wasn't here. After this Dragon Cave exploration mission, Team Tail Feathers had applied for two mission rewards. One was Er Wei's Hidden Dragon cub, and the other was those five Hidden Dragon Star Beads.

With the team acquiring such a large amount of resources, the application for these two mission rewards was very smooth, and the Dragon Cave garrison army was indeed willing to encourage Team Tail Feathers.

Just yesterday, after the applied rewards were distributed, Xia Yan absorbed a full five Hidden Dragon Star Beads. When absorbing the fifth one, she finally absorbed the Diamond-rank Concealed Body star technique.

The process of absorbing the Star Beads could only be described as thrilling. Xia Yan couldn't buy the Hidden Dragon Star Beads in her hands no matter how rich she was.

When absorbing the last Star Bead, Xia Yan looked dejected, and was really about to cry...

Fortunately, a Ringing Bell from Jiang Xiao calmed Xia Yan down a lot, and she reorganized her emotions. Finally, this last Hidden Dragon Star Bead gave her a trace of return.

At this time, Xia Yan was cooperating with the Dragon Cave base personnel, leaving body data, and repeatedly testing the specific functions of the Concealed Body.

...

Now back to Jiang Xiao's side.

At this time, Jiang Xiao was leaning against the air wall, arms crossed, head hanging low, his eyes scattered, looking at the ground.

And in the telepathy, Jiang Xiao was feeling the feelings of the decoy.

Jiang Xiao re-summoned a training dummy, and this training dummy not only had a Nine Stars Chart, but it was also at the Star Ocean stage!

Of course, the previous training dummy's Azure Rock Bull and Floral Rock Bull star techniques were also completely refreshed. This Star Ocean-stage training dummy's star slots were empty at this time, and Jiang Xiao had not inlaid any Star Beads for him. He was just a test product.

Just in the morning, Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue went to the Fen City mountainous area and entered the Snowfield Other Dimension Space.

The two had been to this snowfield before, before the last time they entered the Dragon Cave for exploration. Team Tail Feathers had practiced their formation here.

This snowfield space was not open to the public, but was specially prepared for the warriors exploring the Dragon Cave.

Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue followed the direction indicated by the soldiers, teleported three or two times, and broke into a valley. The terrain here was very good. Although it wasn't like the Snowfield Sacred Ruins of Jiannan Village, hidden inside a hill, this Sacred Ruins stood inside a mountain cave with tunnels leading in all directions.

In a chaotic group of White Ghosts, Jiang Xiao threw the Star Ocean-Nine Stars Chart-Training Dummy into the Sacred Ruins.

Then, there was no then...

The training dummy immediately used the Star Transformation into Martial Art - Exploration Direction effect, but almost exhausted himself into a coma. Jiang Xiao hurriedly cut off the telepathy.

And the staggering training dummy found a cave nearby, ran in by himself, and sealed the cave entrance.

When he woke up again, it was already this moment, already in the afternoon.

In Er Wei's Calamity Shadow Territory, Jiang Xiao finally raised his head, looked at the two, his voice a little low, and said, "No, I can't catch it. The space-time tunnel changes its direction more than ten times within a second. It's too fast."

Jiang Xiao lowered his eyes, his voice getting lighter and lighter: "That space-time tunnel is not something that people can keep up with, even if they have teleportation star techniques, they can't catch up."

Er Wei sighed softly and said nothing.

Han Jiangxue stepped forward, put Jiang Xiao in her arms, and gently patted Jiang Xiao's back, comforting the person in low spirits.

She still remembered Jiang Xiao's excited appearance three days ago, and at this time, his dream was shattered.

Facts proved that Star Shift - Star Transformation into Martial Art could indeed find the way home.

However, the space-time tunnel from the upper dimension to the lower dimension was flickering madly, constantly shifting its position, and no one could keep up with it.

The upper dimensions were like this, not to mention alien planets.

At this moment, the Star Ocean-stage Training Dummy in the upper dimension had finished his rest. He stood in the dark cave, and bright Nine Stars Diagrams flashed in his eyes again.

The training dummy followed the position of Xia Yan marked by his Nine Stars Diagram and began to look for the way home.

Then, his pair of Nine Stars eyes flickered, revealing a brilliant cold light, his head rotated rapidly, and his body kept spinning.

He found the way home, and he found many ways home.

However, those "space-time tunnels" were extremely unstable, fleeting, and changing direction dozens of times per second...

Why was there a fixed Sacred Ruins road upwards, but no such fixed road downwards?

Shouldn't a door open in both directions?

"Stop it, don't force yourself." Han Jiangxue's soft voice rang in Jiang Xiao's ear, her cold voice rarely softening.

Jiang Xiao spoke again: "I can't find the pattern, there's no pattern at all..."

The long-term, high-frequency positioning made the Star Ocean training dummy's head dizzy.

Jiang Xiao's main body's head was also getting more and more dizzy, and he immediately closed the telepathy.

After a while, this feeling gradually disappeared.

After all, this was just a feeling under telepathy. Jiang Xiao's main body had not suffered any real damage.

Er Wei said, "If there really was a fixed road, many people would have returned long ago. You know this better than I do."

Jiang Xiao took a deep breath. He wanted to go up with his main body to find Xiao Chongyang... Now it seemed that only the decoy could go.

Er Wei continued, "Having this kind of space positioning is already very good. At least next time, no criminal will be able to escape your tracking."

As she said that, Er Wei changed the subject and said, "How many targets can you locate?"

Jiang Xiao patted Han Jiangxue's back, gently broke free from her embrace, and said, "Three targets."

Er Wei thought for a while and said, "You have the ability to trace the past. Can you match it with the space positioning ability? When you look at the past, can you leave a mark on that person?"

Jiang Xiao shook his head and said, "No, I have to see the real person. My eyes must be locked on a person before I can use the Nine Stars Eyes to leave a mark on the target."

"Mm." Er Wei pondered for a moment, looked at the watch on her wrist, and said, "Take a good rest. It's time for me to cooperate with the base staff to study the Hidden Dragon cub."

Jiang Xiao suddenly said, "I have to go to the Willpower Country, to White Forest City."

Er Wei was slightly stunned and said, "What for?"

Jiang Xiao thought for a while and said, "To trace back the battle where Star Transformation-Layana seized the body of her daughter Martha. I want to see Layana's Star Chart."

Er Wei: !!!

The suggestion about visualizing Layana's Star Chart was given to Jiang Xiao by Er Wei. She understood what Jiang Xiao wanted to do by taking this action.

Jiang Xiao said, "Now that I already know the specific function of Layana's Star Chart, if I can analyze it frame by frame, and then achieve it without any difference, strip down her Star Chart in all aspects, even if it takes some time to figure out this mystery, it's worth it.

The most important thing is that we know the function of the Star Chart.

We just have to work hard in this correct direction, inferring the process from the correct result."

Han Jiangxue looked solemn and said, "Are you sure you want that Star Chart? You can ask for the Star Chart of anyone around you, and we will tell you all our understandings to help you transform Star Transformation into Martial Art more smoothly."

Jiang Xiao nodded and said, "Everyone's Star Chart has different functions. I'm sure I really want that cloak Star Chart. Whether or not I eventually choose to strip down Layana's Star Chart, I must go to the Willpower Country this time."

"Okay." Er Wei suddenly spoke, making a final decision, "Okay, I'll go cooperate with the researchers' work. You take a good rest here. At 9:00 a.m. tomorrow, it will be 2:00 a.m. in the Willpower Country. We'll flash to Willpower Country-White Forest City."

Jiang Xiao looked up at Er Wei, pondered for a long time, and said, "Mm... that's okay too."

More people meant more security.

In terms of tracing back time, it was indeed very easy for Jiang Xiao to see what happened a few seconds or minutes ago, and the energy consumption was also very small.

But if the date of tracing back was too long ago, Jiang Xiao's energy consumption would be very high. Two months had passed since the battle between Jiang Xiao and Layana, and it would cost a lot for Jiang Xiao to trace back what happened two months ago.

If there were no accidents, he could only last for eight to ten minutes at most, and then he would completely fall asleep.

But it must be noted that Jiang Xiao could use a decoy to trace back the past.

Although under telepathy, Jiang Xiao would also be affected to a certain extent, his head would be stiff, and he would feel a trace of fatigue, but that was just a feeling brought about by telepathy.

Jiang Xiao's main body's energy was not consumed, and his body was not damaged.

Therefore, for a training dummy with an empty Star Chart who was not afraid of wasting Star Beads and not afraid of brushing off star techniques, Jiang Xiao could transform Star Transformation into Martial Art time and time again, and summon the decoy again and again.

Jiang Xiao looked at Er Wei's back and said, "The Hidden Dragon cub's characteristics and biological instincts are an opportunity for you.

If you have already gotten along well, I suggest you absorb it as soon as possible. If it grows a little bigger, it will definitely become a proud dragon like other Hidden Dragons.

At this moment, the relationship between you should be the most solid. After you take it down, the relationship will have undergone a complete transformation, and everything will be easy to talk about. Little Jiangxue's Star Dragon is the best example."

"Mm." Er Wei didn't turn her head, just waved her hand and opened the Space Gate.

Only Han Jiangxue and Jiang Xiao were left in the space.

She said, "Go over there and sleep for a while. Summon the training dummy back and let it replace you during daily activities. Don't force yourself in the upper dimensions anymore."

Jiang Xiao said, "I still want to go to the Yi family."

Han Jiangxue looked at Jiang Xiao's appearance and asked, "It's still a few weeks before your next lecture date."

Jiang Xiao said, "No, I want to go back and watch the battle footage. I want to see the battle footage between Yi Tenghui and the Star Transformation duo before I arrived on the battlefield.

I want to see where Baze went, at least know how he escaped. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

Han Jiangxue's rare gentle face gradually returned to her usual frost-covered appearance, and her voice became a lot colder, "If we can find him, that would be even better."

Jiang Xiao nodded heavily. It was indeed difficult to find someone with teleportation star techniques to know where he went, but... being able to know how he escaped and at what point was very useful to Jiang Xiao.

First of all, Jiang Xiao could gain a deeper understanding of the other party's star techniques.

Secondly, after Jiang Xiao knew the other party's escape node, he could completely know whether his trump card had been exposed or not.

Finally, if he could really find Baze, it would be even more perfect!

How could there be a reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days?

For Jiang Xiao, he should chase thieves for a thousand days, kill thieves for a thousand days!

The battle at the Yi family took place a month ago, which should be easier to trace back than the battle with Layana.

No matter which battle it was, Jiang Xiao was prepared to watch it with a decoy.

If the decoy's body was damaged and its energy was consumed, then he would re-summon it.

Jiang Xiao had to restore these two battles completely and thoroughly.
