Nine Star Burden

Chapter 102 - You Need Treatment



Chapter 102: You Need Treatment

Jiang Xiao had his own plan for the Rules Star Bead that Second Last had given him, which was from an Awakened from the Galaxy Stage.

Mud River and Mud Marsh were the only mud Star Techniques that attracted Jiang Xiao.

They were powerful Gold Quality Star Techniques.

Jiang Xiao really liked the Silver Quality Star Technique, Mud Hand, which he thought would be useful for controlling others.

However, he hesitated for a long while and decided not to acquire the mud Star Techniques.

Second Last was correct. The number of star slots was limited, especially for Jiang Xiao who only had nine star slots. Hence, every star slot was undoubtedly very precious to him.

Even though Jiang Xiao did not have a choice and had to accept the Star Techniques in his first three star slots passively, the effects were extraordinary and it gave Jiang Xiao’s career as an Awakened a great opening.

Jiang Xiao had plenty of time to grow and he didn’t think that the Star Techniques Mud River and Mud Marsh would be the most suitable for him.

A controlling Stat Technique like Mud Hand would not bring about great benefits for him either.

For now, Mud Shield and Mud Hand would be able to help Jiang Xiao, but they seemed rather restrictive because they had to be connected to mud.

Of course, under most circumstances, Jiang Xiao’s battlefield would probably contain mud, but he had no choice but to consider that factor since he had very few star slots.

Most importantly, those Star Beads were harder to absorb for Jiang Xiao.

At this stage, Jiang Xiao could not afford to go to Russia and find the Stinky Mud Dimensional Spaces to upgrade his Mud Shield.

In the future, Jiang Xiao would probably stay rooted to a certain place and acquire the Star Techniques of the local ground. He reckoned that that would be the only way he could obtain the greatest benefits.

At the end of the day, he still had too few star slots.

If he also had 28 star slots like Second Last, 30 star slot like Han Jiangxue, or 25 star slots like Li Weiyi, he would definitely acquire all of the mud Star Techniques, such as Mud Hand, Mud Wall, Mud River, and Mud Marsh.

Jiang Xiao’s pathetic number of star slots forced him to look ahead and focus more on the future.

For people like Jiang Xiao who had internal Star Maps, the quality of Star Techniques was not the most important, but the attributes and restrictions of the Star Techniques.

Li Weiyi’s Black Shield was an excellent technique which seemed to have no restrictions at all.

Jiang Xiao was well aware of where he stood. He was just there to provide assistance and not an almighty god.

In retrospect, the White Ghoul Star Beads were really ethical. Not only did they contain the Melee Green Glow, but they also contained the defensive Star Technique, Endurance. To Jiang Xiao, it was considered an incredible Star Technique.

From a long-term perspective, Jiang Xiao would have to absorb a large number of White Ghoul Star Beads in order to acquire defensive abilities.

“After crossing this mountain, we’ll reach the Holy Ground,” said Second Last.

Jiang Xiao looked over and was greeted with the sight of the tall snow mountain. When I stand at the submit, will I be able to grasp some stardust?

“I’ll take you away. When we go down the mountains, you may walk on your own while I replenish my Star Power,” Second Last said while walking and striding. She then adjusted the straps of the mercenary uniform that she was wearing.

What’s going on?

Second Last wrapped the straps of her uniform around Jiang Xiao and said to him, “Grab it tightly.”

Jiang Xiao grabbed Second Last’s shoulders and she flew out at the next moment.

She did not walk upright and instead advanced forward quickly with all fours on the ground, resembling a cat. It was no wonder that she did not believe in Jiang Xiao’s power. She even tied him to her using the straps.

Her Star Map slowly ignited on her body and engulfed Jiang Xiao too since they were in close proximity, making it difficult for Jiang Xiao to see everything clearly.

One of the star slots exuded a silvery glow and seemed to be helping Second Last move forward. She climbed up the snowy mountains effortlessly, as if she were on flat terrain. She would sometimes climb up steep mountains too. She was engaging all four limbs and looked just as agile and nimble as a rock climber.

That reminded Jiang Xiao of Lara Croft who could climb almost every terrain, regardless of how small the rocks were or how much inertia there was.

As long as the buttons on the controller were pressed correctly, the godly Lara Croft would never slide or fall.

There would definitely be thrills and close shaves, but those were nothing to panic about because they were all just game settings. If the correct buttons were pressed, Lara Croft would definitely be able to go up!

Second Last leaped from cliff to cliff without any equipment, for her claws were just like ice picks. Be it snow or ice, or even exposed stone walls, she would definitely be able to stick her claws in.

She didn’t need any ice picks for her feet either because she could use them to form a hole in the cliff with the help of her Star Power and Star Techniques.

Jiang Xiao could no longer compare her to an animal because he didn’t know what she resembled. Previously, he had seen her behaving like a cat during the battle. He had also seen her behaving like a panther. And now, she was like Tarzan…

“What Star Technique is this?” Jiang Xiao asked while following Second Last, who was climbing the rocks speedily. He thought to himself, I know you won’t tell me everything, but you should at least tell me one?

As soon as he asked, Second Last suddenly tilted her body towards the side while the rock fell.

Second Last stuck her hand into the cliff and glided about half a meter down the slope before regaining her balance.

Jiang Xiao was so scared that his heart almost leaped out of his chest. Pieces of rubble hit his body and put an end to the topic.

Unfortunately, it began again.

Jiang Xiao thought to himself in despair, I was just asking a question. Do I deserve such a huge punishment?

At the same time, three parties were fighting each other on the other side of the tall, snowy mountain.

The snowy White Ghouls were undoubtedly the greatest army.

They were ruthlessly attacking the invaders, and some of them were blinded by menace for they ended up killing even their own comrades.

A group of Guardians Of The Night dressed in black was roaming in front of each cave, sometimes retreating into the cave to continue guarding, seemingly looking for a way to rush out.

On the other hand, another team of mercenaries was walking in a maze that had mud walls while keeping their guards up cleverly. They moved steadily, step by step, towards the center of the White Ghouls.

Even though the White Ghouls were severely injured, they were different from those outside the cave because there seemed to be no fear within them at all.

When Jiang Xiao was being besieged by the White Ghouls back then, Second Last flung a White Ghoul away forcefully, causing the White Ghouls, which had low IQ, to hesitate a little and pause in their footsteps.

However, such a situation would not occur here, regardless of how many casualties there were. They were simply advancing forward and retreating from time to time.

It was because there were too many main points.

Among the numerous White Ghouls, the rare White Ghoul Witches would appear frequently. They roared loudly in a unique way.

At the foot of the endless mountain range, there seemed to be some peculiar White Ghouls and special White Ghoul Witches.

There were tens of thousands of soldiers and it resembled a huge ancient war.

In the chaotic battlefield in the cave, the forces were fighting hard and going against each other from all directions.

It was the place where the Guardians Of The Night would meet the mercenaries.

Leaning against the stone wall and coughing with some blood at the corners of her lips, she coughed gently and said, “I need… a… sword…”

“No, you need treatment. Li Weiyi, go up,” said a warm and gentle male voice.

The tall Li Weiyi carried his shield and struck the cave.

He retreated quickly while igniting his Star Map, and a gold star slot lit up all of a sudden.

Ka-cha!

A virtual scepter appeared in the man’s hand and was then driven into the ground.

Instantly…

The exquisite scepter was almost one meter long and exuded a dazzling light that engulfed everyone in the cave.

Xia Yan’s eyes suddenly widened and she looked up at him in disbelief before saying, “Hai Tianqing!? You’re actually a Medical Awakened!?!”
