Nine Star Burden

Chapter 133 - Here Comes the Toxic Healer!



Chapter 133: Here Comes the Toxic Healer!

“What do you mean? Jiangxue?” Xia Yan asked.

“This group of savages is obviously hunting, and it’s not the best option for us to get into a battle with them now. Pay attention to the situation, be alert, and keep close tabs on the surroundings. Wait for my order to enter the battlefield.”

“Roger.”

“Roger.” Xia Yan and Li Weiyi both acknowledged and noticed that two other men holding stone knives had popped out of the grass and were advancing towards the Ape Ghoul with murderous gazes.

The Ape Ghoul smashed its hands against the ground and yelled before dashing forward.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The ten-odd female savages were standing or kneeling while ambushing for far away, each pulling their longbows and launching sharp arrows with a whoosh.

The sharp arrow was not an ordinary one, and the wooden tip seemed to be emitting a purple glow.

It was said in books that the Ape Ghouls had extremely high defensive abilities and perhaps, their skin was easily damaged, but their bodies were difficult to penetrate because they were hard like steel.

However, the numerous sharp arrows were shot accurately at the body of the Ape Ghoul and pierced deep into its flesh, after which rays of purple began to spread outwards.

The scene was bloody yet magical and whimsical with a tinge of bizarreness.

Next, they heard the angry roars of the Ape Ghoul, but their target had never changed. Even though it had been shot by countless arrows and was severely injured, it still dashed towards the man’s stone knife.

An even bloodier scene appeared as the man who had been targeted by the Ape Ghoul got killed by its strong pair of arms!

Not only did he die on the spot, but his body was also even crushed and ripped into two halves by the angry Ape Ghoul.

If the Ape Ghoul was given more time, Jiang Xiao believed that the man’s body would have been mushed up.

The bloody scene was really hair-raising, and the two remaining male swordsmen were completely dauntless. They maniacally stabbed the Ape Ghoul and hacked it with their stone swords.

The one-meter long stone sword also emitted a faint purple light.

Jiang Xiao knew that it was the Star Technique unique to them, Resentment.

The Ape Ghoul severed the head of the corpse with one hand and pried it open like it was crushing an egg, after which it ate it straight away.

He’s probably eating the Star Bead?

The arrows were still being shot rapidly at the Ape Ghoul and the two men did not retreat. Instead, they continued to chop and hack the Ape Ghoul with their stone swords.

However, the Ape Ghoul did not die immediately, perhaps because their knives were not sharp enough, or they were not using enough force. Or maybe, the Ape Ghoul’s defense was too strong.

The menacing Ape Ghoul grabbed the sword of one of the male savages and, while it was fighting with the savage, its body was already covered in arrows.

Jiang Xiao originally thought that the Ape Ghoul was going to kill the man again, but things took an unexpected twist.

The immensely powerful and strong Ape Ghoul that seemed even more overpowering than the savage actually lost to him?

No, in terms of physical attributes, the savage was definitely no match for the Ape Ghoul because the two of them did not belong on the same level at all. In that case, the only possible reason for the scene taking place in front of them was the Star Techniques of the savage and the female Archer.

The Ape Ghoul roared and silver rays suddenly flashed on its body, after which its brownish-black eyes immediately turned red. After tying with the savage, it regained the upper hand again.

The battle was truly full of twists and turns, and the continuous changes made Jiang Xiao feel extremely surprised.

He reckoned that it should be Brutality, the Star Technique of the Ape Ghoul.

Xia Yan had that Star Technique too and she once told Jiang Xiao, “Xiaopi, you don’t want to see this Star Technique. If I use this Star Technique one day, I hope you will wake me up.”

Although Xia Yan did not use that Star Technique in front of Jiang Xiao, he had finally seen its effects in person.

As its name implied, it was indeed maniacal and violent.

The Ape Ghoul seemed to have endless strength and energy, and its movements also sped up rapidly with great force.

He kicked away another male savage and ripped the one in his hand apart before dashing towards the female Archers.

The launching of arrows never once stopped.

The specks of purple light constantly spread out on the Ape Ghouls’ bodies and Jiang Xiao initially thought that he would see a killing frenzy. To his surprise, there were so many twists and turns.

The Ape Ghoul did not get to be suave for a few seconds, apart from the first few moves it pulled. However, while it was running, it got shot by multiple arrows, slowing it down again.

Its badly mangled body and flesh were gruesome, and the corpse that it was holding onto had also slipped out of its hand and fallen onto the ground. Gradually, it began to jog instead of sprint, and over time, it seemed to have started walking instead.

In the end, the walking pace of the Ape Ghoul began to slow down further as it started to stagger while howling and wailing. Its body also seemed to have fallen down like a jade pillar, after which it fell straight onto the ground and landed beside a female Archer.

It was still like an annoying fly that could not be killed.

Did the savages really win the battle?

Two male swordsmen amongst the savages ended up dying. The other one was seriously injured and it was unknown if he could be cured.

There is only one Ape Ghoul. Is it enough for the savages?

Ape Ghouls also live in clusters. What if this Ape Ghoul isn’t alone? What if there are two? What if there’s a group of them?

Jiang Xiao saw the cruel scene again and the female Archers did not choose to hold up the seriously wounded male savage. Instead, they resolutely decided to cut his throat.

Their former companion seemed to have become a burden for the team, or maybe… he had become food for them?

The information in the books stated that the savages rarely ate those of their own kind. Jiang Xiao reckoned that while they probably wouldn’t attack their own kind, they wouldn’t let corpses go to waste, as they could be considered food sources.

The grass around the female Archers swayed and rustled. Jiang Xiao thought, Is there someone hiding and ambushing here?

The three savages climbed up and hurriedly proceeded to pick up the corpse, seemingly having seen it as a type of food that they lugged on their shoulders.

The three savages did not have any weapons in their hands, and their clothes were all tattered and torn. They seemed to be low-class citizens who had to work extremely hard for a living.

However, it was also fortunate that the three savages did not become suicide squads.

The group of female Archers had also surrounded the dead Ape Ghoul.

Han Jiangxue’s eyes narrowed and she seemed to have seen that the female Archer was keeping her guard up. Hence, she frantically exclaimed, “Go!”

There were 11 Silver Quality female Archers and three Brass Quality savages. Should they really go against them?

While Jiang Xiao was still pondering, Xia Yan and Li Weiyi subconsciously rushed forward.

Upon hearing her owner’s command, the husky Xia Yan naturally reacted.

What did Li Weiyi do?

Xia Yan whipped her sword out and a Flame Arc was thrown out. It then dashed towards the female Archers who were collecting arrows around the Ape Ghoul.

After Xia Yan whipped her sword out, Li Weiyi put up his Black Shield and the two melee fighters rushed forward, only to hear a clunking sound when an arrow hit the Black Shield.

Terrifying!

A slight mistake would cause them to die on the spot!

The female Archers responded extremely quickly, and she immediately pulled the string of her crossbow back before aiming it at the incoming attackers.

Han Jiangxue spread her arms open and a tornado seemed to have formed beneath the feet of the two female Archers as they yelled and were blown up into the air.

Everyone got busy while the beasts began flaunting their teeth and claws.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Han Jiangxue’s slender fingers curled up and the tornados beneath the feet of the female Archers blew up.

Barren Wind was extremely formidable.

Xia Yan picked up the giant sword and yelled, “Two.”

The Black Shield in Li Weiyi’s hand disappeared instantly, and Xia Yan’s figure immediately sprang out before twirling in the air. She then dodged another arrow and pierced the long blade directly into a female Archer’s chest.

The sword was then pieced directly into the giant tree behind her, like a stick of candied haw.

Silver Quality, Skill Point +1.

Xia Yan stepped on the waist and abdomen of the female Archer with one foot and pulled out the sword that she had stabbed right into her chest. She then looked at the female Archer in the sky and threw a fireball at her.

That was probably when her hand wasn’t long enough.

Li Weiyi was holding the Black Shield and continuously leaning towards Xia Yan. When the fifth female Archer was thrown up into the sky, the two female Archers seemed to have recovered from the shock.

Their physical fitness was superb and, after a short period of panic, they quickly adapted and found their center of gravity in the air.

Xia Yan got a great shock, and before Li Weiyi arrived, she managed to parry several arrows with her blade.

“Ah~” A shrilling but alluring female voice suddenly sounded and a figure appeared on Li Weiyi’s right.

Li Weiyi shuddered and almost dropped his shield.

He knew it.

The toxic healer was here!
