Chapter 107: Gold Quality Green Glow!
A skull slowly appeared from the mud and it carefully tried to observe the situation in the Holy Ground.
However, at the moment that his head popped out of the mud, a pair of claws smashed onto it immediately, after which it was lugged out forcefully. That resulted in a fight amongst the White Ghouls.
Second Last whipped out a large bunch of things using her right hand which was covered in blood and flesh. As her steel palm was covered in flames, she used it to burn the flesh that she had pulled, revealing some Star Beads that were covered in stardust.
Without saying anything, she quickly ran to the other spot and absorbed a Star Bead.
Leapfrogging, Skill Point +5.
As the large bunch of White Ghouls surged in, Jiang Xiao decided not to be stingy with his own Skill Points. He immediately put five Skill Points into his Basic Technique, Dagger Mastery.
His Dagger Mastery was upgraded from Brass Quality Level 5 to Silver Quality Level 0.
He would require 10 Skill Points to upgrade by one level.
At this moment, Jiang Xiao absorbed the White Ghoul Star Beads while various tricks and techniques popped up into his head. He began shivering involuntarily, and then he whipped out his dagger with his right hand. He seemed to have been indulging in that technique for a long time and so felt a sense of security.
Jiang Xiao continued to absorb the White Ghoul Star Beads while leaving Imprints on his teammates.
The scenes going on in Holy Ground were absolutely astonishing. The White Ghoul Witch Star Beads were scattered all over and rolling about on the ground. It was just like a gold mine.
Finally, the White Ghouls surged in from all directions, and a piece of information popped up into Jiang Xiaoâs mind again.
Leapfrogging, Skill Point +5.
Internal Star Map, please do not assign me to Han Jiangxueâs, Li Weiyiâs, and Xia Yanâs team.
Please let me continue staying with Second LastâŠ
After losing most of their members, the White Ghouls underground stopped kicking up a ruckus.
Their enemies had also become White Ghouls that were coming from all directions.
Just like Jiang Xiao, Hai Tianqing picked up a bunch of Star Beads from the ground and absorbed them rapidly before driving his sapphire scepter into the ground.
However, this time, the sapphire did not electrocute Hai Tianqing or any of the team members.
Could it be that this attack works like Imprint too?
Jiang Xiao thought about it again. Hai Tianqing didnât touch his body at all.
Could it be that topaz scepter just now?
Didnât it help everyone recover? Will there be Imprint effects too?
The topaz scepter was the only explanation for everything. After all, its light was the only thing that was scattered on everyone when the Holy Ground was ruined.
Li Weiyi had a miserable look on his face. He was carrying his shield and protecting everyone while retreating to the corner of the stone wall. âWe shall not go down. Although the enemies wonât come out, our energy will be depleted because of these White Ghouls.â
While he spoke, the mud surged and turned into mud swamps. Numerous mud snakes sprang out and dragged all the other creatures away into the flowing Mud River.
Even without the mud snakes, they would be engulfed sooner or later, because their ankles had already sunk into the Mud River.
âSwamp?â Li Weiyi asked in shock.
All of a sudden, a mud snake coiled around Li Weiyiâs leg and dragged him down quickly.
Hai Tianqing hurriedly grabbed Li Weiyiâs palm and pulled him up painstakinglyâŠ
Although Jiang Xiao and the other children had no idea, the Guardians Of The Night were well aware that the Star Techniques Mud River and Mud Marsh could only be possessed by the heads of the mercenary corps.
Now that Mud Marsh had appeared, what about the mercenary commander?
Had he died in the battle?
âCaptainâŠâ Second Last crushed the skull of a White Ghoul with her foot and looked down, though she was not supposed to have much of an expression.
The menacing Second Last actually showed a rare tinge of melancholy as she said, âAre you wishing that a passerby will bring home the news of you dying on the battlefield, just like I did?â
Her pitiful words were drowned out by the roaring of the White Ghouls.
It was just like heroes who eventually died without gaining any recognition and without anyone knowing.
Second Last, who had slipped into a whirlpool of feelings of agony, continued fighting nonetheless. However, she seemed to have been immersed in another world and was still fighting menacingly, though she seemed to have lost her spirit.
The clear and crisp sound of Bell awakened Second Last as she grabbed the shrieking White Ghoul with one hand and pushed its body while striding forward, keeping her eyes fixed on Jiang Xiao.
âSpeak!â Jiang Xiao exclaimed.
The three other students were puzzled and astonished.
Second Last continuously kicked the White Ghouls that she walked past and said, âThe person who used Mud Marsh is the same as the one we slaughtered in the snowfield. Only I can knock him out.â
âAre you trying to go all out again?â Jiang Xiao questioned sternly.
Han Jiangxue manipulated Barren Wind and supported her team while staring at Jiang Xiao in amazement.
She had never seen such a serious and stern side to Jiang Xiao before, and she almost couldnât imagine the mischievous Jiang Xiao being austere.
He would laugh, be mischievous, roll his eyes, and lament.
However, she had never seen him flaring up.
Second Lastâs expression changed her little and her reddened eyes widened slightly, making her look even more horrifying. âYouâre lecturing me.â
âYes,â Jiang Xiao answered without hesitation while absorbing the White Ghoul Star Beads.
Hey, why is there a White Ghoul Witch Star Bead?
Donât stir trouble hereâŠ
âWhat solutions do you have?â Second Last was slaughtering the White Ghouls menacingly and pressing them beneath her feet.
Even though she had been bitten by the claws and sharp fangs of the White Ghouls, they could not break her defense at all. In fact, they found it hard to bite her.
âWe have to brainstorm for solutions!â Jiang Xiao yelled. âWhereâs that man?â
Second Last paused in her actions, seemingly having realized that Jiang Xiao already had his own plans.
She hasnât been in contact with Jiang Xiao for too long of a time, but ever since he rescued her from the shackles, she managed to gain a rough understanding of him after observing his reactions.
She found him to be trustworthy.
Second Last crinkled her nose, then her huge body was immediately engulfed by a group of White Ghouls. As a result, the White Ghouls shrieked loudly and frantically trying to avoid her.
âYou, clean up the scene,â Jiang Xiao said hurriedly. He then said to Han Jiangxue, âMove closer to her, quickly. The two of us will do. I canât control it well when there are more people.â
Han Jiangxue frowned, feeling particularly conflicted when facing the battlefield.
Option 1: Fly out of the Holy Ground with Jiang Xiao and attempt to flee.
Option 2: Follow Jiang Xiaoâs commands and get rid of the enemiesâ attacks and Mud Marsh.
Han Jiangxue was hesitant, feeling stuck in a dilemma.
Second Last flung the White Ghoul way with an immense force that could not be resisted. She broke free from the claws of the White Ghouls, stepped on them, and arrived on the space below.
âYou want me to be my commander,â Second Last said with a smirk as if she was not in the battle at all.
âYou can say so,â Jiang Xiao answered. At the next moment, Han Jiangxue and Jiang Xiao flew towards Second Last.
In the end, Xia Yan and Li Weiyi chose to let go.
The two of them had accompanied Han Jiangxue there and knew that it was difficult for her to make a decision to run away with Jiang Xiao.
They decided to trust him again like they did for the past few months.
âClear up, hurry!â Jiang Xiao hurriedly urged.
Second Last spread her arms open and tilted her head backward, after which the fire vortex formed again.
Han Jiangxue constantly blew the White Ghouls out of the safe area and into the fire vortex.
Second Last stepped on the mud and continuously slid down. However, the fire vortex seemed to be stirring the mud up and piling them on the spot near Second Last.
âSecond Last, you are crazy!â Hai Tianqing shouted angrily. She controlled the range of the vortex well and did not hurt Hai Tianqing who was pressed against the wall. However, Hai Tianqing felt that she was making a suicidal move.
âAre you sure heâs below!?!â Jiang Xiao asked aloud, watching the mud snakes get destroyed by the flames.
âOkay.â The Mud Marsh had risen up to Second Lastâs knees and several mud snakes crawled up her legs to drag her down.
âHan Jiangxue, pay attention to your Sky Smasher,â Jiang Xiao yelled. âSecond Last, throw the target into Han Jiangxueâs Sky Smasher as soon as you see it. Donât explode with him.â
While speaking, Jiang Xiao raised his fist high, which was covered in rich Green Glow.
In Jiang Xiaoâs internal Big Dipper Star Map, the second star slot had already become bright gold.
Green Glow quality upgraded! Gold Quality Level 0!
Endurance quality upgraded! Gold Quality Level 0!
A huge pit appeared in the viscous Mud Marsh which was spilling with Star Power.
Hai Tianqing was dumbfounded and forgot to press the White Ghoul under his feet. Instead, he stared at Jiang Xiao foolishly.
Itâs the Gold Quality Mud Marsh!
No matter how powerful and abundant oneâs Star Power may be, they wonât be able to create a huge pit with just one punch!
Their fist will only sink into the mud and be trapped.
Hence, Green Glow is the only thing that can shake off the mud.
Is that really the effect that Green Glow should have?
Even though Jiang Xiaoâs Green Glow was of Silver Quality, the repelling effects shouldnât have been so severe.
At this moment, Hai Tianqing suddenly thought about an ancient person.
