In the cold snowfield, under the dim sky.

Han Jiangxue was wearing snow camouflage, a white cotton hat, and dark blue goggles on her face, looking at the muscular figure in front of her.

The figure danced a giant steel blade with great force, making her a little distracted for a moment.

In the recent days of the Beijiang League, whether it was the preliminaries or the semi-finals, Jiang Xiao had always fought in a team of four. With the presence of Li Weiwei and Xia Yan, Jiang Xiao had always been calm in his fighting skills.

But now, it was the two siblings who teamed up to kill the enemy. Only then did Han Jiangxue realize that Jiang Xiao had grown to this point.

Back then, he and Erwei had been crawling around in the snowy field for more than a month. What had he experienced

The little poisonous little girl who was once chased by white ghosts disappeared and was replaced by a majestic warrior who was skilled in swordsmanship.

Especially the half-toothed fighting blade on his waist. From time to time, he was pulled out for close combat in his hands. Every time he used it, he would almost take away the life of a white ghost. How did he combine this short half-toothed fighting blade with the huge one? The blades are integrated and harmonious

Speaking of sword skills, Han Jiangxue admired Jiang Xiao even more.

Judging from Jiang Xiao's current swordsmanship, no one would doubt that he is a melee warrior.

Han Jiangxue finally understood with hindsight that he was not lying. What he said about having mastered the Xia family's swordsmanship was probably telling the truth.

It would be okay if it was hand-to-hand combat. After all, Han Jiangxue had some experience and could see some tricks.

But if we talk about sword skills alone, Han Jiangxue can no longer tell what level Jiang Xiao's skills have reached.

She just felt very comfortable,

Yes, that adjective is apt.

Han Jiangxue thinks that Jiang Xiao looks very comfortable when he kills enemies with a knife. There are no bells and whistles, and every move is extremely functional. The occasional wonderful moves will make people shine, and people will marvel at his superb skills. Skilled in sword skills.

Accompanied by a sound of tearing through the wind and snow, the giant steel blade fell heavily, beheading a white ghost with one blow.

The last white ghost died, and Jiang Xiao stepped towards the leader of the white ghost group, the white ghost witch.

The two of them were very lucky. On the second day after arriving here, they had already encountered two white ghost witches.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that they chose the most dangerous southeast route, and it also has a lot to do with the fact that the two of them are traveling very fast.

The longer and farther you go, the more extradimensional creatures you will encounter.

Under Han Jiangxue's gaze, it was certainly impossible for Jiang Xiao to pocket the White Ghost Witch's star beads and wait to sell them back for money. He will definitely absorb the White Ghost Witch completely.

At this moment, in the inner star chart, his blessing and bait have reached Silver Quality Level 2 (8/10).

It can be said that there is a long way to go to upgrade blessings and baits to gold quality.

Han Jiangxue came over and helped Jiang Xiao harvest the White Ghost Star Beads, while saying, "It seems that you have regarded this place as a playground."

Jiang Xiao smiled sheepishly. Confidence comes from strength, and strength comes from self-confidence. The two complement each other.

Under the leadership of Erwei, Jiang Xiao worked hard here for a month. This period of time indeed built up huge self-confidence for Jiang Xiao, and also made him understand the environment here, the characteristics of extra-dimensional creatures, and combat. The features are well understood.

"What kind of person is she?" Han Jiangxue asked curiously.

It is not easy to make Han Jiangxue, who is indifferent to worldly affairs, curious.

Jiang Xiao thought for a while, put the giant blade on his back, and pulled out the black half-tooth fighting blade from his waist. While harvesting the white ghost star beads, he said: "Gluttonous, stubborn, stupid, not good at talking, and unsophisticated. .”

Han Jiangxue:? ?

Jiang Xiao looked at Han Jiangxue's stunned look and couldn't help but smile and said: "Strong, very strong, very strong."

Han Jiangxue glanced at Jiang Xiao coldly and said, "That's your master after all. It's not good for her to hear."

"Yeah." Jiang Xiao nodded indifferently, and the two of them left the bodies on the ground and walked into the snow and wind again.

After walking in the dense forest for a long time, Han Jiangxue suddenly said: "We can't reach the Holy Ruins, and the outside will be guarded by night watchmen."

Jiang Xiao replied: "Believe me, I know their formation better than you."

Han Jiangxue raised her eyebrows curiously: "Huh?"

Jiang Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said, "She took me when we were in Xindanxi."

Jiang Xiao's words stopped suddenly because a bright light fell on his face.

The strong white light was extremely dazzling in the dim sky. Then, a rough man's voice came from the depths of the snow forest: "This is an important military area. Entry is prohibited. Leave immediately, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

Jiang Xiao also wore goggles, but had to squint his eyes under the bright light. He raised his hands high and shouted loudly: "Hello, I want to find your team member Erwei."

As soon as he finished speaking, the strong beam of light disappeared without a trace, leaving only the sound of the howling wind.

Facing the empty snow forest, the siblings suddenly felt an eerie feeling.

Jiang Xiao took a step forward, and the beam of light hit Jiang Xiao's face again, and the rough male voice came again: "Leave immediately, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences."

Jiang Xiao still raised his hands high and said, "I'm looking for Luan Hongying. She was once a light chaser. She became a night watchman not long ago and is on duty in this snowy field."

There was still no response from Xuelinli.

Jiang Xiao said cautiously: "I'm going to put down my right hand and pull out a half-tooth fighting blade from the side of my right leg. It is Erwei's weapon. You can help me give the weapon to her when she changes the guard. She’ll know who it is. Huh?”

Before Jiang Xiao finished speaking, he saw the bright flashlight floating in another direction.

What does it mean

Is this the night watchman showing him the way

Has he verified his identity? By what method

Jiang Xiao asked: "Over there?"

The bright flashlight still swayed into the snow forest on the right, and then disappeared.

Jiang Xiao walked to the right with doubts.

This walk lasted more than 3 hours.

Along the way, there were countless bright flashlights pointing the way for him.

In the wind and snow, Jiang Xiao already understood in his heart.

This group of people are conscientious night watchmen. They only stand guard and patrol, and they should not care about other people's trivial matters.

After Jiang Xiao expressed his intention to come, almost all the night watchmen on this snow forest defense line pointed out the way for Jiang Xiao.

What does this mean

Someone is helping Jiang Xiao.

Who is this guy? Is it Erwei himself

Erwei has expected Jiang Xiao to come back to find her

In the snow forest,

Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue followed this invisible line of defense and trekked for more than three hours, finally arriving at a defensive point that no longer showed the way.

The night watchman here shone a bright light on Jiang Xiao's goggles and said in a hoarse, even sinister voice: "Restricted area, leave."

Jiang Xiao's heart moved, it was obviously Erwei!

She is not the kind of person with bad taste. If she arranged it, then she should have known about Jiang Xiao's arrival from her teammates, right

So, she didn't arrange all this

So who is helping Jiang Xiao? There is no doubt that this person's position is not low. At least he can ask all the night watchmen on the defense line to help guide the way.

Jiang Xiao said: "You made it very hard for me to find you."

There was no response in the snow forest.

Jiang Xiao smiled at Han Jiangxue and walked forward.

Uh-huh!

The strong flashlight shone directly on Jiang Xiao's face, and his voice was hoarse and low, without any human emotion: "Restricted area, leave!"

"Wow, Erwei, you don't even recognize me anymore, what happened?" Jiang Xiao shouted loudly to the snow forest in the distance. From beginning to end, he never saw the familiar tall figure or the beam of the flashlight. It seemed to be coming from a ghost.

A few seconds later, the familiar hoarse voice came from the woods, finally with a hint of human emotion and a hint of stubbornness: "Restricted area, leave."

Jiang Xiao walked forward step by step, and finally saw clearly the dark figure leaning against the big tree in the distance. He couldn't help shouting: "Er Wei? You don't want me?"

The dark figure lowered his head and hid silently behind the tree.

This time, there were only two simple words, stubborn and blunt: "Leave."

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and the howling wind was accompanied by the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling, which made people feel a little chilled.

Han Jiangxue looked at Jiang Xiao's back quietly. She didn't know what happened between the master and apprentice. She just hoped that Jiang Xiao wouldn't be sad because of this.

After a while, Jiang Xiao slowly turned around and left.

In the snow forest, the dark figure turned his head slightly and saw the figure gradually leaving.

There was a hint of loneliness in the narrow Danfeng eyes. Then, she straightened her body, leaned her back against the big tree, slowly closed her eyes, and sighed softly.

next moment,

The huge figure leaning against the big tree suddenly opened its eyes and twitched its nose a few times.

Sniff~sniff~

In the distance, Jiang Xiao took out a military bag from Han Jiangxue's broken bag, and took out a grilled cod lunch box and two palm-sized stainless steel wine bottles from the bag.

The most disgusting thing is that he opened the lid of a roasted cod box.

It was a silent battle, and after more than ten seconds, it ended with the tall figure ducking out from behind the tree.

Baby, I can't cure you anymore

Jiang Xiao closed the lid of the grilled cod food box, lifted and clamped it with his left hand and left arm, freed his right hand, and waved happily to the figure in the distance.

As the figure slowly walked out of the snow forest, her hoarse voice was mixed with the last trace of stubbornness: "Didn't I let you go?"

Jiang Xiao seemed not to hear it. He looked at her face that was frozen pale and asked, "Are you wronged?"

The huge figure trembled slightly and said no more words.

This sentence seems familiar.
