Silver Quality!

Chapter 28 Silver Quality!

Inside the natural cave, eight hours had passed. The two took turns keeping watch, Jiang Xiao on the first shift, Xia Yan on the second.

At this time, Xia Yan, calculating the time, gently kicked Jiang Xiao, who had wrapped himself in a sleeping bag.

Xia Yan's kick was very light, because she saw faint Star Power fluctuations around Jiang Xiao's body. She knew that although he appeared to be sleeping, he was actually awake, constantly absorbing Star Power.

Jiang Xiao opened his eyes, crawled out of the sleeping bag, slowly stood up, and stretched his body.

He hadn't slept soundly, seeming to be in a half-dreaming state. Perhaps because he had something on his mind, an hour earlier, Jiang Xiao simply stopped sleeping, closed his eyes, and began to absorb Star Power.

Unfortunately, his Star Power was still at Star Dust Stage: Lv.3.

No matter how much Star Power he absorbed, the total amount wouldn't increase, but Jiang Xiao tirelessly replaced the Star Power in his body time and time again, impacting the Star Chart within him, just not knowing if this method was useful at all.

Since he couldn't sleep, he had to find something to do.

Xia Yan carried the Great Blade on her back, not extinguishing the campfire, but adding more branches.

The two were prepared to live here for a while, which meant that they needed to hunt in more distant places, after all, the smell of blood would attract a large number of White Ghouls, which was not what they wanted to see.

This world had never changed its colors.

The first time Jiang Xiao came here, he was shocked by the beauty of the starry sky and marveled at the dreamlike colors of the aurora in the sky.

But after only one day, Jiang Xiao already began to miss the light of day and the pitch-black night.

This half-light, half-dark world was not suitable for an earthling like Jiang Xiao.

The two traveled a long distance, encountering a few White Ghouls along the way, but with Xia Yan holding the Great Blade, flames raging, and the surging Star Power released, the White Ghouls encountered along the way did not choose to hunt them.

It wasn't until the two had walked for an hour in this snow-covered Snowy Plains that they truly began to enter hunting mode.

Xia Yan held a dagger, exhaling wisps of white mist, carving marks on the trees along the way, recording the direction they came from.

Suddenly, Xia Yan's body paused, startled.

She heard a faint sound, and what made Xia Yan even more frightened was that the sound was right beside her, extremely close.

This was a hunter that blended into the snow, lying in the snowdrift for who knows how long, forming an inconspicuous outline under the blowing wind and snow.

Xia Yan held the dagger and slowly retreated, tilting her head slightly towards Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao slowly put down his marching bag, and following the direction of Xia Yan's gaze, saw the ultimate old schemer! Xia Yan had almost walked up to its face, and it still hadn't moved! What patience! This was the patience a good hunter should have, its target was not just one person, but to tear both Xia Yan and Jiang Xiao to shreds.

Or maybe... was it just asleep? Had Jiang Xiao overestimated it?

Jiang Xiao thought about it, drew out his dagger, and slowly walked forward, gradually approaching the almost imperceptible human-shaped outline. Jiang Xiao's heart thumped wildly.

Could this be his first kill in the true sense? Jiang Xiao gripped the dagger and stabbed down fiercely.

Bang! The snow suddenly exploded, a Cyan Glow flashed, and the ultimate old schemer headbutted Jiang Xiao out.

Sure enough, it wasn't asleep, it had far-reaching plans!

A good opponent... bull, if Jiang Xiao could last 1 minute this time, he'd win.

Xia Yan put one hand behind her, gripping the hilt of her blade. She sensed the patience and skill of this White Ghoul, knowing that this guy should be stronger, so she also raised her vigilance.

But this time, Xia Yan discovered that the situation had changed.

Jiang Xiao's mentality had changed, and his combat style had also changed.

During the brief respite, Jiang Xiao carefully considered his own situation.

Yes, Jiang Xiao abandoned the idea of "killing the enemy," which was impossible, and switched to a style of actively provoking and fully defending.

Discarding the cumbersome dagger, Jiang Xiao's fist shone with light. He used Cyan Glow repeatedly to distance himself from the White Ghoul, and tried his best to block the White Ghoul's sharp teeth and claws, advancing and retreating erratically in the snow, dodging left and right.

Xia Yan's eyes lit up slightly. After watching intently for more than 20 seconds, she actually took out the military water bottle hanging from her waist and took a warm sip of hot water.

Looks like this kid's adaptability is not bad.

Jiang Xiao fought and retreated, his body accumulating wounds, blood streaming down his face, looking extremely miserable.

A Cyan Glow emerged, and the fist finally met the sharp claw joint. The White Ghoul's body was once again knocked back several steps, and Jiang Xiao once again bought himself a moment to breathe.

Whoosh! Seizing this opportunity, a white light descended from the sky and landed on Jiang Xiao, slowly healing his wounds and restoring his vitality.

"Don't let it succeed, you're smarter than it," Xia Yan said suddenly, holding her thermos cup.

Jiang Xiao was shocked and suddenly used all his strength, covering half of his body with cyan light, and crashed into the ferocious, hungry White Ghoul.

Bang! The knock-back effect of Cyan Glow is truly a divine skill among divine skills, simple yet extremely practical, directly shifting the battlefield again.

In this sparsely wooded Snowy Forest, there are many small open spaces, but even more closely connected trees. Once the White Ghoul pulls the battlefield close to the trees, it will be extremely disadvantageous for Jiang Xiao.

Even if there is only a solitary tree trunk, the White Ghoul can make all sorts of tricks. This guy is like a nimble monkey, too much like an ape.

"Hold on for another minute, and I'll reward you with a drink of water," Xia Yan finally had a hint of a smile on her face.

Jiang Xiao gasped for breath, retreating erratically. A white Blessing light descended from the sky again. At the same time, he held a Star Bead in one hand, and specks of starlight were absorbed into his body.

In his mind, a message was imprinted:

"Star Technique Quality Improved!

Cyan Glow, Silver Quality Lv.1,

Endurance, Silver Quality Lv.1."

Beside him, Xia Yan said with a charming smile, "Little Pi, I like brave men, and I like men who fight with their brains even more."

The White Ghoul was knocked away, rolled nimbly twice, grabbed a tree trunk with one hand, and scurried up the tree in a flash.

But Jiang Xiao was not flustered, taking the opportunity to frantically Bless himself.

Perhaps seeing that its prey was frantically buffing itself, the White Ghoul's not-so-high intelligence understood that a war of attrition did not seem like a good choice.

Bang! The White Ghoul's foot made heavy, muffled contact with the giant pine tree, and flakes of snow fell rustling down. In the midst of this snow-covered sky, a snow-white figure suddenly darted out.

On that dark ghost face, the scarlet eyes became the most abrupt color in the white snow.

Jiang Xiao clenched his right hand into a fist, and the Big Dipper Star Chart quietly emerged. On the second Star Chart slot, the light suddenly lit up.

Xia Yan was shocked and hurriedly shouted, "Dodge!"

She could never have imagined that Jiang Xiao, who had a very strong adaptability, would suddenly return to the state he was in when he first arrived here.

Facing the fiercely pouncing White Ghoul, Jiang Xiao changed his style, his feet tensed, and he rushed up fiercely: "I love you too!"

Xia Yan's eyes widened instantly as she looked at the abruptly emerging Star Chart. The second Star Slot actually flickered with a dazzling silver glow! Xia Yan's hand loosened, and the military water bottle fell to the ground, spilling hot water that melted the thick snow beneath her feet.
