"Yours." Han Jiangxue walked to Jiang Xiao's side, took the White Ghoul Witch's corpse out of the Space Coffin, and threw it next to Jiang Xiao.

"Thanks," Jiang Xiao said gratefully, looking at the corpse at his feet and sighing.

This White Ghoul Witch looked similar to a White Ghoul but was much thinner, like a stick. He wondered how its frail body survived in such a harsh environment.

Its cheeks were pale, bloodless, and very old, truly like a dried corpse.

"Seven days, and we've encountered two White Ghoul Witches. We're already extremely lucky. After absorbing this Star Bead, do you have the confidence to upgrade the 'Blessing' Star Technique to Silver Quality?" Han Jiangxue asked.

Jiang Xiao endured the pain, crushed the "200,000 Ocean Coins," and gently shook his head. In the second section of the template, the first and second Star Techniques had also changed slightly.

1. Blessing, Bronze Quality Lv.4. 2. Lure, Bronze Quality Lv.4.

Jiang Xiao still had 4 Skill Points, which could raise this Star Technique to Lv.8, but no matter how he calculated it, he was still a few minor levels short.

"What is that?" Jiang Xiao looked up at Han Jiangxue, suddenly seeing a red smoke rising in the sky not far behind the girl.

In this dim environment, normal red smoke wouldn't be very noticeable.

However, that smoke was incredibly bright, like a firework.

"Someone's asking for help." Han Jiangxue turned her head and said with a frown.

"Should we go take a look?" Jiang Xiao asked.

Xia Yan explained to Jiang Xiao, "This Signal Flare isn't essentially for us to see, but for the Guardian Teams here. As fellow Awakened, seeing this Signal Flare, the information you receive isn't that someone is asking for help, but that a team is telling you there's danger there, so don't approach."

"They're approaching us." Han Jiangxue frowned, seeing the second flare. It seemed to be coming from within this Snowy Forest where the Trio was located! The other party was likely fleeing at their fastest speed, and the direction they chose was Northwest, which was the way back to the city.

The other team had clearly ventured deeper into the Southeast Route than Jiang Xiao's team. He wondered what kind of Different Dimension Creatures could make a team with such confidence encounter them.

Besides White Ghouls, weren't there only White Ghoul Witches here?

Xia Yan said urgently, "Let's go. If we don't leave soon, they'll be right on top of us."

Han Jiangxue suddenly said, "The most powerful Different Dimension Creature team in the Snowy Plains is the White Ghoul Legion led by a White Ghoul Witch. This means they are likely being chased by a White Ghoul Witch."

Xia Yan was slightly taken aback. "You mean?"

"He needs this," Han Jiangxue gestured to Jiang Xiao beside her.

"Xue Xue, are you really planning to do something reckless?" Xia Yan said with a serious expression.

Han Jiangxue ignored Xia Yan, directly opened the Space Coffin, reached inside, and pulled out the corpses of the two White Ghouls, emptying the Space Coffin.

"Oh dear, Jiang Xiaopi, am I usually good to you? Quickly help me persuade your sister." Xia Yan stomped her feet anxiously. From the Deep Forest in the distance, the roars of White Ghouls could already be heard.

"Han Jiangxue, let's go," Jiang Xiao said urgently.

"You all seem to misunderstand the situation. In our current predicament, even if we run with all our might, we won't escape." Han Jiangxue quickly walked away, leaving the snowy ground littered with corpses. The two, helpless, could only follow.

After walking for more than a hundred meters, not far from the battlefield, Han Jiangxue stopped and hid behind a large tree.

Slowly, the entire Snowy Forest seemed to tremble, as if thousands of troops were galloping.

The three of them cautiously hid behind the tree. In their sight, a dark figure was running and tumbling, desperately trying to escape. As he crossed mountains and rivers, searching for a glimmer of hope for survival, he suddenly saw a scene of rivers of blood.

Yes, in the vast Snowy Forest, the fleeing Awakened saw the sea of blood and mountains of corpses left by Jiang Xiao's Trio.

This was a male Awakened, who appeared to be middle-aged. His face was filled with panic. As he passed the battlefield, his experienced self quickly grabbed a corpse lying on the ground.

The blood on his palm was still slightly warm. The Awakened's desperate eyes suddenly burst with a strong will to survive, and he shouted loudly, "Is anyone there? Is anyone nearby?"

The Awakened, who was calling for help at the top of his lungs, didn't stop running. He didn't dare to stop. Behind him, groups of White Ghouls were charging, their killing intent soaring.

"White Ghoul Witch cub! It can be a Star Pet! Save me, I'll give you everything, everything I have is yours!" The Awakened's voice was hoarse, so choked that his voice trembled, so desperate it broke one's heart.

Jiang Xiao looked at Han Jiangxue beside him. He also saw another side of Han Jiangxue.

To Jiang Xiao's surprise, this 18-year-old girl was completely unmoved by the scene, nor did she soften her heart because of someone's tearful plea for help.

Her face was expressionless, seemingly devoid of human emotion.

What kind of cold indifference lay behind her goggles?

The next moment, amidst the trembling Snowy Forest, a group of White Ghouls finally rushed out.

When describing a large enemy force charging, people often use "a dense black mass" to describe it.

At this moment, in Jiang Xiao's sight, he saw a "dense white mass." A Hundred Ghouls Night March!

No, it was a White Ghoul Night March! Hundreds of White Ghouls charged madly, roaring in anger. In the Snowy Forest, they didn't advance in an orderly fashion like regular troops. Large swathes of White Ghouls, like Tarzan, moved rapidly through the trees, occasionally several leaping high into the air, their dark ghoul faces terrifying.

In an instant, In the sky, on the ground, and in the trees, it seemed filled with White Ghouls.

"Don't panic, they won't pay attention to us," Han Jiangxue suddenly said.

Even though the Trio had moved over a hundred meters with all their might, they still underestimated the number of White Ghouls. They hadn't even moved out of the path of the White Ghoul horde.

Jiang Xiao was still somewhat confused when he saw a group of White Ghouls charging in their direction.

"Get down on the ground, don't move. Endure it even if you get stepped on!" Han Jiangxue's voice was extremely stern, and she immediately lay down on the snow.

Her cold voice reached the ears of the two and was quickly drowned out by the earth-shattering roars.

The army passed, and all living beings retreated!

Jiang Xiao's hair stood on end. Hiding behind a tree, he lay on the ground obediently.

At this moment, he was no longer Voldemort, nor was he a cunning schemer.

He was just a minion playing dead, praying that Da Sheng would put away his divine powers and make these monkeys and their descendants disappear quickly.

Whoosh. A White Ghoul landed on the tree above Jiang Xiao, then leaped away quickly. A large amount of snow fell, landing on Jiang Xiao.

Due to the obstruction of the trees, Jiang Xiao was not trampled by the monkeys and their descendants coming head-on, but he could often hear heavy footsteps on either side of him.

The snowflakes splashed by the heavy footsteps on the ground, landing on Jiang Xiao, brought him an unparalleled sense of happiness.

Bring it on, bury me completely.

Han Jiangxue and Xia Yan were not foolish; both adjusted their positions and hid behind trees.

Xia Yan also understood Han Jiangxue's command. Although the Trio hid well, and the army was rushing past them, it couldn't guarantee that the White Ghouls wouldn't discover them.

What truly made Han Jiangxue fearless was the cry of "White Ghoul Witch cub."

In other words, the White Ghouls' hatred had been completely diverted and they wouldn't pay any attention to the Trio.

If that male Awakened were to let go of the cub, there might be a chance of survival.

But even at this moment, he still refused to let go. Truly greedy.
