"Once the White Ghouls find out that the two Leaders have been killed, they will most likely return the same way." Han Jiangxue crushed the Star Bead, constantly using the Star Technique Barren Wind to push the two forward quickly, "The Guardian Team that received the distress signal may also arrive here, we don't have much time."

"Those people's methods of tracking White Ghouls are very strong, they won't pay attention to this side for the time being, they probably have already met with that greedy requester." Xia Yan said, making Jiang Xiao feel a lot more at ease.

"Then we have to hurry, the sooner the better." Han Jiangxue said, pushing everyone along, and finally returned to the White Ghoul army's marching route.

It is extremely difficult to not leave traces in the Snow.

Especially for this army of hundreds of White Ghouls, the path they took was simply a mess.

The Snowy Forest was full of footprints, trees were knocked over, branches were scattered, and it was easy to track the traces of the White Ghouls chasing after them.

But a problem arose, the number of this army was too large, even if the Trio had arrived on the marching route, this road was simply too wide.

Jiang Xiao suddenly realized a problem and said, "By the way, after a Human Awakened dies, will there be a Star Bead?"

"Of course, from the moment you become an Awakened, it means that you have integrated into this bizarre world, and a Star Bead will form in your head." Han Jiangxue carefully searched the surroundings, which were simply a mess.

Jiang Xiao's eyes lit up and said, "Then, does the Star Bead in the Awakened's brain carry a Star Technique?"

"Heh." Xia Yan shook her head and smiled, "In theory, that's how it is, but Humans are different from other species. If you describe Different Dimension Creatures as a glass of pure natural juice, then Humans are a mixed drink with countless additives. The possibility of harvesting a Star Technique from a Human Star Bead is zero."

Han Jiangxue sighed and nodded: "Humans are not as pure as other Different Dimension Creatures. From a racial perspective, Humans do not have the distinct characteristics of any type of Different Dimension Creature. Humans do not carry innate Star Techniques."

Xia Yan returned to the forefront again, running quickly along the path, and explained: "For White Ghouls, we are also Different Dimension Creatures in their eyes, but what Star Techniques do we carry?"

"Your sister is right, from the perspective of Star Techniques, Humans do not have any outstanding racial characteristics, and do not Yu innate Star Techniques. We can only plunder the Star Techniques of other creatures artificially."

"So, even if an Awakened has countless Star Techniques, even if you absorb the Awakened's Star Bead, you will definitely return empty-handed. There has never been such a situation in history." Xia Yan shook her head decisively.

Han Jiangxue said: "But this is also a good thing, which largely avoids Humans killing each other."

"That makes sense." Xia Yan consciously tried to please Han Jiangxue, constantly echoing, "If Humans could absorb the Star Beads in the brains of their own kind to obtain Star Techniques, then this world would really be completely chaotic."

Jiang Xiao said: "But in theory, Human Star Beads still have the Star Techniques absorbed before their death, but the possibility of absorption is extremely small."

"Not extremely small, it's zero." Xia Yan's gaze suddenly stopped on a tree, "Give up your unrealistic fantasies, this is the conclusion drawn from countless practices."

Jiang Xiao only felt a chill all over his body. If Han Jiangxue's order had not been to lie down and hide on the spot, but to lead the Squad to escape, would they have been caught up and dismembered?

Not necessarily, after all, they didn't attract as much hatred as this team.

"Pack, Marching Pack!" Xia Yan's running footsteps suddenly stopped, skidding several meters on the Snow, pointing to the camouflage backpack scattered on the ground in the distance.

Jiang Xiao came back to his senses, Has the exciting moment of looting finally arrived?

In his sight, the camouflage backpack was already a bit tattered, with several cuts, and the water bottle, sleeping bag, and food inside were scattered all over the ground.

Before Jiang Xiao could step forward to loot, Han Jiangxue walked over directly, opened the Space Coffin, scooped up the Marching Pack, and threw it directly into the Space Coffin.

"Let's go." Han Jiangxue said, and ran quickly with Xia Yan.

Jiang Xiao: "."

After traveling three hundred meters away, Xia Yan saw blood again.

Jiang Xiao's expression was extremely strange. What exactly had these two girls experienced?

Was scavenging corpses already a commonplace activity?

"Those who have the confidence to break into this Southeast Route are definitely not weak. Although their Star Beads cannot extract Star Techniques, the Star Power contained in them is real, which will help Xia Yan break through the mid-Star Cloud Stage." Han Jiangxue still cared more about Jiang Xiao, although her voice was cold, her explanation was very warm.

So that's how it is.

Come to think of it, both of them had been stuck in the mid-Star Cloud Stage for a long time, and they needed a Star Bead containing vast Star Power to break through the obstacles, no wonder they were so excited.

"There's a Star Bead, definitely!" Xia Yan ran over, grabbed the Awakened's head, and threw it directly to Han Jiangxue.

Those wide eyes, panicked expression, seemed to be showing what he had experienced in the last moment of his life.

Han Jiangxue waved her hand casually, the Space Coffin opened again, and the broken corpse with skin and flesh disappeared instantly, and was thrown into the Space Coffin.

"Too lucky, it wasn't eaten clean." Xia Yan said excitedly, and ran along the route again.

It's hard to know a person's heart from their face.

The more Jiang Xiao came into contact with the two, the more he could discover the horror of this world.

Usually, whether it was Xia Yan or Han Jiangxue, they were considered normal Humans.

Moreover, Jiang Xiao received the care and attention of the two. Although Han Jiangxue was a bit cold and Xia Yan had a fiery temper, they both belonged to the category of normal Humans.

However, the actions and behaviors of the two at this moment made Jiang Xiao completely realize what the profession of Awakened was like.

Or rather, what this bizarre world was like.

After all, Jiang Xiao had only been in this world for a short time, and had less contact with this strange world. As an ordinary man who had traveled from a normal world, his consciousness and concepts had not yet been integrated with this world.

"Are you disappointed in me?" Han Jiangxue's faint voice suddenly came from behind.

Jiang Xiao was so frightened that he shivered. He had just seen the terrifying face of the corpse.

Jiang Xiao kept walking, thought about it, and said, "If we don't take it, the Guardian Team will take it, and the White Ghouls will eat him."

"Your reason for self-comfort is not bad." Han Jiangxue quickened her pace, and ran side by side with Jiang Xiao in the Snow, and said, "But in essence, we are scavenging the corpses of our own kind to strengthen ourselves."

"It's better than letting him be exposed in the Wilderness." Jiang Xiao seemed to have figured it out, and said, "We can't let the White Ghouls take advantage of him."

"Hehe." Han Jiangxue smiled and stopped talking.

"Han Jiangxue, what exactly are you trying to say?" Jiang Xiao couldn't help but ask.

"For Awakened, a good beginning and a good ending is a luxury." Han Jiangxue turned to look at Jiang Xiao and said, "I just want to tell you, don't die. Otherwise, your head will be cut open and your Star Bead will be taken away."

"This world isn't beautiful, at least not as beautiful as you imagine. Awakened are only glamorous on the surface. Anyone with great power has walked out from a mountain of corpses." Han Jiangxue said in a deep voice.

"The Nation is already protecting Awakened to the greatest extent possible, maintaining social stability." Han Jiangxue said softly, "But in the Other Dimension Space, even with the Guardian Team, they can't achieve comprehensive supervision and control. This is the lowest level Different Dimension World, so it's relatively safe. In the future, we will enter all kinds of Different Dimension Worlds. I just hope you stay vigilant. Letting you come into contact with these things early is a good thing."

Jiang Xiao licked his lips and nodded silently.

Today, he saw another side of Han Jiangxue, and he also heard about another side of this world.

This lesson was very realistic.

After this lesson, Jiang Xiao truly felt that he was beginning to integrate into this interesting world.
