Chapter 166: Alone?
Due to the fact that Second Last left so rapidly, Jiang Xiao dared not stay there any longer. He was surrounded by White Ghoul corpses, which would definitely attract other hunters.
Jiang Xiao used to look forward to the White Ghouls’ arrival so that he could start moving again, but now…
Jiang Xiao hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of barbecued meat, filled his water bottle to the brim with water, packed up, and hurriedly left.
Jiang Xiao again yearned for a s.p.a.ce bag. It was rather inconvenient to carry both the giant sword and military backpacks.
However, Spatial Star Techniques couldn’t be bought with money. When some Star Beads reached a certain level, they would have nothing to do with money.
In all of China, the Dimensional s.p.a.ces that contained Spatial Star Techniques were few and far between. Without a doubt, every Dimensional s.p.a.ce that contained Spatial Star Beads was guarded closely by the government.
While thinking about it, Jiang Xiao suddenly stopped in his tracks because he could vaguely hear the roar of the White Ghouls.
This sounds like… the White Ghouls are fighting?
Jiang Xiao was a little hesitant. He figured out that, logically speaking, he ought to walk straight out of the snowfield and return to Earth.
However, at this time, Jiang Xiao was no longer just a healer. His Xia Family Swordsmans.h.i.+p was already very strong and he had also gotten a qualitative improvement in his abilities.
All of a sudden, Jiang Xiao heard an old and melancholic roar. White Ghoul Witch!?!
Jiang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat and he chased in the direction of the voice.
As the battle cries seemed to get nearer, Jiang Xiao put down his military backpack and carried his giant sword on his back before secretly moving up.
This is…
Is the White Ghoul Witch’s army of White Ghouls attacking another group of White Ghouls?
What’s going on?
The White Ghoul Witch has a racial advantage and can totally take any White Ghoul as an underling.
The only explanation for this is that the White Ghoul Witch wants to eat, Jiang Xiao thought.
That’s why the White Ghouls are continuously resisting and fighting.
Jiang Xiao hid behind a tree and watched as the White Ghoul Witch led 14 White Ghouls to besiege four White Ghouls.
Maybe, these four prey used to be the White Ghoul Witch’s underlings. Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and thought, These races are really cruel. Not only do they turn their backs on each other, but they also consume their own kind too…
Can’t you just bear with it for a while?
There’ll definitely be some White Ghouls that end up alone along the way, even if they’re White Ghouls that have strayed away from the group?
Jiang Xiao was feeling extremely conflicted. Should I do it or not?
You’re just a healer, but this is a group of White Ghouls led by a White Ghoul Witch!
Do you still remember how you got trampled on all over by the White Ghouls?
But, they’re having an internal battle now…
“Jiang Xiao, you’re getting complacent,” Jiang Xiao muttered, clearly having already made up his mind. He pressed his limbs against the ground and carefully crawled away.
For the sake of 200,000 yuan…
Uh, no. For the sake of White Ghoul Witch Star Beads and for the sake of improving, Jiang Xiao would, of course, have to fight hard!
I have to seize every opportunity. White Ghoul Witches are not that common.
While the snow was constantly being blown on Jiang Xiao’s face as he detoured as quickly as possible, three White Ghouls surrounded the White Ghoul Witch and watched as their fellow kind killed each other, seemingly having gotten used to such a scene.
Jiang Xiao, hiding in the snow, quietly climbed up and tried to use the large tree in front of him as a bunker. He took a deep breath and pulled out the dagger from the sheath on his thigh with one hand.
There were more than ten White Ghouls surrounding four other White Ghouls, while on the other side, the White Ghoul Witch and the three White Ghouls guarding it were all focused on the battle.
This is clearly a G.o.dsend opportunity.
Jiang Xiao squatted down and held his breath while focusing on creeping up.
This is too d.a.m.ned thrilling!
I must exert the ambush techniques that Second Last taught me to the fullest!
If I can’t even move well in stealth, how can I learn how to tail others…
Although Jiang Xiao squatted down, he still moved rather quickly. The three White Ghouls guarding obviously couldn’t stand upright like human bodyguards. They paced back and forth rapidly and made hissing noises while focusing their attention on the battlefield far away.
The messy battlefield and windy storm helped Jiang Xiao finish the daunting expedition.
He stepped on the white snow, producing crisp sounds. Every step that Jiang Xiao took made him feel worried and fearful.
It’s getting nearer and nearer…
Staring at the tall and large White Ghoul Witch in front of him, Jiang Xiao felt incredibly nervous.
I’ve been training hard for a month. I shall take this small group of White Ghouls as a graduation test.
Jiang Xiao’s thighs were pressed tightly together as he rushed forward while aiming the sharp dagger at the back of the White Ghoul Witch’s head.
All he could see was the White Ghoul Witch!
Without any commanders or leaders, the White Ghouls were just like a huge mess.
Fast! Accurate! Ruthless!
The White Ghouls were dumbfounded.
Roar!
“Ah! Ahhh!”
The three White Ghouls were sent into a frenzy!
Because a figure jumped out of nowhere and pinned their leader onto the ground before rolling around merrily in the snow.
The sharp dagger was pierced directly into the back of the White Ghoul Witch’s head.
Jiang Xiao quickly pulled the dagger out, causing a huge amount of blood to flow out together with some flesh. He then stabbed the White Ghoul Witch again to puncture its neck.
The series of actions was completed when Jiang Xiao pinned the White Ghoul Witch down.
When he stood up again, his dagger was already placed back inside his sheath and he pulled out the sword placed on his back.
To Jiang Xiao’s relief, the three White Ghouls guarding the White Ghoul Witch did not recover from the shock at all even after he stood up.
Not far away, the group of White Ghouls surrounding their own kind began to get a little fl.u.s.tered. They quickly stopped attacking and looked at Jiang Xiao helplessly, feeling at a complete loss for what to do.
The White Ghouls that had been sieged were extremely menacing and could no longer be bothered by the fact that they were bleeding continuously. Hence, they continued to attack the enemies in front of them.
The battle was in a complete mess.
The White Ghouls were not social creatures. With the White Ghoul Witch, they were forced to group together, but now that they didn’t have their leader guiding them, their nature could no longer be suppressed.
Indeed, the White Ghouls in this snowfield hunted their own kind!
Jiang Xiao licked his lips and no longer had the time to bother about the menacing beasts fighting each other in the distance. Because the three White Ghouls had already rushed towards him.
Bang!
The two White Ghouls were blasted away one by one, and the remaining White Ghouls were stabbed and fell onto the ground, causing snowflakes to be stirred up.
Jiang Xiao was rather quick and activated his Nostalgia. After he added Dawn, his Green Glow-covered giant sword was also stained with a faint purple light. As Jiang Xiao stabbed it into the White Ghouls’ bodies, he began to gain some vitality and Star Power too.
The White Ghouls fighting each other were all heavily damaged and, due to the fact that they had low IQs and were cruel and brutal by nature, they couldn’t stop thinking about the chaotic battle in front of them. All they could see were the enemies in front of them.
Jiang Xiao held onto the giant sword.
He slowly moved into the battlefield and used his giant sword to both attack and defend. Sometimes, he would stab the White Ghouls, and sometimes, he would fling them away to increase the distance.
He also used the dagger frequently together with his sword. Jiang Xiao seemed to have found the balance in the past month of training.
Within tens of seconds, the air was filled with a strong metallic odor of blood. The initially white snowfield was also full of fresh blood and badly mangled corpses.
Ring-ring-ring…
All of a sudden, the crisp and clear sounds of Bell filled the air while a faint ray of medical light shuttled through the snow forest before landing on a White Ghoul.
Without a doubt, the ray of medical light bounced and landed on another White Ghoul before making a turn. It then moved towards the body emitting an aura of vitality.
The ray of medical light bounced on the corpse for a few times—it seemed that some White Ghouls were still alive.
Jiang Xiao’s face stiffened and he thought, Is someone here?!
Besides, it’s also a Medical Awakened who actually used Bell to locate his targets.
Clearly, Jiang Xiao’s position had been found!
His heart skipped a beat.
He had two options. He could either leave or choose to safeguard his battle gains.
The White Ghouls were insignificant. Most importantly, there was a White Ghoul Witch corpse beside him, which contained a Star Bead that was worth 200,000 yuan.
Numerous figures appeared from afar and walked towards the battlefield while facing Jiang Xiao.
On the battlefield, the two White Ghouls were still fighting each other to no end and couldn’t bother about others.
At the same time, a young voice that was loud and full of rigor said, “Are you alone?”
Two female voices seemed to answer at the same time, “Yes.”
