Chapter 148: Nebula First Kill

At the “Y” shaped intersection, Li Weiyi and his team blocked the left fork, and the people who rushed in were all elated to see some humans.

“Put down the shield, let us in!” one of the societal Awakened yelled. He scurried forward quickly with the flame burning in his hand.

Li Weiyi’s heart skipped a beat, but he heard Han Jiangxue’s cold voice coming from behind. “Block it, make them go the other way.”

A silver light glowed on Li Weiyi’s body and he moved his shield downward to fill the entrance.

Bang!

The Awakened hit his head against the shield, but the “door” that they imagined did not open.

“Is this a draft!?!” the Awakened yelled in anger before turning around to scurry towards the right fork.

Compared to the bottom of the Y-shaped junction, the left and right forks were much narrower and would allow just one Ape Ghoul to pass through. Hence, the team was less stressed and pressured.

Xia Yan yelled, “What are you clamoring about!?! Be thankful that we didn’t shove you into the passage and let you be stuck there!”

“Little rascals, remember what happened today! I should have killed you just now!” The team of four gathered together and turned around to fight the Ape Ghouls. The bald man at the end was faced with an Ape Ghoul and, with the help of his teammate, he managed to temporarily stay out of danger.

Xia Yan murmured, “I...”

Han Jiangxue interrupted Xia Yan and said, “Li Weiyi, you did the right thing. You have a lot of teammates behind you. We can’t tolerate having such people join our team. I reckon we’re all very clear of their characters and ways of handling matters.”

Li Weiyi nodded silently while holding onto the shield.

“Leave an opening for Xia Yan on your shield,” Han Jiangxue continued.

Xia Yan turned as pale as a sheet, and she was so infuriated that her hands began to tremble when she held onto the sword, all ready to stab them.

Jiang Xiao’s heart sank and he thought, Turns out it’s that group of robbers?

How could it be them?

Why are they being chased by Ape Ghouls? Could it be... they were stealing Star Beads in the canyon like us?

However, their strategies were terrible and they ran out of luck. So they ended up getting chased by the Ape Ghouls that are out to kill them. Is that so?

The teams of all sizes in the vicinity have all joined in the battle. Hence, the Ape Ghouls should be the ones that flying in the canyon too.

“Dong-dong...”

While Jiang Xiao was deep in thought, the sounds of the wall shaking could be heard coming from behind him.

Jiang Xiao frantically scurried backward and listened while the rocks and mud got blown up. Jiang Xiao realized that the people at the branch of the tunnel seemed to be trying to open up a tunnel and rush towards them.

What are these people trying to do?

The outcome was obvious.

Jiang Xiao said, “Those people are trying to come here! They’re trying to break the wall! They still want to survive. Regardless of whether they’re anxious or not, they definitely want to use us as shields.”

The sudden change caused everyone to turn distracted and furious while feeling bewildered.

Han Jiangxue nodded and agreed with Jiang Xiao’s analysis. She then turned around to look at Hai Tianqing.

Hai Tianqing drove his scepter into the ground, which was emitting a faint glow that was not pure white, but gray-white. In all, it was rather peculiar.

Next, everyone in the team realized what the role of the scepter was because the Star Power within them was continuously increasing.

The shield-bearing Li Weiyi, in particular, felt that Hai Tianqing gave them a timely boost.

Unlike Jiang Xiao’s Nostalgia that could also absorb the Star Power and vitality of the enemies on the condition that attacks were launched on the target, the Gray-white Scepter could directly increase the Star Power of the user’s teammates, and no attacking was required.

Hence, it was clear that Hai Tianqing was a normal and standard healer.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiao was indeed a toxic healer...

Hai Tianqing could sense the distant gaze in Han Jiangxue’s eyes which were particularly gloomy in this dim tunnel.

All of a sudden, Hai Tianqing thought about someone he used to know.

Her name also reminded him of a certain season. Although she was not as cold as Han Jiangxue, she was just as aloof.

Their coldness was different, but their intentions were the same.

Hai Tianqing suddenly understood what Han Jiangxue meant. Or rather, he understood what that someone meant.

“Do what you think is right,” Hai Tianqing muttered softly, repeating the same words he said back then.

On the battlefield where attacks were launched vigorously, Jiang Xiao, standing at the back, managed to catch the tinge of shakiness in Hai Tianqing’s voice.

Han Jiangxue frowned slightly when she saw Hai Tianqing’s gloomy eyes. Although she had no idea what happened, she nonetheless raised her hand and aimed it at the wall on the left before saying, “Listen to my commands. Take note and pay attention while retreating.”

Xia Yan quickly stowed away her giant sword and took a few steps back.

Li Weiyi carried the shield, which was being punched by the Ape Ghouls, causing loud and dull clanking sounds to be heard. As the Ape Ghouls yelled and howled, Li Weiyi lunged backward steadily.

“3... 2... 1!” Han Jiangxue squinted and leaned against the wall, waving her right hand.

At the same time, a gap was formed in the wall beside her.

One of the adults that were there to train smashed the wall while being covered in flames, causing the stones to fly out rapidly together with the flames.

However, they all vanished in front of the adults.

The one who smashed the wall was greatly taken aback, but he also managed to catch a clear glimpse of the overlapping layers of space in front of them.

Fortunately, the broken stones and flames had cleared the path for him. Otherwise, he might have just disappeared in the layers of space.

“Huh?” Han Jiangxue humphed and decided to launch another attack!

She waved her hand once more, causing the overlapping layers of space to be activated again. However, she didn’t activate it on the hole beside her but chose to launch it at the spot behind the man covered in flames.

“Retreat!” Han Jiangxue yelled as she tossed a shot of Bursting Flames into the cave opening.

The burning figure subconsciously placed his arms in front of himself. Thanks to the flames on his body, he managed to repel the burning effects of Bursting Flames to the maximum dauntlessly.

However, the explosive impact of Bursting Flames caused him to be blasted backward by a significant distance.

At the next moment, the man covered in flames was immediately blasted back into the overlapping layers of space and vanished without a trace!

Jiang Xiao swallowed his saliva and thought, This is really... domineering!

Han Jiangxue frantically put away her Sky Smasher, for fear that the man in flames would scurry out. At the instant that the space gate was closed, the Ape Ghouls surged out of the opening.

Bang!

In the noisy and chaotic tunnel, another hole was formed, but in a spot that was much farther behind everyone.

Similarly, Ape Ghouls dashed out.

On another intersection, the team led by the bald man quickly backed off, opening up two tunnels that squeezed the Ape Ghouls at the forefront. When the bald man pushed them forward again and a bifurcation appeared on their side, they would obviously choose to rush into it.

Hence, Jiang Xiao’s team was caught in the middle!

Jiang Xiao, who was at the back of the team, became the frontliner.

A female Awakened yelled, “Dacheng hasn’t returned yet.”

“Don’t care about him anymore. This place has already been filled up by Ape Ghouls. Let’s hurry and go,” the bald man exclaimed while continuously urging his teammates to retreat.

At the same time, a few messages popped up in Jiang Xiao’s mind:

–

Nebula First Kill, Skill Points +3.

Leapfrogging, Skill Point +5.

–

Jiang Xiao was flabbergasted.

Those were good news and the splendid results of Han Jiangxue’s Sky Smasher. However, Jiang Xiao had no time to pay attention to that for now. While holding onto the giant sword which was covered in Green Glow, he slew the Ape Ghouls maniacally.

“I’ve broken the wall, we must go out!” Jiang Xiao yelled. At the same time, he also glanced at the wall beside him and punched it forcefully with his Green Glow-covered hand!

Gold Quality Green Glow!

Boom...
