Nine Star Burden

Ten days later, at night, in the mountains behind Cato Mansion.

Hou Mingming held the bow and arrow in his hand, maintaining the posture of drawing the bow and shooting the arrow. With his eyes closed tightly, the bow and arrow star chart bloomed in front of him, as if he was experiencing something carefully.

Jiang Xiao folded his hands on his chest and stood beside her, staring closely at the star map blooming in front of Hou Mingming.

Ying Ying? Not far away, the coquettish voice of Ying Ying Xiong came.

Jiang Xiao turned around and saw an elderly man and a few middle-aged men on the grass not far away, using delicious food to seduce Yin Ying Xiong to play with them.

The expert team from China is huge, with more than 20 people here.

At this time, there were no less than ten people surrounding the Black and White Candle Bear. There were also people recording and videotaping the entire process, and some were writing with notebooks. If nothing else, this attitude alone was enough to be admired. .

Jiang Xiao knew the old lady who was playing with the Yingying Bear. This was Di Lian, a person who lived in the textbooks.

In China, when you discuss the Xingwu field or things in this category, the word Dilian is a name that cannot be avoided no matter what.

Even if you don't know this person, as long as you open the reference book Encyclopedia of Star Beasts or the Encyclopedia of Star Beasts textbook from high school and look for the editor-in-chief column, you will also see Di The two words lotus.

He is not only a star beast researcher, but also an educator.

When the Chinese expert group settled in the Cato Mansion and Jiang Xiao saw the avatar that appeared in the test paper, Jiang Xiao was confused.

This respected elder actually stood in front of him, kind and amiable. He even shared a table with Jiang Xiao for dinner, seizing every moment to learn about the black and white candlelight, the bamboo bear, and the combination of the two. -Black and white candle bear.

Hou Mingming whispered: After so many days, what results have they come up with?

Jiang Xiao shook his head: I don't know, but Ms. Di and Ying Ying Xiong have a good relationship. For Ms. Di, Ying Ying Xiong can stay up and play with her now.

Hou Mingming smiled and said, Keep an eye on it.

Huh? Jiang Xiao turned his head and looked at Hou Mingming, but saw her star map slowly lighting up.

Immediately, the ordinary bow and arrow in her hand was covered with a dark color, just like the star map blooming on her chest. The bow and arrow in her hand were not only black and shiny, but also dripping with starlight, like a dream. magical.

Hou Mingming softly praised: Your idea is correct. At the peak of the galaxy, stars can be turned into weapons.

Yeah. Jiang Xiao was determined. Even though Hou Mingming couldn't summon the Star Map directly yet, she could use the bow and arrow in her hand to make the Bow Star Map cover the weapon in her hand.

Then, the bamboo arrows resting on the sinew strings were also covered with a dark color.

Hou Mingming suddenly opened his eyes, and his long black pony tail was flying with the waves of star power.

Those beautiful eyes were dyed with a dark color,

There are no whites in the eyeballs anymore, which looks a bit scary.

Oh, Xiaopi... Hou Mingming sighed softly, and shot out an arrow, whoosh!

The dark bamboo arrows were extremely fast, piercing the night sky and nailing into a big tree from a distance.

The next moment, with the arrow tip as the center point, the dark color spread to all directions, constantly eroding and polluting the big tree.

A big tree full of vitality turned into a withering tree in the blink of an eye.

The trees infected with black become dry, and the leaves stained with black gradually rot...

After a full 30 seconds, the tree became a strange thing in the deep forest, completely black and extremely strange.

Oh, Xiaopi... Hou Mingming murmured in amazement, took up his bow and shot an arrow again, this time, it was an ordinary arrow, and it shot out with the bamboo arrow. .....

Whoosh!

The bamboo arrow shot directly through the big tree!

Not only did it penetrate the big tree, but the entire tree was shattered, like pieces of ashes, completely shattered and falling all over the sky under the blowing of the night wind.

Hou Mingming turned her head and looked at Jiang Xiao with burning eyes. She wanted to say some words of gratitude, but the habits she had developed since she was a child and her unique personality made her reluctant to use the word thank you. Very unfamiliar.

Jiang Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said: It seems that your transformation of stars into weapons has its own corrupting effect.

This word is not good. Hou Mingming said softly, Change it with another one.

Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows. Indeed, in modern Chinese, corruption is not used very frequently to refer to the meaning of rotting of objects. It mostly refers to the degradation of behavior of people.

Jiang Xiao said: Then... wither?

Wither?

Hou Mingming's eyes lit up and she seemed to like this word very much. It fit her star chart very well.

Hou Mingming said: This is a star map jointly developed by you and me. Let's call it the 'withering' characteristic.

Star skills are indeed all kinds of weird. Until now, people seem to have not discovered the withering type of star skills.

Hou Mingming's arrow is likely to fill a gap in the human star map and even in the attributes of star skills!

Perhaps Hou Mingming and Jiang Xiao have not realized at this time that this is a huge event for human society!

Such a scene attracted the attention of a team of experts from a distance. Each of these scholars' eyes shone brightly, and they directly regarded Hou Mingming as some kind of star beast.

Jiang Xiao ignored those scorching gazes. He touched his chin with one hand and thought secretly: Bow of Withering?

Are you sure you want this bow star chart with special attributes? Or should we look for other archer star charts and see the star chart characteristics of other archers?

Hou Mingming turned his head, took up his bow and shot an arrow again, and said softly: When I understand the meaning of the short blade at the tip of the bow, I may be able to summon Xingwu at the peak of the galaxy.

Yeah. Jiang Xiao came back to his senses, Indeed, you just relied on your bow and arrow skills to summon the star map to cover the weapon. However, if you want to turn stars into weapons at this stage, you may have to practice bow fighting. It’s a technique.”

Hou Mingming: Bow fighting skills?

Jiang Xiao scratched his head and said, I'm talking nonsense. How are you going to use the short blades at both ends of the bow? I've never seen anyone use this kind of weapon for close combat. You can only figure it out for yourself.

Hou Mingming nodded naturally.

Jiang Xiao looked at her bow star map and continued: Maybe your Star Transformation into Martial Arts has other characteristics, but you can't use it more at this time.

Hou Mingming licked his lips excitedly: Why do you say that?

Ah? Jiang Xiao pointed to her star map and said, Isn't this obvious? Look at how powerful your star map is. This bow is big and thick. It is obviously a heavy weapon inside the bow!

Look at your color-covered bow. It's thin and small. Except for the color and the falling starlight spots, the difference in appearance is also too big.

Well... Hou Mingming didn't refute anything, but still maintained his posture, quietly feeling the bow and arrow in his hand and the star map in front of him.

By the way. Jiang Xiao seemed to have remembered something and said, It is said that Mr. Cato will make a big move in three days?

Well. Hou Mingming clasped his right hand on his chin, looked into the distance, and spoke in a very small range, That was an important meeting. Although the result was already determined, the people of Kangkejinde should clearly know that Kangkejinde wanted to Another day.”

Jiang Xiao sighed helplessly. He was not interested in any of this. He just wanted to know when he could go home: Er Wei hasn't found any trace of those young men yet?

No. Hou Mingming answered simply and neatly.

Okay. Jiang Xiao took out the bow and arrow from his back and said, Let's go to class, Teacher Hou.

Hou Mingming: I have said this many times. Your foundation is very solid. I don't know what I can tell you.

Jiang Xiao opened his bow and nocked an arrow: Tell me how you turned stars into weapons, and tell me what images you had in mind when you summoned the star map.

Hou Mingming let out a hum and his attitude became colder: I said I was thinking of you volleying against Neil in the European Shield in the World Cup. Do you believe it?

Jiang Xiao: ...

Hou Mingming said: In the course of a fierce battle, especially when you are high in the air and have nowhere to rely on, and there are no roots under your feet, your lower body can be twisted into a twist, while your upper body can keep the shape of your body and hands unchanged. This is not a miracle. An easy thing.”

From now on, it will be very difficult to admit that others are strong despite their obvious personalities. For her to be able to say these words, her experience in the World Cup is really indispensable.

Jiang Xiao said thoughtfully: So... posture is very important.

Hou Mingming: ...

Hou Mingming turned around and lowered his head to look at Jiang Xiao, but saw a pure look on his face.

Hou Mingming glanced at Jiang Xiao up and down to make sure he didn't mean anything, and then he said, That guy is here again, at 10 o'clock, behind the second tree.

Jiang Xiao turned around slightly and loosened his grip.

Whoosh!

The bamboo arrow accurately nailed into the tree.

Jiang Xiao said: It's been 10 days. You have assassinated me 7 times and failed 7 times. Your Highness, if you were on the battlefield, I guarantee that you would die more than 7 times.

Beiyu stepped out from behind the tree, wearing a hood and a gloomy expression, resembling an Assassin's Creed outfit: I'm already awake.

Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly: Oh? Are you really awake or sleepwalking?

Beiyu walked out of the forest and walked straight towards Jiang Xiao.

Hou Mingming put down his bow and arrow, stepped back slightly, and stood sideways behind Jiang Xiao, looking at the gorgeously dressed young man with a critical eye.

Beiyu took off his hood, stood in front of Jiang Xiao, and said, I shouldn't waste my time and life.

Jiang Xiao: Huh?

Beiyu looked serious: You are the first person in the world to fight alone. Well, the most powerful student.

Perhaps thinking that the scope was a bit broad, Beiyu narrowed the scope to the field of “college students”.

Jiang Xiao sneered. If I beat you, would I be the first person to fight in a duel?

Although your conclusion is correct, the evidence is wrong...

Beiyu said something completely inconsistent with his character: I am currently incapable of defeating you.

Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment. Is this a conspiracy of the other party? Or have you really recognized the reality?

Jiang Xiao looked at Beiyu suspiciously and said, So?

Beiyu said: Teach me! Train me!

Jiang Xiao: ...

What kind of divine expansion is this?

Beiyu: I saw with my own eyes that you guided her and summoned the star map! In the galaxy period! Summoned the star map! You are an incredible and excellent teacher!

Jiang Xiao smacked his lips and said, Why should I teach you?

Beiyu: I will listen to you, unconditionally.

Jiang Xiao smiled and said, If you don't listen to me, I can still guard you and complete the mission.

Beiyu looked at Jiang Xiao seriously: You will gain my friendship and gratitude.

Jiang Xiao couldn't help but smacked his lips. Who cares about your friendship?

Who cares so much... Well, to be fair, Beiyu's friendship is indeed valuable, especially today when Kang Kejinde is about to change his dynasty.

Let’s put aside the matters between the two countries for now. Talking too loudly can easily get off your tongue.

Just talking about Erwei and her troops, if nothing else happens, she should be performing tasks in Kangkekind for a long time. If she can capture Beiyu Cato, Erwei can indeed walk sideways here...

Jiang Xiao grabbed Beiyu's shoulders and walked aside, saying, You don't look like a person who changes his mind easily. You gave up on this mission after only seven assassinations.

Beiyu said word for word: The second time was enough for me to recognize the gap. The last five times were my pride.

Jiang Xiao was confused, what is all this?

Beiyu said: If you can achieve such strength at this age, so can I! I must be able to do it!

Jiang Xiao smiled awkwardly and said, Let's talk about why you hate everything so much.

Beiyu clenched his fists and said: This is my country, and it is dying step by step. People are just watching it die! The Dark Palace organization is growing step by step under the eyes of some people! No one dares to handle it or even touch it.”

Beiyu pointed at Hou Mingming and said: Kangke Jinde is like the tree under her arrow. With a slight touch, it will turn into nothing.

This is my country...

As a Chinese, Jiang Xiao can also say this to his motherland, because Jiang Xiao is a Chinese citizen.

But people are different. When Beiyu said this, his starting point was completely different from Jiang Xiao's.

In a way, Konkkind may actually be his country...

Jiang Xiao thought for a while and said: If you think so, you shouldn't learn these martial arts skills. The most we can do is charge into battle. If you want to save a country, maybe you should take another path, just like your father did.

No. Beiyu shook his head firmly, I have to be able to protect myself so that I can protect my family and this country.

Jiang Xiao stopped, looked at Beiyu, and said: Your actions are inconsistent with your words. If you had always adhered to this idea, you would not have driven away batches of bodyguards. You would have You work so hard that you don’t have time to care about the people around you.”

Beiyu suddenly lowered his voice, leaned forward, leaned into Jiang Xiao's ear, and whispered: I can't trust anyone, this tree is rotten. A group of people guarding me is far better than a few people guarding me closely. Much safer.”

Jiang Xiao:! ! !

This young man hides his thoughts a little deep...

It was difficult for Jiang Xiao to judge whether his idea was naive or correct.

I don’t know what he went through to have such a mentality and act like this.

Jiang Xiao: And you chose to believe me.

You have seven chances to kill me, on the martial arts field, in the mansion, in the school cafeteria... Beiyu paused for a moment before continuing, Including yesterday, in the deserted woods. middle.

Jiang Xiao: ...

Behind him, Hou Mingming suddenly said: Maybe it will be useful for him to keep you?

Beiyu said: We all know what will happen in three days. As long as I am of some use, yesterday was a good opportunity for you. If you tie me up, many stories will happen next.

Jiang Xiao asked: So, what are you going to do next?

Beiyu: You are an excellent teacher! You are very strong! Very strong! And after testing, you have no ill intentions towards me! So, from now on, I will open my heart and ask for advice humbly! Starting tonight, I Live with you.

Jiang Xiao twitched his lips in embarrassment: Why don't you open your heart? We were in a good situation before. I think...it's better for me to live alone...

Beiyu: I don't want you to feel it, I want me to feel it.

Jiang Xiao:? ? ?

Can you say that again? Do you believe it or not that I slapped you hard?

Beiyu said: Tell me what you want! Anything!

Yo?

This sentence sounds much more pleasant.

What do I want?

Hmm...let me think twice.
