Chapter 184: cc
At this moment, Jiang Xiao and his teammates were lying on top of the cliff and looking down at the sparse forest below.
Nearly 30 Ape Ghouls were sitting and lying down on the grass, leaning against the big trees and resting on the boulders.
Among them, an extremely strong Ape Ghoul at least 2.5 meters tall was lying on the side of a flat boulder and squinting its large eyes while basking in the sun sluggishly.
The rays of sunlight passed through the sparse leaves and were scattered all over its large body.
The breeze would blow through the woods sometimes, causing some rustling sounds. It was extremely pleasant.
The four of them laid side by side on the edge of the cliff with their heads popping out as they stole glances at the spot below them, rather pleased with the view.
Appearing a little hesitant, Li Weiyi said softly, “I think we can first find an ordinary Ape Ghoul to try it on.”
Jiang Xiao carefully observed the Ape Ghoul King and whispered, “Wow, Brother Li, you’re such a coward. What does Sister Qingmei see in you?”
Xia Yan chimed in softly, “His good looks, maybe.”
Li Weiyi remained silent.
Jiang Xiao observed carefully for a long time before asking, “I’m ready. Can I start the healing now?”
The other three members of the team looked at each other.
At the same time, the soldiers in the monitoring room were also feeling nervous and had sullen expressions on their faces.
“Damn it, little imp, don’t you stir any trouble for me.”
“This group of ignorant students thinks they are far enough away from the Ape Ghoul King, but they’re clueless about its incredible strength and abilities.”
A soldier sighed deeply and asked, “What’s the point of mocking them? We’re the ones who will get hurt in the end. Get the rest of them to prepare for the battle. They’re just a group of high school kids who don’t know any better and yet, we have to pay the price for their recklessness.”
“They’ve started!” the soldier exclaimed when he saw the footage of Jiang Xiao’s point-of-view. He picked up the communication device and said, “Northwest area, Team 6, Team 7, and Team 8, get ready...”
“Hiss~uh... ” Moans and whines of pleasure could be heard coming from the boulders, and the Ape Ghouls immediately woke up.
Has the big boss spoken?
What does he want to do?
The Ape Ghouls sat up and stood up one after another, propping themselves up by pressing their muscular arms against the ground. They looked like they were kneeling obediently and worshiping the quivering body on the flat boulder, looking at it with respect.
The Ape Ghouls were staring at the Ape Ghoul King from all directions, only to see that their leader was lying flat on the boulder with its hard limbs all sluggish like mud. It was shaking its head slightly while groaning peculiarly.
White beams of light fell from the sky with immense speed and precision.
Before the preceding beam had even dissipated, the next beam of light shrouded it again.
The Ape Ghouls began to kick up a ruckus, looking around and yelling loudly.
In an instant, the sounds of the Ape Ghouls in the forest streamed out continuously.
Xia Yan moved her lips closer to Jiang Xiao’s ear and whispered, “Can you manage? Why do I feel like it’s almost falling asleep because of how comfortable it feels?”
Jiang Xiao cast another ray of Blessing and said with a mysterious smile, “Let my poisonous Blessing fly for a while longer.”
Xia Yan was slightly stunned and looked at Jiang Xiao, who looked extremely annoying like he was in need of a beating, wondering to herself if she should give him a slap in the back of the head again. At this very moment, she heard Li Weiyi’s voice...
“It has woken up, it has woken up,” Li Weiyi said frantically.
“Huh?” Xia Yan turned around and looked at the sparse forest in a bid to observe the Ape Ghoul King.
“Roar! Roar~” The Ape Ghost King slowly got up while swaying unsteadily from side to side, as if standing up was an extremely laborious task. They found it interesting that its large body was still quivering continuously.
They were clearly in a warm and pleasant environment in the woods and the weather was merry too. However, the Ape Ghoul King was shivering continuously in an amusing manner, as if it were in a snowy ground.
An Ape Ghoul walked towards it and pressed its sturdy shoulders against the Ape Ghoul King’s shaking body, seemingly trying to help the latter regain its balance.
The Ape Ghoul King was large in size, about 2.5 meters tall.
On the other hand, the Ape Ghoul that was about to come up to help the Ape Ghoul King was just as large, as its body was about two meters tall. However, it actually got smacked onto the ground by a tight slap!
The Ape Ghoul King roared maniacally at the sky. Then, it slammed its sledgehammer-like hands against the ground fiercely. After just a few times, it smashed the Ape Ghouls into pieces.
The Ape Ghouls immediately got riled up and paced back while roaring agitatedly, seemingly trying to communicate with their leader in a unique language.
A beam of light continuously shrouded the Ape Ghoul King!
The ray of sacred light was filled with strong vitality as it continuously enhanced the Ape Ghoul King’s current state.
Xia Yan suddenly shivered on top of the cliff, seemingly having thought of the time when she was full of energy and vitality which had no outlet to be released.
It was an ultimate enjoyment that was so comfortable that one would almost collapse.
Huff...
A large Ape Ghoul finally appeared with a loud and coarse roar.
—Gold Quality Star Technique, Body of Star Power!
This time, everyone in the team finally didn’t have to find any special targets for careful observations because the large Ape Ghoul was at least five meters tall. He was so fast that he actually only took ten seconds to crush and trample all the surrounding trees...
“Hide, don’t look at it,” Han Jiangxue said hurriedly.
Jiang Xiao secretly felt stunned before retracting his head frantically and moving his body backward. He then laid on the ground obediently.
Although they were hiding in a good spot, they were being extremely careful.
“Are you interested in the Body of Star Power?” Jiang Xiao asked Xia Yan softly.
Xia Yan was also lying on the ground while listening to the roars of the Ape Ghoul King and the yells of frustration coming from the Ape Ghouls...
“It consumes too much Star Power,” said Xia Yan, thinking about Jiang Xiao’s proposal very seriously.
She continued, “Besides, the target is too large. And it says on the books that although the user can put together a large body using Star Power, most of the damage will eventually be transmitted back to the body when the various attacks are launched on the Body of Star Power.”
Jiang Xiao said, “So, the weakness of this Star Technique is that it consumes a lot of energy, is highly flammable, and the damage suffered will be huge.”
Xia Yan nodded.
Jiang Xiao asked, “What are the positive attributes, then?”
Xia Yan looked at Jiang Xiao like he was a fool and asked, “Positive attributes? The power increased so greatly and its body is so large. Its destructive power is over the top!”
Jiang Xiao said leisurely, “So, although the consumption of your Star Power is massive and there is greater damage done, your destructive power will also be stronger. That will cause greater damage to the enemy and allow you to absorb more vitality and Star Power.”
Xia Yan was dumbfounded.
What nonsense is this kid saying?
More destructive power means higher absorption of vitality and Star Power?
This is...
Xia Yan was rather startled and suddenly remembered that Jiang Xiao’s Nostalgia was used for absorbing vitality and Star Power through attacking the enemy!
Did Nostalgia happen to make up for the weaknesses of Body of Star Power?
Star Power + Nostalgia. Was that a perfect match!?!
Under normal circumstances, the Silver Quality Nostalgia would never be able to make up for the consumption of Star Power. However, Jiang Xiao’s Nostalgia was now of Gold Quality.
The key was that his Nostalgia could still be upgraded in the future!
All of a sudden, Xia Yan glanced at the smiling Jiang Xiao.
She was tempted!
While she contemplated, the Ape Ghouls’ continuous yelling could be heard.
The Ape Ghoul King started venting all its energy maniacally while the Ape Ghouls fled in all directions. However, a few were also affected.
Violent and cruel creatures like the Ape Ghouls would turn their backs on everyone, including their relatives once they went crazy.
It was especially so when they activated the Star Technique “Brutality”.
Ka-ka-ka...
Along with the sounds of a huge tree falling slowly, the battle in the forest kicked off.
As the roar of the Ape Ghoul gradually went away, Han Jiangxue popped her head out quietly.
She saw a large Ape Ghoul made of blue Star Power madly destroying everything in sight in the deep forest while dashing towards the North with heavy steps.
The Ape Ghoul King was lying below the large figure that was more than five meters tall. Its eyes were incredibly bloodshot and they seemed to be able to ooze blood. It was panting heavily with its mouth wide open, and a steady stream of saliva flowed down its sharp fangs...
Has it activated “Brutality”?
Han Jiangxue was unsure. The only thing she was certain of was that the state of the Ape Ghoul King was truly maniacal.
Bang!
The giant Ape Ghoul King slammed his palm down and smacked one of the Ape Ghouls swinging in the woods down onto the ground. It howled and fell onto the ground before getting stepped on brutally by the Ape Ghoul King.
However, the mad Ape Ghoul King still wasn’t let off.
Whoosh!
Another ray of sacred light landed and passed through the large Ape Ghoul body that was made of Star Power, before landing on the body of the Ape Ghoul King extremely accurately.
Roar! Roar! Roar! The Ape Ghoul King pounded its chest maniacally while roaring hysterically. There was nothing else it could see, and it was simply rushing in one direction like a bulldozer.
...
In the monitoring room.
The soldiers stared intently at the monitor and gradually became astonished.
Holding the communication device in one hand, the soldiers who were all ready to give out commands and orders were instantly dumbfounded.
The soldier looked at the screen in a dumbfounded manner and muttered, “Is this kid... toxic?”
...
Jiang Xiao looked at the huge figure that had dashed forward all the way and got up. He suggested. “Come on, let’s follow them and pick up the corpses behind. Its Star Power will eventually be depleted. Once it runs out of Star Power, we’ll kill it.”
Jiang Xiao’s words made everyone feel rather stunned.
This kid is impressive...
Jiang Xiao straightened his back and looked at everyone’s peculiar expressions. He chuckled and said, “Ah, don’t look at me with such gazes. If the Ape Ghoul King dies in the hands of others, there’ll definitely be an intense and tragic battle. It’ll go through arduous pain! Don’t you think so? Brother Li.”
Li Weiyi didn’t expect to be called by Jiang Xiao. Slightly stunned, he asked, “Huh? Ah! Is... is that so?”
Jiang Xiao nodded and said, “However, if this Ape Ghoul King dies in our hands, it’ll be in comfort until its last moments!”
He looked at everyone and took a deep breath. “We’re the ones who are truly merciful and compassionate.”
Xia Yan remained silent.
Han Jiangxue was speechless.
Li Weiyi remained silent.
