Chapter 151: Star Beast
rd, both silent."Xiao Cui didn't commit suicide, you drove her to death!" a voice gritted out.Following the sound, she saw Xiao, small and frail like a blade of grass, standing at the gate. She was gr...Almost as soon as he heard the noise, Jiang Wang had drawn his sword. "Wait here for a moment, I'll go take a look,"
>
Qinghuo's reply was absent. At this moment, he felt his entire being tense up. The appearance of the star beast, as if opening an invisible door in his heart, released all his fear.
Jiang Wang couldn't possibly stay to comfort him, so she merely glanced at him before turning and leaping into the chasm leading to the Netherworld.
The Wuzhi Cave was vast, and Jiang Wang did not hesitate. But when he arrived, there were already quite a few soldiers from the Qing Huo tribe waiting at the mouth of the cave.
The burly man with a bushy beard is barking orders, maneuvering the troops.
And that one-armed Qing Huo Yuan Chen, carrying a battle knife, stood at the front of the team, his expression resolute.
Is the inscription on the Fire-Celebration's altar for the Fire-Celebration considered harsh It can be said to be quite harsh.
But as a soldier of the Celebration Fire Department, he guarded the Wuzhi Grotto, even losing an arm for it.
He had lost an arm, but was still fighting in the cave.
And even to this day, when the star beasts attack, they still bravely charge to the front line without hesitation.
Does a person like him have the qualifications to look down upon someone as timid as Qing Huo
It seems like there are some.
The world isn't black and white, many things can't be easily classified as right or wrong.
Strangely enough, despite the howling wind in my ears, the sky before me seemed tranquil, as if nothing had happened at all.
"Where is the star beast" Jiang Wang asked.
No one paid him any attention. All the warriors in front of the hole were on high alert, just waiting for a fight.
"It'll be here soon," Qinghuo Yuanchen quickly glanced at him and said, "Stand behind me."
Jiang Wangyi walked over without forcing it.
The warriors in this cave were well-trained, and at this time a squad stood guard at the entrance, swords drawn and arrows nocked. Two more squads waited further back as reserves, while warriors farther still were resting, not even bothering to look over.
To achieve such order, they can be considered a regular army, and even an elite one.
"I'm here." Qihuo Yuanchen said.
Then Jiang Wang saw that in the thick, impenetrable ink-like darkness, stars began to twinkle and shine against each other. At first glance, it looked like the stars on a night sky.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Stunningly beautiful.
This probably helps explain why the floating people call the space beneath the earth "Yutian" or "Youkong," rather than "Youyuan."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"This is burned through," Qinghuo Yuanchen muttered.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Jiang Wang already knew that in the Qihuo Department, "being burned" was similar to "developed." He was speaking ironically, indicating that this wave of stellar beast tide was not weak. If the first wave was like this, the situation in the future would be very grim.
"Squad Two, Squad Three, prepare for battle!" The grizzled old soldier roared: "Squad Four, Squad Five, finish your rest and stand by!"

“Star beasts are creatures of darkness, but they have star-like markings on their bodies. The more stars they have, the stronger they are. This group of star beasts is very difficult to deal with. When you retreat, be careful of your position and don't interfere with other warriors.”
Qing Huo Yuan Chen hurriedly explained to Jiang Wang, while at the same time stepping forward, his long sword slashing down!
This cave in the Wuzhi Grottoes is about sixty zhang in diameter, but that's not very precise because the entrance isn't regular.

But undoubtedly it is very big.
In the ink-black, it was impossible to make out the details. When those “starlights” leaped from the hole, the star beast’s true form was finally revealed before Jiang Wang's eyes.
"Star Beasts" is just a general term; these Star Beasts come in all shapes and sizes.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
This one that attacked during the celebration of the Fire Yuan year, it looked like a crow. Of course, any bird, as long as its size is right and it's black, would be hard not to mistake for a crow...
This raven-like creature, with eyes as black as night itself, only took on a discernible shape when bathed in the firelight after leaving the gloom of the depths.
Unlike crows, it has three bright spots on each of its wings, twinkling like stars.
As the celebratory firecrackers erupted, a single sword slash descended with pinpoint accuracy. Just as it was about to connect with the crow-like star beast, a line of fire ignited along the blade!
This corvid-like star beast vanished silently.
Jiang Wang did not immediately take action, but instead chose to observe. He observed both the weaknesses of the star beasts and the warriors of the Qihuo tribe. He wanted to choose the most suitable person who could help him in the upcoming game of life and death.
The fight raging around the entire hole was mostly within his sight.
Judging from the current situation, the combat strength of those who participated in the first wave of battle with Star Beasts during the Qihuo Yuanchen festival is considered to be among the stronger ones.
He is about the same strength as Hai Zhongqing's subordinate, Yan Er. He belongs to the kind of combat power that can be dominant in the Tenglong Realm within a prefecture.
The ways to use totemic power are many. Jiang Wang saw someone drawing a bow and releasing an arrow, the arrow trailing flames. He also saw someone sketching patterns out of thin air, creating effects similar to those of Daoist arts.
Jiang Wang initially believed that the power of the floating totem was similar to Dao Yuan, a foundation for transcendence. Of course, just in terms of origin, it was fundamentally different from Dao Yuan.

As for the Star Beasts, they weren't particularly fearsome in terms of defense, speed, or attack. They weren't much stronger than the ferocious beasts on Yuheng Peak, the only concern being their sheer number.
Jiang Wang's judgment was quickly overturned.
Because the relatively relaxed offensive only lasted for two rounds, the star beasts that surged up from the Nether Heaven in the third round had already drastically increased their power level!
Their body sizes haven't changed much, but the number of spots on their bodies has nearly doubled compared to the first generation of star beasts!

The blade celebrating the year of the Fire Rat was almost dodged by a monkey-shaped star beast. If it hadn't reacted in time, it would have been scratched hard.
The decision to preemptively reinforce the men with thick beards proved correct. In the face of the drastically increased power of the star beasts, the Qinghuo warriors still held their ground.
Many people were injured, but there have been no fatalities.
The wounds inflicted by the star beasts were not particularly unusual. They seemed no different from those caused by ordinary wild beasts. Perhaps these warriors had grown accustomed to the presence of star beasts, or perhaps the injuries they inflicted were not inherently serious.
Jiang Wang believes it is the former.
Starbeasts perish instantly upon death, leaving no loot behind. This is similar to the ferocious beasts of the present world. That is to say, fighting starbeasts seems to offer no benefits besides honing the military's combat strength.
This is the end of a paragraph.
This is the biggest problem.
All wars inevitably result in losses. If you cannot sustain a war through victory, then war becomes a process of suicide.
Jiang Wang personally witnessed how Sanshan City was overwhelmed by those ferocious beast lairs. He therefore understood why the situation in Floating Land was so tense and why the Qinhuo tribe was struggling like this.
Since the floating continent has such a long history, there must have been countless wise men who studied the existence of the ethereal heavens and star beasts countless times. They must have thought of countless ways... But no matter what methods they used, the final result remained the same: there was no good solution.
A fortress guards a cavern, warriors using their flesh and blood to hold back the star beasts. This ancient way of resisting continues to this day.
Jiang Wang didn't ponder how to solve this problem once and for all. He didn't believe he possessed wisdom far surpassing that of the people in Fulu, nor did he have a deep understanding of the Netherworld.
However, the initial observations are complete. At least, he no longer has to hide behind the celebration of the New Year.
"Step back."
Jiang Wang pushed back the exhausted Qinghuo Yuanchen, drew out his longsword Chang Xiangsi, and with a single sword strike beheaded the fox-shaped celestial beast whose starlight was concentrated on its head. onto a "stable" position, he could gradually suffocate his opponent.In fact, under the circumstances of a large-scale massacre, the fact that this person could struggle for so long with his inner str...
