Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 299 Instantaneous Kill!

"That's it."

With a clang, the Murakumo sword, which was held across his waist, was drawn from its sheath, and Li Xia held the sword in his left hand.

With a few casual swings, a faint sword light flew from the blade, easily clearing away a small patch of nearby vegetation.

Li Xia released his grip, and the longsword flew back into its sheath with remarkable intelligence.

From the perspective of the martial arts he learned, spears and swords are inseparable, and the vast majority of sword techniques evolved from spear techniques.

So this is a big reason why Li Xia chose the sword as his secondary weapon; it's also very easy to use.

"Black Charcoal, go up the tree and observe the movements over the giant pit."

The kitten nodded, and in a few moments it scrambled up the tall tree, gazing into the distance.

While the Sharingan is far inferior to the Byakugan in terms of telescopic ability, the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is still far superior to normal eyes.

Therefore, based solely on observation, black charcoal is undoubtedly the most suitable.

Li Xia sat cross-legged on the ground, but upon closer inspection, he was actually about five centimeters away from the ground.

He is now very proficient in using the Flying Technique; this is the benefit of infusing skills.

Regular practice can also improve proficiency, and infusion simply speeds up this process.

Fixed skills won't work because with fixed skills, your body simply releases the commands according to the pre-defined program of the Temple of Light.

Perhaps the release method and proficiency can be optimized, but it remains a matter of knowing how but not why.

Li Xia directly opened the guild channel so that Xiao Mao could hear and participate in the discussion.

"Our first target is the Griggan sacred totem, which should be that seed."

As he spoke, he wrote the word "seed" with an air pen.

Tiny robots emerged from the 'pen tip' and hovered steadily in mid-air, forming 'clear strokes'.

"According to the introduction, this seed is very important and has a positive effect on fertility in the Gregane people."

Aowu nodded: "Anything that can promote fertility is obviously extremely precious to a group race like them, so this seed will definitely be heavily guarded!"

Stan Star is at the third-tier combat power level. According to the intelligence provided by the Hall of Light, the peak combat power level is the top-tier third-tier level.

That's the level of the top 100 in the Tier 3 Arena, very strong!

Putting aside other things, the maximum value of a third-tier attribute is fifty points, and the top-tier third-tier attribute is at least forty points or more.

Li Xia figured that if it were a life-or-death struggle, he would only be around 100, and it would be very difficult to go any higher.

The difference in attributes and skills is a fact. These top experts can't compare to me in each world, but with four more worlds, the gap is still quite terrifying.

Aowu also thought of this and said with some worry, "Heavily guarded. It will be difficult to even get the seeds, right?"

"On the contrary!"

A glimmer of light appeared in Li Xia's eyes:
"I suspect that getting the seeds isn't difficult; the real challenge is holding onto them for eight hours!"

"Huh? Why (meow?)"

"Because such a precious sacred object is also a totem, according to conventional thinking, the guarding of such a treasure that concerns the entire race would be unimaginably tight."

With my current strength, it's impossible for me to break in, much less obtain the sacred artifact.

Even if we manage to bring the stone men along, it will be difficult. Thirty days, minus the time spent traveling and the initial preparations, will leave us with at most twenty days.

How could he possibly have the already domesticated stone men charge into battle with him for twenty days?

Moreover, if the stone golem had the ability to rush into someone else's core area and steal sacred relics, how could it have been beaten like this?

Li Xia pointed to the sky:
"It's very simple. If that's really the case, even a tiny guild couldn't do it."

The Temple of Light would never assign a task that it cannot complete.

His tone was resolute:
"There must be some special circumstances, such as a special day, or a special method to obtain the sacred totem!"

"It makes sense!"

Awoo excitedly slapped its eggshell, making a crisp impact sound, and even sparks flew out!

"Next up is the Stone Golem race."

Li Xia held up one finger: "The Stone Clan's hatred for the Griggans is beyond doubt, but perhaps we can't get them to fight alongside me."

"But having the Stone Golems cause some trouble for the Gregan shouldn't be a problem; we'll need to make some contact with the Stone Golems before making any further plans."

Just as he was about to continue, Black Charcoal's voice suddenly rang out in the team channel:
"Meow!"

Someone is coming?
Li Xia and Aowu immediately stopped their discussion and flew straight to the treetops.

Scott zoomed in on the image through his right eye, clearly showing the scene beside the giant crater.

Aowu then waved his dragon claw, and a stream of clear water shot up from the water cup placed on the dragon egg, forming several convex lenses of water in front of him.

It was as if the distance had been directly shortened, and the scene was presented right in front of us.

And this hand?
It seems that Aowu hasn't been idle either, and is also figuring out how to use his water control ability.

Li Xia simply skipped Scott and watched the footage of Aowu's throw.

A group of figures, each about three meters tall, riding wild beasts resembling wild boars, galloped from afar, heading straight for the sinkhole.

These people had green skin, bulging muscles, and rugged features. They wore armor made of a peculiar material that was difficult to distinguish.

They must be from Griggs.

"Why do these Griggans look a bit like giant goblins? No, they're better looking than goblins."

"Awoo," he said, pinching his chin, and his comment was surprisingly apt.

Li Xia narrowed his eyes. From the time he landed to the time he arrived here, excluding the initial waiting time due to dizziness, plus the time spent discussing and deliberating, it had only taken about 10 minutes.

A small squad of Griggs arrived within ten minutes; their reaction was truly astounding.

Either there's a Griggan stronghold nearby, or their sensitivity is beyond expectation.

"1236"

As he counted the number, he was about to speak when he suddenly saw dust rising in the distance.

Then another group of Griggans came from a distance, followed by several 'boar beasts' pulling a makeshift cart.

"This is--"

Li Xia looked at the large truck reflected in the water mirror, and saw a figure with tan skin huddled inside the iron fence.

The terms 'hunting grounds' and 'quotas' mentioned in the world introduction came to mind.

Li Xia immediately realized that this was very likely a hunting team hunting the Stone Golems!
They must have been hunting nearby and came over immediately after noticing the commotion.

Even the hunting of these Griggans has only just begun.

Given the size of this large cart, it was clearly not meant to carry just two stone figures.

Therefore, we should be in the territory of the Stone Golems!

A good start. As long as we find the Stone Golems, we can at least gather more information.

The world introduction only provides a general overview of the history of Stan.

True intelligence comes from the smallest details!
"Boss, should we go?" Awoo had obviously thought of this as well and was eager to try.

Although the distance was too great for Scott to detect their attributes, the sixteen Griggans were all similar in both equipment and size.

It is clearly not an 'elite unit', or rather, not a 'boss unit'.

"Approach within 1 kilometer, Black Charcoal provides remote support, Awoo provides backup, let's go!"

The centurion, Nosh, picked up some dirt from the ground and put it directly into his mouth, his expression gradually becoming serious.

The nature of this land has completely changed; it must have taken an incredibly powerful force to cause such a change in the soil's properties.

Those who can do this are few and far between, even within the entire Grigan clan.

"Such exaggerated destructive power!"

Another decimator, Lyle, looked at the enormous crater, which was hundreds of meters in diameter, with an equally solemn expression.

"They left behind a huge crater, but nothing was there; they've clearly left. Should we give chase?"

Nosh shook his head:

"Report this to higher authorities. This force is clearly beyond our ability to contend with. Our mission is to capture a high-quality stone boar for the twelfth child of the adults."

Nothing is more important than completing the mission; these things are better suited to be left to the 'Vine' guys.

Vines?
Lyle pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded. Indeed, it was most suitable to leave it to them.

He was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed, and so did Nosh's.

The two men turned to look into the distance at the same time, and saw a Griggs cavalryman standing by the pit, peering curiously, suddenly tremble.

His head looked like a smashed watermelon, with pale green liquid and fragments splattering in all directions.

"Enemy attack!!!"

Although they didn't know what methods were used, the two deputies still shouted at the top of their lungs.

Previously, they had only sensed something unusual from a distance.

But he never expected that his soldiers' heads would explode like that.

The cavalrymen instinctively charged towards their mounts, while the guards shouted "Yo-ho!"

He tightened the reins and ran quickly around, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily.

It was for reconnaissance, and also to evade that inconceivable long-range attack.

The skeleton Susanoo pulled the bolt, and a bright orange shell casing ejected from the Nax sniper rifle.

It landed on the ground, and wisps of blue smoke rose up.

Kurotan's Sharingan slowly rotated, and the seemingly erratic movement of the cavalry was a joke in its eyes.

These eyes are incredibly sharp when it comes to anticipating movements.

One!
"Good job!"

Li Xia praised him in the guild channel, the wind whistling in his ears, the surrounding scenery even being stretched into abstract lines.

He dashed through the dense forest toward the giant pit like a bolt of lightning.

The wind whipped up by his running caused the surrounding trees to sway their branches.

The two quartermasters, seeing the commotion in the dense forest, narrowed their eyes, raised their hands, and shouted sternly:
"Scouts, return to camp immediately and report the situation. The rest of you, disperse!"

Of the remaining dozen or so soldiers, four Griggan cavalrymen immediately turned their mounts around and, without any communication, naturally split into four groups and charged out.

Such strong combat skills!
As Li Xia ran at high speed, he opened his palm, and the silence of the night, accompanied by the sharp, piercing sound of lightning, appeared in his hand.

"Stab!"

The lightning spear swiftly sliced ​​through the air and flew rapidly, accurately piercing a scout.

Because of its incredible speed, it even left a clear trail, as if a beam of light had shot out from Li Xia's hand, instantly traversing the distance.

He activated the Flying Dance Technique at full power, and the true qi overflowing from the pores of his body violently shot backward, transforming into a powerful reaction force that increased his speed even further.

The squad leader, filled with shock and rage, grabbed his weapon and, seeing Li Xia charging straight at him, slammed it down with all his might.

The enormous wooden club, resembling a hammer, whistled through the wind; even from a distance, one could feel its surging power.

This strike was timed with perfect precision, and the giant hammer was getting closer and closer to Li Xia.

A glint of wild joy flashed in the eyes of the centurion Lyle; even their commander of ten thousand dared not take his hammer blow head-on.

During military competitions, even the commander of ten thousand men had personally praised his hammer strike.

You should know that a centurion is one of the top 100 strongest people in the entire Grigan race!
Die!

Lyle's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and a blinding light suddenly flashed on his hammer as he slammed it down on the man's head.

Unexpectedly, the hammer did not give me the feedback it had always given me; instead, it felt like I had hit thin air.

The terrifying force sent Lyle flying, spinning him around once.

Flying Thunder God!
Li Xia suddenly appeared dozens of meters away, reached out and grasped the spear, and as easily as popping a balloon, thrust the spear into the scout's head.

With just a slight flick of the wrist, the scout's head exploded, just like before.

[Executioner, you have slain the Grigane cavalryman]

Ignoring the warning from the Temple of Light, while still in mid-air, the spear in his hand spun around and flew towards another scout.

At the same time, the Murakumo Sword, which was strapped to his back, was drawn from its sheath with a clear and melodious sound. It trembled in the air and split into three, rapidly spinning in mid-air as it flew toward another scout.

With another flash, the spear in his hand silently pierced the head of another scout, and then exploded as well.

The Murakumo Sword, like a meat grinder, ripped a transparent hole in the scout's chest.

Pale green leaves scatter wildly, leaving a trail of 'blood' on the ground as the beast beneath him gallops.

Li Xia landed lightly on the ground, his spear pointing diagonally at the ground, and the pale green blood of the Griggan dripped down the blade onto the muddy ground.

The Murakumo Sword flew in from afar like a swimming fish, its three blades nimbly circling around its body.

Another squad leader, Nosh, glared furiously at the suddenly appearing 'person,' and in just a moment, three of the four scouts were dead.

A flicker of relief crossed his mind—thankfully, there was still one left.

Li Xia looked at the remaining ten cavalrymen and suddenly tilted his head to the left.

"whoosh"

A streak of fire grazed past his ear, lifting a strand of his hair.

The head of the scout, who was already a hundred meters away, suddenly exploded, trembled weakly twice, and fell to the ground.

"Meow!"

(The second one!)

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

Sigh, my little one, who just had his birthday yesterday, suddenly started vomiting and having diarrhea today. We took him to the hospital for a checkup, but they found nothing wrong.
