Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 85 The Sudden Death Warning

As the darkness dissipated, Li Xia opened his eyes and looked around at his surroundings.

The flat gravel ground covered the entire area as far as the eye could see, dotted with a few cacti and clumps of weeds, and weathered rocks were everywhere.

They varied in height, casting dappled shadows of varying sizes under the blazing sun.

desert?

It doesn't quite look like it; it's more like the America West from a cowboy movie I've seen before.

The hall's notification appeared at that moment.

Location services have been temporarily enabled, and the locations of the Apostles of the Void have been marked in real time!

Something resembling a satellite image suddenly appeared before Li Xia's eyes.

The map also thoughtfully marks its distance from the Apostles of the Void: 13496 kilometers.

Li Xia:
No, how much?
More than 10,000 kilometers?

[WARNING: King Pilaf, a key character in the current secondary storyline, is dead.]

King Pilaf.
Li Xia was suddenly startled. After thinking carefully, he realized that it was the same blue-skinned little guy who was part of the comedic trio in the early episodes and later released Piccolo.
Suddenly, the dots on the map began to move at an astonishing speed, reaching at least two or three hundred kilometers per hour.

However, the direction in which the light spot moved was completely opposite to the direction Li Xia expected.

Looking at the light spot getting further and further away, Li Xia felt somewhat helpless.

There's no other way! To catch up with the light, we obviously need to use transportation.
Li Xia zoomed in on the map. If he wanted transportation, he would have to go to a city. The nearest city was Xidu!

Couldn't this hall just leave me not far from the Apostles of the Void Abyss?

After silently grumbling for a moment, just as I was about to take a step, I suddenly remembered something.

Li Xia crouched down slightly, then suddenly leaped up.

With a whoosh, he leaped nearly ten meters into the air like an arrow, then landed lightly on the ground.

As expected! The records were correct; the gravity in the Dragon Ball world is extremely unique.

Compared to the standard gravity in the real world and the palace, the gravity here is only about a quarter of it.

Take Li Xia himself as an example. If he jumps with all his might, he might even reach a height of seventy or eighty meters.

Many apostles need a considerable amount of time to adapt.

Furthermore, the Dragon Ball world rarely features special skills, and there's nothing particularly special about the equipment; at most, there are some standard firearms.

This world's specialty is compressed capsules, which are extremely convenient, but the frustrating thing is that if you want to take the capsule out of the world, you need at least 2 points for notarization fees.

This was clearly an unbearable burden for the vast majority of the apostles who were short of money!

Therefore, few people are willing to come to Dragon Ball, simply because the benefits are too small.

Some have speculated that Dragon Ball's skills would require the use of characters like Master Roshi, but the creators only established the Earth Saga, at most reaching the Piccolo Daimaō stage.

Sending lower-ranking apostles to fight them only shows that the apostles are willing to take risks, but not willing to die.

Li Xia wouldn't have wanted to come if he didn't have a specific purpose.

After determining the direction, Li Xia strode towards the Western Capital.

He didn't exert any effort; he simply let his body move naturally in sync with the rhythm of his breathing.

Even so, his speed was not slow. The wind whistled in his ears, and he seemed to be even faster than a normal person sprinting 100 meters.

Based on this speed, it should take about two hours to reach Xidu.

[Warning: The current secondary storyline pivot character, Wulong, has died.] [Warning: The current secondary storyline pivot character, Le'er, has died.]

[WARNING: Yamcha, a key character in the current subplot, is dead.]

Li Xia suddenly stopped, staring blankly at the still-refreshing notification.

[WARNING: Too many key characters in the current secondary storyline have died; a chain reaction of collapse is imminent]

[WARNING: Only 4 key characters remain in this chain reaction of plot collapse! If even one of them dies, the Dragon Ball world will collapse!]

[Current key characters in the storyline: Master Roshi, Goku, Krillin, Bulma]

In that instant, Li Xia's brain started working at lightning speed, his eyes fixed on the map and the prompts.

The red dot representing the Apostle of the Void Abyss is changing direction and rushing straight toward Li Xia's position at an extremely fast speed.

No! His target is Xidu!

All the clues came together in that instant.

Li Xia instantly understood why the palace hadn't placed him next to the intruder.

While pondering, he suddenly burst into a sprint, a far cry from his previous leisurely jogging.

Each step kicked up a cloud of dust, as if the wind was blowing beneath his feet, truly making him as fast as a galloping horse.

No wonder the temple didn't place itself near the invaders.

Li Xia's breathing remained quite steady, but the scenery in her eyes began to tremble when they exceeded 150 kilometers, and the gale pressed her clothes tightly against her body.

Besides the whistling wind, all I could hear was my own breathing.

The Apostle of the Void was clearly faster than himself, and his goal from beginning to end was to kill the characters in the story and destroy the world.

And he must have the ability to detect the location of characters in the story!
King Pilaf, Le'er, Yamcha, and Oolong are not particularly strong fighters; even Li Xia himself could easily defeat them.

As for the remaining four main characters, Master Roshi, Goku, and Krillin are all together. Master Roshi at full power could even be considered the strongest person on Earth in Dragon Ball.

If any of the Apostles of Xuyuan had any sense, they wouldn't have tried to gnaw on those three tough nuts.

In comparison, Bulma is as delicate as a little white flower, and it's obvious who's easy to bully!
So the Hall placed itself near the Western Capital, sacrificing the lives of several other characters in the story for seven hours!

No, excluding travel time, I only have six hours left.
The main questline has been changed!

[Current Main Quest: Protect Bulma and defeat the Apostles of the Void!]

[Main Quest Rewards: Attribute Points*5, Time-Space Coins*1, Executioner Star Rating +1, Notary Fee Waiver Certificate*3]

[Punishment for mission failure: Forced execution!]

Li Xia glanced at it briefly before looking away.

Even if the mission fails and the hall doesn't execute you, you're doomed anyway—it's a collapse of the world!

So, how can we protect Bulma?

The opponent has a speed advantage, and if they encounter any obstacles, they can easily use their speed advantage to overpower Bulma.
A tall, pointed tower gradually appeared on the distant horizon.

Then a futuristic city comes into view, with a huge circular track like a ribbon encircling the city.

Anti-gravity hovercars float everywhere, and huge billboards hang from all sorts of airships.

This is the most prosperous city in the Dragon Ball world—West Capital!
