Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

Flying Technique! Full Power Unleashed!

With its immense power and explosive aerial maneuver, the tree trunk dragged across the ground, carving deep furrows.

When it hits other tree trunks, it makes a loud crashing sound.

The manager couldn't help but turn around, and the smile on his face slowly froze.

Looking at Li Xia, whose body was bound by chains and who was charging straight towards them while dragging a huge tree trunk.

The manager felt his heart pounding wildly as he was assaulted by the fierce aura that seemed determined to kill him.

That tree trunk must weigh at least two or three hundred pounds, and dragging it on the ground would be even more strenuous.

How could it be so fast?

What...what kind of monster is this?!

The intelligence only mentioned that he was proficient in both spear and unarmed combat, and was suspected to be a dual-skill master at level 4 or above.

But they never mentioned this terrifying mid-range wave-type skill!

Grass!

For the first time, the manager felt a pang of regret, but not for the ambush and killing of Li Xia.

Instead, they regretted not being more prepared, if they had brought along another small team, and if they had been prepared for the opponent to injure themselves.

They rescued the 'analyst'.

I'm absolutely certain I can kill him!

But it doesn't matter now.

The manager tore open the acceleration scroll, increasing his speed by another 20%.

Even if the opponent is fierce, they're still slower dragging the tree trunk than I am, plus the scroll...

They'll definitely be able to escape.

Your teammate is dead!

? ? !

The immense shock even caused the manager to pause his sprint for a moment.

"boom!"

He felt a chill that went straight to his soul from behind, a chill that was so cold.

It seems to have seeped into the depths of my soul, seeping into my very bones.

The manager turned around stiffly, only to see a blood-covered figure standing behind him.

Those eyes, one white and one red, were looking at me indifferently.

The jet-black spear had somehow pierced his chest.

His vision gradually blurred, the manager's lips moved, and his gaze went over Li Xia's shoulder to see his teammates lying on the ground in the distance.

The black kitten was slowly pulling its claws out of his throat.

Palico...killed three Tier 3 Apostles?

The manager gave a trembling laugh: "How...absurd..."

[Executioner, you have eliminated the entire manipulator squad and the black gun squad. Your counterattack privileges have expired.]

A faint crimson glow appeared on the manager's corpse, and a delicate key slowly materialized from the light.

Aowu stepped forward and retrieved the bloody key that had surfaced on the manager's body.

He exhaled a stream of air from his nose: "Enough with the nonsense!"

Black Charcoal also darted out from the side, its ears twitching occasionally, its little cat face full of excitement and agitation.

It achieved a great victory in this battle, securing a triple kill!

Before this, Heitan never imagined he could achieve such a feat.

With a flick of Li Xia's hand, the silence of the night turned into specks of light and gradually dissipated.

"Blackie! Don't lick your paws!"

The charcoal-colored creature, which was instinctively preparing to lick its fur, froze, staring at the still-wet blood on its body.

I meowed apologetically.

"Boss, do you want to take a break?"

"Awoo" looked at Li Xia, who was covered in blood, and said in a low voice.

"Um...no!"

Li Xia was about to agree when she suddenly remembered something, her eyes lit up, and she forced herself to stand up despite her exhaustion:

"We won't rest, we'll go straight back to Konoha."

Return to Konoha?

Awoo was taken aback, but slowly began to understand what it meant.

"Boss...you mean...our identities might have been exposed, and we could very well become a thorn in the side of the other apostles."

"Yes, my injuries look terrible, but they are not vital and will heal quickly."

It would be better to return to Hyuga with these injuries and rightfully wait for the end within the Hyuga mansion.

Li Xia continued:

"We've already made a lot of money in the first round. Now the more important thing is how to plan the second round, especially for Hiruzen Sarutobi."

I don't have time to play this game of fishing and being fished with other people.

If we want to achieve our previous goal of getting the highest score, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

There is one problem that cannot be avoided.

That is, at the beginning of the second round of main quests, Orochimaru will directly use the Four Purple Sun Formation to create a closed space.

If you choose the third generation, you must be inside the space; otherwise, you will be unable to enter once the barrier is formed.

This is the dilemma that the Temple of Light left for the apostles.

The third generation will be killed by the plot, leaving room for maneuver. If you succeed, you'll get 10,000 points!

Aren't you tempted?

But you can only choose one: the possible 10,000 points, or those scattered but stable points outside?

"Okay!"

Li Xia sat and rested for a while, waiting for Heitan and Aowu to carefully examine the corpse.

They only found some scattered pieces, which weren't worth much money.

There are also three headbands from Konoha and two from Sunagakure.

This should be the result of the first round of main quests for the two teams, the Trader and the Black Gun.

To be able to obtain the identity of a ninja, and seemingly even a Chunin, one's ranking must be quite high.

Many apostles are simply menial servants; for example, Li Xia saw an apostle set up a barbecue stall in Konoha.

They made a lot of money and felt so happy they forgot about home.

Clutching the blood-stained headband in his hand, Li Xia pondered for a moment before stuffing it directly into his pocket.

It seems... we could make use of that?

At this moment, we are less than ten kilometers away from Konoha, within the inner circle of Konoha's security perimeter.

The defense level here is far lower than that of the Death Forest area; it's more like a buffer zone.

So much so that the brief conflict that occurred here didn't even attract the attention of the Konoha defense forces.

"The kitten is amazing now!"

On the way back, Aowu praised Heitan's performance, from only being able to play support roles to getting a triple kill.

This transformation made Teacher Ao very gratified.

"Meow!"

Black Charcoal twitched its ears happily; as a hunting cat, its very nature was definitely not about being cute.

Rather, it represents the most primal and naked intent of hunting.

Li Xia then analyzed the previous battle for the dragon and the cat, and did a recap.

It's mainly about the kitten; he's afraid that Black Charcoal might get a little too 'overconfident' and make a rash move.

"Kurotan's strength has indeed improved a lot, but the main reason is his opponent."

He was facing the Black Gun Squad, a team of two ranged apostles.

"These two are countered by Black Charcoal, as their main means of attack are bows and arrows and firearms."

Once someone gets close, it's difficult to mount an effective counterattack.

Kurozumi possesses the Sharingan, giving him an exceptional ability to observe subtle movements that far surpasses theirs, and he also has remarkable dynamic vision.

In other words, Hei Tan could clearly see every step the other party took: 'holding the gun, aiming, and firing'.

And make the corresponding judgment.

Li Xia's voice wasn't loud, but Heitan and Aowu listened carefully.

"In addition, Hei Tan is small in size and his body can keep up with the reaction speed, which means that the two of them are actually completely suppressed."

Plus, I was there beside her, which distracted her a bit.

Naturally, they made a mistake in their haste, allowing Heitan to seize the opportunity and capture them. The dark kitten was still in the dark of night.

In addition, he learned all sorts of random ninjutsu such as the Shadow Clone Technique and the Shadow Clone Technique.

It can only be said that those two remote apostles did not die unjustly.

"If it were a melee apostle or a magic apostle, Black Charcoal would be in trouble; he'd be lucky to even stall for a while."

Li Xia concluded that the kitten still needed to improve!

He positioned Black Charcoal as a sub-DPS. As his sub-DPS, how could he not take on an Apostle of the same rank in a one-on-one fight?

As for Awoo...

The main issue is that Aowu hasn't been resurrected yet. We'll determine its role based on its attributes once it's resurrected.

"Apostles still fight with their brains... It would be better if there were more brutes."

Aowu sighed. As the ranks increased, everyone became more and more cunning, and that Green Light Knight didn't take his teammates seriously at all.

They were ruthless enough to abandon them outright.

"That's inevitable, after all, a brute... won't live long."

Li Xia smiled and looked up into the distance.

Konoha... is right before our eyes.

.............

The night was as still as water, and the cold crescent moon hung high in the night sky, like a layer of white frost covering the earth.

Most of the lights in Konoha have been extinguished, leaving only a few scattered candle flames flickering in the darkness.

After washing up, Hiashi Hyuga changed into soft pajamas and, as usual, sat in the main hall of the house.

First, she imagined a wonderful future where the Hyuga clan would flourish, trying not to laugh, before getting up and heading to her bedroom.

The maids had already laid out bedding on the tatami mats.

The bedding, which is aired out every day, has a special smell that Japanese people particularly like.

He even saw a warm image of his mother smiling and telling him when he was a child that this was the smell of sunshine.

Hiashi Hyuga closed his eyes contentedly.

Sigh... another simple, unremarkable, and boring day...
