Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 309: Charge into battle!

Green ripples spread from the Griggan relic, reflecting off the surrounding murky river water as if it were jade.

As the algae swayed in the river, they grew wildly and soon reached the water's surface.

The aquatic animals, such as fish and shrimp, affected by the ripples stopped swimming. Their bodies had completely turned into wood, resembling lifelike wooden carvings.

This time, the Griggan Relic trembled exceptionally violently, as if something was trying desperately to break free from the wooden carving.

However, the second ritual only activated 50% of the wood carving, which was clearly insufficient for complete activation. After trembling for a while, the wood carving could only reluctantly lie dormant once again.

"Whoa, surface!"

Xiao Long was taken aback. Even though their location had been exposed, it would still take at least a few minutes for the pursuers to arrive.

Moreover, he has a huge advantage in the water; if he were to swim at full speed now, he would definitely be no slower than a supercavitating torpedo.

But Aowu was only taken aback for a moment. No matter how many questions it had, they weren't the ones to ask now. All it had to do was obey its boss's every command.

"hold head high!"

The little dragon's clear roar echoed in the water, its youthful sound carrying a hint of domineering power.

The river's surface exploded, and a white dragon, encircling Li Xia's body, soared into the sky, stepping on the splashing water.

Then, without saying a word, it continued to fly rapidly at low altitude above the river.

The violent air currents generated by the flight tore through the river surface, causing the water to spread out to both sides in its path.

The starlight on Stan is extremely bright; even without moonlight, the bright starlight still illuminates the entire earth.

Awoo soon realized why the boss insisted on breaking out of the water.

Across the river ahead, lights shone brightly, and several Griggs priests, leaning on wooden staffs, were chanting incantations.

They were surrounded by Griggs riders clad in wooden armor.

The algae in the water were writhing wildly in the riverbed, tightly binding everything they touched.

"Grass!"

Awoo cursed under his breath, never expecting that these Griggans could even manipulate things like water plants.

Li Xia took a deep breath, and a bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from his right hand. The pitch-black Night Silence carried a chilling killing intent in the darkness.

His gaze was as cold as a knife, fixed intently on what lay ahead.

His charge was so loud that it naturally attracted the attention of the Griggans.

A smile appeared on the centurion's green face, which was covered by a visor. There is no greater merit than protecting the holy land.

Unexpectedly, he stumbled upon this great achievement. If he could capture the thief, it would be a great accomplishment, and his family might even have a place in the Holy Land.

Thinking this, a burning desire welled up uncontrollably in the centurion's heart.

"defense!"

He shouted and raised one hand, and immediately vines stretched out from the bodies of the Griggan cavalry behind him, connecting with each other.

Row upon row, they actually give the feeling of being linked together by iron chains.

Since the Gregans' main opponents were stonemen, and in order to counter the stonemen's tough skin, the Gregans primarily used blunt weapons.

Only those who are extremely confident in their own abilities will use sharp weapons.

The centurion picked up a long-handled hammer from beside the beast's saddle and gently tapped his ironwood helmet with the hammerhead.

After a crisp clang, he grinned and brandished his hammer, leading his personal guards forward and giving his cavalrymen ample time to regroup.

Once this army of thousands is linked together, even a commander of ten thousand men would find it difficult to withstand them.

"Thief! Prepare to die!"

The centurion leaped forward, his massive hammer, weighing over a thousand pounds, slamming down with terrifying force.

Li Xia's eyes flashed, and she nimbly flipped her body to the side like a swift flying close to the ground.

With his spear held straight forward, without any fancy movements, he used the momentum of his forward charge to pierce the centurion's head in one go.

The extremely sharp Night Silence seemed to pierce a soft lump of dough, and the gleaming gun blade burst out directly from the back of the head.

Li Xia released his grip immediately and continued forward without stopping. As he brushed past the stiff centurion, he reached out and grabbed a small section of the spear behind the centurion's head. Using the momentum of his forward charge, he drew the spear directly.

He had already arrived in front of the army formation. The centurion had died too quickly, so the army formation was not yet fully formed.

But the Griggan cavalry still managed to complete part of the mission. They showed no fear; instead, with bloodshot eyes, they charged straight toward Li Xia with shouts.

Li Xia's body shifted from being parallel to the ground to a standing position. The moment his feet touched the ground, a powerful force carved two deep furrows into the earth.

His steel-like muscles suddenly tensed to the extreme. While still sliding on the ground, Li Xia began to turn around, and his right hand, which was gripping the tip of the Night Silence Spear, loosened slightly.

The spear was flung outwards by centrifugal force, and when it reached the butt, the right hand gripped it tightly, and the shaft of the spear shuddered.

The centurion's blood on the gun exploded into a cloud of pale green smoke in the air.

"Buzz!"

A faint white light flashed across the spear, and Ye Ji drew an exaggerated arc in front of him.

It was as if a divine being had wielded a brush; all the Griggs cavalrymen felt as if their eyes were about to be blinded by the white light that burst forth before them.

A large, exaggerated crescent-shaped slash broke off from the spear blade, growing larger with each step forward.

It was just an illusory white light, yet it carried a sharp, chilling quality that sent shivers down one's spine.

The centurion, facing the slash head-on, felt every cell in his body screaming. He opened his mouth, about to warn the attacker.

Then he saw the white light flash past his body and continue to spread without stopping.

It only gradually weakened after piercing through the entire frontal encirclement, turning into specks of light and dissipating into the night sky. "Boom!"

The soil beneath Li Xia's feet exploded, and he once again soared low into the air.

He just left like that, what right did he have to?
Anger rose in the centurion's heart, and he reached out to shout for his soldiers to fire.

Just then, the air currents created by Li Xiafei's flight swept over.

A thin line of blood appeared on the centurion's neck, and his entire perspective seemed to spin.

Li Xia flew over their heads, leaving a trail of harvested wheat fields in his wake.

Heads rolled off one after another, and streams of pale green blood gushed out from the chest cavity.

The Griggan cavalrymen on the flanks felt as if their bodies were immersed in icy spring water, and felt a tingling, needle-like sensation on their scalps.

All the strength seemed to have been drained from his body, and he could only look in terror at the rows of headless corpses still sitting stiffly on the back of the beast.

Monster!

They turned to look at Li Xia, who had already gone far away, and surprisingly, what rose in their hearts was not worry, but relief—relief that the monster had left.

"Boss, is your true qi still sufficient?"

Awoo whistled towards the hundreds of headless cavalrymen and asked with some concern.

"It's alright, but we definitely need to be more frugal."

That strike was quite satisfying, but it also took a lot of energy. More importantly, it's only been a little over an hour, and we're still a long way from where the Stone Man Rebels agreed to meet.

The toughest battles are yet to come.

Not only should Li Xia be careful with his slashing attacks, but he should also be careful with his aerial maneuvers, as the aerial maneuvers consumed a lot of energy when used at full power.

Essentially, it is still a skill that transforms true qi into propulsion.

"Same as always, Awoo, take off and monitor the surrounding area."

The dragon egg was small and inconspicuous at a height of 100 meters, especially with Li Xia attracting attention on the ground.

"Roger that!"

We are still more than 600 kilometers away from the agreed location.

The current holding time of the Griggan Relic is 1 hour and 39 minutes.

Southern Front Army
Legion Commander 'Sword of the Empire' Scarpo sat in the camp, his armor gleaming with a peculiar luster.

Despite being extremely thin and light, it has an unparalleled sense of sturdiness.

This is the crystalline shell beneath the skin of a high-ranking stone golem, which must be peeled off while the person is still alive.

Then, using the Griggans' special plant technology, a moss-like plant layer is formed inside, which integrates with the crystal shell.

It was transformed into a glorious armor representing status and power—the Griggs's Enemy Armor.

Only Grigan, who personally defeated and captured the high stone golem, is qualified to wear this armor.

The ten pillars of the empire, each one of them is like this.

"Commander, the Laurel Thousand-Man Squad has been defeated by thieves. The Laurel Thousand-Man Squad has been killed in battle, and 30% of his soldiers have perished."

The messenger knelt on one knee and swiftly relayed the intelligence that had just arrived, using precise language:

"The cut was smooth. According to the other soldiers, the enemy was only one person, small in size, with a very light yellow skin."

"Suspected to be a member of the Stone Golem race with a congenital defect."

Scarpo narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping across the lifelike sand table in front of him before settling on the spot where the small flags were planted.

That was the location of the sacred object that was revealed during the second spirit offering.

Not far upstream along the river lies the position where the thousand-man squad was breached.

Laurel, the captain of a thousand men, Scarpo had heard of this name before. He was a rather outstanding centurion among the Holy Land Guards.

It is certain that the laurels will connect and form a battle formation upon discovering the enemy.

Such a military formation would be difficult even for them to handle.

Therefore, the enemy is extremely strong and can break through the army formation in a very short time.
No, it's impossible.

Scarpo's eyes gleamed with a cold light; even the Ten Pillars of the Empire couldn't achieve such strength.

It must have been his extremely fast speed, combined with his outstanding strength, that allowed him to break through the blockade before the military formation was fully formed.

Even so, the opponent's strength should not be underestimated.

When did the Stone People produce such a talent, who, with a 'naturally weak' physique, was able to cultivate to this level?

The adjutant, who had been waiting quietly for a while, saw that Scarpo had finally finished his contemplation and hurriedly asked in a low voice.

"Commander, should we immediately send troops to surround the breach point?"

"Surrounded?"

Scarpo stood up, and the 'Enemy-Defending Armor' clanged together with a crisp, pleasant sound.

A smile appeared on his face:
"Surround the air?"

Please take note of the following arrangements I'm making!
