Alone and Infinite

The next second, thunder and lightning rained down!

These tiny lightning bolts are not very powerful, but they are extremely fast and have a paralyzing effect. Once paralyzed, subsequent lightning bolts will keep coming.

It could even paralyze someone and kill them!

Li Xia took a deep breath, focused his attention to the limit, and wholeheartedly perceived everything above him.

They were trying their best to squeeze every last bit of energy out of their bodies.

My heart was pounding violently, pumping blood to every corner of my body.

"Bang bang bang bang bang"

Her heartbeat quickened, like a rapid drumbeat. When it exceeded two hundred beats per minute, Li Xia felt a strange buzzing sound in her ears.

Time around us suddenly slowed down and gradually faded, leaving only black and white.

The Qilin's body also became strange, as if only glowing veins remained, intertwined into a somewhat distorted shape.

The muscles were a distinctly black color, yet somewhat blurry.

Even more vivid is the sky above, where the only light in the entire world shines.

A small dot will occasionally appear on the ground.

what is this?

Li Xia was a little confused. After avoiding all the dots, he saw thin streaks of lightning striking the dots in the sky.

Oh. Is this where the lightning struck?

Thus, in Qilin's eyes, Li Xia appeared to be dancing amidst thunder.

An unintentional turn of the body miraculously avoided the lightning bolt that was falling from the sky.

As the lightning became more and more frequent, his 'dance' quickened accordingly.

It even left behind afterimages of different shapes.

"hold head high!"

The Qilin stomped its hooves with all its might, and electric currents surged and crisscrossed on the ground, like a cage, firmly locking Li Xia in the middle.

A blinding flash of lightning erupted once more from its single horn, and the dark clouds high above seemed to boil.

Li Xia, who was in the 'Transparent World', suddenly felt a tremendous force coming from the spear in his hand.

It seemed as if something invisible on the ground was pulling the spear downwards at breakneck speed.

The world regained its color, and Li Xia raised his head, meeting Qilin's gaze through the cage of lightning.

Under the bewildered gaze of the Qilin, it raised its hand high and pointed to the sky.

"Meow!"

"Justice from heaven!"

Awoo translated Black Charcoal's words, its claws gripping Black Charcoal's backpack as it swooped down like a bomber.

Three barrel-shaped jars fell from the sky.

"boom!"

A huge flame shot into the sky, and the raging flames instantly engulfed the entire platform.

Our specially made super incendiary bombs are made with high-quality materials, and we treat everyone honestly and fairly. Their main selling point is their 'violent' nature!

The combined effect of these three is beyond imagination.

The black charcoal in the sky excitedly waved its claws:

"Meow! (Art is an explosion!)"

Amidst the raging flames, the fine dragon scales covering Li Xia's body shimmered as he slowly walked forward, spear in hand, stepping through the flames.

The original lightning cage strangely twisted and dissipated before the Qilin's incredulous gaze.

The silent spear tip slowly swept across the ground, and flames ignited on the gleaming blade.

A faint current of electricity flashed through the air, that was the Qilin's ultimate move.

But Li Xia was even faster!

"instant!"

Flames exploded to both sides, followed by violent gusts of air that swept behind Li Xia.

Aowu and Heitan watched this scene from high above, feeling as if Li Xia had transformed into a giant dragon made of flames.

It pierced through the Qilin's body in an instant at an incredible speed.

As the flames roared over the platform and gradually subsided, Aowu and Heitan were finally able to see the scene before them clearly.

Li Xia held up his spear, and Ye Ji pierced through the Qilin's jaw, going straight into its brain.

The surging true qi twisted the Qilin's brain to pieces.

The lightning that had been brewing in the dark clouds lost the guidance of the Qilin and eventually became an exceptionally dazzling bolt of lightning, illuminating the entire Coral Highlands.

On the high platform below, flames danced in the gale.

Li Xia and Qilin stood motionless amidst the flames.

Those scarlet eyes gazed intently at Li Xia's figure, as if trying to etch him into the depths of their souls.

Then it slowly lost its light, its huge body lost its strength, and its front hooves staggered twice.

He suddenly knelt down in front of Li Xia.

[Executioner, you have slain the Ancient Dragon, Mythical Beast, Tempered Kirin!]

[You have slain an Ancient Dragon for the first time in this world!]

You have received an extra material box - Kirin!

You have earned the Hunter's Guild's praise.

You have been promoted to G-rank Hunter.

[Dragon Slayer Progress +1]

Li Xia's mind suddenly relaxed. He drew his spear and looked at the Qilin, which had lost its support and fallen to the side.

He simply sat on the Qilin's corpse, took out Bilbo's pipe, and exhaled a long breath amidst the wisps of smoke.

Health Points: 28.6%, True Qi Points: 6

This battle was exceptionally difficult, even beyond what one would expect from a Qilin.

Li Xia shook his head. He hadn't expected his luck to be so bad, encountering a monster with its own 'mechanics'.

The Qilin itself is not strong, and it doesn't even rank among the strongest ancient dragons.

As a 'mage', many ancient dragons can withstand its powerful lightning strikes by relying on their strong bodies and then beat it up in close combat.

However, similarly, as a 'mage', using lightning to bully creatures weaker than oneself is simply a matter of dimensional reduction.

Simply put, Qilin is a 'master of smurfing'; he can't play high-level games, but he's invincible at 'stomping noobs'!

What left Li Xia speechless was the venue itself; it was practically a match made in heaven!

Its location is extremely high, at least a thousand meters above sea level.

More importantly, this platform also contains extremely high-purity iron ore. Yes, in Monster Hunter World, you can directly mine extremely high-purity refined iron ore.

It's like fighting a Qilin that controls thunder on a refined iron platform.

The force interfering with his spear was not some strange power, but a super electromagnet created by the Qilin using celestial currents.

The Qilin may not understand what an electromagnet is, but in its long life, it discovered this place that was always struck by lightning.

And having settled here, using lightning to strengthen themselves, they also discovered this strange power.

The other side has the advantage of timing, location, and popular support!

If it weren't for this incredibly strong suction constantly interfering with him, it would have already pierced through the Qilin's skull.

So Li Xia had Aowu and Heitan throw incendiary bombs. The workers' incendiary bombs were made of solid materials and even had some advanced technology.

The temperature was extremely high, and by using the high temperature to weaken the magnetism, they finally seized the opportunity.

The battle-hardened Kirin has a high combat intelligence; it doesn't even maintain its suction power continuously, only releasing and releasing it intermittently when Li Xia attacks.

In other words, the Qilin failed because it didn't understand the physics that high temperatures demagnetize.

I've heard that many advanced spatial skills require calculating spatial coordinates and constructing multi-layered spatial models in the mind.

You absolutely cannot use it if your intelligence attribute is insufficient.

No wonder it's so important to emphasize attribute balance; the intelligence attribute is also quite important!

Li Xia puffed on his cigarette, letting his health points slowly regenerate.

The flames gradually subsided, turning from scorching hot to warm, and shouts echoed from the sky:

"partner!"

"Your Highness!"

"Meow!"

Li Xia's spirits lifted, and he raised his head.

The helper for disposing of the body has arrived!

The moment to reap the rewards has finally arrived, let's get started!

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

It was a bit difficult to write.

Information on the light orange equipment in Chapter 163!

The observer stood before the Qilin's corpse with a reverent attitude, taking out his notebook and recording various data.

She didn't bring a camera. Cameras are a rare commodity in the Monster Hunter world. Li Xia has never understood how Monster Hunter's twisted technology tree was developed.

To put it simply, it had railguns, cameras, and jet swords with considerable energy compression rates.

It's advanced in that it has an ultra-high strength transformation mechanism mounted on the switch axe, allowing it to launch small missiles using the crossbow.

Li Xia sat to one side, using a knife to cut away the flesh on his body that had been roasted by lightning.

The roasted meat has completely lost its vitality and cannot be restored; it will rot and smell bad if left for another two days.

Large beads of sweat seeped from his forehead, and with each piece of flesh cut away, his powerful body stopped the bleeding at an incredibly fast pace.

Actually, it's quite easy to tell which meat is cooked and which isn't. If you can't cut it with a knife, it's not cooked.

Under intense pain, Li Xia began to use methods to distract herself from the pain.

The flesh that has been removed is actually very difficult to regenerate, but the body's repair capabilities can be temporarily activated using DNA repair agents.

It is sufficient to handle injuries that do not involve limb regeneration.

It is also the medicine that the apostles use most to restore their 'injury bar'. It is expensive, but it is a necessity.

One of the top chambers of commerce that produces this medicine has made a fortune from it.

When they were finally done, Li Xia kicked the pieces of meat into the still-burning flames.

Kurotan's eyes have turned into starry eyes. Kurotan, who is determined to become the strongest Palico, thinks that this is how a hunter (cat) should be!

"Your Highness?" Awoo offered a bottle of slow-recovery potion with its paw.

Li Xia shook his head: "No need. We'll definitely need to go back to the base to rest after we finish collecting the materials. This injury will heal on its own."

Soon, Aowu, Heitan, and the observer surrounded the huge Qilin corpse and began to peel off the material.

Li Xia puffed on Bilbo's pipe as he watched with great interest.

He really didn't know what the gathering technique was.

As a Palico who gets full marks in all subjects except art, Black Charcoal naturally also knows the Gathering skill.
