Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

"Blackie, you mean you want to buy some explosives?"

"Meow meow!"

"Then we need to make some modifications?"

"Meow!"

Li Xia nodded: "Okay, go buy whatever you need with Aowu. Those PT points are just sitting there if you don't need them."

PT points are the guild points calculated when the observers and Aowu return, representing the materials they collected along the way.

It's not very useful; it can be used to buy some small odds and ends, but Li Xia doesn't need it.

He doesn't even need nutritional supplements or other treatments; that's one of the good things about his strong recovery ability.

After watching Aowu and Heitan leave, Li Xia simply found a quiet place to wait.

I took out Ye Ji and placed it horizontally on my lap, then took out some care tools to give Ye Ji some treatment.

The maintenance of the spearhead is similar to that of the sword blade. He opened the small leather suitcase he had brought with him.

He took out a pure cotton towel, dampened it with a little water, and carefully wiped the blade of the spear.

After cleaning it, he took out a piece of deerskin and wiped it again. Finally, he used cotton gauze to apply a little sword oil evenly to the spearhead.

These were clearly tedious maintenance tasks, but Li Xia did them meticulously, even finding some enjoyment in them.

Once the oil was evenly distributed, he took out a cotton gauze and vigorously wiped it back and forth for about 2-3 quarters of an hour.

He stopped when he felt the blade was warm, observed it for a moment, poured some polishing powder from the leather bag, and continued to polish it slowly.

He only slowly opened his eyes and put away his spear when Aowu and Heitan returned.

[All outpost apostles, please prepare yourselves. The battle against the Lava Dragon is about to begin.]

Chapter 73: The Battle Against the Lava Dragon!

Groups of pterosaurs swirled around the stronghold, forming a massive pterosaur vortex.

The "cawing" sound echoed through the sky, and a heavy feeling of impending storm weighed on everyone's hearts.

Compared to the solemn-faced, hurried characters in the story, the apostles possess a unique sense of relaxation.

This task is not dangerous, and the reward is actually quite ordinary; it's a task where you get a reward just for participating.

Aside from the rewards for the top five, which are somewhat interesting, those teams will definitely try to concentrate all the damage on one person.

In this kind of mission, it is difficult for an individual apostle to compete with a team, so Li Xia even saw several apostles find a scenic spot to drink and watch the busy plot characters joking around.

Awoo remained perched on Li Xia's shoulder, while Black Charcoal fastened a leather belt to Li Xia's waist and then raised its paw towards him.

"Meow!"

Li Xia released the rope, and the pterosaur flapped its wings, carrying the man and the cat into the sky.

The sky was filled with hunters carrying pterosaurs, the pterosaurs blotting out the sun.

From a distance, it has a strange, epic feel to it.

The journey to 'One Line Sky' is not far, but it's not short either.

For hunters with exceptional physical abilities, hoisting a pterosaur in flight for several hours using only their arm strength is child's play.

As the sun began to set, the pterosaurs finally began to swoop down.

Li Xia released her grip and landed lightly on the narrow crevice.

The terrain here is extremely unique, with two mountain peaks pressing inward to form an inverted bowl shape.

There is only a gap, about several tens of meters wide, between the two mountains, which is also one of the nodes of the earth's veins.

It is also a necessary route for the Lava Dragon.

Therefore, the Hunter's Guild immediately decided to take advantage of this special terrain to set up defensive measures.

Furthermore, three barriers were set up, and when Li Xia landed, he saw a transformation that was truly astonishing.

Several survey team ships were positioned horizontally at the bottom, with layers upon layers of wooden planks spiraling around the mountainside like threads.

Huge ballistae and cannons were placed every few meters.

There were hundreds of them at a glance, but even so, the guild's logistics staff were still carrying cannonballs and crossbow bolts with bloodshot eyes.

They loudly proclaimed their lack of supplies, and the most powerful weapon was undoubtedly the 'Dragon-Slaying Spears' mounted on several ships.

The massive gun barrel is thicker than a person, and the over 8-meter-long gun is the Hunter's Guild's most powerful weapon.

A single blow is enough to kill an ordinary dragon, and even an ancient dragon would likely be severely injured.

"All combat hunters, proceed immediately to the first line of defense! The Lavasioth is approaching."

The commander-in-chief's voice echoed through the valley.

"whoosh whoosh"

Hundreds of figures leaped down from the sky, emitting various strange cries, and rushed towards the front line of defense in various ways.

Li Xia glanced at the list and found that there were about eighty apostles, accounting for more than 80% of the current world.

Some apostles had other purposes, or happened to be out and missed the mission.

"Your Highness, over here, over here!"

Aowu and Heitan have already occupied a cannon and a ballista; the location is quite good.

Even at a 45-degree angle, the Zorah Magdaros will attack, although it moves quite slowly...

There are only about thirty cannons and ballistae on the first floor, which is not enough for everyone to have one.

Furthermore, with some teams occupying four or five units, they become even rarer.

If you can't grab it, you can only use your own ranged weapons or skills to attack, or you can steal it from others.

Many people are vying for other people's cannons with the mentality that if they can't beat the team, they can't beat you.

At this moment, Aowu and Black Charcoal became exceptionally conspicuous.

However, Li Xia's string of titles served as an extremely powerful deterrent.

Many people have only just begun to cast ill-intentioned glances here.

Upon receiving the notification from the Hall of Light, his eyes immediately cleared, becoming kind and full of enthusiasm.

Ignoring the prying eyes around him, Aowu pulled out bundles of crossbow bolts from his personal space.

"Your Highness, this was modified by the cat. The crossbow bolts are filled with gunpowder in the center, making them explosive bolts, which are quite suitable for dealing with the Lavasioth."

Black Charcoal even raised its paw and gave Li Xia a thumbs-up.

"Meow!"

"Well done, Blackie—"

Li Xia nodded and loaded the crossbow bolts into the magazine. This was a rapid-fire crossbow that could fire in bursts.

Just as the last crossbow bolt was pressed in, Li Xia keenly sensed that the ground seemed to tremble slightly.

Then the tremors became more and more obvious, and eventually even the surrounding flames began to flicker.

The sea surface suddenly began to bubble and froth as if boiling.

Then the dark 'mountain' broke through the sea surface, growing higher and higher, splashing water everywhere and creating surging waves.

The hundreds-of-meters-tall Lava Dragon could only be felt with a terrifying sense of oppression when it was right in front of it.

It seems indifferent to everything and just wants to move forward along its own path.

As for those obstacles? All obstacles are so pale and powerless in the face of such a massive body.

Throughout its long lifespan, the Lava Dragon seemed to have never encountered any enemies.

Its thick lava shell is the best defense, and its enormous body is the strongest weapon.

[The Zorah Magdaros has appeared! Attack it using all available means!]

"All hunters! Attack!"

In an instant, countless cannons roared and bowstrings vibrated.

Countless flames and smoke erupted from the body of the Lava Dragon.

Li Xia blew away the smoke in front of her, checked the prompts, and almost laughed in anger.

[You fired a cannonball, dealing 0.1% damage to the Zorah Magdaros.]

Your follower fired a bolt using a ballista, dealing 0.05% damage to the Zorah Magdaros.

One cannonball: 0.1%? One crossbow bolt: 0.05%?

I glanced at the Lavasioth's health; it had only lost less than 3% of its health in the last round.

Suddenly, scorching steam erupted from the back of the Lava Dragon, followed by a flow of crimson magma.

Rapid cooling forms a new outer shell.

The health bar that had just been reduced by a tiny bit was instantly replenished.

Even though they had already guessed the outcome, the apostles still started complaining on the chat platform.

"How are we supposed to fight this...?"

"Forget it, let's just relax and paddle."

"If you just try to get some rewards without expecting anything in return, you'll find that the Lavasioth is basically giving away materials for free."

“That makes sense. Let’s take it slow. Even if the Lava Dragon uses this move, it will still need stamina.”

"Stamina? How many times can he reach his limit?"

"The guide says... one team managed to heal the Zorah Magdaros a maximum of 21 times..."

"21 times? Goodbye!"

Li Xia looked at the three plumes of scorching steam rising from the back of the Lava Dragon, as well as its magma-like shell.

Suddenly, he said in a low voice, "Awoo, Black Charcoal, you guys stay here and attack normally."

"Your Highness, then you—"

Li Xia pointed to the back of the Lava Dragon: "I'm going there!"

The second day of my business trip... I'll be back on Saturday afternoon.

Chapter 74 Damage First

Amidst the gazes of numerous apostles, Li Xia's figure, like a long rainbow, landed directly on the Lava Dragon.

The communication platform was immediately refreshed at a rapid pace, like boiling water.

"Whose general is this? He's incredibly brave!"

"Could it be that they intend to attack the three weak points on the back of the Lavasioth?"

"Brave? I think he's gone mad. The normal surface temperature of the Lava Dragon is close to 100 degrees Celsius, it approaches 300 degrees Celsius when it heats up, and it reaches about 1000 degrees Celsius when it boils."

Even a tank with +3 armor can only withstand the heat up to a certain point, and that's while its health keeps dropping.

"Isn't that Brother Killer? He's gotten carried away and's about to go and kill the Lavasioth?"

"Uh—even if those top ten monsters came, they probably wouldn't be able to kill the Lavasioth, right?"

"It's hard to say, maybe they have some unique skills."

"It's unkillable. I remember Nosa, who was ranked fifth in the arena, tried it in the advanced strategy guide. She majored in ice magic and reduced the Lavasioth's health to below 60%. She said herself that no one in Tier 2 can kill the Lavasioth."
