Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

Good!

The fish over there was already grilled over charcoal, and sprinkled with the seasonings brought from the palace, the fish was fragrant and delicious.

In addition, the fish from the Land Coral Plateau are of excellent quality, with a chewy texture and bursting with oil and juice with every bite.

Ignoring the heat, Aibo ate it in big mouthfuls.

"too delicious!"

Black Charcoal crossed its arms and proudly meowed.

"Oh, you graduated with a perfect score in the cooking course at the Palico Academy?"

Aibo looked up in surprise. The Palico Academy was an academy jointly run by the Hunter's Guild and the Palico Clan.

Cats aspiring to become Palicoes will enter this academy to study.

Just as those who came to the New World were all elites of the Hunter's Guild.

The Palicoes are also seasoned veterans; for example, the head chef of the outpost, Mr. Meow, was once a legendary Palico.

It wasn't until it was scratched on the face and its hunting knife broke that it retired to become the head chef.

However, graduating with a perfect score from the highly competitive Palico Academy is still considered quite outstanding for a Palico, even if it only has one course.

Abbott became interested and asked curiously, "What about the other subjects?"

The black charcoal raised its head even higher, its two small triangular ears twitching back and forth:

"Meow meow meow!"

"Performance and disguise both perfectly? There's only one course, isn't there?"

Abbot put down the grilled fish in his hand, his mouth agape in surprise. Maybe his partner had chosen an exceptionally good Palico.

"Meow~~~~~~" Black Charcoal drooped its head, looking very dejected.

"Failed in art?"

As a support/support Palico, he doesn't need to learn combat.

But art classes are quite important, and it's also its favorite class, involving monster depictions, map drawing, and portraiture of iconic landscapes.

These are all very useful skills, but he just can't pass this course no matter what.

"puff--"

Aowu, who was listening nearby, burst out laughing, and Li Xia couldn't help but smile as well.

Black Charcoal kept meowing softly.

It's probably some difficult-to-understand sayings like "every inch has its advantages, and every cat has its disadvantages."

The small campsite was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Dining outdoors is not like eating leisurely at a base camp.

After quickly finishing the grilled fish, Li Xia used his true qi to disperse the grease stains on his hands and stood up.

"Let's rest for a while and then get ready to set off."

After weaving through the vines that disguised the camp, Li Xia stood on the high platform, gazing at the coral plateau.

A gentle breeze was blowing, carrying the scent of the ocean.

The scene before me felt like stepping into a fantastical otherworld.

The land corals, resembling giant mushrooms, are scattered all around in a pleasing, staggered pattern.

They come in countless shapes and sizes, with delicate branches at the top that move as gracefully as coral polyps, swaying gently in the breeze.

The colors are even more vibrant, with soft pale pink, passionate bright red, refreshing light blue, and deep purple.

The surface of the plateau is inlaid with strange minerals and crystal clusters.

Sunlight streamed down, making the minerals shimmer like scattered jewels on the earth. Even the plants here were completely different from those in the previous two worlds.

The broad leaves have clear veins and their surface appears to be covered with a fluorescent veil.

"This place is so beautiful... isn't it, my friend?"

Abbott's voice came from behind; she was gazing at the fantastical scenery with almost greedy eyes.

It seemed as if they wanted to take in the entire view.

"Hmm, you've rested well?"

"Why would I need to rest? Hunting with you is such a breeze, my partner!"

Abbot stretched, and his leather jacket immediately became quite tight.

"We've already hunted the Dazzling Bird, the Levitate... and now all that's left is the current dominant species, the Driftau."

She counted on her fingers; it had only been half a day. Her partner was incredibly powerful.

"When are we going to hunt the Wind Wyvern? I've heard that this dragon is very beautiful and flies with ice crystals and snowflakes."

Li Xia looked at the distant sky, remained silent for a moment, and then said softly:

"I'm afraid we have a better target now."

A small patch of dark cloud was slowly gathering in the originally clear sky.

It was particularly eye-catching.

Chapter 82 Mythical Beast Species—Qilin!

In the azure sky, dark clouds gathered in the distance, and streaks of lightning, like golden snakes dancing wildly, burst forth unrestrainedly beneath the clouds.

And the dark clouds were expanding rapidly, instantly turning the sky gray.

"this......."

Abbott stared at the sky in shock and hurriedly pulled out the large book he had been carrying on his back.

He sat on the ground and flipped through the pages rapidly.

This book is a treasure for observers, recording the research results of scholars from the New World Survey Team on hydrology, climate, environment, ecology and other aspects of several regions over the years.

"That's impossible—the climate of the Coral Highlands is very stable; it only rains during the rainy season, and it's not the rainy season now..."

After only a few glances, Abbott quickly said:

"unless--"

Suddenly, she froze, her eyes widened, her mouth opened, and even her voice trembled.

"The legendary mythical beast species... the Qilin!"

The Qilin is a rare and fantastical creature, entirely white in color.

Whenever it appears, thunder rumbles in the sky. Although it is classified as an Elder Dragon, it bears no resemblance to any existing Elder Dragon.

There are very few records about it, and even fewer about its habits.

Li Xia glanced at the observer and noticed that she was trembling with excitement.

For observers, discovering and recording new species is the greatest honor. The Qilin is not a new species, but all the information about it is completely blank.

"Awooo! Blackie!"

Li Xia's gaze drifted to the dark clouds in the distant sky:

"Let's go!"

"Oh! (Meow!)"

On the high rock platform, several figures leaped down from the camp hundreds of meters above.

Black Charcoal and Abbot suddenly spread their arms, and their wing-like gliders opened.

Li Xiafei was at the front, with Aowu close behind.

The wind howled in their ears, and the entire Coral Highlands were spread out before their eyes. The strong air currents propelled the Black Carbon Ebo, which should have been gliding downwards, upwards continuously.

This is the characteristic of the Coral Plateau: the ubiquitous updrafts make flying easier and simpler.

Therefore, the most abundant creatures here are various flying creatures.

They flew rapidly in an arrowhead formation in the air towards the area shrouded in dark clouds.

Soon the blue sky disappeared from sight, replaced by thick, dark clouds, and the air was filled with the rumble of thunder.

Li Xia narrowed his eyes and suddenly raised his hand in a landing gesture.

Black Charcoal neatly closed its limbs and landed accurately on Li Xia's back.

"You're so heavy..."

Awoo grabbed the observer with its claws, and the group of people plummeted straight down from the sky.

As we got closer to the ground, a pricking sensation began to appear on our skin.

The hair on my arms started to stand on end.

Black Charcoal's fur started to stand on end, like he had gotten a perm.

The power to manipulate lightning...

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Aowu put down the observer and quickly came over; it was quite interested in the so-called Qilin.

Of all the cats present, Awoo was the only one who didn't sense anything unusual, after all, he was made of mud...

"The free electric energy in the air is too concentrated."

Li Xia used her true qi to press the hair back down, leaving Black Charcoal helpless. It was now like a fur ball, frantically licking its fur.

But the hair seemed to have come to life, stubbornly sticking up.

"If it continues to fly in the air, it is very likely to attract lightning strikes from the sky. If it were to be struck, even an ancient dragon would probably not be in a good state."

Li Xia briefly explained the situation and made a decision:

"Let's go over from the ground and see if we can get any information about the Qilin."

In the game, Li Xia had fought the Qilin countless times, but he would never use the Qilin from the game as a trap.

Lisa, the second-tier agent of the Brotherhood of Steel, made it very clear.

The Derivative World is a world constructed by the Temple based on the collective consciousness of the Apostles.

Based on the principle of spacetime interference, the development of these worlds is roughly the same.

However, the details are completely different. Even in the same anime, each apostle may see very different things.

Therefore, familiarity with the plot can only be used as a reference, not an absolute one.

The general settings and direction are worth looking at, but the details... well, let's just leave it at that.

The 'straightforward' apostles who firmly believed in the plots they had read were mostly dead.

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

The clouds in the sky grew thicker and thicker, and the static electricity in the air became stronger and stronger. Occasionally, a flash of electricity could be seen between the black hairs.

"Meow!"

Black Charcoal angrily licked the fur on the cat's paw, but was shocked by the electric shock.

"Hey buddy, look at this!"

Even though the observer had tied her hair up with a hair tie, the loose strands still stood up, making her look unusually funny.

She seemed oblivious as she handed a tuft of hair she was holding to Li Xia.

These hairs were entirely white, yet shimmered with a strange metallic sheen, like white mercury.

Look—
