Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

The squad leader was jolted awake from his reverie, staring in astonishment as two streams of bright red blood flowed from the sensory-type's nostrils.

Tiny tentacles seemed to be flailing wildly within the blood, like... like something growing out of the monster's vicinity.

"team leader--"

The sensory-type's mouth opened and closed, and countless tiny tree roots swarmed out from it, spreading along his body.

Everyone felt a sudden chill rise in their hearts, and they couldn't help but shiver and slowly back away.

One by one, pustules emerged from the skin's surface, and tiny, dark buds broke through the pustules, like seeds sprouting from the soil.

Pus was flowing out from the ruptured opening.

The sounds from the sensory system suddenly became very strange, like the harsh sound of something rubbing together:

"Captain...it's found us...Captain...we're teammates...you won't abandon me, will you..."

Jasmine's face turned even whiter than her white dress, and she slowly rubbed herself towards the captain, her face streaked with drool.

Grass!

The squad leader's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat; he didn't even know why he had been infected.

The heavy pressure of death weighed on his chest, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

It felt as if every cell in his body was screaming wildly, urging him to run away as fast as he could.

His hand slowly moved towards his waist; at this moment, only the pair of purple-quality pistols could bring him some comfort.

"Hit! Then run!"

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

"Your Highness, have we been to this place before?"

Aowu looked at the rather peculiar tree trunk not far away and swore he was absolutely not mistaken.

The main problem is that this tree grows in a very strange way. It is slightly curved in the middle, and the two branches deep inside are like arms. Instead of growing upwards, they grow downwards.

At the very top, there was a clump of something as black as charcoal, somewhat like the remnants of branches and leaves burned to ashes.

It looks like a middle parting hairstyle...

With its forked end, it looks exactly like that image you often see on Baidu Tieba.

After all, it's now a VIP member of the Baidu Tieba forum, with a 6x experience bonus, and is about to receive a yellow card.

Li Xia looked away from the tree trunk, not really wanting to say anything.

Unable to discern directions and without guidance, it's really easy to get lost in a basin spanning hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.

What does hundreds of thousands of square kilometers mean? His hometown, JS, is only 10 square kilometers.

He didn't even encounter an apostle, let alone find a city.

With thousands of apostles scattered across the land, the chance of them meeting here is probably as high as winning the lottery.

Unless—the temple scattered them all in one place!

Li Xia sighed softly. It shouldn't be that bad. If they were all placed nearby, she would have been running around all day.

It's not like you won't meet a single person.

"boom!"

A muffled rumble of thunder suddenly echoed in the distant sky, and dazzling flashes of lightning could be faintly seen against the leaden-gray sky.

Suddenly, a massive bolt of lightning descended from the sky, the blood-red lightning like a blinding pillar of light piercing the heavens, instantly turning the gray sky into daylight.

Even from this distance, one can feel the terrifying energy contained within.

The anti-gravity motorcycle came to a stop in a beautiful arc, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Li Xia straightened up and stared at the distant lightning.

It's about twenty kilometers away by sight...

Awoo asked in a low voice:

"Your Highness?"

Li Xia suddenly turned on the switch; what else could be said?

Of course we should go check it out!

Chapter 133 The Ascended - Amodrich

"Cough-cough-"

The squad leader knelt on the ground, coughing violently, yet his hateful gaze pierced through the thick smoke, fixed on the figure within.

On the charred ground lay several figures lying haphazardly; they were his teammates with whom he had shared life and death.

Moreover, fine roots were slowly piercing the skin of these people's corpses, and disgusting cysts were gradually rising up.

Even in death, they are still corrupted by strange forces.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, the hatred in the squad leader's eyes slowly turned into despair.

He just used his most powerful life-saving item—a purple, one-time-use scroll.

Even so, the monster remained standing in place, wisps of smoke rising from its body.

Most of his body had turned into charcoal, and pieces were peeling off his body one by one.

But it didn't die after all!

"Team...team leader...what should we do?"

Jasmine felt like she was about to cry. Her healing abilities were useless; it was as if once she was hurt by that monster, she could not be healed.

As for his various debuffs, they also had no effect on monsters.

How to do?

I also want to know what to do!

The captain gave a wry smile. Because of his previous experience with the perception system, he didn't even dare to use his detection skills.

He had no idea what the monster's stats were, what its skills were, or how much health it had...

“Jasmine.…”

Taking advantage of the monster's brief moment of recovery, the captain opened his mouth, as if to say something.

But a tentacle covered in slime appeared out of nowhere and snatched Jasmine away.

Then he felt a sharp pain in his chest and looked down in astonishment.

Spikes, resembling tree roots, stretched from the monster's arm.

The monster's charred and peeling right half of its body has been replaced by black wings that are slowly unfolding.

Upon closer inspection, those weren't wings at all; they were clearly wriggling tentacles!

He watched as Jasmine's eyes widened, her beautiful face contorted with unprecedented terror as she was pulled toward the monster.

The wings folded, obscuring his vision.

“Jasmine…”

The captain's lips twitched, and he felt the power in his body gradually disappear, while countless roots grew wildly inside him.

The flesh and blood were devoured and transformed into nutrients to nourish the strange plants that grew from the body.

Even on his deathbed, he still couldn't understand how his sensory teammates had been corrupted.

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

The bolt of lightning acted as a beacon, drawing all the nearby apostles towards it.

Li Xia's gaze was fixed on the billowing dust in the distance, the dust kicked up by a huge off-road vehicle as it drove by.

Those who dare to be so flamboyant must have some skills; there are no weaklings among those who can advance to higher ranks.

Similarly, the SUV spotted him as well.

"Boss, do you want some?"

The man in the passenger seat lowered his binoculars and waved dismissively.

"No need. Let's go to the location where the lightning was just observed first. Let's avoid any unnecessary complications!"

The SUV's headlights flashed twice as a greeting.

"She's quite sensible."

The flying creature, Aowu, descended from the sky and said quickly:

"Judging from the distance, at least seven or eight waves of apostles just passed by, but there was no sign of battle. It seems they were either wiped out or ran away."

Li Xia nodded, pondered for a moment, then turned the ignition again and drove forward.

"They're probably all wiped out. If that lightning was a monster's skill, the apostles might not be able to withstand it."

If not, then it's a last resort, meaning the situation is very dangerous and it has to be used.

A look of agreement flashed in Awoo's eyes, but Black Charcoal suddenly twitched its nose, pointed in a direction, and let out a soft cry:

"Meow~"

Li Xia patted its head: "Was it coming from this direction?"

The motorcycle turned around and sped off into the distance.

Just a few minutes later, we crossed a hill that wasn't very high.

A massive city ruin suddenly appeared.

Similar to the small town, the buildings in the ruins were neatly broken, as if an invisible knife had cleaved the entire city in two.

What caught his attention even more was the monster standing in the distance.

Li Xia's pupils contracted. In all the time he had been in the hall, this was the first time he had ever seen such a disgusting monster.

It's hard to describe its appearance precisely; it's more like a hybrid of a bird, a tree, a person, and an octopus.

The area where the monster was located was charred black, but it was still possible to tell that it had once been a camp.

Several oddly shaped trees were growing on the ground.

"Holy crap! What the hell is this?!"

Awoo stared at the extremely bizarre-looking monster hundreds of meters away, his two little ears already shaped like airplane ears.

They had clearly never seen such a disgusting monster before.

Li Xia got off the motorcycle, put it away, and quickly disappeared into the nearby ruins with the two children.

A flash of blue light appeared in my right eye—detection!
