Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

Concentrate on breathing...

Even Tanjiro can use Sun Breathing to imitate Thunder Breathing to increase his speed, let alone his own mastery of breathing techniques!

The muscles in his legs bulged instantly, and the vibration of the airflow inside his body produced a sharp sound like thunder.

"Whoosh!"

The fallen leaves beneath his feet exploded, and he shot out like an arrow.

The wind whistled in my ears, and the scenery before my eyes rushed by, as if the entire forest had been stretched into blurry lines.

In the blink of an eye, it covered a distance of dozens of meters, and wherever it passed, the grass fell to both sides as if it had been cut by a sharp blade.

His figure weaved through the dappled shadows of the trees, like a ghost moving swiftly through the forest, rushing toward his goal as if trying to break through all obstacles at the extreme speed.

[Distance 80m.....70m......50m......20m...........]

Through my shaky vision, I saw a figure squatting on the ground, rummaging through something.

A jet-black spear slowly emerged from Li Xia's outstretched hand.

caught you!

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

As soon as Jack landed, he immediately crouched down, pulling out equipment from his personal space, his expression revealing anticipation.

Judging from his expression, he must be... furious, right?

If only they could catch up... Jack felt a pang of heartache as he looked at the Claymore mine in his hand.

This was bought on the trading street for 100 points. He only earned less than 2000 points in total during the solo trial.

But if we can trick that kid, it's definitely worth it.

He thought of his talent: a sense of danger, and a hint of gloom appeared in his eyes.

It's unbelievable that a seemingly ordinary young man could make him feel somewhat dangerous.

Jack had learned about the newcomers' situation; generally speaking, the enhancements one could obtain in the Trial World were not many.

My B+ rating is pretty good, with 1900 points and three pieces of green equipment.

In addition, I joined the Adventurer Guild's reserve team. Although I couldn't get high-level equipment, I could use my discount privileges to buy green equipment.

Of all the people in that room, only that kid posed a threat to me, so he had to die!

According to the information I have obtained, the Hall of Fame does not encourage killing each other in the Trial Battlefield, but it also does not prevent it.

If this threat can be eliminated, one will definitely have a greater advantage in the final evaluation.

Obtaining the special mark of the temple is only the first step to rise!

Jack glanced at the sniper rifle beside him and chuckled softly. He was already imagining what would happen if the other party charged at him in a fit of rage.

First he was hit by a Claymore, then he was sniped several times by me. If he still survived and managed to get to me, that would be a miracle.

He would then know... Jack glanced at his skill bar.

【Dagger Combat Skills】LV3 (Proficient)

Ranged combat is just a disguise; close combat is his true strength!

"Swish"

Jack suddenly raised his head, looking at the bushes not far away with a puzzled expression, his broadsword still in his hand.

coming?

No! How could it be so fast!

A bush as tall as a person suddenly exploded, and amidst the flying branches and dust, a figure shot out like lightning.

The spear was entirely black except for a silvery white tip. As the swaying branches and leaves scattered sunlight, it shone on the blade with a dazzling brilliance.

In an instant, a flash of cold light appeared first!

Jack's pupils contracted, his expression one of utter horror. With a flick of his wrist, two gleaming military knives appeared in his hands, ready to be used to raise his spear.

Damn it! How long has it been? Less than twenty seconds since we landed!

With a "thud," the gun blade pierced through the neck, and a large spray of blood gushed out from the blade.

Li Xia pulled out the spear with one arm, his lips slightly parted, and a strong gust of air shot out from between his lips.

"laugh----"

Jack collapsed to the ground, desperately clutching the wound in his throat with both hands. He convulsed twice and slowly lost consciousness.

[You have defeated Apostle No. 337623. Due to being in the counterattack privilege phase, you will randomly draw one piece of equipment from Apostle No. 337623.]

[You have already received a Tac-50!]

Li Xia's gaze swept over the Claymore mines and two daggers beside Jack's corpse.

He flicked his wrist, shaking off the blood droplets from the gun blade.

You're so weak... why are you pretending to be weak to take advantage of others? Why are you playing the victim and feigning weakness?

Chapter Thirty: The Dark Forest (Please continue reading)

This apostle was unexpectedly weak—no, it can't be called weak.

Li Xia began to review his first battle with the Apostles.

It should be said that I improved too quickly. Even though the Hall of Transcendence has declined, the help it gave me was still astonishing.

For example, the maximum stay time for a newly promoted contractor is only seven days in the real world.

I can't exploit a bug like I did, so instead of improving myself, I just train like crazy in real life and gain free attribute points.

This alone puts him at least 5 attribute points ahead of the other apostles.

In addition, with the LV5 level of Sun Breathing mastery, this is definitely far beyond the level of other Apostles.

However, this should not make us lose our vigilance. The palace is such a magical place, and Li Xia does not think that he is the only one who has had a miraculous encounter.

What if someone clears the trial with an S rank or higher? The reward chest alone would be absolutely magnificent. And what if they get a lucky streak and learn an advanced skill during the trial...?

Li Xia's expression turned serious; the heroes of the world must not be underestimated!

After storing the spear in his spatial storage, Li Xia squatted down to examine the corpse, wondering... if he could touch it.

He first picked up the dagger on the ground, and just as he was about to examine it, the dagger in his hand quickly turned into specks of light and disappeared.

Was it taken back by the Temple of Light?

Li Xia remembered that the Transcendence Hall had mentioned that the weapons rewarded to the Apostles were mostly from recycling, which accumulated into a huge equipment inventory over time.

Unfortunately, all of these equipment stockpiles were looted in that battle.

However, the Transcendent Hall still has a very small amount of equipment in stock. These are equipment that were originally listed on the auction house but have not yet been traded. Because the consignor died, the equipment that was consigned for auction was locked.

Soon, apart from the sniper rifle on the ground, the corpse's other equipment gradually turned into light particles and disappeared. Li Xia then went forward and explored the corpse again.

Surprisingly, a pack of cigarettes, a Dupont lighter, some chocolates, and compressed biscuits were found in his shirt pocket, and an emergency kit was even hanging on his waist.

But these things are mine now, so I'll put them away carefully.

Li Xia found a comfortable spot to sit down and began to examine his haul amidst the rising smoke.

【Tac-50】

Grade: Green

【Origin: Delta Force, McMillan Plant, USA】

Magazine capacity: 5 round

Damage Intensity: 5 (Tier 1)

Attack: 20-25

Void Magazine: You can spend points to refill your magazine; the price increases with each refill.

[Review: A highly powerful and accurate sniper rifle]

[Recycling Price: 800 points]

Hey, Li Xia's eyes lit up. Pretty good sniper rifle. High damage intensity and high damage output. As for the special effect Void Magazine, when you have enough bullets, even a dog won't look at it.

But if you run out of bullets, that's a miracle!

After putting away the sniper rifle, Li Xia stood up and surveyed his position.

The surrounding area is filled with endless mountains and forests, where the trees are quite tall and straight.

It looks similar to the spruce forest I once visited, with towering trees spaced far apart, and fallen trees perched on top of other trees become a breeding ground for even more plants.

Thick vines, dark green moss, mushrooms of various colors...

There are few traces of animals here; apart from the thick layer of fallen leaves, only some shrubs are still stubbornly alive on the ground.

There was a thin layer of mist all around, but when Li Xia looked closely, the mist mysteriously disappeared.

Before long, a faint mist quietly returned to my eyes, like a thin layer of gauze obscuring my vision.

It was only at this moment that Li Xia opened the task panel:

[Current Mission: Reach Long Lake Town within 48 hours by traversing the Dark Forest]

[Task Reward: Attribute Point *1, Total Points 1000]

[Failure Penalty: Random attribute points reduced by 1, total points 1000]

Changhu Town? A dark, dense forest?

Li Xia immediately recalled the vast forests and distant mountains and lakes he had seen when he landed.

While it may seem like no information was given, the fact that the Temple of Light chose this method to descend was actually a hint.

I looked up at the sky, which was obscured by the branches and leaves. If I couldn't tell which way to go, I could climb to the top of a tree and look out at the distant mountains.

However... Li Xia glanced at the upper right corner of his field of vision, where there was a small map that looked exactly like the game interface. With a thought, the map unfolded and appeared in front of him.

According to the map, I am currently on the outermost edge of the Dark Forest. The best way to quickly cross the Dark Forest is undoubtedly to take the Old Forest Path.

Li Xia's eyes were filled with contemplation, because he had entered the country illegally and had not been notified ten minutes in advance like the other contractors.

Therefore, he could only rely on his memory to recall everything about the Battle of the Five Armies.

The Misty Forest is dangerous. Not only are tree spirits living there, but also many monsters due to the darkness surrounding it.

The best way to get through smoothly is to take the Elf Path, which is the old forest path shown on the map.

Li Xia thought for a while, checked the direction using the mini-map, and then turned and walked into the woods.

Taking a long detour from the outside to the starting point of the old forest road is not impossible, but it would waste at least several hours.

If he followed the hypotenuse of a triangle, his speed would undoubtedly be much faster; he still remembered the hint that the Hall of Transcendence had given him.

Gaining the attention of the Temple of Light with all one's might is the final step in the disguise.

Therefore, he wanted to reach Changhu Town as soon as possible. If he wasn't mistaken, the earlier he arrived, the greater his advantage would be in the next stage!

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

The further you go in, the more pronounced the fog becomes in the dark forest. The sunlight that was still faintly visible on the outskirts has been reduced to dim shadows.

Tall trees like spruce were gradually replaced by oddly shaped trees that grew crookedly into bizarre forms, resembling menacing tree monsters with bared teeth and claws.

The ground was covered with brownish-red fallen leaves that smelled slightly rotten, and stepping on them gave you a strange feeling of sinking in.

White spiderwebs, clinging to fallen leaves and insects, entangled in the gaps between the trees, giving the forest a deathly feel.

Li Xia took a deep breath. The air was filled with an indescribable, faint stench that made him choke. He immediately followed the breathing technique and reduced the frequency of his breathing.

Moreover, after he continued walking for a while, a notification for the Hall of Light suddenly popped up in his vision.

[You have been corrupted by the power of shadow. Your spirit is 8 points, and you will be subject to hallucinations from time to time.]
