Alone and Infinite

Opportunity for transcendence: 0%

World Introduction: The resentful souls of the Stone Golems roar, and the brutality of the Gregan people has etched hatred into the hearts of every Stone Golem.

They wanted to rebel, but they couldn't defeat the more skilled Griggans, and the outward resistance ceased.

But the flame of resistance in his heart never went out.

The Griggan are plant-like life forms with short growth cycles. They can regenerate severed limbs and even grow their own heads.

Stone people are rock-like life forms with long growth cycles. They are peace-loving, physically strong, but relatively slow in movement.

Main Quest: Cut Off the Fire at the Bottom

Mission objective: Seize the Grigan relic totem and hold it for more than eight hours.

Task Rewards: Basic Unbreakable Protective Barrier, Instant Return Permission, and A-Rank Ultra-Small Guild Upgrade Permission

Task period: 30 days

Mission failure penalty: Hidden rating score decreases by one tier.

[Note: This is a native world; the timeline cannot be reset, and character death is considered a real death.]

[Note: There is a small chance that defeating enemies in this world will drop treasure chests. You can also take a small portion of these chests out of this world through the Hall of Fame.]

[Note: This world is a special arrival mode with no initial identity. Executioners, please proceed with caution.]

[Note: The atmospheric environment of this world is over 90% similar to that of the present world. It has been determined that the executioner will not be affected by the atmospheric environment.]

[Note: As this is a special mission, the Executioner has already mastered the languages ​​of the Stonefolk (25 dialects) and the Griggan (72 dialects) free of charge.]

The world begins!

The primordial indestructible shield, emitting a hazy white light, flickered rapidly a few times before dissipating into countless specks of light.

A whiff of foul odor rushed into Li Xia's nostrils, and she instinctively held her breath before slowly releasing it.

All he saw was charred blackness, and he realized he was in a huge, semi-circular depression.

This noise was likely caused by the teleportation from the Hall of Light, or more likely, it was simply and roughly slammed onto the ground thanks to the initial Undying Shield.

The Temple of Light is really capable of doing such a thing!

He sneezed a few times, two streams of water gushing from his nostrils, before speaking in a muffled voice:

"The air is toxic!"

Black Charcoal had already put on the 'pig nose' gas mask and was nodding vigorously as well.

"It's not that the air is toxic; it's that the noise from the transmission was too loud, causing all the toxic gases to be produced."

Li Xia suddenly realized that the commotion was so loud that it could very well attract people nearby.

The war has just begun, it's not the right time for a major battle. We should focus on figuring out the situation first.

He grabbed Aowu and Black Charcoal, and with a few leaps, he landed on the ground.

Looking around, all I could see were towering mountains and dense forests.

The vegetation here is very similar to ferns on Earth, and is extremely tall, with many exceeding ten meters in height.

Li Xia determined the direction and headed directly towards the distant mountain peak, where the vegetation was the densest and the probability of people living there was the lowest.

It's better to find a place to think things through before acting than to blindly rush into things.

Most importantly, the previous world introduction revealed a lot of things, some of which he found very interesting.

"Boss, is the sacred totem we're looking for that seed?"

Aowu clearly understood this principle as well, and couldn't help but discuss it during their journey.

"Yes, the last collapsed seed could no longer germinate and was carved into a totem."

Li Xia briefly recalled:

"That thing is important because it seems to have a great influence on the fertility of the Griggans."

"hiss--"

Awoo smacked his lips:

"Wouldn't that mean it'd be heavily guarded? That's difficult."

Li Xia nodded: "If it weren't difficult, it wouldn't be an S-rank mission."

Li Xia stopped walking and looked back at the depression where she had landed, which was now about 2 kilometers away.

This distance is relatively safe, and you can also observe the situation of the giant crater.

If anyone approaches, especially a large army, retreat immediately.

If few people come, we can consider capturing a couple to gather intelligence.

In short, it's perfect.

Happy birthday, little carp!

Chapter 299 Instantaneous Kill!

"That's it."

With a clang, the Murakumo sword, which was held across his waist, was drawn from its sheath, and Li Xia held the sword in his left hand.

With a few casual swings, a faint sword light flew from the blade, easily clearing away a small patch of nearby vegetation.

Li Xia released his grip, and the longsword flew back into its sheath with remarkable intelligence.

From the perspective of the martial arts he learned, spears and swords are inseparable, and the vast majority of sword techniques evolved from spear techniques.

So this is a big reason why Li Xia chose the sword as his secondary weapon; it's also very easy to use.

"Black Charcoal, go up the tree and observe the movements over the giant pit."

The kitten nodded, and in a few moments it scrambled up the tall tree, gazing into the distance.

While the Sharingan is far inferior to the Byakugan in terms of telescopic ability, the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is still far superior to normal eyes.

Therefore, based solely on observation, black charcoal is undoubtedly the most suitable.

Li Xia sat cross-legged on the ground, but upon closer inspection, he was actually about five centimeters away from the ground.

He is now very proficient in using the Flying Technique; this is the benefit of infusing skills.

Regular practice can also improve proficiency, and infusion simply speeds up this process.

Fixed skills won't work because with fixed skills, your body simply releases the commands according to the pre-defined program of the Temple of Light.

Perhaps the release method and proficiency can be optimized, but it remains a matter of knowing how but not why.

Li Xia directly opened the guild channel so that Xiao Mao could hear and participate in the discussion.

"Our first target is the Griggan sacred totem, which should be that seed."

As he spoke, he wrote the word "seed" with an air pen.

Tiny robots emerged from the 'pen tip' and hovered steadily in mid-air, forming 'clear strokes'.

"According to the introduction, this seed is very important and has a positive effect on fertility in the Gregane people."

Aowu nodded: "Anything that can promote fertility is obviously extremely precious to a group race like them, so this seed will definitely be heavily guarded!"

Stan Star is at the third-tier combat power level. According to the intelligence provided by the Hall of Light, the peak combat power level is the top-tier third-tier level.

That's the level of the top 100 in the Tier 3 Arena, very strong!

Putting aside other things, the maximum value of a third-tier attribute is fifty points, and the top-tier third-tier attribute is at least forty points or more.

Li Xia figured that if it were a life-or-death struggle, he would only be around 100, and it would be very difficult to go any higher.

The difference in attributes and skills is a fact. These top experts can't compare to me in each world, but with four more worlds, the gap is still quite terrifying.

Aowu also thought of this and said with some worry, "Heavily guarded. It will be difficult to even get the seeds, right?"

"On the contrary!"

A glimmer of light appeared in Li Xia's eyes:

"I suspect that getting the seeds isn't difficult; the real challenge is holding onto them for eight hours!"

"Huh? Why (meow?)"

"Because such a precious sacred object is also a totem, according to conventional thinking, the guarding of such a treasure that concerns the entire race would be unimaginably tight."

With my current strength, it's impossible for me to break in, much less obtain the sacred artifact.

Even if we manage to bring the stone men along, it will be difficult. Thirty days, minus the time spent traveling and the initial preparations, will leave us with at most twenty days.

How could he possibly have the already domesticated stone men charge into battle with him for twenty days?

Moreover, if the stone golem had the ability to rush into someone else's core area and steal sacred relics, how could it have been beaten like this?

Li Xia pointed to the sky:

"It's very simple. If that's really the case, even a tiny guild couldn't do it."

The Temple of Light would never assign a task that it cannot complete.

His tone was resolute:

"There must be some special circumstances, such as a special day, or a special method to obtain the sacred totem!"

"It makes sense!"

Awoo excitedly slapped its eggshell, making a crisp impact sound, and even sparks flew out!

"Next up is the Stone Golem race."

Li Xia held up one finger: "The Stone Clan's hatred for the Griggans is beyond doubt, but perhaps we can't get them to fight alongside me."

"But having the Stone Golems cause some trouble for the Gregan shouldn't be a problem; we'll need to make some contact with the Stone Golems before making any further plans."

Just as he was about to continue, Black Charcoal's voice suddenly rang out in the team channel:

"Meow!"

Someone is coming?

Li Xia and Aowu immediately stopped their discussion and flew straight to the treetops.

Scott zoomed in on the image through his right eye, clearly showing the scene beside the giant crater.

Aowu then waved his dragon claw, and a stream of clear water shot up from the water cup placed on the dragon egg, forming several convex lenses of water in front of him.

It was as if the distance had been directly shortened, and the scene was presented right in front of us.

And this hand?

It seems that Aowu hasn't been idle either, and is also figuring out how to use his water control ability.

Li Xia simply skipped Scott and watched the footage of Aowu's throw.

A group of figures, each about three meters tall, riding wild beasts resembling wild boars, galloped from afar, heading straight for the sinkhole.

These people had green skin, bulging muscles, and rugged features. They wore armor made of a peculiar material that was difficult to distinguish.

They must be from Griggs.

"Why do these Griggans look a bit like giant goblins? No, they're better looking than goblins."

"Awoo," he said, pinching his chin, and his comment was surprisingly apt.

Li Xia narrowed his eyes. From the time he landed to the time he arrived here, excluding the initial waiting time due to dizziness, plus the time spent discussing and deliberating, it had only taken about 10 minutes.

A small squad of Griggs arrived within ten minutes; their reaction was truly astounding.

Either there's a Griggan stronghold nearby, or their sensitivity is beyond expectation.

"1236"

As he counted the number, he was about to speak when he suddenly saw dust rising in the distance.

Then another group of Griggans came from a distance, followed by several 'boar beasts' pulling a makeshift cart.
