Chapter 396: Chapter 0396: Infiltration (Third update request for subscription)

The battle had carried on for an uncountable length of time.

Su Lu’s body was already riddled with injuries.

More importantly, he was absolutely exhausted.

No matter who you are, fighting an unending horde of indestructible creatures that possess the ability to penetrate your defenses will tire you out and cause you to bleed from wounds inevitably.

The accumulation of numerous minor injuries might eventually cause your death.

This group of players, or diminutive figures that seemed like players, were really breaking the rules.

They not only had an unfair ‘infinite resurrection’ function but also, irrespective of the negative statuses they suffered from, even a curse, such harmful effects were entirely lifted once they died.

This was something that Su Lu found unbearably annoying.

His dragon wings were torn, and he was kneeling on the ground, evidently no longer possessing the strength to stand.

Witnessing this scene, the players were extremely excited:

“Finally… finally, are we going to win?”

“How many times have I died? I lost count…”

“Keep it up! Victory is right before us.”

“I’m getting the first kill. No one can stop me!”

“Is this… the true strength of a real BOSS?”

In the presence of this scene, the black-robed ‘God of Guns’, who was one of the top players, bore a somewhat solemn expression.

Being one of the rare veteran players who knew the secret of this ‘game’, he couldn’t help but develop a few worries about the future.

However, at this point in time, all he could do was take a deep breath and cooperate with his teammates to slay the BOSS.

Witnessing the ecstatic expressions of those diminutive figures, Su Lu was speechless: “Damn… If it weren’t for the experience points… Do you think I would play with you guys till now?”

“I’m entertaining you guys with this game, and you guys actually plan to overthrow me?”

“Doesn’t a BOSS deserve some dignity?!”

He suddenly opened his mouth, causing the tiny figures to scramble away hurriedly.

“It’s that move again!”

“It’s going to vomit! It’s going to vomit!”

“Evade it!”

“How do I evade something with such a large radius? I’ll sign out first, wait for me, guys!”

After dying so many times, the players were already quite experienced, so those on the peripheries made every effort to run away while those who couldn’t escape chose to simply give up struggling.

Thud!

This time, however, Su Lu abruptly twisted his head around, moving it as if it were boneless, performing a 360-degree sweeping breath attack that covered all angles.

Boom!

The scorching flames incinerated everything in their path, reducing both the awe-struck veteran players and ordinary players to ashes.

“Damn! That’s foul play!”

“He has another trick like this?”

“Incredible.”

“I’m speechless.”

With this single move, all the surrounding players were wiped out, causing those outside the radius of the attack to cry out in shock.

The very next moment, they were dumbfounded to see the ‘Destruction Dragon’ spread its meaty wings and flap them vigorously, creating a whirlwind that lifted it off the ground!

“Oh no, the BOSS is escaping!”

“You’ve got to be kidding me!? It can retreat voluntarily, how are we supposed to fight against that?”

“This is the real cheating!”

“I want to lodge a complaint. This merciless game is driving me to despair…”

“Idiot above!”

“Only fools won’t run!”

Su Lu didn’t pay attention to the pursuing flying soldiers behind him. After all, there was an endless supply of them. He was tired of killing them; mentally tired, physically even more so!

He flew high and directly ‘passed through’ the world’s barrier, arriving outside the world.

Seeing that those black specks hadn’t followed him, he heaved a sigh of relief: “That was close… Luckily they still can’t leave the world, else they’d become real ‘Fourth Disasters’.”

After leaving the world, his ‘Destruction Dragon’ form immediately retracted, returning to his normal human figure.

“What a strange world… However, it’s a very interesting defense mechanism. Any intruders will be transformed into monsters, and then dealt with by those ‘players’?”

Su Lu hovered in the Realm of All Spirits, glancing at his attribute bar, a vague excitement began to stir: “This world… I’ve made the right choice.”

Although the little people are stingy with their experience points, with first and second-level Occupational Persons only providing one or two points and third and fourth-level ones providing just a few dozen, they can endlessly respawn!

Moreover, their numbers are terrifyingly large. Later on, Su Lu believed that there would be at least a million people besieging him!

“Does this mean… an incredibly vast pool of experience?”

Su Lu’s eyes shone: “If it really is like this… even without any leads towards the sixth level, coming here is well worth it.”

Even just like this, as long as he recovered and then returned to play the role of the boss, he could still harvest a lot of experience points.

He rested and recovered in the Realm of All Spirits for a time, before re-entering this world.

Boom!

Despite carefully shielding himself this time, he still felt an immense pressure transforming him into a beast.

“This kind of power… It’s almost like a law of the world.”

Su Lu couldn’t help sighing: “If it’s not the world itself, it could only be a marvel at the level of a Divine Artifact!”

This time he learnt his lesson and went into hiding as soon as he transformed.

Of course, given his huge size, he was discovered before long, but at least he bought himself some time.

The Volcano Range.

Su Lu directly dived into a volcano’s mouth, choosing a high-temperature cave as his hiding place.

His form as the Destruction Dragon was too large, so he had to squat uncomfortably. However, the intense heat and poisonous flames were not an issue at all.

“This size, it seems to be proportional to my power… It’s too much of a hassle, the target is too large, it’s only a matter of time before I’m discovered…”

Su Lu’s face was filled with frustration.

“I can only work something out with my clone.”

He split off a Shadow Clone from himself.

This was a skill, not an entity, and it didn’t experience the influence of that law, maintaining its human form.

“Thank goodness… it seems that world transformation only targets the main body?”

The Shadow Clone glanced at itself and felt satisfied.

After upgrading to LV6, the range it could operate in had expanded quite a bit.

“However… it seems it’s still not enough.”

Su Lu took a deep breath, glancing at his attribute bar:

[Consuming 6400 experience points… Shadow Clone level raised to LV7!]

[Consuming 12800 experience points… Shadow Clone level raised to LV8!]

[Ding! Shadow Clone skill leveled up to LV8, reached skill limit, gained exclusive buff—Incarnation!]

[Incarnation: the clone gains 70% of the main body’s power and skills, unrestricted by distance.]

The previous accumulation, coupled with the experience gained from the resistance against the players, quickly depleted his experience.

Su Lu touched his LV8 Shadow Clone with his thoughts and immediately received a lot of information.

“Now, the Shadow Clone is a true incarnation, possessing 70% of the main body’s strengths. No matter the distance, as long as they are in the same world, it can be controlled… and two can be split off.”

“As for projecting clones across different worlds, that is the ability of a deity!”

Su Lu opened his dragon mouth and spat out a small glove.

The Shadow Clone stepped forward, fetched a few marvels from it, and felt that even if it couldn’t defeat legends, it would be able to escape from them.

“Among the players, fourth level is the peak. Anyway, out of those millions besieging me, I didn’t see a single fifth-level…”

“Now, it’s perfect. While my main body is adapting to the new rules here and digesting the [Wandering Mage], my clone can go and scout for information.”

The Shadow Clone walked out of the volcano and began to explore this strange world.

“First… I need to track down a player and acquire the ability to comprehend this world’s language…”

“Then, I’ll mingle with the player population and seek out the truth of this world.”

Su Lu had already figured out that although this world seemed like a game, it was actually not the same, it was more like a virtual reality.

That stuff about player names being displayed above their heads, that doesn’t exist here unless you cast a specific Identification Skill.

And since most players look like humans, there’s potential for infiltration.

“This world…”

Upon reaching a grassland, the Shadow Clone furrowed its brow: “Spirit World Traversal and Flicker are both suppressed… I might have to wait until my main body is more in tune with this world’s laws to regain control…”

“Spirit oppression and Spirit Chain are weakened, most of the other skills are passive and are the same… otherwise, I wouldn’t even need to specifically enhance the abilities of my Shadow Clone. Eh? Someone’s here?”

He emitted his Inspiration and detected a player.
