I clicked "yes" but was denied entry to Infinite.

"Polus, Dr. Fashion and Life, you're in one group. The mission is the same as the three of us. Go your separate ways."

"As for Li Wei, Hei Tong, and Si, the three of you will form a group and go to stop those civil officials who are escorting them."

"You two, Shi Kong and Lan, will be in a group and responsible for preventing the assassins from escaping during the night raid in the capital. The task of observation will be assigned to you, Lan."

Ran's Imperial Arm is the Flying Immortal, a winged Imperial Arm that allows the user to fly. That's why Esdeath entrusted this task to him, as the field of vision for observation from high above is certainly wider.

"General Esdeath, if I may be so bold as to suggest that I switch places with Life?" Death's Refinement suddenly said.

"Oh, explain your reasoning."

Death's Refinement said, "I've gained a lot of insights from my exchanges with Fashion these days, and we have a good understanding of each other. I think the two of us will be even stronger when we team up."

"I see. Okay, then you and Sheng can switch places."

Esdeath finally made the decision: "Then, let's begin!"

At the same time, the Refinement of Life and the Refinement of Death exchanged a glance, a fierce glint and murderous intent flashing in their eyes...

PSD: Hmm... a mysterious deal... *The Game Life of a Dimensional Protagonist*

So, will I get killed for recommending this book like this...? XD... Well, it's an old author who just finished one book. This is his new book; check it out if you're interested. It's a completed book, so the integrity is guaranteed... I originally asked him how to recommend it, but he said I should just figure it out myself. I have no idea how to recommend it either XD...

Speaking of which, one of the reasons I mentioned wanting to draw a character design yesterday was because I saw that he had just commissioned an artist to create a character design for Lao Shu and posted it in the group chat... I'm so envious... I really want to draw one too.

PAS: Lately... I've been feeling inexplicably tired... I wanted to update twice a week but I don't have the energy... I feel like I'm in a period of exhaustion... Maybe it's because I've been too busy with too many things lately QAQ

I really want to start a new book that falls apart from beginning to end...

Chapter 172 Battle Against the Eight Houses!

The operation to counter the night raid began quickly. Esdeath didn't even ask Li Wei if he would secretly sabotage things, because she believed that Li Wei would never stoop to doing such a thing.

As for whether Li Wei would actually help the capital kill the assassins from Night Raid, Esdeath didn't really believe it. In fact, when she made this team division decision, she was prepared for Li Wei to slack off or even turn against them.

Therefore, she would send Kuroko, the strongest member of her team besides herself, to Li Wei's team.

As for the strength of the Four Terrors, since the four of them did not reveal any particularly powerful strength, Esdeath assumed that their strength was at the average level among the Hunters.

"Then the action begins!"

Esdeath waved her hand at the group of people gathered together.

"Will, Seryu, come with me."

"You all, proceed to your respective destinations. If you are outmatched, retreat," Esdeath instructed. "The one who survives to the end is the victor."

"Yes, General Esdeath."

After saying this, everyone split up and quickly disappeared in different directions.

----------

After leaving the capital and traveling some distance, Li Wei and his two companions arrived in the wilderness.

Following the route map Esdeath gave them, the three of them quickly moved further and further away from the capital. In the wilderness outside the capital, dangerous creatures would occasionally appear and attack passersby. After about half an hour of travel, Li Wei and his companions also encountered a dangerous creature similar to the Earth Dragon.

"Li Wei, live." Kurohime said to Li Wei after drawing his Imperial Arms, Hachifusa, a katana.

"Understood," Sheng Zhilian replied, exchanging a glance with Hei Tong before beginning to slay the earth dragon.

There were about thirty-five or thirty-six earth dragons attacking them. Each one was about four or five meters long, with sharp claws and rock-like scales. After forming an encirclement, these earth dragons acted at the same time, opening their blood-red mouths to bite at the group.

"Oh dear, are you all in such a hurry to die?"

Kurohime smiled contemptuously, deflecting the earth dragon's claws that were attacking her with her halberd, and leaped onto the earth dragon's back. Then she plunged her scalpel down, but the rock-like scales did not hinder Kurohime's scalpel much. Kurohime easily plunged and pulled the scalpel out. As the halberd was pulled out, a large amount of blood gushed from the wound on its back.

Without pausing for a moment, Kuroto jumped back, dodging the dragon's jaws that were snapping at her from the side. As she jumped away, Kuroto plunged Hachifusa into the attacking earth dragon, using the force of gravity as she fell, and the blade cut a deep and long gash into its body.

On the other side, Sheng Zhilian's hands transformed into furry beast claws, and his legs and body swelled up to the size of a fist, tearing apart the earth dragon claws that were attacking him.

Kuroko praised, "Oh? Not bad, I didn't expect you to be stronger than I thought."

"Then I can't be inferior to you."

With that, Kurohime leaped back a few times, quickly getting away from the earth dragon beside her, and raised the Eighth House in her hand high.

Then, a black sphere suddenly appeared on the tip of Hachifusa's knife, and something flashing with black lightning fell like rain onto the ground near her.

At the same time, a series of sounds of the ground cracking came, and arms stretched out from the ground. Soon, six figures emerged: Natara, a blond man in a white uniform carrying a long knife; and Doya, a northern alien assassin wielding dual pistols.

The others were a chimpanzee-like, extremely dangerous species, including Appleman; the bodyguard Wall; Hunter, a survivor of the Swan Clan wearing a black cloak and a red mask; and finally, a burly man wielding a whip, Lockger, a former Imperial general.

Finally, a huge skeletal claw broke through the ground, and a tall, tyrannosaur-like skeleton appeared.

Super Dangerous Species, Destagul.

After it came out, Black Eyes jumped onto its paws, and Destagur, obeying Black Eyes' command, then placed Black Eyes on its head.

"Then, the hunt begins." Black Eyes chuckled somewhat morbidly.

After Kurohime finished speaking, she used the corpse puppets controlled by Hachifusa to start moving. Although it was called control, these corpse puppets maintained their will from when they were alive, so their movements were highly independent and mobile, and very smooth, without Kurohime needing to be distracted.

However, the Eight Chambers is not without its costs. The more corpses the Eight Chambers manipulates during its operation, the more its own abilities are reduced.

Under Kuro's command, Doya fired her dual pistols like bullets at the earth dragons incessantly, while Natara wielded a long sword and slashed at them. Apman, who resembled an ape, punched a dragon away as soon as he entered the arena...

However, none of these are the most powerful. Although Destagur has long since died, leaving only his skeleton, his strength surpasses that of the other puppets. Any earth dragons that attack him are easily torn apart by his two claws or crushed to death.

"Eh? Is it about to give up?" Kuroko chuckled dismissively.

Then, during her free time, she glanced at Li Wei.

Yeah, I'm eating sunflower seeds...

Black Eyes' lips twitched slightly, and he felt an urge to curse out "MMP" on the spot.

"You good-for-nothing, what are you doing here if you're not going to do anything?"

Hei Tong said angrily, "You might as well go back to sleep, Duo Ya, wake this guy up."

After receiving the order, Duoya killed the last earth dragon and then fired her twin guns at Li Wei.

This was originally just a joke, something like friends teasing each other, but Li Wei took it seriously.

"Fingergun - Mirror Reflection!"

This is a skill that Li Wei used before in the Crown World, but at that time, he used it under overclocking adjustment and was facing a machine gun attack from hundreds of people.

Now, with only Duoya on the field, Li Wei can handle it even if overclocking adjustments are restricted.

After Li Wei fired one finger gun after another, the bullets fired by Duo Ya were bounced back at various angles from the stones on the ground, the scales of the earth dragon, and so on.

Moreover, almost all of these bullets were aimed at Doya's heart and head, which are her most vulnerable parts!

Duoya reacted quickly, dodging most of the bullets Li Wei retaliated with, but still sustained some minor injuries. However, Li Wei didn't stop, firing finger guns one after another until he killed Duoya!

Black Eyes' face immediately darkened. "You actually killed my important comrade for no reason?!"

Li Wei said calmly, "For no reason? A mere group of earth dragons, is it worth you using the Eighth Chamber's ability to summon these corpse puppets?"

PS:

PDS: Don't get angry at someone important to you, because in the end you'll worry that they might get angry at you back, and then you'll have to coax them...orz

PSA: I'm a bit torn. Should the new book have a more modern setting, or lean more towards Western fantasy or a more traditional style...?

I'm feeling overwhelmed lately... There's just so much to do. My internship is approaching, and the pressure is immense. I have to take over a dozen courses before May, followed by a series of major exams. I'm starting to seriously question my existence... What am I even writing for...? And I still haven't found a girlfriend... QAQ

Chapter 173 Let me teach you the true meaning of life.

"Oh?" Black Eyes looked at Li Wei curiously and said, "You figured it out?"

Li Wei picked at his ear and said, "It's as simple as a blind person being able to see the road clearly without glasses, right?"

"..."

Renichi walked over and said, "As expected of an undercover agent, your insight is indeed sharp."

"Huh? An undercover agent?" Li Wei pointed to himself and asked, "How am I an undercover agent?"

Sheng Zhilian sneered, "You still want to deny it? It seems you won't give up until I present evidence..."

"No, no, no," Li Wei waved his hand and said, "Have you misunderstood something?"

"An undercover agent is a spy who infiltrates the enemy's ranks. In other words, their identity cannot be exposed; they are basically people who hide their identities."

Li Wei replied matter-of-factly, "I've never hidden myself."

"So, you admit you're a member of Night Raid?"

"Is there a problem? I'm a member of Night Raid, and now I'm part of the Hunters."

"...Don't you think it's ironic that you said that?" Sheng Zhilian paused for a moment, then mocked.

Black Eyes chimed in with disdain, "Don't lump us together with those rats."

“Little Black Eyes, you’re not behaving properly now.” Li Wei paused and said, “This is racial discrimination, a serious prejudice!”

"In the end, millions of years ago, humans and rats shared the same ancestor. You might even be a distant relative of a rat. You can't look down on your relatives just because they look a little different from you. After all, everyone's appearance is different."

"You!?" Kuroko was so angry that she choked.

Seeing this, Sheng Zhilian's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself that this was a chance to gain favor, so he began his rebuttal with the first sentence: "According to you, you're a rat too..."

However, before Sheng Zhilian could finish speaking, Li Wei retorted with a "CNM" and said, "You fucking idiot, how dare you compare me to a rat?"

"You were the one who confused humans with rats just now," Sheng Zhilian said angrily.

"You listen to me when I say you're an idiot?"

"..."

"You're fine."

As an elite member of the terrifying high school, Sheng Zhilian has always prided himself on his good manners, and in all these years, no one in the school has ever spoken to him like that.

"Black Eyes, stop talking nonsense. Let's kill this undercover agent quickly. We can't let him delay our operation."

"That's true. Well then, go die!" Black Eyes smiled.

As Hei Tong said this, the corpse puppet she summoned instantly launched an attack on Li Wei!

Meanwhile, Sheng Zhilian, who was standing by, did not choose to stand idly by, but instead cooperated with Hei Tong to launch an attack.

"Life-sustaining components, the power of a fierce tiger!"

As he spoke, Sheng Zhilian's body underwent a dramatic change, with thick fur rapidly growing on his body, transforming him into a tiger-man.

"what?"

Li Wei exclaimed in surprise, "This ability is interesting."

"Then you'd better open your eyes wide and watch before you die!" Sheng Zhilian said coldly, then lunged at Li Wei.

"Life adjustment, werewolf form."

With Li Wei's words, almost instantly, Li Wei transformed into a werewolf, similar to Sheng Zhilian. When Sheng Zhilian grabbed him, he briefly resisted with both hands facing each other before the two retreated simultaneously.

"You also possess this ability?"

Sheng Zhilian was taken aback for a moment, then smiled disdainfully: "Interesting. You're not the first person to try and teach me a lesson. You actually use the power of life form to compete with me? The ignorance of an ant."

After dodging the attacks from the puppets controlled by Black Pupil, Li Wei, now indifferent due to using Life Adjustment, casually remarked, "Ridiculous."

"Ridiculous? Hmph, those who looked down on me are all dead, and you will soon follow in their footsteps."

Not being very good at this kind of conversation, Sheng Zhilian only wanted to defeat Li Wei as soon as he heard his words.

"Life-sustaining components, the swiftness of the wolf!"

With a roar, Sheng Zhilian's legs transformed into wolf legs.

"The building blocks of life, the lightness of a butterfly."

The movements of the Life Refiner became several times more agile and nimble.

“The building blocks of life are like the weight that an elephant bears.”
