“Damn, is this an instance a human can clear?”
Watching the villain effortlessly wipe them out like killing little chicks, Zhou Li was numb.
But he didn't have much time to complain about the unreasonable difficulty of the instance.
His Talent had been triggered, and he had to make a choice within ten seconds.
It was Zhou Li's first time triggering the effect of his Talent Infinite, and he hadn't expected it to be in this form.
Compared to the Spectacled Youth and the others who were directly kicked out of the instance after dying, Zhou Li had more options.
Others could only clear it with one life, but he had countless lives.
“Revive on the spot?”
Zhou Li immediately ruled out this option. The villain hadn't left in ten seconds; reviving on the spot would mean dying again.
“I choose to revive in a safe place.”
【Do you want to exit the instance?】
Zhou Li was startled, then realized that the safest place was naturally outside the instance.
However, exiting the instance meant failing to clear it, and the number of revivals would decrease by one. But as long as he didn't leave the instance, no matter how many times he died inside, successfully clearing it in the end would not affect the number of revivals.
Zhou Li didn't want to waste his precious instance revival chances on this most “simple” zero-level instance.
“No.”
The next moment, the surrounding scene changed, and Zhou Li appeared in a woodshed.
Should he hide here, or find another place?
Zhou Li didn't hesitate much. Since he revived here, it meant this place was definitely safe for a short time. The result of finding another place was likely to run into the villain.
Only by staying low can he win.
Zhou Li glanced at his attribute panel: Strength 22.6, Agility 21.6, Constitution 22.6, Spirit 21.6. Compared to when he first awakened, he was already much stronger.
Half an hour later.
“Little mouse, you sure can hide.”
A familiar voice sounded at the woodshed door. With a loud bang, the woodshed door shattered, and a bloody figure slowly walked in, robes fluttering, a sword piercing through the pile of firewood Zhou Li had used to hide.
Reviving again, Zhou Li appeared in an exquisite and beautiful room. Looking at the layout, it seemed to be the residence of a female relative in Lin Family Fortress.
Twenty-five minutes later.
“Hehehe, I found you.”
A long sword pierced through the bed board, taking Zhou Li's life.
Twenty minutes later.
“Boom~”
In the garden, the rockery crumbled, and Zhou Li, who was hiding inside, also lost his life.
...
On the seventh revival, Zhou Li was startled when he saw his surroundings clearly, because this was the living room where they had entered the instance.
Only compared to the beginning, there were four more corpses of the Spectacled Youth and others.
“That's right, the boss wanders around, so it's not strange that this place would become a temporary safe zone.” Zhou Li nodded slightly.
After many times of hiding and battling wits with the villain, he had collected a lot of information and intelligence.
Everyone in Lin Family Fortress was dead, so there was no possibility of joining forces with them. They could only rely on themselves to deal with the boss.
The Spectacled Youth's analysis was not wrong. The villain who slaughtered Lin Family Fortress was indeed injured. When they met in the living room, it was his weakest moment, but his strength would gradually recover during the process of searching for survivors.
Therefore, the interval between Zhou Li being found became shorter and shorter.
During the first revival, he could still hide for half an hour. After the sixth revival, he only hid for fifteen minutes.
Lin Family Fortress was an instance, and the space available for hiding and concealing was limited.
The villain had the ability to find people. He was highly skilled, with keen senses, able to detect faint breaths and even heartbeats. As long as someone was alive, he wouldn't stop.
Also, Zhou Li was found faster, in addition to the villain's recovery, because he was getting stronger.
Strength 48, Agility 47, Constitution 48, Spirit 47.
His four attributes were close to five times that of an Ordinary person, and he could already see the villain's movements and react accordingly.
However, it was useless; he was still no match for him.
The villain's demonic cultivation was complete, and his swordsmanship was exquisite. He could exert stronger power with the same attributes.
“Five times isn't enough, then ten times. I don't believe I can't take you down.” Zhou Li was not discouraged.
This time, he didn't continue to hide.
Facts proved that as he got stronger, his various life characteristics became more prominent, which was not conducive to hiding in place. Using the old method, he would die faster and faster, not to mention that now he had a certain ability to contend with the villain.
Five minutes later, Zhou Li encountered the villain.
“Kid, why do you look a little familiar?” The villain didn't attack immediately, but asked in confusion, “Are you twins?”
No one would pay attention to an ant they crushed casually, and in the previous few times, Zhou Li was killed without meeting him face-to-face, so he only noticed the first time and this time.
“Forget it.”
Just when Zhou Li thought he could buy some time, the villain shook his head boredly and killed Zhou Li with a single sword strike.
Eighth revival, ninth revival...
Under Zhou Li's deliberate memory, he was familiar with the terrain layout of Lin Family Fortress, knowing how to walk, which shortcuts to take, how to avoid the villain, and so on.
However, Zhou Li didn't see any improvement in the villain.
Including his strength, which stopped growing after three hours.
Zhou Li breathed a sigh of relief. If the instance boss kept learning and improving, the difficulty would be too outrageous.
Although it was already quite outrageous now...
On the fifteenth revival, although he was still found by the boss, he managed to delay for a full forty minutes.
At this time, Zhou Li's four attributes had become: Strength 80, Agility 79, Constitution 80, Spirit 79. Supported by these astonishing attributes, once Zhou Li burst out at full speed to escape, the villain in his normal state couldn't catch up at all, only by using movement techniques could he do so.
However, the villain's internal energy and stamina were not Infinite.
Zhou Li was different.
After multiple revivals, he had long discovered the hidden effect of Infinite. Every time he revived, he was in a full-strength state, without any weakness.
Zhou Li got stronger and stronger the more he fought, while the villain got weaker and weaker.
After catching up with Zhou Li, the villain was panting heavily, he was already very tired. This Lin Family Fortress was too strange, the people seemed to be unkillable, popping up from time to time.
When he saw Zhou Li's face clearly, he was even more collapse.
“It's you again, it's you again.”
“How many sets of twins are you?”
“Your mom... damn, how can she give birth to so many.”
The villain's mentality collapsed.
As an instance boss, he couldn't understand resurrection. He also subconsciously ignored Zhou Li's disappearing corpse, only thinking they were brothers.
If it weren't for a few times when Zhou Li revived quickly and he didn't see his face clearly, he would probably have been even more collapse.
“Murderer, you killed so many people in Lin Family Fortress, you killed my six brothers, I want to avenge them.” Zhou Li pounced forward, taking the initiative to attack.
Although his four-dimensional attributes had been surpassed by Zhou Li, the villain's martial arts were not to be underestimated, and the sword light flashed.
Zhou Li's attack seemed full of flaws in his eyes, but compared to the initial chopping of melons and vegetables, the long sword now only penetrated a short distance into Zhou Li's body before getting stuck.
The higher the Constitution, the higher the defense.
A moment later, the villain killed Zhou Li again.
He was panting heavily, his face covered in sweat.
Another hour passed.
Zhou Li, whose four-dimensional attributes had grown to 91-92, looked at the shaky villain, as if his body had been hollowed out, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.
“Killing me so many times, was it satisfying?”
“Do you want to feel satisfied again?”
The villain said nothing, turned around and fled.
However, with his internal energy close to exhaustion, his speed was so slow in Zhou Li's eyes.
“Boom~”
Like a strong wind blowing in his face, Zhou Li ran wildly behind the villain and raised his fist.
“We Xia Country people are the most hospitable.”
“Whether you are an enemy or a friend, we always ask if you've eaten. If you haven't, eat my three punches!”
The villain roared, making a desperate counterattack before dying. The long sword thrust towards Zhou Li's heart, but it was broken by Zhou Li's punch. Then, Zhou Li's second punch crushed his chest bones, and the third punch hit the villain's head, as if opening a sauce shop, immediately ending his life.
