Chapter 264: Hanging by a Thread, Jiang Li Seeks Death

Those outside and those within the dungeon all believed that if Jiang Li did not retreat, death was certain.

Li Mengying and the others grew anxious.

They had been cared for by Jiang Li several times; in the Forest of Darkness, they had even saved the Dark Elves together. They knew Jiang Li was not as despicable and shameless as they said.

Indeed, Li Mengying and Xiao Ning'er felt very fond of Jiang Li. He was handsome, his abilities were heaven-defying, and he was low-key. Especially in this reincarnation dungeon, Li Mengying felt even more that Jiang Li was a person of great wisdom who knew how to "hide."

Throughout history, how many talented people failed to understand the word "hide" and met their end halfway.

"Ning'er, among the three of us, your Body Escape Technique is the strongest! Why don't you—"

Li Mengying could not help but ask for help.

Xiao Ning'er nodded and said, "Mengying, even if you hadn't said it, I would still go bring him back!"

"The Tenth Layer dungeon is too dangerous. If he doesn't retreat, I feel it is because his Shadow Escape is nearing its time limit and he cannot leave easily!!! If I go straight there without stopping in any other dungeon, I should be able to bring him out. As long as I bring him to a dungeon below the tenth layer, relying on his freezing ability, the two of us should still be able to escape back!"

The three women nodded.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Ning'er went directly from the Third Layer Bai Yin dungeon to the Fourth Layer Gold dungeon.

Upon arriving in the Gold dungeon, Xiao Ningying was shocked to find the entire Gold dungeon covered in ice and snow.

"Hmph—, a bunch of fools. How could Jiang Li's strength be something you understand."

When Xiao Ning'er reached the fifth and sixth layers, she had not yet gone invisible and was almost attacked by a Diamond Skeleton Minion. The stats of that Diamond Skeleton minion were so terrifying that her pretty face turned pale.

"Truly terrifying. Just a small skeleton monster, yet it possesses such terrifying combat power."

When she reached the Seventh Layer, she dared not even take a deep breath, and even considered turning back in her heart.

The Epic-level small skeleton monsters of the Seventh Layer were already completely beyond what a level-10 untransmuted person could handle.

Upon reaching the Ninth Layer, the Mythical Reincarnation Dungeon, she dared not even take a deep breath.

The Tenth Layer Reincarnation Dungeon.

Jiang Li held his breath, daring to move half a step only after a minute had passed. This was because the mental pressure from the skeletons surrounding the Five Elements Jin Gang Skeleton King was too overwhelming.

"In my current state, even with various buffs applied, I fear unable to hold out against these monsters for long before being instantly killed!"

He appeared extremely cautious.

Now, truly, one misstep would lead to eternal regret. Even Jiang Li felt some regret in his heart, wondering if he had been too reckless.

But then he changed his mind and strengthened the belief in his heart: in doing anything, once you have done it, regardless of right or wrong, do not hesitate. Hesitation will forever prevent you from reaching the end of the road.

"Closer."

"Even closer."

He slowly moved his steps to the front of the Five Elements Jin Gang Skeleton King. A distance of merely ten meters took more than ten minutes to traverse.

He even repeatedly adjusted his breathing and inhalation, causing his heartbeat to slow down.

Gently wiping the sweat from his forehead; the sound of the sweat hitting the ground might alert these skeletons.

"Your Majesty, another human reincarnator has come!"

A skeleton guard with large red wings said.

The Five Elements Jin Gang Skeleton King, holding a greatsword and wearing a crown of five-colored crystal gems, propped his chin with one hand. "What does it matter if they come?"

"How many years has it been? I cannot remember how many years. No strong person has ever been able to reach our place."
