Global Descent to Sky Islands: Getting a God-level Talent from the Start - Chapter 27

Post Title: 《Warning! Dark Elves Group!》

Upon opening it, one could see several images of monsters along with their attributes.

Their slender bodies and pointed ears clearly identified them as Dark Elves.

The Dark Elves squad setup that Papaya Star Spirit encountered was quite similar to what Han Xing had faced.

In the post, Papaya Star Spirit emphasized the strength and intense aggression of these Dark Elves.

He narrowly escaped with his life, almost perishing in that encounter.

He also advised fellow survivors to pay attention to system alerts — if there’s any mention of “fallen beings,” they must not enter the area, or the consequences could be dire.

After reading the post, many survivors couldn’t help but feel a bit relieved.

“Dark Elves are such formidable monsters. I hope we don’t run into them.”

“Yes, fortunately, Papaya Star Spirit was willing to share the intel, and luckily his strength is formidable. Otherwise, if it were us, we might have been killed by the Dark Elves in an instant.”

After reading the conversation in the chat channel, Han Xing was deep in thought.

Papaya Star Spirit also encountered a team of Dark Elves, but what this group was guarding didn’t seem to be Spirit Spring Water, it was a Silver Treasure Chest instead.

“This means that not all Dark Elves are near a water source, they might also be safeguarding other treasures.”

With this thought, Han Xing felt somewhat relieved.

This indicated that he could continue to monopolize the Spirit Spring Water for a little longer.

However, it also reminded him that the survivors’ strength was gradually increasing, and they would soon be able to solve their water issues on their own.

Han Xing immediately thought, “I need to quickly release another batch of Spirit Spring Water, or else when everyone is no longer worried about water, it will lose its value.”

With this in mind, Han Xing opened the Trading Channel.

Compared to yesterday, there were several thousand more trade listings.

Han Xing’s lips curled into a slight smile.

“Everyone has been quite diligent. I’m sure you’ve gathered plenty of materials today, right?”

“After working so hard, you must be really thirsty, right?”

“Wouldn’t you like a sip of the sweet Spirit Spring Water now?”

Han Xing let out a series of sinister laughs, and realizing he might be overdoing it, he quickly wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth.

Then, he put the Spirit Spring Water back on the shelf.

Compared to yesterday, the exchange for Spirit Spring Water now had more conditions.

He removed the blueprint for green equipment and added some other blueprints, such as those for various territorial buildings and defense structures. Additionally, he included the Bl00d of the Strong, various herbs, Mithril, and other materials for exchange.

The reappearance of Spirit Spring Water stirred up excitement once again.

Although not as fervent as yesterday, Han Xing still managed to exchange it for quite a lot of materials.

After two to three hours of trading.

Han Xing spent a total of 432 liters of Spirit Spring Water to obtain three full Storage Boxes, amounting to 2,550 storage spaces of materials.

Among them, he acquired as many as 21,643 Spirit Cores, 45,387 pieces of Refined Iron, 103 1-Star Beast Skins, and 86,646 units of Rare Earth…

Additionally, he obtained a massive amount of materials such as Ether, Dark Firestone, and Moonlight Grass.

Of course, he didn’t manage to get any blue equipment or blueprints.

The other survivors weren’t foolish either, they naturally knew how precious these items were.

Currently, unlike yesterday when it was exceedingly difficult to acquire anything from the Trading Channel, some teams have found some drinking water to varying extents.

However, the healing properties of Spirit Spring Water are still unique and have no competitors at the moment.

Han Xing pondered: “There are still over 800 liters of Spirit Spring Water left. I should be able to trade once more, maybe tomorrow.”

“After selling this batch, the market for Spirit Spring Water will begin to shrink, making it impossible to continue capitalizing on players’ materials.”

“But that’s okay. I’ve almost completed the initial preparations. Once I get a batch of blueprints and use these materials to mass-produce equipment, I can sell them to other survivors and initiate a new round of harvesting.”

“By then, I’ll store most of the materials, and when my territory reaches a certain scale, I’ll start constructing large-scale defensive fortifications to make my territory impregnable.”

“Then I’ll get hold of new equipment blueprints and keep this kind of pattern going, growing bigger and stronger!”

Thinking of this, Han Xing’s smile was almost impossible to hide.

Han Xing had made an initial plan for his future development. He knew he might encounter unforeseen situations along the way, such as updates to the game version, at which point he would need to adapt accordingly.

However, no matter how things might change, he possessed an advantage that other survivors did not.

That was a 100% crafting success rate!

As long as he had the corresponding blueprints, he could mass-produce even legendary artifacts!

He didn’t believe that other survivors could resist such high-quality, powerful gear.

And as long as there was demand, Han Xing could reap enormous profits.

Thinking of this, Han Xing looked up at the sky.

It was already late at night. After a whole day of exploration and continuous battles, he felt quite exhausted.

“Let’s call it a day. Fighting while exhausted isn’t wise.”

He glanced at the system interface for the hatching of the Strange Beast Egg.

[Remaining incubation time: 76 hours, 17 minutes, 48 seconds…]

“It will take over seventy more hours before it hatches. Hopefully, the creature inside this Strange Beast Egg won’t disappoint me…”

Han Xing lay back on his bed, preparing to sleep again.

Meanwhile.

Shortly after Han Xing fell asleep, in the sky island territory of another survivor.

A middle-aged man wearing a mage robe and holding a bronze staff was battling a group of Forest Wild Boars.

He waved the staff in his hand, and a fireball, as large as a washing basin, gradually formed.

Without hesitation, he hurled the fireball into the group of wild boars.

A loud explosion echoed as the herd of wild boars erupted into screams of pain.

Immediately following, several thick ice arrows shot out, piercing through the bodies of a few wild boars, creating gaping bloody holes.

At this moment, a large elite monster suddenly charged out from the group, its eyes bl00d-red, charging toward the human mage like a small mountain.

The human Mage, unperturbed, waved his hand casually, using an energy burst to widen the gap between himself and the wild boar.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking accurately on the head of the elite wild boar.

Crack!

The elite wild boar froze instantly, a puff of black smoke emitting from its body, and the nearby human mage even caught the scent of roasted meat.

The elite wild boar collapsed, leaving only some ordinary wild boars within the sky island territory, making the outcome of the ensuing battle predictable.

After the entire herd was wiped out, the human mage lifted the hood from his head, revealing the face of a middle-aged man.

He was the leader of ‘God’s Whisper,’ Whisperer, currently ranked 2nd on the leaderboard.

Whisperer crouched on the ground, a faint smile on his lips, and said, “Very good, this sky island has an area of 12 m², which will add quite a few points!”

He quickly merged this wild boar territory with his own sky island.

On the leaderboard, Whisperer’s territory points jumped instantly from 164 to 176, just 8 points away from surpassing Han Xing to claim 1st place!

Whisperer mused, “Star River’s points haven’t changed for a while now. Could it be… this guy has gone to sleep?”

He quickly thought of something and chuckled, “Well, that’s rather leisurely, but it gives me an opportunity.”

“Star River, while you’re asleep, I’m going to overtake you to claim 1st place. That Hidden Class Scroll will definitely be mine!”

After saying this, Whisperer controlled his sky island and sped off to the next location.

What he didn’t notice was that his eyes were already bloodshot.

Meanwhile, the 3rd-ranked Black Hawk and 4th-ranked Papaya Star Spirit were also racing against time to explore.

As it reached the latter half of the night, the top 3 positions on the leaderboard quietly shifted.
