Global Descent to Sky Islands: Getting a God-level Talent from the Start - Chapter 34

The counterattack from the Horned Sheeps was fierce.

Coal narrowly avoided being struck several times, but even if an attack landed on it, the 50% evasion chance from the Form of the Void granted it immunity.

So far, it hadn’t suffered any serious harm.

In contrast, the three Horned Sheeps were tormented to the brink of collapse by it.

Just then, one of the Horned Sheep saw Coal reappear as a black flash and let out an angry bleat, then charged fiercely.

The Horned Sheep’s second skill, Heavenly Ram, activated!

This time, Coal wasn’t so lucky. The 50% evasion chance from the Form of the Void did not trigger, and it was instantly thrown into the air by the horns.

The sharp goat horns pierced Coal’s skin, releasing a stream of black crystal-like liquid in midair.

Han Xing’s heart clenched instantly.

This crystal-like black liquid must be Coal’s bl00d. Void race creatures have a bodily structure different from regular beings.

After being thrown, Coal rolled on the ground several times before quickly standing up.

A wound appeared on its abdomen, looking somewhat unsettling.

“Grrrr…” Coal let out a low growl, despite being injured, its ferocity was undiminished!

At this moment, Han Xing saw what happened and quickly said: “Coal, come back.”

Coal turned his head, looking blankly at Han Xing.

Seeing that Coal’s injuries weren’t as severe as he’d imagined, Han Xing breathed a sigh of relief. He waved his hand and said, “Well done, leave the rest to me!”

Upon hearing this, Coal obediently ran back to Han Xing’s side.

At this moment, the two Horned Sheeps were already blinded by rage.

“Baa!”

The Horned Sheeps, eyes bloodshot and breathing heavily, charged fiercely at Han Xing!

However, in the next instant, 2 arrows, emanating a chilling light, rapidly enlarged in their eyes.

Thud! Thud!

The two arrows hit their targets simultaneously.

“Baa~Baa~”

The two Horned Sheep had their heads pierced by the arrows. With a miserable cry, they met their end.

On the field, only one Horned Sheep remained, also unable to escape the fate of death.

They were already on the brink of death from being tormented by Coal, had it not been for the fact that Coal was only LV1 now, with low attack power.

Otherwise, Coal alone could have easily taken down these 4 Horned Sheeps.

At this moment, a system notification appeared.

[Successfully Killed Horned Sheep LV3 x4, You Gained +120 XP, Your Pet ‘Coal’ Gained +80 XP.]

Han Xing crouched on the ground, inspecting Coal’s injuries.

Coal obediently lay on its side, licking its wounds.

“This is troublesome, how do I treat a pet’s injuries?” Han Xing thought with a headache as he held his head.

He looked inside his bag and found only 2 items with healing effects.

Spirit Spring Water and Life Potion.

“Will these work on a pet?”

Han Xing was unsure, but with no better options in front of him, he sighed, “I can only give it a try.”

He took out a bottle of Life Potion and instructed Coal to lie still.

Then, he opened the glass bottle containing the potion, and a rich, pleasant aroma wafted into his nose.

Just inhaling the scent of the potion made him feel refreshed and invigorated.

“Inhale~”

Han Xing greedily took a couple of deep breaths, then poured out the entire bottle of Life Potion.

The emerald green liquid shimmered with a faint fluorescence and was quickly absorbed upon contact with Coal’s wound.

“It works!” Han Xing’s eyes lit up.

Then, he saw that Coal’s wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At this rate, in just a few more minutes, it could completely heal.

“What a strong effect!”

Han Xing felt a surge of excitement in his heart. This was the first time he had witnessed the effects of the Life Potion firsthand, and he was momentarily stunned by its powerful restorative ability.

At the same time, Han Xing also breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

“What a relief… the Life Potion works on pets too. Otherwise, Coal would have had to rely solely on its natural-healing ability to recover.”

All pets have natural-healing abilities, just like humans. The difference is merely in the speed.

However, when pets are injured, their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. In serious cases, they might even die outright.

At that point, Han Xing would be heartbroken.

Thinking of this, he picked up Coal with one hand and said: “You did well today, but your level is still a bit low. I’ll take you to level up for a bit.”

Revitalized, Coal stretched out its little legs, constantly flitting about.

A few moments later, Han Xing once again approached a cloud no more than 12 m² in size.

Upon entering, he found 2 level 4 Mud Slimes inside.

The battle began, and with the injuries healed by the Life Potion, Coal’s formidable fighting strength was restored.

It unleashed its speed, charging at the monsters first, engaging them in close combat.

However, this time, Han Xing didn’t leave it to fight alone.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Arrows flew, and both Mud Slimes suffered Armor Penetration damage.

At that moment, a flash of black light appeared.

Coal’s sharp claws scratched a few smoking wounds on them.

This is Coal’s third skill, Power of the Void’s effect, which not only have Healing Reduction but also Defense Reduction.

So, Han Xing activated his skill, Multi-Rapid Shots!

Swoosh, Swoosh, Swoosh!

All five arrows hit their targets.

They easily penetrated the slimes’ bodies, causing terrifying damage without even needing to trigger any Armor Penetration effects.

The two Mud Slimes were taken out directly by this attack!

Han Xing was shocked: “Is this Coal’s Defense Reduction effect? It’s truly powerful!”

“Creatures with already low defense suffer maximum damage from each arrow once their defense is reduced!”

The coordination with Coal was incredibly enjoyable, prompting Han Xing to clench his fist in excitement.

[Successfully Killed Horned Sheep LV3 x4, You Gained +120 XP, Your Pet ‘Coal’ Gained +80 XP.]

[Pet ‘Coal’s Level Has Increased.]

“Leveled up?”

Han Xing eagerly checked Coal’s attributes.

[Pet Information: Void Phantom Wolf (Newborn)]

[Race: Void Race]

[Level: LV2]

[Strength: 9, Dexterity: 16, Wisdom: 8, Constitution: 9]

“Holy crap!”

Han Xing was instantly amazed.

Although only one level was gained, Coal’s attributes have significantly improved. Strength, Wisdom, and Constitution each increased by 2 or 3 points, which was expected.

However, the Dexterity attribute directly increased by 5 points!

What does this mean?

You should know that for human survivors like them, the total attribute increase for each level is only about 4 to 6 points.

Yet, Coal gained 14 attribute points in just one level, nearly 3 to 4 times the difference!

With just a few more level-ups, Coal’s basic attributes could even crush a fully armed version of himself!

Han Xing could clearly feel Coal’s speed had increased tremendously, and under the Form of the Void state, he couldn’t even catch a glimpse of Coal, let alone hit him.

“Is this what an S+ Growth Potential pet is like? It’s terrifying!”

“If Coal continues to level up, it’s definitely a big boss template!”

Han Xing felt extremely excited, filled with anticipation for Coal’s future development.
