Global Descent to Sky Islands: Getting a God-level Talent from the Start - Chapter 37

All the survivors of Channel 107 began to accelerate their rush up the leaderboard.

At this moment.

On a sky island territory with an area of more than 40 m².

Han Xing was battling with a massive creature.

In front of him was an enormous brown bear, standing 3 to 4 meters tall, roaring in anger.

Information about the brown bear appeared before him.

[Ironbacked Brown Bear (1-Star Elite Creature)]

[Level：LV5]

[Strength: 31, Dexterity: 20, Wisdom: 21, Constitution: 35]

[Skill 1: Bear Paw Smash (The brown bear swings its massive paws to strike the ground, creating a powerful shockwave that knocks back surrounding enemies and causes significant damage), Skill 2: Ironback Impact (The Ironbacked Brown Bear charges aggressively towards its target, increasing sprint speed by 100%, and upon hitting, it guarantees a critical hit and triggers a knockback effect), Skill 3: Furious Roar (The brown bear emits a deafening roar, causing sonic damage to surrounding enemies, and increasing its own CRIT Rate by 50%)]

What a formidable status!

In terms of basic attributes alone, this brown bear crushed Han Xing, whose body was fully equipped with green gear. Even ‘Coal’, which had reached level 3, was suppressed by its stats.

“What a strong fellow, is this bear the regional boss?” Han Xing pondered.

However, Coal’s dexterity had already reached 21 points, plus the ‘Void Flicker’ skill enhancing its movement speed by 200%.

Even this level 5 elite monster couldn’t keep up with Coal’s pace.

Han Xing could only see a shadow flickering around the Ironbacked Brown Bear, occasionally leaving a few wounds on its body.

“Roar!”

The brown bear let out an angry roar, wildly swinging its fan-like paws in the air, desperately trying to catch Coal. However, no matter how hard it tried, it couldn’t even touch a single hair of Coal’s.

At this moment, Han Xing’s Wind Chasing Arrow attacked.

The Refined Iron Arrow, carrying a sound like it was tearing through the air, instantly appeared in front of the brown bear.

Its target was unmistakably the bear’s large eye, as big as a bronze bell.

However, this level 5 elite monster was incredibly quick to react.

The moment it saw the arrow coming, the Ironbacked Brown Bear swiftly turned, using its back covered in needle-like fur to meet the arrow.

Thud!

The arrow struck, but the expected scene of it piercing through flesh and skin did not occur.

Instead, when the Refined Iron Arrow hit the brown bear’s back, it made a dull sound.

It was as if the arrow had struck not the bear’s body, but a wall of concrete.

“What a terrifying defense!”

Han Xing marveled. He also noticed that this elite brown bear had an astonishing 35 points of constitution, giving it extraordinarily strong bodily defense.

The arrow did not harm the brown bear at all. Instead, it completely enraged the giant creature.

Suddenly, it stood up on its hind legs, repeatedly pounding its chest with its paws.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

After the series of dull thuds, the brown bear suddenly opened its mouth and let out a long howl towards the sky.

“Roar!!!”

The terrifying sound waves began to spread.

“Oh no, it’s the skill of this elite monster, Furious Roar!”

Han Xing’s expression changed instantly, “Coal, retreat quickly!”

Berserk Roar is a ranged skill. Although Coal is strong, its physique is relatively weak compared to the brown bear.

Facing this sound wave attack at close range, even if it doesn’t die, it will be severely injured!

However, ‘Coal’ was not foolish. As soon as it sensed the brown bear launching the sound wave attack, it had already begun to retreat.

With a flash of shadow, Coal had already appeared at the edge of the territory.

Ironbacked Brown Bear’s attack did not cause much harm to it.

Han Xing breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn’t notice that the brown bear had, at some point, shifted its target to him.

In the next moment, the brown bear landed on all fours, drool dripping from its mouth, as it looked at Han Xing with anger in its eyes.

A sense of foreboding instantly rose in Han Xing’s heart.

By the time he realized what was happening, the Ironbacked Brown Bear charged at him like a cannonball!

This was its 2nd skill, Ironbacked Impact!

Danger!

At the critical moment, Han Xing used the hunter’s basic skill, Roll!

Han Xing lowered his body, rolled on the spot, barely dodging the Ironbacked Brown Bear’s attack, feeling a lingering fear in his heart.

When Ironbacked Impact hits an enemy, it is guaranteed to deal a critical and knockback effect.

With his frail frame, if he got hit, even if he didn’t die, he would be sent flying into mid-air by the brown bear, then fall from the sky island territory.

At this moment, Coal suddenly flashed like a shadow and appeared beside the brown bear.

There was a murderous intent in Coal’s eyes, as if it was furious at the brown bear’s attack on Han Xing.

“Awwooo!”

Coal emitted a roar that was both childlike and ferocious.

Han Xing saw its figure suddenly turning phantom-like.

In the next moment, numerous spikes suddenly emerged from Coal’s translucent form.

Void Phantom Wolf’s 2nd skill, Spikes of Counter, activated!

In the next moment, 10 spikes erupted simultaneously.

Each spike carried the power of the void, possessing unmatched destructive force.

Even with the fearsome defense of the Ironbacked Brown Bear, it was easily pierced through, its massive body almost becoming a target at this moment.

Thud, thud, thud!

With several sounds of impact, the Ironbacked Brown Bear endured Coal’s explosive skill at close range, taking hits from at least seven spikes.

The Ironbacked Brown Bear never expected this little creature could inflict such severe damage on it, becoming extremely enraged.

However, the Spikes of Counter, infused with void power, continued to corrode the Ironbacked Brown Bear’s wounds, causing its condition to deteriorate significantly.

Void Phantom Wolf’s 3rd skill, [Power of the Void], suppresses healing on damaged enemies and reduces their defense!

Han Xing’s eyes lit up, the opportunity had arrived!

Without thinking, he unleashed his most powerful burst skill.

Multi-Rapid Shots!

In the next moment, five high-quality Refined Iron Arrows struck the brown bear with lightning speed.

Not only that.

Out of these five arrows, two triggered the Armor Penetration special effect, skyrocketing the damage!

This time, Han Xing’s arrow flew unimpeded, easily piercing the thick hide of the brown bear and lodging itself in its flesh.

Narrowing his eyes, Han Xing eagerly watched the giant creature.

He found it was still full of vigor, its movements unfaltering.

“Is it immune? As expected, the snake venom from a level 1 monster is ineffective against this level 5 monster.”

Han Xing felt a bit disappointed.

Shaking his head, he refocused on the battle in front of him.

At this moment, Coal once again drew the Ironbacked Brown Bear’s attention.

Han Xing took up the role of ranged firepower again.

Undoubtedly, having such a formidable pet holding the frontline made the hunter’s battle quite easy.

Once the Ironbacked Brown Bear’s defenses were weakened, and Han Xing’s arrows could inflict damage, the outcome of the battle was clear.

3 minutes later.

The Ironbacked Brown Bear was bristling with 30 to 40 arrows, resembling a pin cushion.

It was utterly exhausted.
