Global Descent to Sky Islands: Getting a God-level Talent from the Start - Chapter 43

“A day? Have I been unconscious for that long?”

Whisperer, enduring the severe pain in his chest, asked: “Cough cough… What happened? Has someone already taken 1st place? Was it Black Hawk or Papaya Star Spirit?”

Moonlit Cat quickly replied: “It wasn’t Black Hawk or Papaya Star Spirit, it was Star River!”

“He took just over 3 hours, skyrocketed over 300 points, and then, at a terrifying speed, directly claimed 1st place!”

“Not only that, the rewards for 2nd and 3rd place have also been claimed by someone named Lonely Hero and another named Cloud Dawn.”

“People in the chat channel speculate that they might be in cahoots!”

Whisperer was also shocked upon hearing this and exclaimed: “What!?”

However, just as he got emotional, he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of bl00d.

Whisperer quickly closed his mouth, his face turning pale.

Moonlit Cat, noticing something wrong, asked: “Boss, what’s wrong with you?”

Wiping the bl00d from the corner of his mouth, Whisperer said with difficulty: “Never mind the ranking rewards for now. I’m injured, severely injured!”

“If I don’t get treatment soon, I won’t last much longer.”

“What!?” Moonlit Cat was extremely shocked and hurriedly asked: “Boss, is the Spirit Spring Water not working?”

Whisperer gritted his teeth and said: “No, it isn’t!”

“Spirit Spring Water can only heal minor injuries. I’m too severely injured now and need stronger recovery items!”

He paused for a moment and continued: “Old Cat, I need you to do something.”

“Consolidate all team resources and do everything you can to help me find some healing items. If you can’t find any, seek help in the Trading Channel. Use whatever means necessary to obtain them.”

“Remember, no matter the cost!”

“Then tell the brothers that the elite monsters in the new area are unprecedentedly strong, with thick skin. Without recovery items, we won’t be able to defeat them!”

Moonlit Cat sensed the seriousness of the situation, quickly ended the private chat, and began to report the situation swiftly to the team members.

However, at this stage, apart from Spirit Spring Water, there are very few other items with healing effects.

Some are even less effective than Spirit Spring Water.

Anxious, Moonlit Cat started posting messages in the Chat Channel and Trading Channel simultaneously.

[‘God’s Whisper’ team is offering a high price for healing items and potions in exchange for a blue-quality greatsword.]

At the same time, another large team, ‘Airplane Men,’ also posted a similar purchasing request.

However, their offer was even more astonishing, directly putting up a blueprint for blue-quality bracers.

The entire 107 Area Channel was instantly in an uproar.

At this stage, the rarity of blue equipment is self-evident.

Even Han Xing and his team haven’t acquired any blue equipment before receiving leaderboard rewards.

In the chat channel, some survivors discussed: “Both major teams are seeking to buy healing items, even willing to trade blue equipment and blueprints. Could it be that something has happened to their leaders, Whisperer and Papaya Star Spirit?”

This speculation is almost entirely correct.

While many among them are tempted by the offers made by these two major teams, none of them have enough healing items on hand.

By the latter half of the night, as more and more survivors reached the 900-point mark, they inevitably encountered the regional boss.

At least level 5 elite monsters showed them what despair truly was.

Many people’s equipment was even inferior to Whisperer’s, and they were severely injured or killed instantly in one hit from the elite monster.

Some survivors who luckily survived began to vent their frustrations on the area channel.

“Damn it! The elite monsters in this area are terrifying. Their stats are high, and their skin is so thick! How can we possibly fight them?”

“To the person above, I’m in the same boat. I barely managed to injure the elite monster, only for it to go berserk without giving me a chance to retaliate…”

“Stop complaining. We’re actually the lucky ones for making it out alive. Look at the leaderboard; many names have disappeared, which means they might already be dead…”

At this moment, they noticed that many names had indeed vanished from the leaderboard, causing a chill down their spines.

To survive after encountering an elite monster is already considered fortunate amid the misfortune.

Other survivors were left in shock.

By this time, they also understood the map generation mechanism at the early stages of this world.

In each survivor’s area, there is a strong monster. Without defeating it, a new map can’t be generated, and reaching 1000 points is impossible.

The system has locked this data tightly.

At this moment, someone asked.

“Is there really no way to deal with such a powerful boss in this area? Logically speaking, the system wouldn’t set us up with an unbeatable enemy from the start, right?”

After this person asked, the chat channel fell silent. This was something many people wanted to know.

Then, a weak male voice arose in the chat channel.

“Cough cough… This friend is correct; the system wouldn’t set us up with an unbeatable enemy.”

The speaker was Papaya Star Spirit, the leader of Airplane Men. He often posts strategy guides and is well-regarded in District 107.

As he spoke, the other survivors held their breath, eager to hear his insights.

At this moment, Papaya Star Spirit said: “Cough cough… To be honest, I also encountered an elite monster, but I am ashamed to say I narrowly escaped with my life.”

As someone who had been consistently in the top 3 rankings in recent days, Papaya Star Spirit’s skill was acknowledged.

His words made the other survivors perceive the danger of this area’s boss as being even more severe.

Papaya Star Spirit continued: “However, this failure wasn’t without its gains.”

“From my observations over this period, I found that the monster attributes everyone encountered are likely similar, leading to a general conclusion.”

“To defeat this level 5 elite monster, at least a green main weapon is required to cause damage. This is a strict requirement; don’t even think about it if you can’t meet this.”

“If you have other green gear, it can increase some margin for error. Besides these, you also need decent combat awareness.”

“However, more importantly, there must be healing items or skills related to healing!”

“Otherwise, when a monster goes berserk, anyone, regardless of who they are, will inevitably get injured. Without healing potions, they simply cannot continue fighting.”

After Papaya Star Spirit finished speaking, the chat channel was filled with the sound of people gasping.

At this moment, others spoke up.

“So that’s it. Are the elite monsters in this area really that terrifying?”

“Is it necessary to have a recovery potion? Otherwise, it’s impossible to clear the level?”

“Then how did God Star River, Cloud Dawn, and Lonely Hero make it through? Could it be they have recovery potions with them?”

This speculation was indeed correct; Han Xing actually had a large supply of Life Potion.

Many people also thought of this at the same time, and suddenly, all attention was focused on Han Xing.

That night, Han Xing’s private messages exploded!

They were all eagerly longing for the recovery potions in Han Xing’s possession!
