Global Descent to Sky Islands: Getting a God-level Talent from the Start - Chapter 63

The team members were enthusiastic.

At that moment, a young-looking man, seemingly in his early thirties, from the God’s Whisper team asked: “Leader, there are still other brothers on their way here, and they too would like some support. Should they… should they come over?”

Whisperer shook his head and said: “No, our team already has 8 people, which is about the limit. Adding a few more might really attract some terrifying monsters.”

Seeing the man seemed to have something on his mind, Whisperer added, “Liu Zekai, you are a key member of our team. If you have any important relatives or friends, you can arrange for them to come over. One more person shouldn’t be an issue.”

The man named Liu Zekai thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, “Never mind, not someone really important.”

Whisperer nodded and continued, “If anyone wants to form a team, you can send your coordinates and strength information. We will arrange for someone to join up based on team configuration and nearby locations.”

“Huang Wen, you were my company’s HR department, so I’ll leave this to you. Make sure the brothers quickly find their groups and teams.”

A man beside him, with a mole at the corner of his eye, nodded and said: “Understood, Mr. Chen.”

Whisperer assigned one task after another.

Just then, a female team member asked: “Leader, have you seen the current leaderboard?”

“That Star River, by noon, already reached level 8. I’m not sure how he farms. He’s a real monster…”

After speaking, she hesitated and asked, “Do you think we can catch up to him?”

Whisperer thought for a moment, then shook his head, “Probably not. This Star River is indeed talented. His last two transactions caused a stir in the entire channel. He probably has a large stockpile of materials on hand.”

“If he could join God’s Whisper and contribute his resources, everyone’s level and equipment strength would improve by several tiers.”

“Unfortunately, I’ve invited him several times, but he has always refused…”

Hearing this, everyone felt a tinge of regret.

However, they also understood that someone like Star River would never be content to work under someone else. Whisperer’s expectations were a bit naive.

After discussing a few more matters regarding the team’s future development, Whisperer announced the meeting was over.

As everyone was about to leave, Whisperer suddenly gave Huang Wen a piece of instruction.

“Lately, have our brothers keep an eye on other survivors’ Sky Island territories. If you spot anyone with a castle, make sure to send me their location. There will be a generous reward!”

“But, do this discreetly. We can’t make a big fuss about it. Use your own judgment on how to handle this.”

Huang Wen thought for a moment and connected it to when Whisperer traded a castle blueprint to Star River during the Life Potion auction. He suddenly understood something.

He nodded seriously: “Alright, Mr. Chen, I’ll pay special attention to this.”

“Okay,” Whisperer replied.

A hint of a dark look flashed in his eyes.

…

At this moment, Han Xing had begun to adjust his territory again, changing it from 2 layers to 3.

The overall area did not change, but the territory’s thickness increased to 3 m.

At this moment, Han Xing pondered: “If I continue stacking in this manner, as long as my exploration speed is fast enough and I gather enough sky island fragments, could I possibly create a floating land someday?”

This idea should be feasible.

After all, in the secret realm, he had already seen the dwarves’ palace, with a valley right beside it.

In this world, there are likely many sky islands of extraordinary size.

Living on such a huge sky island would be no different from living on land.

After a round of busy work, it was dusk once again.

Han Xing was preparing roasted meat to reward himself. However, just after finishing roasting the first wild boar leg, he noticed something unusual happening in a patch of sky island territory ahead.

There seemed to be a survivor’s territory there, spanning over 1,000 m².

Nearby, there was also a monster sky island of over 100 m².

In the distance, a human mage was raising her staff, battling against a group of gnolls.

This was a female mage, tall and voluptuous. Her green mage robe seemed ill-suited for her curvaceous figure, appearing somewhat tight and constricting.

Below her beast skin shorts, her long and shapely legs were stunningly white, dazzling to the eyes.

Most of her equipment was of green quality, but her staff was a rare blue one.

This level of equipment strength was considered formidable among the survivors.

Han Xing, munching on a pig’s trotter with oil dripping from his mouth,

remarked with an amused tone: “Wow, didn’t expect to catch a show while having a meal. That’s not bad at all.”

However, before Han Xing could take another bite, he heard the female mage’s scream.

“Ah!!”

The sharp cry echoed across the sky.

Han Xing saw that the female mage’s Fireball Spell had missed its mark, and before she could cast her next spell, a gnoll monster had already rushed up to her.

In the next moment, the gnoll swung a large club and struck her hard across the waist.

The gnoll had no thought of showing mercy, and with this blow, the female mage was sent flying several meters away.

At the same time, the remaining 7 or 8 gnolls also jumped onto her territory.

The situation turned critically dangerous in an instant.

These gnolls were level 5 or 6 monsters, and with the female mage’s equipment strength, she would have been able to fight them off if she hadn’t panicked.

But upon seeing the monsters charge into her territory, she was so terrified that she couldn’t even chant her spells.

This level of reaction made Han Xing wonder how she had survived until now.

At this moment, the woman was still screaming frantically, and she seemed to have noticed Han Xing.

In her eyes, once filled with despair, a desire to survive reignited.

Han Xing then got a clearer look at her face.

It was a face with a touch of mature charm, her features exquisite, looking slightly older than Han Xing. Perhaps due to her maturity, there was an added distinctive quality in her expression, making her appear like a beautiful woman.

On Blue Star, a woman like her would certainly attract the affection of wealthy men.

But now, all she could do was desperately scream for help.

“Help…”

However, the moment Han Xing heard her plea, he immediately controlled the Sky Island to turn away and leave.

He needed to distance himself from such a fool to avoid getting dragged down.

Hero saving a damsel in distress? Not going to happen.

The voluptuous female mage swallowed the words she was about to say. She had never imagined such a scenario.

A delicate woman being besieged by monsters, and this man, upon hearing her cry for help, left without hesitation…

Left…

Her mind was on the verge of madness.

However, she couldn’t afford to ponder over this any longer because a gnoll was already charging at her, swinging its bone club.

She took a deep breath, her already ample chest rising to an exaggerated size, making one wonder if she might tear her robe with another deep breath.

“I can’t die here! It’s just a few monsters. I can defeat them!”

The female mage encouraged herself, “As long as I create distance, then release a fireball…”

She calmly analyzed the situation, and suddenly, a sense of confusion came over her as she looked up.

“Uh… right, what was the incantation for the Fireball Spell again?”

“……”

“……”

The sudden silence in the air was the most terrifying.

However, the gnoll wouldn’t give her time to think.

This time, the bone club fiercely slammed into her soft shoulder.

Bang!

The woman was sent flying back over 10 meters, and upon landing, she spat out a mouthful of fresh bl00d.

Waves of pain surged through her body, causing tears to well up in her eyes.

She looked at Han Xing as he gradually moved further away, like grasping at her last lifeline, and shouted frantically.

“Help… help me!”

However, Han Xing turned a deaf ear and continued to move away.

The woman continued to shout: “Help me. My fiance is Liu Zekai, and he’s in the management of the God’s Whisper team.”

“If you save me, he’ll definitely reward you handsomely!”

However, upon hearing those words, Han Xing, who was already leaving, not only didn’t stop but ran even faster.

He really didn’t want to have any involvement with the God’s Whisper team.

The woman was stunned. She didn’t understand why, after she mentioned God’s Whisper’s name, he ran even faster.

“Didn’t Zekai say… God’s Whisper is a renowned team across the entire Area 107? If there’s trouble, just mention the name…”

But now, mentioning the name not only had no effect, but it seemed to have backfired a bit.

At this moment, two gnolls were brandishing bone clubs, charging at her again.

In what could be her final moments, the woman bit her lower lip tightly, frantically thinking.

Suddenly, she thought of something and shouted out loud.

“I have an item for a hidden quest! If you save me, I’ll give it to you!”

Han Xing, who had already run nearly a kilometer away, faintly heard the words “hidden quest.”

In the next moment, under the delighted gaze of the female mage, Han Xing’s pace finally stopped.

Then, he quickly turned and moved towards her.

The female mage was so overwhelmed with emotion that she nearly burst into tears.

What seemed like a hopeless situation suddenly had a glimmer of hope at this moment.

Meanwhile, she once again raised her staff, casting the mage’s most basic blast skill to push back the gnolls.

She struggled against the 8 or 9 gnolls surrounding her, all the while awaiting Han Xing’s reinforcement.

However, when Han Xing was just a few meters away from her, he suddenly stopped on the sky island.

Under the confused gaze of the female mage, Han Xing asked: “What is the hidden quest?”

He wasn’t someone who would rush in blindly just because of a casual statement. He wanted to confirm first whether this woman was worth saving.
