Global Descent to Sky Islands: Getting a God-level Talent from the Start - Chapter 68.2

Coal barely dodged or avoided, directly facing the bird’s attacks and continuously dealing damage to it.

This form represented Coal’s true combat strength. Even right after leveling up, it could confront the Energy Golem, which possessed chieftain-level strength, and completely dominate it.

In terms of threat level, this monstrous bird was not even on par with the elite-level Energy Golem.

Its physical and mental attributes seemed to be under the effect of some debuff, significantly weakened.

Its body was extremely frail, lacking the defensive power of a lord-level creature.

Its only advantages, dexterity and strength, were still suppressed by Coal.

At this moment, Zhang Lianmeng couldn’t clearly see the battle in the darkness. She could only vaguely make out that it seemed like a shadow was fiercely attacking the monstrous bird.

And it appeared that the monstrous bird was at a disadvantage?

The bird was screeching repeatedly in agony.

She was completely bewildered and had no idea what kind of creature that shadow was, but she presumed it must have something to do with Han Xing.

In her heart, this man’s mystery and strength gained a few more levels.

At that moment, the monstrous bird’s several attacks not only failed to touch a single hair on Coal but also added dozens of claw marks to its body.

At this moment, the bird felt utterly frustrated.

It took a deep breath, and its skin-and-bones chest slowly expanded, appearing to be gearing up for some major move.

At this point, Han Xing suddenly remembered the monstrous bird’s fifth skill.

Gale Dance.

That seemed to be a large AoE destructive move.

At this moment, Han Xing said seriously: “Da hell, using a major move right in front of me? Did you forget I’m even here?”

The monstrous bird, hearing the voice, glanced at Han Xing with its bl00d-red eyes.

The next moment, it suddenly saw five arrows shooting fiercely toward its head.

At this moment, the monstrous bird wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

In a life-or-death crisis, it was forced to interrupt its powerful move’s charging and raised its fleshy wings to desperately protect its vital areas.

Splat! Splat splat!

All five arrows hit, causing bl00d to spurt out in fountains.

“Squawk!”

The monstrous bird let out a wretched cry as if it had suffered a very severe wound.

Han Xing was able to injure the monstrous bird, which was an expected outcome.

After all, his attack power was even stronger than Coal’s. When the monstrous bird chieftain first appeared, Han Xing was already able to harm it.

Now, after the multiple weakening assaults by Coal, his arrow attacks had become even more deadly.

At this moment, seeing that it was outmatched, the monstrous bird flapped its wings, creating a gust of wind that pushed Coal back.

Then, without looking back, it darted into the depths of the cave at an even faster speed.

This monstrous bird actually just fled.

Han Xing was stunned for a moment, about to press the advantage and pursue.

But he seemed to think of something, his expression suddenly changed, and he gave up on the idea.

Coal’s figure flashed, ready to chase after it.

Han Xing quickly shouted: “Coal, come back.”

Coal stopped the chase.

The battle abruptly ended.

At this moment.

In the dark cave, only the sound of two people and a wolf catching their breath remained.

Han Xing took a deep breath, gazing in the direction where the monstrous bird had fled. After a moment, he said, “Let’s go.”

Zhang Lianmeng seemed to have just snapped back to reality, “Huh? Where to?”

Han Xing glanced at her: “Where else could we go? That monstrous bird was driven away, not killed. It could come back at any time.”

“This is its territory. Who knows what other tricks it has up its sleeve? We should leave while we can.”

At this point, Han Xing suddenly looked at her, showing a spooky smile: “Or do you like it here and want to stay longer?”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lianmeng shivered slightly, and hurriedly said: “No! I don’t want to stay here alone!”

“Then let’s hurry and go.”

Han Xing chuckled and headed toward the passageway.

Zhang Lianmeng followed closely behind him, almost sticking right by him.

At that moment, she nervously asked: “What was that shadow that helped us fight just now?”

Han Xing knew she was asking about Coal and casually said: “It’s a pet I raised. Don’t ask further.”

“Oh…”

Although Zhang Lianmeng was very curious, she had a vague understanding of Han Xing’s personality and decided not to press further.

Han Xing walked unhurriedly toward the entrance of the passage. He vaguely sensed that there were a pair of sinister eyes watching him from the depths of the cave.

Ever since seeing those murals, he had been shrouded in an uneasy feeling.

Even after the monstrous bird was repelled, the anxiety in his heart did not diminish in the slightest.

At this moment, Han Xing recalled the content of the murals.

The monstrous bird was clearly the transformed elf male, and according to the murals, there was a terrifying shadow always following him, even escaping with him to this place.

In other words, there might be more than one enemy in this cave besides the monstrous bird.

This place was too creepy.

Without sufficient strength, Han Xing didn’t want to return to this haunted place.

This was also why Han Xing called Coal back.

At this point, Coal followed behind them.

Only after entering the passage did Han Xing finally let out a slow breath.

In just these few hundred meters, he felt as if his back was soaked with sweat as if he had just fought a great battle. (T/N: You know it’s not because of the enemies, right? (¬‿¬))
