Global Descent to Sky Islands: Getting a God-level Talent from the Start - Chapter 70

The Energy Golem extended its two steel hands, grabbed the wings of the monstrous bird, and forcefully yanked them down!

“Caw!!!”

The overwhelming pressure of falling made the bird let out a series of intense, mournful cries.

At that moment, a trace of despair appeared in the monstrous bird’s eyes.

It knew that once it lost the ability to fly, a dead end awaited it.

“Caw! Caw!”

The bird continued to scream, seemingly calling for help.

Han Xing sensed an eerie presence rapidly approaching from the distant forest of the sky island, seemingly trying to stop him from killing the monstrous bird.

The presence was not overwhelming and seemed somewhat weak.

However, Han Xing had already resolved to kill the monstrous bird.

“Today, no one you call can save you!”

In the next moment, Han Xing waved his hand again, and seven Energy Golems suddenly appeared.

Eight steel giants, each over 4 meters tall, dominated the field of vision entirely.

Just seeing them was enough to deliver a powerful visual impact.

The presence continued rushing rapidly toward them, getting closer and closer.

At this moment, Han Xing suddenly spoke in a cold tone towards the forest: “If you want to reveal yourself now, then come out!”

With those words, the eerie presence in the forest’s momentum came to an abrupt halt.

By this time, the chieftain-level monstrous bird had already been fiercely slammed to the ground by the elite golem.

Boom!

A powerful shockwave surged across the ground.

This crash caused the bird to spit out a mouthful of bl00d, feeling as if its entire internal organs were shattered.

After landing, it attempted to struggle further.

At that moment, the eight Energy Golems surrounded the monstrous bird entirely, leaving it no chance for escape.

Within the encirclement, Coal continued to inflict damage on it.

The monstrous bird let out continuous ear-piercing cries, yet what awaited it was metal fists the size of basins and streaks of black light.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Energy Golems punched relentlessly, each blow landing heavily on the bird, causing it to scream in agony.

In a short time, many wounds appeared on the monstrous bird, with its flesh torn apart.

Its energy was growing weaker and weaker, and it could only place its last hope on that presence in the forest.

However.

Whether it was wary of the fighting power of these golems or apprehensive of what Han Xing had just said.

In the mountains and forests, that terrifying presence gradually retreated…

At this moment, the monstrous bird was utterly in despair.

In its final moments of life, all it could see were terrifying metal feet, filling its entire field of vision.

Bang! Bang bang!

After a series of anguished cries.

This level 10 monstrous bird chieftain was trampled to death by several Energy Golems.

Looking at the unrecognizable, bl00d-soaked corpse on the ground.

Han Xing let out a deep breath, his inner rage gradually subsiding.

At this moment, a notification suddenly sounded in his ear.

[Successfully Killed Monstrous Bird Caleb (1-Star Chieftain Creature). You Gained +18,000 XP. Your Pet Coal Gained +14,400 XP.]

[System Announcement: As you are the first survivor to kill a chieftain-level monster on the whole server, you receive a first-kill reward: Spirit Core x5000, Space Bag Blueprint (Blue) x1. You Obtained an Extra Reward: Bloodborne Curse Antidote Formula x1.]

“Another first-kill reward!?”

Han Xing was immediately astonished, “And a blue bag blueprint!”

Previously, Han Xing had felt that his bag space was somewhat insufficient. He didn’t expect that the first-kill reward would directly gift him a blueprint for a blue space bag.

Han Xing even wanted to check the reward immediately, but he remembered that there was still a terrifying presence in the mountain forest.

So, he temporarily stored these things in his bag and quickly controlled the sky island to leave the area.

After a dozen minutes, he was already several dozen kilometers away from the forest.

Only then did Han Xing slowly say: “This should be far enough. Luckily, that thing didn’t follow us.”

He let out a sigh of relief.

Although he didn’t know what exactly was in that cave or how strong it was.

Just the mere presence that made his heart continually tremble suggested it was at least more powerful than the monstrous bird chieftain.

Fortunately, Han Xing deduced from the details in the murals that this presence probably didn’t want to expose itself to people, otherwise, it wouldn’t have stayed hidden behind the monstrous bird.

His threat had indeed worked.

Once out of danger, Han Xing began examining the attributes of the bag blueprint.

[Space Bag (Blue)]: Allows the creation of a storage bag with 100 to 200 storage slots, with some attribute enhancement effects.

[Crafting Materials Required]: Spirit Core x200, Excellent-quality Beast Skin x3, Ether x2000.

[Crafting Success Rate: 25% (Affected by ‘God-level Craftsman’ talent, the success rate has reached 100%).]

[Equipment Requirement]: LV10.

Han Xing nodded and said: “Not bad. The blue bag has at least 100 slots, much larger than my current space bag!”

“However, there’s a level 10 requirement to equip it, but that’s not too difficult for me.”

Having just defeated the level 10 monster leader, his experience bar shot up to 95%, and he would soon reach level 9.

At his current leveling speed, reaching level 10 wasn’t far off.

At this point, Han Xing took out another reward item from his bag.

[Bloodborne Curse Antidote Formula]: This formula allows the creation of an antidote to remove the Bl00d Curse.

“An antidote formula? What’s a Bl00d Curse?”

Han Xing became interested. This formula seemed different from the two he had previously obtained.

Below it, there was even an extensive description.

————

Before the Great Collapse Era, the Witches, as one of the hundred races of the Holy Spirit Realm, possessed formidable strength.

One day, during a tribal ceremony, the leader of the Witches heard whispers in his ear, which he believed were the souls of his ancestors speaking to him, guiding him to that exalted, sacred place.

He asked the voice how he could lead the Witches to prosperity.

The voice was silent for a moment before speaking a few words.

Faith, sacrifice, bl00d…

The leaders of the Witches leader felt immense joy upon hearing the instructions, the ancestors had responded, and the revival of the Witch clan seemed promising!

From then on, he maintained communication with that voice.

Until one day, he finally received the complete sacrificial instructions.

It was then that the leader of the Witches leader realized the enormity of the sacrifice. It required the full strength of the tribe to complete.

As a result, the Witch clan members from all over the world were summoned back, and a grand and massive sacrificial ceremony began.

However, it was precisely this sacrifice that drew forth four terrifying beings from the Alternate Space.

These four beings were unknown, without names, pasts, or clear abilities…

The only commonality was their ability to spread curses, and they did so with unprecedented speed and intensity!

As the four terrible curses spread like wildfire across the Witch clan’s territory,

that night, the Witch clan nearly faced obliteration.

Recognizing the gravity of the situation, the Elven King and the Giant King, both at the peak of their power, brought their Sacred Relics from their clans to restrain the curse.

Yet, even with their efforts, they only barely managed to slay two of the strange beings.

The remaining two escaped back into the Alternate Space.

With the crisis averted, the surviving members of the Witch clan began to recuperate.

However, what the Elven King and the Giant King didn’t notice was that a drop of crimson bl00d seeped into the soil at the site where the strange beings were slain.

This drop of bl00d became one of the sources of the curse.

Many years later, a terrifying being reawakened.

He was preparing to once again unleash a terrible calamity.

But, having experienced failure once, this being became more cautious, plotting gradually and meticulously.

Moreover, he had already found the perfect target.

With his intentional and unintentional manipulation, the remnant soul of this being successfully arrived at the Godforsaken Land.

He planned to prepare his scheme in this area, where the Holy Spirit Realm people dared not enter.

Soon, his plans were nearing completion.

By then, the sky over the entire Godforsaken Land would be stained red with bl00d. This phenomenon was known as the Bl00d Tide.

Under the Bl00d Tide, all living creatures would uncontrollably transform into grotesque and terrifying entities.

Only beings that consumed the Bloodborne Curse Antidote could be immune to this curse.

————

After reading through this extensive formula description, Han Xing gasped in shock.

He originally thought it was just a simple potion formula, but unexpectedly, it was linked to a major event!

Who was the being orchestrating this plan?

Does it have any connection with that aura from the forest earlier?

When will the Bl00d Tide erupt?

Han Xing knew none of this.

He only knew that if no one intervened, then this calamity would sooner or later arrive!

Taking a deep breath, Han Xing mused: “Currently, among all the survivors, I am likely the only one with this information!”

“I don’t know if the natives of this world are aware of this, but I assume they are not, and currently, I have no way of contacting them, let alone informing them of the situation…”

“Moreover, according to the information on this item, the Godforsaken Land I find myself in is a place that even the native of this world dare not enter lightly.”

“In other words, if this calamity strikes, then the billions of humans from Blue Star will be the first to suffer!”

“This is troublesome…”

Han Xing furrowed his brow, “Under the Bl00d Tide, all living beings will mutate.”

“And you must possess the Bloodborne Curse Antidote to resist this curse?”

Han Xing seemed to catch onto some key information and suddenly realized the significance of the potion formula in his possession.

In the future, if the Bl00d Tide erupts, then his potion could even become the key to turning the tide in the battle!

Thinking of this, Han Xing immediately clicked to learn the formula and then checked the materials needed to make it.

[Bloodborne Curse Antidote]: Consuming it can dispel the Bl00d Curse.

[Crafting Materials Required]: Cursed Bl00d x1, Holy Aurora x1, Witchroot Grass x1, Spirit Core x100.

The potion formula isn’t complicated, but of the three key materials, Han Xing had never even heard of.

“It seems these materials aren’t available at this stage. I’ll have to take a look at the Trading Channel when I get the chance.”

After reading the information on the formula, it felt as though a shadow had been cast over Han Xing’s heart.
