Global Descent to Sky Islands: Getting a God-level Talent from the Start - Chapter 71

Since reading through the description of the formula, Han Xing felt a shadow looming over his heart.

The Bl00d Tide, just from its name alone suggests an unimaginable catastrophe, one that nearly wiped out the once-powerful Witch clan.

As for the survivors from Blue Star, even the fastest among them were only at level seven or eight, and none had undergone their first class change yet.

In other words, they were still at the lowest level of this world, merely cannon fodder.

In the face of such a calamity, everyone will be affected, and even Han Xing lacks the confidence to resist such a calamity.

A sense of urgency welled up inside Han Xing.

He had to quickly enhance his own strength, at least to have some power to protect himself when the Bl00d Tide erupts!

Han Xing turned his gaze forward again. The territory was in ruins, with signs of battle everywhere.

Eight massive Energy Golems stood quietly.

Han Xing glanced at the ground and saw that Zhang Lianmeng was still in a deep sleep.

So, he casually made a bed on the territory and gently picked her up.

In her unconscious state, Zhang Lianmeng was unaware of it all. Han Xing only felt a soft body cradled in his arms, with a unique fragrance filling his nostrils.

After placing Zhang Lianmeng on the bed to rest, Han Xing remarked with a strange expression, “Her body is really soft…”

Then, Han Xing retrieved all eight golems back into the storage space.

The view over the territory became clear once again.

The first thing to catch his eye was a massive crater over 20 meters wide, created by that strange bird using some kind of strange cannon.

Han Xing’s lips twitched as he quickly controlled the excess territory to close the crater.

Then, he walked up to the crushed corpse of the monstrous bird, angrily giving it a kick, “Fxck, you destroyed over 400 m² of my territory area with that shot! If not for my large territory, I might have really fallen to you today!”

At this moment, Han Xing felt a sense of relief, thankful he had built the castle at the territory’s core.

Anyone else trying to attack his core would first have to break through the castle’s 1000 defense points.

The damage from the monstrous bird’s cannon shot had only taken less than 60 defense points from the castle.

Looking at the monstrous bird’s corpse, Han Xing felt his anger rising again.

Suddenly, he thought, is it possible to dissect this monstrous bird’s corpse?

He tried clicking on it.

A system prompt appeared.

[Would you like to dissect the corpse of Monstrous Bird Caleb (1-Star Chieftain Creature)?]

“It’s possible!” Han Xing immediately clicked ‘Yes’.

[Dissecting Successful: Obtained Monstrous Bird’s Head x1, Monstrous Bird’s Eyeball x2, Cursed Bl00d x7.]

[Monstrous Bird’s Head]: Quest Item. Possessing the Monstrous Bird’s Head allows you to go to the Elven Royal Capital to claim the bounty.

[Monstrous Bird’s Eyeball]: Special Item. Seems to be a medium for some kind of alchemical formation.

[Cursed Bl00d]: Special Material. Contains a trace of a cursed aura, seemingly usable for making some kind of potion.

Han Xing noticed the third item.

One of the materials needed in the Bloodborne Curse Antidote Formula he obtained was the Cursed Bl00d.

Unexpectedly, this could be extracted from the monstrous bird.

And this monstrous bird was linked with that terrifying presence in the cave.

Given this, his hypothesis is likely correct.

The presence in the cave is possibly related to the impending Bl00d Tide!

No wonder the system’s first kill reward provided him with a potion formula like this.

After dealing with the monstrous bird’s corpse, Han Xing prepared to tidy up his chaotic territory.

Just then, Little Coal suddenly jumped to Han Xing’s feet.

Han Xing asked curiously: “What’s up, Coal?”

Coal scratched at Han Xing’s boot, then in a flash, appeared near the castle.

Following its movements, Han Xing focused his gaze and saw a massive gold-plated cannon at the corner of the castle.

“Holy crap, isn’t this the cannon that monstrous bird used to attack me?”

At this moment, Han Xing vaguely recalled.

When the elite golem rushed into the sky and pulled down the monstrous bird, the cannon on its shoulder had fallen off.

The cannon’s power was incredibly formidable, as Han Xing, having experienced it firsthand, clearly knew.

A single shot even blasted a gap in his territory. if it had hit directly, even an elite-level Energy Golem wouldn’t withstand it!

This thing, it’s a true treasure, a very deadly weapon!

After the initial shock, an uncontrollable joy surged within him!

Han Xing felt his breathing become somewhat rapid.

He hurriedly walked over and picked up the golden cannon.

The item’s properties appeared before his eyes.

[Molten Gold Cannon LV10 (Gold Special Equipment), Quality – Treasure, Attack 436~472, Special Effect – Blast (Cannonball impacts cause 150% impact damage and then explode, dealing 80% blast damage to everything within twenty meters), Special Effect – Scorch (Target hit by the Molten Gold Cannon are afflicted with a burning state, continuously burning health.)]

[Durability Remaining]: 2/50 (Each attack requires 1 durability. When the durability reaches 0, the equipment will become scrapped and cannot be repaired.)

Seeing the surface of the cannon full of cracks, Han Xing’s excitement suddenly sank.

“Only two points of durability left? Does that mean I can only fire two more shots?”

Han Xing felt a bit regretful, and at this moment, he tentatively tapped on the durability section of the Molten Gold Cannon.

A system prompt appeared.

[Would you like to repair the special equipment, ‘Molten Gold Cannon’?]

[Repairing Materials Required: Golden Constant Ingot x48, Excitation Stone x48, Spirit Core x4800, Rare Earth x48000. After successful repair, durability will be restored to full.]

“It really can be repaired!”

A look of delight appeared in Han Xing’s eyes. Pausing for a moment, he continued thinking: “However, the materials required to repair this thing are quite high-end. Golden Constant Ingots and Excitation Stones are things I’ve never dealt with before. Even across the entire Area 107, it might not be possible to find them.”

Han Xing glanced at the durability of the Molten Gold Cannon and sighed, saying: “Once the durability is zero, it can no longer be used. That means, until I find enough materials, I can only fire one more shot.”

After pondering for a while, Han Xing shook his head, “Oh well, one shot is still good. At least I have another ace up my sleeve!”

With that thought, Han Xing stopped fretting over it.

He then began organizing his territory.

About half an hour later.

Zhang Lianmeng woke up from her unconscious state and found herself lying on a bed.

As soon as she opened her eyes, Han Xing’s back came into view.

She was bewildered for a moment, then recalling how she was held in Han Xing’s embrace before she fainted, her face turned a deep shade of red.

So much so that her breathing became somewhat rapid.

Hearing the movement behind him, Han Xing slowly walked over.

At that moment, Zhang Lianmeng was lying on her side on the bed, a position that further accentuated her graceful figure.

Zhang Lianmeng possessed a unique allure, a mixture of maturity and a hint of innocence that made it hard for anyone to look away after just one glance.

Noticing Han Xing approaching.

Zhang Lianmeng’s body instantly tensed. Her delicate toes curled together anxiously under her fair feet. To hide her nervousness, she closed her eyes again, trying to pretend she was still unconscious.

However, Han Xing’s words rang in her ears, “Come on, i can hear your heavy breathing even from 10 meters away.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lianmeng immediately sat up. She hung her head down, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, clearly feeling quite shy.

Han Xing, without saying much more, sincerely expressed: “This time, thank you.”

This gratitude came from his heart.

After all, she truly saved his life.

Zhang Lianmeng was clearly aware that Han Xing’s attitude had softened significantly.

Though Han Xing was indifferent towards strangers, he couldn’t remain aloof towards someone who risked their life to save him.

Zhang Lianmeng responded with a soft “Mm.”

Then Han Xing asked: “What do you plan to do next?”

At the mention of this, Zhang Lianmeng was a bit at a loss.

Indeed, where could she go now?

Her core territory had been destroyed, leaving her unable to even rebuild it.

Without a sky island, she could not even move freely in this world.

Han Xing noticed her predicament and asked: “What about your man? Still no response?”

Zhang Lianmeng seemed to remember this and quickly checked her messages. The next moment, Han Xing saw a look of sadness spread across her face.

“He… he died…”

“Died?” Han Xing was momentarily surprised.

Zhang Lianmeng nodded gently.

“His chat window turned black, and the system indicated that the survivor was out, no longer contactable…”

As she spoke, tears uncontrollably streamed down from her eyes.

Han Xing paused for a moment. After considering the situation, it wasn’t entirely unexpected.

That guy didn’t listen to Zhang Lianmeng’s advice and stubbornly went his own way.

They hadn’t even figured out how high the difficulty of the secret realm was before daringly challenging a 2-Star Secret Realm.

Death was also a normal outcome.

After a moment, Han Xing could only offer his condolences: “My condolences.”

Zhang Lianmeng continued to sob quietly.

But for some reason, she found that she wasn’t as sad as she had imagined.

After all, she and Liu Zekai had just gotten engaged and, in terms of familiarity, she knew the receptionist at his company better than him.

He didn’t even know Zhang Lianmeng’s mother’s name and never cared about her affairs.

Previously, she wanted to find Liu Zekai because, in this world, he was the only person she could reach.

Since coming to this world, she hadn’t felt safe for even a single day. She merely imagined Liu Zekai as her spiritual support when she was scared.

However, after spending these 2 days together with Han Xing, the image of that spiritual support had quietly changed.

She looked at the man in front of her.

Even though they had only been together for 2 days, he gave her a sense of security she had never experienced before…

Half an hour later.

Once Zhang Lianmeng had calmed down, Han Xing approached her, as if he had made some kind of decision.

Han Xing slowly spoke: “Zhang Lianmeng, you should stay.”
