Chapter 10: Chapter 9: Don’t Just Read Half the Walkthrough

Watching the eager young girl, Li Ang quietly led her behind a giant rock.

This spot was close to the Desert Beast, and they could directly see the Two-legged Flying Dragon.

He pointed to the Two-legged Flying Dragon and then gestured a route, a path that let them use the rock as stepping stones to run all the way to the top.

“Do you see it?”

“Yes, we can go up,” the young girl nodded repeatedly.

Li Ang took the Wind Breath Sword from his side. On his way back yesterday, he made a simple loop with a vine for easier carrying.

“Are you giving it back to me?” Zoe was very happy.

“If you ask like that, the answer is of course no.”

Li Ang didn’t really want to claim the ignorant girl’s treasure; everything happened naturally.

As a member of the well-traveled Celestial Group, even though Treasure Artifacts were precious, he wasn’t particularly fond of them.

Among the twenty main members of The Soul Apex, six owned Treasure Artifacts, and if you counted all that had been handled, it would be over twenty.

Among them were weapons, armor, magical artifacts, and even Summoned Beast Saddles.

In the group, everyone would certainly want to try out Treasure Artifacts, and Li Ang was no exception.

He once long-term used a magical artifact Treasure forged from the collected light of the stars, and with his witch skills, he could easily unleash endless starlight strikes on the battlefield, using it was truly awesome.

But The Soul Apex considered good things as “team property,” and soon the leader gave this Treasure Artifact to a newly recruited female mage.

He once had the chance to get a Treasure Artifact through a means offered by an external friend, but at that time, for the sake of team assaults, he used the funds to supplement the needs for combat and missed the opportunity.

As for Zoe’s Wind Breath Sword, Li Ang didn’t actually use swords, and even as a casting medium, the Tier Three Wind Elemental Energy Source wasn’t impressive. It was actually degraded from a higher tier, and restoring it to its original power would require a lot of work.

The main issue was that she was too energetic.

He felt that taking away her sword was akin to trimming a cat’s claws or fitting it with an Elizabethan collar. If he returned the sword to her, something headache-inducing would likely occur.

“Hold onto it for this battle,”

Li Ang pinched the sword’s body and handed the hilt over, then looked at the Two-legged Flying Dragon: “With a sword, facing it alone isn’t an issue. If you can take it down, great, if not, just keep it busy.”

He pointed to the Desert Beast group: “Once I take them out, we can deal with the Two-legged Flying Dragon two against one, and it’ll be finished quickly.”

“Okay, okay.”

Zoe squatted halfway on the ground, her whole body shaking with tension, power accumulating until she couldn’t wait any longer.

“Don’t rush. When fighting the Two-legged Flying Dragon here, you must also be careful—”

“I’m going!”

With a kick of her slender foot against the ground, the young girl’s whole body flew into the air, laughing as she drew a graceful arc, landing on the sand.

Chirp chirp chirp chirp—

The sand scattered everywhere as she stepped, and the startled Desert Beasts let out sharp cries, rolling up from the ground, quickly moving to surround her.

She’s completely like the boss-puller in an online game!

No choice, Li Ang had to fire off two Tier One Curse Magic Shocks to attract the Desert Beasts’ attention.

Their defense was ineffective against Tier One Curses, and two struck demons shrieked, stumbled, and nearly fell over.

The other Desert Beasts turned their hyena-like heads toward him, their eyes reflecting a burst of green light in the sunlight.

Li Ang beckoned them over, reaching the spot he planned earlier.

Freed from the Desert Beasts’ attention, Zoe moved like a fish in water, the Wind Breath Sword humming, creating gusts of wind around her—a skill brought by the Treasure, “Wind Protection.”

With the wind’s aid, her petite body sprinted like a wildcat, each step taking her several meters forward, the steep rock mountain unable to block her; in a few breaths, she reached the peak.

Hiss—!

The Two-legged Flying Dragon let out a threatening low growl, unfurling its wings in both intimidation and preparation for flight.

“Bad thing, taste my sword!”

Zoe shouted crisply, sweeping out a strong sword strike, the Two-legged Flying Dragon leapt back like a big bird, her strike not landing directly.

However, though the sword edge missed its body, the blade instantly released a gust, a sharp whistling abruptly sounded at the spot. From afar, Li Ang, familiar with spirituality, sensed the instant gathering of the Wind Elemental Spirit.

Treasure Skill—Wind Blade.

The Wind Blade released by a Tier Three Treasure could slice through steel, nowhere near what the Tier One standard dragon scales of the Two-legged Flying Dragon could defend against. Instantly, its abdomen was slashed open, spraying blood in the blade’s direction, carving a blood arc high above, spilling down to the rock mountain’s base.

Li Ang nodded, Zoe’s combat instincts were clear, her swordsmanship had integrated with the Wind Breath Sword.

For now, he needn’t worry about her; he focused on dealing with the Desert Beast group chasing him.

He chose a target on a gentle slope leading directly to Sky Island’s edge.

Beyond that lay the unsupported sky.

Li Ang flicked a Water Mist Stone up like he was flipping a coin.

Like before with Spiritual Manipulation of Solid Earth, he activated the Water Mist Stone’s spirituality to release the Water Element, water flowing in mid-air, descending upon the Desert Beasts.

The sudden appearance of water disrupted these creatures’ steps; they were already averse to water, and now they were directly drenched.

Before they could shake off the water, the descending flow formed into a forceful wave, pushing them down the gentle slope toward the Sky Island’s edge.

Chirp chirp chirp—!

The chaotic sharp cries were engulfed by the crashing wave, propelling them along with the water off the Sky Island’s edge, descending toward the endless Bloody Red Land below.

Solved.

This time, Li Ang used considerably more magic than when dealing with Zoe, about the equivalent of a high-level Mortal Realm, where magic power reinforcement peaked, resulting in a large amount of water.

This water volume was just right to ensure the Desert Beasts were cleared.

For dealing with minor monsters, high-tier close combat professions could take them down one by one, while casters employed group attack spells, whereas Li Ang used the methods of a witch, though admittedly, it required a bit more magic.

With the small monsters easily handled, he looked over at Zoe.

“Help!”

The young girl was suspended upside down by the Two-legged Flying Dragon, gripping her flying skirt helplessly with one hand and swinging her sword at the monster with the other, loudly calling for help.

The Two-legged Flying Dragon, though wounded, was robust; even with a lot of blood spilled, it could still fly smoothly.

See, that’s the consequence of not conveying the precautions in time. This is what happens when you don’t finish reading the guide.

In aerial realm adventures, the most efficient method of killing isn’t combat but throwing others off the Sky Island.

In Nebis, every life knows that falling off the island’s edge is dangerous, but inexperience might lead you to overlook it.

The Two-legged Flying Dragon was clearly adept at this, unable to beat Zoe head-on but knowing how to eliminate her.

“Use your Secret Technique!” Li Ang hurriedly reminded.

“Secret Technique, what Secret Technique?!”

“Your strongest move!”
