Chapter 909: Ancient Light God

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Not long after Li Yi and Jiaojiao reached Sky Island, about a dozen players pretended to be corpses and followed closely behind them.

Hua Feihua had been doing the Sky Island Quest lately as well, but she did not have the resources or the skill, so she died more than 100 times and still never reached Sky Island.

In order to show off to his beloved Sister Huahua, Scumbag Wang had spent several days wandering around Sky Island. He just happened to be lucky enough to bump into Li Yi and Jiaojiao.

Scumbag Wang informed Hua Feihua immediately, and then Hua Feihua brought more than ten male players along with her.

“Sister Huahua, who are they?”

“Friends.”

“Sister Huahua’s friends are my friends as well. Nice to meet you, my name is Wang’er…”

Scumbag Wang tried to shake their hands, but the newcomers did not seem pleased to see him at all. As soon as he approached them, someone evaded him. In the end, not a single person shook his hand.

“F*ck, what’s the meaning of this?” Scumbag Wang’s pride was hurt, and he immediately threw a tantrum.

“They… They… Sigh, why don’t you go there and wait for me for now? I’ll explain later.”

Hua Feihua gave him a wink and pointed at the bushes in the distance.

Scumbag Wang reacted immediately. “Let me touch your big white butt!”

He basically bounded to the bushes and lay there, waiting.

Just like that, Hua Feihua managed to bring her dozen ‘partners’ along. All of them made it onto Sky Island, one after the other.

For now, Li Yi and Jiaojiao had no idea about all of that, because they managed to get there first.

Neither Li Yi nor Jiaojiao was interested in regular birds’ eggs, so they had set their sights on a very specific target from the very beginning.

They wanted the Gold-winged Ones’ eggs!

Li Yi led the way and Jiaojiao followed behind, the two of them heading toward the Winged Ones’ Mother Tree at the heart of the island.

They did not encounter any battles along the way. Li Yi returned to the Winged Ones’ Mother Tree once more and used the Wind Sword to slice off the tree bark that had recovered.

“Come on in!”

Li Yi crawled into the hole.

“You really are something else, you know that? How could you find something so secret?”

Jiaojiao was very impressed.

The two of them crawled up and soon, they had reached the end of the hole. Li Yi knocked and tapped, putting his ear to the wood. It was only when he was sure that there were no Winged Ones standing guard outside that he felt assured enough to slice away the tree bark.

The giant Winged Ones’ nest on the large branch outside had replenished itself with a new golden egg.

“It’s mine!”

 Before Li Yi could even say anything, Jiaojiao had darted forth, grabbed the golden egg, stuffed it into her Backpack, and then strode back quickly with her long legs.

She was one second faster than even Li Yi had been the last time he stole the egg.

Li Yi was torn between amusement and anger. “I never said I was going to fight you for it, what’s with the hurry?”

“Squawk!

“Who stole my child?!”

A furious voice came from above them, and Li Yi pulled Jiaojiao, sliding down the tree quickly.

The owner of the Golden Winged One’s egg was back, and just to be safe, it was time for them to skedaddle.

Li Yi and Jiaojiao slid down the hole and back to the ground. By the time they crawled out of it, several thousand Golden Winged Ones had gathered above their heads, flying around in circles as they roared angrily.

Golden Winged Ones’ eggs were very rare, and every time one was stolen, the Winged Ones would react with their utmost fury.

“Let’s go!”

Li Yi pulled Jiaojiao and they ran away from the Winged Ones’ Mother Tree.

If they wanted to steal another golden egg, they had to wait until the Winged Ones had calmed down. Otherwise, there was no way to make their next move with the Winged Ones flapping all over the place.

“Squawk squawk—”

Just when Li Yi and Jiaojiao had ducked into the forest, the Winged Ones circling the sky above them began to squawk wildly. All of them flew in one direction.

Li Yi narrowed his eyes and concluded, “Another player has arrived at Sky Island.”

“Why do you say so?” Jiaojiao was slightly incredulous.

“When all the Winged Ones fly in one direction, that means they’ve found an enemy. Miss Ah Jiao, this is our chance.”

“What do you mean, our chance? Also, my name isn’t Ah Jiao!”

“I like calling you that, so what are you gonna do about it?”

“Kick you, that’s what!”

Jiaojiao lifted her leg and stomped down at him, but Li Yi was ready for her, and he tilted his body, grabbing her long leg.

“Squawk—”

“Those dishonorable intruders must have been the ones who stole Galaxy’s egg. We must get it back!”

“Kill the intruders!”

As the two of them were playing around, the thousand Golden Winged Ones who had been circling the Winged Ones’ Mother Tree all headed towards the same direction.

“Here’s our chance! Wait for me here!”

Li Yi let go of Jiaojiao and crept toward the Winged Ones’ Mother Tree, his waist bent.

Since a player had attracted the Winged Ones’ attention, there were now far fewer Golden Winged Ones around the Winged Ones’ Mother Tree. This was the best opportunity for him to steal an egg.

Li Yi knew exactly where the Golden Winged Ones’ eggs were located around the Winged Ones’ Mother Tree. After all, in the past life, he had come here all alone without any friends to cast any buffs on him. In order to make himself stronger, he would turn in a Golden Winged One’s egg every day for his daily quests.

He leaped and jumped and bounded!

Li Yi crawled up the Winged Ones’ Mother Tree on all fours, clambering up the slanted side rapidly.

Soon enough, he saw another Winged One’s nest before his eyes. A golden egg lay quietly at the center of the nest.

Li Yi crawled over and stuffed the golden egg into his Backpack.

“Cursed human, let go of my child!”

There was a furious roar above his head, and Li Yi felt a fierce gust of wind on his face. He instinctively tilted his body to avoid it.

“Pfft!”

A feathered arrow sank into the tree trunk, nearly penetrating his body too.

Li Yi raised his head and looked up to see a female Golden Winged One glaring at him furiously. She held a long bow in her hands and was drawing it, ready to fire.

“Zzzzip!”

Another feathered arrow came flying, and Li Yi clambered underneath the nest, dodging this shot with ease as well.

“Tch-psh-bish-tst-pst-brrrr—”

Li Yi drew his Powered-up Arrow. It was only when the female Golden Winged One flew down and entered his line of vision that he finally released the Powered-up Arrow he had charged up for a long time.

“Pfft!”

The Powered-up Arrow penetrated the Golden Winged One’s chest and the momentum carried it forward, pinning it to the tree trunk.

“Cursed human, give me back my child!” The Golden Winged One struggled angrily.

Li Yi slipped away and successfully escaped into the forest before the Golden Winged One could break free.

He did not rendezvous with Jiaojiao. Instead, he ran in the opposite direction.

The Golden Winged Ones were very intelligent, so even if a player had escaped from battle, they could still track the player down.

Players could not log off or use any teleportation devices near the Winged Ones’ Mother Tree, so Li Yi had to rely on his own two legs to escape from the Golden Winged One’s wrath.

Li Yi was not afraid of a single Golden Winged One, of course, but if the battle in the vicinity of the Winged Ones’ Mother Tree dragged on for too long, the legendary Winged Ruler would appear. If that happened, the results would be much harder to predict.

It would be fine as long as he stayed away from the Winged Ones’ Mother Tree.

Li Yi ran a thousand meters away at once, after which he stopped and waited patiently for the Golden Winged One to arrive.

“All humans should die! The Winged Ones shall rule the world!”

The Golden Winged One reached him, and there was still golden blood flowing from its chest. Its expression looked slightly twisted.

“Time— Stinger Arrow!”

Li Yi concentrated his Territory Power on one point and released the shot abruptly.

“Pfft!”

The arrow nailed the Golden Winged One in the head, and countless damage figures exploded from its head. It died in an instant.

The Golden Winged One collapsed to the ground and died, its body instantly vanishing into dust.

“Ding!”

A Purple Quality Ring popped out and Li Yi picked it up, opting to use it.

[Winged Ones’ Storage Ring]

[Special Tool. Disappears upon use.]

[Function: Increases Backpack slots by 10.]

…

Li Yi found Jiaojiao and saw that the Winged Ones in the sky were still flying toward the same direction.

“Something’s wrong. How have they lasted this long without dying?”

“They? Who are they?”

“Idiot, the other players on the island, duh. So many Winged Ones have gone there, but they’re not stopping. That can only mean one thing. The players on the island haven’t been wiped out yet, or else the Winged Ones wouldn’t act that way.”

“Oh, I see.”

“Come on, let’s go have a look.”

“Okay!”

…

On the outskirts of Sky Island, Hua Feihua’s dozen or so ‘partners’ were fighting the Winged Ones mobbing them.

An Ancient Light God that was more than fifty meters tall and made completely of light stood there, protecting these players. This was also why the players have survived until now.

Someone had used an Ancient Light God Summoning Scroll, granting these players the ability to fight the army of Winged Ones.

The dozen or so players, including Hua Feihua, were enveloped in holy light. The Winged Ones’ attacks, be it their Divine Spells or regular attacks, dealt no damage whatsoever.

The Ancient Light God was one of the highest level gods. To put things in slightly hyperbolic terms, even ten Ancient Thunder God Scrolls could not beat one Ancient Light God Summoning Scroll.

The Ancient Light God Summoning Scrolls were powerful and also the rarest of the bunch. Its only weakness had to be its duration. The Ancient Light God only stayed for a mere half an hour.

More Winged Ones made their way over to Hua Feihua and company, surrounding them. It was not that they did not want to escape, they simply could not.

There were enemies on all sides. Where could they go?

“In the words of the gods, I shall bestow upon thee the power of frost. Gather, O Divine Power!”

“In the words of the gods, I shall bestow upon thee the power of flames. Gather, O Divine Power!”

“In the words of the gods, I shall bestow upon thee the power of thunder. Gather, O Divine Power!”

When the White Winged Ones flying in the sky realized that their attacks were not working, they began to chant an incantation. They were casting a Divine Spell!

Divine Spells were a completely different kettle of fish compared to Territory Power. Territory Power originated from one’s own self, and it was an extremely powerful skill that could be activated in an explosive instant. On the other hand, Divine Spells came from the gods, and using them meant borrowing power from the gods. That was why anyone who used them had to chant an incantation first.

The Frost Divine Power friend formed a Frost Arrow, and the Flame Divine Power crystallized into a Flame Arrow. The Winged Ones flew in the air, raining down arrows.

Attacks complemented with Divine Power were nothing to scoff at. Although the players on the ground were protected by the Ancient Light God’s Divine Power, the Divine Power on the attacks kept weakening their Divine Power shield. It looked to be on the brink of collapse.

At this rate, they would not last much longer.

Li Yi and Jiaojiao stood in the woods, watching the battle from afar.

“It’s an Ancient Light God Summoning Scroll! Jiaojiao, our good luck strikes again!”

Li Yi’s eyes glittered with a burning passion.
