Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start

Chapter 710: 707, “Fire Stick”_1

“Watch the sword!”

Sky Dragon unsheathed the [Village’s Best Sword] that Su Yu had given her, pointing it towards the charging giant statue.

Hmm——

The rusty blade of the Village Best Sword detached from the hilt, falling downwards.

Meanwhile, the statue’s core control area was completely shut down. Its body continued to rush forward, but that was just inertia at work.

“Now’s the time.”

...

Seizing this opportunity, Sky Dragon flew to the tip of the statue’s head. The bow and arrow in her hand, drawn to a full moon, unleashed a mighty spiritual energy towards the statue’s eye.

Crack!

The statue, now in a state of [shock], didn’t even have the chance to evade.

The spiritual energy-infused arrow penetrated through the red-glowing eyes of the statue, hitting the most critical control area in the brain.

Boom!

A loud noise!

The statue’s head instantly exploded. The core, wholly destroyed by the spiritual energy carried by the arrow.

Its massive body lost all control as it collapsed to the ground with a loud crash.

…

Looking at the ‘final boss’ that she had defeated with a single arrow, Sky Dragon wiped her cold sweat, revealing a sweet smile.

She acknowledged that her last arrow was a bit of a gamble.

What motivated her to make this bet was a detail she noticed earlier—when the statue was released from Dumpling the Panda’s [Taunt] control effect, the statue didn’t immediately switch to blue light to remove control. Instead, it did so after about a second.

Sky Dragon was well aware that if she used the [Village Good Sword] to control the statue, there was a good chance it would switch its eyes to blue light to remove control. Therefore, she was betting on the statue not switching immediately.

This time, when she used the [Village Good Sword], had the statue’s eyes immediately switched to blue light to remove control, her next arrow would likely have missed the statue’s eyes, putting her in a dangerous close-quarters situation with her melee opponent.

However, if the statue’s eyes didn’t instantly switch to blue light, like in the previous situation, when it paused for about a second before changing, then her arrow could precisely hit the statue’s eye and quickly destroy the core within.

As it turned out, she had bet right!

The Mithril Arrow pierced through the statue’s eye, completely damaging the core control area. It crashed to the ground with a loud bang.

…

“That was tough, wasn’t it Dumpling?” Sky Dragon smiled at the charging Dumpling the Panda.

Dumpling dispelled its empowering ultimate move and reverted to its original height of two meters.

It dashed to Sky Dragon’s side, buried its big head into her embrace, and rubbed affectionately. Its eyes expressed only shock at the scene that had just unfolded, as though telling her that she had taken quite a risk.

“Don’t worry, Dumpling, see, everything is fine now!” Sky Dragon smiled and ruffled the panda’s big head: “You’ve been quite a help this time. Once we return to your world, I’ll make sure to buy you a feast of tender bamboo and bamboo shoots!”

Dumpling let out a soft cry and rubbed against Sky Dragon again, seemingly expressing its joy.

Sky Dragon once again petted Dumpling’s big head before heading towards the spot where the giant statue had fallen.

…

After the giant statue fell, two cuboidal cores, one red and one blue, exploded out from its chest cavity.

The cubic cores had enigmatic patterns etched on them, seeming to serve significant purposes.

Sky Dragon had already come across such cores, and she had gathered quite a few along the way.

She opened her Space Ring and took out one orange, yellow, green, indigo, and violet core each.

These five cores had dropped from the other mechanical beasts in the secret realm earlier. Combined with the red and blue cores obtained now, she had a full set of the seven colors.

As for how to use these seven cores, she already had the answer upon seeing the small barrier at the peak’s center.

Surrounding the small barrier were seven cuboidal slots. The slots were the perfect size for the seven cores.

Undoubtedly, with these seven cores in place, this small barrier could be opened.

Without wasting a moment, Sky Dragon walked towards the barrier holding the seven cores.

On reaching the edge of the small barrier, she placed the seven cores into the slots following the color-coding above.

The barrier exploded with a dazzling rainbow light, illuminating the whole barrier; it was a truly mesmerizing sight!

Ten or so seconds later, the rainbow light faded, and the barrier split into seven pieces, revealing the hidden object inside.

“Finally got it, what a task!” Sky Dragon was overjoyed as she looked closely at the contents of the barrier.

After the rainbow light had dispersed, the only item left at the spot of the small barrier was something akin to a stick used to stoke fire, pitch black in color.

Seeing this extremely unsightly item, Sky Dragon was greatly disappointed.

Come to think of it, did she really spend half the day, just to get this ugly thing!

She reached out and picked up the “fire poker”.

The “fire poker” was incredibly lightweight and felt just like an average wooden stick. She couldn’t sense any spiritual energy inside it.

Did she just get played for a fool?

Could this be a prank by some mighty trickster who crafted this hidden treasure map just to fool the subsequent scavengers?

This secret realm was a location Sky Dragon had discovered on the treasure map—the setup was extremely elusive and seemed that it had not been explored by anyone else.

Truthfully speaking, the possibility of the treasure hider harboring such malicious humor couldn’t be entirely ruled out.

However, it was hard to say.

This was not a game where you could necessarily determine an item’s property at a glance. As of now, she didn’t know what this “fire poker” was. What if it was valuable and she just didn’t realize it?

With this thought, she threw the “fire poker” into her Space Ring.

She’d ask Cindy Doppler about it next time they met.

“Let’s go, Dumpling, onto our next destination.” Sky Dragon waved to Dumpling the Panda and walked towards the exit of the secret realm: “I hope the next site doesn’t have something that appears so useless.”

Sky Dragon made her wish silently.

…

…

The current situation of Blue Star players concludes here temporarily.

Without realizing, four days had passed.

It was the seventh day since the 12 players from Blue Star had arrived at the Skru Star.

In the past four days, the cat-and-mouse game between the Skru people and the players from Blue Star had continued.

On the sixth day, the Skru people captured another player from Blue Star, a warrior from the Oceanic Server—Minsk.

So far, the Skru people had captured three players from Blue Star. The others had managed to evade the Skru people’s hunt.

The Skru people were relentless in their pursuit. In addition to these three, they had more or less located the other nine players.

However, having said that, it was clear that the arrest operation had concluded temporarily, making it much harder for the Skru people to capture the Blue Star people.

The reason was simple—the spatial tunnel connecting the Skru Star to Blue Star had opened again!

In a small country to the southwest of the Raging Sun Empire, Zhong Feng, in the form of an eagle, noticed the faint green light glowing on his jade amulet. A smile crept onto his eagle face.

This jade amulet’s glow signaled that the spatial teleportation was activated.

Now, as long as they wished, they could return to Blue Star at any time.

This was an added layer of safety for their lives.
