WAO Chapter 534: Quest: Birds in the sky

Through the monocular, Gu Qing Shan saw the situation on the other side of the door .

Snakes .

A den of snakes .

In Gu Qing Shan’s sight, there were nothing but densely entangled snakes .

The room full of snakes was enough to cause anyone to feel numb looking at it .

Even stranger, these snakes seemed almost sentient .

Coiled together, the snakes raised their long necks and bodies with cold eyes staring at the door .

As if they were waiting to pounce at what or whoever was brave enough to intrude .

These snakes also had a peculiar characteristic .

They all carried Elemental powers .

Ice, Fire, Lightning, Wind, Dark, Poison .

Various Elements weaved together, forming a chaotic power vortex .

As soon as the door was opened, the intruder would be sucked towards the vortex .

If the intruder was weak or had no special skills, the only end for them was to be eaten alive by the snakes .

This is going to be a troublesome battle .

Gu Qing Shan extended the monocular a bit further .

The room on the floor was shown in the monocular .

A bunch of imps were clattering over a corpse without any intentions of backing down .

The corpse was already half-eaten, clearly this was a young participant during this time’s call of the Bramble Birds .

 Through this room, Gu Qing Shan then saw a room full of flaming bulls running around .

Using the monocular, he managed to see all the way to the 550th floor while on the 600th floor .

There were a few real demons chasing a pair of male and female .

While in pursuit, they were also toying with them .

The difference in power between the two sides was simply too great .

If they didn’t have a silver cross shining with holy light, they would’ve already been killed by the demons .

But at this rate, the power in that cross would soon be depleted .

At that point, not only will they be killed by the demons, [Kindling] will also obtain a bit more Soul Points .

“This isn’t a few issues for Triste at all, more like for me”

Gu Qing Shan muttered .

Thinking about the System’s [War God Quest], Gu Qing Shan controlled the focus of the monocular to look through several hundred floors until he reached the 239th floor .

------there was supposed to be a demonized person here .

A desert with flowing sand, almost like waves of the ocean, filled the entire room .

The sand was glowing red, as if it was extremely hot, making the air itself distort from the heat .

Besides that, there was nothing else here .

However, thanks to the monocular, Gu Qing Shan saw a person hiding at the very bottom of the sand with a shining white sword in hand .

Coincidentally, a door opened on the desert above right at this time .

A young man with a saber stepped out from the door .

“Ahaha, finally, the next floor!”

He loudly laughed and declared .

Silently, without a sound, a streak of light even thinner than a string slashed through his body .

The young man froze .

This head fell towards the desert, his body was cut in half .

Pfew!

A flying sword flew back into the desert and back into the hiding man’s hand .

He quickly caught his sword, closed his eyes and concealed his presence again .

It was now that Gu Qing Shan noticed that there was a wooden door beneath this sword cultivator’s feet .

Apparently, he was silently waiting right there to prevent anyone passing through .

An excellent assassin, Gu Qing Shan silently judged .

“System, the demonized man, does he carry [Kindling] as well?” he asked .

The War God System replied: [Those who are too average are only seen as food by Kindling]

“I see”

True .
If you haven’t gotten past this round of tests at this point in time, you really could be considered a bit weak .

 Gu Qing Shan didn’t bother to look at him for too long .

Using the monocular, he glanced through all 600 floors, room by room .

Deadly mud swamps, mysterious forest mazes, molten lava pools, demonic towns… various scenes were shown clearly by the monocular .

Gu Qing Shan saw through them all .

There were a few floors where Gu Qing Shan managed to see a few people still struggling for their lives .

After all, the call of the Bramble Birds was made to the entire 900 million World Layers, so there were quite a few people who came to answer it .

Gu Qing Shan saw with his own eyes how a person was eaten alive by a monster .

Unfortunately, they were on the 97th floor, too far away from Gu Qing Shan so he didn’t even have time to think of a way to save them .

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but ask: “The people who die in this skyscraper, will all their Soul Points be absorbed by [Kindling]?”

[Correct, Kindling will absorb the Soul Points of every person who died in this world] the War God UI answered him .

“I’m in a bit of a hurry, can I just not save them?”

[You can choose not to save these people, but once Kindling absorbs the Soul Points of every person in the 600-floor skyscraper, its chances of evolving to Origin will greatly increase]

Gu Qing Shan said nothing else .

He adjusted the monocular again, returning to the 550th floor after looking through all 600 floors .

The male and female who were running for their lives were in a lot of danger .

The demons managed to break through the silver cross’ protective barrier .

Gu Qing Shan put the monocular down and silently sighed .

From the looks of it, he’ll have to save each and every person------ but he doesn’t have that much time .

“Why do you look so disappointed? Is my item not useful?” Laura asked .

Gu Qing Shan shook his head and returned the monocular to Laura .

“I just couldn’t find my girlfriend inside”

“That is indeed bad news” Laura agreed with him .

Gu Qing Shan fell into thought briefly .

If I save everybody who’s currently trapped in the building, I’ll be stuck here for a really long time .
But I can’t just ignore them either .
If [Kindling] manages to absorb their Soul Points, its chances to evolve will greatly increase .

While hesitating, Gu Qing Shan’s gaze subconsciously drifted to the text on the War God UI .

The Quest was still showing there .

[First Quest: Birds in the sky, has been issued]

Gu Qing Shan froze for a short moment .

He just had an idea .

Originally, I just thought that climbing 600 floors must be really complicated, only a flying bird would be able to ignore all of this and fly freely, so I gave it this arbitrary name .
But now, I’ll have to thank this name for the idea .

He drew the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and tried to carve out a square hold on the ground .

This formed an opening------- an opening to go into the 600th floor .

“We have a door right here, what are you doing?”

Laura asked .

“A small experiment” Gu Qing Shan stared at the hole he just made and answered .

“Your sword is quite impressive, cold weapons that are able to break through world barriers like that are very rare” Laura commented with interest .

Gu Qing Shan didn’t answer her and only silently sighed .

If it was the same kind of barrier like Lord Bloodcloak’s that locks onto the soul, it would’ve been much harder .

At the time, Gu Qing Shan was pretending to sleep without putting up his guard at all, that was why he was perfectly trapped in it .

It was very hard to escape once you were trapped .

Lucky for him, this time the Six Paths Great Mountain sword’s anti-Law characteristic worked and managed to carve out a hole in the world barrier .

Which means, the idea Gu Qing Shan had could now be implemented .

Hisssssss~

A confused and chaotic hissing sound came from the hole Gu Qing Shan carved out .

The elemental snakes inside the snake den were becoming wary .

“What kind of sound is that? What is inside?” Laura tried asking .

She was feeling a bit uneasy .

“Not suitable for children” Gu Qing Shan replied .

“Really!?”

Laura excitedly put the monocular to her eye, wanting to see it .

Gu Qing Shan held the monocular down .

“Don’t look”

“Why not?”

“It’s actually a bunch of cute little ones”

Saying so, Gu Qing Shan changed his equipped [War God Title] to [Ace Assassin] .

[Ace Assassin]
[Equipping this title grants you the title Skill: Harvest]
[Harvest: Whenever you instantly kill an enemy in one hit, the spirit energy used for that hit will be refunded]

--------this will ensure I’ll have enough spirit energy to spend .

Gu Qing Shan tapped his Inventory Bag .

An armor riddled in cracks and scratches flew out .

The full You Ji General armor set .

A lot of people once questioned something .

--------why did an armor set of generals have to be so flashy and eye-catching? it would cause safety concerns for the generals while marching on the battlefield .

To this, Bai Hua Fairy Xie Dao Ling only gave a single answer to stop everyone’s questions .

“We are cultivators, only someone willing and capable of putting themselves in front of other cultivators are qualified to wear the mantle of a general”

The armor scattered by itself, swimming like sentient fishes around Gu Qing Shan .

This You Ji General armor included a mask, breastplate, shoulder pads, wrist guards, gauntlets, belt, knee pads, marching shoes, made to look extremely simple without any excess decorations, only carved with intricate runes all over .

Although the armor itself was golden, when Gu Qing Shan wore it, it didn’t look at all flashy, instead it appeared a bit solemn and sorrowful instead .

Laura evaluated his armor a bit before muttering: “What a beautiful set of toys”

“Toys?”

“Indeed, this set of armor is too bad, even worse when compared to your sword” Laura judged it harshly .

“It suits me”

Saying so, Gu Qing Shan carried Laura down from his shoulder and placed her in front of his chest .

He then took out a long rope and used it to tie Laura to himself .

“What are you doing?” Laura was cautious .

“This is to keep you in place, making sure that you and I won’t separate in a harsh battle----- don’t worry, I’ve already made a vow to definitely bring you out of here” Gu Qing Shan told her .

His movements were swift and skillful, quickly binding the two of them tight .

Gu Qing Shan then made another 2 or 3 knots, tried bobbing up and down, pacing back and forth to check the stability of the rope .

It was tight .

------this is good enough for Laura to not fall .

He nodded satisfyingly .

“I keep feeling like you are keeping something from me” Laura was suspicious .

“What would I hide from you?”

Gu Qing Shan laughed merrily before quickly walking to the edge of the 600-floor skyscraper .

“We’re just going to fly like birds in the sky”

He put the silver mask on and completed the final preparations .

Laura slowly realized something as she spoke in an increasingly scared voice: “Wait a minute! You know I am afraid of height, how about we------ aaaaaa! Gu Qing Shan, I hate you!!”

Ignoring Laura’s desperate scream, Gu Qing Shan suddenly jumped off the building .

They went through the clouds, following the snow storm below to descend .

In the blink of an eye, Gu Qing Shan has already passed through several dozen floors .

-------this way, he won’t need to go down floor by floor, saving a lot of time .

Almost immediately, lines of text showed up on the [Kindling] UI .

Then the lines of text turned into a voice .

[Please return to the roof immediately!]
[Please return to the roof immediately!]
[You cannot jump down from the outside of the building, you will not receive any rewards from Triste this way]

“Rewards? I don’t need any rewards” Gu Qing Shan replied .

[But jumping down like this, you won’t be able to gain any Soul Points]
[Kindling] continued: [Please think about this seriously, without Soul Points, you will not be able to gain anything from this!]

No Soul Points…

Gu Qing Shan didn’t answer .

A sword suddenly appeared in his hand .

The Six Paths Great Mountain sword .

“550th floor… right here!” Gu Qing Shan grunted .

The sword moved .

------Secret Art, [Water Severance]!

An overwhelming flow of sword qi rushed towards the building from the outside .

Dong dong dong dong dong!

With the constant sounds of explosions, the outside wall of the 550th floor was broken .

The snowy wind howled as it poured inside .

Gu Qing Shan let go of the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and drew the heavy Earth sword .

In a flash, he disappeared .

Almost at the very same time, various fierce howls came out from the building .

Right after that came a ‘thud’, then the cheering cries of relief .

After just a single breath, Gu Qing Shan appeared outside the building again .

He continued flying downwards .

The blood on his sword quickly scattered in the howling wind .

Gu Qing Shan held a sword in one hand as he consoled the trembling Laura with the other .

He then replied to [Kindling]: “There, I just got Soul Points”
