"You're bringing me back? Back to the camp? "Gu Qing Shan looked up, surprised.
Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane flapped its wings: "That's right, I'll bring you back, don't worry, I'm your spirit beast, I'll definitely bring you back"
"Alright" Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then nodded.
He used his hand to push himself up, barely managed to climb onto the crane's back.
"Sit tight" Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane told him, flapped its wings and took to the sky.
Two flaming clouds appeared on its wings, leaving a long trail of red light in the air, very beautiful.
Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane flew extremely fast, in just a few breaths, they've already passed countless mountains and rivers.
At this speed, they'll reach the camp in about 15 minutes.
"Aren't we flying too high?" Gu Qing Shan looked down and asked.
"It's no problem, with my speed, no demon can catch up to us. Not to mention, the faster we get back, the faster you can get treated" Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane explained.
"Alright" Gu Qing Shan said, "then I'll have to trouble you to fly more steadily"
"Just sleep for a bit, we'll be there when you wake up" Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane replied, then slowed down a bit to fly more steadily.
A few moments later.
Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane flew higher and higher, but Gu Qing Shan had her eyes closed, as if she was taking a nap, oblivious to this.
A few dozen breaths later, Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane had reached a height where Gu Qing Shan's light barrier couldn't withstand the cold.
"Aren't we flying a bit too high?" Gu Qing Shan finally opened her eyes, looked around and asked.
Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane didn't answer and continued to fly higher.
"It's too high, it's so cold" Gu Qing Shan shivered.
"It's fine if you're cold" Flame-cloud Chasing Sky Crane finally answered, "you're going to die anyway"
Saying so, it flipped its body, causing Gu Qing Shan to tumble down.
Human cultivators had to reach the Golden Core stage to be able to fly and drive flying boats.
Gu Qing Shan was only a Foundation Establishment Initial Stage cultivator. If she fell from such a high altitude, she would definitely die.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and catch me!" Gu Qing Shan yelled.
High up in the sky, the howling wind wrapped around Gu Qing Shan, his body turned into a black shadow, falling down rapidly.
The Flamecloud Chasing Sky Crane chased after him all the way down, not leaving immediately.
There was a sense of ridicule in its eyes, but its tone seemed to have changed into another existence.
"Humans, you are an extremely weak existence, yet you have such a wonderful taste."
This was obviously not the voice of the Flamecloud Chasing Sky Crane, but the voice of a beautiful woman.
"Who are you?" Gu Qing Shan screamed in panic, "My Shifu is a saint! If you dare to do this to me, she will pull out your tendons, peel off your skin, imprison and torture your soul!"
The Flamecloud Chasing Sky Crane's eyes showed a bit of fear, but it was quickly replaced by cruelty and pride.
"Tomorrow is the final battle, not just you, even your Shifu won't be able to live for long — —"
While it was talking without holding back, it suddenly noticed an intense spirit energy fluctuation coming from the void of space.
This spirit energy fluctuation seems to have come from that brat, but at the same time, it wasn't.
Because this was clearly the spirit energy of a Foundation Establishment late stage, only a bit weaker than a Golden Core early stage.
And that brat is so heavily injured that he can't even hold his sword.
Even if that brat was hiding his strength, the Flamecloud Chasing Sky Crane wasn't afraid.
This was the sky, its home turf.
Even flying spirit beasts of the same level couldn't catch up to it, let alone a human cultivator.
Suddenly, the Flamecloud Chasing Sky Crane's vision blurred, all it could see was the blue sky and the ground, but the falling figure was nowhere to be seen.
"Not good!"
It spread its wings, wanting to speed up.
An intense pain came, followed by a numbing and stinging sensation that filled its entire body.
The Flamecloud Chasing Sky Crane couldn't stop twitching, unable to even flap its wings.
It was in a spasming state, unable to control itself!
Not even a single bit of beast essence could be squeezed out from its beast core.
One second passed in the blink of an eye.
A crescent-white sword phantom illuminated the sky.
This was a strike that contained all of Gu Qing Shan's spirit energy.
The crane's long neck was severed from its body, then thousands of tiny strands of sword qi condensed into threads that exploded and twisted in the wind.
In an instant, countless strands of Sword Qi minced the entire demonic bird into pieces.
The Flamecloud Chasing Sky Crane's body turned into a thick mist of blood, dying the void of space a bright red, then was quickly blown away by the howling wind.
The sky returned to its normal blue color. The battle just now was like a dream, as if it didn't happen at all.
One short second.
A Golden Core early stage spirit beast, just like that, dramatically disappeared from the world.
At the same time, a notification popped up on the War God UI.
[You've perfectly executed two instant kills, and the targets you killed were all enemies with a higher realm than you. Please keep up the good work and complete three instant kills of a weaker opponent to unlock the relevant title.]
Hm? There's such a thing?
Gu Qing Shan looked at it in surprise.
War God Title is a very useful thing, just now when he killed the two spirit beasts, he used the Title Skill of [Xiao Qi Chaplain] — — Quick Attack.
When a sword cultivator explodes to kill, it's all about speed and the power of the strike.
Gu Qing Shan's sword is already fast, so the Title Skill that increases his attack speed by 10% on top of that is actually quite a terrifying thing.
In both battles, neither the giant butterfly nor the Flamecloud Chasing Sky Crane managed to escape death in one hit.
Gu Qing Shan checked his Soul Points.
After killing a Foundation Establishment realm giant butterfly and a Golden Core early stage Flamecloud Chasing Sky Crane, combined with the Soul Points he got from killing the Burrowing Demon Python, he now has 300 Soul Points!
Looking at the cooldown period for Soul Points to level up, he found that it's already more than half gone.
The War God UI's style is still the same, strongly encouraging the player to fight against stronger enemies.
Now that there's something more important to deal with, Gu Qing Shan silently noted this down.
As Gu Qing Shan put his sword away, he already had a conclusion.
Since it's come to this, he made his decision without hesitation.
— — -now he can start preparing for the final battle.
He opened his hands and held them in front of his mouth, shouting: "Come and save me!"
His voice traveled very far in the strong wind.
A few thousand feet away from him, a streak of flickering golden light suddenly emerged from a tranquil and pure white cloud.
This golden light turned into a shadow and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.
The golden light paused, revealing a delicate and pretty woman clad in golden armor.
Heaven's Limit sect's Saintess, humanity's Cultivation Alliance's You Ji General, Ning Yuechan.
She caught Gu Qing Shan, fell down with him for a bit before slowly lifting him up.
"What happened just now, why did you kill your mount without saying anything?" she frowned and asked.
"I'll tell you later, I have something more urgent to do right now"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan took out a communication talisman and explained everything in detail.
Following his explanation, Ning Yuechan's eyes opened wider and wider, full of shock.
After saying so, Gu Qing Shan let the flaming light fly away.
Everything is pretty much clear now.
In the past life, humanity's biggest defeat was right in front of their eyes.
Before it happened, no one could've predicted that.
It wasn't until that decisive battle, when the demons and humanity were fighting one another, that the entire thing happened.
The betrayal of the spirit beasts.
If one were to look back carefully, this matter should have been planned by the demons before the game had even begun, when the entire cultivation world was still a peaceful and peaceful place.
It wasn't until the 7th year of the Apocalypse, during a major battle, that the demons suddenly acted.
At the time, all the spirit beasts suddenly turned against humanity.
At first, the situation was exactly the same as the current situation in the human army camp.
There were always problems with the camp's formations, but they couldn't find any traitors, causing the morale of the army to become unstable, everyone was in danger and the generals didn't know what to do.
Then, on the battlefield, when the war reached its most crucial moment, the spirit beasts that were originally the allies of humanity against the demons suddenly turned around and attacked the cultivators from behind.
Even now, Gu Qing Shan can still feel his heart palpitating at the sight of that terrible scene.
One of the 3 Saints, Xuanyuan Tianzun, died in that battle.
Even the players couldn't escape the betrayal of the spirit beasts.
The spirit beasts that were recognized by the System as their mounts or summoned companions suddenly turned around and attacked the players.
You can imagine how confused the players were at the time.
That kind of situation, that kind of lack of preparation, after the war, corpses were everywhere, humanity was forced to retreat 3000 miles away, losing a lot of their strength.
Originally, humanity still had a bit of an advantage against the demons, a bit of a chance to win.
But from the start of that war, humanity fell into a situation where they were at death's door, all the way until the Apocalypse came.
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
This time, now that I know the truth, I can't let the tragedy repeat itself.
And this time, I have the chance to prepare ahead of time, maybe I can do something more.
— — -it's better to do something big and vent my anger from the past life.
Ning Yuechan picked up Gu Qing Shan and tapped her Inventory Bag to release an airship.
As they got on the airship, Ning Yuechan couldn't help but reach for her Spirit Beast Bag, but was stopped by Gu Qing Shan.
"It's not time yet" he said.
Ning Yuechan looked at him and put her hand down.
"Is it true?"
"Hm, it's true"
Ning Yuechan took a deep breath and said: "If it's true, then it's too dangerous"
"It's dangerous, but it's also a chance" Gu Qing Shan smiled.
"It's too risky, if we don't pay attention, we'll lose everything" Ning Yuechan worriedly said.
"That's how war is, small skirmishes won't solve the problem, we have to do something big" Gu Qing Shan said.
Ning Yuechan scoffed: "A mere Xiao Qi like you wants to talk about war with me?"
She proudly raised her chin and purposefully straightened her body so that Gu Qing Shan could see the golden armor she was wearing.
This exquisite golden armor was the symbol of a You Ji General.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but stare at it a bit longer.
"Your figure is quite nice …" he said with a tone that implied he had to admit.
Ning Yuechan blushed.
