MMO: Pierce Heaven Til' It Breaks
Chapter 901 - Challenging Quest
Panda Novel
Sky Island was an elliptical-shaped, large-sized island that could be flown into from any direction. The island was covered with lush overgrown trees that the Winged Ones built their nests built on.
Based on the color of their wings, Winged Ones were categorized into three ranks. The lowest were the Gray Winged Ones. They were the weakest and possessed the lowest IQ. They were mainly responsible for manual labor, such as transporting goods and building nests.
The middle class were the White Winged Ones, who were also the most common. The White Winged Ones were the main force that attacked the players. When compared to the Gray Winged Ones, they were stronger, smarter, and possessed Divine Power. Moving in groups, they were the most powerful enemy that players would fight at the launch of the Wings of the Sky pre-expansion event.
The highest-ranked Winged Ones had golden wings. With the highest ATK and IQ as well as the ability to use Divine Spells, each of them was a boss-level character of the Winged Ones.
Under normal circumstances, the Golden Winged Ones would not leave Sky Island, instead, remaining in their nests at the center of the island.
Up on Sky Island there were a total of ten dungeons and in accordance with the difficulty level, the most challenging dungeons were closer to the island’s center. Should players wish to tackle the dungeons, they must first defeat the Golden Winged Ones outside the dungeon and occupy the Mother Tree stronghold.
The three quests Li Yi accepted were Mount Sky Island, Magical Winged One’s Egg and Winged One’s Excrement.
He completed the first quest the moment he reached Sky Island while Winged One’s excrement was an easy find. Simply picking a tree and digging around the roots would reveal a pile of shiny tiny white balls. These were the Winged Ones’ waste matter and just one ball was enough to turn in the quest.
Among the three quests, the hardest to complete would be Magical Winged One’s Egg. This was a daily quest that players were allowed to attempt once a day on Sky Island.
The Winged Ones built their nests on trees. If players sought EXP and did not want any other rewards, this quest was not hard. The nest of a regular Winged One could be found anywhere and a thorough search would easily reveal an egg.
Finding the eggs of Gray Winged Ones was child’s play. Their nests were built on the lowest tree branches. One could just climb up a tree and find the eggs to complete the quest.
The White Winged Ones’ nests were at the highest branches. They laid the most eggs but to players, it was not as easy to get their hands on them.
The reason was simple. The White Winged One’s eggs hatched incredibly quickly.
The Gray Winged Ones’ eggs required at least a month to hatch while the White Winged Ones’ eggs only needed a few hours. This accelerated speed was also the reason for the endless White Winged Ones Army.
If stealing a White Winged One’s egg was in mind, then one had to be wary of it hatching. In his past life, many players, while doing this quest, would pick up an egg and have White Winged One hatch from it.
Once a player’s whereabouts were exposed in Sky Island, what remained for them was an endless barrage of Winged Ones.
The third type of egg was the Golden Winged Ones’ egg that was only found on the Winged Ones’ Mother Tree. Since they were rare, the reward for handing them in was, naturally, the best.
Players would obtain three different rewards depending on the type of Magical Winged One’s Egg they turned in.
Completing the quest by handing in a Gray Winged Ones’ egg would only reward EXP.
Completing the quest by handing in a White Winged Ones’ egg would reward EXP and a 20% of gaining a beneficial buff.
Completing the quest by handing in a Golden Winged Ones’ egg would reward a generous amount of EXP and a 100% chance of gaining beneficial buff.
Even at the level cap, EXP was still important as it was necessary for learning skills and upgrading Territory.
However, the most attractive part of the three rewards was not the EXP but the beneficial buff. Turning in a White Winged One’s egg only offered a 20% chance in obtaining the buff but handing in a Golden Winged One’s egg guaranteed the buff. This was the big difference between the two.
…
Li Yi cautiously weaved his way through the forest, staying away from the patrolling Winged Ones as he headed towards the Winged One’s Mother Tree in the center of the island.
For his trip to Sky Island, his target was to steal a Golden Winged One’s egg.
In the early stage of the God Wars Competition, buffs awarded by the God Messengers were extremely helpful in the Open Colosseum. If they were not Li Yi would have saved himself the trouble of coming here.
With the rewarded buff, facing powerful monsters in the Open Colosseum would be a breeze.
When Li Yi played a Thief in his past life, he had succeeded in stealing Gold Winged One’s eggs on the Winged Ones’ Mother Tree multiple times.
With the help of the memories from his past life, Li Yi darted left and right in Sky Island without startling any Winged Ones. He arrived at the Winged Ones’ Mother Tree in the center of the island easily.
The Winged Ones’ Mother Tree was an immense old tree about a thousand meters in thickness and towering over ten thousand meters. Even without travelling to Sky Island, one could see the huge tree rising through the clouds like a pole.
An uncountable number of Winged Ones circled the huge tree; however, the deafening caws of the inferior Winged Ones could not be heard.
According to records, the first Winged One was conceived on this very tree, so Winged Ones treated the Mother Tree with the utmost respect. Any Winged Ones flying here would stop cawing as a sign of respect.
The Winged Ones’ Mother Tree was so large that its bark was pitted and uneven.
Li Yi went a familiar spot from his past life and started climbing the Mother Tree, using both of his hands and feet.
Li Yi climbed about a dozen meters before retrieving his broadsword and digging at a darkened piece of bark.
If this scene of bark-stripping was witnessed, the Winged Ones would have gone ballistic.
Soon, Li Yi crawled into the huge hole he had dug out of the Mother Tree. The wood inside was already rotting. It was a wormhole!
The wormhole extended upwards, allowing Li Yi to climb the tree from the inside. As he was safe inside the wormhole, the number of Winged Ones flying around outside did not concern him.
Li Yi used his sword to climb about fifty meters before reaching the end of the wormhole. There was no more rotting wood ahead. He tried to stab forward but could not strip off much bark.
Tapping to his left and right, Li Yi started digging towards the direction where the sound was hollow.
“Pft! Pft!”
After about seven stabs, the bark was now mostly shaved off. A gentle ray of light shone in, reflecting on Li Yi’s brightened eyes.
Outside the tree hole, was a Winged One’s nest on a thick branch. Li Yi could see a golden egg quietly lying in the nest.
Li Yi looked to his left and right to confirm no Winged Ones were watching before rushing out of the hole towards the nest to quickly grab the golden egg and place it into his backpack. He then swiftly ran back and dove into the tree hole.
The entire process took less than 5 seconds!
“Tst —”
Li Yi slid down the tree hole.
“Who stole my child?”
An enraged voice was heard echoing through the hole. Li Yi’s egg-stealing operation had been discovered…
