God-level Hero

Chapter 1229 - 1142: Racing Against Time to Pursue and Escape

After upgrading the Blood Eagle with Blood Sacrifice, Da Fei decided to once again challenge the treasures on the ground. The Blood Eagle underwent the Blood Sacrifice four times, gaining a total of four precious Growth Skill Points, the first of which was used to learn the Petrification Aura, and Da Fei also decided to use the remaining three points to learn something that would increase the chances of success for this operation.

Honestly, ever since he first killed the Petrified Giant Lizard in the swamp and obtained a Petrification Aura book, Da Fei subconsciously believed it was easy to get and thought killing more bosses would definitely yield even more awesome skills, so he held onto the skill points until he forgot about them. But looking at it now, the probability of monsters dropping boss skill books is really low. Some things are truly more chance-based than effort-based.

At critical moments, there’s no need to hesitate about what to learn, and without a doubt, it’s the God-level sub-skill of God-level Reconnaissance Technique, Phantom March. This skill is the high-end army version of Stealth; once learned, stealth can be reset with the Skill Reset Potion.

Invisibility and Stealth are both fairly sneaky skills. The difference is that invisibility is plane transfer, meaning the character completely departs from the current world, and all manner of heavy bombardment won’t hit them. The Blood Eagle’s "Plane Surveillance," Da Fei’s pretentious Divine Skill "Great Positioning Technique," and the branch given by Silena all fall into the realm of invisibility and are the high-end trademark of Grand Mages.

Compared to that, Stealth is much low-end, just a camouflaging skill that refracts light, and it cannot be used once entering battle state. Even so, Stealth remains a derisively effective Divine Skill. To have the Blood Eagle, who inherently possesses invisibility skills, learn Phantom March is to double the insurance with a high and low-end mix.

After all, when a God-level Boss first sees through plane transfer, the second look might have eye fatigue, unable to immediately spot the Blood Eagle in Stealth State in the otherworld, and the Blood Eagle relies on its high-speed maneuver to seize the moment.

And since Stealth has been learned, further enhancing its effect with sentinel skills "Stealth Master" and "Conceal Breath" were learned as well.

After all, growing to this point, Da Fei has never actually relied on the Blood Eagle in battle, always using it as recon, so why not push the recon abilities to the limit!

—— System Prompt: You have used 1 Growth Skill Point of the Blood Eagle to impart the Reconnaissance Blood Eagle God-level sub-skill "Phantom March," and since the Blood Eagle itself has God-level Reconnaissance Technique, the compatibility of learning this skill is perfect. Would you like to learn it?

Turns out there’s also talk of skill compatibility? Perfect is fine, learn it!

—— System Prompt: Your Blood Eagle has learned Phantom March...

Continue!

—— System Prompt: You have used 1 Growth Skill Point of the Blood Eagle to impart the Blood Eagle sentinel profession sub-skill "Stealth Master," and since the Blood Eagle is an important combination of the sentinel profession and also has the God-level Reconnaissance Technique Phantom March skill, the skill compatibility is extremely perfect. Would you like to learn it?

Again, it’s extremely perfect! It seems equipping the Blood Eagle with these sentinel-related skills is the correct official configuration. There’s nothing more to say; learn them all!

Finally, the long-dormant Blood Eagle transformed under Da Fei’s last-minute preparations and acquired a brand new boost! Time is pressing; the newly awakened Blood Eagle simultaneously entered Plane Surveillance and Phantom March State, once more heading nearby the boss to challenge the Divine Artifact. It’s a recon plane among fighter planes; if even this can’t do it, then just do it.

Getting closer, reaching the distance that set off the alarm earlier! The upgraded Blood Eagle with three stealth divine skills couldn’t breach the Boss’s warning line — all or nothing!

It rushed forward! No alarm!

At that moment, Da Fei’s heart contained only one word: Worth it! Now, how much further can it go? Can it achieve the objective? Every second below froze in Da Fei’s gaze!

Getting closer, closer, already able to clearly see the gauntlet on the ground from the Blood Eagle’s rushing perspective!

But then, at that very moment, what was meant to happen came — red light exploded!

—— System Prompt: Warning! Your Reconnaissance Blood Eagle is entering the warning range of a Sate elite, about to be discovered, flee immediately!

Da Fei’s heart jolted! At that instant, there was no time to think whether to continue or give up. But Da Fei’s instincts led him to continue, after all, the Blood Eagle has double insurance; even if invisibility is exposed, Phantom March can hold off, right?

This moment in time passed like lightning, and the Blood Eagle had already swooped down!

—— System Prompt: Your Reconnaissance Blood Eagle Xiaofei has picked up the Divine Artifact "Contract Bracelet"!

Picked it up! Da Fei’s breath stopped in an instant; can it escape back? And at that moment, red light exploded again!

—— System Prompt: Warning! Your Reconnaissance Blood Eagle is about to enter battle, flee now!

It’s about to enter battle! No chance to escape!

Quick thinking, in the blink of uncertainty, Da Fei made a bold and decisive action — Dark Spirit Technique, activate!

In that instant, the dark clouds surrounding the sky and forest whirled in like a vortex into the necklace in front of Da Fei, the sudden anomaly indeed instantly attracted the attention of the Boss, and then, the next moment, the red dots on Da Fei’s radar surged to gather like ants!

Damn!

But, precisely Da Fei’s self-detonation bought the Blood Eagle infinitely precious time, or perhaps the Boss is simply ignoring the small fry now, anyhow, the Blood Eagle lifted its head, breezing out of the Boss’s warning line. At that instant, Da Fei was drenched in sweat!

Since the Blood Eagle has escaped danger, the next step is for Da Fei to find a way to evade. Da Fei immediately shuts down Dark Spirit Technique, enters Stealth State, while the Spiderman Artifact sprays again transferring him to another tree. Now Da Fei’s task is to evade the Bomber swarm heading from the Boss and seize the chance to reunite with the Blood Eagle.

Victory always favors those prepared, time took Da Fei’s side again! When the Blood Eagle flew back, Da Fei immediately removed the artifact bracelet, simultaneously swapping to the Ann Su Totem. Unchecked the bracelet’s attributes; the Blood Eagle carried the Ann Su Totem rocketed to the top level of Tree Root Space!

The first step accomplished!

Yet Da Fei had no time to rejoice, for Da Fei’s earlier exposure had trapped him amid heavy forces, evading one out of fifteen dangers was impossible! Without any distraction for the enemy, exposure is inevitable, if Da Fei falls, the Blood Eagle’s escape is meaningless.

Then there’s only one way; summon from Angel Space two Contract Angels, Anvil and Nerxia. They have the ability for Independent Expedition and can distract the enemy, but this also means they face grave danger likely to fall. Though Contract Angels can’t truly die, dying once still influences future growth, Da Fei’s heart felt conflicted.

But there’s no choice, as a leader, for the greater good one must be ruthless! Just as Da Fei prepared to dispatch the Contract Angels, Da Fei suddenly noticed in the Blood Eagle’s skill bar appeared two skills glowing dark: "Dark Spirit Technique" and "Ann Su Resurrection"!

Da Fei’s eyes twitched in astonishment, the Blood Eagle can use artifacts now! Damn, this sacrifice was worth it, this is truly a royal visit!

Then nothing more to say, this time let the Blood Eagle cover Da Fei! Dark Spirit Technique, activate again! (To be continued.
