Chapter 1: Black Ship Sculpture

  Chapter 1 Black Ship Sculpture

  Intense pain, as if the teeth of a saw were cutting every nerve in his body.

  Leo's consciousness woke up from the chaotic mud. Before he opened his eyes, his ears were filled with noise.

  "Kill him! Kill him!"

  "Open your eyes, newcomer, this is your token of joining the Blood Shark!"

  "If you don't kill him, you'll go to the sea to feed the black shark! Hehe, I'm looking forward to that scene."

  Shouting, threatening, gloating... mixed with a faint pleading.

  "Please... please... spare me..."

  "Killing me... will not benefit you... it will only bring endless pursuit..."

  "As long as you spare me... I swear by Augustus... I will give you a generous reward..."

  Leo opened his eyes with difficulty, and a young man's face covered with blood and tears appeared in his blurred vision. The

  young man's clothes were covered with black dirt, footprints and blood stains. The originally luxurious clothes were full of holes, and the hideous bloodstains could be seen inside.

  At this moment, Leo was holding a brass flintlock in his hand, with the muzzle pointed at the young man's forehead.

  Just pull the trigger lightly, and a fresh life will disappear before his eyes.

  The scene in front of him stunned Leo.

  Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

  The three classic questions of life flashed through his mind.

  However, before Leo could come to his senses, his finger pulled the trigger uncontrollably.

  "Bang!"

  The choking smell of gunpowder rushed into Leo's nose, and a deep blood hole appeared on the young man's forehead, and the pleading on his face also stopped at this moment.

  The resentful look before death was deeply engraved in Leo's mind.

  "Good! Well done!"

  "Boy, if you want to be a pirate and a member of the [Blood Shark], you've just started!"

  "What a pity, I'm looking forward to the scene of the black shark hunting, tsk."

  The noisy voice filled his ears, but Leo couldn't hear it at all at this moment.

  His hand holding the flintlock was shaking.

  This was his first time killing someone, even if it was not his subjective will.

  Leo was sure that he was not dreaming at the moment.

  The delicate texture and touch of the fingertips touching the trigger of the flintlock, the bloody smell that filled his nose and made him want to vomit, the wet and salty sea breeze... everything was not what a dream could present.

  Leo's blurred vision gradually became condensed. At the same time, a series of strange gray fonts appeared next to the young man's body.

  [Baron's body: A baron of the Violet Family of the Kingdom of Augustus. He died on the pirate ship [Blood Shark] from a flintlock headshot. The brass bullet remaining in his forehead was entangled with a spirit that did not belong to you. Under the influence of the [Golden Rule], any "sea villain" who attacked and killed nobles will be marked and attracted the purge of the Royal Navy. - Please note that you have been marked! ]

  [The bloody mark will last for one week and will be automatically removed after that! ]

  [The spirit has established a deep connection with you... absorbing... absorbing completed! ]

  What is this?

  The gray font that appeared in front of him stunned Leo.

  Augustus Dynasty... Spirituality... [Golden Rule]... And, Bloody Mark!

  At the same time, he felt his consciousness throb, and his sight suddenly collapsed and shrank, concentrating on a miniature, broken, black boat-shaped statue deep inside his body.   

  The next moment.

  A panel with the same gray color but with a border full of complex and gorgeous patterns and an epic and heavy feeling, jumped out in front of Leo.

  ————

  [Nameless Ship Sculpture]

  [Level]: Damaged (Repair Degree 1%)-Absorbing the essence of spirituality can slowly restore and improve.

  [Function]: Attachment lv.1, Shelter lv.1, Travel lv.1

  ————

  [Attachment lv.1]: Select an unowned object as a ship carrier. After attachment, you can expand the specific navigation attribute panel. The carrier can only be replaced once a day. (The current skill level can only be attached to objects with a volume of no more than 100 cubic meters)

  [Shelter lv.1]: Open a secondary barrier that lasts for one minute, and the remaining number of uses is 1/1. (After use, it needs to be charged for 24 hours before it can be used again)

  [Travel lv.1]: It cannot be activated, and needs to be [Attached] to be viewed after owning your own ship.

  ————

  Looking at the broken black ship sculpture deep in his consciousness, Leo was completely stunned.

  This thing, he is not unfamiliar.

  Not long ago, he used this "bug equipment" he made to kill a lot of people in an unknown sailing game.

  He had used the two abilities [Attachment] and [Shelter] in the game, but he had never seen the third ability [Travel]. Just

  when he was driving a huge ship the size of a small island, ready to ravage other poor players, his eyes went black. When he opened his eyes again, he saw the scene just now.

  "Hey, kid, bring your "trophy" and follow me to feed the sharks. This is a ritual that every newcomer must go through."

  A rough voice broke into Leo's ears, and a big-shouldered and thick-waisted pirate who looked extremely strong among the pirates spoke.

  Trophy?

  Combined with "feeding sharks", Leo quickly reacted and knew that the "trophy" the bearded pirate was talking about was the noble young man who had just died in his hands.

  However, before he could react.

  "Boom!"

  A violent explosion, accompanied by the exploding flames and the disintegrating hull, and even the bearded pirate's only upper half of his body, was clearly reflected in Leo's sight.

  The terrifying shock wave swept the entire [Blood Shark] in an instant.

  From a distance, the [Blood Shark] sailing on the sea was like a pitiful toy. In an instant, it was shattered and destroyed in the raging sea of ​​fire.

  The huge hull gradually sank, and all the wailing gradually disappeared in the process.

  A white seagull several miles away from the [Blood Shark] took in everything. It pierced straight into the waves, allowing the sea water to invade its body. Its body gradually turned into heavy stones and fell into the endless deep sea.

  Everything will be hard to find with this big explosion.

  However, no one could have imagined that on the [Blood Shark] that was gradually sinking into the abyss, a figure protected by a pale white spherical light shield was still intact.

  The turbulent seawater was blocked by the "Secondary Shield". The charred hulls and unknown human body parts were floating around. Leo's face turned pale. If it weren't for the critical moment, he would have activated the [Shelter lv.1] of the [Nameless Ship Sculpture], and he would have been buried in this sudden explosion like other pirates.

  But at this moment, the crisis has not been resolved.

  The "Secondary Shield" only lasts for one minute, but the moment it disappears, Leo will be in the sea.

  There is no place to rest in the vast ocean. Even the most powerful swimmers will eventually drown.

  One minute passed quickly. When the "Secondary Shield" disappeared, Leo didn't hesitate at all. He reached out and grabbed a piece of the edge of the charred hull, and silently said in his heart:

  "Attach!"

  (End of this chapter)

Chapter 2 Bloody Son

  Chapter 2 Bloody Son

  "Splash..."

  The waves kept hitting, splashing white foam.

  A sailing raft with a total length of only more than three meters and a very primitive and simple structure was floating on the sea.

  The raft was black as a whole, and the dark lines left by the burning wood on the raft could be seen. The bulging canvas was driven by the sea breeze and slowly moved forward.

  Under the mast of the raft, a young man who was soaked was panting rapidly. It took a long time for him to calm down.

  Looking up at the blue sky, Leo took a deep breath with a sense of surviving a disaster.

  After a few seconds, he lowered his head and looked at the raft under him, with a complicated expression.

  The rippling sea water reflected a young man whose appearance was blurred and distorted but barely visible. He

  had medium-short light golden hair, clear and deep facial features, and although he looked immature because of his younger age, he was also very handsome.

  He belonged to different categories of handsomeness from before.

  One was the beauty of the East, and the other was the beauty of the West.

  Until this moment, Leo, who was able to calm down, finally confirmed that he had traveled through time, from a social animal who graduated from Blue Star Huaguo University several years ago, to a young man named "Ryan Rayland".

  ——

  [Small canvas raft]: 3.3 meters long, 1.8 meters wide, 4 knots downwind speed, 1 knot against wind speed.

  [Captain]: Leo (Ryan Rayland)

  [Age]: 18

  [Bloodline]: Descendant of the Vikings (The bloodline of the Vikings gives you a stronger physique and a naturally strong water ability than ordinary people.)

  [Title]: Bloody Son (People who violate the [Golden Rule] and are marked with blood, while attracting the pursuit of the Royal Navy, are also more likely to be favored by a certain group.)

  [Innate Ability]: Soul of the Other World (You have a higher resistance to the mysterious side, perhaps this is related to your "rich experience" in the other world.)

  [Spirituality]: 0

  [Path Occupation]: None

  [Professional Skills]: None

  [Learning Skills]: Storm Swordsmanship (Introduction), Navigation (Introduction), Strange Items (Introduction)

  ——This

  is a more detailed panel of the [Nameless Ship Sculpture] after it has "attached".

  Path occupation, innate ability, professional skills... and other descriptions made Leo, no, to be precise, Ryan realize that he might have come to a world full of fantasy.

  Although he did not understand the specific meaning of these descriptions.

  The [Learning Skills] displayed on the panel are the skills that the original "Ryan Rayland" once mastered. At this moment, they are like scattered memory fragments, integrated into his consciousness and turned into his instinct.

  This is a very wonderful feeling.

  Although he has never touched it before, he feels extremely familiar and at ease.

  That is to say, there is no long sword at hand now, otherwise Ryan will definitely try his hand.

  In addition to joy, Ryan can't help but feel regretful-these memory fragments are too scattered. Except for the real name and three very deep "abilities", there is nothing else left.

  Even the origin of the original body and why he was stranded on the [Blood Shark], he has no memory at all.

  Looking at the endless sea, Ryan sighed: "This is really the beginning of hell..."

  At this moment, he calmed down and finally had the leisure to analyze what happened to "Ryan Rayland".   

  For some reason, Ryan Rayland was captured by the pirates of the Blood Shark and was threatened to shoot a baron of the Violet Family of the Augustus Dynasty in order to become a member of the Blood Shark.

  In the process, Ryan Rayland died for some unknown reason, and Leo traveled through at this time. He had no intention of shooting, but under the coercive effect of an inexplicable spiritual force, he pulled the trigger of the flintlock and killed the baron, thus being "marked" by the Golden Rule.

  After all this was over, a sudden explosion set everything on fire.

  It is not difficult to see that this is a carefully planned "bureau", and its main purpose is most likely to eliminate the baron of the Violet Family.

  Ryan Rayland and all the pirates on the Blood Shark were all affected.

  The Golden Rule, the bloody mark... made the mastermind who wanted to eliminate the baron dare not come forward in person, and could only achieve his goal by this "twistful" means.

  Or, is Ryan Leland also the target that the mastermind wants to eliminate?

  There is too little known information for Ryan to make an accurate inference, but just these are enough to make him clearly aware of his current crisis.

  If the mastermind knows that Ryan is still alive, how will he react? There is no doubt that he will never let Ryan, the only survivor, go. The mastermind

  can plan this "conspiracy", can quietly detonate the [Blood Shark] without any pirates noticing, and can use unknown spiritual power to force Ryan Leland to pull the trigger. There is no doubt that the mastermind has a power that Ryan cannot resist now. Fortunately

  , Ryan also has his own advantages.

  That is, he is now hidden in the dark, and the mastermind may not know that he is still alive. Even if he knows, it will take time to find him in the boundless sea, even with extraordinary power such as "spirituality".

  He must take advantage of this time to become stronger as soon as possible!

  After analyzing the threat of the mastermind, Ryan looked at the sea in front of him.

  Now, the most serious problem facing him is not the threat from the mastermind, but how to survive in this vast ocean without fresh water and food.

  Ryan looked at the raft with a melancholy look.

  The wreckage he grabbed was too small. Even if it was "attached" to the [Unknown Ship Sculpture] and transformed into a boat, it was only enough to form a small sailing raft.

  Relying on this thing to cross the sea...

  Fortunately, it is a sunny day and the waves are relatively gentle. Otherwise, I am afraid that if a slightly larger wave hits, the boat will be destroyed and people will die.

  "I hope I can survive today." Ryan sighed.

  [Attachment] can only change the carrier once a day. In the vast ocean, looking around, there is nothing but sea water. In this case, he has no choice but to hope that before he can't hold on, he can be lucky enough to encounter a deserted island or other ships.

  With nothing to do, Ryan set his sights on the third function of the [Unknown Ship Sculpture] - [Travel].

  Previously, this function could only be viewed after using [Attach] and having your own boat.

  But now...

  He glanced at the raft under his feet... Although it was simple and primitive, it could still be considered a boat, right?

  Ryan thought uncertainly.

  He opened the panel and focused his attention on [Travel]. This time, a new description appeared.

  [Travel lv.1]: Swim in the sea of ​​spirituality, anchor coordinates, and travel through various scenes. This can only be done once a day.

  (End of this chapter)

Chapter 3 First Tour

  Chapter 3 First Tour

  "What does this mean?"

  Ryan was stunned for a moment when he saw the introduction of [Travel] on the panel in front of him, and then his eyes were full of interest.

  The sea of ​​spirits, coordinates and so on... It sounds very exciting!

  At present, the raft was sailing with the wind, and Ryan, who had nothing to do, immediately decided to go on a [Travel].

  With curiosity and expectation, he tapped on [Travel] with his mind.

  The next moment, Ryan's vision changed dramatically.

  He first blacked out, and then he felt his body began to rise rapidly.

  After an unknown amount of time, Ryan felt his rising body pause.

  He slowly opened his eyes and looked around. The scene in his eyes shocked him.

  At this moment, he was in the vast starry sky, and under him was a turbulent "ocean" composed of countless brilliant light spots.

  ——The sea of ​​spirits.

  Although he had never seen it before, when he looked at it, this title automatically emerged in Ryan's mind.

  It has no known origin or destination. It is boundless and has no end. Compared with it, individual creatures are even smaller than mayflies.

  Ryan's body began to fall. At the same time, gray dots of light gathered in front of him. Soon, they condensed into the shape of a "sail raft" and landed on the spiritual sea, just catching Ryan. The

  tiny raft was drifting with difficulty in the vast spiritual sea. Time seemed to have lost its scale at this moment. It might be a few days, or it might be a few seconds. Ryan could not control the raft and could only watch it crash into a huge, bubble-shaped luminous body. Suddenly, the light

  in front of him became bright.

  When his vision returned to normal, Ryan found himself on a huge island.

  The gray raft was stranded on the beach, presenting a semi-illusory state. What surprised Ryan was that everything on the island was surprisingly large. The

  blue-black thing in the distance that was almost half a person's height and moving horizontally, was it a crab?

  The towering coconut tree, I'm afraid it was hundreds of meters long? The coconuts on it are bigger than people!

  At this moment, Ryan felt as if he was a little man who came to the kingdom of giants.

  "So, what should I do next?"

  Ryan pondered.

  Suddenly, some information appeared in Ryan's mind, telling him some basic information: he came here not as the real body, but as a projection of consciousness. Although his body is exactly the same as the real body, it is essentially a clone created by the [Nameless Ship Sculpture] using a special method, referred to as the "traveling clone".

  If the traveling clone dies here, this [travel] will end directly, and the real body will only be mentally weak, but will not be in danger of life. Wait until the next day, and you can enter this place again.

  Yes, continue to enter this place.

  The location of the [travel] will not be changed before the [anchor point] is found.

  As for what the so-called [anchor point] is? Maybe it is some kind of treasure, or maybe it is a powerful monster... There are too many possibilities, but no matter what it is, it will show a "specialness" that is different from other things. As for what are

  the benefits of [traveling]?

  First of all, the [anchor point] itself is a spiritual object that is extremely refined. If you find it and absorb it, the rank of the [nameless ship sculpture] can be restored or even upgraded. At present, the [nameless ship sculpture] is in a "damaged state" and the repair rate is only a pitiful 1%.

  Secondly, under the influence of the "anchor point", things within a certain range around it will change and become some extremely precious plants, animals, etc.

  Finally, and most importantly, when killing spiritual creatures in the travel area, the "level" of the travel clone can be upgraded.

  Yes, level, a very game-like setting.

  The initial level of the travel clone is level 0. After killing spiritual creatures, the level can be upgraded and the strength can be enhanced.   

  If so, it's nothing. The most important thing is that the level increase of the travel clone will be fed back to the main body!

  In other words, if the level of the travel clone can be quickly improved, the strength of the main body will also advance by leaps and bounds.

  Thinking of this, Ryan was excited.

  This is the best news he has heard since he traveled through time.

  ——

  [Level]: 0

  [Spiritual Value]: 0

  ——

  The panel of the travel clone is very simple. After thinking for a while, Ryan set his sights on the half-human-high blue-black crab on the beach.

  There is no way. On such a large beach, he has only seen this kind of living creature so far.

  Without hesitation, Ryan immediately took action.

  Of course, it is impossible to deal with such a big guy with bare hands. The [Travel] function is not so crazy.

  Ryan looked at his feet, where there were the initial equipment provided by [Unknown Ship Sculpture] - long sword, round wooden shield and leather armor.

  [Long sword]: The lowest-level standard equipment that can only be used in the "Travel Land". After being damaged, it can be exchanged at [Small Sail Raft] by spending "Spiritual Value". After the level of [Nameless Ship Sculpture] is upgraded, new functions such as strengthening and qualitative change can be unlocked.

  The introductions of the round wooden shield and leather armor are similar. Ryan put on the leather armor, holding the shield in his left hand and the sword in his right hand.

  In his past and present lives, this was his first time using cold weapons, but under the effect of "Storm Swordsmanship (Introduction)", after experiencing the initial awkwardness, he soon felt extremely familiar.

  Ryan stepped out of the raft.

  The moment his body left the gray and semi-illusory raft, a sense of reality came towards him.

  The moist sea breeze and the touch of his shoes sinking into the soft sand gave Ryan a strong sense of freshness.

  And his body also changed from the gray and semi-illusory form of the raft to the real color.

  "This feeling..."

  Ryan's eyes showed strange colors. After a few seconds, he slowed down and approached the blue-black crab in the distance, who was doing something on the beach.

  The raft was about a hundred meters away from the blue-black crab.

  In order to stay hidden, Ryan tried to stick to the coconut tree and move forward under its shadow.

  Ryan stopped when the two sides were about sixty meters apart.

  From here to the blue-black crab, there are no coconut trees to serve as a cover, and it is easy to be discovered on the empty beach.

  After standing in the shadows and waiting for a long time, Ryan became a little anxious when he saw the blue-black crab with its back to him and its two huge claws gently waving. He didn't know what it was doing but had no intention of moving.

  The main body was still floating on the sea, and no one could tell what would happen in the sea. After all, the raft was not as good as a real ship and its ability to withstand wind and waves was too weak. It was his

  first [travel], and he didn't know the time difference between the two sides, so for the sake of caution, he had to gain something as soon as possible and return.

  Thinking of this, Ryan took a deep breath and was not prepared to wait any longer. With

  his legs slightly bent and his muscles swelled, Ryan sprinted towards the blue-black crab after a short period of accumulation of strength.

  (End of this chapter)

Chapter 4 Hunter

  Chapter 4 Hunter

  A normal man needs 7 to 9 seconds to run 60 meters. A man with better physical fitness can run in 7.5 seconds, but generally speaking, the difference is not too big.

  But perhaps because of the influence of his bloodline [Descendant of the Vikings], he feels that his speed is much faster than in his previous life, and he can run 60 meters in about 7 seconds.

  You know, the standard score of a Chinese national first-class athlete in running 60 meters is only 6.7 seconds!

  Ryan's speed is already very fast!

  Sprinting at full speed, the distance between the two sides is closing at a very fast speed, but the vibration of the ground caused by running soon alarmed the blue-black crab.

  I saw one of its huge claws inserted into the sand, and the four legs on the other side moved quickly, turning the body around in this way, and Ryan was still ten meters away from it at this moment.

  Ryan was not discouraged by the failure of the sneak attack. It was better to say that this was within his expectations.

  His eyes were firm, without the slightest intention of retreating - since the sneak attack failed, he would just attack directly.

  As a loyal player of high-difficulty action games, he is not afraid of the challenges in the "game".

  At the same time, when he was within ten meters, Ryan saw several lines of gray fonts next to the blue-black crab.

  [Beach Crab: A crustacean that has become huge under the influence of spiritual power, with a very hard shell. The connection between the fifth and sixth abdominal segments in its triangular umbilical region is lighter in color, as if it had been attacked and broken not long ago, and its defense is relatively weak. ] The

  gray font prompt made Ryan's eyes light up, and his eyes fell on the umbilical region of the beach crab, and he found that there was indeed a part about ten centimeters long, which was very light in color compared to the surrounding area.

  The distance between the two sides was closing rapidly.

  Facing the enemy that suddenly appeared, the blue-black crab moved forward quickly with its body horizontally, and its claws, which were larger than a human head, smashed down fiercely.

  From Ryan's perspective, the claws that the beach crab smashed down were like a huge, rapidly enlarged iron hammer, which made people's scalps numb. It was hard to imagine how miserable it would be if a flesh and blood body was hit by such a claw.

  Ryan did not choose to resist. Before the claws came to him, he took a nimble side step and avoided the claws.

  The whistling wind blew up his short hair. At such a close distance, he could even clearly see the dense black protrusions on the claws.

  At this moment, Ryan's pupils shrank slightly, and he saw the beach crab's other claws coming in angrily and horizontally. It was very fast, and with the previous attack blocking his vision, it was too late for him to dodge.

  At the critical moment, he had a sudden inspiration, and the round wooden shield in his left hand was slightly tilted in front of him.

  "Bang--"

  A low sound rang out, and Ryan's body shook. Even if he used the "unloading and blocking" technique, the round wooden shield in his hand almost slipped out of his hand.

  The beach crab's strength exceeded his by more than an order of magnitude!

  After a smash and a horizontal clamp, the beach crab seemed to be a little tired, and stopped where it was, without continuing to attack.

  And how could Ryan let go of such a precious opportunity?

  Enduring the numbness on the left side of his body, he focused his eyes and started with the "Bull Style", one of the four major sword stances. He stepped forward and stabbed, and the tip of the sword accurately hit the lighter "weak part" of the belly button of the beach crab.

  With a "pop", the fragile shell was instantly broken, and the long sword almost half pierced into it, and a blue translucent liquid spurted out. It was the blood of the beach crab.

  The internal organs were injured, and the beach crab fell into madness. Its shell was covered with light red veins. The whole crab looked like it was cooked, and the fluorescent liquid could be seen flowing at high speed in the red veins.

  The claws were waving, breaking through the air with a loud bang, and the speed was extremely fast.

  All the changes happened in an instant. Ryan only had time to put the round wooden shield in front of him. The next second, he was hit hard. The round wooden shield in his hand could not withstand the huge force and fell on his leather breastplate.

  "Bang!"

  Ryan flew backwards and fell on the sand three meters away.

  The moment he landed, he saw the shadow coming towards him from the corner of his eye. He endured the severe pain and rolled over.

  "Boom!"

  The claws covered with red veins were deeply inserted into the sand. Taking this opportunity, Ryan ran away. At

  this moment, he was seriously injured and had no qualifications to fight with the "violent" beach crab.

  But he wanted to run, and the beach crab that pulled the claws out of the sand did not want to let him go so easily.

  The violent beach crab not only increased its strength, but also its speed. Its straight-line speed was even faster than Ryan's. He

  noticed from the corner of his eye that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. Ryan estimated in his heart that if he continued like this, he would be caught up before he returned to the raft.

  Thinking of this, Ryan's eyes fell on the coconut tree not far in front of him. He gritted his teeth, took two steps forward in three steps, and climbed up the coconut tree directly. When the momentum brought by the forward rush disappeared, he stabbed the long sword in his hand into the coconut tree as a hanging point, and then continued to climb with the help of the force.

  The surface of the coconut tree is rough, and there are raised rings at intervals. With the help of the long sword, it is not difficult to climb.

  "Bang!"

  Under the big coconut tree, the beach crab angrily hit the tree trunk with its claws, but unfortunately, it was completely useless.

  The diameter of the 100-meter-high coconut tree reached a terrifying three meters. Such a thick trunk cannot be broken by brute force at all. At least, the beach crab's strength is far from enough.

  Therefore, watching Ryan climb up the tree, it could only be furious under the tree.

  But even so, the beach crab still refused to leave. It stayed under the coconut tree, and the red veins on its shell gradually faded. It seemed to be ready to wait for Ryan to fall down due to exhaustion, and then kill him! At a

  height of nearly ten meters, Ryan panted, his eyes fell on the belly button of the beach crab, where the wound pierced by the long sword had not healed yet, and blue blood kept gushing out.

  If it continues like this, the beach crab will inevitably become weak due to excessive blood loss.

  But the problem is that he was not in a much better situation hanging on the coconut tree.

  As the adrenaline faded, he could feel the pain sweeping over his body. Even if he gritted his teeth and held on, hanging on the tree would consume his physical strength. Ryan doubted that he would lose his physical strength and fall down before the beach crab lost too much blood.

  Should he gamble?

  Would he or the beach crab collapse first?

  Ryan gritted his teeth.

  He didn't like the feeling that his fate was not under his control, but now he had no other choice...

  If it really didn't work, this trip would end in failure.

  Ryan sighed in his heart.

  With this experience, he will be more calm next time he faces a beach crab...

  Time passed by.

  Unconsciously, the sky was filled with dark clouds.

  This is a sign of a heavy rain.

  "Whoosh..."

  The sea breeze began to get stronger, and a large coconut on a nearby coconut tree loosened and fell, hitting the ground with a "bang", scaring the beach crab.

  It was almost, and this large coconut with a diameter of nearly half a meter would hit it directly.

  The beach crab seemed very anxious, circling the coconut tree for several circles until another large coconut fell. Realizing the danger, it chose to leave unwillingly.

  "Hua La La..."

  The weather on this deserted island is unpredictable. It was sunny a few minutes ago, and then, after a while, bean-sized raindrops began to fall.

  Looking at the figure of the beach crab leaving, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief and slid down the tree carefully. The rough bark rubbed his palms and hurt.

  The rain was getting heavier.

  Ryan squinted his eyes and watched the beach crab going away in the rain.

  Then, he lowered his head, looked at the blue bloodstains left on the ground, clenched the long sword in his hand, and quietly began to follow like a silent hunter.

  Ryan's situation was not good, but the beach crab was not much better.

  This was a hunt.

  Who is the hunter and who is the prey is still unknown before the dust settles.

  Guided by the blue bloodstains, Ryan soon came to the vicinity of a pile of rocks, and the bloodstains disappeared in front of the pile of rocks. A hole taller than a person, obviously, this is the cave of the beach crab.

  Standing at the edge of the cave, Ryan took a deep breath, and then walked in carefully along the wall of the cave.

  The light in the cave was dim, and it was only about a dozen steps away, and then it reached the end. What

  appeared in front of Ryan was a spacious cave, and the light projected from the cracks in the top stone brought a faint light.

  Ryan saw the beach crab in the corner of the cave at the first time.

  Its two claws stuffed some unknown algae into its mouth, and the wound on its belly button was still bleeding at this moment, but compared to the beginning, the speed was much slower.

  Obviously, after a while, the wound will heal.

  After eating for a while, the beach crab found a relatively humid place, looked around vigilantly, and prepared to rest after confirming that it was safe.

  Seeing this, Ryan suppressed his emotions, hid in the corner, and waited quietly.

  After a while, the bulging eyes of the beach crab gradually shrank back.

  This is a symbol of the crab's sleep.

  It's time!   

  Ryan held his breath, holding a long sword, and approached slowly.

  One step, two steps...

  Perhaps because of the injury and fatigue, the beach crab slept very deeply, and did not react until Ryan came to it.

  And because it was lying prone, the injured part of the belly button of the beach crab was covered, and Ryan could not reach it.

  Seeing this, Ryan's eyes became fierce, and the long sword in his hand stabbed out mercilessly, piercing the retracted eye of the beach crab.

  "Puchi!"

  The sound of the lens being pierced rang out, and the sleeping beach crab woke up under the stimulation of severe pain, and its claws waved instinctively. Ryan, who had been prepared, stepped back and avoided the sweep of the claws, and then turned around and ran without hesitation. When

  enemies meet, they are particularly jealous.

  The beach crab with only one eye left chased Ryan wildly.

  The two of them, one fleeing and the other chasing, soon ran out of the cave and came to the beach under the heavy rain.

  Ryan kept an eye on the beach crab behind him. Because it had not entered the "violent state" with red veins all over its body, and because it was injured, the beach crab was not fast, and was basically on par with him.

  "Boom..."

  Electric snakes danced in the dark clouds.

  After chasing for hundreds of meters, the beach crab's speed gradually slowed down.

  Ryan noticed that the wound on its belly button, which had almost healed, reopened under the violent movement,

  and blue blood flowed out again. The large amount of blood loss caused the beach crab's condition to fall to the lowest point in history.

  After chasing for more than ten meters, the beach crab stopped and began to turn around.

  It also realized that if it continued to chase, it would probably die first.

  How could Ryan let go of the prey in hand?

  He turned around and began to chase the beach crab.

  At this moment, the identities of hunter and prey were completely reversed.

  Ryan did not approach rashly, but kept a distance of twenty meters from the beach crab.

  Once the beach crab tried to turn around and chase, he would run away, and when the beach crab ran away, he would chase it.

  The beach crab, which was losing more and more blood and in a worse condition, was furious, but could do nothing about it.   Finally

  , after running 300 meters, the beach crab fell powerlessly on the beach.

  Ryan used the stones he picked up along the way and threw them at the fallen beach crab.   The sound of breaking air caused the beach crab to react, and its claws rose up and flicked the stone away.   This action also exhausted its last strength.   Facing the stones thrown later, it no longer had the strength to resist.   Ryan walked forward, stabbed the beach crab's other eye with a long sword, and stirred it vigorously for a few times.   The beach crab's body trembled a few times, and then it fell silent.   A few seconds later, a gray font prompt popped up in front of Ryan's eyes.   ——   [Level]: 1 (7%)   [Spiritual Value]: 100   ——The   increase in level made Ryan feel comfortable as if he was immersed in warmth, and even the physical and mental fatigue was relieved a little.   At the same time, Ryan also felt that his body had become stronger.   He couldn't be sure how much stronger he had become because he hadn't taken any tests.   Lying on the ground, letting the rain drip down his cheeks, Ryan laughed out loud.   "Haha...hahahaha..."   "It's really...refreshing!"   Perhaps, this is the life he really longs for in his heart.   "Sasa..."   Tiny voices rang out from all directions, and Ryan's face froze as he saw a beach crab appearing in front, behind, left and right. He couldn't laugh anymore.   ...   On the vast sea, a sailing bamboo raft drifted with the waves.   Ryan opened his eyes and covered his forehead uncomfortably.   "Damn it!"   He couldn't help but curse.   In the travel land, although his level was raised to level 1 after killing the beach crab, he was in poor condition and couldn't resist for long in the face of the siege of four beach crabs that appeared later. He was clamped by the claws of one of the beach crabs, and his clone died tragically.   The price of returning from death is that his spirit fell into a weak state and his head was dizzy.   After a long time, Ryan, who felt that his spirit had recovered a little, rubbed his forehead.   Feeling his body become stronger, he showed a satisfied smile.   It was worth his efforts to hunt beach crabs in the places he traveled.   After being happy, Ryan couldn't help but sigh.   Compared with the extent of the clone's strengthening, the main body seemed to have only one-fifth of the effect.   "It's a good thing if there is an improvement."   He could only comfort himself in this way.   Glancing at the attribute panel, Ryan was surprised to find that the value of his [Spirituality] column had changed from the original "0" to "0.1".   "[Spirituality], what does it mean?" He pondered.   Shaking his head, Ryan lay on his back on the raft.   His spirit was still very weak and he needed to rest.   When he woke up, several hours had passed.   Ryan sat on the raft bored, staring blankly at the sea.   Reaching out his hand, feeling the more moist water vapor when the sea breeze passed through his fingertips, his face looked a little ugly.   [Navigation (Introduction)] This skill told him that it would rain in a while.   This was undoubtedly very bad news for him.   In the wind and rain, the raft under him had a high probability of capsizing.   As time passed, the clear sky gradually became gloomy.   ...   A three-masted sailing ship was sailing on the sea, and even in the heavy rain, its hull was still stable.   At the bow, two slender figures stood proudly, and on the deck behind them, dozens of pirates knelt on the ground, lowering their heads, not daring to look at the two people, with fear in their eyes.

  "Cecilia, what do you think we should do with these guys? Should we chop them up and feed them to the sharks, or just kill them?"

  The voice was clear and moving, but the content of the words made the pirates on the deck tremble all over.

  The person being questioned was a girl wearing a light chain mail shirt, outlining the curves of a female leopard's body, and a rapier on her waist.

  Just as the girl was about to answer, suddenly, her eyes moved and she looked somewhere in the southeast direction.

  "It seems like someone is calling for help?"

Chapter 5 [Black Rose]

  Chapter 5 [Black Rose]

  With the help of two men dressed as pirates, Ryan followed a thick hemp rope and climbed onto the deck with difficulty. As soon as he got on the boat, he couldn't help vomiting a few mouthfuls of seawater.

  The weather at sea is really unpredictable. It was cloudless a few minutes ago, and it was pouring rain soon.

  The surging waves were not something his small canvas raft could withstand.

  He stumbled in the waves and was eventually swept into the waves.

  Fortunately, [Descendant of the Vikings] gave him extremely strong water skills, and even more fortunately, in the moment of despair, a three-masted sailing ship appeared in the distance of his vision.

  ...

  After spitting out the seawater in his mouth, Ryan, whose breathing calmed down, raised his head and looked around.

  The scene in his eyes made him slightly stunned.

  In the pouring rain, dozens of pirates knelt on the deck, and even the two pirates who had just pulled him up with a hemp rope knelt back on the deck at this moment.

  These guys, who were strong and should have been extremely vicious, now let the rain wash over them, trembling and cowering in fear, their eyes full of fear, like poor lambs.

  And the direction they were kneeling in was behind him...

  "Tell me, what's your name?"

  A light voice came from behind Ryan.

  It can be heard that the owner of the voice has tried very hard to make a serious, low, and majestic voice, but unfortunately, her voice is too crisp and her tone is too soft, so even if she tries very hard, it still gives people a childish feeling.

  Ryan turned his head and saw the owner of the voice, and his eyes suddenly showed surprise.

  She was wearing a big, fluffy and soft white hat, and the raised top of the hat seemed to be overwhelmed and tilted backwards, and the top and the brim of the hat were separated by a circle of beautiful light blue ruffles, which was no different from a witch's hat in terms of image.

  Under the brim of the hat was a face that was so delicate that it looked like a doll.

  She looked young, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with extremely delicate skin, like condensed jade, dazzling white skin, which formed a sharp contrast with the rough and dark skin of the surrounding pirates.

  The girl was wearing a white dress, with wide sleeves and collar in dark blue. The interweaving of white and blue, plus the tassel-like patterns under the girl's deep ice-blue eyes, presented a strong sense of mystery. The figure

  standing next to the ice-blue girl was also eye-catching.

  She was wearing a women's light chainmail shirt, with a leopard-like agile and explosive figure. Her style was completely different from that of the ice-blue girl. She stood there like a lonely and cold knight standing next to the queen. Although her body was not large, she gave people a feeling of indestructibility - before she fell, no one could step into the three-step range of the person she was protecting.

  Ryan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Are you the captain of this ship? Thank you very much for your rescue."

  "My name is Ryan Soros."

  This was made up by him casually. The name was not changed, but the surname was changed. According to the memories of the original body, the problem of duplicate names in the Kingdom of Augustus is very serious, and there are many people named "Lian".

  As Ryan spoke, he turned his right hand 360 degrees, and at the same time, the toe of his right foot stepped on the ground next to his left foot. After turning his right hand, he turned it again, and kept his body tilted forward 30 to 40 degrees, and bowed gracefully.

  This is an instinct inherited from this body. Because the same action has been performed too many times, it has been deeply engraved in the bones.

  "Lian Thoros?" The ice-blue girl with a floppy witch hat frowned slightly: "You are not a pirate, but there are calluses on the base of your thumb from holding a sword for many years... There is no noble surname "Thoros" in the kingdom."

  "..." Ryan's heart sank.   

  The other party actually knew Wang Guo's surname, which was beyond his expectation.

  It was not surprising that the other party could tell at a glance that he was not a pirate.

  How could pirates who were exposed to the wind and sun all year round have such clean and smooth skin as his?

  Feeling the increasingly cold gaze of the female knight next to the ice blue girl, Ryan shook his head and said bitterly: "Sorry, I did lie."

  "Because I don't know my name anymore."

  "When I woke up, I had lost my past memories, and the name Leo Soros was given to myself after I woke up."

  "Oh?" Hearing this, the ice blue girl glanced at him without comment. Just when Ryan was nervous, he heard this:

  "Forget it, since we are on the sea, it is meaningless to worry about these. Tell me, what do you know?"

  "There is no need for useless people on the ship."

  Hearing this, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "I know... a little swordsmanship, and some knowledge of navigation and strange objects."

  The three things he mentioned are the skills that are clearly marked as "entry-level" on the panel.

  "Navigational knowledge..." Hearing the key words, the ice blue girl's eyes lit up slightly: "So, can you be a navigator?"

  The navigator is a key figure in every large ship. He is responsible for the navigation of the ship, so he needs sufficient navigational knowledge to determine the position and direction of the ship. At the same time, the navigator also needs to detect weather conditions, predict currents and wind direction, so as to provide accurate navigation advice to the captain.

  All ships sailing far away need an experienced navigator.

  In fact, some captains are experienced navigators themselves, but it is obvious that the ice blue girl in front of him does not meet this condition.

  "Navigator?" Ryan was stunned for a moment when he heard the title, but then nodded: "I am very unfamiliar with this sea area, but if it is just to judge the weather, ocean currents and wind direction, I still have some confidence."

  "That's enough." The ice blue girl nodded with satisfaction: "In that case, Mr. Ryan, the [Black Rose] welcomes you to join."

  "My name is Freni, you can call me 'Captain'."

  "As for Cecilia, she is my guard."

  The knight girl on the side nodded slightly with a cold expression.

  "I'm honored." Ryan felt relieved and bowed again, knowing that he was safe for the time being. Looking at the pirates kneeling behind him, he asked curiously, "Captain, what are they doing?"

  "Them." Freni said indifferently, "Just a bunch of villains who don't deserve to die. I'm considering how to deal with them."

  "Does Mr. Ryan have any advice?"

  "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it." Ryan shook his head quickly, "Everything is up to you, Captain."

  Freni smiled slightly, "Then let them serve as sailors on the ship first. After all, a ship wants to sail far, but it can't rely on just three or two people."

  After speaking, she raised her right hand, and the white palm of her hand was filled with mysterious, deep blue energy.
