Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons
Chapter 830 - 720: The Person in the Fish Tank
"Although this ship looks quite dilapidated, with a strong smell of the sea and a foul odor."
"The materials and the magic carving on it are really worth studying and researching."
Kane observed on the enemy's battered pirate ship, looking at this ancient sailboat.
He stretched out his hand and touched the demon patterns carved on it.
These demon patterns are very well integrated with the entire ship, each one carved perfectly, and the positions are just right.
Beside him, Kreya watched Kane's leisurely behavior, wandering around the ship and gave him a pat.
"How are we going to deal with these enemies, including the pirate captain? Can we settle them first before we look at the ship? Anyway, this ship won't run away.
Everyone is still waiting for you."
Listening to Kreya's reprimand, Kane chuckled and hurriedly went to the place not far away where the pirate captain and many pirates were tied up.
Now the remaining enemies are just the dozen or so pirates in front of him, and the captain kneeling on the ground in front, tied up.
The rest of the pirates were all eliminated by Kane and others, who had been waiting when the pirates boarded their vessel.
And those guild members also took the opportunity to stretch their muscles.
Kane approached one of the pirates, who was wearing a foul-smelling leather armor.
His dry, greasy yellow-brown hair was twisted into a clump, and his tattered white undershirt was long yellowed and blackened.
When he saw Kane coming towards him, his expression appeared somewhat frightened.
He hoped not to be the first one to be dealt with, maybe he could go later, as he wanted to live a little longer.
However, Kane did not grant his wish but instead pulled out the cloth stuffed in his mouth.
The pirate revealed rotten teeth as he gasped for air, moving towards Kane and knocking his head on the ground.
"Master, spare me, please. I'm not originally a pirate. It's all our captain's fault for forcing us aboard..."
Before Kane could speak, he began to plead for his life, spilling out all kinds of words.
But as he was about to continue, Kane kicked his head, flipping the pirate onto the ground.
Looking at the fallen pirate, Kane said coldly, "Shut your mouth, answer only when I ask, or die."
With that, he released his aura.
"Yes, yes, Master, I promise not to..."
Before he could finish, Kane's cold, murderous gaze silenced him.
"Tell me about your situation."
"Situation, specifically what...?" the pirate asked, seemingly not quite understanding Kane's question.
"Ah, ah..."
Kane ignored him, kicking him directly into the sea.
Then, he approached the next pirate, pulling out the cloth from his mouth.
"You speak."
The pirate nodded frantically, starting to ramble out words regardless of accuracy.
"We are the Nine-Clawed Squid Pirate Crew, living off robbing passing ships in this area. Although the surrounding sea conditions were strange over the past year, it's none of our concern, as we are pirates and only need ships to rob."
"We've robbed fishing boats and merchant ships, rarely leaving survivors.
Lately, the surrounding sea seems to have restored some vitality, so we started moving again. For a few months, we rested on an uninhabited island living quite miserably."
"We did not intend to rob you, Master; we were being chased and had just escaped from the sea bottom when we happened upon your ship, and accidentally offended you..."
This pirate seemed scared by his companion's death earlier.
Despite not knowing if the information was useful, he poured everything out to Kane.
And watching Kane not interrupting, he spoke more eagerly for survival.
While the pirates around him stared wide-eyed, making umming, struggling sounds.
Trying to remind him about something.
These pirates mentally hoped for him to shut up soon.
Once he's finished, what can we say? Wouldn't we all die then?
Shut up, hurry!
They struggled, trying to wriggle next to him to remind him.
However, a giant lance directly slapped them aside, tossing two unlucky ones out of the ship.
No one cared for their survival.
Seeing this situation calmed the others instantly.
Although they knew survival chances were slim, they still held a glimmer of hope.
"That's all, nothing else?" Kane asked.
Upon hearing Kane's question, the pirate furrowed his brows, thought for a moment, then cautiously looked up at Kane and said, "No, that's all, Master."
"Thanks, you must be thirsty after saying so much."
Seeing Kane's suddenly calm words, the pirate seemed to relax, smiling and nodding.
"No, not thirsty, Master."
"It's fine, whether you're thirsty or not, go drink some seawater.
I'm not quite satisfied with your information."
With that, Kane kicked again.
"Ah, ah..."
His screaming figure drew an arc, falling into the sea.
Then, Kane repeated the same process with the next pirate.
"Your turn, hope what you say is useful, otherwise you'll end up like them."
Upon hearing Kane's words, this pirate stammered, his brain starting to whirl fervently.
"I, I...I know. Our captain is called Squid, he's very vicious, always ordering us to kill everyone."
"When displeased, he sometimes uses us as examples, making us praise him as brave one moment, then as unsurpassed in intelligence and courage the next."
"If we say it wrong, he'd kill us immediately."
"His strength isn't that great, relying on wicked witchcraft. This ship, the old crew says, is controlled by one of his items."
"And...and..."
At this point, the pirate was at a loss for words, seemingly unable to think of anything more to say.
Kane squinted at him, slowly asking, "That's all, nothing else?"
"No, no, I've remembered again."
"When we took this ship into the depths of the sea earlier, it seems the captain sneaked out once. When he returned, he was carrying a closed bag. I happened to be up to use the bathroom and saw it. ๐๐๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐ท๐๐ฟ๐๐ต.๐๐๐
The bag was wriggling, as if holding a living creature."
He hurriedly said.
"Hmm, hmm, hmm!" On the other side, upon hearing him describe that pirate captain's eyes went wide, full of murderous intent.
"It's not my fault, captain. If I don't speak, I'll be dead." The pirate was frightened by his captain's gaze and fell backward, hurriedly explaining.
"Why panic? Look at him now, what could he do?"
"Yeah, that's right."
Saying this, he seemed to have recalled something, then suddenly grew bold and spat toward his captain's direction.
In return came an even fiercer glare from that pirate captain.
"Alright, is there anything else?"
"No, really nothing else, sir."
"Nothing else? Then you can go down too."
Another figure traced an arc before falling into the sea.
"Next."
This one, when pulled open, directly kept silent.
Glaring at Kane: "Anyhow, it's death, give me a swift one."
"Quite courageous, alright, I'll fulfill your wish."
After dealing with him, looking at the remaining pirates, Kane directly waved his hand.
"Finish them all, seems they're of no use."
The remaining pirates struggled frantically, but could not escape their fate of death.
"Your Majesty, do you want this one too?"
A Lantern Knight pointed at the pirate captain beside him and asked.
Kane walked over to take a look.
"Just looking at his eyes, you can tell he won't share anything with us, but since he's a golden, I'll personally finish him off, don't waste him."
Speaking, a transparent longsword appeared in Kane's hand, directly piercing and pinning him onto the deck.
However, the blank magic stone in his hand was only filled by one-third.
"So little, no wonder the strength is so weak, diluted so much."
It's Kane's first time seeing such little energy in a golden level person.
He then reached out, took a small pocket watch from the small pocket on his chest.
This was the only item on him flashing with magic power brilliance.
After opening, you could see inside wasn't a time-recording needle, but a small ship's relief.
[Ancient Sail Watch]
[Summoning Artifact]
[Silver]
[Attributes: Gain basic naval knowledge upon wear.]
[Skills: Summon Magic Sailboat] (Summon one hand, using magic materials and various magic runes to forge out a large sailboat.
After the ship is completely destroyed, this skill is closed.)
[Introduction: An item unique to a certain world with an extremely vast ocean area.
Enables a captain to administer his precious ship.]
Looking at this item's attributes.
Not very useful, just a toy.
After fiddling twice, he directly handed this artifact to Lilulu on his shoulder.
These little gadgets are Lilulu's favorite, maybe she could discover some strange ability from it.
"It's yours, Lilulu."
He then turned his head towards Kreya and the others and said, "Let's check the cabin; I feel a life form is locked in a room. Should be what that pirate mentioned earlier."
Saying this, he led Kreya and the others into the cabin.
Upon entering, a peculiar odor hit them, causing them to frown involuntarily.
"So smelly, Lilulu's going up to wait for you."
Saying, Lilulu fluttered her wings and flew up, her hands still clutching the watch Kane just gave her.
While Kane directly walked inward.
Came to a room outside, looking at the graphics on the door, this should be the captain's dedicated lounge.
Pushed open the door and walked in.
Indeed.
The smell inside was much more normal.
The surrounding furniture seemed more luxurious, and appeared very tidy.
A large wooden desk was fixed on the floor, and on the back wooden wall hung a sea map.
However, the sea map above had long differed from the outside, meaningless to look.
There were also some tools for measuring and aiding navigation.
Have to say, though a pirate, as a captain, the maritime skills seemed quite competent.
Moreover, there was also an unfinished sea map on the table, the patterns above likely showing the surrounding sea conditions.
Kane bypassed the front seat and came into a hidden inner room.
The life form he sensed was in here.
Upon pushing open the small door, what met the eye was a large fish tank.
Virtually occupying the entire room fully.
And a beautiful face was glaring at Kane and the others in front of the fish tank.
The face was filled with fear.
And Kane could see her beautiful tail below.
