Chapter 16: Sunken Ship Cargo

Da Fei fled anxiously into the depths of the pathway. After he was a distance away, he quickly used the Hidden Movement skill to slow down the Zombies’ pursuit and finally caught his breath.

One could tell why the Thief occupation was so popular! It was a pity that this game was not suitable for lone occupations.

At the end of the pathway was a flight of stairs leading to the bottom of the ship. Generally, for a large sailing ship such as this, the stern of the deck was the seafarers’ dormitory, and the cabin below the deck was the cargo warehouse. In order to facilitate the loading and unloading of cargo, the real entrance was on the deck in the middle of the hull.

Da Fei had returned to the sunken ship to look for treasures! Da Fei went down the stairs to the cargo warehouse without hesitation and caught a whiff of a foul, rotting smell.

—System Message: Reconnaissance Skill has detected powerful enemies nearby, please stay alert!

Da Fei felt tightness in his heart! Of course he knew there were powerful enemies nearby. He had already seen them!

At the end of the pitch-black warehouse, he could see a pair of cold flames lit up like fireflies in the dark. It was extremely eerie and terrifying! It must be a Boss-level monster! En, it was only right that there was a Boss, it would be weird if there wasn’t.

In any case, Da Fei was here now. He had to figure things out no matter what. The greatest value of the Hidden Movement was to be able to do things under the Boss’ nose.

It was a warehouse with various wooden barrels. There were some corpses lying on the ground. Da Fei had no doubt that once he went near them, they would jump up. He went around and stayed close to the wall, and made several new discoveries.

—System Message: You found a Spare Sailcloth. (Large Item, cannot be carried around)

—System Message: You found a Ship Repair Material (Large Item, cannot be carried around)

—System Message: You found a Spare Rope (Large Item, cannot be carried around)

—System Message: You found a Spare Carpentry Repair Tools. (Large Item, cannot be carried around)

What was the purpose of these items? Was there a need to say more? Of course they were used for ship repair! Which meant, players could use this ship!

—System Message: Reconnaissance Skill warning! You are about to enter the line of sight of a powerful enemy!

Da Fei was shocked. He immediately withdrew!

In the darkness, he could only see the huge silhouette of the Boss. It seemed to be a big and tall Zombie, quiet and motionless.

Da Fei then circled the cabin, staying outside of the warning distance of Boss. When he was sure of the situation within the cabin, Da Fei began to plan.

He needed to use these resources in order to repair the ship. To do that, he would need to get rid of this Zombie Boss who was guarding the cabin. The Boss must be very strong seeing that his eyes were of a pair of cold flames. What level would he need to be in order to kill this Boss?

Although he had solo-ed a Boss with 600 HP, he had taken advantage of the plant monsters’ handicapped inability. He was just a weak Pikeman who could not even defeat an ordinary Level 3 Evil Spirit. In other words, he had to defeat the Evil Spirit first and get the Magic Book! At least the Evil Spirit was just an ordinary monster and not a Boss. It would be more likely that he could defeat it.

It seemed that it was not easy to obtain the Magic Book. The Evil Spirit could restore its HP and heal itself. How about players? Da Fei did not even have one potion! The thing was, what if the Boss suddenly leveled up? The Magic Book had provided the Evil Spirit with Strength, would he continue to level up and upgrade the Boss’ form? There would be no way to defeat it, then. That meant that he would most likely have to team up with Raging Sea of Blood, right?

Damn it! Team my foot! Even if I team up with him, when the Boss is dying, that will be when we go head-to-head against each other! It’s not that I don’t trust others—if he didn’t scheme against me, I would scheme against him! Aye, don’t tell me that I’m scum, there’s no need to talk about character when my reputation is such. Seriously.

Wait a minute. Potion? Was the key to killing the Evil Spirit finding the potion? Where was the potion? Da Fei looked at the corpses lying on the ground. That was the only place in the cabin he had not searched yet. Regardless, he had to give it a try. He might even be able to find some Skill Books or equipment.

At this time, he heard rapid footsteps on the deck above.

Da Fei was stunned. What was that? Raging Sea of Blood?

Fire lit up the stairway. Fire torch!

F**k! Who would light a fire torch? Was this person courting death? Da Fei immediately hid behind the barrels and sailcloth behind him. He did not hide because he was afraid of him. He was afraid of being seen by the Boss! Hidden Movement did not mean he was invisible. It might work well in the dark night, but it was no use during the daytime!

Plop! Raging Sea of Blood raised his fire torch and jumped down!

Under the light of the fire torch, the surroundings could instantly be seen! There were indeed corpses lying everywhere on the ground and full of junk! The Boss was indeed a big and tall Zombie!

It was only then that Da Fei saw that the position of the Boss was at the entrance leading to the next warehouse! This meant to say, this was a guarding Boss! What was behind that door?

The Boss moved! The Zombies on the ground began to move as well!

Raging Sea of Blood instantly saw what was going on in the cabin. His eyes suddenly lit up and he charged towards the Boss!

Did he escape down here because he couldn’t defeat what was above? Was he so powerful? Was he simply courting death?

Before the corpse on the ground could get up, Raging Sea of Blood strode over their heads to face the incoming Boss. Raging Sea of Blood suddenly pounced forward with a large “Miss” word above his head! This was like a star footballer avoiding the goalkeeper and scoring a ball with his head!

Seeing his shocking actions, Da Fei was dumbfounded! Game data was just data, but people were living things. Under the limitation of data, he displayed a player’s initiative. He was a master! This extraordinary skill was only second to Da Fei’s avoidance of the Sea Anemone King’s tentacle! But, what was he doing instead of attacking the Boss?

Wait! Da Fei just realized there was a weapon rack beside the Boss! And there was a War Blade on it! If the Boss hadn’t moved, he could not see it from his angle at all! And Raging Sea of Blood was clearly charging toward the weapon rack! F**k! So there was a weapon! He did not see it before as he did not dare to go near the Boss!

—Bang! Raging Sea of Blood pounced on the weapon rack, then quickly turn around to escape, laughing wildly!

F**k! He succeeded!

—Puu! Da Fei puked blood! Although he couldn’t use the War Blade as a Pikeman, allowing someone else to get hold of a good piece of equipment was equivalent to giving the Magic Book Boss to them! If he had known there was a War Blade there, he would have gone all out to snatch it! He never expected that even though he came first, someone else would have taken the lead!

—Bang! -15! A big red number appeared above Raging Sea of Blood’s head. It was possible for a player to avoid attacks while running, but it was a different matter when they turned around to escape!

Da Fei was shocked! 15 Damage! The standard of a Level 5 soldier! He would kill Da Fei in two strikes! It was impossible to defeat this Zombie!

Raging Sea of Blood, who had suffered an attack, continued to laugh wildly and ran for his life. It was clear that this War Blade could greatly increase his chances. Otherwise, he would not be so excited. The more Da Fei thought about it, the more regretful he felt!

The Zombies in the room finally rose. They continued to strike -1 HP attacks on Raging Sea of Blood, and he continued to escape at full speed, ignoring the attacks. Just as he was about to reach the staircase, the Zombie Boss suddenly jumped up—throwing himself at Raging Sea of Blood!

A white light flashed. He died! This Zombie Boss was really a Titan!

The fire torch fell on the ground and the room was dark once again!

Da Fei finally came to himself! He might have taken one wrong step, but it was not too late. He still had a chance! Moreover, this Boss was so odd, he might not even be able to defeat him even if he had a new weapon. There was no need for him to be at a loss!

Before the Boss returned to his position, Da Fei came out from hiding and went through the gate that the Boss guarded previously…

…

In the coconut tree forest on the deserted island, the resurrected Raging Sea of Blood waved his loot and laughed heartily!

—Sailor’s War Blade: Personal Attack +3, Attack Speed +1, Basic Damage +3, Durability 57/150.

With this War Blade, his Personal Attack became 7-10 from 4-7. The addition in Personal Attack and Attack Speed would allow him to kill a 17 HP Zombie in two strikes. The most important thing was, it increased his Attack Speed by 1 point! This was a real leap forward. Before, his Attack Speed was 12, and the Zombie’s was 6. After his second strike, the Zombie would be able to retaliate. It was inevitable to lose some HP. With this additional Attack Speed, the Zombie would no longer have a chance to strike back!

Which meant, he could charge to the Magic Book Boss without losing even 1 HP. He would not need to wait until Level 7 in order to learn Cleave. When the weakness period had passed, he would be able to kill the Boss!

Haha! Wahahaha! I should have thought of this earlier!
