Chapter 6: Crisis
In the dark night, a half-moon hangs above the sky, and the stars are all over the sky, and the vast starry sky is like a beautiful picture.
In the dense forest near the coast of Flying Fish Island, many leaves are rustling, startling many birds that have rested in the jungle, and a few figures can be seen faintly in the trees, flashing by.
The group of pirates who landed on the beach were sneaking through the jungle at this time, trying to catch the people of Flying Fish Island off guard.
Walking in the jungle in the dark, unable to see the road under your feet, and covered by a lot of bushes, it was a particularly difficult thing, but I don't know how many times this group of pirates walked at night, and they walked no slower than during the day.
The villages of Flying Fish Island are brightly lit and families enjoy dinner, and it is a time of family merriment, and not many people notice the chirping birds.
Even if you notice it, you won't care too much, you will only think that some big guys in the forest are messing around, and the peaceful life on the island for decades has already made everyone relax their vigilance.
'Squeak' made a sound as one foot stepped on a dead wood branch, and before he knew it, the pirates were making their way through the jungle to the edge of the village.
"Hee-hee-hee, the lights of peace."
A cruel smile was engraved on Cromwell's face, he liked such a peaceful little village, and the more peaceful it was destroyed, the more excited he became, and he could already imagine the desperate faces of the villagers in the village.
"Captain, there seems to be a tavern over there, I'll go and bring some wine first."
A tall figure, with strong muscles, wearing simple leather armor, arching his body very comically, said to the thin Cromwell next to him with a flattering face, and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva as he spoke, obviously gluttonous, and excused himself to find some wine to drink first.
"Bring a few people along, tonight's party is indispensable for wine, Kewei." Cromwell said unconcernedly, his eyes full of images of celebration after the village burned.
Soon, several of the pirates broke away from the pirate army and went to the tavern where Ivan was.
"Little ones, the party begins."
In the tavern, Ivan and Magino were chatting about homely things, and when he opened the air sea essence hole, he heard the sound of deliberately suppressed footsteps outside the door, squirming, like a rat that is a thief.
"What's wrong?" Magino couldn't help but ask suspiciously when she saw Ivan's abnormality.
"Someone's coming." Ivan said casually to Magino, but his heart was full of confusion.
The residents of Flying Fish Island all know the closing time of the tavern, and this point happens to be a meal, no one will come at this time, and he deliberately lowered his footsteps while walking, Ivan really couldn't think of who was coming.
The footsteps grew closer, and finally stopped at the tavern door, followed by several strange noises.
It was the sound of metal cutting through leather, and only pirates and butchers liked to use leather as scabbards, and now they could think of it even with their toes, and it was impossible for a butcher to be standing outside the door now.
Noticing the sudden change in the look on Ivan's face, Magino was about to ask what had happened.
Ivan quietly put his index finger on his lips, signaled not to speak, picked up the knife and fork on the table, and looked at the tavern door with a wary expression.
"Bang bang......" There were several knocks on the door, but no one spoke outside the door.
The knock on the door stopped for a moment, followed by a rapid knock that lasted for more than a dozen seconds before the knocking stopped.
There was a loud ......bang, and the wooden door of the tavern was directly slammed open, and the huge impact force could even see the indentations left by the impact on the wooden door, as well as the debris falling from the door.
Three men in shabby leather clothes walked in, and the two normal people on the left and right were extremely thin compared to the one standing in the middle, like two newborn chicks.
Standing in the middle, who is more than two meters tall, his body is full of bulging muscles, and just standing at the door of the tavern gives people a huge sense of oppression.
The people on the left and right were all holding a knife in their hands, and the one standing in the middle was a thick iron rod, and even a lot of black stains could be seen on the iron rod.
"Let's come over and get some wine, and if you don't want to die, you'd better not resist." The strong man at the head had a smile on his face, but he didn't have any affinity, but was extremely terrifying.
After speaking, an iron rod smashed on the oak table beside him, and with a muffled sound, the sturdy oak table was directly smashed open by the iron rod, and even a lot of wood chips bounced out.
Ivan sat motionless at the table with Magino, and this performance satisfied Kwee, and it had become his usual skill to threaten him as soon as he entered the door.
However, he only noticed the worried expression on Magino's face, and did not notice Ivan's calm and the knife and fork in his hand.
Life on Flying Fish Island can be said to be very peaceful, but there is also a lot of boredom behind the peace, an island that makes a living from fishing, always has to find some fun for the boring life, so no matter how much adults and children will have a little fishing skills.
Many fishermen on the island like to use a twine tied to the tail end to link the bow of the boat, with a barbed steel speargun to the big fish, let the speargun pass through the body of the big fish, let the blood stain the sea, and then pull up the struggling sea fish to show their bravery.
Familiar, Ivan's projection ability is naturally not weak, otherwise he would not have picked up the knife and fork beside him when he noticed something unusual at the door of the tavern.
"Close your eyes, Magino." Ivan's sudden opening attracted the attention of the three pirates.
However, Ivan's harmless young appearance did not have the vigilance of pirates.
Suddenly, Ivan raised his hand and projected the knife and fork in his hand.
The strength that surpassed the strength of ordinary people, coupled with the body that had been baptized after opening the sperm hole, under the overlap of the two, Ivan's physical fitness at this time even reached the peak that ordinary humans could achieve, and the knife and fork made a piercing sound of breaking through the air, and silver light passed.
The knife and fork passed through the heads of the two pirates on the left and right, respectively, and sank into the blood-spattered wall behind them, and the tail end of the bloodstained knife and fork was still shaking at this time.
Ivan's sudden outburst, an ordinary boy who was as threatening as a chicken in Kwei's perception, suddenly turned into a devouring tiger, and the sudden change made him, who was not very smart, directly stunned in place.
Cleanly, without the slightest hesitation, Ivan pulled out the small self-defense dagger hanging from the pillar and rushed towards the remaining Kwee.
Kewei subconsciously waved the iron rod in his hand towards Ivan, who rushed over, but he didn't know that he had missed the best time to counterattack, and the small dagger had already detached from Ivan's palm.
The tip of the dagger continued to enlarge and magnify in his eyes, until his eyes went black and he lost consciousness.
With a muffled thud, Kwi fell to the ground, the dagger between his eyebrows, and a lot of blood dripped down his cheek and fell to the floor.
From Ivan's projection knife and fork to Kwee's death, it took no more than a minute before and after.
"Whew..."Ivan breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still beating violently, and the intense tension made him sweat profusely.
Less than a minute felt like an hour had passed for him.
At this moment, three cards flew out of the corpse that had not yet cooled down.
Ivan took the cards, three whiteboard cards, two upgrade cards and one skill card.
Name: Pirate's Knife Technique (Clumsy)
Type: Skill card
Level: Whiteboard (Lower)
The clumsy murder knife method of the third-rate bandit has no power at all, it is almost the same as a person holding a knife, but with more practice, there is potential for improvement.
Name: Upgrade Card
Type: Item card
Level: Whiteboard (Lower)
Use this card to level up other cards, and two cards of the same level can be fused to upgrade.
Looking at the three tabula rasa cards, Ivan was not much surprised, when the three pirates entered the tavern, their information had already been clearly seen by him, and the strongest was only the strong man in the middle, the strength of the tabula rasa intermediate, but it was beyond his expectations to get the upgrade card.
"Detect that the player has an upgrade card in his hand, and if the card upgrade conditions are met, whether to upgrade the pirate's sword technique."
Ivan directly chose to upgrade, and the three cards turned into a streamer and merged into a new card.
Name:Pirate's Knife Technique (Mastery)
Type: Skill card
Level: Whiteboard (Medium)
The murder knife technique of ordinary pirates, the fighting method that has been exchanged for countless battles, and the elite of the navy who have been trained for many years may die under this knife technique.
"Ivan, can I open my eyes?" The silence in the tavern made Magino, who had his eyes closed, feel as if it was over.
"Wait a minute, I'll clean up." Ivan responded, turning and pulling the three bodies that had fallen to the ground out of the tavern.
He didn't want his sister to see that.
