Chapter 21: Spoils of War

In this battle, Ethan relied on the absolute superiority of equipment, and he was purely abusing vegetables.

The other party completely lacked the courage to fight to the death, which caused Ethan to not even have a chance to use the only defensive magic ice shield.

However, he still took this opportunity to test his combat effectiveness very well.

"In the future, when facing ordinary robbers, not only will you not hurt yourself, but you can also fight back perfectly. ”

This is definitely not a delusion!

Recover the two short arrows, these short arrows made of pure metal are not easy to replenish, and Ethan will recover them if they can be recovered.

He rummaged through a few more people, and found some things bit by bit, but the most valuable ones were still these weapons.

"Maybe you can get some low-level magic stones?"

In fact, even the old clothes worn by these people can be used to exchange for some things, but Ethan didn't do that, except that he was not short of this 'money', but he also had some resistance in his heart.

Although he is not a good person, since he has been killed by me, what is the point of humiliating a corpse?

Because of Ethan's idea, these robbers kept their clothes, which was regarded as retaining their last dignity, and were buried together.

"By the way, these guys still have a boat parked on the beach, I don't know what kind of boat it is?"

There were six people here, and it was unclear if there was a crew left behind on the ship, and even if there weren't, the ship that could carry six people would be much larger than its own.

Regardless of whether they had found other islands before, and regardless of how much food and water they still had on their ship, such a boat alone was already a big gain, and Ethan's voyage was not in vain.

After a busy time, it was getting dark, and he was not going to go back to his camp, but to go to the boat of the gang.

If there is a crew member left, take advantage of the cover of night to solve it all, and if not, count your loot by the way.

Following the path they had opened up earlier in Rodney, Ethan soon found the place where their ship was moored.

It was a two-masted schooner about fifteen meters long, and it looked a bit like a Caravel ship that I had used in my previous life to play a game of big sailing, but it was slightly smaller.

Much taller than his own boat, this ship has two decks, and unlike the so-called double deck of his own small boat, the inner deck of this ship is spacious enough for a person of normal height to move freely.

In addition, the main sail of this ship is a jib-like sail, which is less stable than a standard sail, but it is extremely agile and suitable for calm sea conditions, and takes advantage of its speed and agility.

Of course, it is more troublesome to control, and if you are alone, you may be tossed around if you drive this boat out to sea.

"Drive back and sell?"

It seems a bit of a waste, it's rare to have a better boat without having to buy it yourself, and if you sell it directly, you have to buy a new boat yourself, which seems a bit stupid.

"Maybe I really have to find some partners, and I don't think it's reliable to roam the sea alone. ”

By this time it was completely dark, and there was no light on the ship.

"It seems that there is no one left on the ship. ”

All the way to the cabin, Ethan didn't find a figure. However, he didn't turn on the lights directly, but cheered up and kept watch in a dark corner all night.

When the sun rises above the sea again, he is sure that there are no other enemies.

A new search of the ship, and by the way, the remaining supplies on the ship were counted, and the situation was much better than Ethan had thought.

The ship was well fed with food and fresh water, and it was clear that Rodney's gang had just restocked themselves and discovered the island very quickly.

"These bastards aren't just going after me, are they?"

It's not impossible, when he went to sea, Rodney saw which direction he was heading, although it is not easy to find someone in the vast sea, but with the two points of floating and sinking islands and island pointers, it is not impossible to find someone.

Once you've decided on a course, then just follow one direction and then head towards the first island locked by the pointer, and the probability of catching it is definitely more than 70%.

"I still have too little experience, and if I really want to get rid of tracking in the future, I have to go around a few more circles, at least I have to completely avoid the route that is the easiest to be locked. ”

Ethan silently memorized another lesson, then got off the boat and searched again near the shore.

There is no trace of setting up a camp, and Rodney's gang should have rushed directly to the center of the island as fast as possible after they got to the island, maybe in their eyes, whether I am on this island or not, they need to grab the most important things on the island first.

Or rather, they thought that if I were on the island, I would definitely be exploring the center of the island at this time, so in any case, rushing straight over would be the most correct and time-saving option.

After eliminating all the hidden dangers, Ethan continued his previous exploration, and it took another two months to explore the island.

He searched everywhere he could, and the biggest gain was to find a hidden mine, of course he couldn't tell what kind of ore was inside, but ore was a very valuable material, no matter what mine could be exchanged for a large amount of materials.

Because of the addition of a 'big ship', he also has the possibility of transporting a lot of ore. Soon the ore was piled up in the ship's warehouse, and Ethan even moved all the fruit and drinking water to the land, only preparing to leave with some fruit to maintain vitamins, and the drinking water was completely solved by water-making.

Suddenly a lot of weight was added, and the draft of the big ship became much deeper, and Ethan took some effort to drive the boat to a slightly deeper place and stop it.

Just as he was ready to continue exploring, a sudden jolt nearly caused him to fall.

"Earthquake?"

The earthquake was a warning of the sinking of the island, and according to Ethan's speculation, the foundation below the island had begun to unstable and could collapse at any time, causing the island to 'sink'.

"Looks like time is running out. ”

This is an island without animals, so this island will not stay at sea for a long time, from a few months to a few days, and now I have lived on the island for two months, which is already a relatively long existence.

"It's a pity that the magic stone has never been found. ”

He had always remembered what the guild people had said to him, so his first goal on this island would always be the magic stone.

Originally, when I first found the mine, I thought I had found the right place, maybe there was something I wanted in the depths of the mine where there was so much ore that I could pick it up casually.

What I didn't expect was that this vein was shallower than I thought, and there was no way in it for a long time, although his eyes were full of ore, but Ethan was still unwilling, and used the long sword that Kasha gave him to make a cameo appearance as a miner, but in addition to being tired and a dog, he only collected more ore that he didn't know what it was for.

The tremors became more and more frequent, from once every half a day at the beginning, to about once every two hours now, and the shaking lasted longer and became stronger and stronger, Ethan knew that he could no longer stay on the island and began to prepare to evacuate.

As early as the first earthquake, Ethan had already packed up his things that needed to be packed, and even stopped his own place in advance to avoid rushing the boat out of the cove.

Another tremor, Ethan felt the frequency fast again, and the intensity of the tremor began to cause noticeable damage to the island: the ground cracked, the hillside turned into a large crater, and everything reminded Ethan to leave quickly.

He did the same, and sped towards the location he had already chosen. But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed a burst of white light flashing in the big pit not far away.

"What's that?"

Ethan thought it was an illusion, or something like an ore, and shook his eyes in the sunlight, but the clear fluctuations in magic reminded him that it was not an ordinary ore.

"Magic Stone!"

Ethan hurried to the pit and saw the white stone that glowed softly and rippled with magical power.

"I don't know what the properties are of the white magic stone. ”

After observing the structure of the crater, Ethan made a judgment in almost the shortest amount of time, and then jumped down.

At that moment, he almost burst out with speed and agility far beyond his limit, and under the intermittent vibration, he grabbed the magic stone that had been shaken into the air.

Then he climbed back to the ground from the route he had chosen a long time ago with more agility than a monkey, and then sprinted to the beach like a mad dog.

He was not far from the sea, but he didn't expect that this magic stone was on the shore of the place where he intended to leave, and it was buried in the ground, if it weren't for a series of coincidences, Ethan would not have been able to find this magic stone.

Immediately after returning to the ship, Ethan raised the anchor, hoisted the sails, and sailed his Dawn Goddess to the larger ship that had been parked farther away.

Looking at the island that was still shaking, although the shaking became stronger and it was no longer suitable for living on the island, but it would not sink for a while, Ethan also let go of his worries and looked at the white magic stone in his hand.

"What are the properties of this thing?"

Ethan looked at it for a while, and suddenly felt that the fluctuations of this magic stone seemed to be a little familiar? He hadn't seen many magic stones, and they were basically red fire attribute magic stones.

The white one that I have seen is the only one that I used when the guild helped me fill in the information.
