Looking directly into those young but resolute eyes.

After all, Evan was not able to refuse the motivation of a loyal subordinate.

As Baldwin himself said, "My lord, do you think it is possible for me to break through to transcendence before the age of thirty-five?"

Now is the time for the pirate group to hire people, and I'm willing to gamble that this life will be picked up by you anyway. ”

Ai Wen also agrees with his judgment, unless his "essence fruit" is enough, relying on his own "hard work", Baldwin has almost no hope of breaking through the extraordinary in his life.

The reality is so cold and cruel!

What's more, the number of transcendents under his command who has been tested is too small, and only the talented Gary is really slowly cultivated.

As for the pirates who were co-opted, the second-order senior knight "Iron Bone" William was one, but there was only this one.

In addition to the pirate flagship "Daystar", of which he himself was the captain, the two fifth-tier ships "Gladiator" and "Wrestler" also lacked two transcendent-class captains.

If you take a trainee knight to be the captain of a fifth-class ship, you and the dragoon pirate group really can't afford to lose that person, and if the battleship has thoughts, it will cry!

But among the pirates, even the most lame kind, if you want to, you can grab an armed merchant ship or a schooner and become a captain yourself, and you won't be too bad.

So far, most of the people who have joined the pirate group are just ordinary people, and the highest is only the peak of apprenticeship, which is not of great use.

Now the most promising ones under his command to be promoted in a short period of time are the two Arawak guides who followed him to the Golden Post Road to raid Zinaro and Paka.

When they were driven out of their homes by the Sylius ten years ago, the Orca Totem pole of the Arawak tribe was severed, and the clan's shamans were also destroyed, so to speak, the spiritual and religious roots of the tribe had been severed.

As a result, Zinaro, who had not yet obtained the totem mark at the age of fourteen, also had to practice the Ceci scimitar technique that was passed down among pirates, and the younger Paca naturally showed amazing talent.

Now, for the sake of the balance of the factions under his command, if Baldwin can really become a "Skinman", it will obviously be a great thing for himself and for the pirate group.

"Just let me see if you can be a hard-working genius compared to them, right?!"

Bang!

Bang la la blah

Outside of the ever-growing port of Hatrafa, in a hidden corner of the vast lagoon, Aven has spawned a mangrove forest to enclose a wooden embankment separating the inside and outside.

Swallow the potion that Evan had concocted with the heart of the demonic creature-level horn shark, and put on the "Activated Beast Skin" that just stared at it like a bloodthirsty beast that was about to be devoured at any moment.

Baldwin had been thrown into the walled-off lagoon by Aven.

"Ahh

"Roar!"

However, listening to the inhuman roar in the water, and the huge force of the splash as he struggled, it was clear that Baldwin was not in a good state at this time.

Beneath the surface of the water.

It is in the shape of a shark with a spike on its back up to three meters long, but from time to time a fin will turn into an arm, and the tail will turn into legs of different sizes, and then change back again after a few breaths.

This strange form is even more terrifying than the previous "fish monster".

Evan knew that the physical pain at this time was nothing more than cramping and skinning, because the constant intense pain kept churning and roaring in the water, and even hitting his head against the embankment made of mangroves.

Extreme pain cannot be overcome by volition alone, and there are no medical cases of death due to pain.

Even Baldwin, who had been mentally prepared, was a little unbearable at this time as an elite soldier who had been through a hundred battles.

What's more, there is also the residual will of a ferocious large flesh-eating demon creature, which has remained in this living animal skin, and if you want to completely take over its power, you must first ask the original owner if he agrees.

It was a test of both body and mind, and from the very beginning there was no one who could directly help him.

There will only be one winner between "Animated Hides" and Baldwin!

But this state has lasted for two hours, and the life-and-death confrontation between the two still shows no sign of subsiding. And the longer it drags on, the slimmer the hope of success becomes.

However, as one of the first loyal subordinates to follow him, Evan certainly did not want the young Baldwin to become nourishment for the "living hides".

At this time, we can only come up with a solution that is not the last solution.

Turning to Gary beside him, he said, "Put it in." ”

"Okay, Boss!"

An inconspicuous gate was pulled up by Gary with one hand, and two large tigerfish with bared teeth swam in another small area of water, also enclosed by the embankment.

Whoosh!

Their dorsal fins pulled out two long white lines on the surface of the water, and they were fiercer than sharks by nature, and pounced on Baldwin, who was obviously not as powerful as the "horned shark" at first.

Although the tiger fish has not reached the level of demonized creatures, the sum of the two ends is enough to compete with the exhausted Baldwin at this time, and more importantly, it is fierce by nature, not to mention that the demonized creatures are sea monsters, they dare to go up and take a bite.

Bang la blah

The water splashed and rolled, and the three big fish were already fighting together, and the red blood had instantly stained a large area of sea water.

Those who don't know may think that Evan is going to take the defeated Baldwin to feed the fish

However.

Roar!

Miraculously, although Baldwin roared and seemed to be in a critical situation, he gradually lost the precarious appearance he had at the beginning, and he was about to lose control and be devoured by the skin of the fish at any time.

Over time.

Instead, it seems to have turned into a real deep-sea shark, with a bit of the ferocity, strength and cunning of the "wolf of the sea"!

Obviously, this reciprocal situation was deliberately created by Aven.

In order to make the opposing state of Patrick and "revitalize the hide" in the life-and-death crisis of both parties, reduce internal friction and unanimously deal with powerful external enemies.

It is even possible to achieve a state of true tacit coexistence.

Although it was Ai Wen's first creation, the effectiveness of this method had never been verified in the Inheritance Secret Scroll before, but this was already the most likely method that Ai Wen thought of to help him.

Anyway, after failure, it's a death, who eats it or not?

So far, it seems to be working pretty well.

After waiting for another five minutes, Aven, who was staring at the movement in the water, finally showed a smile on his face, slapped his palm lightly, and turned to Gary on the side and ordered:

"Sure enough, a strong external enemy is the best catalyst for internal unity.

As luck would have it, it looks like we're going to get bigger and bigger after you.

When Baldwin gets used to his new body, bring him to me tomorrow. ”

"Okay, Boss!"

The ring-shaped spirit sun hangs high in the sky.

A slender but blurred figure stood with a sword in the ruined city.

A shield-shaped stone with a faint yellow glow hung from his neck, and he was draped in a short cyan robe that hemmed down to his calves, and his upper body was covered with steel busts with black spikes.

The appearance is faintly clearer than at the beginning.

Because of the efforts to clear the monster like the black worm some time ago, and constantly obtaining spiritual feedback from the spirit world, Aiwen's spiritual value has successfully broken through from 2.1 when he just broke through to 2.4.

However, the feedback given by this seemingly low-level bug has become less and less, and at the beginning, completely killing a humanoid monster composed of [Black Bugs] can also get a +0.01 boost.

But now there are at least more than sixty humanoid monsters killed, and under the decreasing effect, the feedback from the spirit world has been minimal.

There is only one purpose left for Ai Wen to clean up these insects wholeheartedly, and that is to obtain that complete [Thunder Sword Technique]!

The "White Knight", a great pirate who will inevitably need to show up in the future, obviously needs a signature housekeeping skill to make the necessary distinction from Evan Galiot, who is a commodore in the Navy.

This powerful [Thunder Sword Technique] came at the right time.

Squeak! Squeak!

In the noisy chirping, the [black worms], which were much thinner than at the beginning, had already gathered from all directions like a tide.

The location is still the place where the last strategy ended on the third layer of Poseidia counting from the bottom up, and Evan's strategy has temporarily stalled these days since he was recuperating from his injuries, because the physical state of the material world will also be synchronized to the spirit world.

At least Evan wasn't arrogant enough to think that the dangerous and treacherous spirit world had reached the point where he could let himself roam at will, and that was a joke with his life.

It wasn't until today's body was completely healed that I decided to kick away this stumbling block that had been stumbling over me for a long time and get what I wanted!

However, the situation that Evan faces today is different from what it used to be.

The swarming black insects have completely lost the part of the "transcendent meaning", and now they seem to be aware of the arrival of the decisive moment.

Wrapped in skulls and black fabric, the "squeak" began to merge with strange screams.

Reaching the size of a normal human has not stopped, and there is still an endless stream of black insects that pounce on them to become part of the humanoid monsters, and as the black insects gather the momentum of the monsters, they are also climbing step by step.

Trainee Knights, Regular Knights, Senior Knights, and Peak Knights, the momentum of growth gradually subsided at this time, and the massive black worms in the third layer had completely disappeared.

Four giant monsters with a height of nearly eight meters appeared in place, the monster wore a circle of three-eyed human skulls around its neck, and the amorphous head that continued to wriggle was covered with three large black holes, one up and two down.

Chirping!

A sound that seemed to be the uniform hiss of all black worms almost shattered the eardrum of a person.

The four monsters wrapped in black rags still remained humanoid as a whole, and in their right hands was a hardened sword with black secretions that had not changed for thousands of years, which had become similar to the door panel at this time.

With a slight wave, there was a long sword mark on the stone floor.

In the other hand, there was an extra weapon, which Evan felt would be more accurate to call it a "lightning weapon".

For each of them flashed with thunder, a spear in the shape of lightning, a black hammer, a scepter rattling around chains, and a drum painted with Raven.

As soon as they appeared, muffled thunder began to roll in the sky above the lost city, as if an extreme thunderstorm was brewing that would destroy the city.

Looking at the monsters that were gradually approaching him, Aivan's eyes widened:

"Didn't you say that you wanted to be each other's Heavenly Sword Opponents? You actually fouled!!"

The next moment.

demo

In the sound of a needle-pricked incantation, on the slender and snowy line of cold front in his hand, there was already a light blue electric light that was dancing and shining and crackling.

Then, like a tiny birdsong, it grew louder and brighter, illuminating Aven's blurred face.

"I'm glad I'm not an honest person!"
