Ivan, who was deep underground, didn't know that the island transformed from a "rock giant" beneath his feet had already welcomed a new batch of "uninvited guests".

boom

The thunder rumbled and the storm continued.

A black-sailed pirate ship appeared in the distance on the sea near the island.

Due to the unfamiliarity with the sea conditions in the open sea and the failure to avoid the sudden storm in time, the "Thumb" has been bumping in the angry sea for a long time, and even several large holes were torn in the sail surface by the strong wind.

An anchorage is urgently needed for repair.

The lookouts no longer knew how many waves they had changed. In this weather, every sailor who boarded the lookout felt like he was rushing to the execution ground. Because if he was thrown off the mast during the violent turbulence, he would be immediately angry.

Swallowed by the sea, there is absolutely no possibility of survival!

Suddenly, the lookout's shout of surprise spread throughout the ship through the wind and rain.

"There's an island ahead!"

Hearing this, the pirates, from captain to ordinary sailor, all cheered.

"Great! Finally found an island to anchor on!"

"Damn storm, I feel like my bones are about to fall apart."

""

And at the bottom of the pirate ship, which was dark, damp and filled with a strange smell, a group of people who were tied tightly with ropes and tied in a string also heard the noise above.

Most of the people in this group looked depressed. Although they were wearing navy uniforms, they had lost even a trace of the high-spiritedness that should belong to the navy.

But if you think about it carefully, it's normal. After being defeated and captured by pirates in a naval battle, being barely fed some soup and water, and being tossed about in a storm for two days, no one's condition would get better.

A sailor asked softly the captain who was tied up next to him.

"Captain John?"

"Don't worry, let's wait until the pirates land ashore."

The two men whispered quietly, and it was obvious that Captain John among them was already the highest-ranking member of the surviving navy.

This is a burly man in his thirties with red curly hair and bloodstains and scabs on his face. Although he is in a bad condition, his eyes are firm and clear, and he has not been knocked down by the temporary setback.

He was even planning an escape in his heart all the time!

Soon, the sound of anchor being dropped was heard in the cabin, and the noise on the deck gradually became louder. It was obvious that the pirates on the ship were gathering.

After a while the hatch was opened.

The two pirates holding gas lanterns cursed and walked off, waving their scimitars: "You damn navy guys, please be more honest with me, you know? I have to stay on the ship with you bastards!"

After being bumpy for such a long time, even the tenacious pirates couldn't bear it, and almost vomited their intestines. The two pirates originally thought they could go ashore to repair themselves, but they didn't expect to be assigned the task of guarding the prisoners.

Feeling unhappy.

None of the sailors who were already prisoners no longer tried to talk back to the pirates. They lowered their heads and looked obedient, which made the pirates who were looking for a punching bag and have fun for a while frustrated.

Hua Hua Hua

Pirates rowed long boats and landed on the island one after another.

However, when they landed on the island from the other side, they were not as lucky as Ai Wen and others, being able to find the best landing place and a place to shelter from the rain as soon as possible.

A group of people could only set up smelly sheepskin tents in a place with a little shelter from the wind and rain. They were packed in like quails, but it was much better than on the boat. Many people fell asleep as soon as they touched the ground.

Only a few high-ranking pirate cadres, including the captain, were beaten and led respectfully into a cave that looked like it had been eroded by running water. A fire was lit and they sat around.

"Duncan, where are you going?"

As soon as he sat down and took the wine glass from his subordinates, the captain saw his number one general, who was also the first mate on the ship, getting up and walking outside, and asked a little strangely.

"I'm going to see if there is any game on the island and bring it back for dinner." The first mate named Duncan was obviously not a sociable person and he replied without looking back.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work! Don't run too far and come back soon." The captain didn't care about his attitude. He just told him and let him go. He had full confidence in the strength of his first mate.

"good!"

The first mate, who was obviously not very gregarious, walked out of the cave into the rain. His figure flashed a few times before disappearing into the dark jungle.

There was a distant voice singing praises from behind.

"A toast to our wise and wise Captain!"

"The existence of the 'Thumb' is all due to the captain. When the news that we killed the navy captain and captured the navy soldiers spreads out, our bounty should reach 2,500 gold lions, right?

"

"Hahaha, the navy's bounty is the pirate's honor. Maybe it won't be long before we are qualified to enter the pirate city of 'Shipwreck Bay'!"

The pirate captain smiled and accepted the compliments of his pirate cadres one by one. However, he was still sober before he started drinking, and he understood who was the biggest contributor to the success of his pirate ship.

He is a good captain, and he considers himself to have some leadership skills. But when it comes to personal strength that is most valued on the sea, he is just a peak trainee.

The reason why I have made it this far is because of the eccentric first mate Duncan who just left!

If I hadn't picked him up from the sea, who was seriously injured, how could I have conquered such a powerful transcendent?

Although I never knew the past of this first mate, and he didn’t get along with most of the cadres on the ship, it was really useful! Thinking of the good news, I couldn’t help but smile even more happily.

Whoosh

First mate Duncan turned into a blurry shadow and quickly shuttled through the jungle.

Wearing a black turban, he has an unrecognizable ordinary face, deep dark circles under his eyes, and blue-green skin all over his body. He only wears a piece of crotch armor, two swords at his waist, and is shirtless and barefoot.

, at first glance, others may even think it is a corpse that has been looted.

However, every guy who thought so has been turned into a real corpse by him!

The extraordinary path "Ghost Lizard Shadow Thief" gives him the ability to blur his tracks and hide himself even when moving at high speed. Especially in jungle areas with complex terrain, this ability is even more powerful.

This is also the origin of the nickname "Chameleon" Duncan.

The heavy rain that lasted for several days was actually his favorite weather. Because it was in such a rainy weather that he was able to escape from the "Aurora Society", the largest killer organization in the mainland, and avoid the possibility of failure after the mission failed.

The fate of being liquidated.

Although he was seriously injured and dying, and was forced to hide in the sea where the "Aurora Society" was relatively weak, he still survived in the end.

Even because he carefully concealed himself and gave all the "credit" to the members of the "Thumb" pirate ship, he has not yet appeared on the Navy's wanted order.

What you are best at is hiding your whereabouts, isn't it?

"Huh? Is there someone?"

A heavy rain caused all the prey in the forest to hide. Duncan, who had gained nothing, didn't care. Hunting was just an excuse to not stay with those fools who thought they were smart.

Just when he was about to turn around and leave, he unexpectedly saw the warm yellow firelight flickering through the branches and leaves.

"Um?"

His body reacted faster than his mind. Before he had any idea of ​​what to do, he was already like an elegant black panther, easily scurrying up the treetops. With the undetectable swaying of the treetops, the person had quietly gone away.

Gently pull back the dense branches and leaves.

"Are these people Phaletis's navy? Did they also come here to hide from the storm? What's going on with these buildings?"

Not far away, a cluster of wooden buildings appeared in front of Duncan's eyes. Many of the buildings were glowing with fire. In the rainy day, the repair conditions of this group of people were much better than that of his pirates.

However, this is not what Duncan is concerned about. What he cares about is whether the existence of these naval forces will threaten his safety! Now he only lives for himself, and any threat to himself must be eliminated!

There is no doubt about it.

On an isolated island besieged by storms, these navies are the enemy!!!

one two three

Duncan, who has undergone rigorous training since childhood and is best at stealth combat and assassination, silently counted the sentries outside.

As a highly skilled former senior assassin, he knew that if he attacked the sentries in this situation, his actions would be quickly exposed due to their fixed patrol routes and handover times.

But if you rely on your extraordinary abilities, it will be much easier to sneak directly into the building, especially if you only need a tongue.

Silent and breathless.

The figure lying on the ground gradually faded and blended into the rainy night. In the end, there was only an undetectable shadow swimming on the ground like a snake. It did not attract the attention of the surrounding sentries at all, and easily slipped into a room through the warning area.

In the wooden house in the corner.

Soon.

He swam out of the cabin again like a snake, but this time he still held a sleeping figure in his hand. Miraculously, the figure in his hand was also in the same "invisible" state as he was.
Chapter completed!
