"God! I've had enough! How many snakes are there on this shabby island? In less than an hour after landing on the island, we encountered seventeen or eighteen."
"Don't complain, you should know that this is Captain Bloodhand's order and no one can disobey it."
"Of course I know this is the captain's order! But the question is, with just over two hundred of us, can we really find four guys who are deliberately hiding on such a big island?"
"Maybe. I heard that hobgoblins and ogres have a good sense of smell, and orc hunters are also very good at tracking."
……
The three human pirates were talking to each other while throwing the snake they just killed away into the distance.
It can be seen that they are different from those who have not received combat training.
They generally have at least one or two warrior levels.
And he is very good at using the scimitar, a weapon that is widely loved by pirates.
Especially the moment when he slashed at the poisonous snake, his movements were fast and accurate, without any hesitation.
After confirming that there was no second wave of pirates within a radius of fifty to one hundred meters, Zuo Si immediately gave the leopard beside him a sneak-approaching gesture.
The latter understood it clearly and crawled with his whole body in the grass, approaching the target slowly from behind with light hands and feet.
When he was less than ten meters behind one of the unlucky men, Rhett finally launched a fatal sneak attack.
I saw it suddenly accelerate and rush forward, then jump up, open its bloody mouth and bite the target's neck fiercely.
Click!
Accompanied by the crisp sound of his spine breaking, the human pirate fell to the ground with a plop without even seeing the attacker, losing the ability to move.
Blood spurted out from the gash torn open by the fangs, obviously the aorta was injured.
The big cat who succeeded in the attack did not hesitate to fight, turned around, jumped into the grass and bushes and disappeared without a trace.
The whole process happened so fast that when the other two pirates turned around, they only saw a blurry yellow shadow and their twitching companion lying in a pool of blood.
"Damn! What was that just now?"
One of the shorter pirates immediately raised his machete and stared ahead warily.
Another pirate next to him squatted down, checked the condition of his companion and the bite marks on his neck, and replied with a horrified look: "It should be some kind of large beast that is good at sneak attacks and is extremely fast. Rick was bitten by it."
Broken neck is already dead."
"What? A beast? How is this possible! If it were a beast, shouldn't it be dragged away and eaten after killing its prey? But after that thing killed Rick, it ran away without even stopping for a second. This is not consistent
Common sense!" The short pirate put forward a different point of view.
Just as the two human pirates were arguing about what killed their companions, Zuo Si had already taken out a roll of strong rope from his satchel and threw it directly at the other's feet.
Instantly!
The two ends of the rope seemed to come alive, climbing up and wrapping around the feet of the nearby target at extremely fast speeds.
In less than three to five seconds, the two pirates were tied from head to toe into rice dumplings.
Even his mouth was tightly wrapped, and he could only struggle and make whining sounds.
There is no doubt that this is not an ordinary rope, but an [activated rope] with low-level magic effects.
Although the spell level is not high, even many apprentices can cast it.
But as long as you use it properly, you can tie up and capture enemies that are much stronger than you.
However, unlike mages who can only cast spells for a short period of time, the [Activation Rope] Zuo Si took out is a permanent magic item, and the materials used are not hemp ropes or grass that are easily broken by strong creatures.
Rope.
It is a kind of rope that is made of animal sinew that has been repeatedly processed and strengthened, and finally made into a rope with extremely high strength and toughness.
Once tied up, it will become tighter and tighter the more you struggle.
Not to mention just two human pirates, it would be difficult to break them if they were replaced by powerful ogres.
After confirming that the pirates were no longer a threat, Zuo Si slowly walked out from his hiding place and was very careful to collect sharp weapons including scimitars and daggers hidden in his boots.
Then he took off the other person's accessories such as earrings, rings, amulets, etc.
The reason for doing this is mainly to prevent the jewelry you wear from containing magic items.
Although the possibility of ordinary pirates possessing magic items is infinitely close to zero.
The above habits are all the experiences Zuo Si summed up bit by bit through blood and tears in the floating city tower.
He will never forget the experience when he was arresting an apprentice who was stealing something. Even though the apprentice had been tied up, a frost ray suddenly shot out from the ring, almost freezing him to death.
Since then, rings, earrings, amulets and other small accessories that are easily overlooked have become the focus of attention.
But unfortunately, the gold and silver products, gems, and pearls worn by these pirates are just pure decorations.
Probably the most valuable thing is a rare blue pearl set in the necklace.
This small thing, which has been infected by magic for many years, is not only a jewelry loved by nobles and wealthy businessmen, but also a high-quality material for making magic items.
If it is made into [Mana Regeneration Pearl], it can be sold for at least one thousand gold coins.
Looking at the blue pearls that exuded a charming halo under the sunlight, Zuo Si whispered in a rather puzzled tone: "For a group of pirates who make a living by looting, belongings with such value are also
Isn’t it a bit outrageous?”
"Roar!"
The leopard emerged from the bushes at some point and kept licking the blood on its mouth and teeth with its tongue.
When the two guys tied up by [Activated Rope] saw this scene, their legs were so frightened that they almost peed their pants, with panicked expressions on their faces.
No matter how stupid they are at this moment, they almost understand what happened.
But Zuo Si didn't care about the prisoner's reaction, and maintained a nonchalant attitude and said to the two of them: "I believe you already understand your situation.
Now I am announcing the rules of the game. All you have to do is abide by them 100%, and you must not violate them in the slightest.
First, no shouting is allowed, otherwise I will let the big cat bite your throats out immediately.
Second, I will answer whatever you ask, without hiding anything.
Otherwise I will cut off your fingers, toes, noses, and lips one by one.
Third, I will separate you and interrogate you individually.
If you get two completely different answers to the same question, you know what the consequences will be.
In the end, among the two of you, I will only allow the one who provides the most information to survive, while the other one will be killed.
How about it, it’s very simple and easy to understand, isn’t it?”
For a moment, both pirates saw shock and fear in each other's eyes.
They couldn't believe that a human boy who looked about ten years old could have such vicious and careful thoughts.
Because according to this rule, no one dares to conceal any information.
Not only that!
They will also try their best to tell everything they know in exchange for the only chance to come down.
But after a brief silence, the two pirates began to scramble like worms, trying to be the first to be interrogated before the other.
From this moment on, their relationship has changed from companions to competitors and unrelenting enemies.
After all, you don’t expect a group of bandits who make a living from robbery to have any noble sentiments about sacrificing themselves for others.
