After going into the sea, I met the witch.

Your stomach is never truly satisfied; your appetite is astonishing, and your digestion speed is terrifying. However, you also completely absorb the nutrients from food to grow stronger. Current binge eating level: 1/100.

You can significantly accelerate the recovery of your injuries by consuming "Gluttony".

When the gluttony level reaches 100, you will gain the "Gluttony Pleasure" effect, which grants a permanent buff based on what you eat.

Each time you complete a "Gluttony Pleasure," your job compatibility increases by 25%. After completing four "Gluttony Pleasure" sessions, you can attempt a rank advancement.

3. [Blood Hunter]

The Gluttony Hunter's exclusive skill.

Select a weapon type (can be changed) to gain the "Blood Hunter" buff: +20% damage.

When a weapon blessed by "Blood Hunter" hits an enemy, the enemy will be marked with a "Blood Hunter Mark" for x hours, during which time the mark can be tracked and locked onto.

When attacking enemies marked with the "Blood Hunter Mark", damage is increased by 10%.

（x的数值取决于使用者的位阶和灵性，具体换算公式为位阶*10+灵性*1，当前x的值为1*10+2.8*1=12.8。）

(The "Blood Hunter Mark" is extremely well concealed; it is impossible to detect unless one is more than two ranks higher.)

After seeing the three class skills of "Gluttony Hunter (Tier 1)," Ryan was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Only one word came to his mind—awesome!

Compared to the "Gluttony Hunter," the "Pirate" is nothing but pathetic, utterly pathetic.

Both have three class skills, but the "Gluttony Hunter" skills are much stronger!

【Food Battle】 is the only purely active skill among the three professional skills.

Its effectiveness depends on the strength of the creatures that Ryan hunts.

In the hands of others, the strength of this skill is hard to say, but in Ryan's hands...

Just ask me one question: Is the Rathalos leader, a "lower apex" dinosaur with a body length exceeding twenty meters and weighing tens or hundreds of tons, strong enough?

The second skill, "Gluttony," is also the skill that Ryan values ​​most.

This skill has a certain side effect, causing his appetite to increase significantly and making it difficult for him to be satisfied, but its positive effects make it easy to overlook this side effect.

He can greatly accelerate the recovery from injuries; as long as his "gluttony" level is high enough, he is practically an invincible tank.

More importantly, once the "Gluttony" is filled to the maximum value of "100", you can get a "Gluttony Pleasure". The permanent buff is secondary. The key is that after each "Gluttony Pleasure", his job compatibility will increase by 25%!

This is the most important thing.

How to improve career fit has always been a headache for Ryan.

His "pirate" profession coincidentally aligned with his "adventure" career, but he hasn't made any further progress since.

This kind of aimless exploration is undoubtedly too time-consuming and laborious.

The "Gluttony" ability, however, gave Ryan a clear direction to move forward.

After four "binge eating pleasures", you can try to advance to the next level!

As for the third class skill, [Blood Hunter], it is a powerful composite skill.

It has a passive effect: as long as a weapon type is selected, you can get an unconditional 20% damage bonus, and the weapon type can also be changed, which greatly expands the applicable environment of this skill.

It also has an active effect: being attacked by the "Blood Hunter" weapon will result in being marked with a "Blood Hunter Mark" for a certain period of time. During this time, you can actively initiate tracking and locking, and attacking enemies marked with the "Blood Hunter Mark" will also grant an additional 10% damage bonus.

A rather violent professional skill!

……

Nowadays, Ryan can no longer accurately assess his own strength level.

Against ordinary Tier 2 elite professionals like "One-Eyed" Santas, whom he had fought before, even a casual sword strike from him without using any skills would be difficult for Santas to withstand.

I just don't know if I'm capable of defeating the 12th Black Knight now?

Ryan smiled, but his expression quickly changed.

"Gululu..."

The intense hunger surging through his stomach nearly overwhelmed his reason. Under the influence of this intense hunger, he even perceived the wooden tables and chairs not far away as "delicious food."

The side effects of "Gluttony" are really strong...

Ryan sighed, then chose to materialize the monster flesh and blood he had stored in his spatial ring.

Thunder Dragon, Water Fish Dragon, Fire Bird, Great Wild Boar King, Red Tyrannosaurus, Rathalos Leader.

He laid out six different kinds of special flesh and blood in front of him, each only the size of a palm.

The terrifying hunger surging in his stomach caused Ryan to uncontrollably drool when he smelled the "flesh and blood of a powerful creature".

At this moment, there's no time to properly prepare the ingredients.

Ryan grabbed a piece of flesh and stuffed it into his mouth.

Despite being unprocessed ingredients, the meat was exceptionally tender and fresh when it entered his mouth. In just a few bites, he swallowed a palm-sized piece of meat.

Only after eating all six pieces of flesh did the maddening hunger gradually subside.

"call……"

Ryan let out a long breath, wiped the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the panel.

After using six different types of special flesh and blood, his [Gluttony] level became 60/100.

The panel also specifically noted that the first time you taste the flesh and blood of different creatures, you will receive an additional "Gluttony" bonus.

Now, he has a special state called "Rathalos's Lament".

【Rathalos's Lament】: Dragon soul entwines, movement speed +10%, and any attack deals additional fire damage.

A very powerful state!

Speed ​​is a very important attribute in combat.

The faster you are, the easier it is to gain an advantage in battle. When your speed exceeds that of your enemy by an order of magnitude, their movements will appear to you like slow-motion movie action, posing no threat whatsoever.

Besides [Rathalos's Lament], the [Fighting Spirit] skill also records five other states, but these are overridden by the strongest [Rathalos's Lament]. These are named as follows:

[The Lament of the Silent Thunder Dragon], [The Wrath of the Water Fish Dragon], [The Lament of the Fire Monster Bird], [The Wrath of the Great Wild Boar King], and [The Joy of the Crimson Tyrannosaurus]

With the hints, Ryan understood the naming rules for this special state name.

Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness correspond to the enhancement of four basic attributes: strength, stamina, speed, and spirit.

In addition, special effects, such as the extra fire attribute bonus of [Rathalos's Lament], depend on the corresponding prefix name, such as "Rathalos" or "Thunder Dragon".

Just as Ryan was about to try out the effects of each of the five special states, his eyes suddenly flickered, and he turned toward the door.

A dark blue muddy slick emerged from the ground beside the door, followed by Freyne's anxious voice.

"A blood moon has appeared in the sky! Something terrible has happened, Mr. Ryan. Come to the captain's cabin immediately."

Daily book recommendation: "Immortal Destiny: Starting with a Bond with a Fox Girl"

Chapter 92 The Witch's "Blessing"

"A blood-red full moon?"

Upon hearing Freyne's message, Ryan abandoned his attempts to test his professional skills and rushed out the door. In his haste, he lost control of his strength, and a spiderweb-like crack appeared in the ship's deck as he stepped on it.

But at this moment, Ryan had no time to worry about such trivial matters.

As he pushed open the door, the crimson moonlight fell upon him immediately.

In an instant, a strange, indescribable cacophony of babbling rang in his ears.

"*&%*…………&……*"

Ryan couldn't understand what the babbling was saying, but he couldn't suppress the feeling of irritation that welled up inside him, and he had an urge to destroy everything in front of him.

But soon, a faint, warm power emerged from the depths of his soul, dispelling his delirium and restoring Ryan's mind to normal.

"This is?!"

Looking inward, Ryan saw a faint glow emanating from deep within his body—the [Nameless Ship Carving], or more precisely, the nine different trophies hanging from its mast.

He couldn't help but recall the description of the spoils of war.

—【Land of War】: How can a captain who travels through countless worlds be without his own loot? Only those items that are powerful and unique enough qualify as loot. These unique items are not only badges of honor for the captain but also provide him with considerable assistance.

"Besides the special skills that come with it, is this also your advantage?"

Ryan muttered to himself as he looked up at the blood-red full moon hanging high in the sky.

Beside the blood-red full moon, a waning crescent moon still hung.

One is full, one is incomplete; one is red, one is white.

Two moons hung in the sky, one full and one crescent, reflecting each other in a bizarre and eerie scene that sent a chill down Ryan's spine.

Standing under the blood-red moonlight, he felt a chill run down his spine.

"That inexplicable babbling just now, did it come from the Blood Moon?"

Ryan felt heavy-hearted.

In just one night, or more precisely, in the short five hours since midnight, during his brief adventure in the land he was traveling, the Whirlpool Islands underwent some abrupt and dramatic change.

"Is it related to the special spirituality of the Forest of Roaring Gold - the Frenzied Moonlight?"

Ryan had no choice but to think that way.

Blood Moon... Chaotic Moonlight...

He would never believe that there was no connection between the two.

Ryan looked toward the deck not far away.

There, a dozen or so pirates sat back to back on the ground, their heads bowed as if they were asleep.

Upon closer inspection, one will find that the pirates' faces are covered with dark blue lines, a sign that the "curse mark" is in effect.

These pirates were the personnel responsible for patrolling tonight. Clearly, they were strongly affected by the Crimson Moonlight, so Freya had to take action, causing the "Curse Seal" to erupt and putting them into a deep sleep.

With a heavy heart, Ryan entered the captain's cabin.
