Baisha Town is a residential area on Baisha Island, with about eighty households and three to four hundred people.

At this moment, the tranquility of the past was shattered. The town was filled with fire, corpses, and thick smoke that could be seen from dozens of miles away.

Deep within the island lies a 100-meter-high cliff, from which one can overlook Baisha Town, the beach, the pier, and the boundless sea.

The blue-haired girl, who was on guard duty for the latter half of the night, was awakened by the sound of cannon fire. She stood up and saw a pirate ship attacking the town.

The girl looked anxious and quickly woke the sleeping old man, "Grandpa, something's happened in town!"

He was an old man with a full head of white hair, dressed in linen clothes.

He looked to be in his sixties or seventies, with a weathered face, but his body was very strong.

"Walk!"

The old man frowned, picked up the basket of herbs on the ground, and strode away, with the girl hurriedly following behind.

……

As dawn broke, the town's resistance weakened, with only the occasional sound of muskets rang out.

Inside the lower decks of the Red Pearl.

Feeling irritable, Roya decided to immerse himself in the panel of consciousness in order to distract himself.

He discovered that the dungeon's cooldown had ended, allowing the skeletons to continue leveling up in the dungeon.

Now, Roya needs strength. Every time the skeleton soldiers level up, the chance of defeating Johnny increases.

[Dungeon reset complete. Summoned creature: Skeleton Soldier]

The skeleton soldier Ah-Dai reappears in the deserted island jungle.

At this point, a level 5 skeleton soldier can kill a level 1 scimitar pirate in just two hits.

Ling Luoya quickly noticed something was wrong. He realized that the skeleton soldier's sword-wielding posture looked familiar, unlike before when it would just slash around aimlessly.

At this moment, Ah-Dai held the bone knife with both hands, raised it above his head, and faced the charging scimitar pirate, he slashed down with great force.

One strike is enough to bring the scimitar pirate to the ground, and a single follow-up strike will finish him off.

"That's right! This is a cleave!"

Luo Ya recalled that the Skeleton Soldier A'Dai's sword-wielding posture and momentum were exactly the same as the cleave attack used by Johnny in the dungeon, except that there was no white light.

As the skeleton soldier Ah-Dai cleaved his way from the jungle to the beach, he became increasingly skilled at using the cleave attack.

After Ah-Dai's level increased to 6, his cleave attack was also covered with a layer of dim white light.

With this one strike, a pirate armed with a musket was instantly cleaved in two.

At the same time, a notification popped up.

Your skeleton soldiers have learned the combat skill: Cleave.

Behind him, Ling Luoya's face was full of joy.

He never expected that Ah Dai would learn a combat technique he had only seen once, relying on his talent!

He misunderstood the skeleton soldier given as a gift by the panel; it wasn't a useless skeleton soldier, but a genius one!

Having dodged the three-round barrage of artillery fire from Artillery Chief Sam's supernatural ability, [Rapid Reload], Ah-Dai climbed back onto the deck.

Just like last time, Gunner Sam sent three gunner pirates to take his place while he fled to the cabin.

After the skeleton soldiers easily killed the three cannon pirates, Johnny from the dungeon emerged from the cabin again.

"Intruder, die!"

The dialogue was nothing new; Johnny from the dungeon swung his sword and charged in.

The skeleton soldier raised his bone sword to fight back, and the two began to clash.

The level 6 skeleton soldiers are still weaker than Johnny from the dungeon, but they are not as easily overwhelmed as they were last time.

Roya did not have the skeleton soldiers replace their bone swords. As the skeleton soldiers leveled up, their bone swords were also strengthened, becoming almost as good as the iron weapons like the pirate scimitars.

"hateful!"

As his health reached 150%, Johnny realized that the skeleton soldier was a formidable enemy and immediately used his combat skill.

"Cleave!"

Ah-Dai also raised his bone knife and countered with a slashing motion.

The steel longsword and bone knife, both covered in white light, clashed, and both were forced back three steps.

Roya noticed that the skeleton soldier's bone knife had an extra notch on the blade.

Johnny's steel longsword in the dungeon remains sharp and formidable.

Ah-Dai's bone knife was still somewhat inferior to the fine steel longsword.

The two clashed again, and Roya noticed that Johnny, who had used Cleave, was weaker afterward and was quickly attacked by the skeletons, causing his health to drop to 110%.

Ah-Dai still has 45% health remaining.

When Johnny's health dropped to 100%, he used his combat skill again: Cleave.

The skeletons also respond with a cleave attack.

When Johnny's health dropped to 50% in the instance, a negative status effect called "Fear" suddenly appeared after his name.

This resulted in Johnny's damage being reduced by half in the dungeon.

Previously, Johnny would lose 12% to 15% of his health after hitting Ah-Dai in the dungeon, but now he only loses 7%.

When Johnny's health dropped to 20%, Roya saw a chance to kill him.

A mutation occurred.

A bomb painted with a white skull rolled to the feet of the skeleton soldier, Ah-Dai.

Luo Ya wanted Ah Dai to jump back to avoid it, but it was too late; the fuse of the bomb had already burned out.

"boom!"

The bomb exploded, scattering Ah-Dai's body until he fell to the deck.

"Haha, well done, Sam!" Johnny laughed as he smashed Ah-Dai's head with a single blow.

Health depleted.

Roya was furious. He looked in the direction where the bomb had appeared and saw Artillery Chief Sam wearing a vest covered with skull and bomb designs.

Artillery Commander Sam (Elite), Level 6, 180% HP

[Sequence Potion - Gunner Apprentice]

……

Returning to the [Summoned Items] panel, Roya's emotions were still unsettled. If it weren't for Cannon Master Sam's intervention, Adai would have killed Johnny in the dungeon.

Roya checked the skeleton soldier's attribute panel.

Skeleton Soldier (Nickname: Silly)

Rank: Common

[Level: 6]

[Talent: Warrior Apprentice (Combat skill learning progress increased by 200%)]

[Weapon Art: Cleave Lv1]

……

It's still rudimentary. Although the panel doesn't display anything, its attributes will increase as Ah-Dai's level goes up.

Now, the time has come!

Roya's attention returned to the real world, and he opened his eyes.

The ship's cabins remained unchanged, with only the occasional sound of conversations coming from the upper decks, in addition to the sound of waves crashing against the shore.

Most of the pirates went out to plunder, and only a few unlucky pirates were assigned the task of guarding the ship and stayed on board.

Luo Ya stood up, his expression solemn, and pointed to the side, "Come out, you idiot!"

The skeleton soldier's figure transformed from illusion to reality, and Ah-Dai appeared in the real world from the [Summoned Items] panel.

Skeleton Soldier (Level 6)

Roya discovered that he could still command the skeleton soldiers with his mind.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind...

"boom!"

The skeleton soldier cleaved through the iron bars of the prison cell with a single slash, and walked out of the prison cabin with a "crackling" sound.

Roya stretched his limbs and then followed behind the skeleton soldier.

In addition to the prison cells, the lower deck also contained storage compartments for food and ammunition compartments for storing artillery shells.

The next level up was the sleeping pod for the pirates to rest and sleep.

Most of them were hammocks for ordinary pirates, while there were only a dozen or so wooden plank beds, which were used by the ship's skilled fighters, helmsmen, and cooks.

The sleeping pods didn't smell good; there were smelly clothes, stinky socks, and other things scattered everywhere.

Go up one more floor to the hall, which is the restaurant and the place where pirates used to hold banquets.

The two pirates who remained behind were playing a dice game on the table, with the loser having to drink. Both of them reeked of alcohol, but they were not drunk and remained sober.

Ah-Dai's movements were quite noisy, and the two pirates noticed something was wrong. They immediately picked up their scimitars and short-barreled muskets to be on guard.

When they saw the skeleton soldiers, they were stunned, and then Ah Dai killed them one by one with a single blow.

Even without using combat skills, a level 6 skeleton soldier can take down these low-level pirates with a single strike.
