By the time Li Ke reached their ship, his physical strength had been completely exhausted. The feeling of his ascendant's power being drained made him dizzy. He fell to the beach involuntarily and crashed into a large group of small animals. Sarah, who was in his arms, flew out and rolled several times on the beach.
"Ah …"
Li Ke only wanted to have a good sleep and eat more, but the most important thing now was to find a way to leave this island that had become a battlefield. Suppressing his exhaustion, he placed his hand on the beach. Then, he touched a small crab that was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws at him. When he looked at the unlucky little guy speechlessly, the crab waved its pincers at him as if it was trying to show off its power.
"What a mess."
Li Ke threw the little guy into the sea, then struggled to stand up and looked at Sarah, who was breathing slowly below. Perhaps it was because of the way she was thrown, the other party's clothes were torn apart, revealing a large amount of snow-white material and some red things. Li Ke walked over helplessly and wanted to button up her shirt, only to find that the buttons on her shirt were completely destroyed.
Li Ke fastened the shirt and hid the things that represented civilization and power. Then, he sat on the beach again to recover his physical strength.
He never thought that he would be bombarded by so many artillery shells, and he was almost exhausted because of it. This made him more cautious about the rest of the journey. Although he was carrying a burden, if cannons could make him miserable, what about more advanced weapons? Would he be able to kill him before he could react?
"Ha, that's because you're too weak!"
Yatox's voice sounded.
"If you give up on the person beside you, then you can use your magic to maintain the shield indefinitely and kill everyone there!"
Yatox was talking about something that Li Ke could definitely do. As long as there were people alive, with Li Ke's magic, he did not have to care about the falling cannonballs at all. As long as he found an opportunity, he could rush to the ships carrying countless cannons and start a massacre. Even if the enemy detonated the ammunition depot, they might not be able to kill him. In fact, even now, he could go back and kill all the pirates there in this way.
But Li Ke was too lazy to explain to Yatox. He knew the reason why Yatox refused to help him at the critical moment. Yatox wanted him to use more of the ascender's power and get addicted to it. Then, he would fall into his trap and let Yatox take away his will of soul.
He had read many stories about this. It was really difficult to fool him.
"If you don't understand, then think of it as me wanting to make love with this woman."
Li Ke stood up, carried Sarah, and walked toward their ship. But what surprised him was that there were indeed a large number of craftsmen on their ship. They were repairing the stern that was bitten by the giant sea beast so that the missing corner of the hull would not be flooded by the waves. Although the craftsmen looked at the smoke-filled town and the big ships docked at the port nervously, they didn't stop their work and continued to repair the ship diligently.
"Cough, cough …"
While Li Ke was thinking about how to get in touch with them, Sarah, who was in his arms, coughed a few times and woke up. She looked a little dizzy and it was apparent that she still hadn't realized where she was. It took a lot of effort for her to sit on the beach with Li Ke's help. Then, under the bewildered gazes of the craftsmen, she gasped for breath and grabbed Li Ke's clothes while speaking.
"… Please find me a bottle of wine."
After speaking, she covered her head and fell to the ground. During this time, she spat out a mouthful of blood. It was obvious that the shock wave just now had injured her internal organs. Li Ke let her lie on the ground and sensed her vitality. After confirming that she wouldn't die while he was away, he walked toward his ship. But as soon as he stepped on the footboard, the craftsmen who were repairing the ship pulled out their pistols and pointed their muzzles at Li Ke.
"Wait! Who are you! "
Li Ke raised his eyebrows, pointed at himself, and then at the ship.
"Obviously, I'm the owner of this ship."
Hearing Li Ke's reply, the carpenters who were repairing the ship glanced at each other. The leader moved his pistol and aimed it at Li Ke's head. The other carpenters also took out their pistols and aimed at Li Ke.
"Sorry, but this ship is now ours."
There was no trace of unnaturalness in his tone, as if the ship originally belonged to them. Before Li Ke could speak, he continued.
"So, I have to ask you to die."
Gunshots rang out instantly, and Li Ke immediately retreated like a sharp arrow. He used the Yatokus in front of him to block all the bullets flying towards him. Then, without waiting for these people to fire a second shot, he carried Sarah away from their ship and hid in the woods.
"Should we give chase?"
Seeing that they couldn't kill Li Ke, one of the craftsmen asked. The leader shook his head and refused his request. Instead, he stared at the direction where Li Ke left, guarding against Li Ke's sudden attack.
"No, the most important thing is to repair this ship as soon as possible and then leave this place. Since Planck came to attack this place, it means that he wants to clean up Rotten Nose's forces. So, let's not waste any more time."
After saying that, he picked up a hammer with his companions and sped up their repair speed. After 20 minutes, they successfully nailed the last plank and painted it with waterproof paint. But because their leader had an ominous feeling, he didn't let his men paint it. Instead, he worked together to push the stranded ship back to the sea, then prepared to board it and leave.
But when they were about to do so, a series of undisguised footsteps appeared behind them. When the craftsmen raised their guns and looked behind them, they saw Li Ke taking the Yatox off his back.
"Thank you for repairing my ship. Now, it's time for me to pay you!"
Li Ke's voice was as cold as frost. And the payment he wanted to pay …
Was called death.
