The three black cats always manage to come back to life unharmed.

It wasn't until the ninth time, when Ye Li killed the three black cats again, that their corpses turned into a wisp of gray mist and disappeared completely.

"Cats really do have nine lives!"

Ye Li took a deep breath and carefully observed his surroundings.

After confirming that the three black cats had not reappeared.

Only then did he cautiously walk into the cabin.

The conditions inside the cabin were even worse than outside, with everything in a state of disrepair.

Some walls even have many scratches, knife marks, and bullet holes.

The ground was covered in dust and cobwebs, exuding an air of decay.

In some corners, you can even see bones that have long since dried out.

Judging from the teeth marks on it, it must be the "masterpiece" of those cats.

"Master, this ship must be haunted often!" the little stone monkey whispered.

"Perhaps!"

Ye Li responded with a faint sound.

The ground was covered in dust.

But there were only cat paw prints on the dust.

But no human footprints can be seen.

Ye Li walked to a door.

Gently push the door open.

A putrid, damp smell immediately filled the room.

There was also a lot of dust on the door.

Ye Li waved his hand.

Disperse the fallen dust.

I went into the room and checked it out.

Judging from the facilities inside.

This should be the crew's dormitory.

The bed has three layers: upper, middle, and lower.

There are four beds in total.

It can accommodate twelve people.

There is a long table in the middle.

There were also a bunch of playing cards, mahjong tiles, and wine bottles scattered on top.

There are also some wardrobes in the room.

Ye Li tumbled a few times.

Aside from some clothes, there are shoes.

Finally, Ye Li found a small iron box in the corner of a wardrobe.

This metal box looks quite old; the surface is rusty, but it's not locked.

Ye Li opened the iron box.

There was no golden glitter.

Inside, there was only one jade tablet.

Ye Li didn't understand things like jade.

However, in terms of texture and workmanship...

It must be quite valuable.

Ye Li picked up the jade tablet and examined it carefully.

【Sea God Jade Pendant】

[Quality: Perfect]

[Description: This ornament is carved from a very rare type of jade and is extremely valuable. Legend has it that this jade pendant was blessed by the sea god, and wearing it at sea will bring the sea god's protection.]

[...]

"Heh, all those who were being protected are dead!"

A cold smile appeared on Ye Li's lips.

Previously, he was a staunch materialist.

Although things are a bit shaky now.

However, Ye Li didn't believe in any so-called protection at all.

One must be strong to forge iron.

You can't rely on others at all.

He glanced around the room one last time; there was no longer any point in searching.

Ye Li put the jade pendant into his spatial ring, left the room, and continued walking towards the back of the cabin.

Along the way, Ye Li passed by several more dormitories with multiple occupants.

Most of the dormitory doors were open, and the layouts inside were almost identical, all showing signs of dilapidation and disorder.

Finally, Ye Li arrived at a single dormitory room.

The door was ajar, and the living facilities inside were equally dilapidated.

The bed sheet was stained with blood that had long since dried.

Scattered around the bed were bones that had been gnawed into pieces.

The skull is the most eye-catching part.

The skull is wearing a one-eyed eye patch.

It was exactly the same as the one-eyed pirate who had been shouting on the bow of the ship earlier.
