Lu Ban was very confident in his hearing and he was sure that this was a human voice.
"Is it because they didn't bury it..."
Amber blushed and was a little overwhelmed.
"Hush."
Lu Ban pretended to be silent and put out the fire.
"Let's go and take a look."
Instead of leaving Amber there, he took her with him.
Otherwise, it would be funny if Lu Ban went to investigate and someone else stole Amber away from his house.
Amber's white socks had already become dirty, and she left tiny footprints on the sand.
Lu Ban thought about it, dragged a branch with leaves on it behind him, and messed up the two people's footprints as he walked.
The forests on the island are damp and wild, with thick spider webs and all kinds of strange-looking insects visible between the treetops.
Countless bugs would crawl out if you stepped on the ground covered with wet and rotten leaves. Besides that, the forest was constantly echoing with the cries of some wild beasts. The sounds of birds or other creatures fluttering in the treetops above one's head made one feel more and more uneasy.
This situation is very difficult for an innocent girl like Amber.
But she was clearly in the zone.
She rolled up her skirt and tied it into a knot, ignoring the dirt on her socks. Her face was stained with dirt and dust, and she looked unkempt.
But Lu Ban thought it looked much better than when it was clean.
Perhaps for any woman who is as pure as paper and as cold as ice, everyone hopes to see her fall into the mortal world.
Amber did not become a burden, and Lu Ban could move much more conveniently.
After walking for less than fifteen minutes, he saw some light in the sky ahead, which was the result of the light from the ground reflecting on the clouds.
It was obvious that there were people on this island.
Lu Ban recalled a movie he had seen before, in which several protagonists were stranded on a desert island after a plane crash. After experiencing a heart-wrenching realization of the human choices they had to make in order to survive in the wilderness, they discovered that there was a small town and a pier on the other side of their island.
It has the feel of a realistic satire novel.
But here, Lu Ban was very clear that the people living on this island far away from the mainland must not be good people.
Through the woods, Lu Ban's [True Vision] saw several houses, a simple dock, and some boats.
This ship is a classic two-masted sailing ship with rotating cannons and other firepower equipment. A skull flag is hung on the main mast.
Obviously, this is a pirate ship.
This should be where the pirates sorted their supplies, and perhaps some legendary treasure was buried here.
Lu Ban made a quick count and found that there were about twenty people walking around on the boat alone. A ship like this would require at least forty people to operate, plus the pirates who stayed on the ground for supplies, recuperation, and guarding, totaling at least sixty people.
There are only two people on Lu Ban's side.
The advantage is mine.
Lu Ban glanced at Amber beside him.
"What kind of words can you use? Uh, that one is a bit harmful to the body. Can you use some kind of spell to support me, such as invisibility so that people can't see me?"
"There is no such technique..."
Amber sighed, wondering if Lu Ban had any misunderstanding about the technique.
"The materials for the ritual must be prepared in advance and arranged according to the prescribed method. In order to achieve the best results, there are strict requirements, so the threshold for the ritual is lower. There are many people who can use the ritual, but few who can use the Word Spirit..."
Lu Ban interrupted Amber's lengthy, old lady-like explanation.
"Leica."
Lu Ban called out, and the Corgi immediately appeared beside him.
At a time like this, it would be better to let Leica go and gather intelligence first.
After receiving the order, Laika immediately rushed down the hillside.
Lu Ban saw that the corgi with fat on its belly was like a god of war, moving forward while extending its tentacles and eyeballs. In a blink of an eye, a burst of fire appeared and many pirates died, becoming Laika's midnight snack.
But soon, these pirates chose to surrender.
Just imagine, an indescribable monster covered with tentacles and eyeballs suddenly rushes in in the middle of the night and starts killing people indiscriminately. No normal person can withstand it.
“The advantage is huge.”
Lu Ban concluded.
"???"
Amber looked at the ferocious hound and recalled the experience of hugging it to sleep at night. Suddenly, the hairs on her back stood up.
Lu Ban walked down with Amber and saw the pirates' eyes filled with fear, awe and despair.
"Where is your boss?"
Lu Ban asked.
The pirates looked at each other, and finally, one of them pointed at Amber next to Lu Ban.
"You guys are pretty good at being human, but I don't want this kind of flattery. Where is your previous boss?"
Lu Ban asked again.
The man pointed at Amber, then looked at Laika who had turned back into a corgi, swallowed, and spoke.
"Under your feet."
Amber quickly raised her feet and moved away from the blurry flesh and blood that she thought was mud.
"Oh, then you, tell me about your situation."
Lu Ban said.
I was worried about how to find a way to get to Hedao Island, but now I have the boat and the people.
In fact, as long as there is a ship and a nautical chart, Lu Ban can use [Last Words] to make the ship move and move in the designated direction. The sailors are just decorations, and the bigwigs above will not understand.
"We, we are active in the waters around here. Normally, we collect protection fees from passing ships. We usually don't kill people, we don't kill people!"
The sailor's voice trembled.
"Hurry up and get the boat ready."
Lu Ban did not dwell on the issue of whether to kill or not, but instead called on these pirates to resupply the ship.
While letting Laika supervise the men moving food, water, etc. onto the pirate ship, Lu Ban found a set of clean clothes and shoes for Amber. Of course, there were no women among the pirates, and all the clothes were a little big for her. Moreover, she only wore pants and leather boots on the sea, which covered her legs. She looked more like a junior high school student playing cosplay than a vicious pirate.
By the time everything was done, it was almost early the next morning.
Lu Ban got the nautical chart and found that he was at the intersection of two waterways, just one step away from the Sea of Ashes.
Pretty good luck.
When the sun rose again, Lu Ban and Amber came onto the boat, and he glanced at the eager-eyed pirates on the beach.
"Sir, kind sir, won't you take ours with you? We can sail the boat and help you steer it."
The leading sailor shouted and asked.
There are only two people on Lu Ban. Even if they don't fire the cannons, it will take more than 20 people to sail the boat. What are they doing on the boat?
"No."
Lu Ban waved towards the pirates.
Then, [Last Words] shot the bullet of words at the ship, causing it to sail towards the depths of the sea without wind.
"???"
The pirates looked at their ship going away, full of questions.
