This pirate only wants to farm.

Chapter 42 Corruption Has Changed

Lin Qi was holding a skull-shaped coconut and taking small sips when he suddenly heard a scraping sound coming from the depths of the forest on the island ahead. Looking up, he saw a scene that made his mouth drop open.

Elizabeth was carrying a mast and panting heavily, but her face was beaming with a genuine smile.

The other end of the mast dragged a deep trench in the ground, and some parts even developed cracks from the dragging.

Elizabeth noticed Lynch's gaze, so she slung the mast over her shoulder and waved to the Hades with one hand free: "Wangcai, I brought you a present!"

Wangcai had somehow gotten onto the ship's railing, baring his big teeth and bouncing around in front of Elizabeth, clearly enjoying the gift.

Just then, the second mate, Skull, returned from the island, carrying a large bundle and leaving the loot he had gathered on the deck.

Lin Qi's eyelids twitched, and he pointed in Elizabeth's direction, asking, "When did this silly girl become so strong?"

The second skeleton turned to look at Elizabeth, the soul fire in its head trembling twice. Then it looked down at the seemingly stronger calf and shrugged at Lynch.

Even ghosts don't know how she became so strong.

This was the first time Lynch had felt helpless with the second mate of the Skull Gang. He was somewhat surprised when he brought up Elizabeth's panel, and then he almost spat out his coconut water.

Name: Elizabeth Carter.

[Level: 15.]

[Position: Long-term laborer.]

[Status: Tired, Excited, Joyful.]

[Skills: Silver Moon Sword Technique Lv. 6, Water Blossom Dance Lv. 3, Unwavering Will Lv. 1, Danger Premonition Lv. 2, Luck Lv. 6. Stamina Enhancement Lv. 4, Strength Enhancement Lv. 6, Speed ​​Enhancement Lv. 4.]

What is that?

When did this silly girl get promoted three times in a row?

It's one thing to level up, but how come several of your skills have also leveled up?

Silver Moon Sword Skill leveled up two levels, Water Blossom Dance Step leveled up one level, Stamina Enhancement leveled up one level, and Strength Enhancement leveled up two levels...

"Is there any justice left in this world?"

Upon hearing Lynch's question, the second skeleton shrugged twice, drooped his head, clapped his hands and then spread them out, first pointing at Elizabeth and then at his own calf.

Is it strong?

I got it by trading my calf.

While the second mate, Skeleton, was still complaining to Lynch, Wangcai had already opened a large mouth from the side of the ship, allowing Elizabeth to extend the mast inside.

The sound of wood fibers snapping was incessant as Elizabeth pushed the massive mast little by little into the Hades.

As the sides of the ship gradually closed, a sound like chewing could be heard coming from inside the Hades.

Wangcai sat on the gunwale, patting his little belly with satisfaction, his eyes filled with indescribable contentment.

Elizabeth chuckled smugly, then turned to Lynch, asking expectantly, "Captain, is there anything else you need me to bring back?"

Lin Qi glanced at the various useful and useless odds and ends on the deck, his eyelids twitched twice, and he asked, "Excuse me, what else is on the ship?"

Elizabeth remained silent for a long while, her head bowed as if in recollection. After a long pause, she clapped her hands and said, "The ship is still there."

Lin Qi couldn't hold back any longer.

Last night, Lynch wanted Elizabeth to go to that ship and bring back anything usable. It didn't have to be much, just enough to improve their living conditions.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Lynch's plan, Elizabeth immediately began making bone meal fertilizer overnight, banging away on the deck late into the night.

Then, before the sun had even risen this morning, Elizabeth excitedly ran into the island.

Lin Qi didn't care much at first, he just thought the deck was a little noisy this morning, but when he saw those odds and ends, his head started buzzing.

There were tables, chairs, cabinets, wooden buckets and basins, and even two rugs...

Elizabeth brought back everything, usable and unusable. This wasn't a search for items; it was a house move for someone else.

Although Elizabeth moved a lot of useless stuff, she did improve the quality of life on the Hades.

For example, there's a bed that looks pretty good, at least much better than the one Lynch is sleeping in now.

Looking at Elizabeth's eager eyes, it seemed as if she couldn't wait to dismantle the ship docked on the island and bring it back.

Lin Qi quickly waved his hand: "Alright, alright, come back quickly. You've stayed on the island long enough. You'll find the rest in the Windless Sea. There's no need to waste time here."

Hearing Lynch say this, Elizabeth lowered her head in disappointment, but still obediently jumped into the sea and swam back to the Hades.

Lynch looked at Elizabeth climbing up and shook his head helplessly.

God knows how she went from being a noblewoman to becoming a genuine pirate.

Lynch realized that Elizabeth seemed quite interested in this kind of looting and plundering. She didn't seem tired at all and was actually enjoying it.

Elizabeth tossed her hair, stood on the ship's railing, and looked in the direction of the other ship. She sighed, "It's a pity that many items were damaged by the turbulence, and we don't have any tools to dismantle the ship. If only Wangcai could have gotten ashore too."

Lin Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Stop dreaming. Let's think about when the Underworld will be able to sail normally on the high seas first."

The ship was able to land on the island because it angered some being and was struck by a tsunami that shouldn't have appeared on a windless sea.

The current Hades can't even navigate autonomously.

Elizabeth clicked her tongue. "Captain, are we really just going to abandon that ship? I think we should be able to salvage a whole bow in less than a day."

Seeing that Elizabeth was still unwilling to give up, Lynch looked at her seriously: "If you don't want to become a corrupted and mutated monster, you'd better not have this kind of wishful thinking."

"The experience gained by the pirates of the Windless Sea is invisible and intangible. No one knows when corruption will occur, so never try to do anything on the island at the right time, understand?"

Seeing Lynch's serious expression, Elizabeth knew this was the captain's warning, so she quickly stood up straight and saluted: "Understood, Captain!"

This wasn't Lin Qi exaggerating. Although only half a day had passed, Lin Qi had a feeling that staying on this island would definitely not lead to anything good.

It's simply not worth taking such a risk for the sake of Wangcai's food.

Moreover, Lynch felt that his past experience in dealing with corruption and distortion was likely to gradually become ineffective.

All of this is also related to the souls that Lynch extracted from the skull coconut yesterday.

Extracting the soul of an undead creature is neither a skill nor an ability.

It was a talent that Lin Qi possessed from the moment he woke up in this world; it was an innate talent that could not be bridged by experience or hard work.

Moreover, even the panel cannot detect this talent.

When Lin Qi pulled the ghost from the coconut yesterday, he clearly sensed a chaotic, corrupting aura emanating from the skull coconut.

The reason why the Skull Coconut can give birth to the souls of undead creatures is because it absorbs the wandering souls of the dead from the sea.

This wasn't the first time Lynch had extracted souls to make lamp oil, but he had never sensed any chaotic or corrupting aura in the other souls.

If I'm not mistaken, the soul on the coconut should be a crew member of that ship.

This thing can even corrupt souls, which suggests that the so-called corruption tide has probably undergone some kind of change.

Lin Qi shook his head, no longer thinking about these things that only existed as speculation.

Lin Qi glanced at the mountain of items piled on the deck, thinking that the most important thing now was to reach the center of the Windless Sea. Lin Qi sighed softly and patted Wangcai's little head.

"Alright, it's time for us to get going."

"It's time to cultivate new farmland."
