Great Voyage: My Summoned Creatures Can Level Up While Idle

The skeleton soldiers neither dodged nor evaded; facing the pirates' attack, they raised their bone knives in retaliation.

Two curved blades struck the skeleton soldier's breastbone, cracking the bone and sending bone fragments flying. One-fifth of the skeleton soldier's health bar instantly disappeared.

The skeleton soldier's counterattack landed on a pirate, reducing the pirate's health by only one-tenth.

Oops!

Upon seeing this, Luo Ya's heart sank.

Skeleton soldiers are no match for pirates; even after trading blows, the skeleton soldiers still lose.

He tried using his mind to make the skeletons run.

To Roya's surprise, the skeleton soldiers actually stopped attacking and turned to run away.

The attack missed, and the scimitar pirates, seeing the fleeing skeleton soldiers, gave chase stiffly, one after the other.

Stop.

As soon as the spirit-like Roya spoke, the skeleton soldiers stopped in their tracks.

attack!

As Roya silently chanted in his mind, the skeleton soldier turned and swung his sword, striking the pursuing pirate squarely.

Seeing that the skeleton soldier was about to trade blows with the pirate again, Roya quickly commanded it to keep running.

The skeleton soldiers fled again.

Roya discovered that he could command the skeleton soldiers whether he spoke aloud or silently recited their commands.

After a series of skillful maneuvers and skirmishes in the jungle, the skeleton soldier, with only 20% health remaining, killed the two pirates.

[Defeat the Scimitar Pirate, experience points +1]

[Defeat the Scimitar Pirate, experience points +1]

The pirate's body lay on the ground, but did not disappear.

The skeleton soldier was covered in cracks and looked like it could collapse at any moment.

After defeating monsters in the dungeon, you only gain experience points; no items drop.

He was very curious about this instance world, so he simply let the skeleton soldiers try it out one by one.

"Drop the bone knife and replace it with a pirate's weapon."

The skeleton soldier immediately dropped the cracked and nicked bone knife in his hand, and then picked up the scimitar used by the pirate on the ground.

I didn't expect it to actually work!

Roya's eyes lit up, and he continued to have the skeleton soldiers try, "looting the corpses."

But the command baffled the skeleton soldier. It tilted its head, stretched out its bone hand, and touched the pirate's corpse twice.

"..."

Helpless, Roya could only patiently command the skeleton soldiers.

While the skeleton soldiers possess some intelligence, it is limited. They cannot comprehend the action of reaching inside clothing to pull something out, and instead directly rip out the heart of the pirate's corpse.

After struggling for a while, Roya finally had to give up, and the pirate's body, which was too badly damaged, turned to ashes and disappeared.

From now on, you'll be called Ah-Dai.

Roya shook his head helplessly. He noticed that the skeleton soldier's health bar had fully recovered. Although the entire skeleton's body was still full of cracks, it could continue fighting.

"Click-clack~"

Skeleton Soldier Adai continued on his way and soon encountered two more pirate minions wandering in the jungle.

This time, Roya didn't send the skeleton soldiers to charge in and start killing. Instead, he picked up a stone and threw it in the direction of the pirates.

"Thump!"

The stone landed three meters away from a pirate monster. The pirate looked at the stone in confusion, then looked in the direction it was pointing and immediately saw a skeleton soldier.

A red exclamation mark appeared above the pirate's head. He grinned maliciously and charged towards the skeleton soldier.

Hearing the commotion, another pirate was also drawn over.

Roya made the skeleton soldiers turn around and run away, repeating the same sneaky tactic as before: circling around, slashing once and then running away.

Using this method, the skeleton soldiers eliminated the ten pirates roaming the deserted island jungle one by one.

No items dropped, only experience points.

As the tenth pirate fell, a light shone from the skeleton soldier, and it leveled up!

Skeleton Soldier (Level 2)

The health bar increased by 10%, and the body, which was full of cracks, seemed to have reversed time, completing the repair and returning to its original state.

This way, we don't have to wait for the skeleton soldiers to recover from their injuries and be able to continue fighting.

There were no more pirates roaming in the jungle, but outside the jungle was a beach where many pirates roamed.

In addition to the pirates wielding knives, a new type of pirate has been added, carrying a short-barreled smoothbore musket.

[Armored Pirate, Level 1, 100% HP]

Have the skeleton soldiers throw stones from a distance to attract the pirates on the outermost edge of the beach.

A scimitar pirate and a musket pirate were drawn in.

The scimitar pirate approached with a sinister grin, while the musket pirate raised his short-barreled musket and fired at the skeleton soldiers.

With a gunshot, a lead bullet flew out.

One of the skeleton's ribs was broken, and the impact made it stagger and almost fall to the ground.

That single shot dealt more damage than two scimitar pirates combined, reducing the skeleton soldier's health by 30% in just one shot.

To Roya's relief, the short-barreled muskets used by the musket pirates were not repeating fire; after each shot, they needed to be reloaded with black powder and lead bullets.

The skeleton soldiers pulled the scimitar pirates into the jungle, while Roya focused his attention on the musket pirates, observing the time it took them to reload.

Thirty seconds later, the musket pirates finished reloading and fired again.

The skeleton soldiers ran through the jungle, but the lead bullets missed.

The musket-wielding pirates reloaded their ammunition.

Two minutes later, after killing the scimitar pirate, the skeleton soldier strode towards the musket pirate who was reloading his ammunition.

During this time, the musket pirate fired a total of four shots, two of which missed, and one shot hit the scimitar pirate, dealing 10% of his health as damage and causing him to stagger.

The shot hit the skeleton soldier, reducing its health to 30%.

Faced with the skeleton soldiers right in his face, the musket pirate stopped reloading and drew the dagger from his waist. With a musket in one hand and a dagger in the other, he traded blows with the skeleton soldiers.

The musket pirates deal very low melee damage, reducing skeleton soldiers' health by only 5% per hit.

After the skeleton soldier struck him four times, the musket pirate screamed and fell to the ground.

[Defeat the Scimitar Pirate, experience points +1]

[Defeat the musket-wielding pirate, experience points +2]

The musket pirates gain 1 more experience point than the scimitar pirates.

After the battle ended, Roya immediately ordered the skeleton soldiers to retrieve the pirate's musket.

Unfortunately, the skeleton soldiers are so stupid that they don't even know how to loot a corpse, let alone understand how to load lead bullets and gunpowder.

It's just a short-handled fire poker in your hand, and it doesn't even do as much damage as the bone knife that the skeleton soldier comes with.

Have the skeletons discard their short-barreled muskets, and wait until their health is fully restored before continuing to fight.

As long as you don't attract more than two musket pirates at once, the skeleton soldiers can take them down by maneuvering and kiting.

After several hours, the pirates on the beach were finally cleared out, and the skeleton soldiers were upgraded to level 3.

With a flash of light, the skeleton soldier's health bar increased by 10%, and its bones seemed to have reversed time, returning to their original state.

Whether it was a misperception or not, Roya felt that the skeleton soldier seemed to have grown a little taller, and the bones on its body had turned a bit whiter.

By this time, the monsters in the jungle and on the beach had all been cleared out, and several hours had passed without any pirates respawning, and they probably wouldn't.

Luo Ya's gaze fell on the nearshore waters two hundred meters away, where pirates were seen loitering on the deck of the Red Pearl.

Data about the Red Pearl that his predecessor knew flashed through his mind.

The Red Pearl was 42.5 meters long, 9.2 meters wide, and 4.8 meters high, with a waterline length of 34 meters. It had a full load displacement of 630000 pounds and a double-layered oak hull that was 15 centimeters thick, with the gun emplacement area reinforced to 25 centimeters.

……

The skeleton soldiers showed no fear as they stepped into the sea and headed towards the ship.

The seawater was not deep; at first, it only reached the skeleton soldiers' calves, and then gradually rose to their waists.

After walking through 30 meters of seawater, Roya suddenly heard a roar.

With a sharp whistling sound as the air was torn apart, a solid cannonball as thick as a bowl fell from the sky and smashed into the skeleton soldier.

The skeleton soldier's health was instantly depleted, and then it fell apart.

In the final darkness, Roya saw a group of figures on the deck operating a smoking cannon.
