After going into the sea, I met Miss Witch

[Black Rose], in the second mate's room.

Lying on the wooden bed, Ryan slowly opened his eyes, with a dull look in his eyes. After a while, he recovered.

"Male Fire Dragon Leader, it's you again!"

He gritted his teeth, angry.

For three consecutive days, his travels ended with tragic deaths at the claws of male fire dragons. This monster seemed to have set its sights on him. Not only did it often hover over the ancient forest area for hunting, but as long as he finished fighting with other special species, the male fire dragon leader who noticed the fluctuation would appear at the fastest speed and attack him, as if he regarded him as a "thief".

Thanks to this, Ryan had a lot of understanding of the male fire dragon leader's habitual moves, and the time he could hold on also went from a few seconds at the beginning to nearly a minute later.

Unfortunately, the gap between him and the male fire dragon leader is still huge. Although he has survived for a little longer, it is still almost impossible to defeat the male fire dragon leader.

"Huh..."

After a long breath, Ryan looked inside himself and his eyes fell on the two extra trophies on the mast of the [Unknown Ship Sculpture] deep inside his body.

Those were the "medals" he won by defeating the [Fire Monster Bird] and the [Big Wild Boar King]!

Their names are [Trophies: Fire Monster Beak] and [Trophies: Broken Giant Fangs].

The Fire Monster Bird is a bird dragon species that is several times larger than the Fire Umbrella Bird. Unlike the "slender" Fire Umbrella Bird, this guy has a very large tonnage, which also means that although it has wings, its flying ability is not very good. At most, it can fly for a while before landing.

In addition, its body is covered with scales, and its beak is so huge that it can even be regarded as a big hammer. Ryan was hit by it during the battle, and the feeling was quite sour.

As for the other monster, the Great Boar King.

This guy is an enlarged version of the Great Boar, with a shoulder height of nearly three meters. You know, this is shoulder height. The pair of white and huge fangs are like a spear in the hands of a knight when they collide. They are indestructible.

Ryan didn't dare to fight it head-on, so he could only use a roundabout and constantly turning method to force the Great Boar King to stop charging, and finally hunted it.

[Trophies: Fire Monster Beak]: Bronze-level trophy, the large beak of the fire monster bird, the pale yellow beak, and deep sword marks remain. Attached special skill [Attack lv.1]: All damage caused +5%.

[Trophies: Broken Giant Fangs]: Bronze-level trophy, the large fangs that the Great Boar King is proud of are the symbol of its military power. Special skill attached [Physical Strength lv.1]: +5% additional vitality limit.

The trophies obtained from hunting the Fire Bird and the Queen of the Wild Boar, and the attached special skills, are very simple and crude.

The former immediately improves Ryan's frontal combat power, while the latter, the so-called "vitality", in layman's terms, makes Ryan harder to die.

In addition to the trophies, the biggest gain of Ryan's three-day journey is that the level of his travel clone has been improved again.

——

[Level]: 8 (46%)

[Spiritual Value]: 15635→25635

[Spirituality]: 2.5

[Physique]: 12.66→16.16

[Loot]: Crimson Horn (Craftsmanship lv.1), Electric Needle (Attribute Resistance lv.1), Fish Dragon Heart Scale (Fire Attribute Resistance lv.1), Fire Umbrella Crown (Concentration lv.1), Fire Monster Beak (Attack lv.1), Broken Giant Fang (Physique lv.1)

——

The improvement of the level of the Wandering Avatar has led to a further increase in the strength of Ryan's original body.

His original body's [Physique] attribute has increased from "3.43" to "4.33".

Although the spirituality is still the same as before, only 1.3, with such a strong physique, the combat power of the original body has begun to exceed the scope of the first level.

If the enemy judges his strength by the strength of his spirituality, his end will inevitably be very miserable.

"Huh..."

With a long sigh, Ryan looked at the morning light flowing in from the porthole, got out of bed, tied up his sword, and then walked out of the room.

The bright sunshine shone on his face the moment he opened the door, and the cry of seabirds brought a long-lost sense of liveliness.

When he came to the deck, Ryan saw Furenee standing at the bow not far away and Cecilia beside her.

After several days of recuperation, the knight girl's complexion was no longer so pale, but the sense of old age in her eyes did not alleviate at all, but tended to worsen.

Ryan was gloomy, but he quickly adjusted his mood and walked forward.

"Good morning, Lady Freni."

"Good morning, Miss Cecilia."

"Morning~"

Freni smiled, and she seemed to be in a particularly good mood today: "Mr. Ryan, in ten hours, we will reach the Whirlpool Islands?"

"If the records on the sea chart are correct." Ryan walked to the bulwark beside the two women and looked at the sea ahead.

After a long sea voyage, after the initial excitement, all that was left was boredom.

When he thought that he would soon reach the Whirlpool Islands, even a guy like Ryan who had a rich "night life" could not help but feel relieved.

"What are your plans after arriving at the Whirlpool Islands?" Ryan asked.

Hearing this, Freni pursed her plump lips and shook her head: "How can there be any plans when the information is unknown."

Ryan said in a deep voice: "Lord Freni, it is foreseeable that as the Moon Wolf incident ferments, a large number of pirates will gather on the Whirlpool Islands. Those guys with low bounties in the offshore area don't matter, but I'm afraid that those big pirates outside the offshore area will also come here to get a piece of the pie."

"Plus the threat of the Black Knights... We need to be cautious if we want to plot the Moon Wolf."

"I understand." Freni nodded gently.

"By the way, Miss Cecilia." Ryan turned his gaze to the knight girl beside him: "When you arrive at the Whirlpool Islands, try not to expose yourself to others. You must not take action in your current situation."

"..." Cecilia lowered her head and remained silent. After a few seconds, she nodded slightly.

After a conversation, the two women returned to the captain's room, and Ryan continued to stay on the bow deck, ensuring the correct course while practicing storm sword skills.

Time passed by little by little.

When the sun moved from the east to the west and the dim afterglow covered the entire sea, Ryan finally saw the outline of a huge archipelago in the mist in the distance.

Indistinctly, other ships were heading towards the archipelago in other directions.

"Whirlpool Islands..."

At some point, Freni appeared beside Ryan, looking into the distance with him, her tone full of excitement.

"Yes, Whirlpool Islands, we're almost there."

Ryan repeated, confirming Freni's words.
