Skill extraction starting from Dragon Clan

As Jason expected, after hearing that Heracles had joined the fleet, famous heroes from surrounding countries came to the port to apply to join the fleet.

In just a few days, Jason has already recruited most of the people, and people from further away are coming one after another after hearing the news. It is estimated that the ship will be dispatched in a few days.

Among the heroes who joined the fleet, Zheng Shu also met an old friend of his.

"Yo, Ta-meow."

Hearing this familiar title, Atalanta's ears suddenly stood up, but she hesitated after turning her head and seeing the image of Zheng Shu.

"...Zheng Shu?"

"That's right, it's only been a few years, don't you already know me?"

Zheng Shu smiled and patted her shoulder, but of course he didn't dare to use too much force, and then looked at Atalanta again.

Generally speaking, Atalanta's image has changed quite a bit. The girl who was originally a little childish has now matured into a beautiful beauty.

In order to facilitate hunting, she had her long, smooth green hair tied into a bun, an ivory quiver hung on her shoulder, and she held the bow in her right hand, her face rosy.

Because she is dressed in a neutral style and has a heroic spirit about her, it is not easy to identify Atalanta's gender at first glance. In the eyes of men, she looks like a beauty, and in the eyes of women, she looks like a handsome man.

Zheng Shu's eyes unconsciously glanced at the long bow in her hand, and she felt the familiar aura of divine power on it. The inconspicuous long bow that seemed to be made of tree branches should have been given to Artemis by the moon god Artemis. Taranta's weapon.

Atalanta also stared at Zheng Shu for a while, and finally found the familiar feeling in his smile.

"It's really you... No! It's only been a few years. It shouldn't be possible for normal humans to change so much, right?!"

"Really? Maybe it's because it's in the growth stage these past few years, so it's growing a little faster."

Zheng Shu smiled and vaguely answered the question.

"So you want to go to sea too? What do you plan to do?"

"Of course I want to accomplish great things and improve my reputation!"

Atalanta answered matter-of-factly, and Zheng Shu couldn't help but touch his forehead after hearing this.

"What a standard answer. Have you guys never thought carefully about it?"

Well, Zheng Shu also knew that he had made the mistake of empiricism in his previous life. For this group of powerful heroes, even if the ship sank at sea, they could still swim to the next island with their own arms.

But no matter what, these so-called heroes are quite reckless to go to sea for just such a reason.

Or is it because the gods at the top are all reckless, so the heroes below are also infected?

While thinking, Zheng Shu suddenly felt an angry gaze staring at him. When he looked down, Atalanta was staring at him menacingly because of what he just said.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I was talking out of my mind. How about I treat you to barbecue?"

"OK!"

Atalanta's eyes lit up. As a hunter who grew up in the jungle, she had a very high opinion of others inviting her to eat food.

"Then let you see my barbecue skills!" Zheng Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course he had his own purpose for coming to Atalanta and inviting her to eat. In addition to meeting his old friend and wanting to chat, he also wanted to relieve the shock he had suffered in the past few days.

That’s right, it’s “scared.”

The main source of fright was Hercules. They hadn't discovered it at first, but when they arrived on the ship, Zheng Shu suddenly discovered that Hercules was with his followers every day.

While his scalp was numb, Zheng Shu also thought of a description in the myth, which should be Heracles's lover and follower: Hyras.

Well, that's right, Xuelas, gender male.

what's the situation? Is it because Hercules had so much male hormone that all the people who saw less male hormone than him were female?

What Vanma Hercules.

After being silent for a long time, Zheng Shu finally remembered that this was ancient Greece.

As a descendant of Zeus, Hercules was actually only a man of both sexes, which could even be considered a form of restraint.

However, I understand that as a pure and upright man, Zheng Shu really couldn't accept this kind of thing, so he could only silently distance himself from Hercules.

He now understood why when he met Hercules in the Holy Grail War, he said that he did not have any sparring with him afterwards.

Now that a beautiful woman like Ta Miao finally arrived, Zheng Shu couldn't wait to get close to her to relieve the psychological trauma he had suffered during this period.

"Hey, kid!"

"Um?"

Just as the two were about to leave the port, someone suddenly stopped them.

Looking back, a strong man no less tall than Zheng Shu stepped out of the crowd and came to him.

Feeling the hostility coming from the other party, Zheng Shu blinked and roughly understood what was going on.

In the past few days, because of the reputation of Heracles, these heroes who came here have been fighting to get on the ship, and there are also strong guys among them, such as the person in front of them.

It seems that because he couldn't get a spot, he wanted to try Zheng Shu, a person who had never shown his strength, to see if he could make a breakthrough.

"I heard that you boarded the ship directly without passing the test?" The strong man carried a huge double-sided battle ax on his shoulders, with a disdainful smile on his face, "Let me see if you are..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zheng Shu raised a finger, and a slender red magic cannon shot out from the fingertip, grazing the opponent's face as accurately as a laser.

After wiping a blood mark on the strong man's face, he easily shot off the double-sided battle ax carried on his shoulder, and then the light cannon disappeared into the mountain nest in the distance.

boom! ! !

There was a violent explosion, followed by bright firelight and thick smoke, and the hot shock wave could still be felt after crossing several kilometers.

"Gudong..."

The sound of uniform swallowing came from the crowd. Even if they didn't look back, they knew that the explosion just now was caused by the inconspicuous light cannon on Zheng Shu's finger.

The strong man's head looked back as if it was rusty. The originally green mountains suddenly had a huge crater like a crater. The inside of the crater was still glowing with red light. Was it still there? Magma that has not completely cooled down.

His legs went weak, and the strong man sat down on the ground. Looking back, he saw that Zheng Shu and Atalanta had left the place at some point. Only then did he feel relieved, knowing that he had survived.

The crowd also seemed a little silent. Some people who were confused after seeing the strong man's behavior also silently collected their thoughts and obediently walked to the side to sign up and lined up.

"Wow... It seems that my junior brother is really not an easy person."

Jason, who was on the ship now, was a little surprised when he saw this scene. Although he knew that Zheng Shu was also Chiron's apprentice, he didn't expect that the other party was so strong. It seemed that he was on par with Krakulles.

After being surprised, Jason felt excited. With the help of two powerful men, Zheng Shu and Heracles, his plan to obtain the Golden Fleece should be foolproof.

…

…

A few days later, the ship was completely built as planned. Jason led all the members to worship Poseidon, the god of the sea, and then set sail.

When all the heroes were in position in the ship, Jason gave the order and they pulled anchor and set sail.

Fifty oars that could never be wielded by ordinary people rowed together, and the big ship rode the wind and waves forward, and soon the port of Iolkas was left far behind.

The heroes were high-spirited, and their physical fitness far beyond that of ordinary people brought a terrifying driving force. It was obviously just a human-powered sailboat, but it sailed as fast as a speedboat, sailing quickly across the islands and mountains.

However, enthusiasm is an emotion that is consumed quickly. Within a few days, these admired heroes on the ship had lost their initial passion, and seemed to have nothing to do except shaking the oars at a fixed time.

For some young, strong and energetic men, doing nothing means easily causing trouble.

"This is already the third fight..."

Jason stood on the deck and sighed as he looked at the heroes below who were cleaning up the blood.

Less than half a month had passed since leaving the port. Jason could clearly feel the impetuous mood of everyone on the ship. If it weren't for the fact that everyone was a hero with rough skin and thick flesh, according to the standards of such a fight, There may have been casualties long ago.

"And...if I continue to eat grilled fish, I will probably be irritable."

It is too difficult to expect a group of heroes who spend money lavishly and hold banquets every day to have a sense of thrift. Although the supplies in the ship are rich, they have been consumed by the heroes in the name of holding banquets in less than a week after traveling.

Except for the necessary fresh water and seasonings, all the food has been consumed. In the past few days, they can only rely on fishing to supplement their food.

Fortunately, there were enough fish and sea beasts in the Age of Gods, and they had sacrificed to Poseidon before setting off, so they didn't have to worry about food.

It's just that after eating fish for several days in a row, Jason felt that his whole body was almost marinated.

"We can't go on like this... It seems we can only ask Lord Poseidon again."

Jason knew the temperament of these heroes very well. Most of them could be said to be indolent. In such a difficult environment, problems would probably arise within a few days.

Fortunately, the sacrifice was relatively effective. Of course, it may also be because Poseidon gave Athena face.

On the second day after completing the sacrifice, there was a strong wind on the sea, and the rough waves carried them all the way to the port of Lemnos Island.

"There's an island!"

The hero in charge of the lookout sent exciting news. Surrounded by everyone, Jason also stood on the plywood, holding hands and looking at the port in the distance.

Zheng Shu, who had been studying magic in his room, also heard the commotion, so he went outdoors and saw more information with the help of his vision, which was far superior to others.

"Huh? Why are the people on the shore full of women? Have we arrived in the Amazon?"

Looking at the women who were fully armed and waiting on the coast, Zheng Shu scratched his head in confusion.

As the distance between the two parties got closer, other heroes also discovered this matter. Of course, they had also heard of Amazon's reputation, so they couldn't help but become worried.

After all, those female warriors are not very good to men. They either treat them as slaves or kill them neatly. Moreover, because they are followers of the God of War, they are extremely powerful in combat.

"This shouldn't be Amazon."

A steady voice came from the crowd, calming the heroes who had already taken a defensive posture.

Everyone looked back and saw an old-looking man standing behind everyone. After seeing the other person's age, everyone expressed their respect. After all, in such an era, someone who can live a stable life to old age is still able to Continuing to take part in adventures means that you are strong.

Zheng Shu's eyes lit up. He was very familiar with this man. It was Theseus who he and Heracles had rescued in the underworld.

Theseus also saw Zheng Shu, nodded friendly towards him and then walked to the front of the crowd. After carefully looking at the surrounding environment, he nodded again to confirm.

"This is not the Amazon, this is Lemnos Island. I was here before, and it seems like something happened, so there were only women left in this country."

Lemnos Island?

Zheng Shu raised his eyebrows when he heard the name. The memory of the ancient Greek legends he had seen came to him, and he immediately showed an expression as if he was watching a play.

At this time, the Argonauts had sent an envoy to the island in a small boat to negotiate with the other party.

What happened afterwards was relatively smooth. After confirming that neither party had any malicious intentions, the Argo was finally able to dock and replenish supplies, and the heroes who had been holding back for a long time naturally disembarked to have fun.

…

…

"cheers!"

At the port of Lemnos Island, the heroes who took the initiative to stay behind the ship sat around the bonfire, picking up the wine glasses or barrels in their hands and bumping them together.

There were not many heroes who chose to stay and look after the ship. Counting Zheng Shu, there were only about six or seven of them. After all, not everyone could control their desires. After holding back their desires on the ship for more than half a month, most of the heroes couldn't wait. Get off the boat and get ready to enjoy.

"Why didn't you go to the city?"

Atalanta sat next to Zheng Shu, sipping the wine from her glass. When she looked at the jungle, her eyes occasionally showed contempt.

"After all, with a body as strong as yours, all those women are eyeing you."

After hearing this, Zheng Shu smiled nonchalantly, raised his head and drank the wine barrel in his hand.

Naturally, he could also feel the sights coming from the depths of the jungle, and they didn't mean any harm.

Although there are enough heroes on the Argonauts, they are definitely a minority compared to the women in the entire city. After all, even if they are as powerful as Hercules, their limit is only fifty princesses in one night.

So some people found another way and wanted to come here to have some fun.

The heroes who were left behind were all sharp-sighted, and of course they could see the women who thought they were hiding well in the jungle. Gradually, some people couldn't bear the loneliness and ran into the woods. Even Hylas next to Hercules quietly Left the campfire.

For a time, only Zheng Shu and three others were left around the campfire.

"well……"

Hercules sighed silently, grabbed another barrel next to him, put it to his mouth, and drank heavily.

Zheng Shu and Atalanta looked at each other and could only silently pick up their own wine glasses to clink with his and drink with him.

"Why don't you tag along?"

After a few glasses of wine, Atalanta's face turned rosy. Although she was still conscious, her courage gradually grew.

So she quietly brought herself closer to Zheng Shu, smelled of alcohol and leaned into Zheng Shu's ear and asked.

Of course, due to height reasons, even if Zheng Shu is sitting on the ground, there is a considerable height gap between the two parties, so Atalanta's posture is a bit strange.

Zheng Shu looked a little embarrassed at Atalanta, who was almost pressing her entire body against his own, and then looked at Hercules for help.

As a friend, Hercules naturally accepted Zheng Shu's gaze and gave him a reassuring thumbs up.

"I'm going to patrol around to see if I can catch any wild animals to eat. You two stay here and watch the ship."

With these words behind him, Hercules strode away from the campfire with two barrels of wine and quickly disappeared into the depths of the jungle.

"...I think you misunderstood what my eyes meant."

Zheng Shu looked at the direction in which Hercules left with dead fish eyes, and his whole heart collapsed.

Glancing at Atalanta who was close to him, he sighed helplessly. If it was the previous world, he might have really taken action, but in this world for some reason, Zheng Shu suddenly felt guilty. , as if he was eating secretly behind someone's back.

"That's not right! I've been single since I came to this world. Why should I be so afraid?"

After trying hard to cheer himself up in his mind, Zheng Shu straightened up aggressively, stretched out his hand to Atalanta... and then lifted her to the opposite side of him.

"Ahem... do you want to eat fruit?" Xiao asked weakly.

"Ah, where do you have any fruit?"

After Atalanta felt Zheng Shu's movements, she stared at him with an expression of disbelief.

Although she serves Artemis and once swore an oath to serve the gods with her purity, Atalanta is also very aware of the attraction of her body. What is going on with this guy...?

Zheng Shu felt Atalanta's gaze, lowered his head as if he hadn't seen it, searched in the package beside him, and took out a fruit seed.

With the stimulation of magic power, the "resurrection" divinity becomes active. Although there is no way to make the seeds grow into fruit trees quickly like those specially spawned divinities, it is easy to rely on seeds to create a fruit.

This was Zheng Shu's preparation to ensure that he would go to sea. Although theoretically, with his current physical strength, he should not have to worry about scurvy, but he still chose to bring a bag of fruit seeds with him. It’s not heavy and can occasionally improve the taste.

"Ahem, the reason is actually very simple. You should have smelled the scent of those people."

Zheng Shu casually handed the grown pear to Atalanta. After taking it, the huntress was curious about the sweet smell emanating from the fruit, but she still ordered it after hearing Zheng Shu's question. nod.

Atalanta's nose was sharp enough. Although the place was full of fish smell due to being at sea these past few days, she could still smell a slight weird smell after arriving on the island.

Those were punishments from the gods. The women of Lemnos were so jealous of their husbands and fathers because of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, that they put all the men to death in one night.

In order to punish them, the gods who guarded this place placed a curse on them, making these women's bodies full of pungent smell.

However, because they had been wandering at sea for a long time, the heroes of the Argonaut themselves were soaked in the fishy smell, so that most people were not aware of this problem when they went to the island.

However, Zheng Shu's sense of smell comes from the third-generation species in the dragon world. For a third-generation species that can be called a biological weapon, long-term single-odor shielding cannot cover up his keen sense of smell, so Zheng Shu can smell it very easily. The pungent smell emitted by the people on this island.

"Oh? In other words, it was actually because of the smell of these women that you didn't go to the 'party', right?"

Atalanta's tone sounded very calm, but her eyes were like a lion preparing to hunt, constantly scanning various vital positions on Zheng Shu's body.

Zheng Shu's eyelids twitched, looking at Atalanta's appearance and he couldn't laugh or cry. He also made himself an apple and took a bite, then looked far away at the sky.

"Well...actually this is not the only reason."

Atalanta looked at him curiously after hearing this.

"I made a promise with my family that I will not become a hero this time. You see, going to a certain place, helping them solve some problems and then being supported is the exclusive behavior of a hero, right? Since I have nothing to do with my family, People have already made an agreement, so I will definitely try to avoid such a situation as much as possible.”

"You... are such a strange guy."

Atalanta looked at Zheng Shu with strange eyes, feeling that this man's brain circuit was completely different from those he had seen before.

"Hahaha, there's nothing I can do about it. The family who raised me are also guys with weird brains." Zheng Shu burst out laughing.

Atalanta finished the fruit in her hand, feeling the sweetness in the fruit and narrowed her eyes happily. After a while, she looked at Zheng Shu.

Seeing Zheng Shu still minding his own business roasting meat, Atalanta thought for a while and a smile appeared on her face.

"Forget it, I think it's fine if you don't become a hero. After all, there are not many good people among heroes."

Recalling the so-called heroes she had met in the past few years, Atalanta's eyes unconsciously revealed a look of disgust.

Those who advocate violence, are both greedy and complacent, and they only need to kill a few bandits to declare themselves heroes, and then naturally take a large amount of treasure and the opposite sex as their own.

In Atalanta's opinion, such heroes are no different than bandits.

"It seems we thought the same thing."

Zheng Shu smiled and raised his wine barrel towards Atalanta.

"Forget about those guys, do you still have that fruit?"

Atalanta licked her lips, recalling the taste she had just tasted. For someone like her, it was quite difficult to taste sweetness.

"Of course, you can have as many as you want!"

Zheng Shu picked up the core that Atalanta had just thrown away and dug out the seeds. With the surge of divinity, the seeds quickly grew into mature fruits.

So the two of them drank, barbecued, and fruits, eating and drinking all night long.

…

…

Logically speaking, after the ship docked at the shore, it should rest for a few days and continue sailing after replenishing all supplies. However, due to some well-known reasons, their journey was delayed.

"I think it's not easy for everyone ahead, so we can rest for a few more days."

Jason, who was surrounded by a group of women, said this to Hercules who came to him aggressively.

Next to him, every hero was surrounded by a large number of women, and after hearing their captain's words, all of them nodded heartily in agreement.

These people no longer cared about Hercules's face, but continued to be happy.

"What is this guy thinking? Does he really plan to stay here for a long time?"

After finally avoiding the entanglements of the women who were eyeing his muscular body, Hercules returned to the camp with an ugly expression.

At this time, Zheng Shu and Atalanta were roasting a huge wild boar. There were two or three heroes beside them. These were the ones who could restrain their desires and were willing to return to the ship after a night of fun.

Zheng Shu casually threw a piece of fruit at Hercules, and then continued to play with the barbecue in front of him.

"It's normal. Don't worry, these guys will be back soon."

"Sigh... I hope that guy Jason doesn't forget why he chose to go to sea."

Hercules felt the coveted gazes coming from the surrounding jungle and sighed helplessly.

In fact, not only the heroes who stayed here in Heracles, but also everyone including Atalanta felt this coveted gaze, but they thought that they did not cause any harm to their side, and also provided them with He had obtained all kinds of resources needed for sea travel, so he could only endure it.

"That Jason guy...I will definitely give him a good look when he comes back!"

Hercules reached out and tore off one of the thighs of the wild boar on the fire, thinking to himself as he chewed it expressionlessly.

…

…

"Hahaha, this is life!"

Jason sat on the throne, feeling the soft touch coming from around his body, and showed a satisfied smile.

The Golden Fleece, the Argonauts, and the bets made by the gods were all forgotten by him.

Thinking about why he embarked on this journey, it was of course for the throne.

To be precise, it was for power that I embarked on this thankless journey.

With power, women and wealth will come to you.

However, on this island, even without any power, one can obtain countless beauties and wealth, so why would he do such dangerous things like an idiot?

Besides, what if he really arrived at Korski? The Golden Fleece is a treasure of their country, how could they hand it over so easily.

Even if he doesn't kill himself for the sake of his own country and gods, he will definitely set up an extremely difficult test, and even the kind that will lead to death if he is not careful.

And even if he really got the Golden Fleece, would he be able to get the throne smoothly when he returned home? Having experienced the feeling of power, Jason simply didn't believe that his uncle would hand over the throne so easily.

In this case, why would he risk huge risks to go to sea? What's more, the person beside him now is the queen of this country. According to her, as long as he is willing to stay, he can be the king of this country again.

The power is close at hand and there are no risks. In this case, why doesn't he stay here?

"This is my kingdom!"

Jason raised his glass and laughed loudly, and the other heroes also laughed while holding the beauty.

"What an ugly gesture."

Zheng Shu shook his head to dispel the magic in his eyes, and turned to look at Hercules, who had an ugly expression on his side.

"It seems that these guys have been completely confused, so they can't even feel the smell here."

"Then I'd better go over and beat them up!"

With that said, Hercules lifted up a big tree and prepared to wake up all the heroes trapped in the city.

"I think it's useless for you to simply beat them up. I suggest you give each of them a kick on the dick, so that they will give up other messy thoughts and follow you away."

Atalanta was gnawing on an apple and very plainly made a suggestion that made people tighten their crotches.

"Remember to step on them a little bit and don't let them have any possibility of healing."

Even the impatient Hercules couldn't help his eyelids twitching after hearing this idea, and the heroes next to him silently clamped their thighs.

Zheng Shu's mouth twitched at the side, and he always felt that Atalanta's proposal had a sense of immediacy.

"Don't worry, don't rush. If you want to go find them now, these guys will definitely not be happy. Even if they are beaten by you, they will definitely try their best to run back."

Zheng Shu looked out the window at the somewhat deserted farmland, with an expression on his face as if he was watching a show.

"Just wait, they will take the initiative to leave in a few days. When the time comes, if you give them a good beating, they will not only not be angry, but they will also thank you."

"oh?"

Hercules raised his eyebrows and followed Zheng Shu's gaze to the barren farmland. With his wisdom, he naturally thought of the reason quickly, and a look of gloating appeared on his face.

"That's really good. I'm looking forward to seeing their faces then."
