Chapter 19

With the metal ingot in his hands, Bick directly inserted it into the manufacturing schematics to make the anchor.

In less than a minute, a wooden stake appeared at the end of the raft. Then, a long straw rope was coiled around the wooden stake. At the end of the straw rope was a metal anchor.

This anchor was very heavy and could only be pulled up manually. If not for Bick’s body being strengthened, it would have been quite difficult to retrieve and release this heavy anchor.

He was a little depressed looking at the thing when he suddenly heard Einstein’s urgent cry.

“Ou Ou! Ou Ou Ou!”

“Huh?”

The voice did not come from the raft, but from afar. Bic immediately looked in the direction of the voice, and only then did he realize that Einstein had flown far away and was now flapping his wings and landing on the raft.

“What’s wrong? Einstein,” Bick asked in confusion.

Einstein landed and kept pushing his head in the direction it flew back. He looked very anxious.

What happened?

Bick was a little puzzled. He looked in that direction and realized that there was a raft slowly approaching in the distance.

Of course, the raft only seemed to move very slowly.

Bick could see that the woman standing on the raft was desperately rowing the paddle in her hand, as if she was trying to escape from something.

In just a moment, Bick understood what danger she was hiding from.

In the furthest distance he could see, seven or eight rafts appeared. The people on the rafts were rowing the paddle vigorously, obviously heading toward the front of her raft.

The woman seemed to be exhausted. Although she didn’t stop paddling, her speed had obviously started to slow down.

The few rafts chasing behind her were getting closer and closer to her. Bick even saw the people on the rafts behind her cheering with all their might.

“I didn’t expect to meet pirates…”

Bick secretly ridiculed in his heart. He saw that the pirates on the opposite side had already approached the woman’s raft.

They jumped onto the raft and began to plunder the resources on the raft. Two of them even tied the woman up.

After that, the empty raft was tied behind the pirate’s raft and it was approaching the center of the pirate fleet. The remaining pirates were excitedly communicating on the raft.

Then, Bick saw one of them pointed in his direction.

“You want to rob me?”

Bick couldn’t help but sneered. These thieves actually wanted to rob him. They were simply walking into a trap.

But in the next moment, Bick’s feelings were a little complicated because he saw the pirates on the rafts pulled up a signal flag and waved it vigorously for a while.

Then, Bick saw more and more rafts gradually appeared further away from the sea.

And in the middle of these rafts, there was obviously a bigger raft. That raft even had a big flag hanging high up, a flag with a skeleton pattern, fluttering in the wind.

“This thing… could it be some special item?”

Bick was a little confused, but he couldn’t take care of these details at this time because the number of pirates had already exceeded his expectations. 

After a rough estimation, the enemy had at least thirty rafts.

In other words, this group of pirates had the combat strength of more than thirty people.

To gather so many pirates in this game, there must be a huge distribution of benefits. In other words, the poorest of these thirty people were richer than most players.

They had plundered a large amount of resources, so naturally, they also had higher defense items and combat weapons.

Therefore, this battle could not be underestimated.

In fact, if Bick could stay far away from these pirates, he really did not want to take such a risk. However, his raft’s speed was obviously not as fast as the pirates.

Therefore, the only thing he could do now was to immediately prepare for battle.

He first pulled up the anchor that he had just lowered and prepared to move and evade at any time. He was near the island, and this terrain was advantageous for him to fight with the pirates.

“First Mate Einstein, go and check on the other party’s situation. When the other party reaches a range of 150 meters, immediately report to me!”

“Ou ou!”

Einstein seemed to have realized the urgency of the situation. He quickly called out twice and flapped his wings to fly.

Bick looked up and saw that Einstein was flying very high. It seemed that he understood that he was a scout to secretly observe the enemy’s situation.

After arranging Einstein’s mission, Bick opened the manufacturing interface.

Previously, he saw some defensive equipment in the manufacturing interface, but at first, he thought that he would not be able to use these things for the time being, so he did not manufacture them.

Now, it seemed that he needed to manufacture them.

[Principle]

[Wooden defensive helmet: Wooden board (2/2), grass rope (0/2)]

[Level: normal]

[Explanation: Defensive helmet. Its defense is low, but it can protect your life in times of need.]

[Wooden armor defense suit: Wooden board (6/6), metal piece (3/3), grass rope (0/4)]

[Level: normal]

[Explanation: Not Heavy. Its defense is average, but it’s not convenient to wear. 

Bick took a quick glance at the description of the item and started making it.

With the acceleration effect of the impatient gloves, the two pieces of equipment took only three minutes to complete.

However, the helmet was still okay as it just clicked on the head and it was done, but this wooden armor defense suit was a waste of time to wear.

While wearing the impatient gloves, Bick took a full two minutes to put it on properly.

Looking up in the direction of the pirates, Bick was slightly relieved.

It seemed that their speed was not as fast as he had imagined. Einstein flew back and forth in the air and had been monitoring the movements of the pirates. It seemed that he was very conscientious.

The equipment on the mountain was ready. Bick took out a plastic jar and poured a few mouthfuls of sweet fresh water into his mouth.

Before the battle, he had to replenish with fresh water.

The enemy had many people and he didn’t know how long the battle would last, so he had to try his best to maintain his best condition.

After all this was done, Bick was left with one last thing.

“Make spears!”

With a smile, Bick began to prepare the materials.

Right now, he only had a few metal spears in his spear launcher. The enemy had at least thirty people, so these spears were definitely not enough.

Fortunately, he had sufficient supplies and had prepared enough grass rope. Next, he had to make metal spears.

In this way he would start shooting from a distance when the pirates entered the shooting range!

Bick’s hands were as fast as lightning. Even he himself could not see his movements clearly. He only knew that in a few seconds, a metal spear appeared on the ground.

In less than three minutes, 30 metal spears had been completed.

Just as he was about to place the metal spears into the two spear launchers, he suddenly heard a familiar system notification.
