Chapter 31

Bick opened the rusty cabin door, walked around the three rotting skeletons, and saw a rusty metal box.

“Looks like I gained quite a lot!”

Taking out the universal tool hammer, Bick smashed it with all his strength.

With a bang, the lock on the metal box was broken by Bick. He was about to check what he had obtained when he suddenly felt a black shadow flashed past him.

“Huh?”

Bick turned his head abruptly, but he saw nothing. There were only three twisted and rotten skeletons beside him, staring in the direction of Bick with empty eyes.

“This place can’t be haunted, right…”

Bick had some doubts in his heart, and he could not help but move much faster.

He immediately opened the metal box, and notifications appeared one after another.

[You have opened the hidden treasure chest!]

[You have obtained compressed biscuit x1!]

[You have obtained mana crystal x1!]

[You have obtained lightning rod schematics!]

“Lightning rod schematics? This thing is useful!”

Bick first stuffed the items he had obtained into his wooden backpack and was about to leave the room. But just as he turned around to leave, he suddenly saw the skeleton behind him moved.

“F*ck! Are they really haunted?”

Bick immediately took out his spiked spear and instinctively blocked it.

Bang!

The three skeletons were really alive. One of the skeletons rushed towards Bick but was blocked by the spiked spear and could not get close.

The space here was narrow and it was in a complicated cabin. Bick did not want to fight with these monsters in the cabin, so he swam directly to the exit of the sunken ship.

The three skeletons followed closely behind Bick, and they were not slower than him at all.

“These guys are faster than fish!”

Bick cursed in his heart. Should he turn back to fight with the skeletons behind him? However, he found that the three skeletons could not be hurt by the sharp spears.

The spear only left a shallow mark on the rotten bones. It could not stop them from chasing after him, and it could not even slow them down.

“It seems that only magic weapons can hurt them. The physical attack of the spear has no effect at all!”

After thinking this through, Bick stopped fighting and swam directly to the surface of the sea.

With his water elemental affinity, his speed was faster than the fish in the sea. However, when he pushed it to the limit, he could barely keep a distance from the skeletons.

The only way now was to swim to the raft in one breath.

On the calm sea surface, Einstein anxiously stared at the surface of the water around the raft and nervously cried out.

Gradually, its uneasiness became more and more obvious. It was only when Bick’s figure suddenly rushed out of the water surface that Einstein relaxed slightly.

Thump!

Bick directly threw himself onto the raft because he did not have time to slow down. When he had just approached the raft, the three skeletons were only less than three meters away from him.

If he slowed down a little, he might be dragged back into the sea by the three monsters.

“How f*cking exciting!”

Bick got up and panted heavily while dragging his wet body.

Einstein landed beside Bick, but he paced back and forth uneasily, as if he was afraid of something nearby.

“They didn’t leave?” Bick knew that what Einstein felt was those skeleton monsters.

“Ou ou! Ou ou ou! Ou ou ou!”

Einstein shouted nervously, telling Bick that those monsters really didn’t leave.

Bick spat, “These monsters are persistent!”

He opened his wooden backpack, counted the materials he had just obtained, and put them into his storage box.

During this time, Einstein had been very nervous. Bick thought that these monsters could not come out of the water, or they could not come out of the water during the day.

Before the sky got dark, he wanted to create a magic weapon as soon as possible.

Opening the God’s domain slate, Bick began to search for all kinds of magic weapons.

[Magic spiked spear: Spiked spear (1/1), mana crystal (2/2), blood drop (0/3), metal plate (3/3)]

[Spirit slayer dagger: Dagger (0/1), mana crystal (3/3), demon’s remnant (0/1)]

[Holy shield: Wooden shield (0/1), mana crystal (2/2), blood drop (0/3)]

…

Bick took a closer look. Although the spirit slayer dagger was the most powerful, it was a melee weapon. It would be easy to get injured in battle, and it did not have enough materials at the moment. As for the holy shield, it was a defensive equipment. Bick did not consider making it for the time being.

Now, the easiest thing to make was the magic spiked spear!

He added the two mana crystals he had just obtained into the manufacturing schematic, and he sacrificed three drops of blood.

After more than ten seconds, a brand new magic spiked spear appeared in Bick’s hand.

The spear was heavier than before, and it had a metal edge. On the spike of the spear, there was also a purple mana crystal embedded.

[Magic spiked spear]

[Level: normal]

[Explanation: It can kill spirit bodies. Its power is weak, but it is very practical. As a magic weapon, it will consume the user’s spiritual energy less.]

Seeing such an introduction, Bick nodded in satisfaction.

Magic weapons would consume one’s spiritual energy when used. If one created a weapon that consumed too much spiritual energy, it might not be a good thing.

On the contrary, it was a weapon that consumed less spiritual power that allowed him to continue fighting.

After all, no one knew how many skeleton monsters were still in the shipwreck!

With the magic spiked spear in my hand, Bick looked at Einstein and smiled, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll go and get rid of them all in a moment!”

Einstein responded with a few shouts. Although he was still a little worried, he appeared to trust Bick very much.

Perhaps it was because he had consumed too much energy during the dive, Bick felt that his stomach was very hungry. He looked at the sky. In another two to three hours, it would be dark.

He did not have time to cook the grilled fish. He had to explore all the resources in the shipwreck before dark.

Thinking of this, Bick took out a compressed biscuit from the wooden box.

[Compressed biscuit]

[Level: high]

[Explanation: It’s not very nutritious, but if you eat one, you won’t be hungry for three days. And it’s very small!]

Bick smiled and opened the package of the compressed biscuit. He drank the fresh water in the plastic jar and started to chew.

Surprisingly, the taste of this thing was actually not bad. It had a faint orange smell.

Soon, Bick ate the compressed biscuit and felt that he was much more energetic.

He put on the wooden backpack again. One of his hand held the inextinguishable lantern, and the other held the magic spiked spear. He said to Einstein, “Einstein, wait for my return!”

“Ou! Ou! Ou!”
