Chapter 34

At this moment, he had already walked up the corridor. When the light from the miner’s lamp had just reached inside, Bick saw a skull poking its head out of a cabin and staring at him.

The decayed skull, which had almost no flesh and blood, seemed to have a sinister expression on it. When it was illuminated by the lamp, it looked very strange.

“F*ck!”

Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by this monster.

He immediately tightened his grip on the magic spiked spear and slowed down his speed. He slowly approached it, ready to fight at any time.

But at this moment, the skeleton monster actually shook its chin and suddenly smiled, as if some sinister plot had finally succeeded.

Bick was on high alert. He swept his gaze slightly and suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

A gunpowder gun was actually on its rotten palm.

Bang!

The sound of an explosion was suddenly heard. Bick used almost all of his strength and suddenly retreated backwards.

A metal bullet flew past Bick’s waist and hit the rusty cabin metal board, directly smashing a big hole.

“D*mn! It’s quite powerful!”

At this moment, the skeleton monster walked out of the cabin. Bick could see clearly that the guy was wearing a captain’s coat that was almost completely rotted, and he was holding a gunpowder gun in both of his hands.

That was not the only thing that was worse. It seemed that something was coming from his back, and it was getting closer and closer.

Bick turned around and saw four skeleton monsters behind him. Each of them was holding a long knife!

There was a skeleton captain in front and skeleton monsters holding long knives at the back. Bick was completely surrounded.

However, he had a magic spiked spear in his hand. It might be difficult to deal with the skeleton captain, but the four monsters holding long knives at the back should not be his opponent.

Thinking of this, Bick suddenly rushed to his back.

He originally planned to kill a skeleton monster first, but he never expected the rusty long knives in their hands to be abnormally hard.

Bang!

Bick’s spear was blocked by the rusty long knife, making a muffled sound in the water. The long knife was actually fine, but it was Bick who was hurt from the shock.

What the f*ck?

Bick did not expect that the opponent’s combat strength was so strong. But after taking a closer look, he suddenly understood.

It turned out that the long blade in the skeleton monster’s hand was inlaid with mana crystals. It was also a magic weapon.

How was he supposed to fight?

The opponent had more people than him. Their weapons and strength were on par with his. If he continued to fight, he would definitely be at a disadvantage!

The skeleton captain seemed to see Bick’s worry, and actually arrogantly walked over to Bick’s side. The four skeleton monsters were getting closer and closer, and the rusty tip of the blade was almost at Bick’s lower back.

If he went all out, it was not that Bick had no chance of winning. Moreover, he also had the chocolate energy bar which could increase his fighting strength.

But the problem was, was it necessary to go all out against them?

In the encirclement of monsters, Bick smiled slightly and actually became calm.

He calmly took out a strangely shaped magic staff from his wooden backpack. He looked at the approaching monsters and sneered.

“Come out!”

As he said this, Bick waved the octopus soul magic staff with force.

Boom!

A ball of purple light exploded around the magic staff. Almost at the same time, a huge octopus shadow appeared beside Bick.

“Kill them!”

With Bick’s order, the huge octopus shadow rushed towards the four skeleton monsters who were closest to it.

The skeleton monsters waved their long knives and slashed towards the octopus shadow. However, the octopus’s agile limbs actually coiled around the skeleton monsters’ bodies.

In the next moment, an ear-piercing sound of bones being crushed was heard.

In an instant, the four skeleton monsters turned into broken bones.

At the same time, Bick received a notification.

[You have killed four skeleton monsters. You have obtained demon’s remnant x4. You have obtained mana crystal x4! ]

“D*mn!”

“What a bountiful harvest!”

Bick quickly put the materials into his wooden backpack. Suddenly, he heard two gunshots.

Bang! Bang!

The skeleton captain fired two gunpowder guns at the same time, hitting the octopus phantom. However, after the octopus’s body was pierced through with two large holes, it only took less than a second for it to quickly heal.

This time the skeleton captain’s jaw almost fell off.

It was shocked. It turned around and rushed into the captain’s cabin, directly locking the cabin door.

Bick was stunned by the skeleton monster’s operation. He did not expect the monster to be afraid and locked the door even when it was afraid…

However, the rusty metal cabin wall was not an obstacle for the octopus shaow at all.

Its eight limbs whipped fiercely, and the metal cabin wall emitted “bang bang bang bang” sounds of collision.

Through the blurry glass, Bick even saw that the skeleton captain’s entire body was trembling. This was the first time in his life that he had seen such an embarrassing monster.

However, the metal cabin was obviously unable to stop the octopus.

After more than ten consecutive collisions, a large hole was finally created in the metal cabin wall. The octopus did not even climb in directly. Instead, it extended its limbs in and wrapped them around the skeleton captain’s body.

Crack crack crack…

The sound of bones breaking was heard again, and the skeleton captain instantly turned into pieces.

[You have killed the skeleton captain. You have obtained demon’s remnant x4, mana crystal x2!]

“Cool!”

Bick smiled proudly, and could not help but want to praise the octopus phantom.

However, it seemed that because its mana had been exhausted, the huge octopus phantom gradually turned into nothingness and completely disappeared after killing the skeleton captain.

Bick looked at the octopus soul magic staff in his hand and found that one of the three mana crystals inlaid had dimmed. It seemed that the magic staff could not be used after the three mana crystals had been exhausted.

“Let’s find the key first!”

Bick put away the magic staff and entered the captain’s room through the hole created by the octopus phantom. Inside, Bick found a metal box.

He smashed it with his universal tool hammer.

Bang!

[You have opened hidden treasure chest!]

[You have obtained rum x1!]

[You have obtained compressed biscuit x1!]

[You have obtained unknown key x1!]

There were not many resources in the hidden treasure chest. It seemed that the most important thing was the unknown key.

“But who cares? There must be more resources in the warehouse below!”

Bick smiled and held the key in his hand. He followed the route in his memory and arrived at the well-sealed warehouse.

There was no difference from before. There were traces of rust everywhere, but the metal wall of the warehouse still looked solid.

After finding the location of the lock hole of the cabin door, Bick inserted the unknown key and twisted it forcefully.

Crack!

The hatch opened…
