Chapter 15 Dice

“Dice” Kutes ignored him, approaching with a sneer. The contractor’s eyes were filled with despair, wildly swinging his dagger in resistance. He finally managed to cut the enemy’s arm, which only fueled the guard’s ferocity. Kutes lashed out with kicks and punches, delivering a barrage of blows. Clearly, this contractor lacked close combat skills, and despite his desperate attempts to block and dodge, he was left bruised and bloodied, his screams echoing.

When “Dice” Kutes finally grew impatient, he drew his cutlass from his waist again, the cold blade glinting as it descended. With a swift slice, the contractor's hand was deeply cut, warm blood instantly soaking his sleeve.

The contractor couldn't even utter a cry of pain. Immediately, a second slash followed, and the contractor only managed to roll away before letting out a piercing scream, as his back was brutally slashed. He suddenly looked up, his eyes red with despair, and shouted:

"Let's die together!"

He reached out with both hands. At that moment, a figure lunged out from the side of the shack, bursting through the decaying wood and tackling “Dice” Kutes to the ground. The two wrestled, and then the wooden shack collapsed with a crash, kicking up a cloud of dust and burying them beneath.

The one who had charged out was Fang Senyan. He had carefully chosen this moment to act. Despite having the advantage in all basic stats and fighting in an environment completely favorable to him (the cutlass was almost useless at close range), Fang Senyan was surprised to find that “Dice” Kutes’s counterattacks in this close combat were also quite fierce. His high health cap of 250 also made attacking him feel futile. If this guy wasn't operating alone, and there were more port guards present, with their special passive ability: group stacking, Fang Senyan feared he wouldn't even be able to escape!

Fortunately, the cobalt steel alloy exoskeleton equipped on his left hand played an extremely powerful role. Even after reducing the enemy's damage reduction defense, the weapon's stable attack output of 18-19 significantly reduced the possibility of unforeseen circumstances. Although "Dice" Kutes's punches still caused Fang Senyan's mouth to bleed and left him with bruises all over his body, the threat was reduced to a relatively acceptable level for Fang Senyan, who possessed the "Resilience" talent.

Seeing that he was about to be defeated, "Dice" Kutes suddenly let out a wild cry. His right hand swung upwards violently, his convulsing index and middle fingers reaching for Fang Senyan's left eye! He even felt the wetness and slipperiness of the eyeball. He believed that the enemy would dodge in this situation, giving him a chance to escape. But Fang Senyan's face was as cold as granite, as if the enemy was about to pluck out someone else's eyeball! He raised his left fist, the glaring metallic light flashing, and then smashed it down with force!

With a muffled thud, Fang Senyan slowly lifted his left fist from the enemy's bloodied throat. He couldn't help but rub his sore, swollen left eye with his right hand. At this time, Fang Senyan also looked quite disheveled. Not only was his face bruised, but blood was also flowing from the corner of his mouth. Moreover, his health had dropped below 70%, mainly because "Dice" Kutes had launched a frantic counterattack when his health dropped below 20%. Fang Senyan had to prevent him from escaping, so he had to endure many attacks that he could have parried or blocked.

It must be said that Captain Henry's judgment was indeed quite accurate. For the current Fang Senyan, the lack of attack methods was a great weakness. If he wasn't good at planning and scheming to create favorable situations for himself, then it would really be difficult to get any big advantages in this world.

After killing the guard of Tortuga Port, Fang Senyan found that he had gained an additional 50 points of reputation among the pirates. After picking up the key dropped by the sacrificed guard, Fang Senyan summoned the corresponding treasure chest. This treasure chest had the special style of this world, with the texture of an oak hoop barrel, and the surface was also brushed with white paint in the shape of crossed swords. Of course, the old-fashioned copper lock was also indispensable.

Fang Senyan couldn't help being a little stunned after opening it. In a small corner of the box was an old linen purse, and under the purse was a brass ring. The purse even looked a little shriveled. Fang Senyan picked it up and shook it, but there wasn't even the pleasant "clinking" sound inside. At this time, Fang Senyan suddenly remembered the guard's name: "Dice" Kutes.

"Damn, did he lose everything and then come out to work?"

With a sense of unease, Fang Senyan opened the drawstring of the purse, and then shook the bottom of the bag. Suddenly, several metal objects collided with each other, making a pleasant clinking sound as they fell out. Fang Senyan grabbed them, and his heart was filled with joy, because in addition to five or six pennies and three shillings, a gold coin actually fell out. The gold coin was shimmering, looking as if it had just been minted. It was clear that it was extraordinary. One side of the gold coin was printed with several complex letters, and the other side was a person riding a horse holding up a sword as if showing majesty. Fang Senyan received a prompt after obtaining it:

"You have obtained an Edward V Gold Sovereign."

"Edward V Gold Sovereign: Valuable item, precious currency, has collection value, certain plot characters like it very much, cast from 22k gold, worth ten times that of ordinary pounds, can be used as currency, can be carried out of this world, and can also be sold to the space in exchange for 400 general points."

Then Fang Senyan picked up the brass ring, but found the words (Unidentified) written on the back.

He couldn't help but be a little stunned, because he had never encountered this kind of ring equipment that needed to be identified before, but he immediately put the ring away, looked around, sneered, and chased after him.

The person Fang Senyan was chasing was naturally the contractor he had saved. This guy had actually run away without any sense of loyalty, but his physical strength didn't seem to be very good, and his self-healing ability wasn't strong. After being stabbed in the leg by Mr. Kutes, he had been limping and crawling until now, and hadn't run far.

Fang Senyan caught up with a gloomy face. The contractor was probably panicked, and he also had to observe the guards everywhere, and his leg was injured. By the time Fang Senyan caught up, he was already rolling and crawling. When he realized that he couldn't escape, he simply sat down on the ground, squeezed out a few smiles that couldn't be more forced, and said:

"Hi, friend, it's good that you're okay. There's no use for a waste like me to stay there, so I left first."

Fang Senyan stared at him coldly and said:

"Is this how you treat your saviors?"

The contractor's face was also green and white, and he stammered:

"You can't blame me for this, can you? A guy as strong as Kardas was also beaten to death by the guards of this port. How would I know that you are so strong that you can kill that guy and still get away unscathed?"

Fang Senyan snorted coldly and said:

"That Kardas guy is very strong?"

This guy said in a muffled voice:

"How can he not be strong? He is a guy who debuted with Boss Nick. It is said that he has experienced nearly six movie worlds, and he is a strong man with more than 23 points of strength! But when he was covering the rear, he couldn't last even a minute in front of the harbor guards, and he couldn't even escape!"

Fang Senyan's heart moved, and he sneered:

"How many guards was he facing at the time?"

The contractor was stunned and said:

"It was one-on-one! At that time, Kardas was responsible for covering the rear at the back door of the castle. It was a steep, narrow path, next to a cliff! Although there were many guards chasing us, that road could only accommodate one person at most. I didn't expect Kardas to be defeated so quickly, otherwise, we wouldn't have escaped so embarrassedly after detonating the explosives!"

Fang Senyan smiled sarcastically and said:

"In other words, although he was only facing one guard at the time, there were still many people behind the guard?"

"Yes." The contractor said in astonishment.

Fang Senyan sneered:

"These guards have a passive ability. Whenever there is an additional friendly unit next to them, their own attributes increase by 10%, and the maximum bonus can be up to 100%! And this is only for level II guards. If Kardas faced a more advanced guard, perhaps the improvement of this passive ability would be even more exaggerated! Besides, there may be someone among these guards who can master long-range attacks. In my opinion, Kardas is quite strong to have lasted so long."

The contractor was immediately dumbfounded. He hesitated for a moment and said:

"Then... that guard just now..."

Fang Senyan said lightly:

"He was just a level II guard and was alone. Of course, it doesn't take much effort to deal with him."

At this time, the contractor's eyes looking at Fang Senyan were a bit strange. There was no doubt that he had labeled Fang Senyan as "strong," "cold-faced but warm-hearted," and "well-informed" in his eyes. After a long while, he embarrassedly stretched out his hand and said:

"I'm very sorry for what happened just now. I'm Kree. What's your name?"

Fang Senyan smiled and said:

"You can call me Sailor Rock. Since there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"You... are leaving?" Kree was immediately a little dazed and incredulous. It wasn't until Fang Senyan had walked a long distance that he struggled to get up and shouted, "Wait! Wait, please don't leave me behind!"
