The captain of the ship reached out.

Chapter 15 Luo Yiren

"Then let Him come."

Bazel shook his head with a cold smile.

He has never been respectful of any deity, let alone any nameless minor gods worshipped by the indigenous people.

With a swift stroke, Bazel took the life of the indigenous chieftain.

He then raised the head of the indigenous chief and displayed it to the crowd below.

"Your leader is dead!"

"Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately! Otherwise... kill them without mercy!"

Upon seeing their chieftain's head, the natives' eyes turned red, and they wished they could tear him apart.

However, the disparity in strength between the two sides was evident, and the presence of the elderly, women, and children in the camp became their fatal weakness.

Anyone with eyes can see that the indigenous people's power is gone, and continuing to resist is nothing but self-destruction.

As the valiant warriors were slaughtered one by one, fewer and fewer of their people remained alive.

At this moment, a middle-aged indigenous man with one arm stepped forward.

His arm was severed in the battle, and blood was flowing continuously from the cut.

But the inner torment was more painful for him than the physical pain.

For the sake of the continuation of the race, and for the sake of those children who have not yet grown up, he had to make a decision.

The man named Libit raised his only remaining arm and spoke in a hoarse and sorrowful voice.

"We...surrender!"

Upon hearing this, the other members of the clan cast surprised and disdainful glances at him.

Bazel smiled with satisfaction: "Good! Hansen, give him the [Healing Potion]!"

With Libit's precedent set, the natives' will to fight was further broken, and they all eventually became prisoners of Bazel and his men.

However, Hansen was somewhat puzzled by this.

"Captain, what use are these natives to us?"

"Haven't you noticed yet?"

Bazel's gaze fell on the natives, who had a very distinctive feature: purple hair and purple eyes!

"They are Roys!"

"Luo Yiren..."

Hansen murmured.

He had heard of this special race.

It is said that in ancient times, the Loys were the darlings of the world, possessing magical talents far exceeding those of ordinary people, and were almost born with the ability to use magic.

However, later, with the popularization of the [Secret Path]...

The Loy people seem to be cursed, not only losing their extraordinary talents, but also finding it several times more difficult than ordinary people to embark on the [Secret Path].

Gradually, the Loy people declined, and they could only be seen on some remote islands.

"So you're a Loy, no wonder you speak the Common Tongue."

Paul, the current second mate, nodded knowingly: "That's not surprising."

The blood of the Loi people contains a mysterious power, including some ancient traditions.

It can even serve as a special spellcasting material.

And that is precisely why.

The blood and corpses of the Loys are highly sought after on the black market, practically priceless.

Hansen was just a bit reckless; he wasn't really clueless.

Upon hearing the name of the Loy, he understood Bazel's intention.

"Captain, you mean...?"

Bazel's face hardened, and he said coldly, "Sell them to the wealthy people in the city-state! Make a killing off them!"

"Hiss... But the city-state of Aran strictly prohibits the slave trade."

"I know."

Barzel clearly had a plan in place.

"Therefore, we won't return to Aran this time; instead, we'll head to Blackrock City!"

Hansen and Paul exchanged a glance, both somewhat reluctant.

Going to Blackrock City is much farther than returning to Aran City; it will take at least another month.

The ship still had plenty of supplies, but after drifting at sea for so long, who wouldn't want to go to a city-state and have some fun?

However, both of them could see that Bazel was determined and neither of them had any intention of persuading him.

The crew members on board do indeed have some decision-making power in certain matters.

But when it comes to the crucial decision that determines the fate of the entire ship, it is still the captain who has the final say!

……

……

"Hmm? [Forbidden Magic Stone]..."

Alice touched her chin, trying hard to remember.

"I think I saw it in a very, very old book. The Forbidden Magic Stone is an alchemical artifact from a previous era..."

"Anything else?"

"No, that's all!"

Alice lowered her head shyly: "That's all I remember."

Horn rubbed her head with his tentacles.

"It's okay, remembering just one thing is great too."

Although I didn't get the answer I wanted from the "walking encyclopedia," the absence of an answer is itself an answer.

This at least demonstrates that the Forbidden Magic Stone is an extremely rare and wondrous item.

It's a rare find!

Thinking about this, Horn became even more curious about the origins of the Mysterious Island.

What exactly is the origin of this island?

Such ancient treasures can be found so easily, and so many powerful and bizarre monsters can be raised from them.

However, to uncover this secret, we'll probably have to wait until Horn has the strength to delve into the core area of ​​the island.

[Gene Integration], upgrade me!

[Experience points +215!]

[Level: Two (Lv24→Lv26)! 】

[Biotoxin Lv1 → Lv4!]

[Magic Power +10!]

[Mental Strength +5!]

The fungal carpet completely digested the corpse of the [Vulture Venomous Bee].

Lines of information rushed past like a waterfall.

The gains from this battle were absolutely the most substantial since Horn's transmigration.

Not only did it level up two levels directly, pushing [Biotoxin] to Lv4, but its magic power and mental strength also increased significantly.

This was mainly due to the corpse of the queen bee.

Its obese body contained a great deal of magical power, and at the same time, its mental strength was also quite high.

Grab it and digest it in an instant; it's like swallowing a highly nourishing tonic.

One bite is all it takes to satisfy.

【Serial Number B-007: Gene Integration】

[Rank: Two (Lv26)]

[Physical Fitness: 9]

【Magic Power: 34】

【Spirit: 16】

"The queen bee tastes really good!"

Looking at the current panel, Horn muttered to himself, "If I could eat a couple more queen bees, I might be able to rush to the third tier in one go."

After digesting the "gift" from the bee colony.

Horn took out the Forbidden Magic Stone that was wrapped in tentacles.

Upon closer inspection, the magic stone was not pure black; its smooth surface was engraved with many fine patterns, resembling some kind of runes or secret codes, mysterious and profound.

Alchemical creations from the old era...

Let me see what's wrong with you!

With a flick of his tentacles, Horn stuffed the magic stone directly into his body.

hum-

A slight vibration came from inside my body.

First came a slight chill, which spread outward from the magic stone.

But then, the coolness turned into warmth and a burning sensation, as if he had swallowed a ball of fire that was constantly scorching his body.

However, the burning sensation did not make Horn uncomfortable; on the contrary, it felt quite comfortable.

It feels like a weapon being forged and tempered, removing impurities.

You have absorbed the "Forbidden Magic Stone"!

Your life level has been slightly elevated; your level, talents, and skill caps have been increased!

[Unlock Talent: Lifeline Gift!]

A gift from the source of life?

What is that?

Horn immediately became interested and began to examine his newly acquired talent closely.
