Chapter 405: Cleanup and Loot Distribution

Ba En's strength is actually quite good.

Having trained in the Southern Archipelago for many years and made a name for himself as "Greasy Hand," his combat experience is not insignificant.

Coupled with his level 4 status and the 【Azure Blade Warrior】 profession, which is very suitable for maritime combat.

Under normal circumstances, even facing the siege of the three members of the "Silver Claw Osprey" squad, he wouldn't be so unbearable.

Even if he were in good condition and performed well, it wouldn't be impossible for him to win.

But the situation is different now.

On one hand, after the close-range impact of 【Night Mother's Gaze】, although he successfully passed the fear check, his psychological defense was inevitably affected.

Coupled with witnessing his teammates being cruelly slaughtered like cutting melons and vegetables, his heart was even more crumbling, anxious to get rid of the entanglement of the few people in front of him and go back to support his teammates.

But many times, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to make mistakes.

Even if he desperately used his trump card combat skill called "Body of Wave Mist," he still couldn't break through the encirclement of the three members of the "Silver Claw Osprey" squad, whose combat power had risen after the Halfling Alton's lute music bonus.

Instead, because he was too anxious, he added a few wounds to his body that shouldn't have appeared.

His physical strength and energy were weakened accordingly.

When Xia Nan solved the remaining two professionals on the pirate ship who still retained combat power and rode 【Tooth Hunt】 behind the opponent, Ba En didn't even have time to turn his head to defend before his head was cut off by a sword.

At this point, a total of eight Adventurers in the "Flying Fish Oil Barrel" squad, seven of whom had all died.

The only one left was the Rogue whose arm was accidentally cut off when Xia Nan broke into the battlefield, specifically left for interrogation. At this moment, he was still holding his constantly spurting blood arm stump, wailing and rolling on the deck.

The battle was almost over.

The remaining ordinary sailors on the pirate ship didn't even need Xia Nan and others to take action again.

Under the fear deterrence effect of 【Night Mother's Gaze】, their combat power was less than one in ten.

They were easily wiped out by the crew on the *Black Gull*.

Some who lost their reason due to extreme fear and jumped into the sea also became living targets on the sea surface, picked off one by one by the Half-Elf Archer Letitia.

Along with the corpses of the other pirates, they sank into the sea, becoming bait for fishing.

It has to be said that 【Night Mother's Gaze】, this special expertise obtained after 【Tooth Hunt】 reached full level from the 【Dream Weaving Corridor】 dream.

In group battles where the average combat power of the enemy is relatively low, like now, the effect is exaggerated.

Many times, just one or two charges, and the enemy's morale collapses directly.

If one can also behead the leader or core figure among them, the fear effect can be further strengthened.

The cleanup work went very smoothly.

The single-masted fast ship taken by the pirates was not large in volume, and there was no place to hide.

Coupled with the fact that the Rogue specifically left behind by Xia Nan, in order to survive, covered his bloody wounds and very spinelessly revealed everything he knew to everyone, allowing the crew on the *Black Gull* to easily complete the sorting of the loot.

—Of course, this Rogue still didn't survive in the end. After losing his utility, with the consent of Xia Nan and others, he was killed by Captain Gregory without any hesitation and thrown into the sea.

The battle ended.

The gains could be said to be very good.

Unlike the Adventurer squads Xia Nan had encountered in the Mist Forest before, Adventurers on the ocean often have their own ships, and to some extent, can be said to be traveling with warehouses and residences.

Even if they are extravagant on weekdays and can't save a few coins, those who are slightly smarter won't store valuable things on the ship.

But after counting, at least the average gain is much higher than before.

Just the gold and silver coins they found on the "Flying Fish Oil Barrel" ship had a combined value of 300 gold.

There were also many second-hand standard weapons that could be sent to the market to sell for money, such as bows, crossbows, and machetes, as well as some supplies.

And among them, what Xia Nan paid most attention to were the two enchanted pieces of equipment from the pirate leader and the young Spellcaster.

【Azure Wave Blade】

Type: Scimitar

Grade: Excellent (Green)

Effect:

1. Durability +15%;

2. Slashing damage +5%;

Introduction:

A well-crafted scimitar—perhaps you should take a bath before using it?

Remark:

"I don't understand, besides being slightly more durable and sharper, what is special about this scimitar?"

—Sand Walker, Desert Nova, Noge

【Type III Practice Staff - 1007 Model】

1. Spellcasting speed +5%;

2. Spell model stability +10%.

Introduction:

An entry-level practice staff suitable for novice Spellcasters, optimized in terms of spellcasting speed and spell stability.

Remark:

"I'll warn you one last time, Mage Hand is not for doing this!"

—Dorm Manager of the Third Male Dormitory of Star Sea Enchantment Academy, Night Watcher, Nopu

Regarding the former, the enchanted scimitar left by the pirate leader Ba En, named 【Azure Wave Blade】, its value goes without saying.

Its "Green Excellent" quality is enough to prove it.

Don't look at Xia Nan having a large area of blue and purple on his body, and once possessing the 【Fate Coin】 of "Pink Epic" quality, it seems that this kind of white equipment and green equipment have no value.

In fact, a weapon of excellent grade, no matter which market it is placed in, can be called hot-selling.

Not to mention that 【Azure Wave Blade】 itself has no negative characteristics, and several effects are bonuses in terms of combat ability.

The only one with usage conditions, the physical strength acceleration recovery effect that requires the whole body to be soaked to trigger, for the Southern Archipelago where he is currently located, with eyes full of ocean terrain, is actually equivalent to no restrictions.

If it weren't for the fact that he already had 【Ember Meteor】 and 【Green Pine】 as conventional combat weapons on his body, if he were a novice who had just gone to sea, it would be almost impossible to refuse this piece of equipment almost tailored for maritime combat. ===== CHAPTER 406 =====
