Pirates: Ghosts Walking in the Dark

"Ho...ho..."

The words that were about to come out of the pirate's throat turned into a series of whooshing sounds.

He clutched his throat, his eyes widened to the point of bulging out of their sockets, greedily trying to suck in air.

At this time, a rough spear with a tip covered with rust and dried blood poked out of the darkness, piercing the pirate's chest with a slight deviation, killing him completely.

It was Green and House who took action.

Green glanced at House and took back the spear, caught the body and placed it gently on the ground. He whispered: "Don't be nervous, just treat them as wild beasts in the forest. We are hunters now, and we are the hunters who hunt them!"

House took a deep breath, looked away from the pirate's bulging eyes on the ground, and nodded slightly: "I know, next one!"

Just now, the two of them were able to deal with the pirate silently, but because House was a little nervous and made the sound of footsteps, the other party almost succeeded in warning him.

Green's eyes were full of coldness. Although he had only been in this world for a few years, he had witnessed several brutal killings. As an adult soul, he had already adjusted his senses. Even the corpses were not his. First time meeting.

He secretly touched his chest, which was left when he assassinated a pirate two years ago. That short battle almost killed him.

If it weren't for the generally strong physiques of people in this world, he might have died of a bacterial infection long ago.

His thoughts were brought back to reality. In front of him was House's crouched figure, and in the darkness before him was the ferocious pirate.

Green regained his composure and pulled the bow halfway to ensure that it could be shot out as quickly as possible.

The two of them moved forward again along the shadows, but when Green passed the pirate's body, he made a hidden hook with his right hand, and a dim light ball immediately appeared on the body, flew to the palm of his hand in an instant, and then merged into it.

All this happened in an instant, and even House didn't notice Green's little move.

After the light group integrated into his body, Green immediately felt his body's strength begin to grow.

This is a comprehensive growth. Bones, muscles, skin, blood vessels, and internal organs are all slightly enhanced. The body's strength, endurance, resistance, and speed are all enhanced.

However, this enhancement is very weak, so weak that even Green, the instigator, needs to sense it carefully.

This is one of the abilities he gained after coming to this world.

Although abilities are acquired here, the abilities themselves do not belong to this world.

Soul refining, this is the name of the ability.

When Green arrived in the world, he held three special pieces of paper in his hands, which were three Two-dimensional trading invitations.

You can specify or randomly connect to characters in Two-dimensional by consuming invitation letters, and conduct transactions with each other.

Green's ability is to consume an invitation letter and conduct a transaction with an unknown entity that is quite confusing from beginning to end.

Although he initiated the transaction, it was dominated by the other party from beginning to end.

In a daze, he exchanged one of his emotions for the ability called 'soul refining'.

To this day, Green is still a little scared when he recalls that strange transaction.

The killing in the darkness continued. After slightly increasing his physical strength, Green turned his eyes to the other pirate.

'Soul Refining' is very powerful. From the current perspective, it is a quick and powerful shortcut. As for the magic path, Green doesn't care much about it.

It is impossible to live in this dangerous world without taking some risks.

The pirate in front of him was hidden between two houses. There was a low haystack there, just enough to prevent him from being easily discovered.

However, this did not affect the eyes of Green and House at all. They could accurately find prey in the forest, let alone these novice pirates.

Although House was still a little nervous this time, fortunately, he didn't make any mistakes.

An arrow sealed his throat, and a spear pierced his heart. The pirate died unwillingly without even noticing the enemy behind him.

However, this time Green did not use the 'soul refining' ability again, because this ability has great limitations, that is, it cannot swallow power that exceeds its limit in a short period of time.

Although he has been a human for two lives, his soul strength is not strong, at least it cannot allow him to devour more people in a short period of time.

Moreover, the sequelae of the 'soul refining' ability are also very strong and will put him in severe pain.

Green once experimented with wild beasts in the forest. The 'soul refining' ability reaches its limit after being used once a day. If it is a powerful person or beast, it is normal for it to take several days to digest after swallowing.

The strength of the pirate he just swallowed was average, that is, the level of an ordinary adult man. At this level, it only takes one night of digestion to use the 'soul refining' ability again. Moreover, the sequelae are very mild, and the pain caused by it is only for those who have used it for a few times. For Green, who has less ability, it is nothing.

There are a total of eight pirates in this area. Except for the two leading pirates, the other six are novices. They are still immersed in the joy of killing and have not noticed that death has come.

"Pfft!"

There was a faint sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh, and a pirate fell down with a face full of disbelief. Before he died, two not-so-tall figures were reflected in his eyes.

"Who!!??"

Perhaps it was because there were no intruders from the surrounding village for the time being, so it fell into silence, and the assassination of the two was finally discovered.

An old pirate leading the team shouted loudly and looked warily towards the place where the sound came from.

"Everyone, be careful! There are enemies, everyone come out and gather together!"

However, there were only two pirates who ran out after hearing his voice, which made his eyes darken.

He and the other pirate next to him looked at each other. The two of them had brought six newcomers to practice this time, but now there were only two left.

In other words, the other four have been poisoned.

"Damn it! Who is it? Come out, if you have the guts, come out. I will make you look good!"

The pirate leading the team yelled angrily.

Four people died under his own command. He will definitely be punished by the captain when he returns. He must kill the enemy to make up for his fault. The captain's punishment may be lighter.

Seeing that there was no movement around for a long time, another pirate's face turned ferocious and he shouted: "Damn it, the captain won't spare us even if we go back. If we kill them, we can reduce the punishment."

As he spoke, he looked at the other two newcomers and threatened: "You two, if you don't want to die, come with us."

Of course the two newcomers didn't dare to say no, so they could only hold onto their weapons and charge forward together.

I saw the corpses of dead pirates lying in the shadows, with scarlet blood flowing all over the floor. It was only when I got closer that I could smell the pungent smell of blood.

The two old pirates were full of anger and continued to move forward menacingly, followed by two newcomers with pale faces. They were all frightened by the death of their fellow newcomers. Their unwilling eyes made them think of the enemy's attack. of coldness.

After turning around a house, two short figures were about to disappear into the darkness in the distance. Four pirates happened to see this scene.

They were originally worried about the number and strength of the enemy, but now they were overjoyed. The murderers turned out to be two imps, and they ran away when they saw a few of them. They must have used despicable means to succeed.

"there!"

"It's two brats, rush up and kill them!!!"

"Damn it! Those idiots were so vigilant that they were killed by two brats in a sneak attack."

After seeing their enemies clearly, the pirates were completely relieved and rushed over with grins.

"Damn, these pirates react too fast, run!"

Green, who had already run some distance, said quickly in a deep voice.

As long as they wait a little longer, they can distance themselves again and hide, and then they will be safe. Unfortunately, they were discovered by the pirates who reacted at the last moment.

The two of them ran wildly, and the dark environment could not stop them at all. They were already familiar with every inch of the land here, and they could walk around with their eyes closed.

The speed of the two people has reached the fastest, but the footsteps behind them are still getting faster and faster.

The sound of the night wind blowing on the treetops was interrupted by the sudden intrusion of running sounds in the quiet night. Two short figures fled out of the village in panic.

The moment they came out, four pirates ran out immediately after them.

"Hahaha, little brats, let's see where you run." A pirate laughed ferociously while running, waving the machete in his hand and slashing behind the two of them from time to time, as if he was looking for a suitable place to strike. .

Green and House didn't dare to pause for a moment. They could assassinate the enemy in the dark, but they couldn't do a head-on confrontation. After all, they were too young, and they couldn't compare with each other in terms of physical strength and strength.

"Green, this... this is not an option. Let's... run away separately. Maybe someone can... escape." House said breathlessly.

Green was very tired at this time. If he hadn't accidentally discovered that he had gained some physical strength, he might not have been able to hold on long ago.

"No..., no!" Green refused.

Just kidding, wouldn't running away separately be a good opportunity for people to defeat you one by one?

"Now...it's not the time yet, wait...it's really the moment of life and death..."

The two briefly exchanged a few words, then closed their mouths and stopped talking, conserving every ounce of energy for escape.

Suddenly, Green's eyes lit up, and a dense forest appeared in the distance.

"Quick, enter the forest!"

House also discovered the forest not far away, his eyes widened, and he ran over without hesitation.

Before they were caught up, the two of them escaped into the forest and disappeared among the lush foliage.

"Damn it! These two brats are so good at running away. I will cut off their heads when I catch them."

"Hehe, if the captain knew that these two brats killed four of us newcomers, he would definitely not blame us. If he was killed by two brats, he deserved to die!"

The pirates stopped at the edge of the forest, then cursed and used their knives to cut a way in.

It seemed that they were determined to catch the two of them.

What they didn't know was that in the dark forest, two pairs of bright eyes were observing them through the dense branches and leaves.

The experienced hunter has been making preparations silently, and the prey of one of the protagonists is also slowly entering.

The identities of prey and hunter have quietly undergone astonishing changes.
