Chapter 45: I Want to Fight a Group

With a flick of his hand, Gune took out a dragon's blood wood bottle containing about three hundred milliliters of reserve.

“Drink this. It will restore you.”

Saying this, Gune helped up Martel.

“Captain, what is this? A medical potion? Why such a big bottle?”

Martel, being helped up, seemed to aggravate his wounds and asked through gritted teeth from the pain.

“I told you to drink, so drink. Stop with all the nonsense. Drink your fill... just finish it.”

If Martel were to drink his fill, it would probably drain the entire pool of Life Spring to barely satisfy him; Martel's appetite was not something ordinary people could match.

Gune's scolding kept Martel from asking further; he directly took the dragon's blood wood bottle and gulped it down, “Glug... glug...”

As Martel drank,

an extremely rich aura of life burst forth.

Old Hatu, crouching nearby, sensed this life aura, first froze, then thought for a few seconds, and when he looked again at what Martel was drinking, a stunned expression froze on his face.

After downing the more than three hundred milliliters in one breath, Martel immediately exclaimed.

“Captain, I feel my wounds healing, and very quickly.”

“You brat, the captain gave you something good, what are you yelling about?”

Old Hatu scolded from the side.

Seeing Old Hatu's expression, Martel shut up.

“It's good that your wounds are healing.” Gune nodded slightly.

Then Gune came to Buster's side.

At this moment, Buster had his eyes tightly shut, with a faint look of pain on his face.

“Lucky this guy has more than one heart, or he'd be dead by now. But even so, his injuries are very severe. Without Life Spring, it would take a week of rest to slowly recover.”

“Can you still drink on your own?”

Gune crouched down and asked.

Buster's resolute face twitched; he opened his eyes and grinned, “Now that the enemy is attacking, I can still take down one or two before I die.”

“Mm.” Nodding, Gune helped Buster up.

“After you drink this, you'll recover from your injuries soon.”

Gune took out a new bottle of Life Spring, also three hundred milliliters.

For their injuries, less than a hundred milliliters would be enough to fully heal them.

But the wonder of Life Spring was that it not only healed their wounds but also merged into their bones, allowing their bodies to rapidly produce blood, make up for lost blood, and restore combat power.

When he took the first sip, Buster's body shook.

He vaguely guessed what this was.

Then Buster gulped it down loudly, “Glug... glug...”, afraid that Gune might take it away.

The restorative effect of this Life Spring was astonishing.

After Gune had the fifth severely wounded crew member drink the Life Spring,

Martel and Buster, who had drunk first, had already stood up.

At this moment, they were exuding a rich life aura, their injuries completely healed, and even their mental state was steadily recovering.

Even Martel's severed arm had begun to slowly grow back; it would fully regenerate in five or six minutes.

Buster's severely damaged heart, which was on the verge of failing, had also fully recovered, leaving no hidden injuries, and was even stronger than before.

In just a minute or two, severe injuries were directly healed, and Martel's limb regenerated.

Although Gune didn't say it,

they could guess that nothing but Life Spring could achieve such an effect.

A moment later,

the five severely wounded crew members all stood up, their injuries completely healed.

“Since you've all recovered, Martel, you and the others go out and stand guard, alert for enemy sneak attacks.”

“I'll discuss the battle plans with the first mates.”

“Mm.” Martel nodded and quickly left the captain's cabin with the others.

After Martel and the others left,

the three first mates looked at Gune with somewhat strange expressions.

They naturally knew what Gune had just taken out.

Since Gune didn't want to say, they naturally wouldn't point it out.

“To be so generous, our captain is no ordinary man,” they all silently marveled.

Looking around the captain's cabin, it was now smashed up: the glass windows, the wooden door, and one side of the wooden wall had a large hole.

Using puppet secret threads probably couldn't seal this place.

Looking out through the window, Gune could feel a sense of being spied on.

Clearly, those enemies had been monitoring the entire Sea Demon Ship from the darkness.

Withdrawing his gaze, with a flick of his hand Gune took out a scroll.

As he infused source power, the scroll released a very strong water-blue energy barrier.

Enveloping the entire captain's cabin within it.

This way, it would be impossible for the enemy to use remote spying means to eavesdrop on their conversation.

After sealing the place, Gune slowly spoke.

“You all know the situation; it's not optimistic.”

“Soon, a large number of Yasha Fishmen will arrive. Although there won't be Transcendent Masters of that level, there will definitely be high-level Transcendents.”

“At the same time, there are humans with the Yasha Fishmen.”

“I think it's likely that those pirates or heretical church experts have allied with these Yasha Fishmen and have some scheme.”

“So they will go all out to destroy us.”

“In the next wave of attacks, their strength will likely overwhelm us in both quantity and quality.”

“Therefore...”

Gune said in a low tone.

“I'll fight alone this time.”

As soon as Gune said this, the others were taken aback.

Captain, are you scared out of your wits and misspoke?

“You heard me right. This battle, I'll handle it alone.”

Gune said in a steady tone.

“Captain, it might be hard for you to fight so many enemies alone.”

“We are all at the fourth tier; at the very least, we can share some of the pressure for you.” Asen Howell said solemnly.

Through their recent battles, they knew that although Gune was only at the mid-third tier,

his strength was no less than that of an ordinary high-fifth-tier spellcaster.

In fact, he was even more formidable than a fifth-tier spellcaster.

After all, they had seen the frequency of Gune's single-second overlaps.

He alone was like a group of spellcasters, with a bombardment effect that was simply astonishing.

“Exactly, Captain. Although we're not as strong as you, we can at least hold off some enemies.”

“Besides, those bastards shattered my heart. I must take revenge, or I won't be able to swallow this anger.”

Buster Johnson, with a fierce aura, waved his fist and said vehemently.

Looking at the three, Gune sighed softly.

“I'm not keeping you out of the fight because of your strength, but because I'm going to use a bizarre sealed object.”

“This sealed object has a large area of lethality.”

“If you're also fighting on the deck and get caught in it, you'll likely die on the spot.”

“Besides, I'm not really forbidding you from fighting.”

“You hide on the second deck first.”

“When the critical moment comes, after I use the treasure to deliver a devastating blow to the enemy and they're all severely injured, I'll call you out.”

“Then you come out and fight, capturing the enemies.”

“This is much better than all of you crowding the deck and preventing me from using my methods and strength.”

After Gune's persuasion, the three deputies nodded slightly.

With that kind of indiscriminate large-scale attack sealed object, if they all crowded the deck, they would indeed easily hurt their own people.

“Also, one more thing: while you're below deck, you can look out through the broken openings at the sea on both sides.”

“But remember, never, ever look up. If you see something you shouldn't, you'll die.” Gune earnestly warned.
