Chapter 207 Learning

The officer held a piece of grass in his mouth, leaning against the door, watching the four captive adventurers who had been untied.

He chewed it and felt the smell of grass gradually escaping from his mouth.

It was slightly bitter, but also a little sweet.

The grass root that was chewed in his mouth rarely pulled him out of the smell of gunpowder in the room, and boosted his thoughts that had been somewhat revived by gunpowder.

The officer did not hate the smell of gunpowder and fire, but too much of it was inevitably uncomfortable.

His task was to guard these captives and prevent them from escaping in the chaos. Others who could still move began to work. Soldiers and officers did not know how to deal with these smooth-skinned floating rays, so they could only collect them and pile them together.

At the same time, they helped their comrades collect the bodies and sorted out the clothes and weapons they left behind.

The sun was bright outside, shining into the house, reflecting a piece of smoke floating in the air, illuminating the different faces of the adventurers, and his sight cycled inside and outside the house.

Those female mages could indeed help heal the wounds on the soldiers' shoulders. The spells they cast shone with a light green glow, healing the soldiers' wounds.

The officer recalled that no one had seen a broken spell model constructed in his hands. The broken model could not bear the input source, and it shattered into light spots after a slight flicker and disappeared into the air.

Not enough, the knowledge is not sufficient.

A complete spell model cannot be constructed.

Until he saw the lord's figure appear in his sight, he dispersed the model he had constructed for the nth time in his hand, and pointed to two soldiers who were responsible for cutting the bone blades of floating rays outside to let them guard the captives.

The largest of these floating rays can be as wide as a person's open arm, but they are light and soft, and can be lifted by one person. The small ones are only as long as a forearm and can be lifted by one hand. Their bone blades and tail spines are not fully developed.

Only by cutting off the bone blades on their bodies can the soldiers safely hold these large rays, otherwise they are easily scratched.

The officer then pointed at Hackett and asked him to follow him.

"You, don't you want to see the lord? Follow me."

The officer saluted Ji Lin, and Ji Lin nodded in return, looking at Hackett who was following the officer with some surprise.

On the way here, he was thinking about how to deal with these floating rays. After all, they had never come into contact with this kind of sky island creatures, so it would be better to find some people who are more familiar with local creatures to help them work.

For example, these adventurer captives.

The adventurers must have more information about the creatures in this world than the expedition team that has just set foot in this world. With their understanding of this world, they can effectively cut and decompose these large and flying rays that fly very fast.

Ji Lin's mouth curled up a smile.

The other party took the initiative to find him, saving him some effort.

Ji Lin had already drawn a bottom line for the rights that this group of adventurers could have from the moment he planned to use them. This group of captives will not have freedom in the short term.

At least before the territory completely controls all the sky islands, there will be a special officer responsible for keeping an eye on this group of people.

These adventurers cannot be allowed to convey the information that they are here. Ji Lin will not allow them to enter the territory because of their unreliable loyalty.

Their final result can only be to stay at the outpost and provide information to the expedition team under surveillance. Ji Lin's current military strength is not enough for him to ignore the natives... This situation will not last too long.

In addition to leaving, he will try his best to satisfy these captives with other living conditions and food.

"Lord... Lord, hello, we are actually a team of adventurers, hired to mine floating stones here..."

Hackett shivered and looked at the young man in front of him who was respected by the officers as Lord, his tail drooping.

This is their second meeting.

The officer was willing to take him to see the person in charge of this outpost at his request, which was quite a face-saving thing for him. Hackett would not ask for too much from this.

Adventurers, in a more elegant and modern way, are military contractors. They all work for money, with questionable moral standards, and take on everything that their employers don't want to do - one of the oldest professions since the birth of civilization, mercenaries.

Ji Lin looked at Hackett with ears and a tail with interest. His pointed triangular ears should be a wolf.

At least it's a canine, but he's not sure.

"Hire? It's interesting, but I want to see what you can do."

Ji Lin took advantage of Hackett's words and led the topic to the direction he wanted. Ji Lin suddenly felt like an NPC issuing tasks.

But he was issuing tasks to the native NPC in a similar position to a player, which was very strange.

But this feeling is not bad.

'Ah, welcome, traveler, but I have a sheep that is lost. Can you please help me find it? ', 'Before setting off, do you want to play a hand of xx cards with me?'

Ji Lin chuckled at his own behavior in his heart, and still maintained his poker face outside, which made Hackett panic.

"We just killed 280 stingrays. Let's teach our soldiers how to deal with this kind of thing... We won't kill you, don't worry."

Thirty officers and two managers formed a circle, and they specially picked the largest stingray and placed it on the wooden board, waiting for Hackett to give them a dissection lesson.

Hackett swallowed his saliva, picked up the extremely sharp rune dagger they had returned to him, and began to decompose the floating ray. As the most common small predator in this sky island world, he knew these things by heart, if not by heart.

Surrounded by a group of officers in gray uniforms, who were still holding draft books in their hands, Hackett felt under great pressure.

Every time he made a move, he had to explain to these officers why he made this move. When one of the officers asked Hackett a question, he had to explain it to them patiently.

His life and the lives of his team were in their hands.

Hackett lowered his head, injected energy to control the rune circuit of the dagger in his hand to trigger, making it sharp, and calmed down to focus on decomposing the floating ray in front of him.

Cutting along the spine, the blade was stained with a light blue blood stain, revealing translucent flesh with a little blue blood. With a pull of the knife tip, Hackett can peel off half of the skin of the floating ray along the opening of the blade.

There are many valuable organs on the floating ray.

A layer of skin with excellent toughness and waterproof performance, strong functionality, two bone blades that can be comparable to steel blades without polishing, and its softer spine with extremely sharp bone spurs.

The most valuable are two floating stone resonance amplifier chambers that look like a row of fish eggs. The flesh and blood and floating stones inside grow together, and faint purple light flashes in the interlaced silk screen. The floating ray relies on these two floating stone amplifier chambers to fly freely in the air.

The blood of the floating ray is a very good spell medium material, and its bone blades and spine can also be ground into powder to become medium materials.
