Seeing that the other party was not asleep yet, Li Xiubai spoke.
"Um."
Captain Liebert stared at the firelight and made a faint nasal noise.
"Are you a king-level martial artist?"
Li Xiubai was quite curious about this, because he found that he could not sense the level of Captain Liebert's strength at all.
Even if he caught a glimpse of the Black Sea King, he could feel the surging life energy in his body.
"no."
Captain Liebert shook his head, and then continued: "I am a star-level martial artist."
Star level?
Li Xiubai was stunned when he heard this. This was the first time he had heard of this realm.
"Yinyi, is the star-level martial artist the next stage of the king-level? What are the standards for reaching this stage?"
"Sorry, Master, I only have information about king-level martial arts masters in my database! My creator has not uploaded the subsequent realms," Silver Wing replied.
Hearing this, Li Xiubai couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
However, Fat Scorpion said at the beginning that martial arts masters are divided into two stages, the king level and the outer stage.
Therefore, the star level must have surpassed the king level and reached the level of the outer world stage.
I just don’t know how powerful a martial artist of this level is.
but...
Since Captain Lebert is a star-level martial artist, why didn't he take action when the Black Sea King attacked his and others?
"You must be wondering why I didn't stop the Black Sea King when he attacked us, right?"
Captain Lebert raised his head, looked at the stars in the sky, and said slowly.
"....Um."
Li Xiubai nodded.
"Because I'm hurt..."
Captain Liebert turned his head and glanced at the sleeping Carl, and then slowly pulled up the trousers of his right leg.
There was a strange wound on his calf!
Half of the calf muscle disappeared, and it was filled with dark blue light, which continued to extend to all parts of the body!
"A long time ago, I encountered a strange creature, and its power was also very strange, unlike any system I know.
Its body, spirit, and energy have all reached an extremely terrifying level!"
Normally, any system will have its own shortcomings.
For example, martial arts masters are mentally weaker than other professions, magicians are physically weak, and mechanics are energetically weak.
There is almost no comprehensive and powerful system.
Of course, Li Xiubai is an exception. His cultivation method does not belong to this world.
"When I was fighting it, it injured my right leg, but I also killed it! Originally, this matter ended there.
But I gradually discovered that the injuries it left on my body were filled with a terrifying destructive power and could not be healed at all!
And, as time goes by, this power begins to gradually destroy my entire body!"
Captain Lebert said, reaching out and unzipping the clothes from his chest.
The dark blue energy has spread here!
And the skin and flesh under the dark blue energy have shown a corpse-like decay!
Li Xiubai lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "Does everyone know about your injury?"
"I haven't told them, but Karl is a very smart kid, he should already know it! He even asked me about the location of Hutton's Forest before."
Liebert raised his eyelids and said calmly.
"This child?"
"Well, although Carl looks older, he is only eighteen years old." Captain Liebert said.
"???"
Li Xiubai turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man's face.
This person is eighteen years old!
I believe you when you say thirty-eight...
"Captain, let's not talk about this. You just said that Karl asked about the location of Hutton's Forest. Can it be a sacred tree that can heal your injuries?"
The corners of Li Xiubai's mouth twitched slightly and he changed the topic.
If we continue to talk about this topic, we will not be so friendly to ourselves.
"It can't be cured."
There was no emotion in Captain Lebert's eyes. He had long been indifferent to his own life and death.
I just hope that I can arrange some things before I die.
"Can't it be cured? Captain, although I have never seen the holy tree, I have come into contact with its descendants. It should have extremely powerful life energy, so it shouldn't be able to cure your injuries!"
"When Fat Scorpion was ten years old, I sent him back to Hutton Forest. I was lucky enough to see the Holy Tree! The life energy of the Holy Tree is very powerful, but for this kind of destructive energy..."
Captain Liebert shook his head and did not continue.
"When Fat Scorpion turns ten, send him back to Hutton Forest?!"
Li Xiubai was slightly startled and looked at Captain Liebert in confusion.
Didn't Fat Scorpion grow up in Hutton Forest?
"Well... when Fat Scorpion was very young, the Hutton Forest was not closed to the outside world. He went out with his parents, but he was attacked by the Nansha Federation. His parents were killed on the spot, and he almost died there.
I happened to pass by and rescued him. When he grew up, I realized that he was from the Hutton tribe, so I sent him back.
But then, for some unknown reason, he sneaked out again."
"What about Carl?"
Li Xiubai lowered his head and asked aloud.
He seemed to have guessed why the crew respected this fierce and silent captain so much.
"Karl... he should be the last bloodline of a certain civilization. When I met him, he and his tribe were guarding the ancient ruins to resist the robbery of the Nansha Federation.
Before his people died, they handed over the Field and Carl to me."
"That ruin is the Field, right?"
No wonder sometimes, Carl seems to know how to operate the Field better than Captain Liebert.
It turns out that this ship is a relic of his civilization...
"Well... Like Barton, and many people on the ship, more or less, they are also orphans whose ethnic groups were massacred by the Nansha Federation.
When they were very young, they sailed around with me."
Captain Lebert said, with a look of hatred in his eyes.
Then it gradually disappeared, and a trace of warmth actually appeared on that ferocious face!
It's like thinking of some past events.
"So, do you know why I want you to join the Field?"
"I probably guessed it..."
Li Xiubai lowered his head and did not look into Captain Liebert's eyes.
Because he knew that he could not give the other party a satisfactory answer.
"Over the years, I have traveled almost all over the Nansha Stars, and I have been to other galaxies several times, but I have never seen someone as talented as you!
Although you haven’t said it, I can feel that your path as a martial artist is a path that has never been explored before, and it will surely explode with unparalleled potential and future!”
Captain Liebert looked at Li Xiubai, his eyes full of admiration and appreciation.
