299.Ghost ship
"Deng Ren and the others are gone?!"
After getting the news that Deng Ren and the others were missing, Jiang Xiao couldn't sit still at home.
Deng Ren and the others were his good friends, so it was impossible for Jiang Xiao to ignore him or turn a deaf ear to him.
Jiang Xiao quickly booked a flight back to school.
"Ghost ship?!"
Looking at the information on the school's official website, Jiang Xiao frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
There have always been rumors about ghost ships in the Nanhai University forum.
Many seniors said they had seen ghost ships, and their descriptions were so clear that it was difficult to tell whether they were true or false.
But someone recorded the ghost ships described by these seniors and found that the images were very different.
Many people think that ghost ships are fake. There can't be a fleet of ghost ships, right?
But since the establishment of Nanhai University, rumors of ghost ships have been very popular. Some students in every class say they have seen ghost ships.
During the haunting of the ghost ship, some students even disappeared from the campus.
There are obviously protective shields, but there are still cases of students disappearing mysteriously.
This incident attracted widespread attention, and the empire even sent the King of Heaven to investigate the matter, but in the end nothing came of it.
Now, the ghost ship has reappeared, and images of it have been exposed for the first time.
Jiang Xiao looked at the photo pinned to the top of the forum. There were four people on the photo.
These four people are none other than Jiang Xiao's friends, namely Deng Ren, Ye Yu, Xu Jinbao and Zhang Youyou.
Deng Ren and the four of them took over the task of expelling pirates and protecting the empire's fishermen at sea.
While expelling a group of pirates, Deng Ren and the others mysteriously disappeared in a certain area on the high seas, leaving only a few speedboats in place.
Judging from the images circulated on the ship, Deng Ren and the others encountered a storm at sea, and a huge ghost ship swallowed them up in the storm.
But here's the weird thing!
The school reported to the Imperial Meteorological Department that there was no sea storm in this area that day, not even a single dark cloud.
The disappearance of Deng Ren and others confirmed that the controversial ghost ship did exist.
As a result, the school professor predicted the future based on the photos of the ghost ship left behind.
Through the future, I saw that the ghost ship would reappear in the sea area where Deng Ren and the others disappeared in half a month.
To this end, the school set up a rescue team to prepare to go deep into the sea area, and simultaneously released the rescue mission on the mission website.
Mission restrictions: Students with at least one B-level elf can sign up.
Because the mission rewards are extremely generous, many elite students are attracted to participate.
What Nanhai University expressed was that they wanted to see people alive and their bodies dead, and they would bring Deng Ren and the others back no matter what.
Jiang Xiao naturally couldn't miss this rescue mission, so he decisively signed up.
Through the relationship between his senior brother Professor Zhao, Jiang Xiao jumped directly into the rescue team.
………………
After hastily bidding farewell to Jiang's father and mother, Jiang Xiao took a plane back to Jingluo Island.
The next day, the rescue team gathered in the school auditorium. There were 30 people in the rescue team, divided into three groups, and each group was led by a mentor.
The instructor who leads Jiang Xiao's group is the school's second-level instructor: Cheng Jun.
Jiang Xiao had some impressions of Cheng Jun. He remembered that when selecting a mentor, this man was the first to send him an invitation.
Instructor Cheng specializes in electric attributes. The ace elf is said to be an electric dragon and is nicknamed Thunder Dragon in school.
"Dear students, you are all the elites of the school. Whether we can save our classmates during this rescue mission depends entirely on you."
Cheng Jun had a strange feeling when he spoke.
Jiang Xiao even rolled his eyes. You are the team leader. Are you praising us to the sky because you want to promote our subjective initiative?
Cheng Jun didn't say much, he just asked them to pay attention to their own safety. The ghost ship was not simple, so they should ensure their own safety first before looking for anyone.
After the team leader's training, the rescue team took an armored ship and headed toward the Devil's Sea, which was the area where Deng Ren and his companions disappeared.
The Devil's Sea is relatively well-known around the world because it has the most active pirate group known to exist.
It is said that before the appearance of elves, there have been a large number of pirates here, and there are countless sunken ships under the Devil's Sea.
The ghost ship is a huge ship that looks like a pirate ship, with seaweed, sand and other things on it, as if it is floating from the bottom of the sea.
Leaning on the railing of the armored ship, Jiang Xiao looked at the majestic sea with steady eyes.
This time, it is still very dangerous to stay away from the imperial waters and enter the devil's waters on the high seas, but Jiang Xiao is willing to take the risk.
As the armored ship approached the Devil's Sea, Jiang Xiao discovered that the elves living in the nearby sea had also changed slightly, such as becoming more grumpy.
Along the way, Jiang Xiao and the others encountered many wild elves attacking the armored ship.
In particular, the schools of sharp tooth fish and savage bass are the most violent. They come to attack in groups, and each of them is not afraid of death.
In response, Jiang Xiao released the Flying Mantis just in time for him to practice leveling. Others also followed suit. Although these wild elves were of low level, there were so many of them that they couldn't stand it.
The flying mantis struck the air with a sharp blade, and more than a dozen elves lost their ability to fight.
"Everyone, please pay attention. The armored ship is approaching the Devil's Sea. There are a large number of brutal pirates here. Everyone must be alert!"
The announcement on the ironclad ship rang.
"Tch! Which pirate who doesn't open his eyes would dare to come over after seeing our ship?" a student said with disdain.
Many people nodded in agreement. Their armored ships were modified warships currently in service, and pirates with some discernment would not dare to provoke them.
"Woooo!!"
But the next moment, a warning whistle sounded on the armored ship, and everyone was stunned.
"Many unknown ships were spotted approaching!"
"It's a pirate! Everyone is on alert! One group is the left ship, the second group is the right ship, and the third group is responsible for the front and rear of the ironclad ship. Everyone is in position quickly!!"
The announcement from the ironclad ship came again.
The next moment, Jiang Xiao and other rescue team members quickly rushed to their responsible positions.
Jiang Xiao is in the third group of the rescue team and is responsible for the rear security tasks of the ironclad ship.
He formed a team with four other people, and after more than ten days of running in, he was able to exert [-]% of his combat power.
The student who said it was impossible for pirates to come was in Jiang Xiao's group and was also responsible for the security of the rear ship.
"These garbage of the sea, I must bury them in the sea!"
The man said angrily and released his ace elf: Gyarados.
The ironclad stopped at sea.
A group of pirates riding speedboats or water elves rushed over quickly.
These pirates did not dare to get close to the ship, but kept patrolling around the ironclad.
Most of these pirate elves are fanged fish, giant tooth sharks, savage bass and the like.
The pirate leader was riding a giant tooth shark, and there was a motorboat-like device on the back of the giant tooth shark for people to ride on.
These pirates looked at the armored ship greedily and were ready to rob it.
