I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain Chapter 523

Chapter 523 Hanging Ghost Tree

The University of Michigan expedition team naturally couldn't spare a hand to solve this matter.

In order to study transparent caves in the shortest possible time, old professors of various disciplines now find it troublesome to eat and drink water, racing against time.

Even if you take an aircraft to find someone, it will take at least a few hours and half a day.

It's really important, I'm afraid the day lily will be cold by the time they pass by.

The Church of the Goddess of Wisdom cannot go away either. The demigods at least have the task of protecting the University of Michigan expedition team and have no free time to manage other people's affairs.

After much deliberation, there was only one in the camp that was strong enough to protect itself, and could reach the area where the signal flare was released in an instant.

The most important thing is that He is free enough.

Above the Beisen Mountains, Tufu rose high in the air, looking at the white world below.

The temperature in the upper layers of the atmosphere, which is full of wind and snow, has dropped quite low, and the complex and changeable climate has caused the howling cold wind to continuously sweep over.

"This is it."

Tu Fu looked up to see where the smoke had dissipated.

In the canyon terrain between two large mountain ranges, even with the eagle eye view, there is no trace of a camp, not even half a person.

"Isn't it in this area?"

Tu Fu raised the height in the air again, and stayed at about 10,000 meters. He casually glanced at the environment of this ice sheet world.

His several exploration and search capabilities were more or less suppressed, and his field of vision and dynamic capture capabilities were significantly reduced.

The Polar Continent obviously had a force higher than it forcibly set foot in it, probably because of the existence of a high-level space above the dome, shielding everything here.

Even if it is already at the demigod level, the unreached area is a vast expanse of whiteness, which must be explored by oneself.

"Hush—"

He intensified his speed in vain, and his figure remained unabated in the snowy weather. He rushed violently along the direction in which the signal flare was released in memory, and moved at an extremely fast speed in the area between the two snow-capped mountains.

Suddenly, there was a loud wind blowing in my ears, so fast that even the falling snowflakes couldn't touch my upper body.

Snow rabbits jumping high and shaking snowflakes, penguins with long hairs catching fish by the river bank, snowflakes, dewdrops, and the love and killing of animals in nature, everything is clearly visible.

Only the red-haired baboons with low IQ are missing.

At this moment, Tu Fu is like a real eagle soaring in the sky, with a panoramic view of every move on the ground.

"found it."

Finally, it took about ten minutes, and after a quick preview in mid-air, he found the troop that fired the signal flare.

Some of them wore the uniforms of the academy, while others were the uniforms of soldiers from polar countries.

In a dangerous situation but not even equipped, the soldiers seem to have nothing in their empty backpacks.

A group of about a dozen people were struggling hard in the snow. These people hugged each other tightly to keep each other warm, and it was already impossible to tell whether they were dead or alive.

Presumably it was a solitary in-depth investigation team, who set off to the polar region without any preparation, and met each other by accident after being in trouble.

"Are you the ones who fired the signal flare just now?"

At this time, in Beisen Valley, a trio pulled by four sled dogs appeared.

Everyone has spirituality flowing out of their bodies, and they are not weak transcendents. They took the initiative to talk to the investigation group that was already curled up into ice.

"So there are others"

Tu Fu let out a soft sound. It seems that there are more than one team active nearby, so there is no need to bother him to make a move.

"Help... help..."

Conscious people among the crowd of trapped people on the snow, even with chapped lips that have lost half of their blood, use the common language to open and close to the coming people for help.

"Don't worry, our camp is nearby, and there is enough food, hot water and heating equipment there."

The rescuers on the sled dogs took the initiative to express their kindness to each other, and the two teams connected immediately.

Seeing that someone had already gone to help, he didn't go down to make a fuss, turned his head and prepared to leave.

The terrible thing happened the moment Tu Fu turned his head.

"Wow, woof..."

The sled dogs driven by those people, just like the University of Mississauga expedition team arriving before the Venus Barracks, suddenly barked for no reason at the victims, and abruptly stopped the way forward.

"Be good, be obedient."

The people on the sled didn't know what to do, and gently stroked the heads of the polar dogs, signaling them to be quiet.

"Wait, it seems that something is wrong, where is your camp? And why people from the Seven Schools Alliance will mix with Venus soldiers, you'd better explain it clearly."

The smart people on the sled car noticed that there were no tents in this area, no means of transportation available, nothing, and the nearest military camp was hundreds of kilometers away.

The sudden appearance of this messy, disordered group of people on the snow always seemed out of place.

Silence.

What responded to him was a moment of silence. Those "people" who had only breathed a sigh of relief, after a "swish", their bodies were slowly lifted like puppets, and the soles of their feet were completely off the ground.

Looking carefully at the group of rescuers, they all looked ashen, and the skin on their faces had already been frozen purple.

As if a unified concept had been instilled in their minds, they collectively raised their heads slowly and opened their empty eyes, staring at the few rescuers who came.

There was an indescribably weird feeling at the scene.

"It's not frostbite, it's a corpse spot!"

Seeing Tu Fu, he recognized at a glance that this group of people had been dead for a long time, and they were controlled by something.

Under the original snow, the dense branches quickly filled the soil, and the gray-brown trees similar to the locust tree grew out of thin air with a height of more than ten meters.

The twisted and coiled branches are like human palms that can move freely, and those branches that should have been dry suddenly become extremely full, as if they were filled with nutrients.

Those people who are almost suspended in the air have their heads inserted by the branches of the "locust tree", so they can stand up from the ground.

On the old tree, there are dozens of people hanging densely, the number is much more than before.

Some of them were wearing the clothes of one of the Seven Schools Alliance, some were the military uniforms of soldiers from the polar countries, and some were the uniforms of the church. These clothes can easily identify the identity of the deceased.

The number of people who died and the degree of shock were comparable to that of the missing expedition team from the Seven Schools Alliance.

Those people seemed to be hanged on a tree, extremely weird.

In Tu Fu's eyes, this strange locust tree looks like a Christmas tree full of gifts, which is more impactful than the "slaughterhouse" just seen, and the sanity value will inevitably begin to decline.

"Plop—"

The polar sled dogs of the rescuers finally broke free from the reins and fell off their owners due to the terrible pressure and the huge gap in life levels, and moved suddenly in the opposite direction.

"It...they... are going to escape..."

The man on the big locust tree who asked for help just now uttered these words dully.

Another woman hanging not far from it seems to be responding to its words, and seems to be talking to herself: "I can't go!"

"Crack, click, click..."

The moment the whisper sounded, a dry branch suddenly grew out of the ground, piercing through the ice quickly and grabbing the polar sled dog steadily like a palm.

The poor pup's body shrunk rapidly, and the flesh and blood in his body was sucked dry, leaving only a layer of fur in the blink of an eye.

This way of killing people without blood has already scared the three people who came to the rescue.

Looking at the strange creature that was far above them, being stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes, it was already strong enough not to be frightened.

"Move... hands..."

A transcendent knight who was probably around Sequence 6, wielded a large sword and stabbed violently at the big locust tree, rubbed out a burst of sparks with the blow with all his strength,

"Crack!"

The two branches were like palms, blocking the giant sword abruptly, unable to move forward an inch.

The other two also plucked up their courage, mobilizing their spirituality one after another to attack that terrifying existence.

A burst of flames burned on the locust tree immediately, that person was floating in mid-air to manipulate the flames, and the other person was a craftsman, who also released a puppet to attack this strange creature.

But the difference between the two is like a child and an adult, that weird tree of hanged ghosts keeps manipulating its branches.

Several extraordinary people still had the strength to fight it at first, but after the fight, they suddenly realized that the so-called attack was more like scraping. After ten rounds of fighting, the opponent didn't even have a trace, and the big locust tree just didn't kill them.

At first, the weird locust tree could only withstand the joint attack of the three extraordinary people.

After the three no matter, they have been able to avoid being touched by their attack methods.

When the battle progressed to the tenth round, whether it was a coincidence or calculation, whether it was the knight's great sword, the witch's elemental attack, or the craftsman's puppet beast's siege, they couldn't even touch the torso of the big locust tree.

As if those attacks had been predicted in advance.

"It can't be... it can't be studying their attack methods."

Tu Fu, who was standing still in the air and observing the battle, suddenly had this idea in his mind.

Even he couldn't help being taken aback.

Sure enough, as soon as this conjecture appeared, hanging a large locust tree where several people were already familiar with their fighting methods, the leisure and elegance to continue fighting was gone.

With a "swish", more branches grew from all directions.

It was just one round, and dense branches instantly appeared at the place where these extraordinary people appeared in the next moment, entangled their hands and feet, and a thick branch exerted force from top to bottom,

The "click" easily pierced the heads of several people, and the branches retracted and hung in the air, turning them into a part of the tree of hanged ghosts.

After completely sucking those people dry, the big pagoda tree stopped in place for a while, and countless branches moved quickly, and the subsequent actions made Tu Fu who was stagnant in mid-air feel a shudder.

It arranges the dead bodies it has captured,

The most important thing is to put people who wear the same clothes together.
