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

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 Goddess of Wisdom Church can't go away either. At least the demigods' mission is to protect the expedition team from the University of Michigan, and they don't have 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.

Most importantly, he is free enough.

...

Above the Beisen Mountains, Tu Fu rose high in the air, looking down at the world filled with whiteness.

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 makes the howling cold wind constantly sweep over.

"That's it."

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

In the canyon terrain between the two large mountain ranges, even with an eagle eye view, there was 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.

Several of his exploration and search capabilities were more or less suppressed, and his field of vision and motion capture capabilities were significantly reduced.

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

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

"Hush—"

He speeded up in vain, his figure remained undiminished in the ice and snow, and violently rushed in the direction of the signal bomb released in memory, moving at an extremely fast speed in the area between the two snow mountains.

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 unit that fired the signal flare.

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

In a dangerous situation, they don't even have complete equipment. The soldiers seem to have nothing in their empty backpacks.

A group of about a dozen people struggled 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, the lonely army went deep into the expedition team and set off to the polar region without any preparation. After being in trouble, they met each other by accident.

"Are you the ones who fired the 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 team that was already curled up into ice.

"There are others"

Tu Fu let out a sigh, it seems that there are more than one dense team moving nearby, so there is no need to trouble 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, tried to open and close to the coming people in common language for help.

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

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 any further, 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 Michigan expedition team arriving before the Venus barracks, suddenly barked for no reason at the victims, and abruptly stopped the way forward.

"Hey, listen to me."

The people on the sled didn't know why, and gently stroked the polar dogs' heads, 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 make it clear first."

The smart guy on the sleigh noticed that there were no tents in this area, no transport available, nothing, and the nearest military camp was a few hundred kilometers away.

The sudden appearance of this motley and disorderly crowd 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 intently at the rescuers who arrived.

The strange feeling that can't be expressed at the scene.

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

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

"Ugh—"

Under the original snow, dense branches quickly filled the soil, and a gray-brown tree like a 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 are filled with nutrients.

Those 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 were dozens of people hanging densely, the number was much more than before.

Some of them were dressed in 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... want to escape..."

The man on the big locust tree who asked for help just now uttered these few 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 as firmly as 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 whose body was far above them, being stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes, it was considered strong enough not to be frightened.

"Move... hands..."

A transcendent knight who was around Sequence 6 stabbed violently at the big locust tree with a big sword, rubbed 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 the terrifying existence.

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

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

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

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

After the three no matter, it has been able to not be touched by their attack methods.

When the battle progressed to the tenth round, whether it was a coincidence or a calculation, no matter 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.

It was as if those attacks had been predicted in advance.

"Couldn't it be... It wouldn'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 by this time.

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.

In just one round, dense branches instantly appeared at the place where these extraordinary people appeared next, 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 locust tree stopped in place for a while, and its countless branches moved quickly, and the subsequent movement made Tufu who was stagnant in mid-air feel a shudder.

It arranges the corpses it has captured,

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