The three companions behind Wren resumed their movements, looking left and right in horror, and the sailor who had been bitten to death by the poisonous dragon before was also safe and sound, and was checking his body up and down. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Good job!" the shadow reappeared at the edge of darkness where the Wren torches could not be found, "You have successfully passed the test. ”

This is really an illusion, and the whole black shadow is a magician?

While Wren guessed the identity of the other party, he didn't plan to speak first, he wanted to hear the next plan of the black shadow.

"I'll let your companion go back to the ship. And you're going to stay on my ship. The Black Shadow was obviously talking to Wren, and Wren had already thought of this possibility, so he just nodded to the Black Shadow and motioned for the other party to continue.

"Your ship follows my ship, and when you get to the place, I will tell you what is to be salvaged. The shadow paused and continued, "Salvaging what I want is more difficult than the test just now. You're not the best performers I've ever met, but you're the most hopeful of helping me get what I want. ”

I don't know if the Shadow is encouraging Wren or if they are the ones who have the best chance of getting something, as he says.

In short, the black shadow did not break his promise, and the five people brought by Wren were all successfully sent back to the Dragon Eagle by him.

Wren, on the other hand, was allowed to move freely around the deck of the ghost ship.

I don't know what spell the black shadow used, but the hole on the deck that was stepped on by Wren has been repaired.

Although it looks like the entire deck is still dilapidated and rotten, it is not beneficial to think that the owner of the ghost ship will not pit Wren again.

Wren had already briefed his companion on the side of the ship about what had happened, and the captain sighed, but still shouted for the sailor to return to his post, and then drove the Dragon Eagle to follow the ghost ship.

In order to take care of the speed of the Dragon Eagle, the ghost ship only kept a half-hull distance from the Dragon Eagle and traveled at the same speed in front of the Dragon Eagle.

The two ships had been trying to navigate the depths of the dark sea, and the light around them was getting dimmer, except for the occasional dark cloud of lightning that made people discern their surroundings, and the rest of the time it was as dark as a night without light.

After about two hours of walking, Wren saw a vertical pillar of light on the sea, which shot straight into the sky, piercing a hole in the thick dark clouds in the sky.

After another half an hour, the ship finally approached a nautical mile outside the pillar of light.

The owner of the ghost ship asked Wren to go down deck and explained the details of the salvage.

It turned out that under the pillar of light, there was a wreck, and inside the wreck there was a magic wooden box, and that wooden box was what the owner of the ghost ship needed.

This pillar of light is inhabited by an octopus sea monster that will block anything that enters the pillar of light.

After explaining the salvage matter, the owner of the ghost ship threw a small bag to Wren: "There are diving beads in it, and you can breathe and swim in the water when you hold it in your mouth." ”

Wren opened the pouch and examined its contents with a small piece of light deliberately created by the owner of the ghost ship.

There were ten thumb-sized pearls, and there was nothing unusual about them, so Wren re-fastened the mouth of the pouch.

"Alright, you can now go back to the ship and get ready. You have a day to prepare, and I'll let you know in a day. After seeing Wren inspect the pouch, the black shadow released Wren away.

A rotting wooden ladder that led down to the deck, and Wren easily followed the wooden ladder back to the deck.

As he approached the side of the ship, a plank protruded directly from the edge of the deck, allowing Wren to easily jump onto the Dragon Eagle as soon as he walked to the edge of the plank.

Looking at the rotten planks, Wren was still worried that the planks would break halfway through, but until he jumped back onto the Dragon Eagle, the planks showed no signs of breaking, which was as strange as a ghost ship.

After Wren returned to the Dragon Eagle, he summoned the captain and first mate and all the team leaders, explained the salvage task in detail, and placed the small bag of diving beads on the table for everyone to circulate.

In the end, Wren asked everyone to vote to make a choice: 1. Fight the ghost ship and escape from here. 2. Tomorrow go into the water to salvage the wooden box.

Most people's choice is to salvage the wooden box, after all, there is no chance of winning the war, and the first to refuse to choose 1 is the captain.

In his opinion, the current Dragon Eagle is simply unable to defeat the weird ghost ship, the place where it was hit by the ghost ship has been checked before, the ghost ship's collision angle is extremely powerful, and with the high speed of the ghost ship, the Dragon Eagle can be broken by it in two strokes at most.

Since you have chosen to salvage the wooden box, you have to determine who will go into the water, because there are only ten diving beads, and you have to make a plan.

The owner of the ghost ship said that the salvage task is more difficult than the test of the Colosseum, so it is certainly not something that can be fished up by jumping casually.

The most important thing is the octopus sea monster, Wren asked the owner of the ghost ship, the sea monster is so huge that the Dragon Eagle is like a toy boat in a child's bathtub in front of it.

How will such a huge sea monster dodge its attacks?

It was enough to spend the evening discussing these things, and the exhausted people went back to rest.

I don't know what time I slept until then, but Wren woke up and gathered ten people to participate in the operation, namely the battle captain Bambo and eight other underwater sailors, and Wren was also one of ten.

The reason why the first mate and the other mercenary group leaders were not involved was because they were responsible for making a last-ditch fight against the ghost ship after the mission failed.

After gathering everyone, everyone began to try out the diving beads in the large wooden barrel filled with seawater.

As long as you have a breath bead in your mouth, your entire head is enveloped in a thin magical diaphragm that allows only the air in the water to enter, not the seawater.

It's not as comfortable as usual, but at least you don't have to worry about lack of oxygen in the water.

After everyone involved in the action has simply adapted to the beads, it is time to move on to the next preparation.

Twenty cannonballs are made of hemp rope, and each one is filled with twenty cannonballs, and there is a rope on top of the net, which will open as soon as you pull the net, and the cannonballs inside will fall out.

Then he brought ten small wooden barrels for water, sealed their mouths, and tied the prepared nets to the small wooden barrels.

I dropped one of them into the sea and tested it, just enough to drag the empty barrel and hover in the water.

In this way, the tools to assist in diving and ascent are ready, and the next participants in the operation are equipped with a sailor's scimitar to facilitate work in the water.

After preparing these things, Wren asked the chef to make a delicious barbecue meal for the people participating in the operation, and after eating a full meal, they all continued to lie down and rest, waiting for the signal from the ghost ship to start salvage.

Soon, the ghost ship circled around the tail of the Dragon Eagle and gently used the ramming angle to advance against the Dragon Eagle as a signal, reminding Wren that it was now time to start salvage.

When the ghost ship stopped supporting the Dragon Eagle and the Dragon Eagle was back to rest, Wren had the sailors lower five small wooden boats, each of which was loaded with two sets of diving tools for two people.

The Dragon Eagle was a distance of one nautical mile from the pillar of light, and Wren planned to row the boat to a distance of 100 meters and send someone into the water to check the underwater situation.

The sailor would have consumed a set of tools, but the plan was to leave one person on guard at the dinghy one last in order to pick up the salvage men.

After finding out the situation under the sea, Wren let the boat row to a range of fifty or sixty meters from the pillar of light, and then dived to the bottom of the sea with the help of tools, and entered the pillar of light from the bottom of the sea.

When the time comes, four people will be left to answer outside the pillar of light, and only five people will enter the pillar of light, and the five people will find the shipwreck and take out the salvaged wooden box outside the pillar of light.

Once the wooden box is handed to the person waiting outside the pillar of light, the person who gets the wooden box immediately pulls open the net pocket and floats up.

The sailors guarding the dinghy gave priority to rescuing those who had obtained the wooden box, rowing back to the Dragon Eagle on their own, while the rest of the people returned to the sea on their own, and searched for the boat to return to the Dragon Eagle on their own.

This is the salvage plan that everyone discussed overnight.

It looks simple, but I don't know what it will be like when I actually get to the bottom of the sea.

If it really goes exactly as planned, that's the best, and if it doesn't, you'll have to improvise.

In short, everything is in order to return the wooden box safely to the Dragon Eagle, and all those involved in the operation must be prepared for self-sacrifice.

When the time comes, even if only one person comes back with a wooden box, it will be considered a victory.

Wren had finally made the connection between the ghost ship's master's ordeal and the salvage mission, and the ghost ship's owner had given enough hints and help.

He really wanted to get the wooden box, and he didn't know how many years of experience, he already had a way to salvage the wooden box.

It's just that for some unknown reason, he can't do it on his own.

Wren didn't spend much time thinking about the reason, he had been concentrating on preparing for the salvage, which was related to the lives of an entire ship, and the salvage operation must be successful anyway.

"Go down and reconnoitre!Stay safe!Come back as soon as you are in danger!" Wren instructed the sailors who were about to enter the water, and they had rowed to a distance of about 100 meters from the pillar of light, which was incomparably huge.

Compared with the Dragon Eagle, the area covered by the pillar of light is really like a child's bathtub and toy boat.

The casks and nets were pushed into the water by the sailors, and the casks were dragged into the water by the heavy nets and suspended under the surface.

The sailor with the diving beads lightly dived into the sea from the edge of the boat, came to the net and reached out to pull the heavy net, and then relied on gravity to sink the small wooden barrel.

Instead of bubbles floating on the surface, these are the exhaust gases produced by the sailor's breathing, which can pass through the magic diaphragm created by the diving beads, go directly into the sea water outside, and gather to form bubbles to float to the surface.

Now Wren and the others are ignoring what can be done, and the only thing they can do is to look at the bubbles that keep coming up, and silently pray for the sailors below.

After a few moments, the one who prays will become the sailor below, and he may have to pray alone until the end of the mission.

After about ten minutes, the sailor who dived smoothly came up and made an OK gesture to everyone, which means that the underwater situation is safe and the diving and salvage operation can be carried out.

The sailor climbed onto the boat with Wren's help, and the sailor on the side helped hand over a water bladder with spirits that had been prepared earlier.

Wren told him to rest first, and all the dinghy rowed forward, intending to dive fifty meters from the pillar of light.

During this time, the sailor who dived briefly described what he saw to Wren so that everyone could be mentally prepared.

First of all, this sea area is not deep, and the preliminary estimate is less than 100 meters.

Secondly, there is indeed a huge octopus sea monster under the pillar of light, which is entrenched in the area of a small half of the pillar of light.

Then there are the waters within the pillar of light, which are overgrown with aquatic weeds and coral reefs, where many fish live and are ideal for shelter.

In the end, because of the octopus sea monster blocking the view, the specific location of the wreck was not seen.

When all the dinghys were in place, Wren opened the water bladder containing the spirits and raised the water bladder to toast all the sailors: "Poseidon bless!"

"Blessed by the god of the sea!" the other sailors also raised their water bladders, poured half of the liquor with their heads high, and pushed the equipment on the dinghy into the water while the wine was warm.
