Chapter 1956 Rescue Refugees

About 40 nautical miles due north of the "Coral" expedition ship, a golden beam of light suddenly rose on the sailing ship that was flooded in the bilge and seriously tilted, attracting the attention of the refugees on board, with surprise and confusion in their tearful eyes.

Under people's watchful eyes, four figures emerged from the teleportation array.

"I'll go down and see if I can try to plug the leaking hole."

Qiao An explained in a hurry, and cast the "Any Door" to directly teleport to the interior of the cabin, opened the shaft and looked down, the water had already filled the bilge, and the water level rose slowly along the vertical ladder at a speed visible to the naked eye. Entering the middle deck, the whole ship will quickly sink to the bottom of the sea like a weight.

Without further ado, Joan quickly cast the 4th ring spell "Turning Water into Air" that he had learned not long ago, creating a magical barrier around his body, and jumped down the shaft.

The radius of "turning water into air" is about 20 feet. As Joan continued to fall, the sea water touched the luminous shield radiating from his body, and it was continuously transformed into steaming mist from top to bottom.

Boom!

Joan landed on both feet, silently chanted the mantra to activate the "fog vision" enchanted by the prosthetic eye, looked around through the vast steam, and followed the direction in which the sea water poured in. Wherever he passed, the sea water within 20 feet of the surrounding area was all melted Make steam.

In the midst of this haze, Joan found the leaky cabin, walked up to observe the part penetrated by the shell, and couldn't help frowning secretly.

The hole in the hull is too big to be repaired by "repair" or "complete repair". Joan can only pull out a "force field wall" to temporarily block the hole and prevent seawater from pouring in.

Cutting off the source of water intake, the sinking speed of the sailboat has slowed down, but the overall trend of sinking has not changed, it just persists for a while longer.

Joan kept "turning water into air", walking back and forth in the water-logged bilge, converting the sea water into steam as much as possible, and then performed the "wind-making technique" to drive the steam into groups of huge bubbles, along the shaft Surge upwards, discharge out of the cabin, and reduce the weight of the hull.

Qiao An thought for a while, then turned to face a closed hatch, and used a "knocking technique" to open the door, and the sea water poured in.

Joan walked all the way along the corridor, opened all the rooms on the left side of the bilge, and guided the seawater to pour in, so that the force on the left and right sides of the hull was balanced, and the original tilt to the right gradually changed to be parallel to the sea level.

In this way, at least before the "force field wall" fails, the sailboat should not sink.

That's all Joan could do. He sighed tiredly, performed a "magic trick", dried his steam-soaked clothes and hair, and returned along the vertical ladder.

On the open deck, Audrey had already summoned the Heavenly Mara Faye, carrying two crying children who looked less than ten years old on the horse, and was about to send them to the "Coral" for refuge.

Holden has spread out the red copper dragon wings, and Hailaer has also spread out a pair of atmospheric wings with magic power behind him, suspended in mid-air.

The refugees on the boat gathered at their feet, crying and begging them to give priority to saving their own children. Even Qiao An, who had been indifferent to his family since childhood, couldn't help feeling sad when he saw this scene.

Hailar and Holden only had two hands, and took away four people at most. However, there were more than 20 children on the boat watching them eagerly, waiting for rescue, but they were not sure whether the boat could still keep afloat when they turned back. on the sea.

Choosing to save someone is equivalent to abandoning others. Facing this moral dilemma, Hyrule, Audrey, and Holden all fell into hesitation and couldn't make up their minds for a while.

"Joan, you are finally back!"

Seeing the young mage return to the deck, Holden seemed to have found a savior and flew over quickly.

"How's the situation down there?"

"The leaking place is temporarily blocked, but this is not a long-term solution. We have to hurry up and save people."

"What you said is so light! There are hundreds of people here, who should we save first?" Mr. Poet spread his hands, his face full of helplessness.

Joan looked at the crowd silently, and suddenly had an idea, and said to Holden: "Call your sister and Hailar, I have a way to take all the refugees on board away at once."

"Haha! I knew it, you kid must have a way!" Holden excitedly punched him on the shoulder, turned around and whistled.

Audrey and Hylar rushed over upon hearing the sound, looking at Joan with anxiety and expectation.

Joan didn't talk nonsense, and directly extracted 3 "powers of myth", established "myth links" with Hailar and Zion siblings one by one, and then used the three of them as the starting point of the spell to cast "myth pest swarm", Summons the giant bee.

With Joan's current mana, he can summon up to 15 giant bees each time he casts "Mythical Plague Swarm", and each giant bee can carry two adults to fly.

To take away all the refugees on the deck, Joan has to cast "Mythical Plague Swarm" 4 times in total. However, he can only focus on controlling a group of giant bees, so he needs to use Hyrule and Zion to cast this myth Spell, let the three of them replace themselves to maintain the concentration of spellcasting, and each control 15 giant bees.

After listening to Joan's explanation, Audrey, Holden, and Hailaer understood their next mission, and each led a group of giant bees to the refugees, reassuring them not to be afraid, riding on the back of the giant bees in pairs to ensure safety Escort them out of danger.

The 10-foot-long giant bees hovered above the deck, flapping their wings and buzzing, like a group of hideous man-eating monsters. These ordinary people on the deck who have never seen much of the world, especially young children, It is impossible to say that you are not afraid at all.

However, it is better to be afraid than to stay on this sinking ship and wait for death.

The adult hugged the child, tentatively approached the giant bee, confirmed that the furry giant had no intention of attacking him, and bravely climbed up.

Although Audrey, Holden, and Hyrule's spellcasting abilities are not as good as Joan's, they have also undergone rigorous professional training in their respective fields and can be regarded as outstanding spellcasters. It is important for them to maintain concentration in spellcasting for a long time It belongs to the basic skills in the foundation, and it will not lose the chain at critical moments.

Joan turned into a bee-man form by himself, summoned a swarm of giant bees, and ordered them to carry the remaining refugees on the deck and lead the swarm to fly south.

60 giant bees swarmed into the sky, followed Joan, Hailar, and Zion's siblings and flew not far away. The "force field wall" that Joan set up to temporarily block the seawater exhausted its magic power and quietly disintegrated.

The turbulent sea water poured in, submerging the empty deck in a short time, and the whole sailboat sank rapidly, and finally even the towering mast disappeared under the vast expanse of blue waves without a trace.
