"Is there anything else that you don’t understand?" Teacher Li asked with a smile, looking around, but then he added, "Even if there is, it’s too late to ask me now. The time is almost up, so it’s all up to you all now." With a leap, Teacher Li appeared instantly at the top of the mast. Such a high place, it’s hard to imagine how he jumped up there. After seeing that Teacher Li had left, the others had no choice but to stop asking questions. "Everyone, get ready. We’ll form groups as we planned before, with three people in a team. Everyone should scatter and go to the surrounding areas of the ship. As soon as the pirates are spotted, everyone should gather towards where they are attacking. The goal is to survive to the end." For more chapters visıt 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 Xi Qianxue took a deep breath and immediately issued her orders. The individuals from the alliance immediately formed groups as per the earlier instructions and dispersed around the ship. "These people really follow the orders obediently," Du You sighed. "Qianxue, I’ll stay by your side to protect you." Lin Feng approached, wearing a gentle smile. Xi Qianxue considered for a moment, then nodded and said, "All right, you two follow me. Let’s go and check out the bow of the ship. Also, I’m counting on you two to handle the stern." The last part was directed at Du You. Indeed, her words caused Lin Feng to sulk again. But seeing Xi Qianxue leave, he shrugged and followed Xi Qianxue’s team. "Such hormone-filled young people," Du You commented, looking around. He noticed that besides the three of them, only two students who were usually disliked remained. It seemed that everyone else had already joined the alliance. Xi Qianxue’s organizing ability was truly impressive. If he’d had the same ability, his life wouldn’t have been so miserable in his previous world. "Let’s go and check the stern first. At this stage, there’s only one pirate ship anyway." Lao Da didn’t care at all. Although he wanted to join the alliance, he wasn’t a member for the time being. Du You nodded, and the three of them walked to the stern of the ship. At this time, Du You began summoning. A familiar magic array appeared on the ground, with Lao Da and Lao Er watching from the side. "So this is the power of the summoning class? I wonder what you can summon. Can it fight? Wait, you only summoned this?" Lao Er’s face of expectation turned into one of disappointment. Du You was also a little discouraged, wondering why he summoned this thing at such a crucial moment. Was there a strong aura of death here? Indeed, Du You had summoned a skeleton, a skeleton wielding a sword and a shield made of bone. It was entirely white, and it moved quite flexibly, but its combat effectiveness was probably not very high. Summoned Creature: Sword and Shield Skeleton, just a common member of the undead, cannon fodder level. That’s right, it had no special abilities or skills, only serving as a piece of cannon fodder. If summoned in large quantities, forming a sea of skeletons, it would be terrifying. But being single, it wasn’t that impressive. Du You shrugged: "There’s no helping it. This is a random summon. I also didn’t know what would be summoned." At this moment, a young girl at the side of the ship also began to summon. Her general ability wasn’t random summoning, but the targeted summoning of hunting dogs. Although her summons also lacked special abilities and skills, she could reliably summon five tier-one hunting dogs. Among the group, this little girl’s ability was considered very good. Hence, Xi Qianxue thought highly of her and had assigned two warriors to protect her. This young girl seemed to have a weak character, and it was uncertain what the future would hold for her. Du You had no interest in making friends with her, nor did he care how other people viewed him. Lin Feng had run to the bow of the ship, or else he would certainly mock Du You again over this. "It’s alright, even if your skeleton isn’t much use, at least you have me." Lao Da lifted his big axe, indicating he was ready for combat. Indeed, Lao Da was a rare warrior specializing in heavy weapons, particularly long-handled ones. The heavy chain that Du You obtained earlier wouldn’t suit Lao Da as he probably wouldn’t even like it. Instead, Lao Da had miraculously produced a hand crossbow, which was his designated weapon. Although the attack power might not be very high, it had a fast firing speed. "Look, there it is, it’s appearing." In the distance, a fast boat appeared within their line of sight. The first part of the mission had started. It was time for the first confrontation with the pirates. Although they were not noted on the task panel, everyone had already made preparations. "Quick, to the right side of the ship, their target is on the right." A student shouted loudly, urging his team to move accordingly. Mimicking the actions of the students, the navy officers on the ship also equipped themselves with weapons and rushed out. "What are you doing? Don’t panic and get ready to fight!" A man, who looked like an officer, shouted immediately. Observing his demeanor, it seemed like he was the captain of the ship. Du You noticed that the captain’s combat level was three. The long sword on his waist appeared to be merely decorative, but it was certainly not ordinary. The captain looked at the pirate ship through his telescope. "Should we send a signal?" A crew member asked loudly. The captain shook his head: "No need. It’s just a single ship. They’re no match for us. We’ll consider sending the signal after more ships have arrived." With the captain refusing to send out a signal, the first round of the task officially started. The pirate ship was fast, the disguised navy warship, full of cargo, could not possibly outrun them. The passengers who seemed to be tourists retreated silently and orderly, returning to their cabins. As expected, were they also in disguise? Were there any ordinary passengers on the ship at all? It seemed everyone had been fooled from the start. Du You cautioned himself silently. When he arrived in the Derived World again, he needed to look beyond surface appearances to understand the actual situation. Just as Du You was deep in thought, the pirate ship was nearing the right side of the ship. "Ha ha, today’s loot is massive. Brothers, prepare for the attack." The pirates, dressed in various colorful garments, roared. When they approached at a certain distance, hooks and ropes were thrown, fastening onto the right side of the ship. "Boarding combat? Aren’t there any cannons or ballistae? The fighting seems quite primitive, relying entirely on face-to-face combat," Du You mused. The others, however, were already starting to get nervous. It wasn’t just that they were about to engage in their first melee, the catch was that they were fighting against living people. The thought of killing someone for the first time was psychologically difficult to bear, and this included Du You.
