Charles and his party boarded the Narwhal, which was undoubtedly much more spacious and clean than the dilapidated Mouse, and it was a pleasure to watch.

He went to each cabin and carefully inspected it to make sure nothing was wrong. As a captain, you must be as familiar with every part of the ship as you are with your own body.

After checking that everything was in order, Charles, who returned to the cockpit, waved his hand lightly, and the narwhal's chimney began to billowing black smoke, and the ship slowly sailed towards the deep sea.

Glancing at the coral island, which was getting smaller outside the glass, Charles walked up to the communication pipe and shouted inside, "Chief Engineer, how does the new ship feel?"

After a few seconds, James's honest voice came from the pipe, "Captain, the ship is fine! The steam comes out quickly! And it's not hot at all, it's only 39 degrees." ”

"Turn the turbine to the maximum and we'll test its speed. ”

"Yes, Captain. ”

As the black smoke from the chimney began to puff out, the speed of the narwhal began to climb, and when the speed reached its peak, Charles at the helm even felt like driving a speedboat.

Charles estimated that the narwhal would be at least three times as fast as the Mouse.

At this moment, there was something white on the surface of the sea in his peripheral vision. "Chief Engineer, slow down!"

The speeding narwhal slowed down, and Charles saw the thing, a corpse that had become a giant.

He should have been lying in the water and being eaten by fish, but at this time, he stood on the surface of the sea with strange feet, staring at the narwhal motionlessly.

Of course, Charles wasn't curious about the origin of this guy, he had seen more strange things at sea than this, he just wanted to find a target for his new cannon.

"Boom!" the recoil of the deck gun made the ship shudder.

Although no one in Charles had ever fired a cannon on target, after firing more than a dozen more rounds, the bubbling corpse was instantly exploded.

Whatever force makes it stand up again, it must lie down in front of the shell.

Charles was sure that if he had been on this ship when he had encountered the beacon monster before, the outcome would have been completely different.

After testing the new ship's performance, Charles set his sights on the charts on the wall.

It was a chart given by the Explorers Guild, and with this thing and a compass it was necessary to find the target.

"Drive along Route 6 first, and when you reach the 68th buoy, turn south to your destination. Charles's finger slid over the chart.

"Yes, Captain!" replied the second mate at the helm. The red-haired guy looked a little excited, his eyes looking around.

"I remember your name was ...... Knona?"

"Yes, Captain, that's my name, my mother gave it to me. Captain, did you really explore an island, as Frey said, and that monster can really create a non-existent person from a person's memory? How did you find them in the first place?"

Charles's brows furrowed slightly, as if he remembered something unpleasant, "Just drive the boat, when the time comes, the first mate will come to replace you." ”

Seeing his captain push the door and walk out, Knona was a little puzzled, "Did I ask anything that shouldn't be asked?" ”

The days at sea are passing day by day, and the old crew and the new crew are also running in with each other, except for Deep, who is too young and a little disobedient, everyone else gets along well.

The narwhal was fast, and after just 7 days, they came to the sea near the target.

Bright pillars of light swept across the pitch-black sea, searching for the target island.

Charts and compasses can only find the approximate location, and the specific coordinates can only be found slowly by stupid methods.

In the cockpit, Knona looked at Charles next to him. "Captain, I've heard that some people at sea have a special way of finding islands, and it's much better than doing so, it's like magic. Will you?"

"Stop talking nonsense, get your boat out. Charles felt that the two were a bit too much to talk about.

"I ...... I have a way to ......" the bandage sitting on the stool interjected rarely.

Seeing the eyes of the two of them projected on himself, the bandage continued slowly: "Sect inside...... There is a ...... rituals that can be prayed to...... The help of the god of Photan needs ...... Sacrificer. ”

Charles looked at the bandage with some complications, it seems that his first mate has not yet gotten rid of the Photanism, and I hope that time will alleviate the brainwashing of the cult against him.

"Forget all those disgusting things, we don't need to. ”

"Captain, look! what is that!" Charles' gaze followed the second mate's finger forward, and a vague island appeared in the distance, and they found it.

The excited crew stood on deck and looked out at the island in the distance.

Having learned from the past, Charles did not rush to the island and let the narwhal observe around the island.

The brightness of the lights is limited, you can only see the periphery of the island, the island is very large, it took 3 hours to go around at the speed of a narwhal, and the island under the lights looks very barren.

The most of the stones on the island were strangely shaped, the big ones were as tall as three or four stories high, and the small ones were half the size of a man, and they were very separated from each other, as if there was some kind of pattern, and for a while, Charles had the illusion of coming to the quarry.

"Can this place be inhabited?" asked Dipper hesitantly, a question that no one could answer.

Charles knew that there must be some kind of danger on the island, whether it was inhabited or not, and that it was an island with a danger level of 5, and that there had been five exploration ships that had explored the island and never returned.

"Throw some live fish up there and see if there's any meat on the island. ”

Charles's order, some sea fish were thrown onto the beach, and some wounds were deliberately scratched on the fish, and the smell of blood began to spread, and everyone watched with anxiety.

It didn't take long for the water-starved fish to suffocate to death, and half an hour later, Charles suddenly saw a pair of eyes light up in the pile of stones. "Squeak squeak~"

With black hair, a slender tail, and black eyes the size of a mung bean, it was an ordinary mouse.

In full view of everyone, the mouse ran up to a dead fish and gnawed on it.

Everyone's faces showed joy, it was good news that it was a normal creature that came out, and if rats could live on this island, then people should be able to do it too.

But before they could rejoice, more greedy eyes popped up in the rocks, swarms of rats rushed towards the dead fish like waves, and the white sand was instantly covered with black-brown hair.

The sound of chewing on the shore came and went, and the people on the boat who listened were creepy.

"This ...... That's a lot of rats......" Second Officer Knona looked at his captain with a forced smile.
