Chapter 7: The Imperceptible

"January 11, 435

We have finally arrived, blessed by the Almighty, as long as I get the holy relics back, I will be able to receive the initiation ceremony and become a true servant of the Holy Lord!"

This is the last feast note, and it is clear from this title that the captain was a follower of the Photans, and it is not difficult to guess that the Photans sent their own followers before looking for Charles.

Charles asked the crew to look on the other ships, and found that the situation was much the same, and the captain's diary recorded their last-minute excitement.

Just when Charles couldn't figure out why, the skinny chef Frey handed over a diary.

"Captain, look at this, this one is a little different. ”

Charles took it and opened it, the pupils in his eyes instantly shrank to the minimum, and he saw that the beige diary was full of messy words.

"Be careful! Don't go to the island, your own people!!They're not people!!They're going to eat us!I don't want to be killed!I'm going back to the island, safe!

The chaotic arrangement of various logical phrases indicates that the person is already a little mentally abnormal, which makes everyone who reads the diary feel a little creepy in their hearts, and they are all guessing what the captain has experienced?

"Goo-dong" Dip swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, retracted his head and looked vigilantly at his companions who got along with him day and night, and the diary said that danger came to his own people, does that mean that there are monsters lurking around now?

Charles knew what he was thinking, and slapped his diary on the head, "Don't think about it, we haven't been on the island yet." ”

"Captain, shall we go then?" Dipper said hesitantly.

"Of course I want to go. Charles's expression suddenly became resolute, no matter what danger there was on that island, it could not block his way home, even if he died, he would die on the way.

The Rat slowly leaned towards the beach, and the black smoke from the chimney slowly dissipated as the rusty anchor smashed into the water.

A wooden boat was lowered, and everyone approached the island.

Looking at the gloomy island that was getting closer, Charles opened a wooden box and fired some flintlock pistols and revolvers, the bottom layer being a bundle of tightly packed explosives.

For this mission, he specially purchased a lot of things.

With the weapons, everyone calmed down a lot.

Seven sturdy men with weapons in their hands jumped out of the canoe and walked across the beach towards the forest in the distance.

It is said that it is a forest, and there is not a single green one, and all kinds of hideous branches seem to be covered with a thick layer of rust, and all the trunks seem to have tumors, and some places are swollen and some are suddenly dented.

Walking in it, there is an illusion of walking inside a human body.

The crew knew that their mission was to make a golden statue of the god Fotan, and in the light of the torches, they searched for anything that shimmered around, but found nothing.

Not long after walking, a team of scattered footprints appeared on the ground, seeing someone footprints, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, there are footprints at least to prove that this road has been walked by other people, it should be safer.

I don't know if I guessed correctly, 7 people have been gone for nearly two hours, and nothing abnormal has happened.

When they gathered a bunch of branches and lit a bonfire, the tension eased slightly.

The white bread was burnt by the fire, and the crew ate as they guessed what had happened to those who had disappeared.

"Did you say the monsters ate them? like something in the sea. ”

"Not really, some of those boats are Photans, you know, things in the sea rarely attack them, I think there's some danger on the island. ”

Charles didn't join the discussion, he looked at the surroundings vigilantly, this strange forest was very strange, except for the sounds they brought out, there was no sound, not even the sound of insects and birds,

It was undoubtedly strange that there was no danger on the islands, and he had seen many records of exploration captains, and none of the islands in the sea were safe.

The islands inhabited by humans today were occupied only after the danger was removed.

Just like the coral archipelago before, after humans first came into contact with this coral island, they found that this island was alive at all, and more than 20 exploration ships formed a fleet and started a big battle with this giant coral.

"Don't talk, look for it after eating, the longer you stay in this place, the more dangerous it becomes. ”

Hearing Charles's words, the crew stopped chatting and began to swallow faster, recovering their strength for a short time, and Charles and his party continued to set off.

"Captain, I heard we'll be on a big boat when we get back, right?" asked Dip in a whisper.

"Hmm. ”

"Great, by that time I'll be able to manage a dozen sailors like the boatswain of other big ships. And not like now, there are not even half sailors under his command. ”

Glancing at the young man who was full of interest, the corners of Charles's mouth rose, young is good, everything is always in a good direction.

But after going back, it is indeed time to replenish the sailors, although the rat is not big, but there is not a sailor is a bit unusual.

Charles and the others continued to follow that path, but the path seemed to have no end and kept spreading.

If it weren't for the sporadic footprints on the ground that kept changing, Charles would have thought he was standing still.

When they had walked for nearly three hours, and their feet were about to run sore, the forest suddenly disappeared in front of them, and a stone building tangled in brown vines suddenly appeared in front of them.

The building is dilapidated from the outside, and it is impossible to tell whether it is a temple or a church, and the place where the wooden gate should have been placed has disappeared, leaving only a black hole.

Charles pulled the bandage with his hand, pointed at him solemnly and asked, "Is that thing in there?"

Bandage nodded hesitantly, "It should be...... Be...... I'm not ...... Clear...... I'm sorry...... I don't remember very well......"

Whether it was or not, Charles decided to go in and have a look, at least the footprints on the ground were walking towards the door, the footprints on the ground were not messy, and the danger had not yet appeared.

He turned his head to look at his big wheel pipe and said to the cook, "Let's go, let's go in and have a look." ”

James nodded at the same time as Frey, and strode in with Charles.

The light of the torches illuminated the inside of the building, which was clean and empty compared to the dilapidated exterior, with not even a trace of dust on the flat red floor, but the contents of the walls made the scalp tingling of those who entered.

The walls around it are layered with strange reliefs, and deformed creatures beyond human imagination are entangled with each other.

It's like a cross between a starfish and an octopus, and there's an eye in the center of the weird body.

Through their body language, they are vaguely worshipping something.

But these strange reliefs didn't attract much attention from the trio, and all of them paid attention to the golden statue in the center, the strange humanoid statue full of tentacles, which was none other than the god Fotan.
