Charles stomped on the top of his feet with all his strength and pushed James outside, but he just couldn't get stuck.

"Let me go!!" Charles jumped up with all his strength, and stepped on the soles of James' feet fiercely, the sound of flesh tearing sounded, and the flesh on James's waist was scraped off a large piece and rushed out directly.

Charles rushed out with James, but the moment he appeared, the exit suddenly closed, and Charles's left arm was jammed.

Gritting his teeth, Charles stepped on the wall with his feet, pulling desperately, but he couldn't pull it off.

James next to him floated to the side, grabbed Charles's waist and pulled hard.

Charles patted him and pointed to the water, but the big man shook his head vigorously and used it in his hands.

Charles felt the water around him start to rush and the island descended faster.

Feeling the increasing pressure around him, Charles knew that if he didn't make a choice, the water pressure alone would kill him.

With a twist in his heart, he took out a black blade and slashed it along the wall.

Scarlet blood spurted out from the fracture, and the speed of the descent of the two finally stopped.

When Charles subconsciously glanced into the underwater darkness, he was shocked to find that there was not only one island sinking.

A dozen identical islands are also falling rapidly,

And at the bottom of them, Charles faintly saw a wriggling darkness, the darkness was so great that the island that had trapped them before was only the size of his index finger in front of him, no, maybe that island was his index finger?

It dawned on him that the islands were one, that they were all part of the darkness.

"Whew!" a giant scarlet eye appeared in the wriggling darkness. This was followed by two or three.

The murmur in his ears resounded, and Charles immediately closed his eyes and followed James as quickly as he could.

On the deck, the shivering crew was drenched and shivering, looking anxiously at the water, their captain and chief engineer had not yet come up.

Lily stood on the edge of the boat and ran from left to right and from right to left, tears rolling in her eyes.

"What should I do if something happens to Mr. Charles? Where should I go? No, Mr. Charles will be fine, he's so good! He'll be fine!"

Just when it was about to cry, it suddenly saw Charles and James supporting each other to float to the surface, and Lily jumped directly in excitement.

Along the soft ladder, the two of them, whose faces were extremely ugly, finally returned to the deck.

"Captain, your hand—" All the crew immediately noticed Charles's empty left arm.

Looking at his crew, Charles, whose face was unusually ugly, opened his mouth and was about to say something, when a large pool of scarlet blood spurted out of his mouth.

At the same time, James, who was next to him, also fell to one knee and developed the same symptoms.

Everyone who saw this scene was shocked and hurriedly called the doctor.

The doctor quickly examined the two of them and breathed a sigh of relief. "It's okay, it's just that they're going to rise too fast from the water and get decompression sickness, you guys, send them to the medical room I've arranged, I'm going to treat them. ”

In a white medical room, all kinds of bitter potions poured down, and Charles felt that the feeling of not being able to breathe in his lungs was much better.

James, who was enjoying the same treatment, was also lying next to him.

Looking at Charles's empty left arm, James had a pained expression on his face.

"Captain, I'm sorry, if it weren't for me—"

"You don't need to apologize, the relic was given to you by me, and I also asked you to use it, you didn't do anything wrong in this matter. Charles interrupted.

Looking at his broken arm, Charles thought a lot in his mind, is someone else's life important? Or is one of his own arms important?

Charles soon had his own answer, if he wanted to accomplish his goal, he couldn't do it alone, and he had to have a crew member who shared his suffering.

As for an arm, as long as you can get out of this place, the price is worth it.

And at the thought that if James died, he would personally deliver the news to his wife, Charles suddenly felt that he had made the right choice.

"It's fine, it's just that I don't have a hand. It's not that there is no love. Richard complained in his head.

Charles shook his head, slowly closing his eyes and getting ready to rest, his mind a little tired.

With a bang, the doctor pushed open the door and walked straight to Charles, his expression very impatient. "Did you see something? Why are you so polluted?"

"I glanced at it by accident, and the island seemed to be a limb of something. ”

"Don't you understand the rules of the sea and the sea, don't you even know the captain? The doctor finished with disgust on his face, and handed over a cup of black tumbling potion.

Charles took it and poured it down, and the smell of metal instantly filled his mouth. But the grogginess in my head felt a lot better.

Charles, who was much better, was not busy resting, he put the iron cup on the wooden cabinet next to him, and said to the doctor: "Please call the first mate, I have something to ask him." ”

By all indications, Bandage was familiar with the place, not only did he know where the exit was, but he also knew how to restrain the torment, and he was immune to the effects of the labyrinth to prevent him from being pulled into the walls.

But then the contradiction arose: if he knew that this place was dangerous, why didn't he inform everyone in advance, and if he wanted to send the crew in, then why did he go to all the trouble to rescue them?

The silent first mate soon appeared at the door, and he shook his head slowly in response to Charles's inquiry.

"I ...... I do not know...... I think I've been here before...... And also lived in it for a long time... I see you all on the wall...... That's when I remembered......"

"Then can you remember why you were able to resist being pulled into the wall? And I'm still curious, on the first island, those memorial-devouring monsters caught you, why would they let you go. ”

This time, the bandage finally answered.

He untied the bandage on his back, and on his tattooed back, he drew a circle of intricate dark purple words.

The distorted words seemed to move, and Charles felt dizzy after only looking at them for a moment.

"There should be this...... ...... protection Don't ask me...... Where did it come from...... I forgot ......"

Charles didn't plan to ask any more, he guessed what to ask, and the final answer was that he didn't remember.

"Do you think there are any clues to the tattoos on his body?" Richard came up with an idea.

Charles's eyes fell on the tattoo on the bandage body.
