Chapter 81: Disappearing
Although the atmosphere is a little depressing, the mood of the crew is still stable, and the current environment is a bit permeable at best, and it is not the worst situation compared to the previous island.
Charles, who was sitting on a stone, was talking to Richard in his head.
"I don't think there is much hope on this island, it doesn't look like there is sunshine. ”
"That's not it, this place stinks, I'm the one who repairs the exit later, and I won't fix it. ”
"Let's talk about it after exploring first, maybe the "king" deliberately hid the supply island like this. ”
"Oh, if they've been to this island, does that mean there are relics in this place too?"
"Stop making trouble, isn't the lesson from last time enough?"
"What am I messing with? Isn't this to improve our strength? Isn't it because we can survive until now because of the ability of relics?"
"The side effects of relics are very powerful, and simply having more relics doesn't make us stronger. ”
Just then, Deep's voice interrupted their conversation, and they turned their heads at the same time to see their boatswain pull out a cylindrical object from his backpack.
"Haha! I brought this with me, I thought I had forgotten. ”
Seeing the gazes of his companions around him, Dipper smirked: "This is something new from the British Isle, you see." ”
He pressed a red button on it, and a blinding white light shot straight into the mist. "It's a flashlight, it's a moving light, whatever, I've never seen it, Captain, what are you laughing at? And you see, this thing can adjust the size of the beam of light. ”
As Dip turned the aperture of the flashlight, the white light that shot out quickly gathered, and it was held by the boy in his hand like a lightsaber.
The teenager is also very playful, holding a flashlight and constantly gesturing, and the pillar of light is constantly sweeping through the confusion.
Charles looked at the light, the smile on his face faded, maybe this thing could really be, not only was it more durable than torches, but it was also resistant to storage, and it was also very penetrating in this dense fog state, and he mentally designated this thing in the procurement materials for his next adventure.
"Ahhh
"What's wrong?" Charles led her to himself.
"That'...... Over there, there's a face! Just when the pillar of light swept over, there was a face. ”
Charles glared at the stone with his feet and rushed in the direction that Lily was pointing. The sound of loading bullets rang out in the back, and the crew followed.
They quickly cut through the fog and found the big face in Lily's mouth, only to realize that it wasn't a person, it was a painting painted on the wall.
It is more like a child's clumsy graffiti, and although the painting technique is sloppy, the emotions that this painting wants to express are conveyed.
It was a naked human desperately pinching his neck, and his expression of pain was about to come out, which looked particularly strange under the scribbled graffiti.
"Mr. Charles, who drew this?" asked Lily, who had her head tucked into his clothes.
"I want to know more about who built this wall than this painting. ”
Charles touched the solid wall with his hand, and the thick fog blocked his vision, and he couldn't see how high and wide the wall was.
He tried it with a black blade and found that the wall was very strong, almost as hard as cement.
What kind of person would build a wall in a foul-smelling swamp for no reason? Judging by this pale yellow color, it doesn't look like the style of the Foundation, is it "the king"?"
"Let's go, walk along the wall and have a look. Charles and the crew moved again.
The firelight slowly disappeared from the painting, and the horrible portrait suddenly twisted and moved, and then more miserable graffiti emerged from the walls, their mouths wide open and silently wailing, entangled with each other, and the whole wall was quickly filled by them, merging with the darkness.
Charles walked along the wall for nearly two hours, and finally came to the end of the wall, where a wide opening suddenly appeared, and the inside was completely covered in mist, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
Fortunately, Charles added a lot of new props this time, and he took out a mirror box from his backpack and ordered the vampire to fly away and open the mirror box directly.
The dazzling sunlight instantly dispelled the dense fog, and everyone present was suddenly shocked by the scene in front of them.
I saw that in the wide opening of the wall, several walls crossed each other in the distance, forming an extremely large labyrinth in the wet mist.
Each wall is extremely high and wide, as if this labyrinth was built for giants who are 100 meters tall, and there is a trembling feeling just standing by and watching.
The warm glow slowly faded, and the walls disappeared into the fog again.
After a long time, there was a harsh grinding sound, and Charles raised his black blade to draw an arrow on the wall.
"Go!" he lifted his foot and walked into the fog.
The atmosphere became more and more depressing, everyone could see that this place was very dangerous, no one wanted to die, everyone cheered up.
Although Charles and the others were waiting for them, they had been in the maze for a while, and nothing unusual happened.
The absence of anomalies now only proves that danger has not yet appeared, and Charles very much does not like this feeling of waiting, and his spirit is highly tense.
There were no stones to rest in the labyrinth, and Charles's feet were gradually freezing unconscious, and he took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and found that they had been in the labyrinth for almost two hours.
Glancing at the sewage on the ground, Charles drew an arrow on the wall, turned to the crew and said, "Explore for another half hour, if we haven't found anything, we'll get here today, go back to the ship and rest before we set off." ”
Hearing this, everyone, including the doctor, breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, this kind of place is really unlikeable.
Time passed little by little, seeing that it was about to be half an hour, the black blade in Charles's hand suddenly flicked, and the blade stabbed directly into the water with an afterimage, and then Charles followed with a kick of both feet, he grabbed the handle in the water and lifted it hard, but found that there was nothing on the knife surface.
This time it wasn't Charles, but Richard.
"What did you find?" Charles asked in his mind.
"I just saw a ripple on the surface of the water, and I thought there was something in the water. Strange, am I dazzled?"
Charles probed into the water with a black blade, but there was nothing but a pile of silt.
He stood up and looked at the time, "Let's go back, it's half an hour, come back after resting." ”
Everyone was immediately relieved and turned to leave. However, when Charles checked the number again, a drop of cold sweat dripped from his face.
"Wait!!The first mate is gone!"
