Chapter 378: Ambush

On the rugged mountain road between the green and dense woods, Charles and his crew quickly chased after the Pope.

Although the Pope couldn't catch up with Ronka, he couldn't catch up with ordinary people when he flew, and if it weren't for the mouse's nose, he would have lost it a long time ago.

After running for more than an hour, Charles finally found the Pope at the top of a small slope.

"Run what! Didn't you say follow my command, if that happens, we'll just split up and explore!" Charles shouted in displeasure to the Pope, who was surrounded by believers.

The Pope didn't respond, looking down the slope with a solemn expression.

Charles followed his gaze and looked down, and saw that there were various houses among the woods below, some of which had windows still open.

"What? that guy just ran inside?" Charles asked the Pope.

"No...... I didn't catch him, my attacks didn't work against him, the island was very wrong. ”

As soon as they heard this, the expressions of all the people present became solemn, they knew the true strength of the Pope, but it was the existence of a hard bar with Longka, and even his attack was ineffective, so what kind of existence was the other party?

West swallowed hard and leaned towards his companion.

Sensing that the atmosphere in the team was a little tense, Charles turned to the Pope and asked, "Is it a person or something?"

"I don't know, maybe yes or maybe not, but if all the inhabitants of this island have the same strength as me, then we just want to die. ”

Charles thought back to what had just happened, and from the current point of view, the dark shadow just now had no intention of clashing with them, maybe they could communicate.

The friendly rope men before him had taught him that not necessarily the enemies were the ones who could move on the unexplored islands.

"What are you going to do next?" asked Charles after a moment of thought, turning to the Pope.

There was a look of surprise on the Pope's face, and then he bowed slightly. "You are now our commander, this issue should be considered by you, and whatever orders you give, I will carry them out unconditionally. ”

The corners of Charles's mouth twitched slightly, and he pressed back the expletives that reached his throat.

He pulled out the revolver from Deepp's waist and fired three shots into the air, the crisp sound of gunfire echoing through the forest, but no one showed up, either in the forest or in the buildings below.

It is impossible for the other party not to hear such a huge gunshot, and since the other party does not come out, then it means that they do not want to contact them.

Charles threw the pistol to his boatswain, "Let's go, since they don't come out, we'll go down." ”

With a feeling of apprehension, more than twenty people slowly approached the building complex below.

In this kind of place, everyone is in good spirits, even the Pope, and there are some strange things on the unknown islands that cannot be made up for by strength alone.

When Charles and the others arrived at the complex, their fears intensified that something was wrong with the buildings.

In some places, the room was lit as if it were still inhabited, but the other villa next door was so decaying that it was almost unrecognizable.

This is the Foundation's territory, Charles is very sure, not to mention the simple style of these buildings, but looking at the brand-new four-wheeled car next to it, he knows that this place is definitely not built by the humans of the earth.

Naturally, Charles couldn't just get into these weird buildings, he needed spies.

Half-crouching, he said to the rats surrounding him, "You go to every room and warn you immediately if anything is unusual." ”

"Squeak~squeak~!" the rats shouted at Char in unison, and quickly dispersed into the surrounding buildings.

The rats from the nearby house quickly returned, shaking their little heads and indicating nothing unusual to Charles.

The rats are scurrying farther and farther. Charles and the others stayed where they were and waited quietly.

Looking at the colorful bubbles around him and on the top, Charles felt a faint uneasiness in his heart, and he turned to the crew and said. "Verification. ”

The narwhal's crew quickly removed the strip of cloth from their shoulders and compared them with their own crew members to make sure everything was in order.

The Pope looked at him in amazement, "What is this for?"

"Make sure there is no one more and no one less between us. ”

"Ah, it seems that Charles has also explored so many islands and explored experience, and sure enough, he is the old exploration captain. ”

Charles didn't hear the Pope's compliments, and after confirming with the crew that his companion was normal, he put the strip of cloth back on his shoulder.

"The surface exit is so important to your Light God Sect, the strength of those people behind you should be good, right?"

Charles looked at the bald head behind him again, he needed to know the strength and special abilities of these people so that he could make better use of them.

The Pope had a proud expression on his face, "Hehe, of course, their strength may not be the strongest among our Popes, but they are definitely good explorers who have explored ten islands, such as this one, Rice, he is ......"

Before the Pope could finish speaking, the warning sound of rats suddenly sounded in front of them.

"There's a situation!" Charles and everyone immediately rang out straight ahead.

The croaking of the rats continued, and the sound was full of anxiety, as if they were chasing someone, when suddenly the rat voice turned away from the complex and into the dense woods next to it.

With a lift of his left hand, Charles' prosthetic anchor hook shot directly into the trunk of a tall tree, and he swung swiftly through the trees like Tarzan.

He was the first to run ahead, and he was getting closer and closer to the rat in front of him, but at this moment, a black mist suddenly emerged from under a tree, enveloping Charles entirely.

Charles, who was in the dark, did not panic, but the prosthetic leg instantly exerted force, and took his body towards the canopy.

Their own crew and the Pope were not far behind, and it would only take a few seconds at most for them to arrive.

Charles thought so, but the other party seemed to be able to predict what he was doing, and with a "bang", the chain of the anchor hook was easily cut.

Charles, unable to focus in mid-air, fell to the ground, and before he could react, a semicircle with elastic things covered Charles on the ground from top to bottom.

With a "stab", Charles kept sending lightning bolts out of his body and catapulting in all directions, but the lightning attack had no effect on what was covering him, which was insulated.

Just as Charles controlled the tentacles and tried to push the hood away, a pungent scorching smell entered his nose, and the solid covering him quickly melted into a semi-liquid, covering his entire body like a bruise.
