Chapter 224 “Divine Messenger”

"Sorry, my lord envoy, we only have this at the moment."

Seeing the lizard-like long monster crawling towards the corpse, Aquino curled up on the ground, not daring to look any further.

The trumpet-shaped suction cups were fully opened, exposing the sharp teeth of the ticking milky white slime.

The sharp teeth covered the corpse, and the sucker began to squirm continuously, and the three-meter-tall corpse was slowly sucked into the hideous mouth by the monster.

But at this moment, the monster seemed to be frightened by something, the reflective skin turned black instantly, and the sucker opened suddenly, vomiting up the corpse again.

The tail with bony spurs was suspended by it, shaking like a rattlesnake, as if it was demonstrating to some existence.

"Hehehehe~" The trembling voice became deeper and deeper, and the monster seemed to have discovered something.

Ajino, who was lying on his stomach, turned his head and looked behind him, but found that there was nothing behind him, and there was no one there.

"Crack!!" A beam of light flashed past, and the far corner instantly turned into scorched blackness.

"My lord envoy?" Ajino looked puzzled, not knowing what the other party was doing.

"Hehehe..." Seeing that there was nothing abnormal, the monster slowly lay back and continued to swallow the salt-smeared corpse.

A minute later, the rope connecting the two ships was slightly concave again, and Charles appeared with an extremely ugly face.

He reached into his clothes, scratching his skin with his nails.

The itching on his body was incomparable to the shock in his heart. What did he see just now? What the hell was that just now?

And Charles also noticed that Agino called that disgusting thing an angel?

All the envoys look like this, God knows what their gods look like? There are too many strange beliefs in Earthsea.

"No, that thing looks very dangerous

Don't let that disgusting thing continue to follow us. "Charles immediately made the decision.

But there is a problem in front of him, how should he talk about it, cut the rope directly, and walk away without saying a word?

Charles, who was half squatting, just stood up and looked towards the turtle shell boat, and found that at some time, another Haike had poked his head out of the turtle shell, looking around vigilantly.

He saw that Charles was looking this way, a slight smile appeared on his rough face, and he nodded to Charles.

You can't act rashly now, if you provoke the opponent, there is no guarantee that the opponent will not jump over the wall in a hurry and snatch the fresh water and fuel of the Narwhal.

After Charles simply returned the salute, he turned and walked towards the captain's cabin.

Gathering the others together, Charles recounted what he had discovered.

"I've dissected them. The Hikers are just a little bigger. Without weapons, they're not that powerful. And there are five people on the opposite side. I don't think there's any need to care about it. Just cut the rope and run away at full speed. "The doctor was the first to speak.

Recalling the Hek tribe that he worked with Anna before, Charles shook his head. "Not necessarily. They should also have special abilities. We don't know the strength of the five opponents, and I, the so-called envoy who can feel invisible, should also have good strength."

The crew discussed with each other for a while, but in this situation, they didn't come up with any useful solutions.

Charles stood up heartbroken. In this isolated and helpless sea, he didn't want to wait any longer. He was the captain of the Narwhal, and he was responsible for the lives of the crew.

Just as Charles was about to speak, a right hand wrapped in a yellow bandage was raised.

"Captain...maybe...we...just go back like this...maybe that thing...isn't...dangerous to us..."

"Why are you so sure? That thing doesn't look like it's not dangerous at all. When the dead people on their boat finish eating it, maybe it's time to eat us."

The bandaged head was lowered with a hint of confusion in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing him like this, Charles was startled, and he walked over and patted him on the shoulder with his hand. "Did you recall something?"

There was a trace of confusion in the bandage's eyes. After a long time, he raised his hand and drew Charles' black blade, and carved it on the table.

Soon, a ferocious monster was carved out, with an anti-knuckle index finger, trumpet-shaped mouthparts, and a long tail with bony spurs. It was the "angel" in the turtle shell ship.

"Is it... long... like this?"

Charles' pupils shrank slightly. "What? You've seen it before? Remember what it was?"

Facing Charles' question, Bounce shook his head. "I...don't...know...I've seen it before, a long...a long time...it's...not...dangerous,...should be."

Looking at the confused first officer, Charles was very embarrassed. Although this guy said that the thing was not dangerous, it was a bit unconvincing.

"Captain." This time it was the chief engineer who spoke.

"I also don't think they have bad intentions. If they really wanted to do something to us, they should have done it long ago, and they may not have to wait so long."

"Besides, it's not a rational choice to do it now under such circumstances. If we are in a hurry, we will directly burn the boat, and they will be trapped here again to death."

Under the watchful eyes of all the crew members, Charles lowered his head and gestured with his fingers on the chart in front of him.

The big circle in front of him is the entire sea of ​​mist, and there are three points in the big circle, one is the location of Broken Heart Island, one is the location of 041, and the last one is the location where he encountered the turtle shell ship.

Judging from where they encountered the turtle shell ship, they should not have come from the open sea on the right, but from the depths of the sea of ​​mist.

Thinking back to the hideous appearance of the "Envoy", a thought flashed through Charles' mind. Could it be that what Elizabeth said was true? Is that thing really the product of a hybrid between humans and natives?

"That thing was once a human??" Charles felt a strong sense of discomfort at the thought of the possibility of such a guess.

Perhaps the Haike people really have a custom that is difficult for the people on the outer islands to accept.

After considering various issues, Charles finally decided.

"Come on, let's continue to drag these guys away. I hope the first officer feels right. During this time, everyone has brought their weapons with them. I thought there was a special accident."

Charles decided to wait for the Hack tribe’s peaceful attitude before. For some reason, after thinking that the disgusting thing might be a human, Charles felt a little relieved, at least part of the monster’s body was of the same kind.

As soon as the captain's order was issued, the crew immediately knew what to do and quickly returned to their posts.

In a slightly weird atmosphere, the Narwhal pulled the turtle-shell boat and continued to move forward.

Fresh water is still provided every day, and the Hekers did not show any dissatisfaction.

Sometimes they showed a tendency to have an in-depth conversation with Charles, but Charles just pretended not to hear it.
