Mysteries of the Earthsea

Chapter 346 Escape

Seeing these weird things, everyone's face is not much better.

Before Charles could figure out how to deal with it, other movements suddenly sounded behind him.

When they turned around, they found that the rope men who were just peeking before had stopped behind them in disorder, and they were completely surrounded by them!

A sailor finally couldn't help but hysterically raised the gun in his hand and kept shooting at the roped person in front of him.

The bullets hit the rope people and brought them down to the ground, but facing so many rope people, a few bullets were completely useless, and no one knew how many rope people were still in the forest.

"Stop! Did I tell you to shoot?" Charles reached out and snatched the gun from his hand.

"Charles, why don't we use fire? Burn them directly, the rope should be afraid of fire!" Orderic began to make suggestions.

"Mr. Charles, how about I talk to them? Maybe they're good monsters?"

Charles didn't have time to listen to the crew's suggestions at this time. His extremely keen ears heard the sound of the huge hemp rope wall behind him moving towards this side.

The rope people in front of him also had no intention of stopping, and hundreds of rope people moved towards the crew in an extremely strange way.

The rope man, who was still ten meters away just now, was out of sight of the crew for a second, and when they looked over again, he was only three meters away from them.

"Sight...moving...sight..." Charles clicked in his mind, and he suddenly thought about the key to the rope man's movement.

"Listen up, everyone! Keep an eye on them. As long as these things have eyes on them, they can't move!"

Under Charles' order, everyone quickly divided into several pairs and looked at these strange roped people separately to ensure that none of the roped people moved.

A dozen pairs of human eyes alone might not be enough, but Lily's mouse came in handy. Hundreds of pairs of mung bean-sized small eyes stared around, and all the rope people immediately showed no signs of activity.

"Don't panic. Everyone moves slowly to the left. These things can't move as long as you stare at them. If your right eye is tired, switch to your left eye. Take your time."

The crew of the Narwhal followed the mice to form a ball, and slowly shuttled among the sculptures of rope figures.

Everyone's eyes were red, but fortunately, the hard work paid off, and they were far away from the center of this weird rope crowd.

"Da da da da!" The sound of messy footsteps kept ringing in the colorful forest, and Charles led the crew to flee for their lives.

Everyone ran desperately, for fear that the things behind would catch up again.

When Charles saw some guys with weak systems running to the point of foaming, he ordered them to stop and rest.

Charles had no time to be idle; his anchor hit a tree pole overhead, pulling him up.

He hopped swiftly from tree to tree around the crowd.

After wandering around for a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief. Those weird things didn't follow, and they were safe for the time being.

"What are those things? The living relics of the Foundation, or the local island natives?" Charles kept guessing in his mind,

This place is still not safe, and Char didn't dare to let the crew stay longer. After a short rest of ten minutes, he was ready to move on to other locations.

Charles held the compass in one hand and the island map he had just drawn in the other. After quickly identifying the direction, he rolled up the pen with his tentacles and made a cross at the place where he had just encountered the rope man.

"No matter what it is, it seems that they are not very easy to provoke. It is the best choice to hide directly and not provoke them."

In the weird forest, everyone walked forward without saying a word. After the fright just now, everyone's face was nervous, shaking their flashlights and shooting into the darkness.

To avoid another confrontation with the thing, Charles casts all of Lily's mice out as scouts.

Let them withdraw and warn when they encounter the rope person.

As time passed, the mystery of the island was revealed to Charles.

Apart from those rope people, there are other living creatures on this island, but these things are either hidden in the soil, underground, or hidden in tree trunks.

Most of these things are insects, and they made the previous insect calls. These insects are all dark in tone.

In addition to all kinds of bugs, there are all kinds of weird plants, dark basket mushrooms that are bigger than people, spiral pink flowers, and small grass-like purple bamboos.

With the appearance of these things, the color of this forest began to become more and more vivid.

The road in the forest is not easy to walk, and it is such a dangerous place. After only four days of exploring in this forest, everyone is exhausted physically and mentally.

Let’s talk about it during the day, but I don’t sleep well every day, for fear that those weird rope people will suddenly rush out and break everyone’s necks.

Just when Charles was hesitating whether to go back to the boat to rest, they made a new discovery, and found that this time it was not a person, but a tree hole.

A giant tree the size of a house is completely hollow, and the regular door hangs abruptly on the bark.

The flashlights had died, and now they were holding torches, which flickered, and half a human face suddenly appeared, startling everyone.

When the crew saw the captain go straight in, they immediately understood that there was no danger inside, and it was no secret that the captain had dark vision. Since he went straight in, it meant that there was no danger inside.

Char, who walked into the tree hole, looked up at the murals on the wall. The heads of people, big and small, hung on the wall like portraits, and the one that was just illuminated by the fire was one of them.

These murals are very simple and look not much different from those of the cavemen. As a painter, Charles can clearly see that the painters have not learned the basics, and they are completely random.

There are a total of 43 portraits, both men and women.

"Captain... There are still..." Bandage raised the flashlight and said.

Charles turned his head and found that the painting over there seemed to have some kind of continuity. The strokes were very simple and easy to understand.

The first starting point was obviously a ship, and Charles immediately thought of the hulk he had seen before.

Some people got off the boat, they entered the forest and met some people, the people on the boat started to escape, and then some of them... were dismembered?

Charles moved closer and observed carefully. The broken people on the wall really meant that the human body was broken.

Charles shifted his gaze from the mural to the surrounding tree hole. The four-meter-large bed made of leaves in the corner indicated that many people had lived here.

"It seems that this is left by the people on the boat, and they also met the rope man?"

Just when Charles was watching in rapt attention, suddenly there was a rat's squeak outside the door. After being together for so long, Charles already understood the rat's voice, it was the sound of warning.
