Chapter 546 Meeting

In a huge tent in the Giant Pit Fortress, the surface map that was explored was presented in front of Charles.

There are also some photos stuck on it with pushpins. These photos are some unusual things that the explorers took with their cameras.

With these things, Charles had a preliminary understanding of the unfamiliar surface.

Surrounding the Giant Pit Fortress is the Gobi Desert. It seems that the Giant Pit is located in the center of the Gobi Desert. Apart from the desert that Charles explored at 11 o'clock, there are other landforms on the surface.

Comparing the huge crater to a clock, there is a semi-hazy black mist at 2 o'clock, and this kind of mist lasts from 2 o'clock to 4 o'clock.

The black mist is not poisonous, and humans can breathe in it, but the landform inside is a muddy gray swamp, and there are various living things in the swamp.

The one-meter-long worm I found earlier came from this swamp.

Most of the living creatures in the swamp are very dangerous and strange-looking, such as a bald bird that caused huge losses to the No. 32 exploration team.

It itself resembles a plucked two-meter-tall vulture bird figure, with a beak hanging from its tapered face.

As long as human beings stay beside it for more than half an hour, they will try their best to commit suicide.

What is hard to guard against is that the ability of this thing is not based on life and death, even if it is dead, it is also effective.

After the No. 32 explorer killed one of them, he tried to bring it back in the car, but the result was the price of seven lives.

Immediately next to the 4 o'clock direction is a large concave basin. However, it is very difficult to judge from a few photos, whether it is a basin below, or on the contrary, the Gobi Desert is a plateau at all.

Two teams of explorers have already gone to the basin, but judging from the fact that they haven't come back so far, they are already in danger.

Charles stretched out his pen and wrote a word of danger in the direction of the basin.

From the 6 o'clock direction of the basin to the desert that Charles explored before, there is a vast Gobi.

Other explorers also explored inside, until the material was exhausted, and there was not much gain except that the soil quality of the Gobi Desert over there became better.

More than 60 groups of explorers have encountered sporadic animals and plants, and these things, like the relics, have strange and special abilities, whether they are moving or immobile.

From this point Charles can judge that his previous guess is correct. Everything on the surface is a relic, living or dead.

But this information is not important to him now, and he has not found any clues about the darkness.

Charles was not very disappointed. He knew that things were not that simple, and the darkness couldn't be found all at once.

Looking at the map in front of him, he estimated how many explorers he would need in the future. The first batch of explorers alone had already lost more than a dozen people. If he didn't add more, he was afraid that no one would use them after exploring a few more times.

As he was thinking about this, Bud walked in, holding a piece of paper in his hand. "My lord, a telegram from Cat Island."

Charles knew what was written on the telegram without looking at it. Julio must have someone in the Pit Fortress. Hearing that he was back, he wanted to contact him as soon as possible.

Charles didn't bother to pick a place, so he started the summoning ceremony directly in this tent.

As the sand floated up in the air, Charles unexpectedly discovered that besides the two, there was one more person in the position that should have belonged to Ftan.

The man had a rich face, with a single eye on his right eye, and a smile that valued peace all the time on his round face.

Before Charles asked who that person was, Julio next to him asked directly, "How is the situation on the surface? Have you found any clues to the darkness?"

Seeing the other party talking about business, Charles temporarily put down the doubts in his heart, and quickly told them about his experience.

After hearing what Charles said, Harhold stroked his beard and said: "The surface looks dangerous, but the rewards are great. There are so many relic resources that cannot be found in Earthsea."

"Now is not the time to think about this. The preliminary exploration has been successful. Time is running out. All the resources in the Earth Sea should be tilted here, including all the resources in your South Sea and West Sea."

"It's not just explorers, the airship manufacturing factory, and the exploration ship transformation site all need people."

There was a look of embarrassment on Harhold's face. "It's not a small thing."

"All islands must bear a part of the expedition materials. Those that can produce fuel will provide fuel, and those that can produce food will provide food. This is a war of species extinction, and everything must be explored first!" Charles said firmly.

Julio nodded slowly with a serious expression. Although he didn't say anything, he had already expressed his attitude.

"It's true that there are so many words, but once interests are involved, it's not that simple. You also know that the death light a year ago caused us all to suffer huge losses." Harhold said with a hint of bitter.

"Although I'm a representative of the West Sea Region, I'm different from you. There are many big and small families in the West Sea Region. I can persuade them, but they may not listen to me."

Hearing this, before Charles could speak, Julio's roaring voice exploded again.

"You pedantic old bastards, it's best to understand the current situation. The South Sea Region and the North Sea Region have already taken action! No matter what, the West Sea Region must also pay the same!!"

Then there was another three-party dragging time. Although some time was wasted, the matter was finally resolved.

Except for explorers, all islands in the three sea areas must undertake part of the exploration tasks. Everyone in Earthsea must support exploration unconditionally.

If any families in the Western Sea Region dare to resist, the three parties present will exert pressure at the same time.

No one in the current islands of the Earth Sea can stop this temporary alliance.

Although it is said that each other is not pleasing to the eye, but now the three parties know that at this time, it is the first to find the darkness in order to maximize their own interests.

After finishing his work, Charles once again turned his gaze to the person next to him. "Who is he? The representative of the East China Sea who replaced the Fortan Sect?"

"Jacques, the president of the Explorers' Association, nice to meet you, Governor Charles." Jax bowed slightly.

Hearing what he said, Charles turned his eyes directly to Julio, "You found it? You should know that this kind of meeting is not a voting system, right? No matter how many people you put in it, it's useless."

"Shut up, Charles, if you can't talk, don't talk. This guy was found by himself." After Julio finished speaking, the sand that had condensed into his body instantly dispersed and fell to the ground.

Seeing Julio leave, Jax continued to Charles and said, "Please believe me, I have nothing to do with him. The Explorers Association will not favor any governor. We treat all explorers equally."

"When Swann troubled you before, why did Julio help you out?"

"We have paid enough to ask Mr. Julio for help."

"Ding~!" Charles opened his pocket watch, and he glanced at it and put it in his pocket again. "Forget it, let's not talk about this, if you have something to say, hurry up, time is running out."

"Governor Charles, in the face of this kind of disaster, our Explorers Association also needs to contribute a part of our strength, and we are here to help."
