Chapter 625 Forest
"Besides this bird, what else is there?" Charles asked the one-armed guide again, looking at the purple fog that was constantly being broken above.
"There is also a kind of invisible monster, we can't see their appearance, even if we are not close to the forest, it will still appear on our boat and kill our companions."
Speaking of this, there was a hint of fear in the guide's eyes, and she touched her severed limb with her good hands, as if thinking of something terrible.
"There were lacerations on the body of the dead, as if someone carefully tore the flesh and bones apart. My hand was torn off by it. I could feel many small hands breaking my hand hard. Finger, I don't know what the hell that is."
"It didn't seem to only attack us, it even attacked the previous birds."
"There is also a blue "fish" with a hollowed-out body. It doesn't attack us, it just opens its big mouth and swallows the green smoke above the forest..."
Listening to the guide's introduction, Charles gradually got to know the environment above. This forest obliquely placed in the air has a mature ecological chain.
It's hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, at least it's not beyond Charles' understanding.
Soon the first island ever explored swung to Charles' left. He can even see traces of his battles on it.
When the island gradually disappeared into the darkness. The surrounding area was once again shrouded in emptiness and darkness.
Standing on the deck, Charles looked towards the darkness in front of him, and now he had the feeling of returning to the deep sea again, this kind of black was very similar to the black in the deep sea.
When they came here, the atmosphere on the ship became a little tense, and everyone knew what had happened here.
Everyone holds their weapons in their hands, as if this thing can really bring a little courage.
The three airships that came up with Charles turned on all the searchlights on their bodies and kept shining around.
After staying in this oppressive environment for two hours, a drop of sweat dripped from the faces of the crew members.
Among them is the reason for tension, and part of the reason for the increase in temperature. The current temperature is close to 30 degrees.
The second officer, Nico, took out a gauze towel and wiped his wet neck. Just as he was about to ask the guide next to him how far away, a slight whistle suddenly sounded from the side of the ship.
"That's the voice! Lord Charles! Those birds are coming!"
Charles' heart tightened when he heard this, he stepped on his feet and jumped out of the boat. "Man, I'm going up!"
"Shua!" A rope followed quickly, rolled up Charles' waist and swung him vigorously, throwing him above the airbag.
Stepping on the wobbly airbags with his feet, Charles, who frowned, looked in the direction of the sound, and a group of afterimages was rapidly circling the four airships.
Before Charles could identify what it was, a small piece of the right airbag of the airship on the left side of the Narwhal collapsed instantly, piercing the airbag of that ship!
Then the phantom flew towards the Narwhal.
Seeing it getting closer and closer to the airbag of the Narwhal, Charles felt a slight movement in his heart. A few transparent tentacles quickly stretched out from the airbag and swung towards it, but it easily dodged it.
Just when the afterimage quickly turned in the air and aimed at Charles, several tentacles stretched out from it and wrapped it around him. White light flashed by, and the thing lost its power instantly, emitting white smoke Falling helplessly downward
When the tentacles easily caught the thing, Charles also saw the appearance of the thing clearly.
It was a strange-looking bird, hairless and without feet, perhaps it wasn't a bird at all.
The hairless skin is covered with enlarged versions of goosebumps.
The mouth of this thing is barb-shaped, and its head grows behind the back. The airbag before it was not punctured but scratched. It doesn’t look big, at most two slaps. It’s hard to imagine why it’s so fast. there so fast.
Charles squeezed the neck of the dead bird and looked aside. The airship with some shriveled airbags was still rising steadily. The huge airbag seems to be one piece, but the inside is composed of small airbags one by one. With a design like this, it doesn't matter if a few are broken.
The Narwhal continued its ascent methodically, and the presence of this bird proved that they were almost there.
Ten minutes later, Charles suddenly felt something. He suddenly raised his head, and a huge, dark and oppressive bottom of the floating island appeared in front of him.
As the Narwhal continued to rise, Charles felt oppressed, as if a mountain was slowly pressing down from above.
The second island is very large, twice the size of the first floating island,
When coming to the side from the bottom, he also saw the forest at the guide's mouth. It is roughly estimated that the length and width are at least hundreds of miles.
From the bottom of the island to the side of the island, the airship took a lot of effort.
The forest growing from the second island is indeed horizontal. It's as if a giant tore down the entire forest, then stood it up, and then folded each other.
This is not a forest, here is a pair of forests, it has left and right sides.
The slightly sloping aerial forest is like an aerial elevator, inserting obliquely into the darkness of the upper part.
The trees in the forest are obviously not species on the surface. The twisted growth of the branches wrapped in the strange moss is intertwined with each other, layer upon layer like a forest of thorns.
"Where did he find the skeleton head before?" Charles asked the guide.
The one-armed woman took out a map from her arms, "On this floating island, the captain has prepared the map."
"Have you finished exploring here?" Charles remembered that they said they were going to explore the third island.
"Yes, the exploration has been completed. There is no darkness we need to find here, and there are no valuable clues except the skull head."
As Charles waved his finger, the Narwhal slowly approached, and the terrifying forest became more and more terrifying.
But the pitted open space in the forest made everyone less afraid of the forest, which had already been occupied by humans.
According to the island map, Charles quickly found the human skull on the ground in the east of the island.
Charles carefully reached out and picked it up. He tapped it with his fingers first, and found that the touch and sound were similar to bones.
Gently squeezed another small piece, Charles threw Linda behind him, "Look what kind of bone it is."
Linda first sniffed it lightly, then threw the piece of bone into her mouth and began to chew. "It's a human bone, and the taste is normal."
At this time, Dipper came over from the side and took the thing from Charles' hand.
After carefully identifying the location and environment of this thing, and scraping away the impurities on the bone with his hands, Dipper said to Charles: "Captain, the time of death is at least ten years."
