Chapter 626 Rising

"Ten years..." Charles held the skull and looked towards the surrounding forest where there was no trace of human life.

Since human skulls appear here, it is obvious that human beings have been here. When he was still struggling to die in the Earth Sea, there were already humans living on the surface of the Earth.

The foundation came up so early? Or is the skull really a surface-living human? The reason why the surface is so barren may be that they have already flown into the sky.

Charles looked at the moss-covered skull in front of him, thinking about various questions, and now more mysteries popped up in his mind.

Seeing that there were no more clues, Charles suppressed the mystery in his heart.

"Let's go and continue to explore upwards." Charles looked up at the almost straight sloped double-sided forest, and he bent down and threw the skull back on the mossy ground.

"Captain, don't you need to take this thing with you?" Dipper asked, looking down at the skull.

"No, no matter what this thing is, it's just a clue at the moment. If you want to get a complete answer, it's not enough to rely on a single clue."

"And it's very unsafe to carry this thing with you. God knows, has this skull become some kind of relic with powerful side effects?"

Charles led the other crew members out of the dense forest.

The four exploration airships slowly moved away from the dense forest and explored to the upper level.

"Emma, ​​how did you explore the journey?" Charles wanted to know more details about them.

"In order to avoid being wiped out by some kind of danger, we usually use three airships to explore at the same time, two of which are responsible for exploration and one is responsible for recording."

"According to the plan, when the other two airships stop on the island to explore, the other airship must follow from a distance, and record what they encounter through telescopes and cameras."

"Originally, this should be the safest way, but all the airships that went up before were shot down without accident."

"We reckon that thing has a very powerful ability to fly, otherwise they wouldn't have missed even a single airship, but it's a little strange that there were no dead bodies among the fallen wreckage."

The one-armed woman continued to tell Charles the details above.

"When exploring the third island, how many airships did you send up?" Charles asked.

"Three groups, a total of nine floating airships, this is very wrong. When we explored the second island, we only paid a lot less than this and easily won it."

This is not good news. So many airships have already crashed, which means that the third island is in great danger.

"In other words, you don't have any clues about the so-called third island right now?"

"Uh... no, everyone is dead, there is only one exception, and I am the only one who can survive." The one-armed woman showed a trace of grief on her face, repeatedly thinking of her dead companion.

Charles looked at her unexpectedly, "Your ship has also been to it?"

The woman nodded, "I'm the carpenter on the reconnaissance airship. The captain led us to explore that island before."

"Because I was injured before, the captain asked me to go back to my cabin to rest, and the ship doctor is changing the dressing on my wound."

"In order to avoid the pain, the ship's doctor gave me anesthesia and made me fall asleep. When I woke up, I found that the surrounding area was on fire, and the ship's doctor was gone."

"When I rushed to the sloping deck holding the parachute, I saw that the airbag had ignited a fire and turned into a huge fireball. Our ship was attacked."

"Hmm..." Charles rubbed his chin and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Looks a bit like mind control, maybe get Ana to come over for a bit.

As if knowing what Charles would think, Emma immediately reminded him. "Governor Charles, it's not mind control. The second batch of exploration ships deliberately brought several relics to prevent mind control, but they still disappeared."

Obviously no one is a fool, the explorers are keenly aware of this, and have prepared countermeasures, but the methods they came up with have no effect.

Charles glanced at the exploration airship outside, "Then what is their solution this time?"

"Captain Locke once explored an island. For some reason, the brains of him and his crew were left on that island. He is confident to deal with this problem. No one can affect the island as long as they don't go to the sunken island. into their thinking and consciousness."

Following the woman's fingers, Charles saw a captain wearing a triangular captain's cap on an airship not far away.

Seeing Charles looking at him, Locke took off his hat, put it on his chest and saluted Charles.

Charles saw the shriveled back of his head, where there should have been a skull and a head, there was nothing but a thin layer of scalp.

"Explorers really have all kinds of talents, so they are not dead." Charles looked back.

Time moved by a little bit, and everyone's hearts slowly hung up.

The one-armed woman stared fixedly at the nearby woods, as if she was discerning something.

When she saw a small piece of wood that was scorched and blackened, she immediately issued a warning, "Captain! We have reached the territory of the invisible monster! Be careful!"

Charles didn't say anything, and turned his head slightly behind him. The two vampires who had already prepared beside him quickly turned into bats, and continuously emitted sound waves around the Narwhal. Invisibility is completely useless for bats that use sound waves to detect.

Soon, various countermeasures also appeared on other exploration ships. Some of them were filled with purple mist, and some were covered with all kinds of powder. These are all ways to deal with invisibility.

For them, the unknown is always the scariest, because it can't make any preparations, as long as they know the details of the other party, then as explorers, there are dozens of ways to deal with it.

"They're coming! Three of them! The right side of the chimney!!" Upon hearing Orderic's reminder, all the crew members on the deck pulled out their weapons and shot towards that side.

A few spots of blood red appeared out of thin air in midair, but it disappeared instantly in the next second.

At this moment, Dipper's body instantly atomized, almost covering most of the deck. After Paipo's flesh and blood blessing, his ability was also greatly strengthened.

There are obviously a few transparent spider shadows in the blue mist, and it is still changing its shape.

Charles directly took out the black thorn and flicked it, instantly nailing the thing to the ground.

It didn't take long for these invisible things to be easily solved by Charles and others.

Charles pointed to the nearby forest. "Aside from this so-called invisible monster, is there anything else inside?"
