Chapter 7 The Undetectable

"January 11, 435

We are finally here, blessed by the Almighty, as long as I get the holy object back, I can accept the initiation ceremony and become a true servant of the Holy Lord! "

This is the content of the last day's diary. From this title, it can be seen that the captain is a follower of the Fortan religion. It is not difficult to guess that the Fortan religion sent its own followers before looking for Charles.

Charles asked the crew to search on other ships and found that the situation was similar, and the captain's diary recorded their last moment of excitement.

Just when Charles couldn't figure out why, Skinny Chef Frey handed over a diary.

"Captain, look at this, this one is a little different."

Charles took it and opened it, the pupils in his eyes shrank to the smallest in an instant, and he saw that the beige diary was full of messy words.

"Be careful! Don't go to the island, your own people!! They are not human!! They are going to eat us! I don't want to be caught! I want to go back to the island, safe! Island!"

The chaotic arrangement of various phrases with different logics indicated that the man's spirit was a little abnormal, and everyone who read the diary felt a little creepy in their hearts, wondering what the captain had gone through?

"Gudong" Di Pu swallowed hard, retracted his head and looked at his companions around him vigilantly. The diary indicated that the danger came from his own people. Does that mean there are monsters lurking in the surrounding area now?

Charles knew what he was thinking, and slapped him on the head with the diary, "Don't think about it, we haven't landed on the island yet."

"Captain, shall we still go?" Di Pu said hesitantly.

"Of course." Charles suddenly became determined. No matter what dangers there were on the island, they could not block his way home, even if he died on the way.

The Mouse slowly approached the beach, and after the rusty anchor hit the water, the black smoke from the chimney slowly dissipated.

A wooden boat was released, and everyone approached the island together.

Looking at the dark island that was getting closer, Charles opened a wooden box and fired some flintlock guns and revolvers. The bottom layer was a bundle of tightly packed explosives.

For this mission, he specially purchased a lot of things.

With weapons, everyone calmed down a lot.

Seven strong men with weapons in their hands jumped out of the canoe and walked across the beach towards the forest in the distance.

It is said to be a forest, there is not a single green one, all kinds of ferocious branches seem to be covered with a thick layer of rust, all the trunks seem to have a tumor, some places are swollen, and some are suddenly sunken .

Walking in it, there is an illusion of walking in the human body.

The crew all knew that their mission target was a golden statue of Fertan. Under the light of the torches, they kept looking for any shiny things around them, but they found nothing.

Not long after walking, a group of scattered footprints appeared on the ground. Seeing someone's footprints, everyone was relieved. The footprints at least proved that this road was walked by other people, so it should be safer.

I don't know if I guessed it right. The 7 people walked for nearly two hours, but nothing unusual happened.

The tension eased a little as they gathered a bunch of sticks and made a bonfire.

The white bread was burnt by the fire, and the crew members ate it while guessing what happened to those who disappeared.

"Did you say monsters ate them? Like something in the sea."

"It's not like that. Some of those boats are members of the Fortan religion. You know that things in the sea rarely attack them. I think there is some danger on the island."

Charles did not join the discussion. He looked around vigilantly. This eerie forest was very strange. Except for the sounds they brought out, there was no sound, not even the chirping of insects and birds.

There is no danger on the island, which is undoubtedly very strange. He has read the records of many exploration captains, and none of the islands in the sea is safe.

The islands inhabited by humans are now occupied only after the danger has been eliminated through hard work.

Just like the Coral Islands before, when humans first came into contact with this coral island, they found that the island was alive at all. More than 20 exploration ships formed a fleet and fought a big battle with this giant coral. It is said that many died Only then did people pile it up to death.

"Stop chatting, look for it after eating, the longer you stay in this place, the more dangerous it will be."

Hearing what Charles said, the crew stopped chatting and began to swallow faster, recovering their strength for a while, and Charles and his party continued to set off.

"Captain, I heard that after we go back, we will take the big boat, right?" Di Pu leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"Um."

"Great. At that time, I will be able to manage a dozen sailors like the bosun of other big ships. It won't be like now, where I don't even have half a sailor under my command."

Casting a glance at the enthusiastic young man, the corners of Charles' lips turned up. It's good to be young, and always think in the right direction in everything you do.

But after going back, it is really time to replenish the sailors. Although the Mouse is not big, it is a bit outrageous to have no sailors.

Charles and the others continued to move forward along that road, but this small road seemed to have no end, and it continued to spread forward.

If it weren't for the sporadic footprints on the ground that kept changing, Charles would have thought he was standing still.

When they walked for nearly three hours, and their feet were going to be sore, the forest suddenly disappeared in front of them, and a stone building entangled by brown vines suddenly appeared in front of them.

The building looks a little dilapidated from the outside, and it is impossible to tell whether it is a temple or a church. The place where the wooden gate should have been placed has disappeared, leaving only a dark hole.

Charles pulled the bandage with his hand, pointed at him solemnly and asked, "Is that thing in there?"

Bandage nodded hesitantly, "It should be... yes... I don't know... I'm sorry... I don't remember very well..."

Whether it is or not, Charles decided to go in and have a look, at least the footprints on the ground went all the way to the door, the footprints on the ground were not messy, and the danger had not yet appeared.

He turned his head to look at his big wheel pipe and said to the chef, "Let's go, the four of us go in and have a look."

James and Frey nodded at the same time, and strode in with Charles.

The light from the torch illuminates the inside of the building. Compared to the dilapidated exterior, the inside looks very clean and empty. There is not even a speck of dust on the flat red floor, but the things on the walls make the scalp tingle for those who come in.

All kinds of weird reliefs are layered on the surrounding walls, and deformed creatures beyond human imagination are entangled with each other.

Like a cross between a starfish and an octopus, it has an eye embedded in the center of its weird body.

Through their body language, they are vaguely worshiping something.

But these weird reliefs didn't attract much attention from the three of them. Everyone focused their attention on the golden statue in the center. That kind of weird human-shaped statue covered with tentacles was God Ftan.
