Mysteries of the Earthsea

Chapter 156 Falling

Charles wiped his sweaty palms on his clothes, and his mind turned quickly.

These things speak of disaster? What disaster can there be on the surface? Could it be that the heat on the surface is caused by humans themselves?

"Light-skinned people, get out of here! You will only bring disaster if you go up!!"

The giant praying mantises kept flapping their wings and repeating the same words.

Seeing the six-meter-long giant praying mantis in all directions, Charles knew that the most important thing at present was not to provoke them.

After considering his language, he said, "Who are you? Why don't you let us go up?"

Since they can communicate, maybe they can get some information out of their mouths.

But these praying mantises were not willing to talk to Charles, and the sound of flapping their wings became more and more frequent.

"Light-skinned people, get down, immediately!! The last disaster was caused by you!! The contract is over! We will never believe your words again! Forever!!" All the sickle blades of the praying mantis popped out.

"What the hell are you talking about the disaster! What happened to the land surface now! I don't know who the human beings who came into contact with you last time are. I'm not with them!" Charles yelled at them.

The sound of flapping wings disappeared, and the praying mantises gathered into a circle hung like sculptures on the cliff.

Time seems to have stopped at this moment, the humans and the monsters on the wall are still.

At this moment, Charles felt the sunlight getting stronger and stronger, he grabbed the rope with both hands, and climbed onto the airbag like a monkey.

He stood still, squinted his eyes and looked up. There was a bright corner of the sun in the blue at most three hundred meters above. That was the surface, where he was.

At this moment, with a "buzz", the praying mantises spread their ferocious insect wings and rushed over with their teeth and claws.

The sharp sickle blade was inserted into the airbag like cutting tofu, and with the continuous sounds of leather tearing and wood cracking, the entire Shengzhan Horn was torn apart. The torn pieces also included the bodies of some crew members.

But for some unknown reason, the praying mantises did not attack Charles. They hung on the surrounding cliffs, pointing their bud-shaped heads at the falling Charles.

Charles quickly adjusted the state of the air, intending to wait for the surviving believers of the Illuminati to rescue him.

However, his thoughts went wrong this time. The surviving believer crew members of the Shengzhan did not fall with him. They resolutely flew towards the dangerous tunnel. "The mission of the bishop must be completed! Long live the Sun God!!"

From Charles' perspective, they were like moths rushing towards the flame at this moment.

When he completely fell out of the gap, he saw the vast number of praying mantises pounced on the believers in the dazzling sunlight.

The speed of the body's fall was so fast that Charles had no time to think about others at this time. If he fell directly on the water at this height, it would basically be the same as falling on the concrete floor.

The whistling wind pressure shook Charles' hair rapidly, and his mind was running fast to find a way to save himself.

Seeing the rapid enlargement of the sea, Charles took out the bat mirror and wiped it on his bloody right hand.

The ferocious bat monster quickly flapped its wings, reducing the force of its fall. Charles finally stopped when he was still twenty meters away from the sea.

It's a pity that in the next second, without any warning, there was a "touch", and the red flame quickly enveloped it. Charles felt pain like needle pricks all over his body.

Sunshine is the nemesis of vampires, and it only takes a few seconds at most, and Charles' ending will change from falling to death to burning to death.

In desperation, Charles retracted his fleshy wings, and he fell straight into the icy sea water.

Seeing something falling into the sea in the gap, I hope that everyone on the island is too nervous, and some people with good water skills rush to the sea quickly to try to catch people.

Soon Charles, who was dying, was helped by Feuerbach into the hut.

Hu En was the first to greet him with a group of believers. He was so nervous that he said, "What happened up there? Have you seen the God of Light?"

Charles, who was covered in black, waved his hands weakly, "No, what attacked us was a creature that lived on the top of the cave, and they prevented us from going up."

"What does that kind of thing look like? Is there a lot of it?" Hu En continued to ask.

But he couldn't get an answer to this question. Charles tilted his head and passed out.

I don't know how long it has passed, Charles faintly woke up, he was lying on a big neat bed, his body was wrapped in thick white gauze.

With a slight movement, Charles felt a faint stabbing pain in his body.

"Don't move around." The doctor's old voice came from the left.

Charles turned his neck with difficulty, and saw the ship doctor who was adjusting some kind of medicine, and the bandage sitting beside him.

"Didn't I tell you not to move?" The ship doctor grabbed Charles's head and quickly straightened it.

"How long have I been unconscious?"

"Seven or eight days, you were seriously injured this time, and the skin on your body was burned a lot."

"Hehe, is it so serious? It seems that there will be a lot of scars on my body."

Listening to Charles' relaxed tone, the doctor's ugly face was somewhat surprised. "With such a serious injury, you seem to be in a good mood."

Recalling that scene, the corners of Charles' mouth rose slightly. That was the first time he saw the outside scenery in nine years.

Although he couldn't see clearly because of the strong light, the scenery was so beautiful in his heart. "It's okay, it's worth it."

A trace of disgust appeared on the doctor's face. "Okay, don't stop, keep looking for death, and when you lose your life that day, then I can get off the boat."

Charles didn't have time to chat with him, and he saw important information inside, and he needed to tell the believers of the Illuminati immediately.

Since those praying mantises are just some living things, it is much easier to deal with, as long as they find a way to clean them up, the way to the surface will be cleared.

"Doctor, call Hu En, I have something to see him."

"Don't make noise, you can't see people in the current situation, so you can rest at ease."

As the doctor said, he injected a tube of black medicine into Charles' arm, and Charles' eyelids drooped rapidly and he lost consciousness.

The doctor limped out of the ward, and a believer of the Illumination God who had been waiting at the door immediately stood up and asked nervously, "Is Governor Charles awake?"

"What's the rush! Didn't wake up!" The doctor roughly pushed him away and walked out.

Walking out of the narrow corridor, the doctor walked onto the deck of the Narwhal, looked melancholy at the bright Hope Island in the distance, and took a sip of wine.

"The captain...was awake, why didn't you... tell them..."

Hearing the slow voice behind him, the doctor didn't look back. "Let him rest. The only thing that can keep him quiet now is the hospital bed."
