Chapter 379 Ambush

On the rugged mountain road among the green and dense forests, Charles led the crew and quickly chased after the Pope.

Although the Pope couldn't catch up with Ronka, he was not able to catch up with ordinary people in flight. If it wasn't for the mouse's nose, he might have lost track of him long ago.

After running at extreme speed for more than an hour, Charles finally found the Pope at the top of a small slope.

"What are you running for! Didn't you say to listen to my command? If this happens again, let's explore separately!" Charles shouted displeasedly at the pope surrounded by believers.

The Pope didn't respond, and looked down the slope with a solemn expression.

Charles followed his gaze and looked down, and found that there were various houses in the woods below, and the windows of some houses were still lit.

"What? That person ran inside just now?" Charles asked the Pope.

"No... I didn't catch him, and my attacks didn't work on him. Something is very wrong with this island."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the people present became dignified. They knew the true strength of the Pope. That was the existence of a tough fight with Ronka. Even his attack was ineffective. So what kind of existence is the other party? ?

West swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and leaned against his companion.

Sensing the tension in the team, Charles asked the Pope, "Is it a person or something?"

"I don't know, maybe it's maybe not, but if every one of the residents on this island has the same strength as me, then we'll go there like this, and we're looking for death."

Charles recalled what happened just now. From the current point of view, the black shadow just now did not mean to conflict with them. Maybe they could communicate.

Those friendly rope people before made him understand that not all active people on unexplored islands are enemies.

"What are you going to do next?" Charles asked the Pope after thinking for a moment.

There was a look of surprise on the pope's face, and then he bowed slightly to Charles.

"Didn't it be agreed before? You are our commander now. You should consider this issue. No matter what order you give, I will execute it unconditionally."

The corners of Charles' mouth trembled slightly, and he suppressed the swear words from the top of his throat.

He pulled out the revolver on Dipper's waist and fired three shots into the air. The crisp gunshots echoed in the forest, but no one appeared in either the forest or the buildings below.

It was impossible for the other party not to hear such a loud gunshot. Since the other party did not come out, it meant that they did not want to contact them.

Charles threw the pistol to his boatswain, "Let's go, since they won't come out we will go down."

With trepidation, more than twenty people slowly approached the buildings below.

In this kind of place, everyone is full of energy, even the Pope is no exception. There are some weird things on the unknown island, which cannot be made up by pure strength.

When Charles and the others arrived at the building complex, their worries became more and more serious. There was something wrong with these buildings.

In some places, the lights are on in the rooms as if there are still people living there, but the other villa next door is so decayed that it is almost invisible.

This is the foundation's site, Charles is very sure, not to mention the simple style of these buildings, but looking at the brand new four-wheeled vehicles next to him, he knows that this place is absolutely impossible to be built by humans from Earthsea.

Naturally, it was impossible for Charles to just enter these weird buildings. He needed spies.

He squatted down and said to the mice surrounding him: "Go and search in each room, and if there is anything abnormal, immediately issue a warning."

"Squeak~squeak~!" The mice shouted at Char in unison, and then quickly dispersed into the surrounding buildings.

The mice in the nearby house quickly came back, and shook their heads, saying nothing unusual to Charles.

The mice ran farther and farther. Charles and the others stayed where they were and waited quietly.

Looking at the colored bubbles around and at the top, Charles felt a faint uneasiness in his heart. He turned his head and said to the crew. "Verification."

The crew of the Narwhal quickly took off the cloth strips on their shoulders, and compared the numbers and names of their own crew members to ensure that everything was normal.

The Pope looked at his move in surprise, "What is this for?"

"Make sure there is no more and no less between us."

"Ah, it seems that Charles has gained experience in exploring so many islands. He is indeed an old exploration captain."

Charles pretended not to hear the pope's compliments, and after confirming with the crew that there was nothing unusual about his companion, he put the cloth strip around his shoulders again.

"The surface exit is so important to your Light God Sect, the people behind you should be strong, right?"

Charles looked at the bald head behind him again. He needed to know the strength and special abilities of these people so that he could make better use of them.

The pope showed a proud expression on his face, "Hehe, of course, their strength may not be the strongest among our popes, but they are definitely good explorers who have explored ten islands, such as this one, Rice, he is ..."

Before the Pope could finish speaking, the warning rats suddenly sounded in front of them.

"There is a situation!" Charles led everyone to the front and immediately rang.

The rats were still screaming, and the sounds were full of anxiety. They seemed to be chasing someone. Suddenly, the rats turned away from the buildings and entered the dense woods next to them.

Charles raised his left hand, and the prosthetic anchor shot directly to a tall tree trunk, and he swung quickly through the trees like Mount Tai.

He took the lead and ran in the forefront, and he was getting closer and closer to the mouse in front of him. However, at this moment, a cloud of black mist suddenly appeared from under a tree, enveloping Charles completely.

Charles, who was plunged into darkness, did not panic. Instead, his prosthetic limb exerted force instantly, leading his body to swing towards the canopy of the tree.

His own crew and the pope are not far behind, and they will arrive in a few seconds at most.

Charles thought so, but the other party seemed to be able to predict what he would do. With a "clang", the chain of the anchor hook was easily cut off.

Charles, who was unable to concentrate in mid-air, fell to the ground. Before he could react, a semicircular elastic thing covered Charles on the ground from top to bottom.

With a sound of "stabbing", Charles kept emitting lightning all over his body and ejected it to the surroundings, but the lightning attack had no effect on the thing covering him at all, and that thing was insulated.

Just when Charles controlled the tentacles and tried to push the cover away, a pungent burnt smell entered his nose, and the solid covering him quickly melted into a semi-liquid, covering his entire body like asphalt.
