Chapter 566 Attacked
In a dim cabin of the Narwhal, a pen is held by a bandaged hand, and lines of beautiful cursive characters are written.
"Mother, is the house okay? Everything is fine for me. It's desolate up there, and there's no danger. Everyone is still alive."
The bandage suddenly stopped writing here, then crumpled the ball of paper, hesitated for a long time before writing again.
"We have found a way to stop the sea from rising. As long as this problem is solved, everything will be normal soon. By then, I will be able to go home."
"You are not in good health. You must go to Lily's father for a check-up on the 1st of every month, so that if there is any disease, you can treat it in time."
In the cabin below the bandages, the two vampires, Orderic and Severer, drank with wine glasses.
After taking a sip, Severer swallowed the blood in his mouth with a painful expression. "Uh~ This kind of encapsulated human blood is really unpalatable, it's almost clotted, buddy, don't you have any fresh stuff here?"
"Yes, but you have to learn how to play cards first." Orderic said slowly.
"I still don't understand why you want to board the ship. As a lookout and scout, one blood is enough, you don't need to come here."
"Don't say that, buddy, I was on the Narwhal earlier than you. When I explored with the captain, you weren't on the ship. By the way, the mistress asked me to give you something, something that can The thing that promoted you to the title."
Saying that, Severer took out a drop of blood contained in a small transparent bottle from inside the cloak. The color of that drop of blood was very peculiar, like a bright ruby.
When the thing came out, Orderic sniffed excitedly, his Adam's apple kept sliding with his swallowing.
"Here, be sure to take it, this thing is not something that ordinary vampires can enjoy, and you can't buy it on the black market at all." Severer said and forced the thing into his hands.
Orderic pulled out the cork, put his nose close to the mouth of the bottle and sniffed lightly, with an intoxicated expression on his scarred face.
But just when he was about to drink, what Severer said next to him made him stop.
"They said, as long as you do your own thing well, there will still be these things."
Orderic quickly put the cork back and handed it to Severer, "No, although I respect the mistress, I will not betray the captain."
"Don't say that, no matter what, you are the blood of Dark Crystal Island after all." Severer said and pushed the drop of blood back again.
"I'm not. That island didn't bring me any hope. Ever since I was injured, those guys on Dark Crystal Island will only humiliate and bully me!" Orderic seemed to be recalling some unpleasant things, his tone somewhat Excited.
"Hey, buddy, don't get excited. I didn't tell you to betray your captain, it's just a little bit of kindness from Dark Crystal Island to its companions lost in the outer islands."
Hearing this, Orderic stopped pushing his hands outwards. It has to be said that the high-quality blood essence unique to the vampire is really very tempting.
"Man, this is really not a bribe, it's just an investment at best. Your close relationship with the Governor of Hope Island is worth the investment."
After thinking for a while, Odilik uncapped the bottle again and drank it with his head up.
The cold feeling rushed from his throat to his stomach, causing the blind vampire to take a deep breath, and his body quickly deformed, transforming into a bloated and weird vampire monster.
But at the same time, the remaining burns on his face began to heal rapidly.
After a few seconds, all the changes began to retract, and the monster-like Orderric returned to his previous appearance.
Except for one thing, the sun-burned scars on his face have completely healed.
Orderic seemed very excited, his right hand tremblingly took off the sunglasses on his face, only to see that the eyes that should have been like candied eggs had been replaced by a pair of blood-red pupils, and he could see again.
The vampires all looked good, including of course Orderick who had fully recovered. He looked only in his twenties when he was over a hundred years old, with a straight nose and a flawless face.
"Sorry, I'll talk again when I have time. I need to go to the turbine cabin to be on duty." After Orderic finished speaking quickly, he turned and ran towards the medical room in a hurry.
In the cockpit at this time, Charles was standing next to Norden at the helm, looking at the barren Gobi Desert outside.
"Thirty on the left rudder, according to the information from the Explorers' Association, there is a pool of blood spreading in front of it, and several exploration teams died after encountering it. In order to avoid trouble, we need to go around."
Norden nodded, and his steady hands began to turn.
"Captain, there are track marks and tire marks ahead, someone should have explored it."
Charles nodded. "Looking at the degree of weathering, it should be from the previous batch. Let's go on. Our mission this time is an area that has not been explored later."
"But captain, darkness is something like this. The God of Light can only touch it because he is a god, but how should we bring it back?"
"Let's find it first, and then think of a solution after we find it. Now that we haven't even found the shadow of darkness, it's completely meaningless to think about it. And we have no choice."
Just as Charles said this, the door next to him opened and Dipper walked in.
His supposedly missing legs were replaced by prosthetic limbs made of gears and metal tubing.
Dipper smiled and lifted his foot up, "Captain, look! This thing is really good, it's exactly like a real foot, with a spring inside, and now I can jump more than ten meters high."
"But there is one bad thing. When my body turns into blue mist, it won't keep up, and I need to connect it back again."
Charles didn't bother to talk to him, and turned his head to continue looking at the map next to him.
Every arrow on it is an explorer, and all the arrows are pointing to the west, and the Narwhal is now one of them.
Just when Charles was estimating how long it would take to reach the unexplored area by humans, there was a loud bang, and a cloud of thick smoke suddenly burst out right in front of the Narwhal.
Norden, who was tense all over, quickly turned the rudder, and finally let the Narwhal brush past the thick smoke.
"What's going on? Judging from the current information, the Gobi Desert should be safe. Could there be any underground monsters?"
But when his keen nose smelled a smell of gunpowder smoke, he immediately realized that the smoke was not caused by anything on the surface, someone was attacking him with shells!
Dipper next to him also smelled it, and he immediately sounded the siren, and all the crew members who heard the sound quickly prepared for a counterattack.
At this time, Charles had turned into a bat and rushed out. As soon as he came to the sky, several modified amphibious steamships came into view in the distance.
"Swoosh~~Boom!!" The shell exploded not far from Charles, and the huge shock wave threw him into a big somersault.
