Chapter 769 Forest

Dark purple tree trunks protruded from the dark green water, intertwined above the boat, and a turtle shell boat the size of half a football field slowly passed through the forest.

The turtle shell with some moss was opened, and several Haike sailors looked nervously at the strange scene around them. It was extremely quiet inside, except for the sound of the ship crashing into the waves, there was no other sound.

"Boss, have you been to this place before? Is the destination really here? There are no creatures in the water, so there shouldn't be any danger?" Cindy, who looked very timid, asked the boatswain next to him. road.

"This is the territory of our gods, what do you have to worry about, although this route was newly opened a month ago, but this time, I have run it for the third time, and there is no danger."

Speaking of this, there was a hint of contempt in the bosun's eyes. Although the guy in front of him was diligent, he was also timid. He always asked questions because of fear, and kicked him away when he got back from the boat. , really.

"New route? The place they delivered this time is a new place?" Charles thought to himself.

"Don't look, what's so interesting about this place, you guys go and lift the cargo to the deck, we'll be there soon."

Hearing the bosun's words, Cindy followed the other sailors to the lower deck of the cabin. In the lowest deck of the turtle shell cabin, Charles saw the goods, a group of terrified humans.

These human beings were crowded and unkempt in the cage, most of them were adults, and there were no old people or children. Obviously, this batch of goods must have been specially selected.

Although I don't know what the Foundation wants these outsiders to do, it is certain that their final outcome will not be a good thing.

Amid the exclamation of the human beings, a five-meter-long stick passed over the cage. Cindy squatted down and put the stick on his shoulders, and walked towards the hatch with another Hek carrying the cage.

There was a lot of "cargo" in the cargo hold, and several sailors had to carry it for half an hour before lifting it all. When they finished their work, their ship's destination finally arrived.

It is an island made of purple tree trunks. The dark purple tree trunks not only cover the sea surface, they also form a giant circular net to cover the entire island upside down. The sea forest that Charles and the others saw just now is obviously scattered here. .

There is no normal light on this forest island, only red dots that flicker on the net, and the hazy red light flickers on and off the whole island.

Charles had seen these red dots when he was on the surface. Most of them were located on the top of tall buildings as signal lights to prevent planes from directly hitting them.

The ship slowly docked, docked on the pier woven of black trunks. When docking, the crew instantly became nervous, even the previous bosun.

From Elizabeth's grandfather, Charles knew that the foundation did not explain the usefulness of these islands to the Hikers too much. Among the Hikers, the synonym of these islands was very mysterious and dangerous.

Under the watchful eyes of other crew members, a clergyman wearing colorful cloth strips slowly walked onto the pier and walked towards the inside along an alley.

This walk lasted for several hours, and when the others were waiting impatiently, the man came back, "The gods already know of our arrival, put the goods on the dock, and we can go back."

Everyone who heard this breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone present, including the captain, began to move "goods". They didn't want to stay here for a moment.

The people on a ship were quick to work, and after a while, all the "goods" were placed on the pier, and soon the vines on the ground began to move, rolling them down amidst the screams of human beings.

"Anchor! Let's go back!" Following the captain's order, everyone on the ship performed their duties.

But just as the huge turtle-shell boat left the pier, the chef's terrified shout shocked everyone on board, "Boss! It's bad! All our fresh water has been polluted by people!"

Fresh water is a very important substance on board. People will die of thirst if they don’t drink water for three days. The same is true for the tall Hikers. Of course, Charles instructed Cindy to do this. I thought it would not be so easy to go back, and I might not go back if the goal is not achieved.

On the deck under the turtle shell, the bald captain looked at the crew members in front of him uncertainly. He tried to find out who did it. He looked at the companions who had been with him day and night in front of him. He turned his eyes to the new sailors. Only these are new.

The captain glanced over Cindy's face and looked at the other sailors, "Garbage, don't think it's okay if you hide it in it, if you get in a hurry, I'll throw you all into the sea! I don't care about hurting innocent people! "

The sailors who heard this were terrified, and they scrambled to show their loyalty to the captain, saying that they were not traitors, and Cindy performed the hardest.

But the captain knew that the most important thing now was to find fresh water. Without fresh water, everyone would die regardless of whether the spy was killed or not.

He snorted coldly at the sailors, then turned and walked towards the clergyman, "Pastor, is there fresh water on God's island? Can you come forward and ask them for some?"

The man looked embarrassed, but he finally nodded, "Okay, I'll ask, you can go with me."

The captain nodded and was about to leave, looking at the sailors beside him, "Wait, take them along."

Having said this, he suddenly turned his head to look at the other crew members. "No, everyone come together."

He was afraid that there would be more than one enemy among them. It would be interesting if he came back after asking for fresh water and found that the boat was gone.

The crew all dismounted from the captain, followed the priest anxiously, and walked towards the depths of the purple vines on the island.

The road is easy to walk, but the further you go in, the breathing of everyone becomes quieter, as if they are afraid of making noise.

Finally they stopped before a wall of plants, and the priest bent down and lifted a purple leaf with his hands.

Behind the leaves is a small white flower, which is pure white like a lotus. It was very beautiful, and suddenly the white flower moved, its branches moved back quickly, and the flower buds opened and directly stuck to the priest's right eye.

This sudden change shocked everyone, but the priest was not surprised at all.

When the flower was taken back, the pure white quickly faded and turned into a sky-like blue.

The pastor said to the flower in a respectful voice, "My lord, the fresh water on our boat has been polluted by humans, can you give me some from the island?"
