Chapter 82 The Nose Natives
Hearing what Charles said, the other crew members looked around their companions and found that the guy covered in bandages had really disappeared.
There was a trace of panic on everyone's face. His companion just disappeared for no reason?
"When was the last time everyone saw bandages?" Charles asked the crew, suppressing the anxiety in his heart.
"Me." The hesitant James raised his hand. 5 minutes ago, the first officer was right in front of me. "
"No, I didn't seem to have seen him more than ten minutes ago." Lily poked her head out.
The crew's statements were not uniform, but it can be roughly judged that the bandages disappeared within the past ten minutes.
Looking at the fog surrounding him, Charles frowned slightly and turned his head to look at Orderrick, "You turn into a bat and look along the arrows I carved to see if the bandages got lost somewhere else."
Orderic nodded, stretched out his cloak, turned into a bat and flew out. Bats can use sound waves to find the way, and this kind of fog can't hinder his search.
Soon, the vampire came back, and seeing him shake himself in disappointment, Charles knew that the disappearance of the bandage must have something to do with the island.
Charles leaned his back against the wall and frowned, thinking about countermeasures.
Charles hates this kind of situation more than a terrifying and hideous monster. The former at least has room to fight back, while the latter, no matter how powerful you are, you can't even find a way to deal with it.
"Boom!!" At this moment, there was a loud noise in the mist, which shocked everyone. Charles opened a mirror box in an instant, and the light pierced through the fog again, but there was nothing where the sound sounded. .
Immediately afterwards, the thick fog around him began to thin, and Charles felt that something bad was happening to this place.
Under everyone's gaze, he spoke slowly. "Let's get out of here first."
Frey beside him suddenly became anxious, "Captain! But the first mate hasn't been found yet!"
"Do as I say, go out first and then talk," Charles said, and moved first.
Although it would be a pity for the bandages to do so, he is the captain and must consider the safety of other crew members. This is his job as captain.
If one can disappear, the second can disappear. Before knowing what caused the bandage to disappear, it is not a rational choice to stay here. He cannot risk the lives of other people for the sake of one crew member.
And as a bandage who is a follower of Ftan God and has strong resilience, it should not be so easy to die, so try to rescue him after you get out.
Following the captain's order, everyone began to quickly run towards the way they came along the arrow signs on the maze wall.
The thick fog was broken by the fire, and there was no sound except for the sound of muddy water being waddled away.
But when the crowd put on the second torch, Charles' face was a bit ugly. After running for so long, he should have reached the exit of the maze. Why hasn't he arrived yet?
"Wait." Charles called to stop the crew, carefully identifying the arrow on the wall.
After careful inspection, Charles found that there were hidden marks he deliberately left in the arrow. The arrow was drawn by him and was not tampered with by others.
The marker is there but he just can't get out, Charles is very puzzled, what is going on in this maze, can it be impossible to move?
However, before Charles came in, he considered this situation. He cut his fingertips with a black blade, and quickly wiped it on the bat mirror. Black hair grew on his face, and meat membranes began to grow rapidly under his armpits.
Charles said to the crew with his gradually ferocious head: "Stand still, I will come back and pick you up after I find the entrance."
No matter how confusing the maze is, it is only a plane at best. As long as you fly from above with the crew, you can find the way out directly.
A few seconds later, his body had completely transformed, and the gust of wind blown by the bat wings made waves in the muddy water, and Charles kicked his feet straight into the sky.
The huge bat opened its ferocious mouth, and the ultrasonic waves, which cannot be heard by human ears, spread out and bounced back after colliding with objects. Everything around him became clear in his mind.
Even after seeing it once, he was still very shocked when the structure of the giant maze took shape in his mind. All kinds of intricate fork intersections make people dazzled.
Charles ignored those forked intersections and flew straight up.
With the rapid flapping of the wings, Charles discovered something was wrong. No matter how high he rose, the wall next to him also followed him.
Three minutes later, Charles hovered in mid-air and sent down a sound wave, but he didn't wait for the rebound wave, and now he was at least a thousand meters away from the ground.
This is obviously illogical. Charles remembers the appearance of this island, even if it was covered by fog before, he can still judge that the island is not that high.
Seeing that there was no result if he flew down again, Charles landed decisively.
"Captain, how are you?" Dipper asked eagerly to Charles who was drinking a blood bag.
"No, I flew thousands of meters, and the wall is also rising."
Hearing the captain's answer, every crew member's face was ugly, and they couldn't get out along the arrow, and the top was more than a thousand meters high, which meant that everyone was trapped here.
"Don't panic, we have other ways." Charles took out an explosive from James' backpack.
"Boom!!" The rubble splashed everywhere, and a big hole was blown out of the wall of the maze in an instant, and the mist on the other side could be seen by the light of the fire.
Since you can't go around, just blow it out. No matter what kind of maze, going straight is always the closest.
The sound of explosions continued, and everyone moved quickly along the holes.
Originally, Charles thought that he would be able to return to the swamp soon, but things did not go as he imagined. When they drilled out of a hole again, there was a sound of water dripping on the surface of the water in the distance.
Soon there were more and more ticking sounds, and the sound was like rain. Charles looked vigilantly in the direction of the sound, and gradually, he saw a group of strange creatures walking towards this side.
These creatures look a bit like upside-down hairless mice. Every organ on their body is extremely slender and deformed. The elephant-like nose is bent and lit on the water. They walk with their noses, and the ticking sound just now is on them The sound of his nose tapping on the water.
There are a large number of these nose-walking monsters with a height of nearly one meter, standing densely on the black muddy water, like corn stalks in a crop field. Anyone who encounters such things in this kind of place will feel uneasy.
Dipper pulled out the black blade-like dagger in his boots, swallowed hard and looked at his captain.
"Don't do it yet, let's see what they mean." Charles pressed the gun raised next to the crew.
