Looking at the red fishing line, everyone present widened their eyes.
If the disappearance of the old woman might have been due to some other accident, then this time the fishing line completely shattered everyone's fantasy. There must be danger on it, and it was a very deadly danger.
"How strong were those two people just now?" Charles, who was holding the fishing line, asked Hu En.
"Level 2, with the relics it can reach Level 3."
Charles recalled the moment when the fishing line trembled just now. The line went from being taut to being weak within two seconds. This meant that no matter what the opponent was, its strength was far above theirs. The two men were killed instantly without even a chance to fight back.
Compared to Charles with a frown on his face, the group of Illuminati believers nearby were in a panic, and their faith was slightly collapsing.
"Has the God of Light given up on us?"
"No wonder the legendary divine light that warms people's hearts can kill people. The God of Light has abandoned us! He doesn't want me to go to the Kingdom of God!"
"My Lord, are we not worthy to live in your kingdom of God?"
Just as the discussion was getting louder, an angry voice suddenly exploded in everyone's ears. "Enough!!"
That was the voice of Bishop Hu En. At this moment, he was furious, and his previous old look had disappeared. His white beard and hair were shaking in the air as if they had life.
He took the scepter handed over by the attendant next to him, looked at the believers around him and said in a loud voice: "We have been searching for so many years and finally found the land of light. Are we going to retreat just because of a little setback?"
It has to be said that Bishop Huen had a strong aura, and the panic among the believers was instantly curbed.
"My fellow countrymen! Where is your devotion to the God of Light? What is the purpose of your daily prayers? Even if the God of Light really hates us, as devout believers, we must do everything we can to rush before Him and beg for His forgiveness!"
Looking at the determined look in Huon's eyes, Charles couldn't help but wonder, what would happen if they really saw the sun
I guess the more determined you are now, the more desperate you will be later
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Charles walked up to Hu En and said, "If we go up like this, no matter how many people we send, it will be useless. Do you have any other ideas?"
Hu En stroked his silver-white beard and said confidently, "Don't worry, Governor Charles. This little difficulty is not a problem at all. Holy Warriors, go and move the Ascendant."
A group of tall guys walked out of the crowd and ran towards the huge golden ship on the shore.
Soon, Charles saw what the so-called war horn was.
It was a small boat about the same size as the Mouse, about thirty meters long.
They look very much like cargo ships, but are obviously much lighter, so light that hundreds of people can carry them ashore.
The straw hut that had been built with great difficulty was crushed into a mess by the ship.
Looking at the boat on the ground in front of him, Charles did not ask any questions. He knew that Huon would definitely not move an ordinary cargo ship ashore for no reason.
Soon, a large ball of white leather resembling a deflated balloon was thrown from the deck to the ground, and some believers of the Church of Light stepped forward.
He first swallowed something quickly, then quickly cut a small wound in the air sac and vomited continuously into it.
The sour smell of stomach acid was very unpleasant, but when Charles saw the air bag expanding rapidly, he knew their plan. This so-called Ascension Station was a floating airship.
As the airship began to stagger and float, Hu En quickly selected more than twenty members to board.
They are of different heights and genders, the only thing they have in common is the white triangle on their foreheads. The leader is a strong woman.
Hu En held the scepter and tapped their foreheads one by one. "Remember, fellow countrymen, the information about what happened up there is more important than your lives. You must bring the news down even if you die."
"Swish!" They put their hands on their foreheads and bowed their heads in unison. "As you command, Bishop!"
Under the silent gaze of thousands of people, they put on their black leather suits and began to line up to board the ship.
Seeing the people below about to cut the ropes that tied up the airship, Charles suddenly raised his hand. "Wait, I'll go too this time."
Charles' voice stunned everyone. Knowing that it was very dangerous up there, he still wanted to go up. Is this guy crazy
The first to object were definitely the crew of the Narwhal.
"Mr. Charles, this won't work. It's too dangerous up there."
"Captain, how about I go in your place? If something really happens to you, what will we do with this island?"
Everyone's face was filled with anxiety. They really didn't want Charles to take risks. Only the drunk doctor didn't try to persuade him. He knew it was useless for him to persuade him.
"First mate, second mate, keep an eye on the bottom for me and wait for me to come back." Charles said, and he kicked the airship with his feet and jumped directly onto the deck of the Ascension.
Charles wanted to see with his own eyes what was going on up there; waiting down there was too much to bear.
And whether it's the Foundation's defense mechanism or any danger on the surface, the modern insights in my mind may be of help.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the airship drifted towards the gap in the sky where the blinding light was coming from.
As the altitude increased, the sunlight became brighter and brighter, and even Charles felt it was very dazzling even with the sunglasses he had prepared.
The glare was not a big deal, the most important thing was that Charles felt the temperature was rising.
If we hope that the temperature on the island will be just 25 degrees, neither too hot nor too cold, then now it has started to climb towards 40 degrees.
Sweat began to trickle down his face, and Charles felt a little anxious.
If it's this hot here, how high is the surface temperature
If Charles had had any illusions about the polar hypothesis before, he had now completely abandoned them.
It is absolutely impossible for the North and South Poles to be this hot. Something must have happened on the surface.
When the airship was only a dozen meters away from the gap, Charles noticed something at the top in the distance.
He squinted his eyes and looked hard, only to find that it was actually half a corpse. The old woman's body was embedded in the rock of the dome. The black rubber had been completely torn apart, and the whole body was tattered like a discarded rag doll.
Not only Charles saw it, but the Illuminati believers on the deck also saw it. Everyone held their weapons or relics tightly in their hands and stood alert.
Just as the airship was about to enter the gap, a black shadow flashed out from the dome next to it.
The next second, the entire airboat shook violently, and the airbag above made a hissing sound of leaking air.
