Just when West almost thought he was going to die here, Odrick in the fuel tank sniffed his nose and said, "Captain, there is a fishy smell. Something is approaching."
Suddenly, the vampire sailor moved. He rushed to the door quickly, raised his extremely sharp claws, and tore hard at the left side of West's head.
The foul-smelling dark purple blood sprayed directly onto West's face.
At the same time, something in West's clothes was pulled out. Drops of blood appeared out of thin air on the ground and ran towards the depths of the corridor.
"I smell it! The smell of blood!" Odric showed his two fangs and rushed forward.
Charles walked past West and ran after his crew.
At this moment, West's face turned pale with fear, and his legs couldn't stop shaking. The moment something he didn't know reached into his clothes, he almost thought he was going to die.
Soon he saw the Governor coming back, with a few drops of blood dripping from his face. "I have dealt with those two creatures that could turn invisible just now. The crisis is over now. Sailors, clean up the cabin, and everyone else return to their posts."
Charles' words instantly made the depressing atmosphere disappear, and the crew members relaxed instantly. They put all kinds of weapons on their shoulders, talked and laughed and left, as if they were the ones fighting for life and death with those ghosts.
But as a newcomer, West obviously didn't have the ability to adapt. He had never felt so close to death. His hands were still shaking while he was eating that day.
He regretted his decision very much. He hadn't even made a few trips on the cargo ship, so why did he go crazy and explore the ship to seek death? No matter how much money the Governor gave him, he had to live to spend it.
"Duo~" A large spoonful of apple flesh with mucus was placed on the plate in front of West.
"Are you scared? It's okay. You'll get used to it after seeing it a few times." The speaker was a smiling fat man, the chef of his ship, the Narwhal.
"Aren't you afraid? That thing can actually become invisible."
"What is there to be afraid of? Working in this line of work means risking your life, and our Governor's exploration ship is very good, so basically no one died." The chef said proudly.
Looking at the captain swallowing food with an expressionless face in the distance, West's panic calmed down a little.
That's right, it's better to be on Lord Charles' ship than on any other ship, at least in terms of salary. He had never heard of such a generous reward. He earned more by following the Governor than any other captain before.
Since we're all going to work hard when we go out to sea, why not try something bigger
"When I have money, I will bring my mother and my brothers and sisters to Hope Island. Then I will save more money and reopen my father's jewelry store."
When he thought of his family's bright future, he couldn't help but smile.
And Charles was not as calm as he appeared.
This was the third time this had happened, but the first two times those things were driven away by the Narwhal using a rope, and he did not tell the crew.
He had also traveled to other unknown seas, but in other places, the things in the water did not attack with such a high frequency.
He didn't know whether this was a coincidence or this sea area was simply different from other places.
If there really are more strange things in the water the further we go, then by the time we reach the main island of the foundation, the entire ship will probably be submerged by those things.
Charles decided that as long as two of them appeared in one day, he would withdraw and think of another way.
At this moment, Lily, who was standing next to him, held a yellow fruit as long as a thumb and handed it to Charles, yelling at him to open it.
The map shows that the location of the Foundation's main island is further north than Hope Island.
According to Aaron, there must be survivors on the main island of the Foundation, and they have plans for various disasters.
Since they are still alive, why don't these guys from the Foundation interact with current humans and quickly improve their technological level
Or did they simply abandon this place and return to the surface
Charles doesn’t know what is happening on the main island now. He will only know what happened when he arrives there.
After having a full meal and a few drinks, Charles stood up and walked towards the deck. He wanted to continue patrolling the deck. He dared not let his guard down in this situation.
Time passed little by little. I don't know if it was because of Charles's patrol, but there were no more invasions.
But another trouble arose. Whenever Charles stood on the deck with his back to the sea, he always felt that something was spying on him in the darkness.
At first Charles thought that it was Dipper who followed him, but he immediately rejected this guess. This guy didn't seem like such a sneaky person.
When that feeling came again, Charles didn't look back. He took out a mirror and peeked behind him through the reflection.
Through the mirror, all he could see was the sea surface in the distance and the rippling waves.
"Am I overthinking?" Just as Charles was thinking this, he felt it again.
Charles, frowning slightly, walked quickly into the cabin. That feeling disappeared immediately.
Charles was a little nervous during the first two days, but when he realized that the feeling wasn’t dangerous at all, he simply put it out of his mind.
If the monsters in Earthsea are just for a quick look, then exploring in Earthsea would be easy.
In order to prevent panic, Charles followed the principle of not seeing, not hearing, and not telling anyone else about this matter.
Accompanied by this strange sight, the Narwhal slowly arrived at the coordinates of the so-called main island of the Foundation.
However, everyone on the ship was confused at this moment. In front of the Narwhal, there was only a pitch-black sea without any trace of an island.
Everyone turned their eyes to Charles again. He was the one who decided the target, and he was also the captain. In this situation, Charles had no choice but to make another choice.
Charles held his chin with his hand and looked at the dark sea in front of him with a frown.
"Is Aaron lying to me?" This thought appeared in his mind, but Charles rejected it immediately. Under such circumstances, he would never do such a boring thing.
What's more, from his last words, we can tell that he definitely has feelings for the Foundation.
"Audric, go look around again. See if we've gone astray or if there's an error in the coordinates."
The vampire nodded, turned into a bat and flew away.
