"Hmm~!!" Charles, with a distorted expression, gritted his teeth and pulled with all his strength.
Charles casually threw the steel prosthesis with flesh and blood stuck to it to the ground.
"Captain, why do you have to take off even the prosthetic limbs? So much time has passed, there shouldn't be any problem now."
The naked Dipper looked at the mechanical feet in front of him in distress. Without legs, he could only kneel on the ground.
Charles shook his head slightly. "No, no one knows what kind of relics our prostheses will become, and what the side effects will be. It's too risky to let these things stay on us. Apart from the relics we have, everything else has to be thrown away."
"Ugh!!" The crew member next to him pressed his fingers into his throat and vomited out what he had just eaten.
Since everything became a relic, the food they had eaten before could not be preserved either.
At this time, the crew members were all naked, even the bandages on their bodies were removed, and they were frank with each other.
Linda, the only woman, had a very calm expression on her face, without any shyness at all.
Instead, Lily stood on Charles' shoulder, shyly covering her eyes with her little paws, and occasionally peeking through the gaps between her paws.
"Captain, what should we do next? Without food or medicine, the exploration cannot continue." Nico's eyes looked around.
"I know. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll go down now." Charles opened the diary on the ground with one hand and checked the information on it.
Although I don't know what relic my diary has become, judging from the previous communication, it is very likely related to the prophecy. The various diaries that appear in it are all things that may happen after the next day.
Unfortunately, this time, there was no new diary on it. It was still the same page, the diary left by Charles after his death.
He looked up at his crew, all of whom were staring at him, awaiting the next order.
"Let's go back." Charles decided not to wait any longer. He didn't take action before because he couldn't figure out who was writing in the diary.
Now that we have figured it out, it is because the diary has become a relic. Since it is just a relic, there is nothing to worry about. The fear of the unknown is always the most terrifying.
"But Mr. Charles, the diary says that you will die." Lily seemed a little worried.
"It's okay. A day has passed. If the prophecy in the diary is true, I should be dead by now."
"Linda, use your stomach acid to corrode a hole in the rock. We'll put all the relics and prosthetic limbs in there and hide them."
It is impossible to bring back so many strange relics. They have not been identified and God knows what their side effects are.
The safest way now is to wait until we have come up with a plan and then find a way to bring these things back.
"Puff!" As Linda vomited hard, green gastric juice sprayed onto a huge rock, quickly corroding a hole.
After everyone's belongings were put in, they were finally sealed with vines growing out of the bandage.
Charles' body quickly deformed into a giant bat. Except for two vampires who could fly, the others quickly climbed onto his broad back.
The muscles in Charles' legs instantly exerted force and he flew straight into the air.
Preparing to retreat, Charles did not dare to be careless, for fear that something might go wrong at the last moment. He opened his mouth and silent sound waves spread in all directions, alertly guarding against any possible enemies.
Just as he was about to fold his wings and prepare to descend, the dark sky suddenly lit up, and a huge arc of light similar to moonlight fell from the sky and struck towards him.
The moment Charles looked at the thing, the hairs on his body almost stood up. This was what the diary said. This was the thing that killed him!
Without any thought, Charles began to flap his wings frantically, and finally dodged the arc of light when it hit him.
Although it did not hit Charles, the moonlight-white arc of light did not disappear, but cut along the side of the floating island.
As everyone watched in shock, a small piece of the island's edge was cut off like a cake and slowly fell to the ground.
"Captain! Look up at the sky! What on earth is that?!" Odric said in astonishment, looking up.
Charles also looked up quickly. He saw a hideous worm that was more than ten meters long and twisted into a pretzel shape, fifty meters above him, falling towards him.
Its body is divided into two colors, half of it is black and the other half is transparent, the color is a bit like a mixture of glass and obsidian. The two colors are entangled with each other.
The previous arc of light was obviously not caused by this worm. It looked badly injured, and its strange body was full of cracks. Looking at this strange worm, Charles felt inexplicably familiar with it.
But the next second he immediately realized that now was not the time to think about this, he must leave this dangerous place immediately.
Charles flapped his wings quickly and began to dive downwards. Suddenly, a sudden man's voice sounded in Charles' ears.
"Don't move! Hide! It will see you!!"
The next second, Charles felt a creepy gaze coming from the darkness above. His whole body began to go numb and he began to lose consciousness.
Charles looked up with difficulty, and in the boundless darkness, he saw a pair of evil eyes with three round, fish-like eyes and bright pink light distributed in a triangle.
At this critical moment, the strange worm that had just fallen suddenly appeared beside Charles.
Its slippery-looking body turned quickly and instantly entangled Charles and others.
The worm spun Charles back to the ground, its sharp and ferocious mouthparts spinning rapidly, easily spinning a large hole in the rock and drilling directly into it.
That special feeling of gaze disappeared, and the three eyes in the darkness gradually dissipated.
Charles did not move and signaled the crew members not to move. He silently watched the squirming movements in front of him.
"Don't move, he hasn't left yet, he's still waiting for us to show up." The same voice just now appeared in Charles' ears again.
Based on the previous connection, it is not difficult to guess that the voice in Charles' mind was made by a worm.
Charles calmly looked at the huge and terrifying worm head in front of him. "Anna told you the news via telegram? You came so quickly. Apart from the god just now, what else did you find?"
After the worm's long, slithering body twisted slightly, the voice appeared in Charles' mind again, "Do you know me?"
"A few years ago, I went to the Broken Heart Island in the Misty Sea for some business. I saw the Haik tribe selling your statue. If I remember correctly, you are their main god, Piper, right?"
