Before long, these invisible creatures were easily dealt with by Charles and others.
"Besides this invisible monster, is there anything else in there?" After observing for so long, Charles clearly saw that there were many living things in the forest. This forest was full of vitality.
"Well, there are some other things in there, but as long as we don't go in, they won't come out. The forest has been explored, and there's nothing useful."
Charles looked at the sloping forest next to him, his heart full of vigilance. In this situation, it is safer to stay away from it as much as possible.
As the other ships also dealt with the invisible monsters, Charles ordered them to move left and away from the forest.
Although the forest was far away, there were other troubles in the darkness.
Suddenly, without any warning, an airship tilted, and several sailors on the deck who failed to hold on to the edge of the boat fell downwards with screams.
Other exploratory airships came close to rescue, including, of course, Charles's Narwhal.
"Audric, take your men to see what's going on!"
The two bats circled around the still tilted airship and quickly flew back. "Captain! There's something on the bottom of the ship. It looks like a swarm of insects."
As the Narwhal turned to the bottom of the ship, Charles saw the densely packed black carpet that looked like flies.
It was a black beetle as big as a human head. The flapping of its wings made a buzzing sound like a fly. It was the combined force of their movement that lifted the entire exploration ship up.
Because their color is also black, which is a perfect camouflage in the darkness, they were completely invisible before.
"The sky is indeed much more lively than down there." Charles stared at the dark bottom of the ship and his heart sank.
Several meter long tentacles with white arcs of electricity stretched out from the bottom of the ship, interweaving with each other to form a giant lightning net.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!" The white light of welding instantly drove back the darkness.
When the strong light disappeared, the airship had returned to normal, and the charred fragments of the insect corpses slowly fell like snowflakes.
This move of Charles shocked the hearts of other people on the exploration ship. Some people felt that such powerful strength could be compared with Julio.
As the only governor still exploring, his strength should not be underestimated. The other crew members looked at Charles with awe in addition to respect.
"Don't just stand there, keep ascending!" Hearing Charles' words, the flames coming out of the chimney heated the air in the regulating airbag, and the buoyancy drove the airship to continue to rise.
Although there were some minor problems along the way, they were all solved by Charles and his team.
After another six hours of hard work, they successfully arrived at the third floating island. Compared with the previous two islands, this island had a strange shape.
If the other islands are eggs broken into the ground, then this island is an unbroken egg, an upright oval.
It is black and gray in color, and looks like a rotten and moldy apple. There seems to be a layer of mold on it, making it difficult to see what is inside.
The other end of the sloping forest is connected to the bottom of the island.
The crew of the Narwhal looked at Charles at the same time, waiting for his orders.
Recalling the ending of the previous exploration team, Charles shook his head slightly. "Let them explore while we observe from the side. If there is anything abnormal, we can have an early warning."
After confirming with each other with flag signals, the four ships knew each other's mission. From Captain Locke's "The Rider", a small airship carrying a sailor flew towards the island.
This was Locke's bait, and he seemed to think the same as Charles.
Finally he even landed on the island and returned safely.
This is very strange, the island in front of me doesn't look like a death island that has swallowed up many lives.
"Swoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" The three of them flew directly towards the huge floating island on their hang gliders.
"Captain, I dare say that these three people must have been selected by lottery as a suicide squad." Second mate Nico leaned on the edge of the boat with his elbows, looking at the scene in front of him curiously, with an expression as if he was watching a drama.
Charles held a telescope and stared at them as they fell on the white "mold".
These people have flat heads and are immune to most mental control, so if the natives on this island really have such enemies, it should not work on them.
Half an hour later, a dark, thick smoke swayed and rose from the island. That was the signal.
The airship quickly moved towards the island and picked them all up. In addition to the three people before, there was another person next to them.
The white space suit and Feuerbach's face clearly indicated this person's identity as a Foundation member.
This is an important clue, Charles cannot give up easily. He quickly turned into a bat and glided towards the airship over there.
Ignoring Captain Locke who was coming towards him, Charles rushed forward first, thrust his steel prosthesis directly into Feuerbach's mouth, and pulled out the fangs hidden in his back molars.
"Pa pa" Charles stretched out his hand and slapped him twice on the face. "Where is your headquarters now? Why don't you have any contact with the humans in Earthsea?"
Feuerbach, with blood on the corner of his mouth, raised his head and looked at Charles coldly, then raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a mocking smile. "I don't know."
Charles became annoyed and stretched out his iron fingers to pinch the other person's little finger joint. He exerted force and twisted it instantly, and his finger was twisted off.
"I don't have time to waste! What's up there? Did you fall from there or something? What on earth happened to you?"
Faced with such great pain, Feuerbach did not feel any sadness. Instead, he closed his eyes and smiled, as if he was enjoying the pain.
Just when Charles was considering asking Anna to come over and directly extract this guy's memory, Captain Locke, who had been watching nearby, spoke.
"Governor Charles, there is someone in my crew who knows hypnosis. He can help you get the answer from his mind."
A bearded man wearing a red turban next to him took off his turban and pulled out a crystal ball from the pit on his head.
Charles nodded and took a half step back.
A handful of powder was sprinkled directly onto Feuerbach's face. The bearded man placed the crystal ball in front of him and muttered something.
At first Feuerbach continued to sneer, but gradually, his eyes became dull.
Seeing the bearded man making a gesture of invitation to him, Charles took another step forward.
"Who are you?"
"I am in all things. I am me, I am you, and I am him."
