Led by this somewhat weird old man, Charles and others walked towards the intricate maze intersection in the distance.
Just as Charles and others left, a stick figure of a man wrapped in bandages slowly appeared on the wall, and he stretched out his hand to stop something.
Although Blake had no eyes, he seemed to be able to find his way in some other way. He walked very quickly with his neck bent and his waist hunched.
"Mr. Charles, this grandpa is so pitiful. Let's give him some biscuits." Lily said beside Charles' ear.
Charles shook his head and rejected the request. It was not a good idea to expose the food rashly when the other party's background was unclear.
The mud and water drifted away, and everyone walked forward in silence. After walking for about half an hour, a human gathering place hanging on the wall appeared in front of Charles.
In order to stay away from the dirty mud and water, they chiseled out large and small holes in the rock wall, and dozens of humans sat in the holes to rest or chat.
They looked basically as skinny as Blake who led the way, and each of them had a layer of white mist over their eyes.
But when Charles saw the various skeletons hanging on the wall, his heart sank. There were human bones among them, and there were quite a few of them.
After a quick scan of the gathering area, Charles found no trace of the bandages.
Hearing people's discussions, Blake excitedly moved closer to the crowd.
When he touched the wall, a sinister smile appeared on his face towards Charles.
"Boss! Look! I brought you some new ones, and I just heard a woman's voice saying they have cookies."
Hearing this man's words, a human on the highest level of the wall stood up, not caring about the height difference of more than ten meters, and jumped directly from the hole into the muddy water.
His face with a hideous scar on it looked extremely excited. "Woman? Finally another woman is here? Haha!! I will definitely cherish her this time!"
Brian came closer with a flattering smile on his face. "Boss, now that you're done playing this time, can you let me play with you?"
Seeing those blind guys quickly surrounding this side, Charles raised his revolver and fired a shot at the top of his head to warn them that he had a weapon in his hand.
After the gunshot, the scarred man was stunned for a moment, but he didn't show any panic and instead laughed out loud. "Hahaha, interesting, it seems the new guy has a gun in his hand, I'm so scared~! Hahaha!"
Hearing the malice in his words, Charles didn't bother to talk to him. He raised his revolver and shot the scarred man who was leading the group.
Seeing the captain attack, the crew also quickly attacked.
Who would have thought that at the moment the gunshot rang out, all the people in front of him quickly jumped into the water and quickly disappeared in the muddy water.
The bullet hit the water, but apart from splashing some mud and water, no blood flew out.
When the gunfire stopped and the water returned to calm, those people had disappeared. This place was their home ground.
"Be careful with the water—" Charles hadn't finished his warning when the water surface in front of him broke open and several sharp nails mixed with smelly mud instantly extended in front of his neck.
Charles rolled backwards and narrowly avoided the attack. He used his revolver in his right hand and fired several shots at the enemy in front of him. Spots of blood bloomed on his naked chest.
Suddenly, a crisis appeared behind Charles. The scarred man appeared behind Charles without him noticing. With a sinister smile on his face, he stabbed Charles' back with his sharp nails.
At this critical moment, a big hand came from the side and directly knocked the scarred man away. It was James's hand.
Charles quickly stood still, kicked the giant James' knees, and jumped onto his shoulders.
He didn't dare to delay and fired the revolver in his hand repeatedly, keeping the person who rushed out of the water on the surface.
At first, the unexpected attack from those underwater guys caused the crew to be confused for a while, but they quickly stabilized and began to fight back.
After all, we are all human beings and no one is afraid of anyone else.
James swung his hand and slapped the man away as quickly as if he was swatting a fly.
Lily's mouse dived quickly, and scarlet blood floated up.
Dipper's dagger quickly cut their throats.
What surprised Charles a little was that the second mate, Knona, was holding a blue candle in his hand and muttering something, and two paper men who appeared out of nowhere were standing on the water to protect him.
As the black mud turned red with blood and flesh, the fierce battle scene gradually quieted down.
Charles glanced at the number of corpses on the water and knew that the matter was not over yet. There were only a dozen corpses in total, which was a huge difference from the previous seventy or eighty.
"Your shooting is quite accurate, but that's all." The voice of the scarred man suddenly came from the left.
Charles quickly moved the muzzle of his gun and shot in that direction. The bullet hit the water surface and disappeared without a trace.
Then, the scarred man's voice reappeared on the right. "It's a pity that this is it. You probably can't even reach the second level. You can't fight me at all. Hurry and hand over the women and food. I can consider letting you join us."
Seeing that the bullets were useless, Charles stopped firing. He asked cautiously, "Second order? What is that?"
"Hahaha, it seems that you are not only new here, but also new outside. You don't even know the level division of strength."
Hearing this, some fragments of what he had seen in the library flashed through Charles' mind, and he immediately remembered that this guy was talking about the levels among the combat members of the warship.
The governors did not live in peace with each other. When they fought against each other, these people were used.
From this point, it can be judged that this guy should have been a combat member on the warship when he was outside.
"I'm the captain of the exploration ship. I don't care about what you guys on the warship do."
After Charles finished speaking, he waved his hand towards this side, and then took out a lightning wand from his clothes.
When the crew of the Narwhal saw this, they were all horrified and quickly moved towards the giant James. The last experience was still vivid in their minds and they would never forget it.
"Exploration ship? Humph, only those rubbish who can't even get on a warship would drive a broken ship to the island to die foolishly."
"Really? Then why are you, such a powerful being, trapped in this place?"
"Stop being so stubborn. I'll catch you and kill you."
Now! Charles quickly stretched out the short staff in his hand, and a bright arc of electricity instantly hit the direction of the sound.
