Chapter 623: Drowning
In the end, Anna and Charles broke up after discussing regret. Obviously neither side convinced the other.
Although strictly speaking, both parties come from one consciousness and still love each other, as long as they are independent individuals, there will always be disputes.
Charles sent a telegram to Anna that New Territories City could prepare in advance, but not for him, but for human beings.
If the search for the dark plan really fails, then New Territories City can serve as the last seed of mankind.
But he didn't take this kind of thing too seriously. Anna can handle these things well, and now he has more important things to do.
On the Gobi Desert outside the site, the white electric arc followed Charles' tentacles and swayed left and right on the ground like seaweed.
With Charles's heart moving, more than a dozen intertwined tentacles were pulled out of the ground in an instant, and they slammed hard against the ground.
With a sound of "stab", the tentacle instantly made a long scorched black mark more than ten meters long on the ground.
As the arc disappeared into the air, Lily's golden hair stood on end one by one.
After strengthening his ability, Charles' arc ability has also been improved. This power obviously does not come from his body, but he can easily drive this power.
Other abilities are fine, but in terms of transforming into a bat, there has been some kind of change that Charles can't describe.
Black hair grew from Charles' body again, and he turned into a bat monster again, but compared with before, the current bat monster is even more deformed and weird.
In addition to the membranous wings he should have, there is a chicken claw-like wing drooping on the left side of his body.
The already terrifying face was almost split in two, with two huge cysts growing on it, and the back was also bent into an L shape, and the bowed waist was even more ugly.
Fortunately, these changes did not affect the flight, and even strengthened part of Charles' power.
First of all, his size. Even now that he is arched, his height is close to six meters, almost a colossus.
Charles opened his bleeding mouth with an ulcer, and a strong sound wave resounded all around, and the flat ground of the Gobi was instantly cracked.
Charles underestimated his own strength. According to Earthsea's standards, he now has at least thirteenth-level strength.
Seeing that Charles' body shrunk rapidly and reverted to a human shape, Lily next to him ran over excitedly. "Mr. Charles, Mr. Bandage asked me to tell you that everything is ready and we can set sail immediately."
Charles stretched out his hand to hold Lily in the palm of his hand, and used his fingers to pull away her golden hair, inspecting the flesh inside.
The previous wound has completely healed, not even the slightest scar left.
"Let's go, let's go back." Charles led Lily towards the expanded site.
Compared with before they came, a towering telegraph tower has been erected in the center of the site now.
Just after walking past the Telegraph Tower, Charles came to the side of the Exploration Society, which was already overcrowded.
They were surrounding the sign and looking at it, exclamations and discussions continued, and the voices of the crowd reached Charles' ears.
"My goddess, I hope that the island has the ability to fuse relics into the body and control them. No wonder they develop so fast."
"Yes, yes, I hope the good things on the island must have something to do with this thing."
"Look here, starting at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, explorers can accept the relic fusion for free, and the risk must be borne by themselves. After continuous improvement, the fusion mortality rate is now 7%. These people are really good enough, and the good things are saved until the end. come out."
"Do you think they treat you well? That's because the higher-ups want you to be cannon fodder. That place in the sky must be very dangerous."
"Governor Charles also participated in the exploration mission. He also discovered the dark coordinates. As the overlord of the North Sea, he also went to explore. He is also cannon fodder?"
Listening to their argument, Charles walked through the Explorers' Association and saw another long dragon, which was the territory of the Hiker tribe.
The swollen Shar-Pei old dog was suspended in the air, and a huge suction cup spit out from its mouth, sucked the wriggling flesh and blood in the glass bottle, and quickly poured it into the explorer's body.
Pai Bo and the others plan to inject it by themselves to eliminate all possibilities of being taken away by others. This ability can only be used to strengthen explorers, and they don't know who they are guarding against.
For explorers, the biggest improvement is the technology of Hope Island and Misty Sea. One can fuse the ability of the relic, and the other can enhance the ability after fusion.
Other than that, the others didn’t come in handy. Julio’s powerful ability could not be replicated. As for the magic in the West Sea, Charles and the others didn’t release it. Magic must not be used on the surface. This is an iron law.
But those mages were not idle, and learned through telegrams that Julio brought his Armada and the magic ship in the Western Sea Region to find trouble with the Fortan Cult.
Now is not a good time to start a war, which will make the following days even more difficult, but Julio did it anyway.
Charles is keenly aware that the opponent's decision is not made casually, they are using war to divert conflicts on the island, and it is clear that the situation in Dihai is very pessimistic.
The site is not big, and after a while, Charles found his Narwhal in the middle of a bunch of airships.
Two black-brown huge streamlined airbags were hung above the Narwhal, and the ship's propeller was specially lengthened to become a thruster.
The hanging rope rolled up Charles' waist and slowly lifted him up.
"Everyone...all together...the sea trial is over...the new ship is all normal...during the refit, I have been...staring."
Charles stretched out and patted him on the shoulder. "Thank you, where is the thing that Paibo said can isolate the relics? I'll go and see."
There is more greenery in the cabin, green vines spread along the corners, and there are more creepers on the walls.
"My new ability...can be used...to detect..." Apparently the bandages also accepted Paibo's ability.
In the sweltering turbine cabin, Charles saw something stuck to the outer wall of the hot turbine.
It looked like rotten flesh with a giant orange blister in the center.
As soon as Charles walked over, seven or eight eye stalks stuck to the outer wall of the blister in an instant, staring at Charles firmly. The thing is alive, and it's clearly conscious of itself.
"Did they say how to use this thing?" Charles reached out and touched the washbasin-sized blisters in the rotten meat.
"Right now...is on...it lives on heat..."
"Although it's a bit weird, it's fine if it's useful. Let Orderick keep an eye on it later. There can't be any mistakes when exploring this thing."
"The captain... through the telegram... I communicated with my mother..." Bandage suddenly changed the topic.
"Oh, how is your family, is there anything wrong?"
"The doctor's tomb... was flooded by sea water..."
Hearing this, Charles trembled slightly in his heart.
He was silent for a long time, and finally turned away from the turbine cabin, his eyes hardened. "Let's go, set sail."
