Chapter 83 Humans
These seem to be the natives of the island. Charles has checked from the library. Not all the natives of the wild island are malicious, and some can communicate and even be traded.
"We have no malicious intentions, can you let us out?" Charles said slowly in Earthsea language.
The nose-walking creature was motionless, as if it couldn't understand, standing in the distance like a dead thing.
Seeing the weird scene in front of him, Charles waved his hand back, telling the others to back off. Since you don't understand, then leave first.
"Tap..." As soon as Charles lifted his feet, all the nose-walking creatures jumped up with their noses twitching, their black claws protruding from the dry trunk.
"attack!!"
The gunshots instantly became one, and the nose-walking creatures were quickly shot and poured into the water under the hail of bullets. Their number seemed to be endless, and they rushed towards this side densely.
The surroundings were in a mess, and the muddy water on the ground was stained with the purple blood of the nose-walking creatures, but no matter how many dead or injured they were, they would not retreat.
Seeing these weird things getting closer, Charles simply took out the lightning-shaped scepter in his arms.
"Sting!!" A large electric arc swept over directly, and the nose-walking creatures twitched and fell into the water.
They died, and Charles and others also felt uncomfortable. The powerful electricity was guided to everyone along the underwater muddy water. Although they were far away, the crew members were still seriously injured, and everyone couldn't help but twitched.
Charles recovered first. He looked up and found that all the nose-walking creatures in front of him were floating on the water, and they were finally dead.
He leaned his back against the wall and panted heavily. Although the relic was powerful, the side effects were really uncomfortable.
No matter what these monsters are going to do, fortunately, the problem is temporarily solved.
"Take a break for three minutes and continue blasting the wall." Charles' deep voice echoed in the empty maze.
God knows if there are any companions for these things, they must leave this place as soon as possible.
At this moment, a pipe that was almost level with the water surface floated towards this side without a sound.
The underwater things didn't seem to want to disturb anyone, and they slowly moved towards the corpses of those nose-walking creatures, but in the eyes of Charles, who has night vision ability, he saw clearly, and raised his hand directly in the direction of the pipe. gun.
The tube sank quickly, and scarlet blood bubbled out from under the water. The pool of red blood quickly turned around and swam away into the distance.
No matter what it was, Charles couldn't let it escape. He raised his right foot from the muddy water and stepped hard on the wall. His whole body rose into the air, and with the black blade in his hand, he threw himself straight at the pool of blood.
With a sound of "噗呲", the black blade slammed into the underwater thing, and there was more red blood in the muddy water.
Charles pushed his wrist upwards and lifted it with the back of the knife, and the underwater thing was lifted up.
It was a person, a blind old man with the same white eyeballs. The wound on his naked body made his expression look very painful, but even so, he didn't have the slightest intention to make a sound, and grabbed Charles's hand with trembling hands. Push the handle outwards firmly.
Seeing that they were of the same kind, Charles did not attack again, turned his head and shouted in the direction of his companion: "Doctor, come and help him heal, don't let him die."
Everyone gathered around and looked at the old man in front of him curiously. No one thought that there were still people alive in such a place.
"Can you understand me?" Charles asked the old man who was being riveted by the doctor.
The old man seemed to be frightened, and quickly put his finger to his mouth, "Shh~!! Keep your voice down, you will hear the torment!"
Charles carefully looked at the appearance of this strange old man. He was very thin, very thin, as thin as a skeleton covered with a piece of human skin. He shrank his neck and looked timid, as if he was always ready to run away.
Richard's voice rang in his head. "Dude, do you think this guy looks like Gollum in The Lord of the Rings, the one who bit off the protagonist's finger in the finale."
"Be quiet."
At this moment, the doctor had cured the old man's trauma, and he limped to Charles.
"I just checked his body. He is right. Judging from his teeth, he is only in his forties. His body is severely malnourished, and his skin has signs of long-term soaking in water. He should have lived in such a bad place. For a long time."
Charles's heart moved. So, doesn't it mean that there are aborigines on this island?
"Do you know where the exit is?" Charles asked the most important question to the old man.
When the old man heard this question, his dirty face immediately beamed with joy. "Are you just here? Have you brought food from outside?"
Charles didn't want to waste time, so he put the black blade directly on his neck, threatening: "I ask you what you answer, understand?"
Sensing the killing intent in Charles' words, the old man stiffened and nodded quickly.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
"My name is Blake. I'm here because I heard the sound of you fighting with Stai. I came here to steal some of Stai's food. Don't worry, Stai belongs to you. I don't want any of it."
Charles glanced at the corpses of the snout monsters next to him, and it seemed that this thing was the Stey in its mouth.
"Where is the exit of this maze?"
"Without an exit, those who come in have never gone out."
"Anyone ever went out?"
"I don't know. Anyway, I've been here for more than 20 years, and I haven't seen anyone go out."
"What was the torture you were talking about earlier?"
"A monster, it is the most powerful monster here, and it can never be killed, as long as it catches us, it will get into our mouth, torture us in our stomach, and they scream with our pain For food."
"How big is this maze?"
"It's huge, no one has touched the border, at least it's bigger than the British Isles."
Hearing this, Charles frowned slightly. He had checked before approaching the island. It was obviously smaller than Coral Island. How could this maze be bigger than the British Isle? You must know that the British Isle is the largest island in the North Sea. The resident population is nearly 7 million.
Coupled with the thousands of meters of walls, Charles felt more and more that something was wrong with this maze.
Looking at the blind old man trembling in front of him, Charles didn't think he would lie to himself.
"How many trapped people like you are in here?"
"Thousands, no, there are tens of thousands. I don't know too well. Most of them were tortured and captured, and a small number escaped. There are more than 100 people in my residence."
"Did you see a man in bandages around here?" Charles asked about the information about his disappearing mate, maybe his disappearance was related to the humans here.
"Bandage...bandage? I can't see. I don't know what kind of bandage you are talking about, but half an hour ago, I seemed to hear something moving towards where I live."
Charles looked around in the emptiness, turned Blake around, and gave him a slight push. "Go, take me to see where you live."
