At this time, Charles thought more. Rats have always been the bottom of the ecological chain. With so many rats, there must be other predators on the island. He doesn't know what it is, at least it is definitely not a cat.
As Charles thought, the mice had already low tide, and there was not even a fish bone left on the yellow-white sand.
"The sailor dropped anchor, armed with explosives, ready to disembark." Charles gave an order, and the crew began to move.
For this exploration, he prepared more explosives, although gunpowder may not be useful, but it is better than nothing
If the danger on the island is only those rats, these explosives will definitely come in handy.
Two wooden boats were put on the sea. Except for the disabled bandages, which were left to see the boat, everyone else got off, with a cloth strap tied to their shoulders.
The name and job title of each crew member are written on it, and it has been ensured that when returning to the ship, there will be no more or less people silently.
The crowd slowly walked between the rocks. The old crew members who had had an experience were still calm, and the other newcomers were a little bit fluctuated in mood, and they were all startled by a little disturbance.
The rocks on the island became looser as they went in, and some animal bones began to appear on the ground.
A little disappointment appeared on Charles's face. At present, it seems that the passage to the surface should not be here.
Just as Charles hesitated whether to continue walking in, suddenly a red light floated between the distant rocks.
Charles shrank back towards the giant rock, and whispered to the others: "Hurry up and put out the fire!"
Although the other crew members did not know why, Shan still followed the captain's orders.
Without the light of the torch, the red in the distance became clearer and clearer, and the bright color appeared between the rocks from time to time, floating towards this side.
When it was close, everyone could see the true colors of the colors.
The whole creature resembles a swollen locust. Its length is five meters visually. The red light is projected from the light spot buried under its translucent skin. It flashes and disappears very frighteningly.
Although this locust does not have wings and wings, it can fly freely in the air. It seems to be looking for something. The six eye stalks growing at the front of the body are constantly twisting and looking around.
The human atmosphere shrank behind the rock did not dare to pant, some timid even closed their eyes and trembled.
Charles stared at him and stared at those eye stalks. Just by looking at it, he knew that it was not a peace-loving thing, and he could try not to provoke him.
"Guru" I don't know whose stomach suddenly rang, although the sound was small, then it was undoubtedly like a thunder in the silent environment.
"Huh!" The locust's eye stalks swept towards the human side instantly, and the thorny mouthparts let out a terrifying growl, and after a slight flash of the translucent body, it disappeared directly in place.
"Oops! That thing will be invisible, it's coming!!"
Charles was holding the explosives on his waist in his hands, with a tight expression on his whole body with determination, just waiting for the monster to come out and fight to the death.
The other crew members also clenched their weapons, and everyone's heartbeat started to accelerate.
The seconds that Charles muttered silently in his heart, just when he was about to throw the explosives in his hand, the dark environment was illuminated by red light. The locust appeared above a rock out of thin air, its eye stems looking far away.
"Squeak~" The sound of the rat's scream came from there, and it became louder and louder, as if it was deliberately created.
The locust twisted the swollen body and swam there quickly, the red light disappeared.
In the dark, Charles breathed a sigh of relief in a cold sweat. He didn't expect to be rescued by a mouse.
He turned to talk to the person next to him, and found a pair of green eyes appearing to his left.
But this is the beginning. A pair of eyes lit up, and more and more, the scalp of the person looking at the layered eyes was tingling.
Charles took out a match and struck it the rock wall. The fire light illuminates the surroundings. It is a mouse, and countless endless rats surround them like an arhat. They are surrounded by rats!
"How are you guys! My name is Lili, I am glad to meet you!"
The sudden female voice froze everyone's subconscious attacks.
After a simple identification, Charles saw a white rat standing among the groups of rats speaking. The white mouse's gestures were completely different from his peers, and his eyes were full of agility.
The mouse seemed to recognize Charles as their head and jumped in front of him and looked up at him. "Hello, my name is Lily, what is your name?"
Charles looked at the mice around and whispered: "Charles."
Just as the two had just finished their initial conversation, there was a roar in the direction where the flying locust was leaving.
"Oh, come on! My friend can only hold it temporarily. The thing is coming back. I will take you to my house."
The white rat took the other rats and evacuated quickly after speaking
Seeing the red light rising again in the distance, Charles did not dare to stay, and led the crew to keep up. UU reading www. uukanshu.com
Compared with that kind of monster, at least these mice still have the possibility of communication.
In the darkness, Charles and his party followed the mouse to drill around, and finally they came to a hole more than one meter high.
When they got in with the torch, in the darkness, a pair of eyes were fixedly staring at the humans who walked into their cave, and the sound of cries was constantly ringing.
More than a dozen torches were ignited and thrown into the air. The light illuminates everything here. Inside the cave close to the size of a football field, there are all dark brown rats staring at them.
Mouses are not strange, but some mice holding bone tools like humans are a bit weird.
The low domed houses lined up neatly, and Charles even saw a big mouse teaching a little mouse to count! Charles felt that he had suddenly come to Lilliput.
The white mouse not only brought a toy-sized stool from somewhere, jumped on it and sat down, "Can you take me home? I miss my mother."
A group of mice swarmed up, and there was a bowl of brown liquid in front of every human being, which seemed to be a treat for guests.
Come back home? Charles looked around at the peculiar mouse hole around. "Isn't this your home?"
"Of course not, I'm not a mouse! I'm a human!" White Mouse argued while standing on the stool.
"People?" All the crew members stared at the little mouse in front of them. They couldn't tell that it was a person.
Seeing Charles and their disbelief, Lily the White Mouse quickly began to explain.
"I am really a human being. Mom and Dad took me on a boat to see my grandfather on Hefang Island, but I encountered a whirlpool and fell into the sea. When I woke up, it became like this. I don’t know why. ."
