Charles pulled on the bandage, pulled out the black knife inserted in his leg and used it as a mountain knife, and kept chopping the branch with the bandage hanging in front.
The spiky branches were easily cut, but the cut was empty.
The two broke into the depths of the forest. Soon Charles saw the other people in the bandaged mouth, and the scene before him shocked him.
In front of him was a weird dwarf tree. The trunk with long thorns entangled the body of the boy. The unconscious human was hung in the air like a piece of bacon, swinging left and right like the fruit of this strange tree.
There is more than one "fruit", and there are many fruits on the strange tree.
"Save them." Charles clenched the black knife and rushed up.
A young man fell on the ground and snorted, woke up leisurely. He looked at Charles who was madly cutting the trunk, his head was a little confused. "Who are you? Have you seen my captain?"
Charles didn't have time to care so much. He picked up the knife and slashed the branches frantically, saving everyone, but this time there was still something in the hollow branches. A bunch of short trembling pink tentacles fell out of the cross section.
"Ka Ka Ka..." The trunk of the dwarf tree suddenly moved, and everyone present shifted their eyes to the dwarf tree.
The rust-red trunk slowly cracked, and several eyes shot out from the cracks of the tree and swept across Charles.
A thought flashed through Charles' mind, "Is this thing really alive?"
The movement of the dwarf tree is getting bigger and bigger, so big that Charles can see the twisted flesh and blood in the tree cracks, the tawny eyeballs, and the monstrous anger in the eyeballs.
"Run!!" The living people present moved instantly, and even if they couldn't figure out the situation anymore, human instincts tended to run away quickly.
They walked only a few steps with their front feet, and with a loud "touch", the dwarf tree exploded directly, and the twisted flesh and blood creature crawled out.
They look like starfish with black hair at first glance, but after careful inspection, they will find that the hair is thick and dark slender tentacles, and the orange-yellow one-eyed heel and the big mouth with fangs grow in the center of the body.
The monster opened its mouth and twitched its tentacles, chasing the escaped food frantically.
Fortunately, Charles drove a way before, and the distance between the two sides is still widening.
"Kakaka~" All the trunks around are shaking and cracking. Charles and the others seemed to have touched some mechanism, all kinds of deformed creatures stretched out the disgusting meat strips as if they were awakened from sleep.
They swayed, screamed, and turned the whole island into a on earth.
Various evil gazes shot over, making everyone feel chilly and stiff limbs.
"Hurry up! Hurry up!!" Charles helped the young man to escape quickly.
More than just running for a long time, the situation is getting more and more dangerous. Now not only is the flesh and blood surging behind, but even the strange tree in front is beginning to shake
At this moment, the creeping tentacles in front formed a big net, and they were surrounded!
At the very end of his hair, Charles suddenly remembered something, and took his hand directly to his waist, and touched a bunch of hard-textured things. It was the explosive he brought over!
"Boom!!" Flesh and blood splashed, and the blocked intersection appeared again.
Explosives helped everyone drive the way, but as everyone had less and less explosives, everyone's faces became more and more ugly.
Just when the last pack of explosives was left in Charles's hands, the sound of waves hitting the beach from afar, and the exit was in front! !
Everyone knows what this means, and the speed under his feet has accelerated again, desperately squeezing the potential of the body.
The last pack of explosives was ignited and thrown out, and the hard ground was finally replaced by soft sand. They came out.
The seven rushed towards the canoe on the beach frantically, and the meaty monster behind them followed.
After the light, Charles saw a golden light flashing next to him. It was the statue of Futan he had thrown on the ground before.
Charles ran a few steps and picked up the idol and jumped directly onto the canoe. The others swayed the oars desperately, and finally returned to the sea before the meat monsters caught up.
The monster seemed to be afraid of the sea, and after a little touch, they shrank back.
Waiting for the group to return to the Mouse completely, the breath in their hearts relaxed, and everyone collapsed on the ground, panting like an old dog.
Although all the muscles of his body were protesting, Charles still endured the pain and stood up. The danger had not escaped and he had to leave the island.
"The big wheel tube opens, the sailor pulls out the anchor, and the first mate takes the helm! Let's leave this ghost place."
"Yes, Captain."
Seeing the crew quickly execute their orders, Charles suddenly felt a little surprised, and felt something was wrong.
He quickly filtered the memory, and was surprised to find that the crew were all back and he could call out their names.
It seems that whether it is the island or the monsters that modify the memory, it can be restored as long as the island memory is separated.
With his hands on the side of the boat, Charles looked towards the distant island. In the darkness, those meaty monsters were very fuzzy.
They stretched out their tentacles and swayed rhythmically, as if they were holding a ritual, and they looked terrified under the support of the darkness.
Under Charles's gaze, black smoke came out of the chimney of the Mouse once again, and the group of people slowly moved away from this weird island.
Waiting until the meal, under Charles’ explanation, all the crew members knew what had happened. UU reading www.uukanshu.com was shocked by this situation.
"My God, are the unexplored islands so dangerous? No wonder the disappearance rate of exploration ships is so high."
"My memory disappeared and came back? Captain, you won't lie to me?"
After taking a sip of the soup, Charles coughed slightly, and the discussion became quieter.
Charles scanned one side of each of them and said, "Everyone started reporting names and positions, and checked each other's memories to see if there was any contradiction."
The weird island made him dare not care, quietly letting the crew disappear, and also erased his own memory, this kind of power made him feel very taboo.
"Bouncing belt, position...first officer, assisting the captain and organizing various work plans..., responsible for preparing cargo stowage plans, 12-24... helmsman."
"James, the job manager, is responsible for maintaining the normal working order of the turbo furnace; at the same time maintaining the propulsion device and additional equipment, boilers, lubrication and cooling and fuel oil."
"Frei, the chef on duty, is responsible for the food for the crew."
"Deep, the captain of the sailor, is responsible for guiding the sailors to do the maintenance work of anchors, cables, and loading and unloading equipment; leading the sailors to do the paint, sailing, and high altitude."
"Wat, one job: perform steering, sailing watch duty and daily deck maintenance."
"Jack, the second job: perform various craftsmanship of cable, retractable gangway and deck."
"Anna, the ship doctor on duty, is responsible for the treatment of the crew's illness and daily physical examination."
After checking the memory in his brain, Charles was completely relieved after finding that there was no abnormality. He was really worried, and the matter finally passed.
