Chapter 18 Rats
At this time, Charles thought more. Rats have always been the bottom of the ecological chain. With so many mice, there must be other predators on the island. As for what it is, he doesn't know at the moment, at least it is definitely not a cat.
While Charles was thinking, the tide of the mice was gone, and not even half of the fish bone was left on the yellow and white sand.
"The sailor broke down, bring the weapons and explosives, and prepare to get off the ship." Charles ordered, and the crew began to move.
For this exploration, he prepared more explosives. Although gunpowder may not be useful, it is better to have one than not
If the danger on the island was just those mice, these explosives would definitely come in handy.
Two wooden boats were placed on the sea, and except for the disabled bandages that were left to see the boat, everyone else came down, with a strip of cloth tied to their shoulders.
The name and position of each crew member is written on it, and it has ensured that when returning to the ship, there will be no more or less one person or less.
The crowd slowly walked towards the rocks. The old crew member who had experience was calm and calm, while the other newcomers had a little emotional fluctuations, and they were shocked and shocked.
The rocks on the island became looser and looser the more they went inside, and some animal bones began to appear on the ground.
Charles showed a little disappointment on his face. It seems that the passage to the surface should not be here.
Just as Charles was hesitating whether to continue walking in, a red light suddenly drifted between the rocks in the distance.
Charles shrank back towards the giant rock and whispered to the others: "Hurry up and put out the fire!"
Although the other crew members didn't know why, Dan still did it according to the captain's order.
Without the light of the torch, the red in the distance became clearer and clearer. The bright color appeared and disappeared between the rocks and floated towards this side.
When we got closer, everyone saw the true face of the color.
The creature was like a swollen leech, with a length of five meters. The red light was emitted by the spots buried under its translucent skin, which flashed and blewed.
Although this leech has no wings or 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 humans huddled behind the rocks did not dare to breathe, and some timids even closed their eyes and trembled.
Charles stared at him and stared at those eye stalks. Just looking at this, you will know that it is not a peace-loving thing. If you can, try not to mess with it.
"Gulu" Someone's stomach suddenly rang. Although the sound was small, it was undoubtedly like a thunder in the quiet environment.
"Swish!" The leech's eye stalk swept towards the human side in an instant, and the sharp-stinged mouthpart made a terrifying roar. After a slight flash of its translucent body, it disappeared directly on the spot.
"Oh no! That thing will be invisible, it's coming!!"
Charles grabbed the explosives at his waist in his hand, his whole body was tense and determined, and he was waiting for the monster to come out and fight to the death.
The other crew members also held the weapons in their hands, and everyone began to beat faster.
The seconds that Charles silently recited in his heart, just as he was about to throw out the explosives in his hand, the dark environment was illuminated by red light. The leech appeared out of thin air above a rock, and its eye stalk looked into the distance.
"Squeak squeak squeak ~" The sound of the mouse screaming came from there, and it became louder and louder, as if it was deliberately created.
The leeches twisted their swollen body and swam quickly towards the other side, and the red light disappeared.
In the darkness, Charles, who was sweating in cold sweat, breathed a sigh of relief, but he really didn't expect that he would be rescued by a mouse.
He turned around and was about to talk to the person next to him, but found a pair of eyes emitting a faint green light appeared on his left.
But this is the beginning, and the eyes light up, and more and more, the layers of eyes make people's scalp numb.
Charles took out a match and stroked hard on the rock wall. The fire illuminated the surroundings. They were rats, countless endless rats surrounded them like hawks, and they were surrounded by rats!
"Hello you guys! My name is Lili, I'm very happy to see you!"
The sudden female voice froze everyone's subconscious attacks.
After a brief identification, Charles saw a white mouse standing among the group of rats. The white mouse's every move was completely different from his kind, and his eyes were full of agility.
The mouse seemed to identify Charles as their heads, jumped in front of him and looked up at him. "Hello, my name is Lily, what are your name?"
Charles looked at the rats around him and whispered: "Charles."
Just as the two of them had completed their preliminary conversation, a roar suddenly came from the direction where the flying leech left.
"Oh! Come on, come on, my friend can only hold it back for a moment. The thing is coming back, I'll take you to my house."
After saying that, the white rat quickly evacuated with the other rats.
Seeing the red light rising from afar, Charles did not dare to stop and hurriedly followed with the crew.
Compared with that kind of monster, at least these mice still have the possibility of communication.
In the darkness, Charles and his group followed the rat and finally came to a hole more than one meter high.
When they held the torch and got into the darkness, their eyes were fixed on the humans walking into their caves, and the sounds kept ringing.
More than a dozen torches were lit and thrown into the air. The fire illuminated everything here. In the caves close to the size of the football field, there were dark brown mice staring at them.
It is not surprising that mice are, but some mice are a little weird when they hold bone tools like humans.
The low dome houses are neatly listed among them. Charles even saw a big mouse teaching the little mouse to recognize numbers! Charles felt that he suddenly came to the Lilliput Kingdom.
The white mouse brought a toy-sized stool from where he jumped on it and sat down, "Can you send me home? I miss my mother."
A group of mice rushed up, and in front of each human, there was a bowl of brown liquid, which seemed to be the purpose of entertaining guests.
Going home? Charles looked around the strange mouse holes around. "Isn't this your home?"
"Of course not, I'm not a mouse! I'm a human!" The white mouse stood on the stool and argued with a furious hair.
"People?" All the crew members stared at the little mouse in front of them. They couldn't tell that this was a person no matter how they looked.
Seeing that Charles and the others didn't believe it, White Mouse Lily quickly began to explain.
