Chapter 129 In-depth
The motivation for hunger is indeed endless.
With the humid and harsh environment of the underground space, Charlie would never have come here if it weren't for hunger. After all, Charlie has no pirate complex.
The ground is covered with moss, wet and slippery. You need to be very careful every step you take, otherwise you will easily fall.
In addition, Charlie also found that these channels are inclined downward, which is equivalent to a slope.
And the more I explored, the more I found that there were too many passages here. Even if he made marks on the rock wall, he would feel a little dizzy.
"Those pirates are so amazing..." Charlie exclaimed in his heart. It was indeed a bit magical to be able to dig so many passages inside such an introverted island.
The passage was pitch black, and the only source of light was those glowing mushrooms. After the eyes adapted, although they could not be like outside, they could at least distinguish them.
Suddenly, Charlie's feet slipped and he almost flew out. Fortunately, Charlie was prepared and quickly grabbed the rock wall with a harpoon and balanced it with force.
"Farke..." Charlie cursed and continued to move forward.
In front of Charlie, someone must have been in the first place and searched for nearby food.
But I don’t know if there is too much food here or if those people are not paying attention, Charlie saw some conchs and shells attached to the rock wall. They are very small and are unlikely to fill their stomachs, but they can be eaten as snacks.
Charlie grabbed a few and put them in his mouth and sucked them slowly, which could be regarded as a little replenishing the exhausted energy.
As he walked, Charlie heard something moving ahead. He quickly stopped, grabbed the harpoon in his hand, and asked, "Is it anyone?"
The other party was silent for a moment and responded in a low voice: "Someone."
Charlie said, "Then I'll go to another passage."
Charlie understands very well that here, everyone is actually competitors and is working hard for food, so unless necessary, it is better not to meet, so as not to be ill-intentioned.
The other side did not answer, and Charlie didn't have to worry about it, but turned around and picked another passage to move forward.
Although everyone was on guard against each other, it was strange that when Charlie learned that there was indeed someone below, he felt much more relaxed.
Because the environment of this underground passage is too depressing, walking here alone gives people a very bad mood. When you know that there are similar ones, your emotions will be much better. Maybe it is the feeling that everyone is not alone.
Next, I don’t know how long I have been walking, but it should have been a long time anyway.
Charlie met several more people, and most of them greeted each other and separated, only one of them met Charlie.
When Charlie and this person passed each other by mistake, both sides were very alert. Charlie kept holding the harpoon tightly and staring at the other party, fearing that the other party would take the lead.
Fortunately, things did not develop in the worst direction, because to put it bluntly, those who can come to the underground passage now belong to the bottom of the island. It can be said that they are all bad lives, and no one is more noble than anyone else.
Moreover, due to the existence of the nightmare space, everyone does not lack combat experience. When the vigilance is high enough, neither side wants to fight and cause injuries.
The most important thing is that there is not enough food to help everyone break through the bottom line. If there is really no food and everyone has been hungry for several days, then everything will probably be different.
Charlie found some conchs, and the main seafood here seems to be conchs and shells, which definitely don’t have fish.
In fact, Charlie also saw some plants that bear fruit. He didn't know at all, and did not know whether these fruits were poisonous. However, the fruits looked quite strange. Most of them were purple-black, and many of them had thorns. Charlie was afraid that these plants would be poisonous and did not eat them.
The passage suddenly became wider.
At the beginning, when I got down from above, the width of the passage was only about three meters. Now the height of the passage was about four or five meters, and some even reached six or seven meters.
Charlie was surprised and incredible.
"Are pirates so powerful in the past? Can they dig so many such deep passages?"
Charlie felt unbelievable because the interior of this island is mostly rocky and very hard. Even with modern technology, it is very difficult to dig such a huge project, let alone on an introverted island. Where does the tools come from? Do you dig with your hands?
"But if it weren't for the pirates, how would it be formed? It was formed naturally? Obviously this is even more impossible."
Charlie couldn't figure it out no matter how he thought about it.
Finally, Charlie came to a huge space like a lobby.
This huge space is really too big, and there are seven or eight channels connecting this space. Standing in this hall, Charlie even felt very small.
There are also many plants in this hall. The glowing mushrooms hang upside down on the rock wall. The four corners of the hall are covered with dense grass plants, and many thick vines fill the remaining space on the rock wall.
This place is obviously an underground space, but at this moment it gives Charlie the feeling of standing in the prairie, and the plants are too lush.
Then I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Charlie felt that the vines were twisting like pythons, but when he stared at them carefully, he couldn’t see them very well.
Charlie suddenly snorted and smiled: "I guess I'm hungry, so I'm a little dazzled. After all, it's a plant, how can it be like an animal..."
Originally, he just wanted to relieve his depression, but as he spoke, Charlie thought of the ancient war tree outside, and then he thought that this island was not an ordinary island.
This is an island with magic power. Of course, plants cannot move elsewhere, but there is already a precedent here. Aren’t ancient trees in war plants?
Charlie's face suddenly had all the sweat beads, but he didn't dare to wipe it. Instead, he was careful and slowly retreated, wanting to leave the hall first.
At this moment, Charlie glanced at a black shadow at the corner of his eyes, and the black shadow attacked him at a rapid speed.
Charlie is not sure what this black shadow is, but no matter what it is, Charlie will definitely not surrender.
The harpoon, which had been tightly held in his hand, swung towards the black shadow.
The harpoons and the black shadows collided with each other, making a clicking sound.
Charlie felt that his harpoon seemed to have touched a piece of wood, but the strength of this piece of wood was quite large. Charlie's great strength was shocked and retreated for a long time.
Charlie quickly adjusted his pace and prepared to face the next attack, but the attack did not come.
"What was that just now?"
