The hazy purple mist rolled slowly in the air, and a giant bottle bigger than a mountain sat in it.
A strong sense of oppression came over them, making everyone shiver and afraid to move.
"Let's go, let's move over." Charles' calm words made everyone in the car's heart tremble.
"Ship... Captain... How can we get close to such a big thing? It can crush us all to death with just one stomp of its feet!" Dipper asked stutteringly.
Charlton looked at the giant in the distance with a complicated expression, sighed slightly and said: "At this time, if "He" can really move, it would be a good thing."
The car started again, and as they got closer, the hazy purple faded slightly, and the figure of the giant became clearer and clearer.
A tall and thin body made of gray metal, with huge palms that were almost as long as half of his chest, and extremely long arms that hung directly to the ground.
This thing was none other than the huge body that the God of Light had kneaded using those steamships. It was kneeling on the ground, with its body slightly leaning back. Judging from its posture, the God of Light at that time was very... desperate.
The car drove to the side of the torso of the God of Light, and everyone subconsciously slowed down their breathing, as if they were afraid of waking each other up.
Charles jumped out of the car and looked up at the huge monster in front of him. Even though the other party was dead, Charles still felt a great shock in his heart when he saw this huge body.
The body of this god is extremely huge. Just one of his fingers is almost as big as a skyscraper in front of humans.
Standing below and looking up, one can only barely see the lower body.
"Take out the camera. Take some pictures for evidence. I'll go check it out first."
After Charles finished speaking, flesh quickly grew on his arms, his body was covered with black hair, and sharp fangs appeared in his mouth. After a while, he had turned into a hideous and terrifying bat monster.
Charles spread his wings and flew towards the top of the God of Light. Soon the body of the God of Light was completely revealed in front of him.
Charles could have expected that his head would disappear, but he had not expected that there would be a big hole in his chest.
Apart from this hole, the body of the God of Light was not damaged at all.
Recalling the scene of the God of Light breaking the seal, Charles remembered that this place should be used to store the meat balls formed by the believers of the God of Light.
"Click" Charles folded his wings and stood directly in the empty chest of the God of Light.
He stretched out his sharp nails and scraped the cut surface under his feet. The cut was very smooth, like a flat mirror. Anyone who could achieve this level was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Is it because the disappearance of those believers of light caused the fall of the God of Light?"
After this thought quickly went through his mind, Charles immediately extinguished it.
This body was just a temporary one made by him using human bodies and ships. The mere loss of the body could never have caused the death of the God of Light. His death must have been caused by other reasons.
Charles thought of this and turned his head to look at the empty space behind him.
The darkness disappeared. Did the being who killed the God of Light take away the darkness? What did the darkness of Earthsea mean to the God of Light? Why did he take it away
Just as Charles was thinking about these questions, a bat flew up from below. It was the blind vampire Audric.
"Captain, there is no danger up there, right? We are all worried about you."
Charles shook his head. "There's nothing up there."
Standing here and looking down, everything around is purple, with no sign of any living creature at all.
"Let's go, let's go down, this place is no longer valuable." Charles spread his wings and flew down.
After quickly recording the coordinates on the map, Charles planned to go back and ask other explorers to change their strategies and explore around this point.
The darkness has disappeared from the God of Light. If there are no other clues, a wide search around the God of Light is the fastest.
The tire tracks of the car bypassed the body of the God of Light and headed behind Him.
There is still some whale oil left, so we can explore more places. It would be a waste of time to go back now. Human beings lack nothing now, but the thing they lack most is time.
The car drove for another two days, and the surrounding environment was still a Gobi desert that stretched as far as the eye could see.
There was nothing around, not even a single insect that I had caught the first time I came here. It was as if this was a dead place.
"Captain, our car is only enough for today, otherwise the whale oil we brought will not be enough for the return trip." Dipper reminded while holding the steering wheel.
Charles narrowed his eyes and looked at the desolate scenery outside. His right hand slowly stroked Lily, who was lying on his belly. "I know. I'm thinking about it."
Charles felt a little restless. The surface of the earth was far more desolate than he had imagined. If the entire surface of the earth was like this, then this place was really a more desperate world than the Earthsea.
"Ding~!" The brass pocket watch opened and closed again. Charles reached out and pressed on the steering wheel next to him. "Time's up. Change people."
"It's all right, Captain. I'm not tired now."
"Stop talking nonsense and sit in the passenger seat." Charles pulled hard with his hands and exchanged seats with Dipper.
Dipper sat in the passenger seat with a smile on his face, looking at the surrounding scenery with great interest. It seemed that he had not seen enough of so much land.
"If I go to a tavern now and tell them what I saw, no one will believe me. There really is an island as big as the sea."
"Wouldn't it be possible for everyone to own their own house and land if they came up here?"
"By the way, Captain, do you think ryegrass can be grown in these places? If so, maybe we can come and live there."
"No, we have already thought of what you have thought of. There is no fresh water in this place, and it is all saline-alkali land."
"And don't forget, the God of Light once died here. If He died, how could we die faster if we run up here?"
Time passed little by little as we chatted, and the time of the day slowly approached midnight.
"Is this exploration over?" However, just as Charles was thinking this, a hint of yellow caught his attention.
That is not the ordinary yellow of the Gobi Desert, that yellow is more delicate.
As the distance got closer, not only Charles saw this view, but others also saw the scenery in the distance.
That is the desert. There is a desert next to the Gobi Desert. Although the more barren desert is not much better than the Gobi Desert, this change makes everyone feel a little relieved.
The surface of the earth still has changes in topography, it is not unchanging.
