Chapter 611 Waiting
Charles stared at the giant black and white worms that surrounded him in the dark underground rocky cavern.
The worm doesn't appear to have any visual organs, but Charles has the sense of being watched.
"Your woman informed the Explorers Association of the dark coordinates, so I came here ahead of time. My Congshen and I wanted to find the darkness directly and bring it back to Earthsea, but you have also seen that things are not that simple." Piper gave an expected answer.
Although Charles was very surprised that he arrived so soon, he had other important matters to ask now.
"What's on it? Is that one a surface god? Did you touch the Foundation?"
Various questions kept popping out of Charles' mouth.
Piper's voice rang in his head again, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.
"Your words are not focused, so many questions, which one do you want me to answer?"
"There are still things outside that can kill us at any time. You are not afraid at all. You still have time to ask this."
The corners of Charles' mouth raised slightly, and he smiled dryly. "Maybe before, but now I feel like I'm getting used to it, so let's start with the first question, what was that just now? Is it a god on the surface?"
"It's not a god on the surface, it's not even a god, I don't know what it is, I need further observation, no matter what it is, it's very powerful, the two slave gods who killed me as soon as they met .”
Charles doesn't know how strong the false gods of the Haik tribe are, but they can occupy a place in Earthsea, obviously they have two brushes.
Being able to easily kill the two false gods, the strength of those three eyeballs is probably not much different from that of the god who guarded the door for God Ftan before.
Piper went on to say, "We haven't gone up much, and we don't know what's up there, but one thing worth noting is that the darkness is up there, and we need to find it."
Hearing this, Charles froze for a moment, "Isn't the darkness outside the darkness of Earthsea?"
Paipo's huge hideous mouthparts shook slightly, "No, those are just its derivatives, I guess you should have noticed that the closer you are to the top, the faster any dead thing will become its original form, according to what you say, it will become Relic."
"According to our inference, the darkness on the surface is likely to become a relic, and I very much doubt that it has been fully activated now."
"What!?" Charles' pupils instantly shrank to their smallest size.
Piper went on to say: "I know it's unbelievable, but this is the inference with the highest probability, so we need to bypass those powerful things and get it back."
Charles frowned as he digested the shocking news, which was not a good thing.
It was hard for him to believe the darkness that had turned into a relic, what it looked like, and what abilities it had.
The most important thing is that the current situation makes exploration countless times more difficult. Looking for darkness with the gods is undoubtedly tantamount to snatching food from a tiger's mouth.
After a long time, Charles looked up at Piper again. "There should be another force besides you who went up, have you met the Foundation?"
Pai Bo shook his head, "I don't know. Believe me, the area above is very abnormal and complicated. As long as you go up, you have absolutely no time to care about other things. It is already very difficult to survive."
Charles wondered whether he should tell them about the Foundation, which was a matter of life and death.
After careful consideration, Charles decided to tell him that instead of saying that they were grasshoppers on the same rope now, but that the other party had just saved his life, it would be unreasonable to be on guard.
Charles told him the matter of the Foundation as simply as possible, and told Piper that the Foundation might have a way to bring the darkness back to Earthsea.
"Have you considered cooperating with them? You can get in touch with them and become allies to work together to save Earthsea." Paipo said a way.
"I have this in mind, but the Foundation doesn't have any intention of contacting us. As a native of Earthsea, is there any trace of the Foundation as an organization in your records?"
Seeing that Piper was silent, Charles went on to say: "Not only you, but also the whole Earthsea. They have been deliberately erasing their existence in the history of Earthsea."
"This kind of thing, you should be more vigilant, no one knows what they are going to do."
Just when Charles was about to say something, with a "snap", the bandaged right hand patted Charles' shoulder.
"Captain...get out first...that's the most important thing...we haven't...out of danger..."
Charles nodded slightly, turned to look at Piper, "How long are we going to stay here?"
"Stay until it's gone, it's still up there, I can feel it, shh, don't talk, it's coming."
Hearing this, Charles' heart tightened, and he led the crew to squat down halfway, trying not to make a sound as much as possible.
As time passed by, the concept of time in the dark space gradually blurred, and Charles couldn't tell how long he stayed there.
As time went by, he gradually felt tired and hungry.
Suddenly, Piper's black and white torso began to turn, and he rolled up Charles and walked upwards. "It's gone, let's get out of here as soon as possible."
Charles, who came up from the hole, just breathed a sigh of relief, and his dark vision was instantly solemnized by pink light.
He looked around in a daze, and found that above the floating island, there were three huge star-like eyeballs surrounding them, staring straight at them with overlapping pupils, and the pink light illuminated the entire island extremely brightly.
It didn't go away at all, it just kept staring out!
The moment he saw the eyeball, Pai Bo's body loosened up, and he went underground with the afterimage.
Moonlight-like arcs appeared in the air again, this time not just one, but one after another, and finally weaved into a giant silver net.
Charles felt Lily's body trembling slightly, she was afraid.
Not only her, but the eyes of other crew members also showed a look of despair. Human beings are not even ants in front of gods.
But Charles did not give up. Although the hope was slim, he wanted to give it a try.
"Let's go!" The bat-like Charles spread his wings to cover everyone, directly triggering the teleportation dice
Their figures kept shining on the floating island, and Charles' stomach was already overwhelmed, but he had to endure, and only through endurance could he have the only hope of escape.
But no matter how useful things like relics are, they have to pay a price.
"Touch!" Charles fell to the ground, spitting out blood. The red blood contained slag of internal organs. His body couldn't support such frequent use of relics.
At this moment, the silver cover in the air closed down like a waterfall.
This side is very beautiful, but also very deadly.
