Chapter 539 Sand Man
The car just stopped at the edge of the desert, and before everyone got out of the car, Charles saw a yellow thing moving on the sand dunes far away.
He couldn't help being excited, this was the first time he saw a living creature on the surface.
Charles touched Lily's back with his hand, "It's time to work, let you mouse friends, check the sand for danger."
"Understood!" Lily nodded excitedly, quickly jumped onto the car window and squeaked.
Soon a small group of colorful mice jumped out of the car and rushed towards the nearby desert.
After they turned around quickly, they quickly came to Lily to report the situation.
"Mr. Charles, there is no threat in this big beach, and there is no other smell, only the smell of earth."
At this time, the living creatures in the distance were even smaller, almost invisible to the naked eye.
Time was running out, Charles thought for a few seconds, opened the door and threw Dipper down. "Take the cook and the boat doctor behind the car to other vehicles. Hurry up, don't dawdle!"
Di Pu seemed to know what Charles was going to do, and quickly said: "Captain, let me open the way ahead."
"Don't talk nonsense, there is no water here, what's your use? I can fly, and if there is any crisis, I can just run away. Hurry up, this is the captain's order!"
Di Pu reluctantly complied, and soon Charles was the only one in that car.
The car started again and drove directly into the sandy desert. The tires rolled up the sand, but it didn't sink in. The car could run in the desert.
After Charles' car had driven 500 meters into the desert, the other three cars quickly followed.
They are very separated from each other, which can effectively avoid possible dangers in the desert, although judging from the situation in the Gobi Desert, the possibility of danger here is not great.
The hanging compass was shaking constantly, and Charles stared through the windshield, staring at the clear moving object in the distance again.
Although he still doesn't know what that thing is, Charles doesn't want to give up. This is the only clue he can find.
As long as it is alive, no matter what it is, Anna can come and extract memories from its brain. Maybe it has seen the darkness drifting in any direction.
The speed of the car was obviously faster than that yellow thing, and the distance between the two was slowly closing.
The speeding car rose high above a small sand dune, and smashed heavily to the ground with blowing sand.
"This distance should be about the same." Charles finished talking to himself, let go of one arm holding the steering wheel, and stretched to the side. "Lily, binoculars!"
The shiny golden mouse quickly jumped out of his arms, and quickly came back with the monocular telescope in its mouth.
Soon the moving thing in the distance appeared in front of Charles' lens.
The sand man with only the upper body was Charles' first impression of that thing.
It propped itself on the ground with both hands and moved slowly, the yellow grains of sand continuously slipping down from the gap in its abdomen, completely merging with the sand of the desert below.
Because his back was facing Charles, he didn't see what this ghost thing looked like.
Charles is not worried about how dangerous this thing will be now, what he is more worried about now is that this thing does not look like it has a memory.
"Whether it's there or not, let's talk about it first." With Charles' right foot on the accelerator, the speed of the car went straight to the maximum.
Soon, the back of that thing appeared in front of everyone, and everyone saw the sandman moving staggeringly.
"Patter" Charles grabbed the pager in front of him, "Put up the weapon and wait for my order before doing it."
"Got it! Captain!"
"clear!!"
Charles stared at the figure of the thing with all his attention, but while he was looking at it, the body of the thing was slowly getting bigger.
At first Charles thought it was just the distance, but when the thing was over two stories tall, he immediately noticed something was wrong.
According to the current distance between the two sides, if it is now two stories high, then this thing must be at least hundreds of meters tall.
"Stop!!" The four cars slammed on the brakes and stopped on the spot.
Charles looked at the thing in the distance that was still moving slowly, and didn't notice this side.
"Captain, what's the matter? What's unusual?" The second officer's noisy voice came from the pager.
Charles took the binoculars again and looked at the thing.
This time it was seen more clearly, and one could even see the black lacquered cavities on its body, and the golden yellow sand slipped from the cavities to the ground.
"Don't get close, this thing looks a bit weird, it's not like an ordinary thing." Charles said into the pager.
Charles' car started moving again, slowly approaching the thing at thirty yards.
But as the distance got closer, the thing began to grow bigger again. This time it was already close to the height of a five-story building. If calculated according to the distance, the thing grew tens of meters taller.
As the distance approached, the sand man was actually growing up. This phenomenon made Charles feel as if his hairs were standing on end.
"It can't go any further. If it notices us, it will be in big trouble."
Quickly balancing risks and rewards, Charles decisively chose to retreat. No matter what this thing was, the risk of continuing to approach was too high.
Looking for living things What can't be found? Why do you have to choose the one with the highest risk?
Looking at the huge back of that thing, Charles took out his camera and clicked the shutter on it a few times before turning the steering wheel to retreat.
"Let's go, look for other clues." Charles' order was transmitted to all vehicles through the intercom, and soon the four vehicles began to retreat along the tire tracks on the sand.
Glancing at the rearview mirror, he saw that the sand man hadn't turned his head, but was still walking towards the distance. Charles let his guard down a little.
Facing the sky full of yellow sand, he felt a little discouraged in his heart. To say that the more uncomfortable thing than danger is getting nothing.
In this exploration, apart from finding the body abandoned by the God of Light, it seems that there is nothing to gain.
Stepping on the gas pedal to the bottom, the four vehicles quickly rushed in the distance. Just when they saw the flat Gobi again, a huge shadow blocked the purple light above, completely enveloped the four vehicles, and continued to Erosion of the desert ahead.
Accompanied by this darkness, there is a rhythmic vibrating sound.
"Darkness? Darkness is back?" Charles' heart was startled.
He quickly poked his head out of the car window and looked back. The next second, a gust of cold air rushed straight from the tailbone to the back of his head.
The darkness of Earthsea has not returned, the thing blocking the purple light in the sky is the sand man, and the darkness is its shadow! !
Now it has become bigger than the body of the God of Light, and as the distance between Charles and it is getting farther and farther, its body is still getting bigger!
No matter how close or far away this thing is, it will grow bigger.
The sand on its body kept sliding down, erecting sand dunes in the desert.
At this time, Charles had an inexplicable thought in his heart, this desert was formed by the sand leaked from this thing!
