The ordinary stone monster looks like two stone balls.
It is mostly dark brown, sometimes khaki, with rough texture and rugged appearance.
The guy in front of him who is made entirely of stone is obviously made of an extremely strong white stone, showing a complete human shape, with fine texture and clear outlines.
Therefore, everyone on the Platinum thought that this thing might be related to the Stone Demon, but they dared not confirm it.
However, this was just the beginning, and strange sounds continued to come from the distance.
"Snapped!"
"Wow!"
The waves hit one after another from afar, one after another.
But there was no wind on the sea, it was not high tide yet, and there were no other abnormalities around.
Slowly, the crew of the Platinum saw "behemoths" appearing one after another in the distance, occupying the world in front of them.
A large number of giant beings higher than the clouds were arrayed and advancing, and the pressure they brought was unimaginable.
this moment.
They felt as if they had seen God sending out His World-Destroying Legion to wipe out all life forms in this world.
Everyone on the Platinum was standing on the deck, hanging on the mast and leaning on the side of the ship.
His expression was generally frightened and dull.
It wasn't until they were thoroughly confirmed that it was not an illusion that everyone on the ship finally came back to their senses.
"Hey, is that true?"
"How can there be such a big stone demon and so many of them?"
"Is this a new race in this world?"
"You can't be a servant of the dominant god, right?"
Everyone started looking at the existence of the stone demon, but gradually turned to looking up, because those guys were getting closer and closer to them.
They then reacted and wanted to run away, but the opponent had already arrived in front of them in just a few steps.
The giant stone demon stepped on the huge waves that caused the Platinum to almost capsize in the sea water.
"not good."
"Hold still."
"Be careful of falling into the sea."
Everyone hurriedly grabbed everything they could, while looking at the giant stone demon who was as big as a god in horror.
Among them, several people accidentally fell into the sea.
The "dwarf" also grabbed "Nasha", and the two of them grabbed a rope together, so that they did not fall directly into the sea.
However, the giant stone demon opened its arms and grabbed the Platinum.
Everyone watched helplessly as the huge palm blocked the sky little by little.
With such a terrifying and horrifying posture, let alone them, even the apostles would be easily crushed to pieces under such power.
The girl who was hanging on the rope with the "dwarf" saw this scene and screamed in fright.
"do not come."
However, what people didn't expect was that she shouted like this.
Those giant life forms actually stopped one after another, and there was no other movement.
The huge palm was fixed on top of their heads, and as the waves gradually subsided, it never moved.
"Wow, Nasha."
"You made it stop?"
"Probably not?"
Everyone looked at the girl and shouted out her "name" in great surprise.
At this time, Captain Briman came out very calmly and looked at the girl.
"They seem to be here to find you."
He seemed to be very sure that this was the case, and there was no hesitation when he said this.
Then, he changed his words and said.
"You ask them, do they know about land?"
"Or you can find shallow offshore waters or even islands."
After sailing at the speed of the Platinum for several days, I couldn't even find a shadow of the island, let alone any other clues. I don't know how long it will take if I continue to search like this in confusion.
Although they have stored a lot of supplies, they have enough food, and they can also fish.
But it is impossible for the snake people to survive by eating only fish. They also need other food. At the same time, they cannot sail on the sea forever, so they must find land.
The girl whispered what Breeman said, and saw the giant stone demons moving one after another and walking towards the distance.
The girl hesitated because the other party didn't reply at all: "Is this considered a success?"
Briman smiled: "I think it should be a success."
Briman stretched out his hand and waved it down.
An order was given.
"Set up the boat and follow them to find land."
Although everyone could not believe that the girl could control such a being, they could not find any other reason to explain this phenomenon and could only follow the captain's order.
Next, everyone's voyage seemed much more targeted.
Under the leadership of those giant stone demons, they headed towards the target location little by little.
However, during this period of time, everyone gradually discovered some unusual things.
I don't know when they started, but they discovered some changes in their bodies, as well as some differences between this world and the previous one.
On the deck, a group of snakemen were busy feebly.
Moving things around, or scrubbing the deck.
"Hiss!" Someone touched his body and tore off a piece of skin, grinning in pain.
"What's wrong?" People around him gathered around.
"Every day after being on the deck for a while, I feel a burning pain all over my body, and it gets more and more serious. I don't know why, is it because the sun is too strong?" As soon as these words came out, everyone said this, and they showed it one by one.
With regard to their own bodies, everyone immediately discovered that everyone was like this.
"I didn't do anything today and I always feel out of breath." Someone else asked another question.
"I also feel a little dizzy, as if I'm seasick." Others immediately said that they felt the same way.
"Are you kidding me, seasick? How many years have we been running on the boat?" But the more this happens, the more unbelievable it is. They are adventurers who regard the boat as their home. How could such a situation happen?
As we kept going forward, the temperature gradually became higher, making it even more unbearable.
But they didn't gain anything.
They can indeed feel some changes in the color of the seawater, as well as some subtle characteristics of the tides and currents.
All this also allowed the crew to feel that they were not far from land.
Therefore, no one said much about some unbearable things.
Everyone still maintains a positive mood.
I don’t know how long I have been sailing, but I watched the giant stone monsters moving forward day after day, as if they were going to go all the way to the end of the world.
On this day, they finally saw something emerging from the water.
Following the giants, they appeared in a reef area.
"Look!"
"Stones, there are rocks exposed."
"reef."
"There should be islands nearby, or even land."
Everyone cheered. It had been so long since they left the land, and even just seeing a reef above the water was enough to make them cheer.
However.
Got here.
Those giant stone demons no longer moved around, just standing on the sea.
The water here is so shallow that it can't even cover their feet.
They are like giant pillars holding up the sky and the earth, shining brightly in the sun.
"Why are they not moving?" The crew on the Platinum were looking forward to the next scene, but found that everything had stopped, which felt strange.
"Looking at the terrain here, the land should be around, it shouldn't be far away." Someone said after observing the surrounding situation.
"If they don't move, let's go look for them ourselves." The boat started moving again.
However, after driving the boat around for a long time, we found that everything was surrounded by sea, and only here was a small reef.
The farther you go, the deeper the sea becomes.
As a last resort, they had no choice but to return to those giant stone demons.
The people on the boat shouted at the giant stone demons: "Hey, we are looking for land, not here."
Someone also asked Nasha: "Have they made a mistake?"
Nasha hid behind the "dwarf" and whispered: "I don't know, they won't answer me."
Everyone didn't know what was going on, so they gathered on the top deck and under the rudder of the ship.
Briman folded his hands on the rudder, bent over and looked at the giant stone demon in the distance, and then glanced at "Nasha".
Then he looked at his crew members and said.
"It's not what Xiao Nasha said wrong, nor is it those giant stone demons who made a mistake."
"Perhaps for this world, this is the land."
After Briman finished speaking.
Everyone looked at Briman in disbelief, wondering if he had made a mistake.
Compared to Briman's answer, they were more willing to believe that Nasha had made a mistake, or that the giant stone demons had made a mistake.
"Is this land?"
"But, there's nothing here?"
"Yes, Captain, how can this be land?"
Briman nodded and continued.
"For us, this is indeed not land."
"But for this world, this may be the closest thing to land."
Briman looked straight at the world, and then said quietly.
"If I guess correctly, everything in this world is submerged in the sea."
Everyone was in an uproar, but Briman walked off the boat.
He stepped on the sea and came to a rock.
Briman reached out and grabbed a bug from the shallow water next to the reef.
It has a dark carapace and short legs.
Briman looked at the insect for a long time, and finally seemed to be sure of something. He reached out again and caught a fish from the sea.
Just like that, he returned to the deck with something in one hand.
"Strange bugs, have you seen them?"
"And that weird fish we always eat."
"What's the captain doing looking at this thing?"
Briman slowly said the name of the insect: "Trilobite."
Then he looked at the other one: "Also, Archeopteryx."
both.
One is the beginning of the Trilobite. The Creator combined the power of the King of Wisdom and the trilobites in the sea to create the first batch of Trilobites without manifest power.
The Ancestral Fish is the oldest ancestor of the snake-man clan spanning hundreds of millions of years.
These two ordinary things seem to represent the key to the first era and the second era respectively.
Breman never imagined that after so many years, he could still see ancient species that had passed away in the past reappear before his eyes again.
This made him feel a little excited.
If both trilobites and archeopteryx can appear, can the trilobites also reappear?
The crew members were very curious when they heard that Briman actually knew the names of this strange insect and another strange fish.
"Trilobite?"
"what is that?"
"What is Archeopteryx."
"But what does this have to do with our search for land?"
Briman raised his head and looked at the others.
"This is an ancient species that only existed in the previous era. It is an existence that will never be seen in this era."
Finally, Briman told them.
"This should be a world similar to the ancient times."
Many people present also learned some information about the ancient era after Captain Briman exposed the identity of the three-leaf symbiote, and knew that there was another era before this era.
But before that, the era of gods in their imagination should be an era of having everything.
Under the protection of the supreme god, the gods owned everything and squandered everything wantonly. It was an era of heaven on earth.
God and man live together on the earth, and God bestows all things upon the most ancient.
"here it is?"
"Ancient times?"
"The era of the gods?"
Everyone looked back at the world.
There was no land or life in sight, and even the sea seemed primitive and wild, pitifully barren.
In the ancient times, this was actually like this?
This is completely different from what they imagined.
"Hoo ho!"
The sun sets and the sea breeze blows.
The waves became more violent, and when everyone looked at the sea that was dyed red by the sunset, their originally positive and bright hearts were instantly covered with a layer of gloom.
"Is this another world created by God, a world with nothing?"
"Ancient times?"
"Nothing at all."
"Is this the world before the Lord of Life blew his trumpet, before the continent and the world had time to rise from the bottom of the sea?"
"So how did the species of gods from ancient times exist?"
"Does it all depend on the gift of God?"
All members of the Platinum's crew became frightened.
There is nothing more frightening than the lack of land.
At this time, the captain once again needs to step forward.
The fact that he dared to tell everyone meant that he had also come up with some solutions.
"worry about what."
"We are adventurers of the Platinum, and our ability to survive is not comparable to that of ordinary people."
"Besides, although we cannot be as good as the dominant god who blows the trumpet, we can reshape the world."
Briman raised the corner of his mouth and revealed his own method.
"but……"
"God still left us something."
"If there is no land, we will build one."
Briman looked at those tall giant stone demons, these guys who were as huge as gods and demons.
It is a bit exaggerated to say that they were asked to create a continent, but if you rely on them, you may be able to create a place for them to stay, which is relatively easy.
Next.
The giant stone demons came over one by one and used their own strength to raise the ground little by little.
Slowly, a ground was created that could accommodate them.
What was originally a large area of reefs around it gradually gathered into a large island.
Just like that, they got off the boat and prepared to build a habitat here.
"How can we build a house without wood?"
"Dig a hole, that's all we can do for now."
"Or build a house out of stone."
Everyone seemed to gradually accept this fact, but there were also some people who wanted to continue looking for land.
They thought, how could there be no land in the world?
How could there be no trees, no jungle?
They feel.
In that distant place, there must be swamp lakes and jungle green seas, and you can see all kinds of beasts galloping on both sides of the river.
Captain Briman did not stop them, but agreed to their request.
In this way, the people on the boat were divided into two groups.
The first mate "Treant" took this group of people and set out for a distant place early one morning.
He is also a person who firmly believes that there is land and a lush and fertile world in the distance, and he said with confidence at this moment.
"Captain, we will find land."
Captain Briman nodded and said to them.
"I'm waiting for you to come back well."
The ship moved away little by little under the rising sun. On the newly built island, everyone waved to the sail.
Everything is in order.
It seems that the problem has been temporarily solved.
But at this moment.
They still cannot understand the true cruelty of the ancient times.
——
on the island.
Since coming to this world, a group of snake people who landed on the island felt that their condition was getting worse and worse, and various problems occurred frequently.
"I always feel a little out of breath."
"My whole body feels uncomfortable."
"My skin hurts so much."
"What happened to your body? Why is there such a big piece of it broken?"
Problems gradually emerged.
Under that weird and poisonous sunshine, more and more snake people are showing signs of discomfort.
On the other hand, the Snake Man cannot do just eating fish.
With the depletion of some important supplies and the lack of food types, various diseases continue to appear in the population.
Some people's bodies are swollen, some people's eyes become blurry, some people even have sores on their bodies, and some strange symptoms.
Moreover, some of the witchcraft medicine brought was gradually exhausted and could not be replenished.
This is true even for powerful people. The bodies of wise and powerful people who have not become apostles are almost the same as ordinary people.
The second officer's "dwarf" looked at his red arms and increasingly swollen fingers, and raised his head to look at the sky.
After this period of observation and summary, he gradually discovered some problems.
"There's something wrong. There's something wrong with the sun."
"Also, the air here is different from the original world, and there are also problems."
"The ocean here, the land here, the creatures here."
"There's something wrong with everything."
The second officer of the Platinum immediately returned to the gathering place and summoned everyone.
Men and women gathered together, and the "dwarfs" set a series of rules.
"Don't bask in the sun at will. Everyone must wrap themselves up or cover themselves from the sun when they go out."
"Also, don't eat anything other than fish. Everything here may be poisonous to our bodies."
"All abnormal situations should be reported to me and the captain."
After saying that, the "dwarf" looked at everyone seriously.
"Everyone."
"This is a completely unknown world to us, and we know nothing about it."
"We have to understand it before we can deal with issues here."
After arranging everything, the "dwarf" came to the depths of the cave, to a corner surrounded by canvas and hung with lights.
Here, Captain Briman is thinking and writing something, and there is a three-leaf seed on the table.
The "dwarf" came here and looked at Briman.
What he said just now is indeed correct. They indeed know nothing about this world, but the captain in front of them should know it.
The "dwarf" wanted to speak calmly, but because some recent situations were too severe, he was filled with emotions when he spoke.
"Captain, was the sun like this in ancient times?"
"You know, we don't even have the qualifications to survive under the sun."
As he talked, he felt a little aggrieved.
"The great Captain Breman, as the oldest of you."
"Why didn't you tell us in advance?"
"The situation is so bad, but there is nothing we can do."
Briman raised his head and told the "dwarf".
"terribly sorry."
"Before the glass jar that dominates the gods is opened, no one knows what kind of world is inside."
"And this is the first time I know that the sun in the ancient times was like this, because there were no snake people in the first era, and there were no life forms on the land other than the ancient beings and monsters."
"I only know that there was no life other than us on the land at that time, let alone plants."
Briman frowned and fell into thinking.
"Perhaps, ordinary life cannot appear on land because of the different sunlight."
"And the plants on land have never been able to be born because of this sunlight."
Briman didn't understand what happened from the First Era to the Second Era.
What did the Supreme God do to allow jungles to spread across the land and millions of species to spread across the world?
But there is nothing he can do. He cannot have the power to shape the world like the supreme gods, nor can he make the world span an era in an instant.
The "dwarf" looked into Briman's eyes and understood that what he said was true.
But the more this happened, the more confused he felt.
"so."
"What kind of land and forests does the tree man go to? A lush world with other species, is it completely impossible?"
"Because nothing can be conceived under this sun."
The "dwarf" looked at Briman and kept shaking his head.
"This is not a question of whether it can be found, but it is simply impossible to be born."
This is a cruel world similar to the ancient times.
The ancient times, the ancient times of the Sanye people.
And they.
It's a snake man.
Briman's shoulders slumped and he slowly leaned back in the chair.
Although his face didn't change much, his eyes showed a slight change.
"People who know the ancient times always think that it is the kingdom of heaven in the sky."
"But those people don't know that when we, the oldest people, came to the second era, we were shocked when we first saw the lush green sea jungle and all the beasts running across the earth."
"that time."
"We are the ones who think we have arrived in the kingdom of God, the creator of the human world."
Briman stood up and patted the "dwarf" on the shoulder.
"Don't be so desperate, this is just a guess."
"Perhaps when the ship comes back, they will really find a continent full of greenery and life?"
The "dwarf" breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, he extremely hoped that Briman's guess would not be confirmed.
Seeing the "little man's" expression, he bent down and said in an extremely sure tone.
"Don't worry, I'm your captain."
"No matter what problem arises, I will find a solution."
When he said this, he looked vaguely at his table.
——
this day.
The Platinum is finally back.
At the edge of the island, a ship can be seen passing through the giant stone monsters that are moving slowly and docking on the shore.
After receiving the news, Briman immediately led people to greet them here.
The snake men on the coast were holding the cloth, huddled under the cloth and looking into the distance. It could be seen that almost every one of them had some problem or not and was in a depressed state.
And after the ship arrived, the people who got off were not much better.
Before Briman could speak, someone couldn't help shouting.
"First mate, how's it going?"
"did you find it?"
"Land, a land full of life?"
Everyone is extremely eager, and the other party's answer is yes.
But the first mate "Treant" came all the way without saying a word.
It wasn't until he arrived in front of Briman that the captain asked.
"Anything gained?"
The first mate "Treant" opened his mouth to answer and shook his head.
"No, I can't see anything."
"There is no land, there is nothing, and there is nothing in the sea."
"We found nothing."
The first mate "Treant" looked very ugly. He didn't know whether it was because he felt unwell or for other reasons.
"captain."
"This place is so primitive and desolate that it seems completely unsuitable for life like us to survive."
"Can such a world really accommodate an intelligent race and a true civilization?"
At this moment, his suspicion was truly confirmed.
Briman let out a breath, and at this time he could still laugh.
He said in a joking tone: "This is the ancient times, our ancient times."
Briman turned around: "We have nothing. The only thing we have is the gift of God."
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone present looked pale.
Even the most ancient people would find it difficult to survive in such a primitive and wild world without the blessing of the gods.
How should these fragile snake people survive in this cruel land.
But at this time, Briman spoke again.
"But this time."
"We will not give up, we will rely on our own strength to change everything."
Briman did not look back and walked forward resolutely.
"In the past, we didn't dare to risk everything, at least in this world of nothingness."
