On the vast desert, a deep scar appeared.
Like a giant wound, it extended in four directions across the earth, appearing suddenly in everyone's line of vision.
The Half-Person leapt up from the deck, stepped onto the ship's rail, and gazed far in that direction, turning back to say to everyone: "That's it."
There lies the Phantom Sea—
In the brown canyon, patches of dark green dotted the landscape, representing the lush forests under the night sky, like deep green gemstones embedded in the valley. Above that lay a shifting layer of color, like a disintegrating veil, giving the impression that it was both there and not of this world.
Miss Fairy watched the scene, her eyes flickering as she softly said, "Mr. Knight, the shadow of refraction."
The wind that blew across their faces carried the faint scent of sand.
Facing the wind on the deck, Fang Hong turned his head slightly and asked softly, "What is that?"
"Have you heard of mirages, Mr. Knight?"
