Chapter 424 To Crystal Island Inside (Ch 424)

“The Crystal Island is very large, and there are many small islands around it.

My plan is to land on this small island on the edge, which is less than 500 meters away from Crystal Island and is very suitable as a stepping stone for observation before landing.

Also, this island has a structure that looks like a man-made building, which is different from other small islands and is worth a look…”

Yang Yi asked Suna for a pen and paper (newly exchanged in the laboratory), drew the outline of Crystal Island and the location of the Nightmare, and planned to land on a small island on the back of the island.

When the island is enlarged on the nautical chart, it is about 400 meters long. It is a long and narrow island with a width of about 100 meters.

However, on both sides of the island, there are obvious dock and port-like structures, which are unlikely to be formed naturally, so Yang Yi set this small island as the top priority target.

This way, you can not only make a detour and observe before going to the island, but also find some clues on this small island.

No one objected, so the plan was finalized.

According to the current speed, the Nightmare will arrive at the island in about eight or nine hours, that is, around three o’clock in the afternoon.

………..

After the plan was finalized, Yang Yi designated the sailing route and asked the old captain to continue driving the ship, preparing to take the helm himself after approaching the Crystal Island.

He actually had another question that he hadn’t asked – about the selection of people to conduct in-depth exploration of Crystal Island.

Except for him and Xiao Ji, everyone else would inevitably turn into living sculptures if they got close to the source of the crystal disease.

So Yang Yi plans to go alone, which has the least risk, but Su Na might have objections, so it has not been decided yet.

While there was still some time before arriving at the Crystal Island, Yang Yi started fishing again. He took out the crystallized Claw of the Abyss, chose a suitable spot in the atrium of the ship, and began fishing.

The fishing lasted for more than six hours, and even the weather above my head changed.

As we approached the Crystal Island and entered a certain range, some white powder began to fall from the sky. It felt delicate to the touch, and even had a lustrous luster when illuminated by light.

These are crystalline particles, suspected to be the product of atmospheric crystallization.

Some particles that did not fall down gathered in the sky and formed white clouds.

It is also for this reason that the rays emitted by the artificial satellite are filtered layer by layer. When approaching the Crystal Island, the sky has become white, the temperature has dropped below 30 degrees, and the wind has become stronger.

Yang Yi noticed the changes and knew that Crystal Island was almost there, so he prepared to put away his fishing rod and give up this fishing trip.

But at this moment, the Claw of the Abyss reacted, and Yang Yi immediately gripped the fishing rod tightly, ready to pull it onto the deck.

“It’s quite heavy, and doesn’t look alive. What is it?”

Yang Yi wondered, feeling that the thing that was hooked this time was different from before.

In order to improve efficiency, part of the tongue of the Mouth of Gluttony even drilled out from the gap between the wrist and knuckles to prevent it from accidentally slipping out of the hand, so that it could pull it up with greater force.

About 20 minutes later, Yang Yi looked towards the sea and finally saw what this thing was.

“What a huge treasure chest!”

Tracy, who was on Yang Yi’s head, sighed.

In fact, Yang Yi hasn’t caught a decent treasure chest for a long time. Basically, they were treasure chests that gave a small amount of basic supplies. They were of very low value, even not as good as the fish he caught.

But this time it should be different.

The treasure chest is large and heavy, and looks like a crystal treasure chest, but the box is cloudy and its contents cannot be seen clearly.

The Claw of the Abyss was firmly grasping the top of the treasure chest, even embedding part of it.

Yang Yi pulled the treasure chest out of the water with great effort and discovered that there were a lot of bones stuck to the bottom of the treasure chest. It was unclear whether they were decorations or glued on later.

But he leans toward the latter.

Two minutes later, the huge treasure chest was fished up and placed on the deck of the Nightmare.

A large number of crystalline arms stretched out, took the treasure chest and let it land steadily.

“Quick, open it and take a look, there must be something good inside!”

Tricia said excitedly, as if she was the one who had caught the treasure chest. She urged Yang Yi to open it quickly and was very interested in the treasure inside.

But Yang Yi remained unmoved, because based on his experience, this thing must involve risks.

So far, he has never caught a normal treasure chest other than a resource chest.

Moreover, this treasure chest always gave Yang Yi a strange feeling, as if it was urging Yang Yi to open it.

So he made an extremely abnormal move and shot the treasure chest from ten meters away.

Bang!

Crystal splashes.

In order not to damage the items inside the treasure chest, Yang Yi deliberately hit the ball very off-center. The bullet just grazed the edge of the treasure chest lid, leaving a crack and revealing the crystallized teeth inside.

“Treasure chest monster?”

Yang Yi finally figured it out.

He once caught a creature similar to the treasure chest monster, which seemed to be called the treasure chest clam. It was much smaller than this one, and its shell was still in the witch’s laboratory.

The treasure chest monster in front of me seems to be infected with crystal disease. It may have eaten crystallized fish or something else. In any case, it can’t move.

Yang Yi knocked on the box with his giant broken iron sword, and several cracks immediately appeared on the box.

After confirming that it was not aggressive, Yang Yi began to open the box violently, using the Broken Iron Giant Sword as a crowbar, inserting it and prying it hard.

While shattering the entire upper jaw of the treasure chest monster, Yang Yi also obtained information.

[Name: Treasure Chest Devourer Infected with Crystal Disease]

[Introduction: A mimic creature that may appear in remote corners, disguised as a treasure chest. Sometimes it lurks in the sea, deliberately takes the bait, and then sneak attacks the person who fished it.

Since it often eats adventurers, there may be some treasures left by adventurers in its body.

This treasure chest devourer has been infected with the crystal disease and has lost its ability to attack. It can be put into the monster gashapon machine. 】

———–

“Is this a pure bargain?”

After reading the information, Yang Yi said that he did not expect to have such a gain before landing on Crystal Island.

He took a photo and then started searching inside the treasure chest monster. He used the Fire Serpent’s Fang to cut open the crystallized stomach of the treasure chest monster. There were a lot of fish bones and some unknown bone fragments inside. He didn’t know how long they had been there, but because they were crystallized, there was no smell.

A conspicuous stone inside caught Yang Yi’s attention. It was the inscription stone of a mid-level craftsman!

Yang Yi’s spirits lifted, and he continued to search. He gradually collected some conch coins and broken pieces of weapons and armor, and finally he found a piece of human hand.

“This is……”

As soon as it was taken out, Tricia’s expression froze. She still had an expectant look on her face, but her body completely turned into crystal and slowly slid down from Yang Yi’s head.

[Name: Crystal Source – Giant Knight’s Right Palm]

[Introduction: Giant Knight, once one of the holy warriors of the Glorious Holy Church, was accidentally infected with the Crystal Disease.

After killing all his companions, he destroyed the ship, shattered his crystallized body, and sank into the sea with the ship.

He is the first patient to be infected with crystal disease. Killing him can eliminate the crystal disease from the root. 】
