Chapter 426: The Crystal Island Above (Ch 426)

Yang Yi took over the control of the Nightmare Star and steered the ship along the coastline of Crystal Island, preparing to land on the small island seen on the nautical chart before.

“Captain Yang Yi, the life detector shows that there is no sign of life activity on the coastal land.”

Xiao Ji assisted by using radar to monitor the intelligence of Crystal Island and report to Yang Yi.

The latter cannot keep an eye on the Crystal Island because he has no naked eyes. This is when the small table comes in handy.

“Okay, let me know if anything happens.

Also, can you find out what’s going on inside the island?”

Yang Yi used his three eyes to look at the Crystal Island, but his field of vision was limited. The falling crystal particles severely obscured his sight, causing his field of vision to be limited to five kilometers. He could not see clearly beyond that.

“No, the crystalline dust inside will interfere with the radar.”

Xiao Ji replied that there was no way to directly obtain the terrain information inside the island.

“Okay, let’s monitor the coast first. I’ll fire a few shots to make some noise. If there are any living creatures on the island, they should react.”

Yang Yi said to Xiao Ji and continued to steer the Nightmare Star forward.

Two hours later.

The Nightmare Star approached the special island with the dock at a speed a little faster than expected.

Because there is nothing to be gained by circumnavigating the coast.

Yang Yi fired a few shots tentatively and waited for five or six minutes, but there was no movement on the coast.

He tried changing positions two or three times, but didn’t attract anything suspicious or dangerous, so he rushed to the target location at full speed.

But there was a catch on this island with a pier.

The island is not big, and Yang Yi can grasp the whole picture with his three eyes. Except for four buildings covered with white crystalline particles in the middle of the island, there is nothing else suspicious.

“Warning, the life detector has detected signs of life activity inside the island, at a depth of about ten meters, with multiple life forms present.”

The top of the radar on the small table, which had turned into a crystal, emitted a red light and issued a warning to Yang Yi.

“Inside the island?”

Yang Yi hesitated.

Could it be that this island has been hollowed out and some underground facilities have been built, or…is this not an island at all?

He suppressed his doubts and steered the Nightmare towards the island dock, while sending a message to Suna to tell her that they had arrived at their destination.

The Nightmare Star was soon docked. There were even pillars at the dock for tying ropes, but they were covered with “snow” and were not easy to find.

A large number of crystal arms held hands or grasped arm bones, entwined with each other, forming a thicker temporary rope for fixation, which was wrapped around the pillar.

Then they dropped the anchor to stabilize the boat, and replaced the prey with the crystallized head of the Rat King, and the preparations before going ashore were completed.

A large number of crystallized skeleton rats crawled out from the hull of the Nightmare Star.

These mice not only protect the ship, but also help to explore and find the way during exploration.

Suna also paused her research on the crystallized palm and prepared to enter the island, wearing a crystallized precious bird-beak mask on her face.

Her weapons of choice are the Salt Bow and the Beam Cannon. The former is completely unaffected by Crystal Sickness due to its special material, while the latter has become a beam cannon made of crystal. The overall performance is similar, but the heat dissipation effect is slightly worse and there is a limit on the rate of fire.

Both weapons were equipped with magic to animate soldiers, so one didn’t even need to use their hands to operate them, which made Yang Yi very envious.

“This is cool magic. If we get some more cannons, we’ll be invincible.”

After making preparations, Yang Yi and Suna stepped onto the dock one after another, surrounded by many crystal mice. They went to the island first, leaving many traces of small rodents crawling on the “snow”.

Xiao Ji was left on the boat. After all, it was not safe to leave no one on the boat. It would be troublesome if other living creatures got on board.

“Have your crystal disease symptoms worsened?”

Yang Yi was walking in front and suddenly turned back to ask Su Na.

“The movement of my right shoulder and arm joints was affected. I took care of it. How… do you want to get checked out?” Suna replied.

“Um…No need, we’ll talk about it later.”

Yang Yi refused and continued to move forward, dragging the broken iron sword, digging a nearly 20-centimeter-deep trench in the snow.

After removing the upper layer of snow, you can see that the pier has also been affected by crystallization disease and has turned into a crystal-like structure.

But judging from its smooth, untextured surface, it was most likely made of metal or other shiny materials, rather than wood, which is quite rare.

After arriving on the island, the material of the ground has not changed much, which basically means that this island was not an island, but a man-made creation.

The two came to the building on the island.

There are four buildings on this island. From the outside, there is not much difference between them. Yang Yi chose the building closest to the left.

The crystal mice had arrived first, leaving many traces of crawling on the snow-covered building and even crawling inside it.

Yang Yi used the Broken Iron Giant Sword to hit the suspected main entrance several times, and a large amount of “snow” fell off, revealing the main body of the building.

This is a building that looks like a warehouse or hangar, with a simple design and a sturdy and thick door. It always feels out of place in this strange world.

But considering that there are even artificial satellites and many technological buildings in this sea area, it is not surprising.

This building has ventilation ducts, but they have stopped working long ago. The fan blades are motionless, and a large number of crystal house mice have drilled into the ducts.

Suna began to check where the switch of the door was. Even if there was a power outage, there should be an emergency switch to manually open the gate.

But Yang Yi reached out to stop her.

“There’s something I didn’t tell you. Actually, I’m very good at opening doors without keys.” Yang Yi said seriously.

After hearing this, Su Na curled her lips. She did not agree with Yang Yi, nor did she ask any questions, because she could tell what he was going to do just by assuming.

“Supreme Slash!”

There was a loud bang, and the whole building shook, raising a large amount of crystalline dust.

The four or five meter high thick crystalline door was split open by Yang Yi, leaving it beyond recognition.

After the dust settled, a huge gap appeared on the door, large enough for pedestrians to pass through.

Yang Yi walked closer, used his three eyes to take a look at the internal situation, then threw in a container of light to illuminate it, and then leaned sideways and crawled in.

“Come in, there’s nothing going on inside.”

He said, asking Suna to follow.

The two entered the warehouse-like building one after another. Their first feeling was that it was empty, as if the original things had been moved away, leaving a large area of ​​​​empty space.

Moreover, this place must have been abandoned for a long time. There was a thin layer of crystalline particles on the ground, and there were no other footprints except for the traces left by house rats.
