Chapter 424 Arrival at Crystal Island (Part 2)

"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 on the island.

In addition, this island has a structure that seems to be man-made, which is different from other small islands. It is worth going to take a look..."

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

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

But on both sides of the island, there are obvious structures similar to docks and ports, which are unlikely to be formed naturally, so Yang Yi set this island as the top priority target.

This way, not only can we make a detour and observe before landing on the island, but we may also find some clues on this island.

No one objected, so the plan was decided.

According to the current speed, the Nightmare Star will arrive at this island in about eight or nine hours, that is, around 3 pm.

...........

After the plan was set, Yang Yi designated the route and asked the old captain to continue driving, preparing to change to steering himself after approaching Crystal Island.

He actually had another question that he hadn't asked - about the selection of people to explore Crystal Island in depth.

Except for him and Xiao Ji, others were afraid that they would inevitably become living sculptures after approaching the source of the crystal disease.

So Yang Yi planned to go alone, which would minimize the risk, but Su Na might object, so it has not been decided yet.

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

This fishing lasted more than six hours, and even the climate above his head changed.

When approaching Crystal Island and entering a certain range, some white powders fell from the sky one after another, which felt delicate to the touch and even had a lustrous luster when illuminated by light.

These were crystal particles, suspected to be the product of atmospheric crystallization.

Some particles that did not fall gathered in the sky, forming white clouds.

It is also for this reason that the radiation emitted by the artificial satellite is filtered layer by layer. When it approaches Crystal Island, the sky has become white, the temperature has dropped below 30 degrees, and the wind is a little stronger.

Yang Yi noticed the changes and knew that Crystal Island was approaching, so he was ready to retract the 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 and prepared to pull it onto the deck.

"It's quite heavy, and it doesn't look like a living thing. What is it?"

Yang Yi wondered, feeling that the thing caught this time was different from the previous one.

In order to improve efficiency, part of the tongue of the Gluttonous Mouth even drilled out from the gap between the wrist and knuckles to prevent accidental slipping, and pulled it up with greater force.

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

"What a big treasure chest!"

Tricia on Yang Yi's head exclaimed.

In fact, Yang Yi hadn't caught a decent treasure chest for a long time. Most of them were treasure chests that gave a small amount of basic supplies, which were of low value, even less than the fish he caught.

But this time should be different.

The treasure chest was large and heavy. It looked like a crystal treasure chest, but the box was turbid and it was unclear what was inside.

The claws of the abyss firmly grasped the top of the treasure chest, and even embedded part of it.

Yang Yi pulled the treasure chest out of the water with force, and found that there were still a lot of bones on the bottom of the treasure chest. It was not clear whether it was a decoration or glued on later.

But he was inclined to the latter.

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

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

"Quick, open it and take a look, there must be good things inside!"

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

But Yang Yi was unmoved, because according to his experience, this thing must have risks.

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

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

So he made an extremely abnormal move, shooting the treasure chest from a distance of ten meters.

Bang!

Crystals splashed.

In order not to damage the items inside the treasure chest, Yang Yi deliberately shot very far away, and the bullet rubbed the edge of the treasure chest lid, opened a crack, and revealed the crystallized teeth inside.

"Treasure chest monster?"

Yang Yi could see it.

He had caught a creature similar to a treasure chest monster before, and its name seemed to be a treasure chest clam, which was much smaller than this one, and the shell was still on display in the witch laboratory.

The treasure chest monster in front of him seemed to be infected with crystal disease, maybe it ate crystallized fish or something else, anyway, it couldn't move.

Yang Yi knocked it with the Broken Iron Giant Sword, and several cracks appeared on the box body.

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

While breaking the entire upper palate 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 will lurk in the sea, deliberately take the bait, and then sneak attack the person who caught it.

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

This treasure chest devourer is infected with crystal disease and has lost its ability to attack. 】

"Is this a pure bargain?"

Yang Yi said after reading the information. He didn't expect to have such a harvest before landing on Crystal Island.

He took a photo, and then searched inside the treasure chest monster. He used the fangs of the fire snake to cut open the crystallized stomach of the treasure chest monster. There were many fish bones and some unknown bone fragments inside. I don't know how long they have been there, but because of the crystallization, there is no odor.

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

Yang Yi was refreshed and continued to search. In addition to harvesting some conch coins and broken weapon and armor fragments, he finally found a human palm inside.

"This is..."

As soon as she took it out, Tricia's expression was completely frozen. She still had that look of expectation on her face, but her body completely turned into crystals and slid down from Yang Yi's head.

[Name: The Source of Crystals - The Right Palm of the Giant Knight]

[Introduction: The Giant Knight, once one of the holy warriors of the Holy Church of Glory, was accidentally infected with the crystal disease.

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

He was the first patient infected with the crystal disease. After killing him, the crystal disease can be eliminated from the root. ]
