Chapter 425 Arrival at Crystal Island (Part 2)
When Yang Yi saw the system information, it was too late to react.
Tricia's voice stopped suddenly, slipped from Yang Yi's head, and was firmly caught in her hand.
She has completely turned into a crystal statue, retaining her movements and expressions from the previous moment. Her body is crystal clear and emits a faint white light.
[Name: Tricia’s Living Statue]
[Introduction: The mutant light elf Tricia, a fanatical believer of the Great Disrespecter, was transformed into a living statue after being infected with the crystal disease. She did not actually die, and her body was almost three times as fat as an ordinary light elf.
There is a grave mark on the back of the neck. He is a traitor on the run from the Glorious Holy Cult. He can be handed over to the Glorious Holy Cult in exchange for a high reward.
Due to the crystallization of the body, all perception of the outside world is lost, but the characteristics of the light fairy are still there, and it can shine for a long time. It is also valuable as a work of art, but it may be infected with crystal disease. 】
----------
Yang Yi obtained information about Tricia.
His heart tightened, and he acted immediately, stuffing the crystal palm that was twice the size of a normal person back into the Mimic's body, and at the same time contacted Suna.
"Suna, if there is anything unusual at your place, contact me immediately if you see it!"
The message was quickly responded to.
"What's wrong?
Did something come up on the deck? I seemed to hear gunshots. "
Suna replied, it seemed that she was not affected.
"Something happened. Don't go on the deck now. I'll explain it to you later!"
Yang Yi asked Su Na not to come to the deck first, and then contacted Tricia and found that she had sent seven or eight messages in just ten seconds.
"What happened? Why did it suddenly get dark?"
"No, I can't seem to move. I can't feel anything. Have I turned into a crystal statue?"
"Yang Yi, are you here? Say something! Could you be turning into a statue too?"
"It's over, it's over. I don't want to be locked up for the rest of my life. I'll go crazy!"
"My compassionate disrespect, please save your devout believer Tricia, and save Yang Yi by the way, otherwise I will starve to death..."
........
Yang Yi read a few articles, and all the worries that were there at first disappeared, because this little guy had too much inner drama.
But being able to use the system to send private messages is a good thing, indicating that the situation is not too bad.
“Sorry, I didn’t turn into a statue.
But you have really turned into a statue. "
Yang Yi sent a private message and included a photo of Tricia turning into a crystal statue.
"ah!!!
That's really me!
what to do!
If I can't change, I'll be doomed!
Save me quickly!
I suddenly realized that I am so fat! "
Maybe she was really panicked. Tricia sent messages very frequently and was a bit incoherent.
Yang Yi spent a lot of effort to calm her down and promised that she would be cured and it wouldn't take too long.
Yang Yi is all too familiar with the pain of being closed off and losing the perception of the outside world. He has experienced it many times in his dreams and knows how terrifying it is.
If it is delayed for a long time, it may cause irreparable sequelae.
"Please pay attention to your sanity. If you feel uncomfortable, just message me privately. Of course, you can also privately message Suna. I will get you some novels to read later."
Yang Yi took care of Tricia's side, stuffed Tricia's statue into his stomach, and looked at the remains of the Mimic in front of him again.
Combining the information from the Giant Knight, it can be deduced that the treasure chest devourer should have contracted the crystal disease after accidentally swallowing the Giant Knight's palm.
Because in the sea, sea water has the effect of blocking the infection of the deadly subspecies, and infection can only occur through contact.
So the giant knight... logically should be buried in the sea, but now he has appeared again and created a crystal island.
"Could it be that he was also caught by some fisherman?"
Yang Yi shook his head and put aside this absurd idea.
He dragged the remains of the Mimic to the bow of the ship and took out the crystallized palm inside. It was quite heavy, weighing almost forty pounds.
Next to it is the fish bucket where the old captain fished. It has crystallized and is filled with yellow-green seawater. There are three or four long-legged sardines in it that have not completely crystallized.
Most of the other strange fish were taken to the laboratory by Su Na.
Yang Yi held the crystallized palm and shook it in front of the barrel. The long-legged sardines inside did not turn into crystals immediately.
Then, he threw his palm in, attracting the attention of the long-legged sardines. After contact, they turned into crystal clear crystal fish one by one and sank hard to the bottom of the barrel.
"It's feasible. Preparing a container filled with seawater can have an isolation effect."
Yang Yi carried the crystallized wooden bucket and walked to the cabin.
A quarter of an hour later.
There is a sealed cylindrical glass jar on the completely crystallized experimental table in the witch's laboratory. A piece of crystal clear palm is soaked in it, and it is fixed with a special bracket to prevent it from falling off.
"...Is this the source of the crystal disease, the palm of the first infected person?"
Su Na stared at the glass jar and said, she didn't expect that Yang Yi would catch the target of this voyage directly with a casual fishing, at least part of it.
After sealing the can, Su Na also obtained the information about the palm. Combined with the previous encounters of Yang Yi and Tricia, she had a deeper understanding of the crystal disease or death plague.
"In addition to touching, seeing, smelling, or even hearing can also cause infection. The more direct and specific the contact, the faster the infection will occur.
I guess this disease may be transmitted through energy as a medium. Light and heat, the diffusion and vibration of matter may carry pathogens and cause infection.
To be specific, a larger laboratory is needed to test it. The space here is still too small, and some tests cannot be done."
Su Na speculated, making an extremely bold guess, and at the same time did not give up looking for pathogens.
She believed that pathogens must exist, but they exist in different forms or are too small, and they cannot be observed with the technical means she currently possesses.
"Okay, you continue your research.
But don't take this palm out, otherwise it will become a living statue and you can't do anything."
Yang Yi didn't plan to stay in the laboratory and listen to Su Na's long speech. After confirming that the situation was stable, he returned to the deck because he had arrived at the Crystal Island.
The crystal particles falling from the sky increased significantly, and a thin layer of them was laid on the deck of the Nightmare Star.
About three miles away, there appeared a large island with silvery white sandy beaches all around. The seawater became somewhat turbid due to the influence of crystal particles.
Outside the island, there were a large number of small hills, the largest of which might be tens of meters in diameter, and the smallest of which might be only a few meters. They looked like sand dunes made of crystal particles.
