296. Summoning
Dagon's corpse floated to the vicinity of the Crystal Island.
The four of Bai Ye soaked in the water in advance and hid in the shadows on the side of the corpse.
With the help of the corpse, they swam some distance towards the Crystal Island.
The sound of the waves crashing against the reef drowned out their movements, and the surroundings of the Crystal Island were shimmering white with the brilliant jewel at the top of it, like a stage of bright light.
"There's no one up there."
Valred, who was in the lead, looked in the direction of Crystal Island, turned around and whispered to the three companions, "Their ship is not far ahead, shall we take the ship first?" ”
"I'll take care of that."
Captain Monch stroked the brim of his straw hat with his hand, and a confident and slightly hideous smile appeared on his face.
"I'm good at it."
He had been a robber at sea, and it was his duty to plunder ships.
"Well, I'll leave the retreat to you, Captain."
Bai Ye nodded, his mission was only to stop the Dagon Secret Order Sect's Ritual of Summoning Evil Gods, but no matter what, they had to leave here in the end, and preparing a retreat in advance could make the implementation of the plan more secure.
After Captain Monchi swam alone towards the Secret Cult's ship, the remaining three began to plan their next move.
"The situation on the island is unknown, and we'd better explore the terrain first when we go up."
Lily held a rock in her hand, her body bobbing and falling in the water, her long, curly wet hair clinging to her fair cheeks.
"I think there's something wrong with that glowing crystal."
Valred said in a confident tone: "It should be the right direction to go that way." ”
"You'll have to look at it to find out."
Bai Ye said, gesturing to the two companions, and then took the lead in standing up from the seawater.
He climbed a rock with his hand, waded wet and climbed ashore, and first looked around vigilantly.
This small island made entirely of crystals does not look like an artificial structure, but rather a wonder generated by nature, and it is unknown how the followers of the Esoteric Order found such a magical place in the vast sea.
The crystals on the islands are large or small, in the shape of prisms on three or four sides, emitting a faint blue glow.
Bai Ye took a closer look at these crystals, and lightly touched the surface of the crystals with his hand, and found that there was some kind of strange energy circulating on the surface of those crystals, and the moment they came into contact, it would make people naturally concentrate their spirits and produce a noble and sacred feeling.
"That's probably why this place is revered as a holy place for believers, right?"
Ordinary crystal stones can still produce such a catalytic effect, and the huge crystal at the top of the center of the island, which is blooming with flame-like brilliance, is even more solemn and sacred.
Bai Ye felt that Valred's guess was not wrong, if he was a follower of the secret order, then he would definitely involuntarily go to the place where the sacred aura of this island was strongest to worship.
……
"I feel that my whole person has become a lot more noble and pure."
Valred, who landed on the island later, whispered to his sister.
They also felt the difference of this place quite clearly, and they were each adapting to the feeling of being surrounded by this sacred aura.
"Even the concept of evil gods in my heart has been shaken a little."
"Concentrate on brother, we are now saving the future of the entire family."
Lily pinched her brother's waist from behind as a wake-up call.
"Okay, okay, I might need to go back to the sea water and take a bath to cool down."
Valred shook his head vigorously, his eyes finally refreshed.
The two siblings followed Bai Ye and continued to climb up, and after a while, a crystal step appeared on the ground, and the direction that the step led to was the fire-like crystal at the top of the island.
Everywhere around, there are no other trails on the island, and the only path is lined with towering crystals, making the trail a semi-enclosed passage.
Although the terrain seems simple, it also makes it impossible for the three outsiders to use the terrain for cover.
They had to go up the steps.
After walking down the steps for more than ten minutes, as the height rose, that special divine aura became more intense, and a strange chanting voice even appeared in Bai Ye's ears.
Finally, when they had climbed a gentle slope, the road ahead suddenly became clear.
The end of the stairs was indeed directly below the huge crystal, and up close, the crystal was staggeringly large - it was two stories high.
Although it also looks like an ordinary cuboid shape, it does not shine with a faint blue light like the other crystals on the island, and this giant crystal stone emits a bright flame light throughout, and the surface is surging with extremely surging energy.
The crystal stone stood alone in the center of the summit platform, and the other ordinary blue crystal stones in its vicinity were at least ten meters away.
Ten followers of the Secret Order Cult dressed in uniform black cloaks were holding hands in a circle, enclosing the giant flame crystal in the middle, walking around the crystal in a regular direction, and a muffled voice like a spell came out of their mouths.
"I've seen this scene in my dreams!"
Valred exclaimed, "They've already started the Awakening Ritual. ”
"Look at the stars in the sky."
Hearing Lily's shout, Bai Ye looked up at the sky, and immediately noticed that the stars in the sky that were almost connected in a straight line were now lined up in a neat row.
Here we go!
As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, the stars in the sky twinkled in unison as if they were catering to his thoughts.
Then, the flame crystal blazed with light, and the flame brilliance on the surface burned violently like a fire doused with gasoline.
A ray of light spewed into the sky, pointing at the twinkling stars in the night sky.
The voices of the believers chanting incantations began to rise and become rapid, and their summoning ritual seemed to be at its most critical moment.
"I can't let them go on any longer, I can vaguely see that evil guy right there!"
Valred pointed to the sky with a horrified expression.
In that pale blue night, the stars were lined up one by one by the light released by the flame crystal.
When the first stars were connected by that line of fire, a faint shadow began to appear in the sky.
The silhouette of the Phantom is a humanoid monster with a pair of bat-like wings growing on its back.
As more stars are connected by the line of fire, the illusion of the monster gradually solidifies.
