547 The alien’s response (3.21)

the true God of the void, your most devout believer offers you greedy souls, fresh flesh and blood, and the most primitive fear.

at this moment, the ship was covered in blood, and all the crew members, including the helmsman, chief officer, and captain, were on the ground, groaning in pain.

Under the captain’s instigation, these crew members finally couldn’t help but attack the cloaked old man, wanting to take the ” treasure ” recorded on the sheepskin map for themselves. As for the authenticity of the treasure, there was no need to doubt it. If it was fake, why would the cloaked old man promise them ten boxes of diamonds and jewelry just to find this ” non-existent ” existence?

Although they were missing nine boxes of jewelry, they had the sheepskin map. As long as they could find the island, they would have the upper hand.

However, he had never expected that this generous cloaked old man would not be as weak as he looked. Just as they were about to make a move, this person had already sensed it. Then, he mumbled a few incantations, and many of their intestines directly tore open their bellies and came out of their bodies.

in less than a moment, the 20 to 30 people on the ship had already fallen to the ground, wailing. their intestines were twisted and tangled together, and the dirty blood in their stomachs was like a fountain, sizzling out. everyone could clearly feel the rapid loss of vitality.

The cloaked old man slowly took off his cloak and said something that made one’s hair stand on end.

I was planning to kill you after you found the island. Since you can’t wait to die, I’ll sacrifice you to nourish the true God and show me the way.

Everyone’s mouths were wide open, and they were extremely shocked, but they couldn’t say a word.

They had thought that they had been killed because of their greed and misjudged the enemy’s strength, but now it seemed that the other party had long planned to kill them.

the old man had a head of silver hair and fine skin. there were only a few wrinkles on his face, and he looked to be in his thirties or forties. he was in good spirits and had a pair of sharp eyes.

The old man took two steps forward and slowly raised his arm to prop up his wide gray robe. He took out an ancient-looking cube from his arms-a box carved with difficult-to-understand runes that emitted a pale yellow golden light.

each side of the box was neatly divided into nine pieces of kasaya.

The old man held the box devoutly and walked to the center of the crowd solemnly. He slowly bent down and placed the strange rune box on the ground.

The box was soaked in the blood River. After a while, the runes on the surface of the box turned dim and bright. The lid of the box slowly opened, revealing a void-like hole inside.

the river of blood on the ground was sucked into the hole through the cracks in the box, as if an invisible monster was sucking in large mouthfuls. All the blood on the ship had been sucked dry by the box, like a stingy Grandet who would not waste a single drop.

After the scattered blood was sucked dry, the crew member lying on the ground looked even more frightened.

This was because they could feel their exposed intestines being pulled by an invisible force towards the box. an incomparably absurd but real thought emerged in their minds, causing them to feel a chill all over their bodies and a strong fear to arise.

His intestines were being swallowed by the box bit by bit, and even his body was being dragged along.

wails and fear spread on the ship, and the ship that was floating on the sea at noon actually gave off a gloomy and strange smell.

The shrieks gradually disappeared as the box finished devouring all the offerings.

The old man knelt in front of the box and said respectfully, ” “i hope god can help me find far sight island as soon as possible.”

The box that was as deep as the abyss suddenly spewed out a cloud of black gas. The black gas wrapped around the entire ship and carried it along on the boundless sea.

The lid of the rune box was closed, and the runes gradually lost their luster and fell asleep again.

Thump-

The ship didn’t drift for long before it suddenly made a loud noise. The body of the ship shook violently and then stopped moving. It was obviously caused by being stranded.

The old man put on his hood again and hid the box under his cloak. When he walked out of the cabin, he was surprised to find that the scene in front of him had changed from the vast sea to a reef on the shore of an Island.

The island was verdant and lush, and not far from the beach was a forest. On this large island, one could see the gradually rising terrain, from north to south, from the beach to the peak of the mountain. The peak of the mountain stood tall, and under the straight cliff was the sea. The turbulent waves hit the stone wall like thunder, not stopping for a moment.

On the highest peak of the southern part of the island, there was an astrological platform with a dome visible to the naked eye.

The old man’s eyes lit up. This was the place.

He jumped off the boat, waded through the shallow water on the beach, and dragged his wet robe onto the island. He walked along the muddy road to the astrological platform on the highest peak in the South of the island.

about half an hour later, the old man successfully arrived at the top of the mountain.

The ancient astrological station built from volcanic rock exuded a sense of mystery. The gate of the astrological station was already wide open, as if it had already anticipated the arrival of guests.

The old man did not hesitate and walked straight into the astrological platform.

Inside the astrological station, the surrounding walls were painted with stars. They were connected by solid lines, forming a familiar star chart and constellation.

As the old man entered the astrological platform, the heavy door behind him gradually closed, and the light became dimmer and darker.

The open-air Star Observation platform above them was also covered with a layer of purple material.

As this layer of purple material covered the dome, the bright sunny day outside became dark. The blue sky turned purple-black, and the sunlight disappeared. In its place were bright stars that only appeared at night. The stars in the sky that were invisible to the naked eye during the day were all projected onto the astrological platform at this moment, giving people the feeling that they were in the same place and appeared in the starry sky of the universe.

And on the altar-like astrology platform, a person gradually walked out.

James, you’ve gone through so much trouble to come to my remote island. I wonder what business you have here? ” an old man with a long white beard and a plain robe said. He was stooped with a bone staff on his back. His face was Haggard, and it looked like the bark of a dried tree.

the old man named james chuckled. ” “Qi, I think no one knows the reason why I’m here better than you. Xu tianzhao and Augustine were still alive, but the Dragon Fountain fate of Dragon City and Faye had changed. Dragon city’s Qi of Dragon Fountain had been swallowed up by Shandu. Faye’s Dragon Fountain was now struggling on its last breath and would be completely devoured by Shandu in less than a month. There was something fishy about this! I can only see this much at my shallow level, but you are the top astrologer, so you must have seen more.”

At the mention of this matter, the old man named ‘Qi’ let out a soft sigh and pointed to the Northwest of the starry sky above them. There were seven bright and shining stars connected in a line.

However, as Qi gently waved his arm, four of the stars dimmed and disappeared like meteors. Only three stars were left, alternating between light and dark, but their light was much weaker than before.

James looked at the three remaining stars in the sky in shock. After a moment, he frowned and muttered, ” alongso, Moroes, and lengguan Yingluo are only three people. Why did Augustine’s star fall? isn’t he still alive? ”

before james could finish his sentence, he suddenly froze. a bold guess appeared in his mind.

Augustine actually died a long time ago, and this is just a substitute? ”

Qi didn’t answer and waved his hand again.

Another strange phenomenon appeared in the sky. In a place further away from the seven stars, a main star appeared. The three stars that were originally revolving by themselves had all become the companion stars of this new Star.

James’s mouth was slightly open. He was all too familiar with the location of this main planet.

When the seven of them swore their allegiance to the Prince, Qi, who was good at astrology, had calculated that the seven-star companion master just happened to have a celestial phenomenon.

After the seven of them conspired to kill the Prince, the main star of The Desert Prince disappeared.

But now, another new Star had appeared, and it was even more magnificent than the previous Prince. The invisible gravity had already formed a rope, firmly holding the operation of the three stars in his hands. under the terrifying gravity of the main star, the three stars were closing in at a speed visible to the naked eye. once they entered the limits of the main star’s gravity, the only result would be complete annihilation and devouring.

“The power of the new Star is unstoppable. The four stars that fell previously were all done by this person.” Qi ‘er said. She seemed to have accepted her fate. The general trend of the stars could not be reversed. This main star had already stirred up the wind and clouds, and everything around the star field could only submit. Those who did not would be crushed by the general trend and die without a burial.

James’s face was gloomy. He had come to find Aziz to find out the truth and had no intention of sitting around and waiting for death.

if it was done by one person, alongso, Moroes, Leng Guan, Augustine, and the Dragon veins in Dragon City that have completely disappeared, I have reason to believe that Xu tianzhao has been replaced. The only person who could set up such a big plan and has the motive and suspicion is link.

Link, the man who changed the wasteland’s structure all by himself.

The freedom Federation had been United for 40 years, and alongso, Leng Guan, and Augustine had also fought for most of their lives. They had not expected that in the end, a young man would take the fruits of their labor. It was a sad and lamentable sight.

James quickly walked to Aziz’s side and asked the most important question, ” “Do you think there’s anything between link and the Prince?”

Since alongso and Moroes had died on the same day, James had smelled something strange. After that, he’d been watching the situation on the wasteland in secret. He’d witnessed Link’s rise and the disappearance of the Dragon aura in Dragon City and Faye. This terrified him. It made him think of what happened 43 years ago. He felt that link had something to do with the Prince.

Instead of answering his old friend, Aziz asked, ” “if so, what are you going to do?”

James’s face was gloomy. In the past, the seven of them could kill their master for glory and wealth. Today, in order to survive, they would naturally kill any threat to them.

“If that’s the case, Yingluo, then I won’t just sit and wait for death. I can only take the initiative to attack.”

Link was powerful and had now unified the entire freedom Federation. He couldn’t say that he ruled the wasteland, but he was pretty much there. What was worse was that link had indeed solved the problem of survival for the lower-class people. Extremist ideas could not be spread, and other forces could not take in new people. They were like rootless duckweed and could only be eaten up bit by bit.

In this case, James ‘power alone and the forces he could contact on the wasteland were impossible to deal with link. this was especially true for link’s personal strength. the platinum hotel had sent out the shining nightmare, but one of them had died, and the other had been injured. this alone made some of the forces who were ready to make a move stop and give up on their plans.

“Now that Link’s aura has taken shape, you and I are like Mantis trying to stop a chariot. It’s better to find a way to hide from the heavenly secrets and live on the island for a few years.” Aziz’s words confirmed the relationship between link and the Prince of the desert.

While Aziz was observing the stars, he found that not only did link replace the original position of the main planet, but he had also continued the structure of the main planet and obtained a trace of The Desert Prince’s fate. This basically confirmed the connection between link and The Desert Prince.

James sneered and looked at the exhausted Aziz.”The one with the invincible aura, the bloodline of the last astrologer family of the desert dynasty, the one who always said he would restore the glory of his family, Aziz, is dead? All that’s left now is a piece of trash who’s left to struggle on his last breath and put his life in the hands of others?”

“i’m already 76 years old. i’m no longer a hot-blooded middle-aged man. your goading won’t work on me.” Besides, you don’t know the stars, so you don’t understand how terrifying the situation is. Link’s plans are already set and unstoppable. What do you have to stop him?”

James raised his arm and unfolded the robe covering his body, then held the rune box in one hand. “Perhaps you’re too old, so old that you’ve forgotten why I appeared by the Prince’s side in the past.”

When Aziz saw the magic box, he was extremely shocked. Even though he had studied astrology his entire life and had seen the luck of the wasteland, he was still shocked when he saw the magic box.

James sneered. I thought you’ve already seen through everything. Heart of still water. I didn’t expect there to be something that would surprise you.

Aziz ignored his old friend and got up from the futon while trembling. He looked at the magic box in front of him and said: “There are only a few things on the wasteland that can pique my interest, and this magic box is one of them. After all, this thing came from beyond the heavens, not something that originally belonged to the wasteland.”

“Dean’s magic box. It’s said that as long as you pay the price, the magic box will give you what you want. For thousands of years, the preachers have only had one successor, and you are the last successor of the Dean family. This is also why you appeared by the Prince’s side. How could I forget?” Aziz recalled.

it’s a pity that the Prince’s ambition isn’t here. James sighed.

As the only legitimate heir to the desert dynasty, The Desert Prince did not have any ambition to fight for hegemony. He only cared about art and cultural relics. The seven people beside him were all outstanding in all aspects. With such a lineup, as long as he was willing to stand up and cheer, there would definitely be a gathering of followers. With the strength of the seven people, it was only a matter of time before he restored the desert dynasty.

although I have Dean’s magic box, it’s still too difficult to contend with the general trend with just this item. Aziz couldn’t help shaking his head. If a magic box could change the situation on the wasteland, James would not have turned to the Prince, nor would he have hidden his name.

everyone who has seen Dean’s magic box thinks that it is an alchemy device that can be bartered, but only those who have always had it know that it is a key. A key that can communicate with a higher civilization.” James placed the Dean’s magic box on the ground, then took out a dagger and cut his finger, starting to draw a blood rune on the ground.

and fortunately, my ancestors gradually figured out a way to summon the upper civilizations over the long river of time. Since we can’t stop link with our own power, why don’t we let the power behind the magic box do something?”

Aziz frowned and asked: “As far as I know, Dean’s magic box can only obtain what it wants by paying a sufficient price. If you want to use this ‘key’ to summon the upper civilization, have you considered the price you have to pay?”

James finished drawing the blood rune and opened his hands.

At this moment, blood was flowing down from his fingertip and dripping onto the blood talisman.

the price is ”

The magic box’s runes lit up and absorbed all of the fresh blood offered by the preachers. The blood runes on the ground were burnt.

The magic box opened, and a soul-stirring echo came from inside.

“Alien servant, state your request, Qianqian.”
