Chapter 1662: Chapter 994: Altar
Before his eyes, there was a vast, red stench-filled ocean, with countless skeletons floating, tumbling with the giant waves, layer upon layer!
He saw among the blood sea and bones, many abandoned ships, various chaotic plastic-like floating debris jostling together with the bones in the blood sea.
The stench, nausea, and strange odor assaulted his senses.
Liang Yuan was somewhat surprised, “Is this the space that the chain leads to?”
Liang Yuan’s clone quickly stood up, trying to summon the superpower within his body.
He suddenly realized that this place was also filled with copious amounts of superpower energy, and the concentration here far exceeded that of the Blue Star.
“Could it be that this is not the Blue Star?”
Liang Yuan immediately flew towards a floating ship in the blood sea nearby.
This ship had long since decayed, with only a rough wooden skeleton remaining, and no large items visible.
Liang Yuan rummaged for a long time on this ship but only found fragments of porcelain and plastic bottles.
He picked up a plastic bottle and found some blurry words printed on it.
However, the text did not resemble any kind of character structure familiar to him.
“What language is this?”
Liang Yuan thought to himself, puzzled.
Tossing the bottle aside, Liang Yuan decided to look at the causality line in the void.
“Let’s find Ling Yurong and the others first.”
He followed the causality line, rapidly flying.
With his speed, he could fly tens of kilometers in almost an instant.
After about two minutes, Liang Yuan saw a massive island ahead.
This island looked like a giant skull, its color entirely white, appearing extremely eerie from afar.
The plants on the island were predominantly white, with occasional flowers in dark red or black.
Liang Yuan noticed that the causality line of Ling Yurong and the others seemed to be lingering here.
“Are they on this island?”
Liang Yuan felt surprised and quickly approached the island; before landing, he glanced around and saw several Yangshan warships anchored in the sea of blood nearby.
In addition, along the island’s edges were several wrecks of Yangshan’s ships.
There seemed to be traces of battle visible.
“Are there enemies on the island?”
Liang Yuan speculated but did not immediately enter; instead, he quickly flew towards the warships in the blood sea.
“Boom!”
Liang Yuan landed on the deck with a heavy thud.
His gaze swept around; the deck was empty, but there were quite a few bone remains.
They looked like skeletons, but they were scattered.
Liang Yuan frowned, “How did the bones from the sea end up on the deck? Was it the wind and waves that brought them up?”
Liang Yuan took a deep breath, sensing the environment here was filled with oddities.
He strode toward the cabin.
His spiritual power swept over, finding the cabin empty, not a single person inside.
Liang Yuan noticed many traces of fighting on the ship’s railing and deck.
Even in the cabin, there were numerous scattered bones.
This conjured some images in Liang Yuan’s mind.
It seemed that many people had attacked the ship, and the Yangshan personnel had rapidly retreated to the island.
But where did the attackers go?
Whose bones were on the ground?
Were they enemies or Yangshan shelter people?
Suddenly Liang Yuan saw a clothed skeleton in the corner of the cabin.
The outfit was unmistakably a battle suit for Yangshan personnel.
Liang Yuan was taken aback, “This is a Yangshan person!”
He quickly walked over to examine the skeleton.
Rather than calling it a skeleton, it was more like a mummy.
The bones were still wrapped in skin, yet the blood and flesh were gone.
He lay on the ground, with no apparent fatal injuries visible, only some scratches, which should not have been fatal.
Liang Yuan rummaged through the uniform without finding any valuable clues.
Next, Liang Yuan found dozens of skeletons one after another.
Liang Yuan’s face turned grim.
Those accompanying Ling Yurong had been Yangshan’s elites.
Almost all were masters above the level of genetic species.
Any loss would be something Liang Yuan wished to avoid.
“So many died here, even with the gene recombination progress of Ling Yurong, how could there be so many casualties?”
Liang Yuan checked several ships and found many weapons left on them that had not been picked up, yet not a single living person on the ships.
Liang Yuan immediately flew to the island.
“I can only find Ling Yurong and the others to know what really happened.”
Liang Yuan thought rapidly as he followed the causality line into the island’s depths.
The island was quite large, comparable to Yangshan’s size back in the day.
Nonetheless, Liang Yuan’s speed was fast enough, and after a few minutes, he reached the end of the causality line.
What lay before him was astonishing.
At the bottom of a vast gorge were countless altars of varying sizes.
Human-shaped monsters were densely crawling below the altars, continuously bowing.
On top of the altars were the Yangshan crowd, bound and unconscious!
Liang Yuan instantly spotted Ling Yurong, Tu Long, and others.
All were unconscious, lying on the altars like corpses.
Below the altars, the humanoid monsters, some tall bodies covered with tumors.
Others were low and frog-like, with various bizarre forms.
Yet, they generally retained a human limb trunk shape.
These monsters continued chanting something.
With each chant, they would prostrate themselves, kowtowing toward the altar.
Liang Yuan neither understood their language nor the chanting’s content.
“What is the strength of these monsters? How did they capture Ling Yurong and the others?”
“Why are Ling Yurong and the others unconscious?”
Liang Yuan sensed oddities everywhere.
He did not act rashly, instead blending into the shadows near the cliff, his form merging with the darkness.
Activating the Hundred-Change Demon Ape Gene, simulating the dark attribute superpower, hiding in a shadow cluster.
The kneeling prayer went on for nearly half an hour, finally ending.
Afterward, the monsters stood up, running into nearby dark caves.
Witnessing this scene filled Liang Yuan with confusion.
What were these monsters exactly?
How could they coexist without seeming like one species?
What were they seeking as they kneeled for supplication?
The altars appeared unchanged.
Liang Yuan waited, perplexed, as the altar remained still, preparing to investigate further.
Suddenly, he noticed peculiar fog floating near the altar.
The fog was evidently abnormal and certainly not naturally formed.
Liang Yuan recognized it almost instantly.
He chuckled, “It seems not everyone was annihilated after all.”
The fog swiftly moved to a nearby altar, with hurried urging heard from within.
“Gu Feng, hang in there; we’ll rescue Ling Yurong and Tu Long immediately.”
“Captain Shi, hurry up. Once the altar changes even slightly, those monsters will detect it. If we can’t retreat instantly, we’ll never escape.”
Voices of Gu Feng and Shi Haizhu emerged from the fog.
Liang Yuan hearing this felt assured; Gu Feng and the others must have found a refuge elsewhere.
The fog concealed Shi Haizhu, who grasped Tu Long in one arm and lifted Ling Yurong with the other.
As soon as Tu Long and Ling Yurong’s bodies left the altar.
The altar suddenly flashed intensely.
A buzzing vibration echoed swiftly.
Instantly, countless angry roars rang from the surrounding cave networks.
Gu Feng panicked and cried out, “Quickly, let’s go!”
Shi Haizhu dared not linger, holding both bodies, quickly vanishing within the fog.
The fog carried Shi Haizhu, retreating swiftly.
Yet, the surrounding monsters had already been alerted, charging out with furious shouts from the caves.
Their sheer numbers could only be described as a swarm!
Within seconds, the gorge was surrounded by countless monsters.
