Chapter 3102 Strange“Let’s move further inland and see.” After saying that, Jared led Cloud and Quinley deeper into the
island.
Although the island was located deep within the Night Sea, its environment was unexpectedly
picturesque. The lush trees
provided ample shade, and the air was incredibly fresh, forming a stark contrast to the dark expanse of
the Night Sea..
Furthermore, birds occasionally flew overhead while chirping pleasantly, prompting Jared to wonder in
curiosity, Have
these birds been surviving on this all the while? After all, this island is entirely surrounded by the Night
Sea, and the
nearest mainland is likely thousands of kilometers away. Without any place for the birds to rest, the
journey seems nearly
impossible.
While venturing further into the island, Jared extended his spiritual sense to scan their surroundings
within several miles. If
there were anyone nearby, he would detect them immediately.
Meanwhile, deep within the island, six people sat in a circle under a massive tree several meters thick.
Among them was a
novelbinmiddle-aged. man with a face marked by hardship and melancholy.That person was none other than Cloud’s father and Stellaris Sect’s leader, Renault Seizon. They had
been left stranded
on the island since their
spirit ship capsized. “Old Mr. Seizon, we shouldn’t wander anymore.. This island is too strange. Too
many of our men have
gone missing, and we’ve completely lost contact with them.”
“That’s right. We shouldn’t walk aimlessly anymore. We started with over a dozen members in our
party, but the number
decreased as we traveled. Some of us just mysteriously disappeared without any of us realizing.”
“How scary! This island is terrifying.” The few Stellaris Sect disciples were overwhelmed by fear, no
longer daring to move
unnecessarily.
Renault also knitted his brows, seemingly lost in thought. This island is indeed bizarre. Originally, over
a dozen disciples
swam to this island with me, yet since we came ashore, they kept inexplicably disappearing one after
another. Not to
mention, there haven’t been any fights or sightings of demon beasts, so no one knows where these
missing disciples
went. Are they lost or kidnapped?Renault was caught between a rock and a hard place at that moment. If they stayed put under the tree,
even though they
didn’t need food and water and wouldn’t die, they might be trapped on the island forever.
Whenever he thought of Cosmic Sect ambushing them, rage churned within him. I can’t just wait for my
death in this
place!
“We cannot remain trapped here. We need to keep moving and find a way off this island. Let’s find
something to tie
ourselves to each other this time. I’m sure no one will get lost if we do this,” Renault said firmly.
Upon hearing that, the remaining Stellaris Sect disciples became panic-stricken.
“Old Mr. Seizon, we beg you. Please don’t wander around any further. It’s too scary!”
“There’s only so few of us left. If we keep moving, everyone might disappear!”
“We’d rather be trapped here than continue wandering.”
The Stellaris Sect disciples desperately pleaded with Renault, expressing their reluctance to continue
exploring the island.
Instead of living in dread and fear of vanishing. the disciples would rather be stuck in place.
Renault furrowed his brows at their cowardice. Although they were disciples of Stellaris Sect and were
supposed to obeyhis commands unconditionally, he fathomed they were currently experiencing a mental breakdown.
Therefore, their refusal
to comply with his orders was understandable.
“In that case, you all wait here while I scout the nearby area. I’ll send you a message every ten
minutes. If you don’t hear
from me, all of you will be on your own then.”
Renault decided to venture out on his own, not willing to sit by idly and wait for death. At that point, the
few Stellaris Sect
disciples didn’t dare speak further and could only pray for Renault’s safety.
However, just as Renault was about to take his leave, his body suddenly stiffened. He stood rooted to
his spot as if
paralyzed.
