Chapter 717 - 717 714 Sherrys Abnormality

?Chapter 717: Chapter 714: Sherry’s Abnormality Chapter 717: Chapter 714: Sherry’s Abnormality As the team delved deeper inland of the “Holy Land Island,” the surrounding environment became increasingly quiet—gone were the sounds of the wind, and there were no traces of birds or the rustle of streams. An unusual stillness was congealing in the mist, enveloping the team from above.

However, this extreme quietness brought even greater uneasiness. When the sounds that nature should make had completely faded away, the thought that “this island is alive” began to uncontrollably take over. Sherry always felt as if there were eyes on her through the fog, as if the island itself was observing and scrutinizing the uninvited guests that had intruded upon it, and the mist that slowly drifted around the team… it seemed to be gradually taking on the flavor of a “watcher.”

And the team continued to venture deeper, heading towards the “dig site” that had emerged in Sherry’s mind.

After leaving the port area, there was a narrow pathway leading to the center of the island, which seemed to be a route the heretics of the island had carved out long ago—it was situated between two pitch-black rock walls, with no signs or markers on the path. Down the sides of the path where it met the rock walls, one could occasionally spot clusters of mysterious black rocks, like crystals.

Duncan couldn’t help but be drawn to those black “rock clusters.” These “clusters” were not uncommon on the island, and on the cliffs on the western side of the island, there were even larger clusters of rocks “growing” everywhere. They were akin to some strange form of “plant” emerging from the earth and the cliffs, piquing one’s curiosity about their formation process.

Even with Maurice’s vast knowledge, it seemed impossible to explain these “rock clusters” from a purely geological perspective… but considering the entire island was “alive,” as Sherry had described, it wasn’t so surprising that such peculiar things were present.

Perhaps these oddly shaped stones truly did “grow” from the island, like some sort of secretion from ancient deities.

A few marines, under Amber’s command, were carefully collecting samples of the “rock clusters,” scraping off plenty of dark, powdery substance from the nearby rock walls. They stored these “Holy Land Island samples” cautiously in blessed metal canisters, which were kept by designated individuals in the team.

Along the way, they had been performing similar tasks in such a well-coordinated manner that it hardly slowed the team’s progress, clearly indicating that this wasn’t their first time doing so.
