Treasure Hunters, Sail the Blue Sea

Chapter 461 Pale Moon
The sky became pitch black, and the Milky Way that used to seem to be floating in the sky disappeared.The twinkling stars in the sky were also missing.

Even the shining stars that sometimes appear are still covered up, and in the sky tonight there is only a crescent moon hanging on the dark curtain.

This is the night Alka and the others have been waiting for.

When they saw this night, Alka and the others quickly left.He packed up his things, quickened his pace, and left the Demon Hunting Fortress.

It seemed very rushed.

This time they did not leave through the city wall, but left directly from the rear of the fortress and headed for the desolate wilderness.

Although this may take them some long detours, these long routes are not a problem for them.

They can also perform the rituals of the Power of the Moon in the fortress, but they perform such unexplained rituals in a place like the Demon Hunting Fortress that is relatively exclusive of all kinds of pagan beliefs and demons.

Easily open to suspicion and inquiry, although their reputation may allow them to avoid these things, but why bother.

And they themselves don't know how widespread this ritual will be.

So Alka and the others left quickly, 50 kilometers away from the fortress, and it was only half of the night.

It is the time when the moon in the sky is the brightest.

The sun does not move during the day, and the sky is as silent as water. Only at night can we feel the dynamics of the world's stars.

Ululius took out the treasure that could enhance the ritual that she had never mastered deeply.

The doll girls and Alka were busy around, preparing various materials and already carved statues.

The quick preparation took less than half an hour.

The entire ceremony has been prepared.

A magic circle with complicated incantations representing the moon, as well as prayers and incantations written in the language of the white crocodile are on the ground.

The grassland in this area had just been cleared by them when they arranged the ceremony. Alka even used the Earth Card and the Fire Card to reshape and burn this area into hard earth.

There are statues placed on the moon pattern above.

There are also various occult materials around.

Ululius then controlled the treasure and came to the edge of the ritual.

Seeing this situation, Xia Daiti took a deep breath, eased his emotions, and then reached the center of the magic circle.

After making a gesture similar to praying to the moon, he closed his eyes.

Alka blinked and began to observe the entire ceremony more deeply.

"Boundless darkness, heart-wrenching pain. It should come as night!"

"The white moon, the light of redemption. With admiration!"

"With the power of the moon, in the name of the moon..."

The incantation recited in the language of the white crocodile came from Ululius's mouth.

As the ceremony progressed, Xia Daiti's body shone with light as bright as the moon.

This light flickers out, bringing a sense of tranquility to everyone around it.

The mind becomes silent.

Even the senses have become extremely sharp, as if all the surrounding environment can be seen.

That feeling of clarity.

The flickering light began to converge on Xia Daiti's body again.

Then the light converged and shifted and appeared on Xia Daiti's face.

A white crescent moon appeared in the corner of her eye and cheek.

Such a crescent moon symbol is dotted on Xia Daiti's face, echoing her silver hair.

An inexplicable aura emanated from her body, which was calming.

Alka just watched the entire ceremony proceeding.

After the whole ceremony is over.

Alka's entire expression became as if she was constipated.

Jason, who had been standing next to Alka, didn't look at Alka until after the ceremony and noticed that something was extremely wrong with Alka's expression.

"What's going on? What's wrong with this ceremony?" Alka's expression was so misleading.

Jason's words attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone looked at Alka.

"It's nothing, I just feel... we can't blindly carry out religious worship."

Listening to Alka's sigh, everyone was a little confused.

Alka also explained: "We think the most important weather in the entire ceremony is this night." He also pointed to the sky.

Then he said seriously: "This is not important at all, because the entire ceremony has nothing to do with the moon in the sky."

In his eyes that had just seen through the secret, the entire ceremony did not involve the moon or the weather in the slightest.

That is to say, the so-called need to perform rituals under such circumstances is just a tedious link required by some religious beliefs.

To put it simply, this is a useless way for religion to improve its quality.

In fact, it has no substantial impact on the entire ceremony.

Although it still has the nature of moonlight, it has nothing to do with the moon in the sky.

Such a night sky will not bring any substantial improvement or effect, but more of people's admiration.

In other words, they have waited so long in vain, which means nothing.

In fact, after knowing it at that time, we could directly perform the ceremony and make Xia Daiti become the power of the moon.

After listening to Alka's explanation, everyone also felt a little uncomfortable.

It's really annoying to be wasted time for no reason.

But the problem is that if the ceremony does not take place, it is really impossible for them to guarantee that such a situation will not occur.

Because the whole ceremony is indeed related to the moon.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Now that the ceremony has been successful, the most important step has not yet begun."

Looking at everyone's bored expressions, Xia Daiti said with a smile.

Alka waved his hand directly, and a large mirror appeared at everyone's feet.Everyone rides on.

Alka controlled the mirror, and a green wind card appeared next to her.

Make the entire mirror fly quickly in the sky, like a magic carpet.

"Do you feel anything?"

Hearing Alka's question, Xia Detti frowned and shook his head.

"I don't feel anything, there's no change, except there's an extra pattern here."

As he spoke, Xia Daiti pointed to the white crescent mark printed on his cheek under his left eye.

Hearing this, Alka looked at her, and then touched the mark on her face, but felt nothing.

"It can't be said that there have been no changes. There have been some changes in your temperament. Well... you are more attractive?"

Alka thought for a while and said.

Lucilia, who was sitting on Alka's shoulder, nodded when she heard this, and everyone couldn't help but start chatting.

Just like what Alka said, it seems that such a change really happened.

But such a change obviously does not match the conditions of the entire ceremony and the materials required.

This ritual was obviously preparation for the treasure.

……

After a few days of fast flying, Alka and the others quickly arrived at the previous camp even after taking a long detour.

The simple camp they built before had long since turned into ruins.

It looked like it was caused by some kind of wild beast.

Not too many stops.

They came directly to the ruined temple where they left before.

"felt it."

As soon as she arrived here, Xia Detti immediately felt something different, and the crescent mark on her face also shone with a very faint white light.

It was still night at this time, but the night sky returned to its normal appearance.

After saying that, Xia Detti walked directly into the ruins.

Alka and the others followed in groups, a few people plus a large group of puppet girls Wu Yaya.

Skipping the ruins, they came directly to the statue they saw before.

Xia Detti stood beside the statue, gently closed his eyes, and raised his hands slightly after falling asleep.

There are no special effects or anything fancy.The statue in front of him began to slide slowly.

The entire statue moved backwards, and a staircase leading downward appeared in front of everyone. "Is there room down here?"

The person who asked the question was naturally Xia Daiti, who had explored this place before.

She had clearly explored here before. There was real soil below, and there was no so-called space.And now the reality appeared in front of her again, that is, there was a staircase leading down.

She hadn't even explored this stairway before.

Silver ripples appeared in front of everyone, clearly moving towards the stairs.

With the fluctuation, Xia Daiti's expression became a little surprised.

"It's amazing. It can't be scanned at all. It feels like dirt."

They had never seen anything like this before.

"Go down and have a look." Alka said.

With that said, everyone lined up a little and walked down the stairs.

It didn't take long, but I could feel that the depth of the stairs leading underground was about seven or eight meters.

As we walked down, a large empty area immediately appeared in front of us.

The entire area exudes a faint, soft glow, allowing them to clearly see the entire environment even if they are not using darkvision.

This is a place roughly the size of a football field.

Except for the pillars arranged in the center, the entire site is unusually wide, but also unusually empty.

"It seems... the construction hasn't been completed yet?" Simon said after looking around the entire area.

Whether it's a half-carved statue or a variety of utensils.All of them indicate that this place is still under construction.

Because they even saw a lot of materials piled in a corner not far away, and they could also see various tools piled up.

But there is one area in the entire site that has been completed, and that is the innermost area of ​​the entire site.

On an altar.

A ball with a faint soft light was floating gently like this.

Everyone looked at each other and walked slowly towards the altar.

As they got closer, they discovered that it was not a round ball, but a crescent-like ornament that was about the size of a palm.

The material of the jewelry is completely invisible. It is a bit similar to crystal and a bit like jade products.

The luminous ball is a phenomenon in which the light source it emits gathers, and then the concentrated light source is diffused.

In Alka's eyes, the crescent moon was surrounded by an orange border.

This is the one treasure they need.

Simon stretched out his hand, driven by curiosity, wanting to touch it.

Alka immediately stopped him.

"Don't touch it, there are still protective measures here."

It's talking about the ball of light emitted by the crescent moon.

After speaking, he turned to look at Xia Daiti.

The meaning is self-evident.

Xia Detti took a deep breath.Slowly he reached out his hand and gently touched the surface of the light group emanating from it.

He was not attacked, and then he reached in with confidence, held the crescent moon in his hand and took it out.

The ball of light was still floating there.

Xia Detti looked at the crescent moon in his hand. It was like an ordinary decoration, without any difference.

The restrained nature of the treasure comes into play again.

But the crescent moon symbol on her cheek kept shining.

"Is the treasure suitable?" Alka asked from the side.

After all, the protagonist of the entire ceremony is Xia Daiti.

Xia Daiti channeled his magic power into the treasure, and the crescent moon shone brightly.The markings on his face echo each other.

After doing all this, Xia Detti said: "Not only is it suitable, but it is also inexplicably suitable, but it shouldn't be so suitable."

It was a very strange feeling.

"It seems that this is the effect of the ceremony. After all, such a complicated ceremony requires all those materials. It can't just add a little charm." Ululius said next to him.

It seems that there is nothing to argue about this treasure, it was Xia Dai who mentioned it.

So when this treasure was mastered by Xia Daiti, Xia Daiti was also equivalent to gathering all the treasures.

What follows is a long wait, I don’t know if I will ever meet a red treasure in this life.

"Master it."

Xia Daiti nodded, closed his eyes again, and input magic power into the crescent moon.

When the magic power was input into the crescent moon, the moon fluctuations emitted actually pushed Alka and the others away.They were not allowed to come over, which resulted in them having to stay slightly away, pushing out a circular space of about five or six meters for Xia Daiti.From this space, you can see the light of the crescent moon shining just right here.

Then they saw the crescent moon integrating into Xia Daiti's body, and everyone could even see where the crescent moon integrated into.It moved to the crescent mark under Xia Daiti's eye.

It became the white crescent mark.

When Xia Daiti opened his eyes after mastering the treasure.

Those strange eyes emitted a faint white light, and her eyes seemed to turn into the night sky.

Real night sky.

Twinkling stars, dotted crescent moon.

Everyone who was stared at by this gaze inexplicably stayed where they were.

Because their souls are silenced.

The silence of their hearts made them suddenly peaceful and unwilling to move.

Xia Daiti immediately closed his eyes and slightly restrained the power, and everyone suddenly realized it, feeling like waking up from a dream.

"Awesome." Pororo couldn't help but say.

Because this kind of ability is still suitable for Xia Daiti.

And this is obviously not a main function, it is just an incidental feature.

"How about the feeling this treasure brings."

"It's very suitable, very interesting." Xia Detti said with a smile.

As she spoke, she directly raised her right hand, then held it in the air and pulled it down.

It was as if a rope had been pulled down from the sky.

Of course there is a ceiling above them.

But just like that, a ray of moonlight was cast on the ceiling area.

The moonlight shone on everyone.

There was the feeling of being cleansed in the soul that I had experienced before.

"This kind of moonlight can calm the mind and wash away the poison of the mind, relieve the pain of the mind, and resist any pain related to the mind." Xia Daiti said about his ability.

After speaking, the white light of the moon appeared on her body.

The white light stuck to her body, and after the moon passed by, equipment actually appeared on her body.

Pure silver armor as white as the moon was constructed on her body. It was a complete set of armor.

It looks very beautiful, like a work of art.

The moonlight gathered into various weapons and equipment in her hands, and could condense into silver entities.

Like a real metal sword.

It's a pity that Xia Detti likes to use his bare hands to attack.

"This is a power that can be used temporarily. If you want to truly master it, you have to become familiar with it before you can fully know how to use it."

Xia Detti said after using his ability for a while.

But what is basically certain is that what this treasure brought to Xia Daiti was spiritual power.

And it has strong plasticity.

Correspondingly, if such moonlight is used to attack, it can also cause impact and damage to the enemy's mind.

It can also provide a wide range of psychic benefits to surrounding allies.

I just don’t know whether fighting during the day and fighting at night can obtain different bonus effects.

After all, it seems to be related to the moon, so it may be able to exert more powerful power at night.

Of course, this is just Alka's guess. The specific effect can only be known after Xia Daiti masters it himself.
