Chapter 3106 The Altar

Chapter 3106 The AltarThereafter, Zordey, his men, and Montane Daemon also went ashore. Some of the cultivators chose to
stay on the beach,
while others began walking into the dense jungle. This group was hoping to get lucky in their search for
magical items.
As most of them were wandering cultivators who didn’t belong to any group specifically, they entered
the depths of the
island in teams of two to three.
Although some of them started to disappear inexplicably, no one felt alarmed by it, for they barely knew
each other.
In fact, they even suspected that someone was messing around in an effort to scare them so whoever
it was could take
the island’s magical items for themselves..
Meanwhile, Jared and his companions had arrived deep inside the island, which was a dark place due
to the towering
trees blocking off the sunlight.
“Mr. Chance, look!” Cloud yelled abruptly. Stopping in their tracks, Jared and the others trailed their
gaze along the
trajectory of Cloud’s finger. They were greeted by the sight of an altar formed from a bunch of rocks
piled together.“Why is there an altar here? From its battered condition, we can tell that someone must have come
here a long time ago,”
Renault commented as he stared at the altar.
“Come, let’s take a closer look. Be careful, everyone!” Jared proceeded to lead the group toward the
altar, which was a
few meters tall and covered in shrubs.
As it was built by piling some rocks together, it appeared incredibly simple. Surrounding the altar was a
path that gave one
access to the top.
Nonetheless, Jared and his companions could leap straight up, as it was only a few meters tall. Just as
Cloud was about
to do so, Jared stopped him.
“Don’t be reckless. Let’s take the stairs up first.”
It would be careless of Jared to allow Cloud to jump up there because he wasn’t sure if there were any
traps or dangers
lurking at the top.
“This altar looks really strange. Who in the world would build one on a far-flung island such as this?”
Renault remarked
with narrowed eyes and a quizzical look on his face. Despite the altar being barebones, its existence
on the island wasstill puzzling.
“We’ll ascend it one by one, and I’ll be the first to do so. All of you can come up once I make sure it’s
safe. On top of that,
don’t forget to tread on the very steps I take.”
Jared, too, was baffled by the existence of the altar on this uninhabited island.
“Mr. Chance, you shouldn’t be taking such risks. I’ll send one of my disciples instead.” Holding Jared
back, Renault
instructed one of his men, “You, go up there. Watch yourself while doing so.”
“Understood!” The disciple began to ascend the steps carefully. While everyone held their breath, ready
to react to any
eventualities, the disciple proceeded forward fearfully.
Nevertheless, nothing happened even as he finally reached the top of the altar.
“What’s up there?” Renault asked the disciple. However, the disciple simply stared blankly at the center
of the altar. It was
as if he was dumbfounded by a shocking sight
Without a moment’s hesitation, Jared ran up the steps while Renault and Cloud followed closely behind
with the other
novelbindisciples.No sooner had Jared stepped foot on the altar than he felt the appearance of an aura all around him.
The supposedly
empty forest, which was devoid of life a moment ago, was suddenly brimming with demon beast aura.
The turn of events baffled Jared, for he had no idea where the aura came from. There were no demon
beasts in sight in
the surroundings at all. When everyone arrived at the top, they were similarly left stunned.
One by one, their expressions froze as they stared at the center of the altar. Never in their wildest
dreams had they
expected to find something like that there
