nAfter a brief circling, they swiftly plunged downward like rockets.

nThey aimed to peck through the heads of these enemies who had killed their offspring, to suck their brain marrow and devour their flesh and blood!

nBuzz—

nAs the giant seagulls descended, a series of piercing and mournful sounds resonated. Their sharp beaks seemed capable of tearing through the air, while their wings created trails of white airflow.

nDozens of giant sharp-beaked seagulls plunged together, creating a spectacular and dangerous scene. Their momentum seemed capable of cracking rocks!

nIf they managed to seize a target, their bodies would likely be torn apart in an instant, with bones and flesh shattered.

n“Shall I take action, My Lord?” Alice asked in a low voice.

nJi Chen gently shook his head, his face displaying a slight smile.

nHe looked up at the approaching giant seagulls, raising his right hand slightly.

nThe energy of the spell began to surge, thickly permeating the platform.

nThe flow of water from one side of the waterfall, as if being pulled by an invisible force, gathered above their heads, defying gravity.

nUnder the sunlight, the water refracted slanting beams of light, creating a somewhat dreamlike ambiance.

nWith a slight movement of Ji Chen’s finger, the water coalesced into a thick water shield, enveloping the entire army.

nAt this moment, the giant sharp-beaked seagulls finally plummeted from the sky.

nTheir beaks, harder than metal and sharper than knives, pierced the water shield.

nHowever, contrary to their expectations, they couldn’t penetrate the water shield. Instead, they became stuck as if glued, their beaks and claws frozen within it.

nNo matter how they struggled, they could not move at all.

nJi Chen raised his right hand.

nIn the next moment, the water shield underwent a shocking change.

nFrom defense to attack.

nHundreds of water spikes shot out from the smooth surface of the water and pierced through the giant seagull’s body from all directions.

nUnder the sunlight, the water spikes mixed with blood pierced through the flesh, emitting a strange light. It actually carried a touch of bewitching and strange beauty.

nAs for the giant seagulls, they were naturally dead.

n“Ding ~ You have killed a flock of Giant Sharp-beaked Seagulls. Obtained 9800 experience points. Your level has increased (12->13).”

nThe entire battle lasted less than a minute. The giant sharp-mouthed seagulls, which could cause a destructive blow to ordinary soldiers, were turned into corpses in the blink of an eye without any resistance.

nJi Chen’s formidable strength was fully revealed at this moment.

nOverbearing, silent, and domineering.

nThe tier 3 5-star troops were killed like chickens, without any resistance.

nThe Naga warriors roared and celebrated their master’s victory.

nThe Murlocs raised their tridents and shouted excitedly.

nThe Sea Pixies danced around, venting their joy.

nEach hero had their own expression.

nAlice’s eyes sparkled with a mixture of love, worship, infatuation, and intoxication. Only such a lord could make her wholeheartedly offer her body and soul.

nOn the other hand, Anina’s face was filled with shock and astonishment. She muttered that this method of killing was much faster than her slashing using a sword.

nHowever, Benbo suddenly walked out and stood in front of Ji Chen.

nHis tone was very sincere, and his expression and actions were extremely exaggerated.

n“My Lord, your power is truly awe-inspiring. With the might of the ocean, the wisdom that reaches the heavens, and a heart as deep as the sea, you possess unparalleled greatness. It is our utmost privilege to serve under your command and be counted among your loyal followers! Under your leadership, the Crown of the Ocean will undoubtedly become the most formidable dominion, and all beings shall bow before your authority.”

nEveryone was stunned.

nGood heavens, you thick-browed, big-eyed murloc. You look silly, but you actually know how to flatter me like this!?

n“You bootlicker,” Anina whispered.

nHowever, Benbo did not seem to care.

nAll of you youngsters should learn more from the wisdom of the elderly.

nJi Chen was stunned for a moment before he smiled. “Alright, alright, stop flattering me. Deal with these giant seagulls and cook the eggs inside.”

n“Everyone, move back first.”

nHearing this, all the troops immediately retreated a distance according to the order.

nUpon seeing this, he casually waved his hand, interrupting the transfer of magical energy. The water shield, no longer supported by magic, instantly disintegrated into scattered puddles, causing the giant seagulls, already transformed into sieves, to fall to the ground with a loud “thud”.

nThe troops approached and began to deal with them.

nHalf an hour later, beside the fire roasting the small seagulls, more than ten larger bonfires were set up, each with stripped giant seagulls hanging from them, evenly heated by the rotating Naga warriors.

nWell, now all the big and small ones are together in one pot.

nIt’s better this way, so they won’t feel lonely.

nHe, Ji Chen, was a kind-hearted person who naturally reunited them, albeit in his own belly.

nRoasting takes some time, so Ji Chen turned around and walked back into the building.

nJust now, the search was interrupted halfway, so he continued searching.

nHowever, after rummaging through the grass, dead branches, and bones scattered all over the place, he didn’t find anything valuable. It was all just garbage that seagulls used to build their nests.

nJust as he was feeling somewhat disheartened.

nThe torch in his hand suddenly burst into flames, sending sparks flying and expanding the illuminated area.

nOut of the corner of his eye, he noticed that there seemed to be something on the surrounding walls.

nHe lifted the torch, squinted, and saw some rock paintings on the walls.

nAfter taking a few glances, Ji Chen felt somewhat surprised.

nThis seemed to be…Was it left behind by the old civilization of the New Moon Islands?

nThere seemed to be something recorded on it…

nHe calmed down and continued to stare.

nCivilization…Prosperous… Enemies…Evolution…Destruction…

nTen minutes later.

nAfter Ji Chen finished looking at the last rock painting on the wall, he let out a deep breath and had a general understanding of it.

nIt was uncertain how long ago, but there was indeed a thriving civilization in the New Moon Islands. They built a prosperous and powerful society here, extending their influence to dozens of islands in the nearby sea.

nJust as everything seemed to be progressing favorably, a new threat emerged from the depths of the ocean. Detailed rock paintings depicted various enemies that had appeared, including one that Ji Chen recognized—the Sea Heir, a peculiar creature capable of evolving. This civilization initially resisted, but relentless targeted evolution by the Sea Heirs gradually compressed their living space.

nThey lost nearby islands first, and then the invasion reached the New Moon Islands, breaching their defense lines one after another. The remaining survivors sought refuge on this mountain peak, hoping to withstand the onslaught. To their horror, the Sea Heirs emerged from the water, ending their desperate resistance.

nThese rock paintings were the final remnants of this once-thriving civilization. Ji Chen’s heart grew heavy as he realized that it was the Sea Heirs, not some catastrophe, that led to their downfall. He understood the need for increased vigilance against this mysterious race.

nAlmost a month had passed since their last encounter with the Sea Heirs, and Anina’s predictions suggested that the Sea Heirs had regrouped, becoming more numerous and powerful. The next wave of Sea Heirs could be Tier 3 or even Tier 4 creatures.

nJi Chen felt a sinking sensation in his heart, realizing the importance of unlocking new technologies and strengthening their forces. After a short break, the group resumed their ascent along the cliff, determined to explore the pinnacle of the mountain—the dragon’s nest..
