nTranslator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

nAfter a few minutes, the sounds of battle subsided.

nJi Chen glanced at the progressing experience bar and gestured for the natives to continue moving forward.

n“Ah? Oh, yes, my lord,” the bewildered native responded, swallowing hard and quickly obeying.

nTheir astonishment lingered, for in their understanding, even the most skilled warriors in the tribe would meet a fatal end against the swarm of Razor Jaw Flying Fish. Yet before their eyes, their newly loyal Lord had effortlessly annihilated them all without any casualties.

nWhat kind of extraordinary power was this?

nThe chieftain s decision seemed wise and correct. Refusal would have likely led them to the same fate as those Razor Jaw Flying Fish.

nJi Chen remained oblivious to the inner thoughts of the natives. Even if he knew, he would only wear a knowing smile.

n…..

nThose who refused to submit would not face such severe consequences, but their fate would resemble that of the Kobold Tribe.

nThe first subsidiary island was within reach, and after docking the canoe, Ji Chen instructed the natives to wait while he led his army towards the island.

nThey began circling the island’s perimeter.

nOn the muddy shores, several marine creatures basked lazily in the sun.

nSeizing the opportunity, Ji Chen dispatched them one by one.

nAfter completing a full circle, he had a rough idea of the size and terrain of the island.

nThe subsidiary island had an oval shape and was only about one-tenth the size of the main island, spanning around ten square kilometers. The surrounding areas consisted of mudflats, while the center was occupied by a large forest.

nHowever, the creatures within the forest remained unknown.

nOnce he had a better understanding, Ji Chen found an entry point and ventured into the thick vegetation, making his way towards the central area. Although the forest was dense, he only encountered small animals such as rabbits and foxes, without any larger predators like wolves or leopards. This indicated that it was not a reliable source of food and had limited developmental value, considering its considerable distance from the main territory.

nAs they delved deeper, they soon arrived at the island’s central location.

nBefore their eyes lay an open clearing amidst the trees.

nIn the middle of the clearing stood an ancient and rustic altar. Resting atop the altar was a treasure chest, emanating a mesmerizing allure with its twinkling starlight.

nJudging by its appearance, it was at least a 2-star-rated treasure chest.

nHowever, Ji Chen did not move. Instead, he took two steps back warily and had the soldiers surround him tightly.

nThis was because there were dozens of red dots surrounding the altar on the Omniscience map.

n1 le was certain of one thing.

nOnce he approached the altar directly, these hidden monsters would instantly emerge and deliver a deadly blow.

nHowever, upon closer inspection, there was nothing at the locations indicated by the red dots on the map. Not even a stone or a patch of grass could be seen.

nThere was simply nothing to hide.

nCould it be… underground?

nWith this possibility in mind, he waved his hand, summoning a Murloc.

nA Murloc promptly stepped forward.

nSwish-

nThe trident was swiftly thrown

nits tip forcefully pierced into the soil.

n“Ding- You have alerted a group of burrowing dragon lizards.”

n“…Engage in battle… Our overall morale is at 70 points…”

nThe soil suddenly arched, and thirty to forty humanoid-sized horned lizards emerged from the ground. Their blood-red eyes were filled with confusion and anger.

nWho disturbed their slumber!?

nJi Chen’s gaze fixed upon them as the panel information of these horned lizards appeared before his eyes.

nI Earth-drilling Dragon LizardJ

nLevel: 10 J

nTier: 3, 2 stars

nSkill: Rampage (blue skill, can use the hard horn on the head to attack the enemy)

nCuticular Scaly Armor (Blue skill, the thick cuticular layer on the back can provide powerful defense)

nBurrow (Green skill, able to burrow into the ground to hide)

nMilitary characteristic: Eat soil (can survive by eating soil and rocks)

nA lizard with some dragon bloodline. The hard horn on its head cannot be underestimated.

nJi Chen’s expression was a little strange. He didn’t know what to say.

nIt was not because of the strength of these monsters, but because of their species.

nJust how many new creatures did that giant dragon have? First, it was the Kobolds, then the Ear th-drilling Dragon Lizard. They really didn’t discriminate when it came to mixing different species.

nWas this what they called “The Miserable Gale of the Dragon”?

nIf he had met these dragon lizards before, he would have turned and fled without hesitation.

nBut now, he had the shallow sea Murlocs and the Naga warriors, all of whom were third-tier units.

nHis confidence swelled within him.

nHe faced these fierce dragon lizards without any fear.

nHowever, he was also curious about the altar and the treasure chest atop it.

nBeing guarded by so many formidable dragon lizards, it couldn’t be something worthless. Perhaps it would bring him some surprises.

nHe raised his arm and gave the command, and his troops launched their attack.

nThe sea pixies wielded their staves, and powerful water arrows filled with intense energy shot out.

nBoom-

nExplosions erupted, splashing water in all directions.

nHowever, the burrowing dragon lizards seemed completely unharmed. The horny layer covering most of their bodies only showed slight damage, barely breaking their defenses.

nThe water arrows were ineffective!

nThis was because the level difference between the Sea Pixies and the Earth-drilling Dragon Lizard was too great. There was a total of 9 stars between them.

nUnder the overwhelming suppression of their tier difference, the damage was significantly reduced.

nHowever, Ji Chen didn’t expect the sea pixies’ attacks to have much effect. The main force in this battle was still the Naga warriors and the Murlocs.

n“The sea pixies will continuously launch water arrows for harassment.”

n“The Murlocs will throw tridents to inflict ranged damage on the enemy.”

nThe Naga warriors will hold the front line!’1

n“Alice, provide support with your singing at any time.”

nJi Chen remained calm, issuing his orders methodically.

nUpon hearing his commands, the morale of the troops soared, and they quickly acted accordingly.

nAt the same time, the burrowing dragon lizards on the opposing side also launched their attack.

nCoiling their slender bodies into a circular shape, they charged forward like a steamroller, moving at incredible speed.

nThey kicked up countless tufts of grass and clouds of dust.

nThe hardened horns on their heads became deadly weapons at such speed, capable of penetrating armor.

nFaced with this situation, the Murlocs didn’t hesitate to hurl their tridents.

nClang—

nA loud metallic collision rang out.

nThe tridents bounced off the hard cuticle and scales and stabbed into the ground.

nHowever, the first wave of Earth-drilling Dragon Lizards was also shaken by the huge force contained in it, making them dizzy and swaying.

n…..

nThis wave of tridents forced more than a dozen Earth-drilling Dragon Lizards to stop.

nHowever, the rest of the Earth-drilling Dragon Lizards had already rolled to the front of the formation.

nThe hard horn, which was terrifying because of its speed, was even more lethal than a sword.

nHowever, the Naga warriors were like mountains, standing motionless at the front.

nTheir eyes were cruel and cold.

nIt was as if they would not waver even if a huge rock rolled over from the opposite side.

nThey stabbed their two blades into the ground and exerted strength with both arms.

nThe hard horns and the bone blades collided violently.

nDong—

nThe Earth-drilling Dragon Lizards were sent flying and fell heavily on the ground. They struggled to get up.

nThe Naga warriors leaned back, and a visible dent could be seen on the bone blades, but other than that, there was no obvious damage.

nAt a glance, both sides seemed to have tied in this round.

nBut in Ji Chen s eyes, the Naga Warriors had won.

nThis was because the Earth-drilling Dragon Lizard s most powerful attack had not worked. It had already used up all three of its axes. How could they defeat him?

n“Roar!”

nThe Naga warriors roared at the sky as if they wanted to vent all the anger in their hearts.

nThe snake’s tails wriggled quickly, leaving a deep groove in the soil.

nThey waved the bone blades that were sharper than ordinary metal swords.

nThey suddenly chopped at the enemies.

nSla –

nThe Earth-drilling Dragon Lizards that were struggling on the ground instantly had two huge wounds.

nAnother slash.

nA huge lizard’s head flew into the air.

nThe struggling body gradually lost its response, leaving only occasional spasms..
