nChapter 53: Hero Altar

nTranslator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

nThe first wave of Earth-drilling Dragon Lizards that rushed up were slaughtered by the Naga warriors.

nBlood rained down, accompanied by fragments of flesh, splattering the ground, the altar, and even the trees several meters away.

nThe scene was gruesomely bloody.

nJi Chen smacked his lips and took a few steps back in disgust to prevent blood from splattering all over his face.

nNaga warriors were fierce fighters, but they tended to go wild in battle, often turning the scene into a gory dismemberment site.

nMeanwhile, the burrow lizards, initially pushed back by the tridents, regained their composure.

nSeeing their comrades being mercilessly slaughtered, they immediately coiled their bodies, ready to charge once more.

n…..

nHowever, they had no further opportunity to strike.

nJi Chen’s patience with their performance had worn thin.

nHe raised his arm and called out.

nThe enchanting voice of Alice filled the air, causing the burrow lizards, with their physical defense but no resistance to spells, to freeze in place.

nTheir attempt to coil their bodies was interrupted.

nLeaving their vulnerable underbellies exposed.

nSeizing this golden opportunity, the Murlocs swiftly hurled their tridents once again.

nNo matter how powerful a creature may be, there are always weak points.

nThe back of the Earth-drilling Dragon Lizard was covered with hard cuticles and scales, which were enough to withstand the damage of swords and sabers.

nHowever, its abdomen was very fragile, and it was only covered with a layer of soft skin.

nEven an average person wielding a sword could easily pierce through it.

nAnd the tridents of the murlocs, designed to tear through metal and rock, were even more formidable.

nIn the blink of an eye, the tridents found their mark.

nWith a muffled thud, the weapons penetrated their bodies.

nThe trident stabbed into the Earth-drilling Dragon Lizard’s abdomen. The sharp tip of the trident almost completely sank into its body, crushing and tearing its soft internal organs.

nThe trident flew back with a splash of blood.

nThe tridents forcefully plunged into the underbellies of the burrow lizards, their sharp tips almost completely piercing their bodies, shredding and crushing their soft internal organs.

nThe tridents were flung back, leaving a trail of blood in their wake.

nThe triangular barbs on the trident tips caused secondary damage, enlarging the original wounds several times over.

nShattered organs and blood flowed out like water.

nSuch injuries brought swift death to the burrow lizards, nearly instantaneously.

nAfter a brief whimper, they became completely motionless, only sporadic unconscious twitching of their nerves remained.

nThey were dead beyond measure.

nThe Earth-drilling Dragon Lizards were either stabbed to death or killed by the Naga warriors who came after them.

nAfter the last one was cut into two by the Naga warrior.

nThe notification of the end of the battle sounded.

n“Ding – You have obtained a glorious victory. You have received 2800 experience points.”

n“Sea Pixie leveled up (5—6).”

nAfter many days of fighting, the Sea Pixies had already reached Level 6.

nHowever, it was a level behind the Murlocs and Naga warriors.

nJi Chen shook his head and let out a sigh, realizing how quickly the sea pixie had fallen behind, struggling to inflict significant damage on these Dragon Lizards.

nIt seemed that he had to find a wave of resources to strengthen and upgrade the Sea Pixies.

nIn terms of potential, the Sea Pixies were not bad.

nAfter all, it was magic damage.

nJust a noble mage profession, coupled with the characteristic of not needing food, was enough for him to spend some effort to cultivate.

nHe looked at his experience bar.

nLevel 7 88%

/ioo%

nYes, he was close to Level 8.

nNot just himself.

nApart from the Sea Pixies, the experience bars of the other troops were also reaching the end of their level.

nHe would probably be able to level up after one or two more battles.

nBefore reaching level 10, leveling up was relatively easier.

nAs the level increased, the required experience also grew, making it more challenging to level up.

nHe set a small goal.

nBefore setting sail on the pirate ship, he aimed to reach level 10!

nHe once again checked the map.

nConfirming the absence of any hidden creatures, he ascended the altar and turned his gaze toward the treasure chest.

nUnlocked Treasure Chest

nLevel: 2 stars

nThere seems to be something inside.

nWithout any hesitation, he opened it.

n“Ding ~ You have obtained Murloc Ranger Recruiting Camp Core (Tier 2 5 Star) x2.”

nThe core of the recruitment camp for a tier 2 5-star soldier?

nAnd two!

nThis was the first time he had obtained a military recruitment camp core from a treasure chest.

nThinking back, the first treasure chest he obtained was the Resource Detection Tower Blueprint, the second was the Crown of Omniscience, and the third treasure chest was temporarily put on hold because he did not have the key.

nAnd this is the fourth treasure chest he encountered in the first place.

nHis luck was pretty good.

nJi Chen casually took out one of the cores and looked at the stats panel of the army.

nMurloc Ranger

nRace: Murloc

nLevel: 5

nTier: 2, 5 stars

nSkill: Spine stab attack (blue skill, can use muscles to press the long spikes on the spine, causing them to shoot out)

nShallow Sea Cruise (Green Skill, Able to Enter Cruise State, Greatly Increases Swimming Speed)

nScent ‘Fracking (Green skill, extremely sensitive sense of smell, able to track enemies over long distances by relying on scent)

nMilitary characteristic: conservative (will not leave the territory, has a strong sense of territory)

nThe second-tier 5-star units might not keep up with the strength of his first-tier units, but they were still considered decent troops.

nFrom their skills and characteristics, they were more suitable for guarding the territory.

nThis meant that the Murloc Rangers could protect the territory, watch over the Kobold inhabitants, and patrol the islands.

nThis would completely free up the pirates, allowing them to focus on their designated tasks.

nSatisfied, Ji Chen closed the panel and shifted his gaze to the altar beneath his feet.

n…..

nThis altar was clearly not an ordinary object.

nRather than saying there was an altar and a treasure chest, it was more accurate to say that the treasure chest was simply an accompanying gift to this altar.

nLooking again, at the edge of the altar stood twelve stone pillars, intricately carved with strange symbols and patterns.

nThey appeared both ancient and exuded a sense of sacredness.

nThe floor beneath his feet was also marked with orderly lines, forming a pattern resembling a magical array.

nIt commanded respect and evoked a sense of awe in anyone who beheld it.

nHero Altar

nLevel: Special

nEffect: After activation, it will randomly summon a blue outstanding hero with both aptitude and potential.

nActivation cost: 3000 units of Mithril, 3000 units of Crystal, 3000 units of Adamantine

nRemark: Self-destruct after activation

n!!!

nHe widened his eyes in astonishment.

nWhat a valuable find!

nIt was an altar that could summon heroes!

nWhether it was a hero for battle or for governance, it didn’t matter.

nAs someone who had Alice, he understood the immense significance of having a Blue-Rank Excellent hero.

nOne powerful hero could surpass a thousand soldiers.

nPerhaps it was an exaggeration, but there was no denying the tremendous advantages it would bring to the development of his territory.

nHowever, as he looked at the resource requirements for activation, he furrowed his brow.

nWhile 3000 units of Mithril was not a small amount, he could acquire that much from two mini Mithril mines in a short time.

nBut the real challenge lay in the two advanced resources: Crystal and Fine Gold.

nWhere could he possibly find such a large quantity of high-level resources?

nWas he supposed to go and snatch them?

n
