Benbo

“Detected Dragon’s Blood, do you want to use it for this hero’s advancement?”

“Yes.”

“Murloc Hero: Benbo is currently advancing.”

Ji Chen looked at Benbo, gradually enveloped in a cocoon of blue light, and let out a slow breath.

Looking at the bottle containing the Blue Dragon Blood obtained from the elves in Vale, there was now less than half left.

Half was used for Benbo’s advancement, and the other half was allocated for enhancing the Dragon Blood Murloc unit. This was a distribution plan he had already thought out.

Not long after returning from Lienhardt, Ji Chen resurrected all the Tier 5 units that had died from the Resurrection Altar.

Looking at the army’s restored numbers, a smile couldn’t help but appear on his lips.

The Resurrection Altar was terrifying; it only required thousands of rare resources to resurrect a total of ten thousand units. From another perspective, every activation meant earning several million units of rare resources for free.

A real win.

Then, he recruited all the remaining unit recruitment balances from the past month.

In total, he recruited a whopping 4,024 units, bringing the total military strength to 12,868 units, equivalent to the size of about thirteen thousand-man teams!

Such expansion consumed a tremendous amount of resources. It used up a whopping 5,084,000 units of rare resources, which was more than two-fifths of the 12,000,000 units obtained from the elves in Vale.

However, when tens of thousands of troops were arrayed in front, with a spectacular sight stretching as far as the eye could see, the pride and sense of achievement brought about were difficult to put into words.

Only with an army of this size did he start to feel some genuine lordly sentiment.

Many subjects also gathered on the side, looking at this scene with awe. They shouted Ji Chen’s name, celebrating the growing strength of the Crown of the Ocean.

Especially for some residents who had arrived in the Crown of the Ocean very early, they were witnesses to the growth of this territory, from just over ten Murlocs to the current tens of thousands, all within a few months.

Each surging crisis had not led to the destruction of this territory, but had instead made it stronger.

This made everyone proud.

Unknowingly, the people’s loyalty had risen by a few points, reaching a total of 95 points.

“Ding- Detected that the loyalty of the territory has reached 95 points. The efficiency of the subjects’ work increases by 30%, their enthusiasm for learning increases by 50%, and the chances of a hero being born increase by 20%.”

Ji Chen was slightly surprised, feeling unexpected.

This high loyalty had many benefits. Now, the efficiency of the Crown of the Ocean’s residents was two to three times that of when loyalty was at 50 points, whether it was in planting or production speed.

Especially the increased chances of heroes being born, this was something that money couldn’t buy. Once the Hero Fountain was completed later, the two bonuses would stack up to a considerable chance.

Ji Chen ordered the other armies to disperse, leaving only the Dragon Blood Murlocs.

He used the remaining half bottle of Blue Dragon Blood for their advancement.

After using Dragon Blood, Dragon Blood Murloc (Tier 5, 3 stars) advances to Blue Dragon Murloc (Tier 5, 9 stars).

The momentum of more than two thousand Dragon Blood Murlocs evolving was extremely grand. Surging energy and the aura of dragons spewed out, creating waves around them.

The meat buns that had bulged on their heads now sprouted like bamboo shoots. A pair of ice-blue dragon horns, about thirty centimeters long, suddenly extended, exuding strands of icy aura, freezing the surrounding seawater into a thin layer of ice.

This was the natural ice power inherent in the Blue Dragon’s bloodline, inherited by the Blue Dragon Murlocs. The Murlocs, who originally could only inflict physical damage, now possessed some spellcasting abilities.

After evolution, the Dragon Blood Legion’s bodies differed significantly from before, becoming tall and muscular, resembling strong men. Apart from some fins and scales, there were no longer many Murloc characteristics on their bodies. They looked somewhat similar to half-dragon beings.

Just from the name change, it was evident that the Dragon Blood Legion had crossed the most crucial threshold on their path to becoming dragons. Previously, they were Murlocs with dragon blood in their bodies, but now they were genuine dragon-blooded creatures.

Looking at the formidable aura emanating from the more than two thousand Blue Dragon Murlocs, Ji Chen couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.

If he were to return to the time when the Sea Beast Tide attacked, he had confidence in leading the Dragon Blood Legion to fight in and out successfully.

While Benbo was advancing, Ji Chen instructed Herald to watch over him and headed to the sea east of the New Moon Islands.

“Kraken.”

He called out mentally, and within half a minute, a large bulge emerged on the sea’s surface. A massive octopus head suddenly emerged, and a gigantic octopus, the size of a mountain, rose to its feet.

“Do you have something for me?”

Kraken stared with its large eyes, two tentacles still coiled around a whale that had been partially devoured.

Ignoring the still-screaming whale, Ji Chen asked, “How are the tasks 1 instructed you to do?”

Kraken’s action of chewing the whale meat suddenly stopped, and its eyes visibly stiffened. It stammered, “Uh… Well, of course, I’ve already…”

Ji Chen watched Kraken, who looked extremely guilty, and his face suddenly turned cold.

In the following instant, the Kraken experienced an intense soul-deep agony, akin to countless man-eating sharks gnawing at its very essence, and it seemed as though it was engulfed in the searing flames of damnation.

Screech!

Its massive body rolled on the sea surface, causing waves and turbulent waters, and its mournful cries echoed throughout the entire sea area..
