The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

Chapter 19

There were about forty ugly creatures with fangs in their mouths.

They weren’t muscular, but they were very skinny. They held iron spears in their hands and had short spears hanging on their backs.

There were also dolls made of skulls and vines hanging on them.

[Shallow Water Troll]

[Level: 5]

[Tier: 2, 4-star]

[Skill: Berserk (green skill, increases attack speed and movement speed after being attacked, ignores pain, the effect lasts until the end of the battle)]

Poison (Green skill, smears poison on the weapon, causing the enemy to suffer poison damage)

Spear Throw (White skill, hurling a short spear to cause intense penetrating damage)

[Military characteristic: Voodoo (Shallow Water Trolls believe in voodoo)]

[I want to make you into a voodoo doll!]

Ji Chen’s eyelids twitched.

There were as many as 40 Tier 2, 5-Star, and Level 5 Trolls!

In an instant, a wave of pressure assaulted him.

Without much hesitation, Ji Chen left the treasure chest and the neutral recruitment camp with the Murlocs.

He planned to come back and claim them later. As he was leaving, he couldn’t resist making a threatening remark, “Humph, I’ll bring Alice here tomorrow. I’ll kill all of you then!”

They retraced their steps and resumed their sweep through the jungle.

After two days of cleaning and sweeping, the wild beasts and monsters within a kilometer of the territory were almost cleared.

Ji Chen instructed the Murlocs to take care of the last python in a group of snakes, and when it was done, he turned to them and saw that they were all stunned.

The system notification sounded.

‘Ding ~ The battle has ended. You have obtained a glorious victory.’

[You have received 50 EXP. You have leveled up (2→3). Current EXP is [5%/100%].]

[Your River Murloc has leveled up (2→3). Current EXP is [5%/100%].]

Ji Chen took a deep breath as he felt his body grow stronger.

If his body’s overall strength was 1 when he first entered the game, it was now 1.2. His strength, stamina, speed, and other aspects had all improved a lot. He felt that his body was better than ever.

Not only that, but he also felt that his vitality was much stronger than before as if he had endless strength.

It seemed that the level was not just a numerical value. The digital representation of the game also represented the increase in vitality and strength.

If he could reach level 30, level 40, or even higher, he might become as strong as Superman. It was not impossible for him to live to 150.

Let the Murlocs carry some edible prey back to the territory.

The residents cheered again.

Compared to the first day, the territory had become more prosperous.

He opened the territory panel with interest.

[Crown of the Ocean] (Eliminate the invasion of wild beasts and monsters within 7 days. Time remaining: 3 days 6 hours 24 minutes)

[Overlord: Ji Chen]

[Prosperity: 727/100]

[Popular sentiment: 71 (support)]

[Territory Special Building: Jungle Plantation (Not yet built)]

His Prosperity had already reached 727 points, exceeding the 627 points required for a Level 1 village!

Ji Chen was surprised, but he soon realized what was going on.

In the past few days, he had subdued the Cave Miners, occupied three resource points, and built many buildings.

Just by obtaining Alice, a Blue Excellent Hero, he could obtain a considerable amount of prosperity.

Moreover, the 71 points of popular support were also one of the reasons why he had obtained so much prosperity.

The territory might not have a lot of fish and meat now, but at least they did not have to worry about food and drink for the time being. Moreover, there were no wild beasts or monsters around.

Therefore, the morale of the people naturally lifted.

He was already quite satisfied with this development speed.

On a broken island, it could develop to this extent in three days.

It was enough. He didn’t need to do more.

In contrast, many other territories and players were still struggling with basic needs like food and clothing.

So, it was impressive that Ji Chen had achieved such progress in the early stages of the island.

The next morning.

After Ji Chen had a simple breakfast, he went to the empty space next to the lord’s residence. A new pond that was four to five meters deep had been built there yesterday.

Alice lived in the pool for the time being.

The moment he arrived, a black shadow swiftly surfaced, causing water to splash everywhere.

The Siren girl’s beautiful fishtail swayed gently as she propped herself up on the edge of the pool, extending her hand to him with a joyful expression.

With a smile, Ji Chen lifted her out of the pool and felt the delicate touch of her transformed legs in his hands.

Today’s mission was clear: head to the Gray Stone Forest, defeat the Shallow Water Trolls, and occupy the Neutral Military Recruitment Camp.

Alice had adapted to walking on land after a day of practice and was now able to move freely.

With Alice’s participation in the battle, he had absolute confidence in capturing that place!

They trudged through the jungle.

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the stone forest.

The trolls were either sitting around and talking to each other or lying lazily on the beach to bask in the sun.

They had no idea that a disaster was about to befall them.

Ji Chen waved his hand, and the Murlocs charged at the giant demons that were resting there.

“Ding ~ You have entered combat mode. Morale assessment in progress. The Lord of your side leads the army, morale +10. Number disadvantage, morale -10. Level disadvantage, morale -2.

Level disadvantage, morale -3. Hero Commander, Morale +15.”

“The morale of our River Murlocs is at 60 points. We have entered an advantageous state.”

Hero leadership was indeed different. It directly increased morale by 15 points and forcefully reversed the disadvantage in many aspects!

The Trolls became aware of the Murlocs charging towards them and responded with angry roars, grabbing their spears and preparing to take down the audacious attackers.

A great battle was about to break out.

Ji Chen looked at Alice. “Alice, please.”

The Siren girl gave him a sweet smile, then turned to look at the Troll with an extremely cold and indifferent gaze.

It was as if they were just some inferior creatures that were not worth mentioning.

Her cherry-red lips parted slightly.

An indescribably beautiful song slowly sounded, gently echoing in the stone forest.

He felt some tranquil images in his mind as if in a dream.
