But after searching for half an hour, Ji Chen didn’t find anything valuable. It seemed that apart from the rare resources and the Travis Relic, there was nothing else worthwhile.

There was only trash and more trash.

He felt a slight sense of regret.

However, this haul was quite impressive. He obtained a small two-winged demon statue that emitted a negative force field, approximately 6000 units of rare resources, 300 units of invaluable top-tier resources called spirit crystals, and an elf artifact shrouded in mystery.

Against all odds, Ji Chen’s victory over the corrupted temple dark acolyte not only secured valuable rewards but also propelled him through the ranks. He soared from level 35 to level 37, and reaching level 38 appeared well within reach.

Although the battle had been challenging, his side had suffered very few losses.

After realizing this, Ji Chen’s mood improved considerably. Since there was nothing left here, he left with his army.

What he didn’t notice was that, as he stepped out of the portal, the eyes of the deity statue on the altar briefly lit up and shifted, but quickly returned to silence.

The people with their backs to the statue didn’t notice this scene and exited the temple under its gaze.

Back in the water, the familiar oppressive feeling returned.

The ice pillars that had frozen the corrupted temple dark acolyte were still standing.

Ignoring it, Ji Chen controlled the seawater, carrying himself and Alice, and headed straight for the Tyrant Azure Dragon’s head, leading his army away.

He had no intention of returning to King Kong Island. After informing I_Love_Black_Stockings, he directly returned to the Crown of the Ocean.

On the way, he looked for monsters, and after replenishing Alice’s soul servants to around two thousand, he smoothly returned to the New Moon Islands.

Considering the time spent traveling back and forth and addressing a few monster lairs, the entire endeavor took no more than three or four days.

Back in his territory, after all the traveling, Ji Chen decided to rest for a good night. The next morning, he woke up refreshed.

As soon as he got up, he went outside the Lord’s Castle to enjoy the warm morning sun and the sea breeze with a hint of fishy scent. Just as he was about to take a deep breath, he saw Benbo hurrying in from outside the territory, his face showing a hint of concern. It was clear that something had happened. “What happened?”

Approaching him, Benbo, who had saluted, replied, “My Lord, while conducting our routine morning patrol, we stumbled upon a gathering of wild creatures. The exact number is unknown, but there are at least four thousand of them, and they pose a significant threat, potentially endangering passing ships.”

“Due to their considerable numbers, I refrained from launching an immediate attack. Instead, I returned to report to you and request instructions.”

At least four thousand wild creatures?

Ji Chen’s interest was piqued, and he nodded. “You did the right thing; a hasty attack would only alert them. Are there any Fourth-tier creatures among them?”

“There are a good number of them, with a preliminary estimate of fewer than a thousand Fourth-tier creatures. The rest are Second and Third-tier.”

Less than a thousand Fourth-tier creatures were more than enough to fill the remaining slots for Alice’s soul servants. This was good news.

“Where exactly are they located?”

“The last sighting was on the south side of the New Moon Islands, near the deep sea close to the edge of the storm. We suspect they may have been hiding in the deep waters before, which is why we didn’t detect them earlier.”

The Stormy Sea, while not large in terms of ocean expanses, presented a significant challenge. Despite continuous patrols by the Crown of the Ocean, they were still exploring the shallower waters. The deeper regions and the labyrinthine underwater terrain were uncharted territory, making it a potential hiding place for creatures or even monster lairs.

Ji Chen was determined not to waste any more time.

“Gather the Dragonblood Murlocs, Lobster Riders, and Tyrant Azure Dragons.

We’re going to eliminate this threat to the Crown of the Ocean!

Take Alice and her soul servants with you.”

“Yes, my Lord!”

Ten minutes later.

The army was assembled and swiftly entered the water, moving at full speed.

When Ji Chen and his troops reached the spot Benbo had mentioned, the wild creatures he had spotted earlier were nowhere in sight. Nonetheless, given the significant number of creatures observed in a brief period, it’s quite likely they hadn’t ventured too far and were likely nearby.

Seeing this, Ji Chen waved his hand and announced loudly, “Lobster Riders and Dragonblood Murlocs, form teams of ten each, with each team responsible for searching in a different direction.

Be cautious, and do not attack recklessly if you spot the enemy. Report back immediately upon discovering any traces!”

Dozens of teams of Lobster Riders and Dragonblood Murlocs received their orders, with each group responsible for a different angle and direction, creating a radial search pattern.

Under this efficient and saturated search method, they quickly discovered traces left behind by the wild creatures from their hunting and activity.

Following these traces, they arrived in a section of the sea to the southeast of the New Moon Islands.

This was where the wild creature group had vanished.

Without hesitation, Ji Chen once again dispatched his forces, initiating another saturated search.

Today, he was determined to find this group of wild creatures, even if it meant digging three feet into the ground or, in this case, diving deeper into the sea. One heroic Lobster Rider, leading a small team, descended into the depths of the ocean. As the depth increased, its eyes widened slightly, adapting to the growing darkness, and it took in the surrounding scenery.

As they continued their descent and progress, they entered a secluded underwater basin, and the brightness around them suddenly increased, causing their eyes to narrow..
