“The appearing monsters, we only saw three types: one was the Shrimp Soldier, another was the Crab Soldier, and there was also a Giant Turtle Sorcerer, starting at Tier 4, 9-star…

In addition to this, we also saw a Blue Excellent-Tier monster leading them…”

The group revealed all the information they knew without holding back.

For them, since they had already disclosed this information, there was no point in keeping anything hidden now.

“When we saw the Mystic Realm Gate, it still had a month of activation time left. Big Boss, if you go now, you’ll definitely make it.”

Based on the location they mentioned, Ji Chen marked a small area on the map.

The Mystic Realm Gate was located in the sea to the south-west of A/Iaple Harbor, quite a distance away, but not too far from the Crown of the Ocean, about a three-day journey.

A month’s activation time would be enough for him to return to the New Moon Islands and then head there.

After collecting his thought, as agreed, Ji Chen handed over the initial fee of 50,000 gold coins and, after confirmation, he took out a box containing 100,000 gold coins, pushing it all toward them.

Seeing this pile of gold coins in front of them, the five individuals’ eyes turned green, and their hearts were filled with excitement.

At first, they thought this piece of information might be worth tens of thousands of gold coins at most, but he didn’t expect the Islander to be so generous, throwing out 150,000 gold coins without batting an eye.

He was truly a good person!

After some consideration, the group’s leader carefully stated, “Big Boss Islander, according to our guess, it’s highly likely that the inside of this realm is submerged underwater. You see, the creatures we’ve encountered, like shrimp, crabs, and turtles, are all seafood, like a mixed seafood platter, you could say.”

Having received this piece of information, Ji Chen’s mood remained quite good. He smiled and said, “1 understand. Who knows, there might be something inside, like the Prime Minister Turtle, the Dragon Prince, or even a dragon named Little White Dragon.”

The group was momentarily stunned, but being from the same cultural background, they quickly caught on and chuckled, “So, this realm might be a side dungeon of the East Sea Dragon Palace? Maybe there’s really a treasure trove inside with a Divine Sea Needle.

Hopefully, Big Boss, you can explore this realm safely and return with a bountiful haul!”

Before leaving, each of them offered blessings to Ji Chen. After all, there was no harm in offering good wishes, and it would be even better if they could establish a good relationship with the Big Boss.

Watching their figures disappear at the entrance of the estate, Ji Chen looked thoughtful.

In his mental perception, the five light points representing them were slowly moving.

He had considered whether these five individuals might be infiltrators from the Deceivers, and whether this so-called realm was a trap. However, after careful consideration, he dismissed this possibility.

These five individuals had contacted him before he entered the Northern Continent, which was before the Deceivers noticed him. The timing doesn’t match up.

After all, the Deceivers can’t exactly sense him through the void, right?

With the previous possibilities ruled out, there was no reason for these five individuals to deceive him.

After all, n.o.body wanted to have a falling out over money, and they knew the consequences of deceiving him.

Therefore, there was no motive for them to provide false information.

But precautions were still necessary. Ji Chen left a mental marker on them, allowing him to locate them at any time within a certain range.

After some thought, Ji Chen called for Benbo.

“Benbo, 1 want you to take the Dragon Blood Murlocs and head to the location of this realm immediately for reconnaissance, confirming its existence and any changes.

After completing the reconnaissance, return directly to the Crown of the

Ocean, no need to go back to Maple Harbor.”

“Yes, following your great will.”

Benbo, accompanied by the Dragon Blood Murlocs, set off immediately. As Murlocs, they had extremely high mobility, with speeds several times faster than ordinary ships, making them the ideal choice for this reconnaissance mission.

Today, most tasks had been completed, and it seemed like it was time to return to his territory.

Ji Chen first instructed Raymond and Luo Yang to handle their respective affairs. One was in the spotlight, and the other operated in the shadows, ensuring the safety of the Crown of the Ocean’s commercial interests.

Then, he bid farewell to Brett and Kris. This time, the two elves from the Maple Princ.i.p.ality had been a great help to him, and they had successfully established a good rapport between the Crown of the Ocean and the elves.

The next day, on a clear and sunny morning, Ji Chen and his group set out on their return journey.

Ji Chen didn’t intend to leisurely sail back. He, along with Alice, Verena, and other high-level heroes, directly rode the Tyrant Azure Dragon back.

The rest of the troops and lower-tier heroes accompanied the fleet of ships carrying thousands of refugees, safeguarding their journey back to the Crown of the Ocean.

However, at this moment, an unexpected event occurred.

Verena, who had been imprisoned in a cage for hundreds of years and had no fear of burning souls, showed a look of fear the moment she stepped onto the back of the Tyrant Azure Dragon and set sail on the sea.

“My Lord, are we really going to ride these Azure Dragons back?”

Verena knelt halfway on the broad back of the Tyrant Azure Dragon, her voice trembling.

“Are you sure we won’t be thrown off or swept away by the waves?”

Ji Chen looked at the slightly trembling Verena with some curiosity and suddenly asked, “Don’t you know how to swim?”

It was as if he had struck a nerve, and she froze, her neck turning like it was on a gear.

She opened her mouth as if to say something but couldn’t find the words, eventually nodding in defeat, a look of frustration on her face.

As a devout believer, Verena found it embarra.s.sing to admit that she couldn’t swim and had a fear of deep water.

But Ji Chen’s expression became even stranger. The protective blessing of the Crown of the Ocean was supposed to significantly improve the water skills and sense of direction of its citizens. In other words, everyone under the Crown of the Ocean was good at swimming.

Verena had signed a contract with her, so she should also enjoy the effects of the protective blessing.

It seemed that she had never tested it by going into the water.

With this thought in mind, Ji Chen smiled, “Why don’t you try swimming now? I’ll be watching you.”

Verena resisted with all her might, but in the face of the words of loyalty, she couldn’t refuse.

A look of resigned determination appeared on her face.

She stood at the edge, closed her eyes, and took a leap, plunging into the water like the hilarious Filipino Olympics diver. After a moment, she started splashing around on the surface.

Ji Chen watched her helplessly as she splashed around and cried for help.

“See if you can swim now.”

Verena, who had been crying for help, suddenly froze. She looked at herself, effortlessly floating on the sea, and started paddling with her limbs as if they had muscle memory.

The look of fear on her face turned into astonishment and joy. “Huh? How did I suddenly learn how to swim?” She then happily started paddling around in the water.

Ji Chen’s mouth twitched, and he sighed.

On the other side, Alice stared at her as if she were a fool, wondering why her colleagues always seemed a bit abnormal in some way.

This was a little side story.

Ji Chen quickly had the still-enjoying herself Verena come up, and the group immediately set off.

Without the delays of a ship, the Tyrant Azure Dragon was able to move at full speed, cutting through the waves.

The Tyrant Azure Dragon seemed tireless, traveling day and night, and it took only half the expected time to reach the edge of the Stormy Sea.

Looking at the dark sky in the distance, the turbulent sea on the horizon, Ji Chen felt a sense of belonging.

Inside this sea, he was back in the long-absent Crown of the Ocean.

Without wasting any time, he waved his hand, and the Tyrant Azure Dragon continued forward, breaking through the waves.

After pa.s.sing through the slightly undulating edge of the sea, the waves gradually subsided, and the sky cleared.

In the distance, they saw the crescent-shaped New Moon Islands.

But the faces of everyone suddenly changed.

They saw on the New Moon Islands in the distance, towering columns of smoke rising into the sky, and the island was faintly lit by fires burning everywhere.

Thousands of wrecked ships were floating on the sea, and the bodies of lizardmen warriors bobbed along with the waves.

Ji Chen’s expression darkened.

Motherf.u.c.kers! Isn’t it robbery?!
