Chapter 404: The Deployment of New Units, Ocean Mystic Realm, and the Canyon (2)

A wave of arrows rained down, killing dozens of Giant Turtle Sorcerers.

They were severely wounded but hadn’t had a chance to counterattack before the next wave of arrows, carrying the spells of the Silver Sea Pixies, struck once again.

After two waves of onslaught, nearly all of the hundreds of Giant Turtle Sorcerers were wiped out.

Seeing this scene, the Blue Monster Commander leading the shrimp and crab soldiers into the attack was furious, almost losing his sanity.

F*cking outsiders!

You’ve just wiped out a quarter of my troops?

1’11 make you suffer the same pain!

Crossing the final distance, they launched a charge, their tails and limbs moving rapidly like electric fans to increase their speed.

However, among the so-called outsiders, there was a fully armed unit prepared to counter them.

At some point, over a thousand Lobster Guardian Knights had already sprung into action, their speed increasing rapidly. If the ground tremor was caused by the cavalry charging on land, the commotion caused by the knights charging in the water was the splashing of water, with torrents surging.

Gradually, the Monster Commander realized that something was amiss. He felt the sea water churning violently, and a terrifying armored lobster cavalry charged at them from the side.

His mind cleared instantly, fear etched across his face.

Ji Chen observed how the shrimp and crab soldiers were easily defeated by the Lobster Guardian Knights, who skillfully skewered them on their spears as if they were toy figurines. He expressed his approval with a nod.

Indeed, they were fifth-tier units, and their terrifying suppression of fourth-tier units made it look like child’s play.

The two new units, the Water Nymph Archers and the Crab Guardians, also performed admirably, achieving the desired effects.

The Lobster Guardian Knights skillfully cut through the enemy’s formation, dividing them into smaller pieces, rendering them unable to organize their forces to resist, and devoured them like pieces of pie.

Soon, the only one left on the sea surface was the heavily wounded Monster Commander, who looked like a chick and was being carried over by several knights.

Without wasting words, Ji Chen spoke directly.

“Tell us about the monster leader within this realm, the number, types, and strength of your forces, and the information about the so-called Dragon King you mentioned, or face death.”

The blue monster commander cursed loudly, “You’re dreaming! Our mighty Dragon King will surely avenge us. You, outsider, are walking into a one-way path to death!”

Upon hearing this, Ji Chen’s face showed no surprise. He turned to Alice and said, “Use mind control to manipulate him and extract his spirit, memories, and soul.”

Mind control wasn’t limited to controlling enemies; Alice, who could control souls, naturally had the ability to access memories. However, most wild creatures’ memories held little value, but this was a blue-tier monster commander, so there might be something in its mind.

“Yes.” Alice nodded in response, then turned her gaze towards the Monster Commander. Her sapphire-like eyes devoid of emotion, she slowly activated her skill.

The Blue Monster Commander, listening to Ji Chen’s words and seeing Alice’s expression, couldn’t help but panic. He struggled, “What are you going to do!?”

However, the hands of several Lobster Guardian Knights held him like iron clamps. He was already heavily wounded and couldn’t resist, so he had no choice but to endure the mental a.s.sault from Alice.

A few minutes later.

The Blue Excellent-Tier Monster Commander was no longer struggling. His eyes were vacant and lifeless as if he were a walking corpse.

Alice slowly opened her eyes and said, “Master, I have extracted some information from its soul.

The internal environment of this mystic realm is entirely underwater, and there’s an underwater city called Dragon King City.

…Its ruler is a dragon, but we don’t know the specific type of dragon, and its strength is unknown…

The Dragon King’s palace has eight thousand-strong squads of shrimp soldiers, eight thousand-strong squads of crab soldiers, four thousand-strong squads of Giant Turtle Sorcerers, and four thousand-strong squads of 3-star Deep Sea Sawtooth Beasts.

Each thousand-strong squad is led by at least one Blue Excellent-Tier Monster Commander. However, it seems that the dragon also has a secret force numbering in the thousands, but I couldn’t obtain information about their tier and level from its fragmented soul…”

Ji Chen nodded. Mind control was a rather brutal intrusion method, often resulting in damage to the soul and memory.

However, this information was sufficient. Currently, they were at a significant disadvantage in terms of the number of troops.

But Ji Chen felt no fear or worry. Quant.i.ty was not the sole determining factor in victory.

Tier, coordination, tactics, hero units, environment, and other factors could lead to different outcomes in battle.

He had strong confidence in the current Ocean Crown army.

The defending forces at this location had been wiped out, and the gateway to the mystic realm stood open. Without wasting any time, Ji Chen waved his hand, and the army reformed its ranks at the watery gateway.

“The Crab Guardians, move into the mystic realm and protect our allies with your shields!”

With the command given, 140 Crab Guardians approached the gateway, forming more than ten rows and holding up their shields without hesitation as they entered.

The water rippled as the crab-shaped shadows disappeared one by one behind the door.

Once all the Crab Guardians had entered without incident, the Naga Guardians followed suit. Only then did Ji Chen wave his hand, allowing the Ocean Dragon Legion to enter. The mystic realm’s gateway conveniently accommodated one Tyrant Azure Dragon at a time.

One by one, the Tyrant Azure Dragons entered, and Ji Chen, standing on one of them, felt a momentary coolness enveloping him. The surroundings immediately quieted down.

When he came to his senses, he was already submerged in water.

There was no light coming from above, indicating that they were deep underwater.

For ordinary players, entering the mystic realm through this gateway would have turned them into minced meat due to the underwater pressure. However, for Ji Chen, it was no problem. Even without the protection of the Ocean’s Favor talent, he could control the water pressure and move as freely as on land.

The first to enter, the Crab Guardians and Naga Guardians had already established a defensive perimeter around them, and there were no signs of battle.

Taking a look around, Ji Chen saw that they were now in a long and narrow underwater canyon, with underwater cliffs on both sides that extended out of sight. Looking upward, all he could see was an undifferentiated darkness.

Behind them was the gateway, which rippled with water waves. Further behind was another rocky cliff, and apart from the path ahead, there were no other exits.

In the crevices between the seabed and the rocky wall, some fluorescent sea gra.s.s and corals grew, providing a little illumination.

There was no sign of any enemies in the vicinity.

Seeing this, Ji Chen relaxed slightly and waved his hand to urge the remaining troops to enter quickly.

One hour later, all six legions had fully entered.

Looking at the long and narrow canyon in front of him, Ji Chen pondered for a moment before giving orders.

“Benbo, take a portion of the Dragon Blood Murlocs and explore further along the canyon, investigate the terrain, and search for any enemies ahead.

If you encounter enemies, do not startle them; immediately return to report.”

Benbo nodded and led three hundred Dragon Blood Murlocs to swim deeper into the canyon.

Ji Chen led the main force forward, but due to the narrowness of the canyon, the progress of the thousands-strong army was slower than a tortoise’s.

There were also some creatures living in the canyon, such as deep-sea fish with big copper bell-like eyes, deep-sea crabs with long legs, and octopuses with transparent bodies that revealed their organs…

But as soon as these creatures heard their movement, they immediately fled and hid in the crevices of the rocks or behind large corals. It wasn’t until Ji Chen and his troops had pa.s.sed by that they ventured out again.

This underwater canyon was exceptionally long, and even after half an hour of advancing, they still hadn’t seen an exit. The cliffs on both sides remained unseen, but luckily, the path was gradually widening.

After a full hour of traveling, Benbo, who had been sent ahead for reconnaissance, finally returned.

“Lord, if we continue along the canyon for another five kilometers, we’ll reach the canyon’s exit. Outside the exit is a large basin with a coral settlement that looks like a village. It seems to be inhabited by some marine residents.

Besides that, we haven’t detected any enemies similar to those outside the mystic realm.”

Marine residents?

Ji Chen’s interest was piqued.

He had been in this world for quite some time, but it was the first time he had heard of an underwater village.

What did these marine residents look like?
