But after rummaging for more than half an hour, Ji Chen didn't find anything valuable, as if there was nothing good except for rare resources and Travis holy relics.

Except that garbage is garbage.

I regret a little in my heart.

However, this harvest is also very good, a small two-winged demon statue that can emit a negative force field, a total of rare resources of about 6,000 units, 300 units of priceless top-level resource spirit crystals, and an elven relic, which contains mysteries.

Jumping over the level to kill the evil attendant of the Evil Transformation Temple also gained a fairly optimistic experience point, which directly made Ji Chen jump from level 35 to level 37, which is not far from level 38.

Although the battle was quite difficult, the losses suffered by one's own side can be said to be very small.

After figuring it out, Ji Chen was in a good mood, and after it was true that there was nothing left here, he left here with the army.

What he didn't notice, however, was that the moment he walked out the door, there was a statue of the evil god on the altar

His eyes shone a little, and he spun abruptly, but soon fell into dead silence again.

The crowd with their backs to the statue did not notice this scene at all, and walked out of the temple under the gaze of the statue.

Re-entering the water, a familiar sense of oppression ensues.

The icicles of the Frozen Evil Temple still stand in front of you.

didn't care about him anymore, Ji Chen manipulated the sea water, put himself and Alice on the head of the tyrannical dragon, and left with the army.

He didn't plan to go back to King Kong Island, and after saying a word to my love black silk, he went straight back to the crown of the ocean.

Along the way, he searched for wild monsters, and after restoring the number of Alice's soul minions to two thousand, he returned to the Crescent Islands.

Once back and forth, plus the time to crusade against a few monster lairs, it only adds up to three or four days.

After returning to the territory, Ji Chen didn't toss anymore after a long journey, first rested for a good night, and then got up the next day full of energy.

As soon as I got up, I came to the outside of the lord's castle, enjoying the warm morning sunshine, blowing the sea breeze mixed with the slightest fishy smell, and just when I wanted to take a deep breath, I saw Ben Bo Erba hurrying from outside the territory, with a little different color on his face, obviously something happened.

"What happened?"

Walking closer, after saluting, he said, "My lord, when we were on our daily patrol in the morning, we stumbled upon a group of wild monsters that were gathering in an unknown number but numbering at least four thousand, which was quite dangerous and could pose a threat to the passing ships. ”

"Because there are a lot of them, I didn't choose to attack rashly, I came back first to report to you and ask for instructions."

At least 4,000 wild monsters?

Ji Chen's heart moved, and he nodded, "You did the right thing, attacking rashly will only startle the grass and snakes, is there a fourth-order wild monster in this group of wild monsters?" ”

"There are quite a few of them, and the preliminary judgment of the fourth-order is probably less than a thousand, and the rest are all second-order and third-order."

Less than a thousand is enough to fill Alice's remaining place as a soul servant, which is good news.

"Where exactly are they?"

"The last time they were found was in a deep sea on the south side of the Crescent Islands, near the edge of the storm, and my subordinates speculated that they may have been hiding in deep water before we found them."

The storm sea area is not big, it is not small, Rao is the crown of the ocean is constantly patrolling and exploring, and it is still only in the stage of exploring shallow waters, but the deeper deep water area and the ravines and trenches on the bottom of the sea are a blank for them, so it is not uncommon for these hidden places to hide some wild monsters or wild monster nests.

Ji Chen was sure in his heart, and he didn't waste time anymore, and said in a deep voice.

"Go and gather the Dragonblood Fishmen, Lobster Knights, and Tyrannical Dragons."

"Defeat this horde of monsters and deal with the potential threat of the crown of the ocean!"

"Alice also went with the soul servants."

"Yes!"

Ten minutes later.

The army was assembled, and at the sound of an order, they all sank into the sea and advanced at full speed in the water.

When Ji Chen and the others arrived at the location where they had encountered the group of wild monsters before, they were no longer here, but in such a short period of time, so many wild monsters would definitely not be able to run far, and there was a high probability that they were still around here.

Seeing this, Ji Chen waved his hand and said loudly.

"Lobster Knights, Dragonblood Fishmen, in teams of ten, each team is responsible for searching for one direction."

"Be careful, don't attack rashly after discovering the enemy, and come back immediately to report any traces!"

Dozens of teams of lobster knights, dragonblood people led the way, and one group was responsible for an angle and direction, searching outward in a radial shape.

Under this efficient and saturated search, they soon discovered the traces left by the hunting and activity of the wild monster herd.

They followed the trail and came to a sea in the southeast of the Crescent Islands.

The horde of wild monsters disappeared around here.

Ji Chen did not hesitate to scatter the army again and conduct a saturation search again.

Even if he has to dig three feet into the ground today, he has to find out this group of wild monsters!

A lobster knight hero dives into the sea with a small team, and as the depth increases, its eyes widen slightly, adapting to the increasingly dim environment, taking in everything around it.

Dive and advance all the way into a hidden underwater basin, where the brightness around them rises so brightly that their eyes shrink.

After adapting to the change in light, this lobster knight hero looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but stop.

In front of me, there is an underwater forest planted in a flat basin, extending from this end to the end of the line, where trees hugging at least ten people stand like buildings, and the flowers blooming on the branches emit a faint blue fluorescence, illuminating the seabed beautifully.

Between the trees, some figures could be seen faintly shuttling.

……

Ji Chen stood on the head of the tyrannical dragon with his hands, Alice accompanied him, the other eight tyrannical dragons surrounded him, and there were more than two thousand soul servants guarding the eight directions.

Suddenly, his slightly narrowed eyes slowly opened, and he looked at a nearby sea, and only a few seconds later, ten waves arched on the surface of the sea, and a lobster knight hero floated up with nine lobster knights.

"My lord, I've found traces of that monster!"

Hearing this, a gleam flashed in Ji Chen's eyes.

"All assembled!"

Led by a team of lobster knights, they came to this basin after crossing an inconspicuous trench.

When he saw this forest growing at the bottom of the sea, even Ji Chen couldn't help but be stunned.

And such a landscape?

There is a lush forest growing on the bottom of the sea, which is a bit unscientific!

But Ji Chen was quickly relieved, damn this world is a fantasy world, what's so strange about the forest growing on the bottom of the sea.

"Those monsters are hiding in this underwater forest, and this seems to be their lair!"

The lobster knight hero said respectfully beside him.

Ji Chen bowed slightly, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice.

"The Lobster Knight guards the entrance to this underwater basin and doesn't let a single monster out."

"Yes!" Several lobster knight heroes beat their chests with their palms and bowed their heads.

"The tyrannical dragon and the dragonblood fishman are the main forces this time, and they will kill all the non-fourth-order wild monsters."

The fish-man hero Rushing Erba held his trident high, and the tyrannical dragon silently opened his bloody mouth, sending out a wisp of extreme chill.

After speaking, Ji Chen looked at the siren hero beside him, "Alice, you will lead the soul slave to enslave the fourth-order wild monsters and fill the slavery quota as much as possible." ”

"I see."

"Alright, all action!"

The armies moved in unison, and under the leadership of their respective heroes, began to carry out their tasks in an orderly manner.

Once again, the crown of the ocean shows its sharp edge.

Compared with the busy appearance of the army, Ji Chen seemed very relaxed, standing leisurely on the remaining tyrannical dragon, and completely handed over this battle to Alice and them.

It didn't seem to be worrying at all - this was of course natural, two purple rare-level heroes, more than a dozen blue, green, and white heroes, plus a fully armed fourth-order army, and even eight fifth-order tyrannical dragons to help.

If this can't solve the group of fourth-order wild monsters that are less than 1,000 out of just 4,000, then they can crash headlong into a tree and kill them directly.

Seeing that the undersea forest began to be lively, Ji Chen also opened the chat channel to pass the time.

As always, there are a lot of sand witherers chatting and going crazy on it.

For players, the most important thing is to be lively.

Through the sand withering players distributed in the north and south of the world, Ji Chen also knew a lot of things that happened in various places.

Among them, there is the daughter of the Grand Duke of a certain principality, who openly denounces the despicable annexation plans of the neighboring countries and says that they will thwart the gossip news of the conspiracy.

Ji Chen took a look, yo, isn't this Monica who came to the Principality of Inhardt?

The girl who had a beautiful appearance, acted generously, and advanced and retreated in a measured manner left a deep impression on him.

It seems that she has managed to return to the Duchy of Inhardt and spread the news back.

Monica, you have to work harder, you must thwart the conspiracy of the enemy country, otherwise if you come to the Duchy of Inhardt to hit the streets, then what he did before will be in vain.

In addition to this, Ji Chen also noticed a message from a certain player.

"Let me tell you something, just a few days ago I went to the aboriginal city to buy supplies, and while walking on the street, I accidentally bumped into a man wearing a hood, do you want to know who is under the hood?"

"Don't want to know, get out."

"Hello, it's me."

"Wait, Elemental Sense, trapped in the game + town + with a hood, I see, it's Asuna!

”

"Well, but it's a little similar, but not quite, even though she only shows half of her face, but I do know that she must be a female elf, and I tell you, she looks like the one that breaks through the sky, and if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought it must be P's!"

"But as soon as I saw her, I felt like I fell in love at first sight."

"Is that what you call love at first sight, I'm embarrassed to expose you, you covet her body, you are cheap!"

"An elf that has been passed down for three generations, maybe the elf you see is already hundreds of years old Obasan, and this gold brick can be held."

Looking at the heated discussion around the female elf on the channel, Ji Chen suddenly remembered Erin, who had been away for a long time, just like if everything went well on the road, it was estimated that she had already arrived in the Northern Continent and embarked on the journey back home, right?

"Ahh

Erin, who was in a vast prairie and enjoying the beautiful scenery here, looked left and right with a look of surprise.

Hurriedly used a spell to detect whether he had suffered any curse, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief when he was sure that it was okay, and muttered, "I've been gone for so long, those guys should think I'm dead, and no one should curse me..."

"And I came out of there, and after I came out of that territory, I hid my identity the whole time, and even my appearance and hair have been modified a lot, although the effect is not as good as the false mask, but the chance of being detected should be very small..."

"Well, I shouldn't have to worry about that..."Erin said Irene suddenly frowned, "Wait, I don't think I've forgotten something..."

"The First Evolution"

After thinking about it for a while, she decisively gave up thinking, waved her big hand, and her face was full of indifference, "Well, since it's something that can't be remembered, it shouldn't be important, and since it's unimportant, there's no need to think about it." ”

"I finally escaped, why should I be embarrassed to think of something unimportant?"

"So it's more important to enjoy a beautiful free life, ah, this soft wind, ah, this cool water, ah, this beautiful nature~"

At this time, Ji Chen didn't know that Erin, who he had high hopes for, had already left behind what he had promised and forgotten everything.

If you knew, you would definitely curse a hateful old witch.

After watching the daily life of the sand withering players for a while, he closed the chat channel and returned his attention to reality.

Look into the distance.

The battle seems to be nearing its end.

Drive the tyrannical dragon to the underwater forest.

The distance between the giant trees is large, and it is completely enough for the tyrannical dragon to enter.

Among the giant trees that are hundreds of meters high, there are traces of battle, and there are also many wild monster corpses scattered, either broken bodies, or frozen into ice, or nailed to trees, there are all kinds of ways to die.

Among these corpses, there are very few armies belonging to the crown of the sea, only a few dozen, and most of them are soul slaves.

This is enough to show the advantage and strength gap of the champion team of the ocean against the wild monster group.

The deeper you go into the forest, the more monster corpses there are.

Moreover, Ji Chen also found that the corpses of these wild monsters were all piled up and appeared in pieces, very much like they had fought in an organized manner, but they were only broken.

Organized battles, is there a monster in charge?

Riding the tyrannical dragon deeper, he soon saw a clearing in the center of the forest, where the army of the crown of the sea was confronting the few remaining wild monsters.

In front of the remaining monsters, there was a slender figure with long black hair and a human-like body.
