Chapter 242: A group of catfish spirits, Dragon King City and Coral Palace, the fallen prince
Under the guidance of Ben Erba, Ji Chen and the others walked out of the canyon and came to an undersea basin.
Because the basin is generally inclined to the middle, high and low in the middle, he can easily see the underwater village in the center of the basin.
This underwater village is made up of clumps of giant hard corals that resemble flowers.
A clump of giant coral is a house, and hundreds of clumps of corals make up a village, with doors and windows that resemble those of human structures on the outside, but most of them are round or oval in shape, and open at the top rather than on the periphery.
There are many fluorescent seaweeds and plants growing around, and the faint light shines on the colorful giant corals, giving it a strange beauty, as if the sea has changed color.
Ji Chen's eyes flashed with a little surprise, and he quickly came back to his senses.
Ordered.
"Rush Erba, take the Dragonblood Legion to surround that underwater village, gather all the residents together, and don't let any of them leave."
If those residents were allowed to flee and report to Dragon King City, they would probably have to face tens of thousands of seafood armies at the same time.
Either way, we have to control them first, and find out more information first.
Ben Bo Erba also knew this truth, and immediately swam with thousands of units of the Dragonblood Legion after receiving the order.
Ji Chen continued to advance with a large army.
The basin is not small, and it will be fifteen minutes before the village is reached.
The Dragonblood Legion had gathered all the inhabitants of this underwater village into a clearing, and as they watched the mighty Ocean Champions coming, they looked panicked and curled up in a daze, not daring to move.
Ji Chen stepped on the tyrannical dragon and came to the front slowly, and looked at them with interest.
The inhabitants are a group of humanoid catfish spirits with catfish heads and human-like bodies, and a pair of large eyes on their faces, which look somewhat comical.
They watched the fierce army disperse, and a slender figure stood on the head of the giant whale-like creature, and they were stunned, their eyes full of incredulity.
They're not mistaken, it's... Mankind?
But how is it possible for humans to appear at such depths at the bottom of the ocean and appear to be able to breathe?
Looking at the shocked expressions on the faces of this group of catfish spirits, Ji Chen felt a little funny, and the mana condensed into waves, causing their voices to be transmitted in a way that could be transmitted in the water.
"Who among you is the village chief?"
When his voice sounded in their ears, the catfish spirits were startled and looked at each other.
The last old catfish with wrinkled skin walked out and said respectfully.
"Strange but powerful lord, may I ask if there is anything about your coming to Catfish Village?"
"Our Catfish Village has no quarrel with the world, lives and works in peace and contentment, and does not participate in the dispute between Dragon King City and Coral Palace."
Sango Palace?
Ji Chen's eyebrows moved slightly, hearing this, in addition to the power of Dragon King City, there is also a force called Coral Palace in this secret realm, and the two are still in opposing states.
It's kind of interesting.
"I don't belong to Dragon King City or Coral Palace, I'm the lord of the crown of the ocean, Ji Chen, from above the sea."
"Above the sea?" The catfish village chief was stunned for a moment, "Are they those small islands on the sea?" β
Are there humans on the surface of this secret sea?
Ji Chen nodded abruptly in his heart, it seems that this secret realm is not a world composed entirely of oceans, there are still islands and human beings on the surface of the sea.
I just don't know how big it is.
Like large secret realms such as the Skeleton and the Blood Sea Secret Realm, the area is extremely vast, and like some small secret realms, it is not surprising that only one Crescent Islands and sub-islands have been laid.
"Not really, I'm from somewhere outside of this world." Ji Chen shook his head and said, not explaining too much, "I only came here not long ago, and I know almost nothing about this place, especially Dragon King City and Coral Palace. β
The catfish village chief was stunned again, a place outside the world?
Is there another world besides this world?
However, looking at these troops that had never appeared in the Great Fluorescent Sea, I also believed a little in my heart.
Although it was a little confused, it still reacted quickly, doesn't this mean to say something, as long as it doesn't have malicious intentions towards Catfish Village.
According to its impression of the humans on the islands on the sea, most of them prefer peace, and because they have no strong enemies, they even have a small number of troops.
So as long as it knows everything, there is probably no danger to its life.
"Your Excellency, please speak."
"Dragon King City and Coral Palace seem to be two forces?"
"Yes, in the Great Fluorescent Sea, the two most powerful forces are Dragon King City and Coral Palace, ruled by the Water Dragon King and the Coral Lord respectively, and they both have a large number of powerful soldiers under their command."
"Dragon King City and the Coral Palace have been in a state of opposition for hundreds of years, especially in the last few years, the contradictions and battles between each other have become more and more intense, and war is almost about to break out, and then the blood will be stained with the Great Fluorescent Sea again."
The Water Dragon King and the Lord of Coral.
It sounds a bit domineering to the name, but I just don't know what the strength is?
However, as the ruler of the two forces, the strength will definitely not be too low.
Ji Chen estimated that they were at least a red inheritance-level hero unit.
After thinking about it, he asked.
"Have you seen them?"
The village chief of Catfish shook his head, "No, I heard that those two have not appeared in the outside world for several years, and all the contradictions and struggles are handled by the generals under their command." β
As he spoke, he asked cautiously.
"My lord, may I ask what you are doing here in the Great Fluorescent Sea?"
"My territory is in dire need of rare resources, treasures and other valuable things." Ji Chen looked at him and said, "What, do you know the whereabouts of these things?" β
"Catfish Village doesn't have any of these things... But if you want this, you can go to the Sango Palace and help the Lord of Coral defeat Dragon King, so that you can definitely get the gratitude of the Lord of Sango, after all... Your army is so strong. β
"The Great Fluorescent Sea has been fighting for hundreds of years, and there are countless dead sea clans, if there is only one force left, then it should be able to end this situation."
Ji Chen looked at the catfish village chief with a sigh on his face, a little curious.
"Why do you want to suggest that I help the Coral Palace instead of the Dragon King?"
The catfish village chief's face was a little unnatural, with a little resentment in his eyes, "Dragon King City is barbaric, forcibly recruiting civilians everywhere to expand the army, disguised as robbers to plunder caravans, and extort villages. β
"There was also an army from Dragon King City that passed through our village and extorted half of our food, if they become the only great force, then our hard times will come."
"I see... The Dragon King City army you are talking about is about two thousand? β
The catfish village chief said in surprise, "How do you know?" β
Only then did he remember the direction in which Ji Chen led the army, which seemed to be the direction in which the Dragon King City army left the village.
"Did you kill them all?"
He nodded noncommittally.
The head of the catfish village looked overjoyed, as if relieved, "Thank you for your help, we would have seen them unpleasant for a long time, if it weren't for the catfish of our breed who are not good at fighting, they would have joined the Coral Palace to fight those robbers in Dragon King City." β
The time for the secret realm to open was limited, and Ji Chen didn't want to spend too much time here, so he asked directly.
"How do I get to the Sangoguya?"
"Walking east out of this small basin will lead you to a large basin, and after entering the large basin, you will reach the territory of the Sango Palace through the fluorescent forest."
Hearing this, he did not delay, and with a wave of his hand, he planned to leave with the army.
But at this time, suddenly a catfish squeezed out and said loudly.
"Your Excellency, wait! I have something like I want to ask you for help... Woooooooo β
Before this catfish spirit could finish speaking, it was pulled by a few catfish next to him and covered his mouth.
The surrounding catfish essence began to talk about it.
"Why did this fool suddenly have another seizure? Don't anger this adult. β
"This guy doesn't do anything all day, and he makes a mess for us at this time."
Ji Chen frowned and looked at the catfish village chief.
"What's the matter with him?"
The village chief of the catfish looked frightened, thinking that he had angered Ji Chen, and replied tremblingly.
"This guy was picked up from outside a few years ago, and his brain may have been injured, so he always says strange things all day."
"If he offends your lordship, please forgive him."
As soon as these words came out, the strange catfish spirit struggled even more intensely, and with a strong rush, it broke free from the restraints and rushed over.
This made Alice and Anina, who were waiting next to them, immediately want to kill them, but Ji Chen raised his hand to stop them.
He could feel that the combat power of this catfish spirit was not even as good as that of a chicken.
The catfish spirit rushed to the front and said excitedly.
"My lord, my name is Andal, and I am a descendant of the previous Water Dragon King in Dragon King City, and because of persecution, I had to secretly leave Water Dragon City and live incognito in Catfish Village, waiting for the opportunity to return to Dragon King City."
"If you can help me return to Dragon King City and regain the position of Water Dragon King, then I will make you the general of Water Dragon City, and I will also give you a large number of rare resources and treasures!"
Ji Chen's face was a little strange.
This sounds a bit like Blue Star's fraudulent information, just like Qin Shi Huang's or something...
But it did interest him.
"You said you were a descendant of the previous Water Dragon King? Do you mean that the throne of the Water Dragon King was originally inherited by you? β
Andal nodded frantically, his big wise eyes welling up with excitement, "That's right, when my father was seriously ill, he said that he wanted to pass the throne to me, but my brother Diego killed him and claimed that his father had passed the throne to him and wanted to kill me secretly. β
"Fortunately, one of my father's loyal generals secretly sent me out of the Dragon King City, and before he died, he said that I would secretly accumulate strength to regain the throne one day, otherwise Diego's extremely belligerent guy will definitely drag the Dragon King Palace into the abyss!"
"I've been pretending to be a fool and hiding myself in Catfish Village, but after so many years, I didn't find any chance, until I saw you today!"
Andal's big eyes were full of excitement, "As long as you are willing to help me reclaim the throne, I am willing to give you anything!" β
"Including what my father told me, Water Dragon City treasures the secret treasure trove of rare treasures!"
Yo, it sounds like a plot in a costume TV series, what kind of fallen prince regains the throne.
There are old-fashioned enough.
But I have to admit that Ji Chen is indeed a little interested.
"My lord, don't listen to this fool's nonsense, there is no evidence at all, and the appearance of the Water Dragon King's vein is a bit like a catfish, but it is not like him at all, they have a pair of dragon horns."
"Look, does this guy have it on his head?"
Ji Chen looked at it, and it was indeed not.
"My horns are hidden by the general's treasure to prevent Diego from finding me!"
Andal retorted.
"I believe you're a ghost! If you were the bloodline of the previous Water Dragon King, my name would be read backwards! β
Ji Chen didn't speak, but looked at the confident catfish village chief with strange eyes.
Through the viewing panel function given by the system, he saw Andal's information.
γAndalγ
[Race]: Dragon horn catfish
[Level]: 3
[The bloodline descendant of the previous Water Dragon King, whose physical characteristics are hidden by treasures]
[The power of the bloodline has not yet been stimulated]
[If you help him return to the throne, you may be able to get a lot of money]
Good guys, it really is.
But what's that race?
Dragonhorn catfish?
In this way, the so-called water dragon king is just a catfish with horns!?
Ji Chen was greatly disappointed, he also thought that the Water Dragon King was a real dragon, or at least an ocean dragon.
That's it?
"Stop arguing."
Andal, who was arguing, and the catfish village chief suddenly shut their mouths.
Ji Chen looked at Andal, who was "extremely wise", and said,
"I can help you, but you have to listen to my arrangement."
"Of course!" Andal replied immediately.
Said to the catfish village chief.
"Don't tell me what just happened, or you should know and regret it."
"Of course, we're going to keep our mouths shut!" Seeing the serious look on Ji Chen's face, the village chief of Catfish hurriedly said.
Ji Chen nodded, forgiving this group of catfish spirits and not daring.
After thinking about it, he took out thousands of units of food and threw them to the catfish spirits.
"These are the rewards for you."
The catfish looked overjoyed, "Thank you for your kindness." β
Under the gaze of the residents of Catfish Village, Ji Chen left here with the army and Andal, who wanted to regain the throne, and walked outside the basin.
Half an hour later.
When they reached the top of the eastern side of the basin, they saw a wider canyon road, and when they passed through it, they came to a huge basin with no end in sight.
Originally, he planned to go to the Coral Palace first, see what the Lord of Coral Fishing was, and if it was pleasing to the eye and friendly, he would help him kill Water Dragon City, and then earn rewards and the wealth of Water Dragon City.
But now it seems that the plan needs to be changed somewhat.
The name of the new plan is "The Return of the Fallen Prince to the Throne Strategy Plan".
But he can't really be stupid and take the army directly to Dry Water Dragon City, and now he still has to go to the Sango Palace first, and then further plan the next plan.
As soon as he thought of this, Ji Chen didn't delay any longer, waved his big hand, and walked in the direction of the so-called fluorescent forest in the mouth of the catfish village chief.
