According to the general situation, the average strength of the Feather People is quite high, and in the case of Augustus, the Feather Man Clan, the warriors basically have the level of a sixth-order 1-star, and the number is about two thousand people, and this power is good even if it is placed in the main world.

But after all, the feathered people and the elves have the same problem, that is, the breeding ability is weak, the average combat power is high but the number is scarce, and the war and development potential are far inferior to human races.

This makes them act in a constrained manner, fearing the death or injury of their clansmen, which further reduces their ability to obtain resources, resulting in fewer resources for the population to reproduce. After such a vicious circle, it has become as rare as a protected animal.

Just when Patethea felt a little complacent in her heart, she heard Ji Chen say something.

"Watch out for those demonized corpses."

As soon as the words fell, there was a strange sizzling sound in her ears accompanied by the sound of bones rubbing, she was slightly stunned, looked at the ground, and her pupils suddenly narrowed.

I saw those demonized beasts that had been dead for a long time, and at this time, the flesh and blood quickly turned into blood and water like spring and winter snow, and they staggered to their feet with their white bones, and rushed towards her quickly with their mouths.

"Undead!?"

Pathia waved her long sword in a hurry, and with her absolute strength and speed, she slashed several undead beasts in front of her, and was relieved to see that her people had also eliminated other undead beasts.

Ji Chen saw this scene in his eyes and shook his head secretly.

The performance of this feathered hero, who is known as the most powerful feather man of the feather human race, can not be said to be unscathed, and a heritage-level hero actually showed panic when facing a mere fifth-order enemy who was reborn as an undead.

With no power in the air, but no relative combat quality, Ji Chen felt that if she was forbidden to fly, even the rare-level half-orc hero Darrow could defeat her.

Two words, shame!

Three words, it's a shame!

When she came back to her senses and noticed the strange eyes of Ji Chen and the heroes of the Crown of the Sea, Pathia felt a fire on her face, and she wanted to bury her head in the mountains in front of her chest.

She also knew that her performance seemed to be a little sorry for the identity of the inheritance-level hero, and she was ashamed and angry in her heart, and she didn't dare to be angry with Ji Chen and them, so she could only hold it in her heart, and soon this anger turned into frustration, making Pathia begin to doubt her life.

Is she really the most powerful warrior of the Feathered Clan?

Ignoring Pathia, who was in a depressed mood for a while, Ji Chen asked about the place where the sea elves lived, and after it was under this water, he took the crown of the ocean and made a group of people dive into the water and began to search.

This ocean has been completely polluted, and it is difficult for normal creatures to survive here, and if you don't kill each other in this environment for a long time, you will become demonic creatures like demonized skeleton crawlers and demonized beasts.

And this process has lasted for hundreds of years, and under such a long period of erosion, a large number of demonized creatures have appeared, and he doesn't know if those sea elves can still hold on.

Not long after they dived into the sea, Ji Chen and the others were attacked by several waves of demonized creatures, in addition to the demonized skeleton crawlers, other demonized fish, demonized whale sharks, etc. appeared one after another.

After these low-level creatures were demonized, their strength increased several times, and they became extremely crazy and chaotic, and he even saw these demonized creatures killing each other because of the crowding.

This kind of performance made Ji Chen even more sure of one thing, there must be some kind of evil related to demons in this ocean, which polluted the ocean and also demonized these sea creatures.

In the early stage of the Divine War hundreds of thousands of years ago, the reason why the demon clan was able to fight several powerful orderly races with the power of one clan was to rely on the ability to pollute and demonize, summon a large number of demonized vassals as servant troops, and kill each other with numbers.

This tactic was not until the mid-stage orderly camp developed a special purification spell and cultivated a special purification class to effectively purify the polluted environment and heal demonic creatures, which reversed this decline.

However, after hundreds of thousands of years of demonic suppression, how much power can the Orderly camp leave behind against the demons?

And once he was really invaded by the demons again without defense, he didn't believe that he could hold back for hundreds of thousands of years, and he wanted to make a big wave of demons without preparing to deal with this kind of purification in advance.

If a demonic invasion is inevitable, the crown of the sea will light a torch to alert the unsuspecting before the coming night.

With a heavy heart, Ji Chen and the others defeated waves of demonized creatures, and gradually dived into the deep sea, and when they passed through a stone forest under the sea, the residence of the sea elves appeared in the distance.

It is a city built on the edge of a huge submarine mountain, and dense buildings with white as the main body are built around one side of the submarine mountain, and it winds upwards for dozens of floors until it reaches the top of the mountain, which is full of three-dimensionality.

Walls, towers, castles should all have it.

In terms of the grandeur of the city, it is not much inferior to Heraclion in the Dungeon of the Battle of Parnas.

A semi-circular blue shield is upside down, enclosing the entire city under its protection, as if it were a prison cage.

Outside, tens of thousands of demonic creatures were attacking the shield, sending ripples like folded skin on it.

And inside the shield, the sea elves watched all this with numb faces.

A council chamber in the middle of the city.

Dozens of sea elf nobles sat on either side of a table made of coral, chattering noisily, their eyes full of uneasiness and anxiety.

"When will these demonized creatures stop? It's been two years!! Don't they have to rest!? ”

"They really don't need to rest, these demonized creatures have been completely polluted by the demonic energy spread by the demons, and the demonic energy controls their bodies and souls, and it will not stop until their lives are consumed."

"If we continue like this, our reserve resources will be exhausted sooner or later, not to mention food, the shield will almost not be able to last, once there is no shield, we will not be able to last a day with so many demonized creatures!"

"But there's no way, isn't it? If you go out, you will die, and you can survive for some time by hiding in the shield. ”

"What about our allies?"

"You mean the Feathered Clan? They live on the Floating Mountain, and it is estimated that they have not been attacked by demonized creatures, but don't count on them to come to support, the feathered people can't get into the water. ”

Looking at the noisy appearance in the council hall, Patriarch Alvin frowned, patted the coral table hard, and the rippling water made many sea elf nobles slowly quiet down.

Seeing that they were all looking at him, Alwyn seemed to have made up his mind, and said, "I propose a plan to find an appropriate time to forcibly break through the encirclement of demonized creatures and leave this secret realm for the main world. ”

"Forced breakthrough? How many people would have to die to do this? ”

"That's right, I'm not optimistic about this proposal, even if we can break through the encirclement of demonic creatures outside the city, we may not be able to successfully leave the secret realm, these demonized creatures are everywhere!"

As soon as the words fell, several Sea Elf nobles expressed their objections.

Alwyn said in a deep voice: "Everyone also knows that if we continue to cling to it, it will be a slow death, sooner or later we will run out of resources, and once the demonic creature breaks through the shield, I am afraid that not many clansmen will survive."

Now we can only take advantage of our strength to still be enough, concentrate our strength and resources to open a way of life, and let as many clansmen evacuate as possible, otherwise if we continue to delay and our strength will continue to decline, then our sea elf bloodline will be cut off here. ”

Alvin looked left and right, and his tone became more heavy, "More importantly, we must tell the outside races about the situation here, and warn them to beware of the invasion of demons. ”

"It's our responsibility and responsibility."

Hearing these words, the sea elf nobles who didn't speak just now couldn't help but nod, and several ocean nobles who expressed their opposition also fell silent.

After two years of investigation, they have also learned the source of these demonized creatures - demons.

More specifically, it is Balzana, the dreaded demon king of the demon clan, who was the leader of the spread of polluted demonic beings in the divine war hundreds of thousands of years ago.

This time, Balzana wanted to carry out the plan of hundreds of thousands of years ago, intending to spread destruction and death to the Overworld once again.

Although they have separated from their elven compatriots on land, and even their appearance is far from the same, in the face of such a crisis that affects the whole world, they must stand up without hesitation, like the elven ancestors hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Alvin made the final decision: "That's it, let's all go back and prepare." ”

Just as the sea elf nobles were leaving, a soldier suddenly came in from outside, and said with a hurried face.

"Lord Elwin, the demonic hordes outside the city have been restless. There's a human with an army and it's starting to break in! ”

Alvin was stunned, but quickly reacted, "Go and pick them up!" Feel free to open the shroud and let them in! ”

More than ten minutes ago.

"I'm good, there are so many demonic creatures here?"

Solidas looked at the demonized creatures that surrounded the shield one after another, and couldn't help but say, "It seems that there are still alive in this underwater city, otherwise these demonized creatures would not have gathered so much." ”

"This may be the reason why the sea elves have broken off contact with the Feathered Humans." Ji Chen looked at the dense black dots that were as many as mayflies.

Seeing this scene, all the heroes understood that the sea elves didn't want to contact the Feather Human Race, but they were blocked by so many demonized creatures at the door of their homes and couldn't get out, and there was no way to get in touch.

That's good news, at least the Sea Elves are still alive.

However, in order to enter this sea elf city, you must pass through the demonic biode. And there are at least 100,000 demonized creatures guarding outside the shield, and it doesn't seem like a good idea to force your way in.

But the solution is simple.

"Rush Erba, you take a part of the dragon blood legion to attract demonized creatures, create an opportunity for us to enter, use the speed advantage to get rid of the pursuit, and the feathered people will pick you up."

It's not the first time I've done this, and I'm immediately saying, "Follow your will." ”

This tactic is not much different from the last time the sea beast tide seduced the sea beasts, and these demonized creatures have a high degree of unity with the sea beasts of the sea beast tide, that is, in the absence of command, the brain is not very good.

Especially after the demonic creatures are eroded and polluted, the whole head is only left with the idea of attack and destruction, and an IQ of 10 is not bad, so this tactic is absolutely effective.

"Alice, Anina will come in with me, and the rest will be waiting outside."

"Lord, wouldn't this be too dangerous, what if those sea elves didn't open their shields and let you in?" Herardo said angrily.

Ji Chen waved his hand, "It's okay, it's not too late for you to support when the time comes." I need you to be out there. ”

Seeing that Ji Chen's face was firm, the other heroes couldn't say anything, so they could only take orders.

"Sir Solidas, you also wait outside with you, and when I come out of it, you will come and answer me."

"Absolutely." Solidas nodded, anyway, he had already recognized this human being, since Ji Chen dared to do this, he was naturally sure of it.

Soon, Rushing Erba rushed out with hundreds of blue Arowana people, luring away a large number of demonized creatures in the western direction, taking advantage of this opportunity, Ji Chen led the three heroes and all the sixth-order troops to break through from the weak point strongly, and quickly slashed thousands of demonized creatures in the way.

The sea spirits in the city seemed to be aware of them, and immediately opened an entrance large enough on the shield for them to enter, closing the entrance in time before the demonic creatures could catch up.

Not long after the Ocean Champions team entered, a large number of demonized creatures pounced on the shield, causing layers of ripples, but no matter how turbulent it was, the shield showed no signs of breaking, which was enough to see its sturdiness.

Soon, several teams of sea spirits were coming towards them.

The appearance of the sea elves is somewhat different from the elves on land, and the body has some fish features, such as gills for breathing, some flipper-like organs and scales, but it also looks like an elf.

Needless to say, these sea elves politely brought Ji Chen to the city.

A human being who can breathe without gills in the sea and move freely is not easy to look at, and they are not blind, watching their group break through the defense line of demonic creatures and force them in, it makes them feel a sense of hope in their hearts.

Ji Chen was taken to a spacious square at the top of the city, and a sea elf who looked a little superior walked over with a large number of sea elves dressed in gorgeous clothes.

As if they were quickly determined to be the ones who were going to do it, the sea elves led by them came straight to Ji Chen, performed a revised elven etiquette, and said.

"I am the patriarch of this sea elf clan, Elwin, and welcome to your lordship."

Hearing this, Ji Chen's face couldn't help but have a strange look.

Alwyn was stunned when he saw this, "Is there anything inconsiderate about what I said or etiquette?" ”

Ji Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Erwin, what you said earlier is very similar to the first sentence I said when I met His Excellency Augustus. ”

"Augustus? Your Excellency, have you seen him? ”

Ji Chen nodded undeniably and said, "Yes, I also learned about your existence from him, by the way, I am Ji Chen, the lord of the crown of the ocean, from the main world, in order to probe the clues of the demons." ”

As soon as these words came out, a little surprise appeared on the faces of Alwin and many sea elf nobles.

From the Overworld, looking for clues to demons?

Doesn't that mean.

As soon as he thought of this, Alvin couldn't wait to ask, "Your Excellency Ji Chen, has the outside already learned about the demon's imminent invasion?" ”

Ji Chen looked at him and shook his head lightly in their expectant gazes, "It seems that you already know that the demon wants to invade again, but these things can't be said in a while." ”

You're right."

Receiving the opposite answer of expectation, Alvin smiled reluctantly, but he couldn't hide the look of loss in his eyes.

"Then let's go in first."
