He quickly activated the warning lighthouse for detection and expanded the viewing range.

After a while, he indeed discovered eight or nine small squads of sea heirs around the New Moon Islands, scattered in various positions in rhe northeast sea.

Fortunately, it seemed that no sea heirs had invaded the main island yer. They were all hunting in the nearby waters.

However, realizing that this squad of sea heirs had already been wiped out, the rest of the sea heirs were rapidly converging towards this location, and the nearest squad would arrive soon.

“Everyone, hide!”

With his command, all the troops retreated into the overgrown ruins of the city walls, concealing their presence amidst the debris.

In just a few minutes, fifty or sixty sea heirs emerged from the sea and rushed onto the beach.

The grotesque creatures with petal-like heads swayed, seemingly perceiving their surroundings.

Ji Chen hid in the absolute secrecy of the ruins and vegetation, gazing at the group of sea heirs.

A sense of unease swept over him.

Once all the sea heirs gathered, he would annihilate them all at once!

As time pa.s.sed, more and more sea heirs landed from the sea, crowding the narrow beach. Their numbers had reached three to four hundred.

Compared to the previous encounter, their numbers had significantly increased, and not only that, but their strength had also skyrocketed.

[Deep Sea Impaler I

I Race]: Sea Heir

[Tier]: Tier 3, 6 stars

[Skills |: Spine Attack (purple skill, capable of launching highly penetrative spines from its mouthpiece)

Neurotoxin (blue skill, spines coated with a potent neurotoxin capable of affecting movements)

Resilient Epidermis (blue skill, increases defense by 30%)

[Unit Trait]: Hive Mind (mental interconnection among themselves)

Adaptive Evolution (can continuously adapt to the environment and evolve in a favorable direction)

[A mid-tier force among low-level sea heirs]

In just a little over a month, these sea heirs had evolved at a much faster rate than Ji Chen’s units. Currently, only the Dragon Blood Muriocs, his main force, had a higher tier than them. The Naga Warriors, Pure Water Sea Pixies, and others were already significantly lagging behind.

However, the number of Dragon Blood Muriocs was far fewer than the sea heirs, and a direct confrontation would not necessarily give Ji Chen a significant advantage.

It seemed that his unit strength was still far from sufficient…

Snapping back to reality, Ji Chen noticed that the sea heirs gathered on the beach had reached five to six hundred.

This made him feel uneasy.

If their numbers grew even larger, it would be beyond his control.

Fortunately, the appearance of sea heirs seemed to be slowing down, and the number stabilized at over seven hundred.

He could still handle this quant.i.ty.

At that moment, hundreds of dark dots appeared in the distant sky.

At first, Ji Chen thought they were seagulls or falcons, but as they approached, he realized they were flying sea heirs!

Unlike the Deep Sea Impalers crawling on the ground, these airborne sea heirs had slender bodies with bubbles inside them. They had sharp bone beaks resembling bird beaks and a pair of white horn-like wings on their sides.

Ji Chen suddenly realized that these were the flying sea heirs that the ancient civilization had enhanced.

But in his opinion, rather than saying they could fly, it was more like they floated in the air and used their horn-like wings to move slowly.

Just like a small boat that can float on the water but requires oars to a.s.sist in moving, though at a slow speed.

He speculated that these sea heirs had probably hunted birds, which led to the evolution of this unit capable of flight.

[Floating Skyrider]

I Race]: Sea Heir

[Tier]: Tier 3, 7 stars

[Skills |: Acid Spray (Purple Skill, capable of launching highly corrosive liquid that can dissolve rocks)

Levitation (Blue Skill, pouches grow in the body, allowing them to float in the air)

[Unit drafts]: Hive Mind (Mental connection between individuals)

Adaptive Evolution (Capable of continually adapting to the environment and evolving towards advantageous directions)

[Low-level flying force among the sea heirs]

They were only one star higher than the deep sea impalers, but their level had also increased.

However, Ji Chen regarded them with extreme caution.

The reason was simple -they could fly.

Flying meant that these floating skyriders could soar over the islands, overlooking the ground from rhe sky.

In this way, the vast jungle would no longer be an obstacle for the sea heirs’ advance. They could easily discover the Crown of the Ocean and resource points hidden in the jungle, which was not what Ji Chen desired.

“Alice, control those flying ones from the beginning, make sure they don’t discover the Crown of the Ocean and our location!”

“Anina, when the rime comes, take the Naga Warriors and quickly deal with the deep sea impalers.”

“Benbo, shoot down those flying things with the Dragon Blood Muriocs, not leaving a single one!”

“The rest of the units, give it your all!”

He immediately issued orders, a.s.signing tasks to each unit and hero.

Seeing his serious expression, the heroes responded solemnly.

Ji Chen nodded and, as a precaution, took out a Mana Pendant from his backpack and handed it to Alice. If anything unexpected happened, it could quickly replenish mana and turn rhe tide.

Turning to look at the Floating Skyriders approaching in the distance, Ji Chen said in a low voice, “Attack!”

In an instant, Alice took control of all the deep sea impalers and Floating Skyriders, with a tremendous mental pressure instantly weighing on her, as if a mountain was pressing down on her body.

But Alice gritted her teeth and persisted, tightly grasping the Mana Pendant and using it as needed.

Seeing this, the heroes led their units and rushed into the battle.

Anina led the Naga Warriors, charging directly towards the group of Deep Sea Impalers.

Wielding the Dragon Slayer Great Sword, although it was broken, its power was still immense. With a swing, she could kill one, and with a slash, she could cut off a cl.u.s.ter of tentacles.

The Dragon Slayer Great Sword was not only effective against dragons but also worked well against these creatures.

However, the Naga Warriors confronted Deep Sea Impalers that were a whole tier above them and had undergone evolutionary enhancements to bolster their defenses, thereby reducing the agility of the battle. It often required three or four strikes to eliminate a single impaler, resulting in a noticeable decrease in their overall speed.

On the other side, led by Benbo, the Dragon Blood Muriocs transformed into anti-aircraft artillery, tridents soaring into the sky.

These clumsy and sluggish Floating Skyriders were easy to deal with. Their horn-like wings were not resilient and rather fragile, almost like gla.s.s. Ji Chen couldn’t understand how the sea heirs had evolved into this state.

One after another, the Floating Skyriders fell from the sky, landing on the ground and in the sea, mingling with the remnants of the Deep Sea Impalers.

Ji Chen watched as the number of sea heirs gradually decreased, and the crease on his forehead relaxed.

But what he didn’t know was that hundreds of kilometers away from the New Moon Islands, within an underwater cave, an extremely bloated monster suddenly expanded and contracted.

Some strange information entered its mind and began to be deciphered.

On the cave walls, rhe eggs that nurtured the sea heirs emitted a blue light, undergoing an unknown transformation.

“Ding- You have achieved a glorious victory, earning 108,000 experience points, leveling up (13—15).”

“Siren: Alice (Hero) leveled up (13—15).”

“Deep Sea Dragon Whale: Anina (Hero) leveled up (20—>21)/

Murloc: Benbo…”

The level-up notifications flooded the screen, and the generous experience rewards caused all units and heroes to gain two levels.

Only Anina, with her higher level, gained just one level, but she was still delighted as she had been stuck at level 20 for some time.

Ji Chen looked at the battlefield where the smoke had just dissipated.

On the beach and in the sea.

Sea heir corpses and wreckage covered every inch of land, and the ink-green liquid almost completely covered the nearby sea, clinging to the water like oil. It contaminated the water, causing many fish to float belly-up with a strange hue on their bodies.

After the sea heirs died, they dealt one final blow to this land and ocean.

No wonder Anina had mentioned that one of the best ways to deal with sea heir corpses was to burn them with fire. Otherwise, with such contamination, the ocean would eventually become lifeless and stagnant..
