Chapter 659: Ocean Pixies, Elwin
....Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the past, the Featherfolk tribe generally possessed high average strength. In the case of the Augustus Featherfolk tribe, their warriors were typically at the level of Tier 6,1-star. Their numbers were around two thousand in size, and this strength was still considered impressive even in the main world.
However, like the Elves, the Featherfolk tribe shared a common flaw, which was their low breeding capacity. While they had high average combat prowess, their numbers were scarce compared to other races such as humans.
This made them cautious in their actions, fearing casualties among their people. This, in turn, further reduced their ability to acquire resources, leading to a decrease in breeding resources. In this vicious cycle, they had become as rare as protected animals.
Just as Patheia was feeling somewhat complacent, she heard Ji Chen say something.
“Be careful with those corrupted creatures’ corpses.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange sizzling sound accompanied by the friction of bones could be heard. Patheia’s pupils suddenly shrank as she looked at the ground in astonishment.
She saw that the long-dead, corrupted beasts were rapidly turning into blood and flesh, like melting snow in spring. They struggled to stand up with their pale skeletons and rushed towards her as their mouths opened wide.
“Undead!?”
Patheia swung her longsword in a somewhat frantic manner. With her absolute strength and speed, she quickly killed several undead creatures in front of her. Seeing that her fellow Featherfolk were also dealing with the other undead creatures, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Chen, watching this scene, shook his head silently.
The performance of this Featherfolk hero, who was considered the most powerful in the Featherfolk tribe, could only be described as disappointing. When facing resurrected undead enemies of Tier 5, she displayed signs of panic.
Having power alone without the corresponding combat skills, Ji Chen believed that even a rare-tier half-orc hero like Daro could potentially defeat her if flight were prohibited.
In other words, she was an embarra.s.sment, and he was utterly disappointed.
After snapping out of it and noticing the strange looks from Ji Chen and the other heroes of the Ocean Crown, Patheia felt her face burning with embarra.s.sment. She wished she could bury her head in the mountain.
She also knew that her performance seemed to be unworthy of her status as a legacy-tier hero. Feeling a mix of anger and shame, she didn’t dare to vent her frustration on Ji Chen and the others, so she could only keep it to herself. Soon, this anger turned into disappointment, causing Patheia to start questioning her own abilities.
Was she really the strongest warrior of the Featherfolk tribe?
Ignoring Patheia’s moment of emotional turmoil, Ji Chen inquired about the residence of the Ocean Pixies, which was said to be beneath this water area. He then led the heroes of the Ocean Crown, along with the others, to dive underwater and begin their search.
This ocean has been completely polluted, and even normal creatures find it difficult to survive here. Instead of turning on each other, they become corrupted creatures like corrupted skeletal lizards and corrupted beasts.
This process had been ongoing for over a hundred years. Under such prolonged erosion, with the emergence of numerous corrupted creatures, Ji Chen wondered whether the Ocean Pixies could still hold out.
Not long after they had dived into the sea, Ji Chen and his group were attacked by waves of corrupted creatures. Besides the corrupted skeletal lizards, other corrupted fish and even corrupted whales appeared one after another.
After being corrupted, these low-tier creatures gained strength multiple times over and became incredibly frenzied and chaotic. Ji Chen even witnessed these corrupted creatures killing each other due to overcrowding.
Such behavior confirmed Ji Chen’s suspicion that there must be some evil ent.i.ty related to demons within this ocean, which not only polluted the sea but also corrupted the marine creatures.
During the early stages of the Divine War hundreds of thousands of years ago, demons were able to challenge several powerful orderly races single-handedly, thanks to their ability to corrupt and transform creatures, summoning legions of corrupted minions as their servants, overwhelming their opponents through sheer numbers.
This tactic continued until the mid-stage of the Divine War when the orderly faction developed specialized purification spells and breeds, effectively cleansing corrupted environments and healing corrupted creatures, turning the tide in their favor.
However, after hundreds of thousands of years of demon suppression, how much power did the orderly faction have left to combat the demons?
Moreover, Ji Chen couldn’t believe that they would be able to wait silently for hundreds of thousands of years without making preparations to counter this kind of purification, in case demons invaded again without warning.
If a demon invasion was indeed inevitable, then the Ocean Crown would need to light the torches to warn the unprepared before the impending darkness arrived.
With heavy thoughts, Ji Chen and his team continued to defeat wave after wave of corrupted creatures as they gradually ventured into the deep sea. After pa.s.sing through an underwater rocky forest, the residence of the Ocean Pixies suddenly appeared in the distance.
It was a city built alongside a gigantic underwater mountain range, with predominantly white buildings densely surrounding one side of the underwater mountain and extending upwards in layers for dozens of levels until reaching the mountain’s peak, giving it a three-dimensional appearance.
The city had walls, towers, and castles, all contributing to its grandeur.
In terms of the city’s magnificence, it was not much less impressive than Heraklion from the Panas Battle replica.
A semi-circular blue s.h.i.+eld was inverted over the city, enveloping the entire city within its protective barrier, as if it had become a captive cage.
Outside, tens of thousands of corrupted creatures were attacking the s.h.i.+eld, causing concentric ripples to form on its surface, resembling wrinkles on the skin..
