Chapter 407 - 407: So, You’re Actually… Lost Ruins, Undersea Architectures
It was an area covered with countless giant seaweeds, each stretching hundreds of meters long. These flat seaweeds emitted a faint blue light, standing on the seabed like towering skyscrapers glowing in the dark, quite spectacular.
According to the words of the Fallen Prince, Andal, this Luminescent Forest had existed for thousands of years, occupying half the size of the entire basin, hiding numerous lost relics deep within the thick seaweed.
Shortly after entering this “forest”, the Dragon Blood Murlocs exploring ahead relayed a message.
In the distance, they found two different seafood armies locked in battle.
One side, quite familiar to Ji Chen, consisted of shrimp soldiers, crab warriors, and giant turtle sorcerers, undoubtedly the army of the Dragon King City, numbering around a thousand.
The other side was a combination of caterpillars and jellyfish, and Andal’s exclamation had already revealed their identity.
“That’s the Coral Palace’s army!”
Ji Chen squinted and took in the information.
Thorned Sea Worms, 9-star creatures of the Fourth Tier, 500 in number.
Azure Jellyfish, 2-star creatures of the Fifth Tier, 300 in number.
The former was a type of caterpillar, about four to five meters long, covered in thorns and tough skin that emitted a faint green glow, clearly indicating its extreme toxicity.
Using their thorns and tough skin, the Thorned Sea Worms had constructed a thorny defense line that caused the shrimp soldiers and crab warriors rushing in to die from poisoning.
Protected by them, the transparent Azure Jellyfish waved their tiny tentacles, forming bundles of ice spikes, constantly injuring the Dragon King City’s army.
Surprisingly, the Coral Palace’s army, which had slightly fewer numbers than the Dragon King City’s army, seemed to have some advantages.
Both sides had leaders who were Blue Excellent-Tier creatures.
It had to be said that the difficulty of this Great Luminescent Sea Mystic Realm was much higher than the Blood Sea Mystic Realm and the Skeleton Mystic Realm they had encountered before.
In the Blood Sea Mystic Realm, not to mention heroic or leader units, most of the units were Second or Third Tier; in the Skeleton Mystic Realm, although there were many troops, their levels were uneven, and there were only a dozen or so of the high-end units like the Skeleton Wyvern, and most of the monster leaders were White or Green Excellent-Tier.
In contrast, here, even a thousand-man team had Blue Excellent-Tier leaders, and the lowest-ranked units were at least Fourth Tier, 9-star creatures.
If a few such seafood teams were unleashed in the player crowd, they could wreak havoc.
However, Ji Chen’s army had become even more sea-like since the joining of the Lobster Guardian Knights and the Crab Guardians, which had very distinct aquatic features. The scent of seafood had grown stronger.
The monster leader from the Dragon King City took on the appearance of a shrimp soldier and, despite having more troops, couldn’t gain the upper hand. He roared in anger.
“You fools, you can’t even defeat enemies fewer in number than you. You’re embarrassing Water Dragon Lord!
We must not let those idiots from the Coral Palace seize the relics before us. The relics belong to the Dragon King City, to the great Water Dragon Lord!” “Attack them!”
As his words fell, his army’s assault became even fiercer, instantly killing dozens of Thorned Sea Worms and nearly breaking through their defense line. However, they were quickly stabilized by the leader from the Coral Palace, and the battle once again became a tug of war.
Watching this back-and-forth, Ji Chen, who had been observing from the sidelines, grew a bit impatient.
Just as he was about to order his troops to attack, Andar, who was beside him, spoke up.
“Your Excellency, which side do you want to help?”
“Help?”
“Yes, if you help the Coral Palace, I implore you not to kill the Dragon King City’s army. Just restrain them, that’s enough.”
“Why?”
“Although they’ve chased after me, and they’ve done a lot of bad things in the Great Luminescent Sea over the years, they were deceived and manipulated by that jerk Diago.”
“As long as we explain things to them, they’ll surely understand and stop this meaningless conflict.
After all, even the most heinous criminals have the right to reform, don’t they?”
Ji Chen looked in astonishment at Andar, who seemed devout and had a radiant glow on his face.
Well, it turns out this guy is a bit of a goody-two-shoes?
“Why are you so sure they’ll lay down their weapons after listening to you?”
Andar, on the other hand, looked puzzled.
“Of course, as long as we clarify Diago’s evil deeds, they will definitely understand and join me in raising the banner against Diago.”
“Besides, aren’t there your Excellency’s troops?”
Damn, turns out he’s just a naive idiot.
In movies, these kinds of naive idiots are usually the engines of team wipes. Generally, it’s best to kill the “saintly motherf***ers” first when something happens.
In just a few words, Ji Chen had lost the desire to argue with him. If it weren’t for the supposed secret treasure of the Dragon King City, he would have wanted to drive this guy away.
“Remember, what 1 said earlier was to help you return to the Dragon King City and reclaim the throne of the Water Dragon Lord. I have no obligation to teach these armies.”
Ji Chen said seriously and then ignored Andar’s reaction, waving his hand. “All troops, surround them and await my orders.”
With a command, the hidden Ocean Crown Champion team emerged and encircled the two battling sides..
