Of course, players could also obtain building blueprints for construction through channels such as treasure chests and trading.

A clamor of voices came.

About ten villagers hurriedly ran back to the territory.

Their faces showed some anxiety.

Ji Chen remembered them. They were responsible for the fishing operations at the sea bass fishery.

Had there been a problem over there?

…..

He walked over with his hands behind his back.

“What happened?”

Seeing him, the villagers seemed to have found their backbone and quickly saluted.

“My lord, there was a situation at the sea bass fishery.”

“A group of monsters crawled out of the sea!’1

“Did anyone get injured or killed?”

“No.” They shook their heads. “As soon as we saw those monsters, we immediately climbed ashore and escaped.”

Ji Chen nodded, relieved that no one had been injured or killed.

But he had a thought and asked, “What did those monsters look like?”

“They were extremely bizarre!” one of the villagers said fearfully. “They were like flowers with legs, and there were terrifying spikes on their petal-like heads.”

“That’s right, it was so scary.”

He narrowed his eyes.

The kobolds had mentioned before that several years ago, powerful monsters attacked them. The slain kobolds were taken back to the sea as food.

Those monsters were also described as walking flowers.

It matched exactly with the villagers’ description.

Wow.

These monsters were treating this archipelago as their livestock farm.

Every once in a while, when the “lambs” grew fat and strong, they would come here to harvest their food?

But it all depended on the master when it came to dealing with dogs.

Now that he had enslaved the kobolds, they served as an important labor force in the territory.

Although they were at the lowest level, they were still a vital part of the territory.

And now this archipelago was his territory. Could he allow these monsters to come and go as they pleased?

With this thought in mind, Ji Chen furrowed his brows and quickly headed to the sea bass fishery with his army.

To reach the scene as quickly as possible, they didn’t follow the coastline but cut through the jungle along a newly opened path.

After more than ten minutes, they arrived at their destination.

On the mudflats.

Lurking there were numerous monsters.

He narrowed his eyes and took a closer look.

Based on the descriptions from the kobolds and the villagers, he knew that the appearance of these monsters was extremely bizarre.

However, he didn’t expect them to be this grotesque.

The lower half of their bodies consisted of dozens of intertwined tentacles, wriggling and leaving behind a trail of slime as they moved.

On top was a head resembling a flower petal, with a long snout-like appendage that had a sharp spike inside it.

The spike reflected an eerie color, indicating the presence of some toxin.

Disgusting, absolutely disgusting.

How could such abominations emerge in the ocean?

He already felt a strong aversion towards them, wishing to eliminate them immediately.

But Ji Chen chose to restrain himself for now.

Being able to kill so many kobolds and treat this place as a livestock farm meant that these creatures possessed extraordinary strength.

To be cautious, it was necessary to first assess their true capabilities.

[Deep Sea Impalerl

[Race]: Sea Heirs

[Tier]: 2nd Tier, 9 stars

[Skills 1: Spine Projection (Blue Skill: Able to launch highly penetrating spikes from its mouthpiece, capable of piercing through rocks)

Neurotoxin (Green Skill: The spikes carried a potent neurotoxin that affected movement)

[Unit Characteristics!: Hive Mind (Mental connection between individuals)

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

[Backbone Force in the Lower Sea Heirs]

Despite having only two skills, its tier was remarkably high at 2nd Tier, with 9 stars.

What was even more peculiar was that this sea heir creature had two-unit characteristics.

Hive Mind…

Evolution…

A serious expression filled Ji Chen’s face, sensing that these creatures resembled a certain race.

Not only were these monsters repulsive in appearance, but their inner qualities were also extraordinary.

“It seems we have to be cautious in dealing with these creatures…”

Facing such eerie monsters, he maximized his caution.

Turning back to Alice and the army, he spoke earnestly.

“When the battle begins, immediately use the Song of Temptation to control them, don’t give them any chance to react.”

“And don’t let a single one escape. Eliminate them all on this mudflat, leave none behind!”

With that, Jichen squinted his eyes.

In a low voice, he exhaled, “Attack! ”

As soon as the words left his mouth, the focused Alice gently opened her lips, and her resonating voice quickly spread across the entire mudflat.

The Deep Sea Impalers squirming body trembled slightly, and then it instantly froze on the spot.

When Ji Chen saw this, he waved his fist excitedly.

Since the singing was effective, it would be much easier.

The Murlocs suddenly threw out his trident.

These Deep Sea Impalers looked disgusting and ferocious, but fortunately, their defense was not outstanding.

Under the relentless assault of sharp tridents and impaling mouthparts, the Deep Sea Impalers met their demise.

Their bodies were pierced, releasing a burst of green blood akin to puncturing a water-filled balloon.

A pungent and sour odor filled the air.

A horde of around two hundred Deep Sea Impalers had been lurking on the mudflat.

Their sheer numbers and high tier made them formidable opponents, surpassing the ordinary 2nd Tier, 3-star Kobold Workers, and the 2nd Tier, 7-star Dragon Vein Kobolds. The intervention of Jichen prevented another wave of annihilation, sparing the grateful kobolds from their impending doom.

The Deep Sea Impalers considered this island their livestock farm, feasting on the hapless kobolds until they grew fat and strong enough to be consumed.

…..

However, Ji Chen knew better than to underestimate them. These grotesque creatures possessed unique characteristics that set them apart.

Their appearance was repulsive, with their lower bodies comprised of numerous intertwined tentacles, leaving behind a trail of viscous slime as they moved.

On top of their bodies were petal-like heads, adorned with long proboscis-like mouthparts that housed sharp spikes.

These spikes reflected an eerie sheen, hinting at the presence of potent toxins.

Disgusted by their presence, Jichen’s aversion fueled his determination to eliminate them swiftly.

But he exercised caution, knowing that creatures capable of slaughtering so many kobolds and treating this island as their personal grazing grounds must possess formidable power.

To assess their strength and capabilities, Jichen ordered his forces to engage cautiously.

He instructed Alice to use her mesmerizing songs to mesmerize and control the Deep Sea Impalers, depriving them of any chance to retaliate.

Not a single one was to be spared; they were to be eradicated from the mudflat

With his instructions given, Jichen narrowed his eyes and declared, “Attack!”

Instantly, Alice, fully focused and absorbed in her task, parted her lips, and her enchanting voice resonated across the entire mudflat.

Her alluring melody entranced the Deep Sea Impalers, rendering them vulnerable to the relentless barrage that followed.

The battle ensued, and the Deep Sea Impalers fell victim to the combined might of Jichen’s forces.

Their bodies were impaled by the sharp tridents of the Shallow Sea Murlocs and shredded by the bone blades of the Naga warriors.

Green blood stained the weapons and the ground, giving the scene an eerie ambiance.

The progress of the slaughter was swift and efficient. Faced with little resistance, the enemies were dispatched with ease.

In just a few minutes, the once formidable horde of over two hundred Deep Sea Impalers was reduced to a mere handful.

“Ding- You have achieved a victory of great honor.”

“You have gained 28,800 experience points, and your level has increased from 8 to 9.”

“The Shallow Sea Murlocs, Naga Warriors, and Siren Hero: Alice has also leveled up from 8 to 9.”

“The Sea Pixies have progressed from level 6 to 8.”

Ji Chen’s eyes widened slightly, and a surge of excitement coursed through him. The amount of experience points earned from slaying these Sea Heirs far exceeded his expectations. It was as if each of them was a living vessel of experience.

He couldn’t help but wonder: If he encountered a few more groups of such creatures, would he reach Level 10 in an instant?
