Several hours later.

After a challenging journey, Ji Chen and his group finally reached the mountaintop. It was covered in a pristine layer of snow, resembling a white carpet. From this vantage point, everything below appeared small and insignificant, giving them a sense of grandeur.

The mountaintop was rugged, with scattered boulders and a central lake that served as the source for numerous waterfalls. As they surveyed the area, they couldn’t help but notice the enormous claw marks deeply embedded in the rocks. These marks seemed as if they had been perfectly carved, with smooth edges that indicated a great force.

Their attention soon turned to a massive cave that stood before them. It was undoubtedly the location of the Dragon’s Nest they had been searching for.

Without wasting any time, Ji Chen led his army towards the cave, arriving at the edge of the lake.

Suddenly, the tranquil surface of the lake erupted into bubbling and churning water. Dozens of humanoid water elementals, standing at a towering two meters tall, emerged from the depths. Their bodies gleamed with a blood-red hue, and they advanced towards Ji Chen’s group with their massive fists raised.

In an instant, a strange and oppressive aura emanated from these water elementals. It affected several units, slowing their movements and obstructing their magical abilities. The Naga warriors managed to hold their ground, albeit with some difficulty, but the lower-tier units like the Shallow Sea Murlocs and Pure Water Sea Pixies suffered significant losses in combat effectiveness even before the battle began.

This peculiar effect reminded Ji Chen of Alice’s unit ability, the Siren Bloodline.

However, Ji Chen, Alice, and Anina remained unaffected by this oppressive pressure.

Perplexed by this new threat, Ji Chen quickly made a decisive command. “Everyone, retreat and remain on guard.”

Hearing this, all the soldiers retreated a certain distance.

Ji Chen looked over.

[Dragonblood Water Elemental]

[Race]: Elemental

[Level]: 17

[Tier]: Tier 3, 9 stars

[Skills]: Dragon’s Might (blue skill, as a water elemental infused with dragon blood, it possesses a certain Dragon’s Might, which grows stronger as the distance decreases)

Elemental Body (blue skill, the elemental body is immune to negative effects such as mental control, curses, and plagues)

Mastery of Mana (blue skill, increases mana recovery speed by 30%)

[Unit Trait]: Elemental Form (immune to water elemental spells, can absorb water elemental spells for regeneration)

[Originally a normal water elemental, it evolved after absorbing dragon blood]

So, it was a water elemental infused with dragon blood. No wonder it possessed a trace of Dragon’s Might that could suppress living beings. Moreover, it was at Tier 3, 9 stars, which was higher than Ji Chen’s three main units. Its unit trait directly countered the Pure Water Sea Pixies.

Alice’s singing had no effect on these elemental creatures.

It could be said that this was the most formidable monster unit they had encountered so far, directly countering Ji Chen.

The Dragonblood Water Elemental had no obvious organs on its body, only a faint human-like silhouette.

With fists raised, it swiftly shot out two water arrows, carrying an unstoppable momentum.

The energy contained in it was even more violent and dense than that of the pure water sea pixies. None of the soldiers present could withstand this attack.

Ji Chen’s expression changed slightly as he raised his hands.

The invisible energy flew out and entangled with the water arrow.

These water arrows that were flying halfway gradually stopped. The two different energies clashed intensely, and after a moment of entanglement, they exploded with a loud bang, splashing water everywhere.

Boom!

The violent energy fluctuation brought about a strong wind, raising a large amount of smoke and dust. Like a hammer, it sent the nearby Dragonblood Water Elemental and Naga Warriors flying.

After the dust settled.

The Dragonblood Water Elemental stood up again without any injuries, but the scales of the Naga warriors broke and they spat out blood. It was obvious that they had suffered considerable injuries.

Benbo, leading his Shallow Sea Murlocs, shouted out as he swiftly hurled his trident towards the Dragonblood Water Elemental. The trident pierced deep into the elemental’s body, akin to striking jelly.

As he pulled back the trident, a significant chunk of the Dragonblood Water Elemental’s body came along with it, leaving a gaping hole.

Under Benbo’s command, the Shallow Sea Murlocs, originally Tier 3, 3-star units, were empowered to a level almost equivalent to Tier 4. They now possessed the strength to confront these formidable Dragonblood Water Elementals.

The wounded Dragonblood Water Elementals trembled, visibly attempting to regenerate their missing flesh. However, their bodies gradually shrank as their wounds slowly healed.

Ji Chen’s forces seemed to have a chance at wearing down the Dragonblood Water Elementals if they could continue their relentless attacks.

But the tides quickly turned as the Dragonblood Water Elementals closed the distance. The overwhelming Dragon’s Might began to weigh down on Ji Chen’s forces, making it difficult for them to breathe.

Even the fierce and mighty Nagas were now contorted with grimaces, their bodies trembling as they struggled against the growing power of the Dragon’s Might.

The Deep Sea Murlocs, affected by the force, could no longer throw their tridents. They could only use them as support to endure the onslaught.

The Pure Water Sea Pixies, who had been mere spectators, huddled together in fear, trembling at the sight.

Ji Chen inwardly cursed their ineptitude and turned his gaze towards Anina.

“It’s time to take action but be cautious.”

The Dragon Whale girl nodded, wielding her colossal sword as she charged forward like a forceful whale in motion..
