Chapter 522

Combining various pieces of information and clues, it seemed that there was indeed a divine relic attracting the attention of sea beasts and the Bass Kingdom.

If the Bass Kingdom had truly obtained a divine relic capable of reversing the situation, it would not be good news for them.

Regardless, they had to stop the Bass Kingdom!

With this thought, Ji Chen made up his mind.

The sea area was far from land, and it took the Ocean Crown fleet an entire day to reach it.

As they entered this sea area, Ji Chen could clearly feel a strange fluctuation emanating from the center of the sea, casting hues of light into the sky, and creating a beautiful yet eerie atmosphere.

However, upon closer inspection, things didn’t look good at all.

Countless sea beasts occupied every inch of the sea surface, and it seemed like an endless array of various sea beast heads. The constant low growls echoed from the edge of the sea all the way to its center.

Ji Chen, witnessing this “spectacle,” couldn’t help but shudder.

Just how many sea beasts were there here?

“Alice, check if there are any sea beasts in the water.”

Alice dived into the water, and soon resurfaced, saying, “Lord, the sea beasts are only on the surface of the water; they haven’t occupied the underwater.”

Ji Chen nodded slightly; that made things easier. Since they couldn’t pass through on the surface, they could go deep underwater. The prerequisite was not to attract the attention of these numerous sea beasts, as they would be outnumbered.

“Everyone, submerge into the water, but don’t attract the sea beasts’ attention!”

“Yes!”

With that command, numerous heroes and military units followed Ji Chen, diving into the water and slowly advancing toward the center of the sea at a depth of about a hundred meters.

However, the deeper they went, the more alarmed Ji Chen became.

There were tens of millions of sea beasts occupying this area. Under the influence of some unknown force, it seemed that sea beasts from the entire Western-Mid Ocean had gathered here, appearing as if they were waiting for something…

This eerie sight made everyone uneasy.

The sea was dark, and the seawater, blocked from the sunlight by the densely packed sea beasts, was pitch-black. One couldn’t see their own hand in front of their face.

Under Ji Chen’s leadership, they approached the center of the sea, where the strange fluctuations grew stronger. It was a type of energy that couldn’t be emitted by ordinary things. Ji Chen became even more convinced that there must be a divine relic here, and it might be on the verge of awakening.

As Ji Chen cautiously advanced, he suddenly noticed a large area of clear water on the sea surface where no sea beasts were present. Moreover, this clear area was slowly moving.

In their line of sight, dozens of dark shadows resembling ships were moving within this clear space.

This left Ji Chen feeling puzzled; why weren’t the sea beasts bothering these ships?

“Benbo, infiltrate the sea beast group and find out what’s going on with those ships.”

Benbo followed the order, transforming into the form of a Murloc, and successfully infiltrated the group of sea beasts. The sea beasts around him even moved away because of the Dragon’s aura emanating from him.

As he beheld the scene before him, he couldn’t help but be surprised.

Dozens of Bass Kingdom warships were slowly sailing on the sea surface. For some unknown reason, although the sea beasts around them kept roaring, they showed no intention of attacking. It was as if there was something within those ships that made the sea beasts dread them. The sea beasts could only watch helplessly as these warships advanced toward the center of the sea.

Benbo seemed thoughtful as he returned underwater and recounted the details to Ji Chen.

Hearing this, Ji Chen furrowed his brow.

It appeared that these warships were indeed the two Bass Kingdom fleets. They arrived here, yet the sea beasts weren’t attacking them…

Could it be that they possessed something that made the sea beasts wary?
