The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

Chapter 288: The Temptation of Evolution, Battle, Straight to the Point

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Following Ji Chen, there were three colossal beasts reminiscent of ancient times.

The Tyrant Azure Dragon suddenly burst from the water, spewing an extreme chill that froze a large portion of the Sea Heirs. Then, with a powerful swing of its tail, akin to a heavy hammer, it ruthlessly shattered the frozen Sea Heirs, scattering ice and broken flesh into the air.

Consecutive icy breath attacks froze hundreds of Sea Heirs each time, resembling a one-sided slaughter. The Sea Heirs had no chance or strength to fight back.

The gap in power between Tier Five units and Tier Three or Four Sea Heirs was insurmountable.

The Sea Heirs attempting to breach the city and inflict massive casualties dwindled, reducing the pressure on Benbo and his troops.

At this moment, the reinforcements led by Daro finally broke through the blockade and reached the fortress. With the protection of the defending forces, they entered the city gates to assist in its defense.

Ji Chen only glanced casually before entrusting this battlefield to them.

As long as the fortress held, the eastern side of the Crown of the Ocean would remain safe.

What concerned him most now was the situation on the western defense line under Anina’s command.

On the way to that location, he took a moment to check the current state of the territory’s morale.

Events like war, attacks, natural disasters, and famine could all have an impact on the people’s morale.

The panel displayed that the current morale was at 80, slightly lower than the 84-85 points before the war. However, this decrease wasn’t significant, indicating that the residents of the Crown of the Ocean had a great deal of trust in their Lord. They believed he could lead the territory safely through this crisis, which brought Ji Chen a sense of gratification. His kindness toward them had not been in vain.

In the western jungle.

Anina vigorously shook her greatsword, removing the filth that had clung to it from the countless Sea Heir corpses on the ground. Stepping over the bodies of the Sea Heirs, she approached a particularly unusual one, her expression solemn.

At this moment, a rustling sound came from the forest behind her, causing her to tense up and turn to look. However, her expression quickly relaxed, and a hint of joy appeared on her face. “Lord!”

The newcomer was none other than Ji Chen. After leaving the eastern battlefield, he rushed to the western front, taking some time to locate his own troops.

“How’s the situation here?”

“At present, most of the Sea Heirs that entered the jungle have been eliminated. Naga Berserkers and the elven squad are currently dealing with the remaining stragglers.”

Ji Chen nodded, indicating that the situation was relatively good. He then asked, “What were you looking at just now? You seemed quite serious.”

“Lord, I think you should take a look at this Sea Heir.”

Anina said as she stepped aside, revealing the unique Sea Heir. The Sea Heir in front of them was extraordinarily unusual.

It had evolved to the point where it had deviated from its original form, developing some human-like physical characteristics.

Although somewhat abstract, the lower part of its body had clearly evolved into a pair of legs composed of intertwined tentacles. At the ends of these tentacles, there were formations resembling toes.

Although the upper part still had disgusting tentacles and a petal-like head, it was not difficult to see that the sea heir was evolving towards the direction of humans, with a structure more suitable for walking on land.

Ji Chen’s greatest concern had become a reality: sea heirs were now beginning to evolve following the human template, and the pace was remarkably swift. In a mere one or two months, they had developed features akin to legs. Considering this rate of progress, wouldn’t it be a matter of just a few years before they fully resembled humans?

Appearing just like humans but actually being sea heirs, they could effortlessly blend into human society, going unnoticed by anyone.

Thinking about this, Ji Chen couldn’t help but shudder. This unreasonable evolution ability was like a cheat!

If it wasn’t stopped, who knows what bizarre form the sea heirs would take on in a few decades.

Suddenly, he felt a strong urge to completely resolve the sea heir issue.

After pondering for a moment, Ji Chen spoke with great seriousness.

“Anina, I’m entrusting you with an extremely important task…”

On the south beach, Alice commanded the lobster knights to once again repel a wave of sea heirs. Thousands of sea heir corpses floated near the coast, their viscous blood clinging to the sea’s surface like oil, blocking out the sunlight.

The foul smell and toxins emitted caused fish to die in large numbers, and even birds stayed far away from the area.

Even in death, sea heirs continued to release their residual heat.

Faced with the toxic blood, the lobster knights dared not approach too closely. They could only kill the sea heirs at the periphery, but with each kill, the area covered by the floating blood expanded.

Gradually, this layer of blood occupied a large area near the shore.

However, in such an environment, the surviving sea heirs remained lively. They relied on the layer of blood on the sea’s surface to inch closer to the beach.

Boom!

The Alchemy Death Cannon once again spewed flames, evaporating a large number of sea heirs. But more sea heirs had already entered the shallow water, less than fifty meters from the beach. Due to their size, the lobster knights could no longer charge forward.

A melee battle was about to erupt.

Sensing this, Alice promptly ordered the lobster knights to temporarily retreat and wait for the right moment. Then, she had all the Ruins Guardians take their place on the beach, forming a defense line that stretched over a hundred meters wide, with three rows arranged from front to back..
