After a few minutes, the sounds of battle subsided.

Ji Chen glanced at the progressing experience bar and gestured for the natives to continue moving forward.

“Ah? Oh, yes, my lord,” the bewildered native responded, swallowing hard and quickly obeying.

Their astonishment lingered, for in their understanding, even the most skilled warriors in the tribe would meet a fatal end against the swarm of Razor Jaw Flying Fish. Yet before their eyes, their newly loyal Lord had effortlessly annihilated them all without any casualties.

What kind of extraordinary power was this?

The chieftain s decision seemed wise and correct. Refusal would have likely led them to the same fate as those Razor Jaw Flying Fish.

Ji Chen remained oblivious to the inner thoughts of the natives. Even if he knew, he would only wear a knowing smile.

Those who refused to submit would not face such severe consequences, but their fate would resemble that of the Kobold Tribe.

The first subsidiary island was within reach, and after docking the canoe, Ji Chen instructed the natives to wait while he led his army towards the island.

They began circling the island’s perimeter.

On the muddy shores, several marine creatures basked lazily in the sun.

Seizing the opportunity, Ji Chen dispatched them one by one.

After completing a full circle, he had a rough idea of the size and terrain of the island.

The subsidiary island had an oval shape and was only about one-tenth the size of the main island, spanning around ten square kilometers. The surrounding areas consisted of mudflats, while the center was occupied by a large forest.

However, the creatures within the forest remained unknown.

Once he had a better understanding, Ji Chen found an entry point and ventured into the thick vegetation, making his way towards the central area. Although the forest was dense, he only encountered small animals such as rabbits and foxes, without any larger predators like wolves or leopards. This indicated that it was not a reliable source of food and had limited developmental value, considering its considerable distance from the main territory.

As they delved deeper, they soon arrived at the island’s central location.

Before their eyes lay an open clearing amidst the trees.

In the middle of the clearing stood an ancient and rustic altar. Resting atop the altar was a treasure chest, emanating a mesmerizing allure with its twinkling starlight.

Judging by its appearance, it was at least a 2-star-rated treasure chest.

However, Ji Chen did not move. Instead, he took two steps back warily and had the soldiers surround him tightly.

This was because there were dozens of red dots surrounding the altar on the Omniscience map.

1 le was certain of one thing.

Once he approached the altar directly, these hidden monsters would instantly emerge and deliver a deadly blow.

However, upon closer inspection, there was nothing at the locations indicated by the red dots on the map. Not even a stone or a patch of grass could be seen.

There was simply nothing to hide.

Could it be… underground?

With this possibility in mind, he waved his hand, summoning a Murloc.

A Murloc promptly stepped forward.

Swish-

The trident was swiftly thrown­

its tip forcefully pierced into the soil.

“Ding- You have alerted a group of burrowing dragon lizards.”

“…Engage in battle… Our overall morale is at 70 points…”

The soil suddenly arched, and thirty to forty humanoid-sized horned lizards emerged from the ground. Their blood-red eyes were filled with confusion and anger.

Who disturbed their slumber!?

Ji Chen’s gaze fixed upon them as the panel information of these horned lizards appeared before his eyes.

I Earth-drilling Dragon LizardJ

[Level: 10 J

[Tier: 3, 2 stars]

[Skill: Rampage (blue skill, can use the hard horn on the head to attack the enemy)]

Cuticular Scaly Armor (Blue skill, the thick cuticular layer on the back can provide powerful defense)

Burrow (Green skill, able to burrow into the ground to hide)

[Military characteristic: Eat soil (can survive by eating soil and rocks)]

[A lizard with some dragon bloodline. The hard horn on its head cannot be underestimated.]

Ji Chen’s expression was a little strange. He didn’t know what to say.

It was not because of the strength of these monsters, but because of their species.

Just how many new creatures did that giant dragon have? First, it was the Kobolds, then the Ear th-drilling Dragon Lizard. They really didn’t discriminate when it came to mixing different species.

Was this what they called “The Miserable Gale of the Dragon”?

If he had met these dragon lizards before, he would have turned and fled without hesitation.

But now, he had the shallow sea Murlocs and the Naga warriors, all of whom were third-tier units.

His confidence swelled within him.

He faced these fierce dragon lizards without any fear.

However, he was also curious about the altar and the treasure chest atop it.

Being guarded by so many formidable dragon lizards, it couldn’t be something worthless. Perhaps it would bring him some surprises.

He raised his arm and gave the command, and his troops launched their attack.

The sea pixies wielded their staves, and powerful water arrows filled with intense energy shot out.

Boom-

Explosions erupted, splashing water in all directions.

However, the burrowing dragon lizards seemed completely unharmed. The horny layer covering most of their bodies only showed slight damage, barely breaking their defenses.

The water arrows were ineffective!

This was because the level difference between the Sea Pixies and the Earth-drilling Dragon Lizard was too great. There was a total of 9 stars between them.

Under the overwhelming suppression of their tier difference, the damage was significantly reduced.

However, Ji Chen didn’t expect the sea pixies’ attacks to have much effect. The main force in this battle was still the Naga warriors and the Murlocs.

“The sea pixies will continuously launch water arrows for harassment.”

“The Murlocs will throw tridents to inflict ranged damage on the enemy.”

The Naga warriors will hold the front line!’¹

“Alice, provide support with your singing at any time.”

Ji Chen remained calm, issuing his orders methodically.

Upon hearing his commands, the morale of the troops soared, and they quickly acted accordingly.

At the same time, the burrowing dragon lizards on the opposing side also launched their attack.

Coiling their slender bodies into a circular shape, they charged forward like a steamroller, moving at incredible speed.

They kicked up countless tufts of grass and clouds of dust.

The hardened horns on their heads became deadly weapons at such speed, capable of penetrating armor.

Faced with this situation, the Murlocs didn’t hesitate to hurl their tridents.

Clang—

A loud metallic collision rang out.

The tridents bounced off the hard cuticle and scales and stabbed into the ground.

However, the first wave of Earth-drilling Dragon Lizards was also shaken by the huge force contained in it, making them dizzy and swaying.

This wave of tridents forced more than a dozen Earth-drilling Dragon Lizards to stop.

However, the rest of the Earth-drilling Dragon Lizards had already rolled to the front of the formation.

The hard horn, which was terrifying because of its speed, was even more lethal than a sword.

However, the Naga warriors were like mountains, standing motionless at the front.

Their eyes were cruel and cold.

It was as if they would not waver even if a huge rock rolled over from the opposite side.

They stabbed their two blades into the ground and exerted strength with both arms.

The hard horns and the bone blades collided violently.

Dong—

The Earth-drilling Dragon Lizards were sent flying and fell heavily on the ground. They struggled to get up.

The Naga warriors leaned back, and a visible dent could be seen on the bone blades, but other than that, there was no obvious damage.

At a glance, both sides seemed to have tied in this round.

But in Ji Chen s eyes, the Naga Warriors had won.

This was because the Earth-drilling Dragon Lizard s most powerful attack had not worked. It had already used up all three of its axes. How could they defeat him?

“Roar!”

The Naga warriors roared at the sky as if they wanted to vent all the anger in their hearts.

The snake’s tails wriggled quickly, leaving a deep groove in the soil.

They waved the bone blades that were sharper than ordinary metal swords.

They suddenly chopped at the enemies.

Sla –

The Earth-drilling Dragon Lizards that were struggling on the ground instantly had two huge wounds.

Another slash.

A huge lizard’s head flew into the air.

The struggling body gradually lost its response, leaving only occasional spasms..
