The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful Chapter 22

Chapter 22

At this moment, the Naga warrior beside him suddenly became slightly restless. His cold eyes were stained with a trace of blood red, revealing a murderous intent.

[Military characteristic: Out of control (once a Naga smells blood, it will lose control to a certain extent and even ignore orders to attack the enemy crazily)]

The characteristics of the Naga Warriors had been triggered!

Ji Chen frowned slightly, but he quickly reacted.

Could it be…The river was polluted by blood?

How much blood must have been spilled to turn the entire river red?

Ji Chen realized the severity of the situation, and his expression gradually turned grave.

He quickly made the decision to follow the river upstream and investigate the situation at the waterfall pool.

As expected, the previously clear green pond was now dyed red.

Even the clear waterfall had turned into a red one.

In the northeast direction of the territory, the waterfall pool was the farthest he had been to in the past few days. He had not explored further places.

They only knew that the further northeast they went, the higher the terrain. If they kept going, they would eventually reach the mountains northeast of the main island.

Could it be that something strange had happened in the mountains?

He had only explored less than one-tenth of the entire island. The rest of the island was still a mystery to him.

“My Lord, what’s wrong?”

Alice’s sapphire-like eyes were filled with worry as she looked at Ji Chen, who was frowning.

“I’m fine.” He shook his head. “Something must have happened upstream. Let’s go and take a look now. ”

Alice nodded gently, raised her head, and patted her chest confidently. “No matter what happens, leave it to me! ”

Ji Chen smiled.

With Alice’s mesmerizing singing voice and the a.s.sistance of the powerful Naga Warrior, there was no monster that couldn’t be dealt with. Ji Chen simply had to charge through and slash his way to victory.

In an instant, his confidence swelled.

They went around the waterfall from the forest on the side and continued to advance by the river above.

Compared to downstream, the river widened above the waterfall, and the forest on both sides of the river thinned out. The water was also even redder, and he could even detect the faint smell of blood.

He surveyed the distance to the river. “It seems like we’re getting closer to the site of the incident.”

After half an hour, Ji Chen leaned against a rock and gazed up at the river, two to three hundred meters away, with a look of astonishment in his eyes.

Dozens of dog-headed creatures with scales and tails were slaughtering a large number of animals by the riverbank. The fresh blood of the animals flowed into the river, dyeing the flowing water red in an instant.

So it was this group of dog-headed creatures that caused the river to turn red!

A moment of realization flashed in his mind, and he continued to observe.

These dog-headed creatures appeared to have a certain level of civilization.

In addition to the bone knives stained with blood, they also held sharpened obsidian spears and wore coverings made of animal skins and fibers, like early humans in the primitive stages of civilization.

Could the traces he found in the jungle yesterday have been left by them?

However, the next scene made Ji Chen doubt this idea.

He saw several dog-headed creatures waiting for a deer to finish bleeding before eagerly cutting a piece of meat with their bone knives and stuffing it into their mouths to chew on.

Blood flowed down from their mouths, giving off a savage and b.l.o.o.d.y appearance.

However, the presence of remains of bonfires in the jungle suggested that the indigenous people who had left the tracks knew how to use fire. But these dog-headed creatures drank blood and ate meat raw, indicating that they had not reached that level of civilization yet.

[Kobold]

[Level: 6]

[Tier: 2, 3-star]

[Skill: Bloodline power (green skill, has a trace of extremely weak dragon bloodline, has good strength)]

Night Vision (Green skill, has good night vision, can walk freely in dark caves)

Trap (Green skill, knows how to make all kinds of traps)

[Military characteristic: Cunning and treacherous (Kobolds are cunning by nature and will not easily submit to other creatures)]

[Oh, the great dragon, please bestow upon the Kobolds a drop of bloodline!]

Its tier was the same as the Murloc’s, at Tier 2, 3-star.

However, there were at least 70 to 80 of them at a glance, which was much more than the Murlocs and Naga Warriors combined.

But he was not worried at all.

As long as the strength difference wasn’t too great and the number wasn’t overwhelming, they could be defeated. With Alice’s singing voice, no monster was unbeatable.

Were the Kobolds native to this island?

Ji Chen pondered this as he observed them.

Rather than immediately attacking and killing the group of kobolds, he instructed the Naga Warrior and Alice to hide on the side while he brought out the Murlocs openly.

The Kobolds quickly discovered his existence and barked in alarm, their faces full of vigilance.

Ji Chen walked over slowly with a kind look on his face.

“h.e.l.lo, my name is …”

“It’s that d.a.m.ned human! Kill him! ”

“Skin him alive! Human meat is delicious!”

Before he could finish his sentence, the eyes of the Kobolds in front of him suddenly turned red as they said angrily.

Without giving him a chance to speak, they all rushed over with their weapons.

Ji Chen’s face turned cold.

He had originally thought about trying to subdue these dog-headed creatures, just like the cave miners, since the territory was currently in dire need of labor.

But now, it seemed that he had to win a battle first before he could convince them.

Persuasion through reasoning!

“Alice!”

A beautiful and alluring singing voice came from the nearby jungle.

An extremely beautiful and alluring song came from the forest beside him.

In an instant, these Kobolds fell into a daze, and illusions appeared in front of their eyes.

Their behavior was even worse than the trolls. Drool dripped from the corners of their mouths, as if they were hallucinating about some delicious food.

The Murlocs rushed forward the moment the song sounded, killing the Kobolds who did not resist as if they were cutting melons and vegetables.

As soon as only half of the Kobolds remained, Ji Chen signaled Alice to stop singing.

As the enchanting melody faded away, the Kobolds slowly returned to their senses. They licked their lips, reminiscing about how they had made all the creatures on the island submit to them, even creating an illusion of a great existence.

However, in the next moment, their expressions turned to horror.

Less than half of their comrades were still standing!

The rest of them were lying on the ground, with a strange smile on their lips, but their bodies were riddled with holes and their blood was almost drained.

“Human, what have you done?! ”

“What just happened?! ”

Ji Chen stood with his hands behind his back and glanced at them coldly.

“I’ll give you two choices now. One is to submit, and the other is to die.”

“Which one do you choose?”

The Kobolds were extremely shocked by what had just happened and looked at each other.

Seeing that Ji Chen was so close to them, they didn’t dare to attack recklessly, afraid that they would become corpses on the ground the next time they woke up.

Finally, the Kobolds bowed their heads and half-knelt on the ground, speaking in a tone of utmost respect. “We are willing to submit to you, great human.”

But from a hidden angle, a glimpse of cunning and hatred flickered in their lowered eyes.

Ji Chen saw them kneel down to show their submission and nodded gently.

He casually opened the territory panel, but when he saw the column of subjects.

His expression turned cold again.

There were only humans and cave miners in the column of residents.

There were no Kobolds at all.

In other words, these Kobolds were pretending to submit.

He realized that he had made a mistake in his approach. In the past, he had used force and killing to make the cave miners submit to him.

But now, even though he saw that the Kobolds were not easy to submit, he still thought that he could use the same method.

The result was clear.

This method would not work on the Kobolds.

Since there was no value in subduing them, the only path left was to slaughter them.
