The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful Chapter 53: Hero Altar

Chapter 53: Hero Altar

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation     Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The first wave of Earth-drilling Dragon Lizards that rushed up were slaughtered by the Naga warriors.

Blood rained down, accompanied by fragments of flesh, splattering the ground, the altar, and even the trees several meters away.

The scene was gruesomely b.l.o.o.d.y.

Ji Chen smacked his lips and took a few steps back in disgust to prevent blood from splattering all over his face.

Naga warriors were fierce fighters, but they tended to go wild in battle, often turning the scene into a gory dismemberment site.

Meanwhile, the burrow lizards, initially pushed back by the tridents, regained their composure.

Seeing their comrades being mercilessly slaughtered, they immediately coiled their bodies, ready to charge once more.

…..

However, they had no further opportunity to strike.

Ji Chen’s patience with their performance had worn thin.

He raised his arm and called out.

The enchanting voice of Alice filled the air, causing the burrow lizards, with their physical defense but no resistance to spells, to freeze in place.

Their attempt to coil their bodies was interrupted.

Leaving their vulnerable underbellies exposed.

Seizing this golden opportunity, the Murlocs swiftly hurled their tridents once again.

No matter how powerful a creature may be, there are always weak points.

The back of the Earth-drilling Dragon Lizard was covered with hard cuticles and scales, which were enough to withstand the damage of swords and sabers.

However, its abdomen was very fragile, and it was only covered with a layer of soft skin.

Even an average person wielding a sword could easily pierce through it.

And the tridents of the murlocs, designed to tear through metal and rock, were even more formidable.

In the blink of an eye, the tridents found their mark.

With a m.u.f.fled thud, the weapons penetrated their bodies.

The trident stabbed into the Earth-drilling Dragon Lizard’s abdomen. The sharp tip of the trident almost completely sank into its body, crus.h.i.+ng and tearing its soft internal organs.

The trident flew back with a splash of blood.

The tridents forcefully plunged into the underbellies of the burrow lizards, their sharp tips almost completely piercing their bodies, shredding and crus.h.i.+ng their soft internal organs.

The tridents were flung back, leaving a trail of blood in their wake.

The triangular barbs on the trident tips caused secondary damage, enlarging the original wounds several times over.

Shattered organs and blood flowed out like water.

Such injuries brought swift death to the burrow lizards, nearly instantaneously.

After a brief whimper, they became completely motionless, only sporadic unconscious twitching of their nerves remained.

They were dead beyond measure.

The Earth-drilling Dragon Lizards were either stabbed to death or killed by the Naga warriors who came after them.

After the last one was cut into two by the Naga warrior.

The notification of the end of the battle sounded.

“Ding – You have obtained a glorious victory. You have received 2800 experience points.”

“Sea Pixie leveled up (5—6).”

After many days of fighting, the Sea Pixies had already reached Level 6.

However, it was a level behind the Murlocs and Naga warriors.

Ji Chen shook his head and let out a sigh, realizing how quickly the sea pixie had fallen behind, struggling to inflict significant damage on these Dragon Lizards.

It seemed that he had to find a wave of resources to strengthen and upgrade the Sea Pixies.

In terms of potential, the Sea Pixies were not bad.

After all, it was magic damage.

Just a n.o.ble mage profession, coupled with the characteristic of not needing food, was enough for him to spend some effort to cultivate.

He looked at his experience bar.

[Level 7 [88%/ioo%]]

Yes, he was close to Level 8.

Not just himself.

Apart from the Sea Pixies, the experience bars of the other troops were also reaching the end of their level.

He would probably be able to level up after one or two more battles.

Before reaching level 10, leveling up was relatively easier.

As the level increased, the required experience also grew, making it more challenging to level up.

He set a small goal.

Before setting sail on the pirate s.h.i.+p, he aimed to reach level 10!

He once again checked the map.

Confirming the absence of any hidden creatures, he ascended the altar and turned his gaze toward the treasure chest.

[Unlocked Treasure Chest]

[Level: 2 stars]

[There seems to be something inside.]

Without any hesitation, he opened it.

“Ding ~ You have obtained Murloc Ranger Recruiting Camp Core (Tier 2 5 Star) x2.”

The core of the recruitment camp for a tier 2 5-star soldier?

And two!

This was the first time he had obtained a military recruitment camp core from a treasure chest.

Thinking back, the first treasure chest he obtained was the Resource Detection Tower Blueprint, the second was the Crown of Omniscience, and the third treasure chest was temporarily put on hold because he did not have the key.

And this is the fourth treasure chest he encountered in the first place.

His luck was pretty good.

Ji Chen casually took out one of the cores and looked at the stats panel of the army.

[Murloc Ranger]

[Race: Murloc]

[Level: 5]

[Tier: 2, 5 stars]

[Skill: Spine stab attack (blue skill, can use muscles to press the long spikes on the spine, causing them to shoot out)]

Shallow Sea Cruise (Green Skill, Able to Enter Cruise State, Greatly Increases Swimming Speed)

Scent ‘Fracking (Green skill, extremely sensitive sense of smell, able to track enemies over long distances by relying on scent)

[Military characteristic: conservative (will not leave the territory, has a strong sense of territory)]

The second-tier 5-star units might not keep up with the strength of his first-tier units, but they were still considered decent troops.

From their skills and characteristics, they were more suitable for guarding the territory.

This meant that the Murloc Rangers could protect the territory, watch over the Kobold inhabitants, and patrol the islands.

This would completely free up the pirates, allowing them to focus on their designated tasks.

Satisfied, Ji Chen closed the panel and s.h.i.+fted his gaze to the altar beneath his feet.

…..

This altar was clearly not an ordinary object.

Rather than saying there was an altar and a treasure chest, it was more accurate to say that the treasure chest was simply an accompanying gift to this altar.

Looking again, at the edge of the altar stood twelve stone pillars, intricately carved with strange symbols and patterns.

They appeared both ancient and exuded a sense of sacredness.

The floor beneath his feet was also marked with orderly lines, forming a pattern resembling a magical array.

It commanded respect and evoked a sense of awe in anyone who beheld it.

[Hero Altar]

[Level: Special]

[Effect: After activation, it will randomly summon a blue outstanding hero with both apt.i.tude and potential.]

[Activation cost: 3000 units of Mithril, 3000 units of Crystal, 3000 units of Adamantine]

[Remark: Self-destruct after activation]

!!!

He widened his eyes in astonishment.

What a valuable find!

It was an altar that could summon heroes!

Whether it was a hero for battle or for governance, it didn’t matter.

As someone who had Alice, he understood the immense significance of having a Blue-Rank Excellent hero.

One powerful hero could surpa.s.s a thousand soldiers.

Perhaps it was an exaggeration, but there was no denying the tremendous advantages it would bring to the development of his territory.

However, as he looked at the resource requirements for activation, he furrowed his brow.

While 3000 units of Mithril was not a small amount, he could acquire that much from two mini Mithril mines in a short time.

But the real challenge lay in the two advanced resources: Crystal and Fine Gold.

Where could he possibly find such a large quant.i.ty of high-level resources?

Was he supposed to go and s.n.a.t.c.h them?
