Chapter 664: Demonic Blood Pearl, Evacuation Operation! (3)
....Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Several tens of minutes later, the bloodshot-eyed Anina suddenly noticed an empty s.p.a.ce in front of her and saw the allied heroes like Benbo and others. “We’ve broken through!!”
This statement lifted the spirits of many ocean pixies still fighting and hastened their pace.
Once all the ocean pixies had escaped the encirclement, Ji Chen didn’t hesitate for a moment. He activated the Dragon Twister Storm skill once again, creating a colossal whirlpool spanning kilometers behind them to block the pursuit.
“Take this opportunity to retreat! The corrupted creatures will catch up soon!”
Anina and the other heroes wasted no time and immediately led their forces following Ji Chen outwards. Elwin gritted his teeth and urged his fellow clan members to follow suit.
When they returned to the surface of the sea, Elwin looked back and felt a pang of sorrow.
Of those who had followed him, fewer than six thousand remained—meaning two thousand of their kin had fallen to the clutches of the corrupted creatures.
But there was no time for grief. Elwin approached Ji Chen and asked, “Lord Ji Chen, where should we go from here?”
Ji Chen gazed at the Featherfolk flying in from the distance and replied, “We’ll head to the Featherfolk’s Floating Mountain. It won’t be disturbed by the corrupted creatures.”
A group of a thousand Featherfolk swiftly arrived at the nearby location, led by Patheia, who observed the battered ocean pixie warriors and the Ocean Crown’s forces. She understood that they had just been through a brutal battle.
Without delay, she said, “Lord Ji Chen, you need to leave here quickly. The noses of those corrupted creatures are sharp, and they will catch up soon.”
Ji Chen made a quick decision. “You lead the Featherfolk warriors to cover our retreat.”
“Elwin, make sure the ocean pixie civilians get on the Leviathan Dragon, Heavy Armor Toothfish Riders, Lobster Guardian Knights, and other units for transportation. Otherwise, we’ll be moving too slowly.”
The ocean pixie civilians moved slowly, which hindered their rapid march.
Elwin nodded and quickly organized his people to board these carriers.
A little over ten minutes later, once all the ocean pixie civilians had successfully boarded, the group set off once more, heading towards the direction of the Floating Mountain.
However, in less than an hour’s time, a large number of corrupted creatures were already tracking them by the scent and aura left behind.
Patheia led a thousand Featherfolk who swooped down from the sky, continuously blocking the pursuing creatures with blades and arrows. The Sea Crystal Wyrms spewed beams of light and tore through their enemies with claws.
Occasionally, Featherfolk warriors were pulled into the sea by the corrupted creatures during their dives, instantly torn apart. Some corrupted creatures met their end in the midst of the arrow rain, their disarrayed kin devouring them.
After several hours of rus.h.i.+ng and struggling, the main force successfully returned to the Floating Mountain group.
Using the Floating Water Domain, Ji Chen allowed them to ascend the Floating Mountain. The corrupted creatures that had chased them could only watch in frustration as they roared in vain.
“Finally, we’re safe…” Elwin looked down at the gathering of corrupted creatures below and breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Despite the hards.h.i.+ps along the way, they had managed to successfully withdraw.
With a grateful tone, he said, “Lord Ji Chen, thank you for your a.s.sistance! You are our eternal friend!”
Ji Chen waved his hand dismissively. “You should also thank the Featherfolk clan. If it weren’t for them informing me, I wouldn’t have found you.” “Absolutely!”
Elwin nodded and looked at Patheia, who was standing nearby. He continued, “Patheia, thank you to your Featherfolk clan for coming to our aid. We are truly grateful!”
Patheia hesitated briefly and replied, “There’s no need for such formality. Our two clans have always had a good relations.h.i.+p, and I simply did what I could. Helping you out of danger is something I hoped to see.”
Elwin shook his head and sighed. “I used to hear rumors that you were extremely arrogant, looking down on everyone, and not considering others. Now, it seems that those were just baseless rumors. Patheia, you not only possess great power but also a humble heart. I believe you will reach even greater heights in the future.”
Patheia felt a bit embarra.s.sed by his words and, for some reason, glanced quietly at Ji Chen, who was not paying her any attention. She couldn’t help but sigh softly to herself. Those rumors were indeed factual—she had merely been humbled by a greater power than her own fantasies..
