Ji Chen instructed Wilus to temporarily restrict the residents from leaving the territory and led his army to rush towards the northeast secondary island, vowing to annihilate the scouting team of sea heirs.
He had a vague premonition that if he couldn’t resolve them properly this time, he might have to face a sea heir army numbering in the thousands in the next encounter.
After learning that they were the culprits responsible for the destruction of the ancient civilization on the New Moon Islands, Ji Chen set aside his arrogance and dared not underestimate them.
They raced all the way, crossing shallow beaches that exposed the sea surface, and arrived at the northeast secondary island.
By this time, the warning lighthouse had already detected the invaders, working in conjunction with the omniscience map.
It was easy to spot more than twenty red dots arranged in a line on the second secondary island. They were wandering along the coast of the secondary island, hunting fish and sea creatures in the vicinity.
Wherever they passed, the clusters of red dots on the map quickly disappeared, forming a huge void centered around them.
They took all kinds of life as they passed, perfectly illustrating what was known as the “Three Lights Policy” policy.
Ji Chen and his people cautiously hid behind the remnants of the city walls, peering out to observe.
Floating on the sea were a group of repulsive-looking Deep Sea Impalers, recklessly shooting their sharp spikes from their mouths, continuously killing the creatures around them.
Any living being struck by their spikes would either die on the spot or become paralyzed as the toxins infiltrated their bodies.
After killing their target, the Deep Sea Impalers would use their tentacles to retrieve and store them in the empty cavity in their abdomen.
It looks like they’re bringing food back?
Despite not knowing whether the Deep Sea Impalers, with their petal-like heads, possessed visual capabilities, Ji Chen persisted in covert observation.
However, they clearly possessed a precise method of sensing the enemy’s position. When Ji Chen saw them hunting several high-speed swordfish, the spikes on their heads seemed to have eyes, accurately predicting the swordfish’s movements and hitting them with precision.
This made Ji Chen feel a slight sense of relief.
Fortunately, he had previously stunned them into submission and swiftly defeated them, denying them any opportunity to retaliate. Otherwise, judging by their formidable attacking prowess, even the prospect of losing half of his army would be viewed as optimistic.
Therefore, this time, Ji Chen planned to repeat the same strategy in dealing with these sea heirs.
He would have Alice directly control them, leaving them no chance to counterattack or transmit information.
However, a sudden realization struck him, recalling that Alice had already attained the purple-tier level with her Temptation Song.
Could he try to manipulate the sea heirs?
Alice’s song was essentially a form of mental attack, invading the target’s mind and soul, thereby achieving control.
The sea heirs had a hive-like mindset, similar to a mental network connecting them. They were linked to each other.
Therefore, could he use this mental network to not only control the sea heirs on-site but also control the other sea heirs within this group?
As this idea appeared in his mind, Ji Chen couldn’t help but be tempted.
He shared his thoughts with Alice and Anina, but it was quickly met with objections.
Anina looked at him with a gaze that seemed to say, “Are you an idiot? If your idea were true, the Sirens would have already ruled over all the sea heir groups, so why would they cause such a headache for countless marine creatures?”
She continued, “Your idea is not without merit, but the problem lies in the fact that a sea heir group is controlled by a Sea Heir leader. To control the sea heirs under its command, you would have to compete for control with the Sea Heir leader. Naturally, you would need greater and stronger mana and spiritual power than the Sea Heir leader. Considering that any leader among the Sea Heirs is deemed, at the very least, a red-tier heroic figure, do you believe Alice possesses the current capability to contend with them?”
Anina spoke with a sarcastic tone, casting a glance at Alice standing beside her.
Alice also honestly said, “My current strength is not enough.”
Ji Chen was immediately disappointed but then quickly regained his composure.
It was just a red-tier heroic figure, and it wouldn’t be long before Alice advanced to that level.
As he spoke, the group of sea heirs approached the vicinity, completely within Alice’s spell range.
Seeing this, Ji Chen didn’t miss the opportunity and decisively ordered Alice to take action.
Her song echoed.
All the sea heirs were controlled.
Under Alice’s manipulation, they began to attack each other.
The Deep Sea Impalers had high attack power; their spikes pierced through bodies like bullets, splattering dark green blood in the sky.
Ji Chen couldn’t help but feel that the defense of this group of Deep Sea Impalers seemed to have increased a bit.
In no time, only one remained out of the twenty-plus sea heirs, and it was swiftly taken down by the Shallow Sea Murlocs with their tridents.
“Ding-… You have gained 3000 experience points.”
Looking at the shattered tentacles floating on the sea’s surface, Ji Chen suddenly realized that something was amiss.
The last time, over two hundred sea heirs were killed on the mudflat. But this time, why were there only twenty-plus?
Weren’t they here to offer themselves?
Realizing that two hundred sea heirs were killed in an instant, if the sea heir leader had sufficient intelligence, even if they were just here for reconnaissance, they wouldn’t have dispatched such a small number of sea heirs. At the very least, there should have been a larger quantity…
Ji Chen’s expression froze.
No, they must have already sent out a large number of sea heirs, and this small team was just one of them.. The rest of them should be nearby, conducting reconnaissance!
