With the giant turtleās shell, accommodating these hundreds of divine trees was a breeze.
Aside from the towering towers, magical spires, barracks, and other buildings, Ji Chen estimated that he could transplant tens of thousands more onto the turtleās shell, provided there were enough divine trees available for transplantation.
Ji Chen even had a bold idea: to surround the New Moon Islands with these divine trees, utilizing their curse-inducing properties to form a natural barrier.
He couldnāt wait to see who would dare invade the Crown of the Ocean with such a terrifying curse-laden circle of trees in place!
About five hundred divine trees were transplanted one by one. The once neatly arranged island now bore numerous holes left by the dug-up trees, making it look as unsightly as pockmarks on a face.
Ji Chen gazed at the sizable grove of divine trees on the turtleās back, nodding with satisfaction.
With a sweep of his hand, he declared, āLetās continue onward!ā
Feeling almost no change in the weight on its back, the giant turtle started to move upon hearing Ji Chenās command. After turning around, it began to swim deeper into the Sea of Death.
However, the further they ventured, the more something felt amiss.
The silent sea surface rippled slightly, surrounded by utter silence with no sign of any living creatures.
āItās too quiet,ā the giant turtle rumbled. āWeāve passed through several marine warlordsā territories, but we havenāt even encountered a patrol, which doesnāt make sense.
In the past, they were very territorial. Once they detected other warlordsā troops crossing their borders, they would send out large numbers of troops to counterattack, often resulting in thousands of casualties. So why is it so peaceful now?ā
Ji Chen furrowed his brow slightly. Indeed, the journey had been too quiet. They hadnāt encountered even a single living marine creature.
Could something have happened?
At that moment, Patheia, who had been scouting the sky, swiftly descended. As she approached the ground, her pure white wings suddenly spread out behind her, countering the impact of her descent. With a graceful twist, she landed smoothly.
Ji Chenās eyes showed a hint of appreciation.
āNot bad, very skillful.ā
Upon hearing his words, Patheia, who had already become a qualified warrior after experiencing numerous battles since leaving the Floating Island, blushed at once.
āItās⦠itās all thanks to your guidance, My Lord!ā
Seeing Patheia, who had instantly shed her image as a resolute female warrior and was blushing profusely, Ji Chen couldnāt help but smile.
āI canāt teach you to fly without wings⦠Right, did you find anything?ā
Turning to business, Patheia regained her composure and said seriously, āJust now, I spotted what seems to be two armies fighting in the northwest direction.ā
āFighting?ā
āIt looks like thereās quite a number on both sides, probably totaling four or five thousand.ā
Ji Chen nodded and didnāt hesitate.
āGiant turtle, letās head northwest.ā
āUnderstood.ā
The massive āislandā immediately changed direction, moving faster than before.
Soon, everyone saw the two armies fighting. One was composed of shrimp people, while the other consisted of crab people.
They seemed unaware of an approaching āislandā and remained focused on their adversaries ahead.
āFor the glory of our lord, kill the enemy!!ā
āHail Lord Marxsan!!ā
The two armies, guided by different beliefs, continued to charge forward under the command of their respective leaders.
It wasnāt until the āislandā grew larger and clearer that they realized something was amiss.
āLook, what the heck is that!?ā
Boom!
The giant turtleās massive body rose up, causing a deluge of seawater to cascade down.
Thousands of marine troops were thrown off balance, staggering and looking extremely terrified.
It wasnāt an island but a gigantic turtle with no end in sight!
At that moment, a figure leaped from the turtleās back. As it was about to hit the sea surface, its speed slowed down as if losing gravity, landing on the water like a falling leaf.
There was no trace of disturbance in the water, not even a splash.
This astonished them.
What kind of power was this?
Ji Chen scanned the marine troops, who had stopped fighting under the intimidation of the giant turtle, and walked over to them.
He said calmly, āBring out your leaders.ā
Realizing that this was an extraordinary individual, the leaders of the two armies quickly emerged from their ranks and approached him, showing reverence and awe.
āSir, may I ask what brings you here?ā the shrimp person leader asked respectfully.
Ji Chen surveyed the shrimp and crab leaders, noticing the reverence and awe in their eyes, but their expressions suggested that they were not seeing humans for the first time.
Could it be that there were other humans in the Sea of Death?
Curiosity arose in his mind as he inquired, āAre there humans here in the Sea of Death?ā
Upon hearing this, the shrimp leader and crab leader quickly realized that Ji Chen was from the outside world. The shrimp leader hurriedly replied, āSir, every year, some humans, elves, and other races from the outside world accidentally enter the Sea of Death, so we arenāt too surprised to see you.ā
The shrimp leader quickly added, āMost of those humans and elves who have strayed into our territory have gathered on a group of islands to the north of this sea. They have established their own settlements⦠Itās not far from the Ocean Godās Shrine. If there are any disturbances there, itās likely to affect them too.ā
Ocean Godās Shrine?
Ji Chen squinted his eyes. It sounded like what the giant turtle had mentioned, the name of the artifact left behind by the Ocean God..
