Chapter 168: Divine Being’s Test

Ji Chen naturally had no knowledge of the conspiracies and intentions of these people. At this moment, he was commanding his troops to deal with a large number of Ruins Guardians.

Thanks to the Naga warriors’ innate skill, Bloodline Regeneration, the Naga warriors who were injured in the first wave of Ruins Guardians were visibly recovering at a rapid pace.

Many Naga warriors returned to the battlefield, stabilizing the crumbling defense line once again.

Seeing this scene, Ji Chen decisively ordered Anina, who was trapped in the enemy lines, to retreat. Her task of diverting the enemy’s attention had been perfectly accomplished.

Upon hearing the command, Anina did not hesitate to smash the Ruins Guardian in front of her with a punch. She twisted her waist, and her strong legs were filled with explosive power as she swiftly ran back.

On her way back, she also casually slashed two Ruins Guardians who tried to stop her.

An opening appeared in the defense line for Anina to enter and immediately closed thereafter.

Clang- Anina, who had safely retreated, planted her Dragon Slayer Great Sword into the ground, her breathing slightly rapid.

It seemed that the intense battle had also consumed her stamina to some extent.

But it was only a moderate degree of exhaustion. Judging by the rate of consumption, she could continue fighting for several more hours at least.

The bloodline of the Deep Sea Dragon Whale gave her strength and stamina far surpassing ordinary creatures. The endurance provided by various combat stamina skills was enough to make the enemy feel desperate.

However, Anina seemed to have mentioned that she hadn’t seen any other Deep Sea Dragon Whales since her mother’s death, which disappointed Ji Chen somewhat.

If he could have a hundred Deep Sea Dragon Whales with the same strength as Anina, he would have the confidence to dominate the entire Western Sea.

The three troops relied on the narrow gorge, preventing the Ruins Guardians from fully utilizing their numerical advantage. Only about a dozen of them could attack at a time, while the rest could only jostle and stare helplessly.

The fifty-meter-wide gorge had become a meat grinder.

The wave of over a thousand Ruins Guardians was peeled away like layers of an onion, gradually reducing their numbers.

Two hours later, the last Ruins Guardian fell with a loud crash, its body torn apart.

A pleasant system prompt sounded.

“Ding- You have achieved a glorious victory… Your level has increased (16-17).”

The experience gained from over a thousand Tier 3, 8-star Ruins Guardians once again boosted Ji Chen’s level, less than half a day after his last upgrade.

Such a speed of leveling could be described as making great strides in a day.

Ji Chen frequently went to sea, enthusiastic about exploring various ruins and unknown dangerous areas precisely for this reason.

Besides seeking treasure, he also aimed to gain experience and level up by defeating monsters.

Otherwise, relying solely on exterminating the sparse wild troops on the New Moon Islands, he had no idea how long it would take to level up.

Moreover, these dangerous and unknown places often contained abundant loot and astonishing rewards.

“Everyone, take a rest in place!”

Ji Chen didn’t rush to advance immediately but loudly commanded.

Engaging in battle without knowing the enemy’s intentions was not a wise move.

First, he analyzed the situation.

“The people plotting against me should also be players who obtained the key to enter this place for exploration, but they arrived earlier than me, which allowed them to know where a large number of Ruins Guardians were located and led them here.”

“However, they haven’t shown themselves yet, most likely because their troops are weaker than mine. Otherwise, there would be no need to go to such lengths to attract so many Ruins Guardians to me. Clearly, they want to use me as a scapegoat.”

“Lastly, this group is obstructing me from entering so fervently for only one reason: this ancient land of the divine realm indeed holds something, and it’s highly likely that they haven’t obtained it yet. Otherwise, after attracting the first wave of Ruins Guardians, they could have left immediately.”

After analyzing the situation, Ji Chen’s mind became much clearer.

“Continuing with this logic, the most likely place where something might be left in this ancient land of the divine realm…”

Looking at the monotonous expanse of ruins, the possibility of finding anything there was low. With a slight thought, he concluded that the towering high tower in the center was the most likely place to contain something.

And the players lurking in the dark, luring monsters and hiding their intentions, were most likely hiding there.

Thinking this, a cold gleam flashed in Ji Chen’s eyes.

When he caught them, he would make them understand the consequences of provoking him, Ji Chen.

After an hour of rest, the injured Naga warriors had recovered considerably. The group set off, heading towards the central high tower.

This time, Ji Chen was much more cautious because the Divine Realm’s ancient land couldn’t use the Omniscience Map, so they had to rely on more primitive reconnaissance methods.

The Naga warriors spread out in a semicircle, with each one extending their range of scouting to include the surrounding areas, keeping a distance of up to five hundred meters from the main force.

While five hundred meters couldn’t compare to the reconnaissance range of the Omniscience Map, it was enough to allow them to react before the enemy attacked.

Soon, the Naga warriors who had entered the ruins discovered the dormant Ruins Guardians and roared loudly to relay the information.

Upon hearing the sound, a team consisting of Dragon Blood Murlocs, Naga warriors, and Pure Water Sea Pixies rushed over.

The sporadic Ruins Guardians posed no threat to them at all.

After a brief battle, the Ruins Guardians were easily defeated.

The group continued advancing while scouting, slowly approaching the high tower as they moved through the ruins..
