Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

At this moment, Augustus received the news brought back by Ji Chen with the Ocean Pixies, hastily flying down from the upper floating mountain.

“Lord Alwin!”

“Lord Augustus!”

The two tribal chiefs who had been living in this hidden realm met once again after several years, and their conversation was filled with nostalgia.

Ji Chen did not participate in their conversation and instead came to the edge of the floating mountain.

After they had climbed the floating mountain, the corrupted creatures did not leave; instead, they gathered in increasing numbers. They emerged from the water, swimming from the distant sea like a horde of zombies, gradually covering the entire sea surface. In their crimson eyes, which were particularly conspicuous in the shadow of the floating mountain, there was greed and longing for flesh.

Solidus also came over and stretched his neck to take a look. He couldn’t help but sneer.

“What do these corrupted creatures want? Could it be that they feel unsatisfied because they couldn’t catch up earlier?”

Patheia, who had heard the commotion, also came to look, without any surprise in her eyes.

They had often been tracked by corrupted creatures on their outings to this place, but the sky was their domain, and those contaminated marine creatures couldn’t even reach the lowest heights of the floating mountain, which were tens of meters high at the very least. So, the floating mountain was an absolutely safe place.

Although more of them had gathered today, it wasn’t surprising considering that they had just fought their way back and attracted more corrupted creatures.

“Have you ever seen corrupted creatures with the ability to fly?”

Patheia hesitated for a moment, looking at Ji Chen and shaking her head. “We’ve only seen corrupted ocean and land creatures, and we’ve never seen any capable of flight.”

Ji Chen rubbed his chin, his expression somewhat solemn. “Since the corruptive energy can affect marine and land creatures, why couldn’t it affect flying creatures as well? But it’s strange that you’ve never seen them in all this time.”

Patheia’s face changed slightly, seemingly realizing something was amiss. She whispered, “Lord Ji Chen, are you suggesting…”

Before she could say anything more, Anina suddenly pointed to the distance and exclaimed, “My lord, there seems to be something unusual in the sky!”

Everyone turned their gaze and saw a large expanse of ominous dark clouds approaching under the gloomy and dim sky.

Upon closer inspection, the black clouds were composed of flying creatures with crimson eyes, emitting an eerie black aura. Vultures, falcons, and various other birds formed a densely packed mass.

“It’s probably that they didn’t reveal their secret to you earlier, so they didn’t need flying corrupted creatures to intervene. But now…”

Ji Chen shrugged and said, “Hurry, organize the warriors to prepare for the invasion.”

Patheia nodded with a grave expression and quickly went to mobilize the Featherfolk warriors.

As if receiving a signal, the oceanic corrupted creatures gathered at the foot of the floating mountain, climbing on top of each other like a pyramid.

Clearly, these corrupted creatures were not merely gathering here but had received orders from the demons controlling them from behind. They aimed to ascend the floating mountain and bury all those who knew their secret—the Featherfolk, Ocean Pixies, and the Ocean Crown army—right here.

The flying corrupted creatures didn’t seem to be in a hurry to launch an immediate attack. They circled in the distance as if waiting for the oceanic corrupted creatures below to land on the floating mountain.

Augustus watched these flying corrupted creatures, his expression filled with horror, and his body trembling.

A look of bewilderment, doubt, and unease appeared on his face as he muttered to himself, “How could this be… these corrupted creatures have hidden so deeply.”

The reason they had been able to thrive in this hidden realm for hundreds, if not thousands, of years was the floating mountain suspended above the sea. This place was like a paradise, capable of warding off the covetous intentions of any land or sea creatures.

Even though the ocean beneath their feet was in chaos, infested with monsters, they could still sit securely on their fishing platform!

But at this moment, this paradise faced its most direct threat, and the natural advantage of flight that the Featherfolk possessed in this hidden realm was now non-existent.

Where should their Featherfolk tribe go from here?

In his heart, he felt a sense of darkness looming, with no glimmer of hope in sight.

Ji Chen walked over and, seeing Augustus still in shock, couldn’t help but remind him, “Lord Augustus, you should send people to evacuate the civilians and guide them to safety. Otherwise, once the flying corrupted creatures launch an attack, the Featherfolk will suffer many casualties.”

“You’re right. I’ll send people to evacuate the civilians right away.”

Augustus snapped out of his daze, his face displaying complex emotions as he continued, “Lord Ji Chen, you’ve done a lot to investigate demon clues and risked many dangers for the safety of the main world. I shouldn’t ask you to do more.”

Augustus lowered his head, speaking in a pleading tone, “But this time, please, save our Featherfolk tribe!”

Elwin also bowed and implored, “We Ocean Pixies are the same.”

Ji Chen fell silent for a moment, then nodded slowly. “I will do my best to ensure the safety of both your tribes.”

“Thank you, thank you!” Augustus repeated twice, his expression filled with excitement. In his eyes, Ji Chen’s promise was worth its weight in gold. Since Ji Chen had made such a commitment, the Feathcrfolk tribe could at least preserve a portion of their people, keeping the seeds for a possible resurgence..
