Chapter 82: Blood Beast, Lord Krieg

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

As Jichen pondered on how to explore this mystic realm, some players exclaimed in surprise.

“Wait, why is my spell power so much higher? And my mana regeneration rate has increased significantly!”

Upon hearing this, mage players began to test it out.

Soon, they became ecstatic.

“I see, the magical energy concentration in this mystic realm is higher than in the main world, so spell power and mana regeneration are enhanced!”

Jichen discreetly manipulated the seawater and found it easier to control compared to when he was the main world. Moreover, his mana regeneration rate had increased by at least 50%.

It seemed that these were the “rules” of this mystic realm.

In some mystic realms, the magical energy was particularly dense, resulting in more powerful spells. However, in others, the magical energy could be extremely scarce, forming anti-magic domains.

The mystic realm with the golden trees before them was undoubtedly the former.

For Jichen, this was good news.

He had a contingent of magic-based troops, the Sea Pixies, and his Tidal Lord class was a formidable magic-based class, making him even more powerful in this mystic realm.

Without further delay, as more and more players entered the mystic realm through the portal, which was continuously active, Jichen instructed Sparrow to move forward.

The New Moon slowly sailed past a small island nearby.

The remnants of the structures on the island had already been thoroughly searched and looted. It was evident that the Alliance officials had stripped the islands close to the mystic realm portal of all valuable resources.

To make any significant gains here, they would have to venture deeper into the mystic realm.

Ji Chen pondered for a moment and decided to explore and advance with the small golden tree as his target.

Since there seemed to be a human civilization here, then in such a dark world, the natives would most likely use the golden trees that could glow as a foundation to build a gathering place nearby.

As for the dangers here, no one knew.

The Alliance officials did not reveal any information about this mythic realm to the outside world. Now, they could only explore it a step at a time.

Many players had the same thoughts as him and headed towards the small golden trees.

However, some of them headed straight for the big golden tree.

Jichen couldn’t help but shake his head, wondering whether these players were acting recklessly or boldly taking the lead.

Gradually moving away from the mystic realm portal, the New Moon sailed slowly across the boundless red ocean.

Even in such a secluded realm, there was an inexplicable wind blowing, propelling the ship forward.

The deeper they ventured into the mystic realm, the redder the seawater became, resembling the color of blood.

“Sir, I have a vague sense that danger is approaching!” Sparrow suddenly spoke up.

Jichen nodded and opened the Omniscience map.

Soon, dozens of red dots appeared on the edge of the map, rapidly converging towards the New Moon.

Their presence also became visible on the sea’s surface.

Spiny and grotesque Thornbacks, with lizard-like hideous heads, broke through the water’s surface.

[Lizard Blood Beast]

[Race: Blood Beast]

[Tier: 2, 6-star]

[Skill: Bloodstorm (blue skill, can continuously recover its strength in the sea of blood)]

Thrust (Blue skill, spikes made of special materials that can easily penetrate armor and defense)

[Military characteristic: Ambipenous combat (able to move on land for a short period of time)]

[The strange creatures in the mythical realm are not to be underestimated.]

The appetizer was a 6-star Tier 2 dish. It seems that some people are going to have a tough time.

Jichen noticed that some players were still at Tier 2, and some even brought land-based combat units into the water.

Facing these aquatic monsters, they were at a significant disadvantage.

Although his units had a clear advantage over these monsters, he didn’t let his guard down and launched a decisive attack.

He was like a lion fighting a rabbit with all its might.

“Naga warriors and Shallow Sea Murlocs, dive into the water and fight! Don’t let the monsters damage the ship!”

“Sea Pixies, unleash two rounds of Water Arrows!”

The two units leaped from the deck and charged towards the enemies.

The Sea Pixies released their water arrows, exploding like high-explosive bombs among the Blood Beasts.

It proved that spells were very effective in this mystic realm.

After two rounds of water arrows, more than one-third of the Blood Beasts flipped over, floating on the water’s surface.

The remaining beasts clashed with the fierce Naga warriors and Deep Sea Murlocs.

Ten minutes later.

Dozens of corpses floated on the sea surface. The wave of Blood Beasts had been completely wiped out. The New Moon continued its journey, guarded by the Naga warriors and Deep Sea Murlocs at the ship’s side.

After a period of sailing, they arrived near a small golden tree.

Even though it was just a small golden tree, it was dozens of meters tall, and its branches covered a radius of hundreds of meters.

On the small island under the treetops, there were dozens of houses scattered around.

Hundreds of people in simple clothes gathered together and looked at them as if they were facing a great enemy.

Ji Chen controlled the seawater and formed a staircase by the side of the ship. Under the shocked gazes of the natives, he stepped onto the island.

The other soldiers also climbed out of the water and looked at them coldly.

These human natives looked at each other, uneasy and terrified.

After a long time.

An old man shakily walked out with a walking stick and begged.

“Lord from the Holy City, we no longer have any blue crystals here. Please come back to collect them in a few days.”

His words were filled with fear and pleading.

Holy City?

Blue crystals?

Ji Chen was stunned. The blue crystal was easy to understand. It was probably a crystal produced in this mystic realm.

But what kind of place was the Holy City?

“I’m not some lord of the Holy City. I’m from beyond the world.”

The old man was stunned. “From outside the world? This…”

Obviously, these words made them unable to react in time.

Seeing this, he quietly shook his head.

This was also a situation that often happened to the natives of the mystic realm.

This was especially true for those mystic realms that had been opened for the first time. The natives inside had lived here for countless generations and thought that this was the entire world.

They had no idea that the “world” they knew of was a mystic realm. They were all animals living at the bottom of a well.

The old man and the other natives reacted and heaved a sigh of relief.

The old man and the other natives visibly sighed with relief.

It was evident that encountering people from beyond their world was far more comforting than dealing with the so-called “lords” from the Holy City. They seemed to have been oppressed for a long time.

“What is this Holy City you speak of?” Jichen asked.

But even in the presence of Jichen, these natives showed the same reverence.

The old man trembled as he pointed in the direction of the distant giant golden tree. “Great beings from beyond the world, the Holy City is located beneath that golden tree. Lord Krieg resides in the palace within the Holy City.”

“Lord Krieg?”

“He is the supreme ruler of the Blood Sea. Only his army has the power to regularly exterminate the Blood Beasts and allow the ordinary people of the Blood Sea to survive.”

Jichen’s eyes flickered with contemplation.

If he wanted to seek protection, it was only natural for these natives to pay a “protection fee” to express their sincerity.

It seemed that most of the crystals in this mystic realm were concentrated in the hands of this so-called Lord Krieg.

However, this raised more questions for Jichen.

Throughout their journey, they encountered a considerable number of Blood Beasts in the Blood Sea. Yet, on this small island measuring only two or three square kilometers, with the end visible to the naked eye, they hadn’t seen any mining sites.

So how did these natives obtain the crystals?

The answer they received was, “The golden trees provide us with crystals.”

Jichen’s attention was now drawn to the small golden tree standing in the center of the island.

His eyes glinted with a hint of excitement.

These small golden trees…. could they produce crystals?
