The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

Chapter 11

There was a slight stiffness in Ji Chen’s body as he thought of this.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at the Murloc beside him and frowned.

One of the Murloc actually tied the pink pantie to the tip of the spear. Under the envious gazes of the other Murlocs, it raised the spear high and waved it like a general.

Ji Chen was stunned by the scene.

When he came back to his senses, he slapped the Murloc’s head with a big bag to stop the perverted behavior.

“Four of you stay. The rest of you go into the water and catch some fish.”

Upon hearing the order, the Murlocs, who had their fun interrupted, immediately became excited and jumped into the water one by one.

Ji Chen had a stubborn look on his face.

As long as he could bring back some fish, he wouldn’t be considered leaving empty-handed!

Murlocs were indeed good swimmers and disappeared instantly under the water.

According to the connection between the lord and the troops, he could sense that they had already rushed into the water and were spreading out to search for fish.

Watching the Murlocs swim effortlessly as though the water was the place where they belonged, he nodded in agreement.

In fact, there was no need to worry too much about food with the Murlocs around. Wasn’t catching fish in the sea a simple matter for this type of unit?

After more than ten minutes, the Murlocs returned one after another, each trident holding several sea fish, each weighing an estimated three to four pounds.

In the end, they obtained about 240 units of food, which was even more than what they had obtained from killing octopuses.

His evaluation of the Murlocs increased a little.

Looking at the silly Murlocs, they were quite talented in catching fish.

He packed up his things and returned to the territory with his fishing harvest.

When the residents saw the fish on the Murloc’s spear, they cheered again.

His gaze toward the Murlocs softened.

After setting up the projection of the Resource Detection Tower, Ji Chen immediately instructed Wilus to gather manpower to begin construction. He had to finish it by tomorrow.

The setting sun on the surface of the sea fell to the sea level, and the last trace of orange sunlight disappeared completely.

Night finally fell.

However, in the jungle of the island, the clearing was brightly lit.

People sat around the campfire, eating large chunks of octopus meat and holding warm fish soup with softened dry food in it.

Everyone looks relaxed and smiling sincerely.

Even without any seasonings, they still felt that this meal was extremely delicious.

After enduring hunger and cold on the island for over half a month, they truly appreciated the sumptuous feast provided by the great Feudal Lord.

In their hearts, they made a solemn oath to work even harder for the Feudal Lord.

“Ding ~ Because of sufficient food, the people’s sentiment in the territory has increased by 10 points. The labor efficiency of the residents has increased by 10%.”

Ji Chen was momentarily stunned but then shook his head with a smile. These people were so easily satisfied.

Just a little bit of food made them so grateful, unlike some who would almost cry from their first bite.

The Murlocs on the other side were a completely different story. Each of them fiercely grabbed a piece of the sea lizard’s corpse.

Not only were they eating in big mouthfuls, but they were also croaking, singing, and dancing happily.

The Murlocs had their own fair share of happiness.

Jin Chen also ate an octopus tentacle.

It must be said that the shallow-water octopuses had little combat strength, but the meat was truly delicious.

The chewy texture and juicy flavor filled his mouth after eating it. As for the fish caught by the Murlocs, it was unknown what species they were, but they were natural and free of pollution.

The fish had a milky fragrance and melted in the mouth, ten times more delicious than the so-called large yellow croakers.

In the past, he would never have dared to dream of such delicious food.

Satisfied and full, Ji Chen walked into the lord’s manor.

However, he noticed that Wilus had brought along a young blonde girl who looked quite eye-catching, with freshly washed hair.

“Sir, may I present this young lady to you?” Wilus bowed respectfully and asked.

Ji Chen’s interest was piqued upon hearing this.

The next day.

Ji Chen stepped out of the lord’s manor feeling rejuvenated, with the golden-haired girl trailing behind him.

“You did a great job last night. Your massage skills are impressive, and I’m quite satisfied,” he praised her.

The girl beamed with joy and gratitude, bowing her head and saying, “I’m happy to be of service. Please let me know if I can assist you further.”

“Sure, come by tonight for another massage,” he replied.

Ji Chen sighed as the girl departed.

“Being a lord is so dull,” he muttered to himself.

After completing overtime work on the Resource Detection Tower, located in the open space above the manor, he summoned the Murlocs and made his way to the tower to activate the week’s first resource detection opportunity.

A beam of golden light shot out from the top of the tower, visible only to him, flying northeast and halting about a kilometer away from the territory, forming a pale golden pillar of light several meters tall.

That was most likely the location of the first resource point. “Eh? Why does that place seem to be near the waterfall in the mountain that I saw yesterday?”

“That’s good. I’ll explore that place today.”

In order to make the most of his time, Ji Chen utilized all three resource detection opportunities, resulting in three golden pillars of light shooting into the sky, indicating the location of each resource point.

The closest point was near the mountain waterfall, while the other two were situated two kilometers north and three kilometers east of the territory respectively.

After considering his options, Ji Chen decided to start with the closest point and brought along 21 Murlocs.

They followed the narrow path used by the residents to access the river in the north, which was considerably narrower than the path leading to the beach, with its widest part measuring less than three meters and featuring numerous twists and turns.

This was the first time Ji Chen had truly experienced the wonders of this terrain.

Both sides of the path were filled with dense trees and ferns. Vines wound around the trees and hung down from the branches.

Everything was green.

The trees were green, the vines were green, the low vegetation was green, and even the rocks were covered in green moss.

He took a deep breath, and his nose was filled with a fresh smell.

However, what followed was a slightly moist sensation, making his skin feel a little sticky.

The road under his feet was not easy to walk on. The wet mud made him feel very uncomfortable every time he stepped on it. His boots were soon stained with thick mud.

Ji Chen grumbled as he trudged through the difficult forest.

Eventually, they reached the river where the villagers fetched their daily water. The river flowed from east to west, disappearing around a distant bend in the jungle. Upstream was the waterfall, which was the source of the river.

Ji Chen was pleased with this discovery. By following the river upstream, they could avoid the effort of hacking their way through the dense jungle. Even without the river’s guidance, they could still follow the pale golden pillar of light in the sky to stay on course.

They walked briskly along the flat riverbank towards the waterfall, making good time.

Ten minutes later, the river made a sharp turn to the north and flowed straight towards a waterfall that was more than 20 meters tall. The waterfall cascaded into a deep impact pool below. The river flowed down from upstream, forming the waterfall in this area with a significant height difference. The combination of the waterfall, surrounding vegetation, and sky created a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

As Ji Chen approached, he noticed the vague figure of a “person” standing beside the pool. This immediately put him on guard. He cautiously moved closer to the river and took cover behind a large rock by the water’s edge. Peering out from behind the rock, he observed the scene before him in the dim light.

To his surprise, he saw thirty to forty hideous, hunchbacked humanoid creatures with eyes as big as copper bells playing in the water and bathing at the edge of the pool under the waterfall.

Ji Chen’s expression twisted with disgust as he witnessed the clear pool turning muddy and dirty.

The filth spreading downstream along the river was revolting. The humanoid creatures, with their hunchbacked and hideous appearance, were playing and bathing in the water.

Ji Chen realized that the water they received downstream was probably the bathwater of these creatures, which made him feel even more disgusted and nauseous.
