Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Leaving Heraklion, Ji Chen returned to the surface via the passage.

Just as he was about to head back to the Panas coast, he suddenly stopped and looked north.

For some reason, he felt an irresistible urge to explore that direction, as if something was drawing him there.

After a moment’s contemplation, Ji Chen decided to resist this strange feeling and promptly return to the Panas coast.

The orc army was still relentlessly attacking the Panas coast. Even though he had intervened and caused some losses to the demon hunters and several thousand-strong squads, the orc forces still held a clear advantage in terms of numbers and strength. He was genuinely concerned whether the alliance of elves and humans could hold on until the Sea Clan officially joined the battle.

Finding the underwater travel speed inadequate, Ji Chen instructed the Sea Crystal Wynn to fly at an altitude of several meters above the sea surface.

Without the hindrance of other armies and with no obstacles in the open sea, the Sea Crystal Wynn could unleash its full-speed potential.

Fifty Sea Crystal Wyrms flew in a V formation at breakneck speed. As they raced across the sea, the water churned and splashed violently due to the intense force, creating dozens of silvery chains visible from the sky, spanning tens of meters.

Standing on their backs, Ji Chen conjured a barrier to shield himself from the wind and calmly absorbed the sensation.

The Sea Crystal Wynn’s top speed was estimated to have reached seven to eight hundred kilometers per hour, faster than the fighter jets in the War World II. During normal cruising, it maintained a speed of four to five hundred kilometers per hour. If it flew from the New Moon Islands to the Starshine Islands at cruising speed, it would only take a few hours. If it headed to the Fish Tail Island in the Lienhardt Grand Duchy, it would take half a day at most.

The significance of this swift travel speed was self-evident. If he wished, Ji Chen could easily reach any location in the western Pacific in a short time.

Just as Ji Chen was urging the Sea Crystal Wynn towards the Panas coast, he suddenly felt a strange disturbance as they passed a group of islands.

After a moment of sensing, he quickly confirmed that it was the presence of demons.

The foul, ominous, and evil aura could be felt even if they were several kilometers apart.

“Could it be a demon army?” Ji Chen murmured to himself.

After some consideration, he decided to take a detour and investigate.

The demon race remained quite mysterious to him. So far, he had only encountered the demon hunters during this adventure. He saw this as an opportunity to gain insight into the composition of demon forces.

Controlling the Sea Crystal Wynn, he ascended to a high altitude to avoid detection, gliding between the clouds stealthily.

The disturbance originated from an island at the center of the group, covered in lush vegetation. Among the mudflats and trees, skeletal structures stood tall, and groups of grotesque demons patrolled the mudflats.

These demons had terrifying appearances, with single horns on their heads, fleshy wings on their backs, claws for hands, and skin resembling that of a desiccated corpse.

Single-Horned Fiend, 5th Tier, 1 Star.

Two-Headed Hound, 5th Tier, 3 Stars.

Wing Fiend, 5th Tier, 5 Stars.

The more Ji Chen observed, the more surprised he felt. The average strength of the demon forces was almost on par with the elves, and in some cases, even higher. There were no less than five different types of demons patrolling the mudflats, and without exception, they were all at the fifth-tier level.

He continued to observe.

At this moment, several dozen transport ships slowly approached from the eastern sea and docked at the makeshift port on the island. The patrolling Single-Horned Fiends hurriedly approached.

“You idiots, quickly unload the supplies and move them to the island!” shouted the Wing Fiend holding a long whip at the Single-Horned Fiends. He cracked the whip forcefully, causing a loud cracking sound in the air.

The Single-Horned Fiends, who were at the lower ranks of the demon hierarchy, dared not disobey the order. They immediately boarded the ship and began moving large wooden crates to the island.

One of the Single-Horned Fiends accidentally stumbled while carrying a crate, causing it to fall to the ground with a loud thud. Weapons and equipment spilled out of the crate onto the ground.

The Wing Fiend’s face was filled with anger, and he lashed the Single-Horned Fiend’s back with his whip. “You imbecile! Can’t you even handle such a simple task?”

The Single-Horned Fiend looked terrified, enduring the pain from the whip, and quickly gathered the scattered weapons and equipment, placing them back into the crate. He then continued carrying it on his shoulder towards an open space at the edge of the forest.

However, this scene caught Ji Chen’s attention.

These weapons and equipment did not appear to be manufactured by the demons themselves; instead, they bore a striking resemblance to the style of the Sea Clan.

“Are these… supplies stolen from the Sea Clan?”

Ji Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly. The fact that the demons were transporting these weapons and equipment here suggested that there might be a warehouse or armory of some kind on the island.

These weapons and equipment could potentially be used in an attack against the allied forces.

As the embodiment of justice and order, Ji Chen couldn’t ignore this. After confirming that this was indeed a demon supply base, he immediately ordered the Sea Crystal Wyrms to launch a surprise attack.

Apart from the Sea Crystal Wyrm he was riding, the other forty-nine swiftly adjusted their flight positions and descended from the sky like a squadron of dive bombers.

The demons on the mudflats quickly noticed the descending enemy and erupted into chaos.

The Wing Fiend, upon seeing the Sea Crystal Wyrms descending rapidly from the high altitude, shouted in anger, “You fools, what are you waiting for?! Use the anti-aircraft weapons to counterattack!!”

The Single-Horned Fiends were jolted into action, as if they had just woken from a dream. They hastily operated the ballistae set up on the mudflats, hurriedly loading ammunition..
