After the previous probing, it was evident that this time the Sea Heirs came prepared, with both their average tier and level having increased.
The tiers ranged from Tier 3, 7 stars to Tier 4, 2 stars, and the levels ranged from 15 to 25.
However, it was still unclear whether even more powerful Sea Heirs were hidden, considering that the entire New Moon Islands were now surrounded by a multitude of Sea Heirs, patrolling the seas in every direction.
From this, it appeared that the Sea Heirs’ leader had made a determined decision this time – to consume all living beings on this archipelago, sparing no one.
Ji Chen, who had noticed this, couldn’t help but smirk.
The idea of the Sea Heirs wanting to kill and devour them was on the table, but what if they could reverse the situation and eliminate the entire Sea Heir tribe instead?
This time, with the Sea Heirs launching such an organized and coordinated attack, it was certain that their nearby commander couldn’t be far behind. From a different perspective, this was an excellent opportunity to kill the Sea Heirs’ leader and eliminate any future threats.
The roles between prey and predator could change in the blink of an eye.
But that Sea Heirs’ leader probably couldn’t fathom that in just one or two months, the Crown of the Ocean had grown into what it was now. To what extent had it matured?
Should anyone dare to stir up trouble within the Crown of the Ocean, they will face dire consequences, and there won’t be any sweet rewards for them to savor!
As time passed, thanks to the reconnaissance of the Sky Guardians and Ocean Guardians, the Sea Heirs’ focus of attack gradually became clear.
As Ji Chen had anticipated, the Sea Heirs attacking from the northeast and the south were the most numerous and fierce. At present, both of these directions had more than five thousand Sea Heirs in attack.
However, it should be noted that this was what they could currently see. As for how many Sea Heirs were still lurking undiscovered in the sea, that remained unknown.
Based on the most recent report, over a thousand Sea Heirs launching an assault from the west had become entangled by Anina and her elven team. Their advance was moving at a snail’s pace, and they suffered significant casualties.
In such an unfamiliar dense jungle, even with the Sea Heirs’ leader’s command, they struggled to make headway, as if they were stuck in a quagmire.
Upon receiving this news, Ji Chen felt somewhat relieved and turned his attention to the situation before him.
In his line of sight, the number of Sea Heirs surfacing on the sea grew steadily. With their primary colors being black and white, they gathered together like dirty spots floating on the surface of the sea.
Suddenly, as if they had received a command, the Sea Heirs that had been waiting for their companions to gather moved in unison, wriggling toward the beach.
A shiver ran through Ji Chen’s heart.
The battle here was finally about to begin.
As these monstrous creatures, capable of unsettling one’s sanity merely by their appearance, drew nearer to the beach within a four-kilometer range, they found themselves confronted by the Alchemy Death Cannon. This formidable structure, crafted entirely from metal, loomed above the jungle, dwarfing even the tallest trees. Gradually, it elevated a barrel large enough to accommodate a person. After a brief pause, it abruptly spewed forth a fiery blast. In an instant, the cannonball was launched into the distance, hurtling with unstoppable speed and slamming forcefully into the Sea Heirs.
Swoosh-
The heavy shell shattered the petal head of a Sea Heir that had won the jackpot, and then the fuse was triggered, causing the shell to explode.
Boom-
A massive thirty-meter-tall water column erupted from the midst of the Sea Heir assembly, encircled by surging waves. Inside the water column, countless shattered limbs and green liquid were intermingled, propelling countless of Sea Heirs into the sky.
Following this, a circle of terrifying shockwaves swept out in all directions at an inescapable speed.
The Sea Heirs who had survived the previous explosion were hit by a deadly blow once again. Their bodies burst into clouds of blood mist, their vitality rapidly withering, struggling, and dying on the surface of the sea.
The Sea Heir group, which had been packed full just moments ago, suddenly shrank by a significant amount – the dead Sea Heirs floated on the surface, drifting with the waves.
Regardless of their tier or level, whether low or high, all of them met their demise under the terrifying might of the shell.
This single shell had at least killed hundreds of Sea Heirs!
Even the Sea Heir leader who had been observing from behind couldn’t help but pause mentally, and then it began to urge the other Sea Heirs to spread out and attack.
If there were another ten or so shells, they wouldn’t stand a chance.
Although the alchemy death cannon’s power was astonishing, its loading speed was quite slow. In the gap between loading shells, the Sea Heirs rapidly advanced toward the coast.
It was impossible to rely solely on the cannons to stop them. Therefore, Ji Chen waved his hand, commanding the Ocean Guardians to take the field.
Underwater, a large group of ready Ocean Guardians suddenly sprang into action, swarming like fish in a coordinated attack.
The Sea Heir excelled at paralyzing their enemies with toxins. When their poison stingers pierced ordinary flesh and blood creatures, their combat capabilities were greatly diminished, leaving them vulnerable to the Sea Heir’s dominance.
However, toxins had no effect on alchemical creations like the Ocean Guardians, as long as their energy cores remained intact. They could endure being pierced like hedgehogs without any concern.
Hundreds of Ocean Guardians fearlessly launched their attacks, obstructing the Sea Heir’s rapid advance and keeping it engaged on the surface of the sea.
While five thousand Sea Heirs seemed like a formidable force, losing their advantage in swift mobility turned them into easy targets for the cannons.
As a five-star structure, the Alchemy Death Cannon possessed incredibly potent firepower. Shot after shot, it wreaked havoc among the Sea Heirs, causing them to fall in large numbers.
At this moment, the Sea Heirs couldn’t help but curse under their breath. After roaming the oceans for so many years, it was the first time they had encountered firepower of such devastating strength..
