Chapter 662: Demonic Blood Pearl, Evacuation Operation!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ji Chen and his group entered the hall with a multitude of Ocean Pixies.

As soon as they took their seats, Elwin couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked, “Lord Ji Chen, you came from the main world. How did you discover that the demons were planning to invade again?”

If it weren’t for the troubles they had faced with the contaminated and crazed marine creatures a hundred years ago, compounded by the appearance of numerous corrupted creatures in the past two years, they wouldn’t have been able to detect even the slightest trace of the demons using their advantage of being able to delve deep into the ocean.

Otherwise, if people from the outside world had entered, it would probably have been regarded as a catastrophe that swept through the entire realm of the undead, without ever suspecting that it was the work of demons who had disappeared for hundreds of thousands of years.

Ji Chen had to once again briefly explain the situation he had learned from Anina’s memories of the epic-tier Deep Sea Dragon Whale’s bloodline, leaving Elwin and the Ocean Pixies looking very surprised.

They all displayed expressions of astonishment.

“So the powerful Deep Sea Dragon Whale sacrificed itself to prevent the demons from opening the dimensional portal?”

“That’s right.” Ji Chen nodded and, noticing that Elwin and the others seemed uneasy, he asked, “Have you encountered him?”

Upon hearing this, Elwin’s face became somewhat embarrassed, and his eyes were filled with emotions like self-blame and guilt. “We did find his remains once, but we thought it was just an accident and that he died unexpectedly. We never thought it was such a serious matter.”

“We always believed it was the doing of the undead, but it wasn’t until the past two years that we realized it was the work of demons. However, it’s already too late…”

Ji Chen was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.

However, for those unfamiliar with demons, it was quite likely to mistake them for undead creatures. After all, hundreds of thousands of years were an exceedingly long span, long enough to erase the vast majority of historical traces.

Forget hundreds of thousands of years, even a thousand years would be enough to erase the existence of a race from memory. Demons had become a race that existed only in legends and ancient memories for most species.

“Lord Elwin, the purpose of my visit is to find reliable evidence of demon invasion to warn the outside races. You have been in this ocean for a long time. Do you have such evidence? For example, any information about how demons are contaminating the ocean and corrupting the marine creatures.” “Evidence?” Elwin realized the importance of this matter, and his expression became serious. “Of course, we have collected some demonic blood pearls from the deaths of corrupted creatures in our battles. These blood pearls can only be produced by malevolent entities and are the solid form of demon energy. They are bound to capture the attention of external races!”

Ji Chen’s eyes brightened, nodding in agreement. “That’s excellent. I entrust this to you, Your Excellency.”

Elwin waved his hand, saying, “This is what we hould do. Once the demons invade again, whether it’s the ocean or the land, it will be shrouded in darkness, and living beings will suffer.

I’ll have our people retrieve them from the warehouse and send them all to you shortly.”

Elwin exchanged glances with the other Ocean Pixies, as if they had reached some consensus, and continued, “Besides this, there is one more thing I’d like to ask of you, Your Excellency.”

“Please, go on.”

“Please, when you leave with the blood pearls, take our Ocean Pixie clan with you.”

Ji Chen was slightly taken aback, surprised, but it also seemed somewhat expected.

Elwin sighed and said, “I believe Your Excellency has noticed that we have been trapped here for two years by the corrupted creatures. Our resources are nearly depleted, and when we must consider leaving, relying solely on our own strength, even if we manage to break through, we will undoubtedly suffer significant damage…”

Elwin didn’t need to say it all, but his message was clear.

Ji Chen pondered for a moment and asked, “How many Ocean Pixies are there here?”

“Approximately eight thousand, with only three thousand warriors, while the rest are elderly, weak, women, and children.”

Breaking through while being surrounded by tens of thousands of corrupted creatures would undoubtedly be an enormous challenge, and even if they succeeded, there might not be many left.

If he could ensure their safety while taking them with him, he didn’t have any objections.

After a moment of contemplation, Ji Chen gave his answer.

“I can agree to that, but I can’t guarantee that none of you will encounter any accidents.”

Elwin’s spirits lifted, and he exclaimed, “That’s more than enough; we are prepared for casualties.”

“In that case, please make your preparations to leave as soon as possible. Once we break through the encirclement and reach the surface, the Featherfolk clan will be waiting to receive us outside, which will reduce the pressure significantly.

The demon invasion is a grave matter. If we can gain even a little extra time now, it will provide more reaction and preparation time for other races.”

Elwin nodded earnestly. “Lord Ji Chen, I understand the seriousness of the situation, and we will make our preparations as quickly as possible.”

The entire Ocean Pixie city immediately became bustling with activity. At Ji Chen’s suggestion, they only took a few essential items, prioritizing lightweight equipment.

The blood pearls collected by the Ocean Pixie clan were also delivered to his hands. Just as Elwin had mentioned, these blood pearls formed after the death of corrupted creatures were filled with an aura of evil and chaos. Ordinary beings would quickly fall into madness upon contact, and even higher-tier creatures would eventually become puppets of the demons after prolonged exposure..
