Chapter 62: Four-Dimensional Stomach

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In the blink of an eye, the sea of skeletons surged forward once again.

Ji Chen clenched his teeth. “Shallow Sea Murlocs, throw at those Skeletal Hounds!”

Behind him, a volley of tridents was launched, soaring through the air.

The fiery-eyed Skeletal Hounds flickered with flames and swiftly evaded, using the remnants of the buildings to flank and launch their attack from the side.

Only about six or seven of them were caught off guard and impaled by the tridents, pinned to the ground.

However, there were still fifty or sixty more Skeletal Hounds relentlessly approaching!

Considering the performance of the Black Skeletons, the attacking capabilities of these hounds were certainly not to be underestimated.

They couldn’t allow them to reach their position!

Ji Chen urgently called out to Alice, “Stop them!”

The Siren nodded earnestly and quickly cast her spell.

The power of her singing remained as formidable as ever.

All the skeletons were instantly under control.

“Concentrate fire! Take down the Skeletal Hounds first!”

Upon hearing this command, both the Sea Nymphs and the Shallow Sea Murlocs redirected their attacks towards the Skeletal Hounds.

These creatures had mediocre defenses, typical of high-damage, low-defense monsters.

Even the Sea Pixes were capable of inflicting significant damage upon them.

Once all the Skeletal Hounds were eliminated, Ji Chen instructed Alice to halt and conserve her mana.

He ordered the units to engage the remaining skeletons.

After half an hour, the wave of thousands of skeletons had finally been completely cleared.

However, at this point, even the sturdy Naga Warriors were starting to feel the strain, panting for breath.

Only Anina, with her exaggerated unit characteristics, had a slight glisten of sweat as if she had just completed a light jog.

[Unit Trait]: Battle Endurance (Restores stamina for every enemy killed)

As long as she could kill enemies, she could sustain her stamina indefinitely.

Dealing with the countless skeletons, who served as mere cannon fodder, was like a walk in the park for Anina.

At this moment, Anina also realized that something was amiss.

“Are there too many skeletons here? It’s as if there’s a nest continuously producing them,” she remarked.

Ji Chen’s gaze hardened as he shook his head firmly.

“Regardless, we must eliminate all these skeletons here. We cannot let them leave this place.”

He couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease.

With such a large number of skeletons, they should have easily made their way to the main island through the marshes.

Yet, they all seemed to have converged here, as if waiting for something.

Something was off.

Very off!

After a brief respite, they continued their advance.

Having defeated several waves of skeletons, they traversed through a forest and wreckage of buildings, revealing a clear view ahead.

They arrived at the beach.

Looking around, they were at the other end of the first subsidiary island.

Not far ahead, there was another narrow marsh extending towards the second subsidiary island in the distance.

Upon closer inspection, Ji Chen’s eyelids twitched.

On the second subsidiary island, skeletons were tightly packed together, shoulder to shoulder, heads colliding.

The density was extremely high, and at a rough estimate, there were at least thousands of them.

In addition to the common white skeletons, there were also significant numbers of black skeletons and skeletal hounds.

He even spotted new variations.

Skeletons wielding bone staffs… skeletal birds perched on treetops…

He couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

These few small islands couldn’t possibly support the birth of so many skeletons.

Where on earth did all these skeletons come from?

After a faint sigh.

With a hint of unwillingness, he waved his hand, signaling the others to retreat.

The number of skeletons was not something they could handle now. Even if Anina was willing to help, he didn’t want to take too many risks.

Who knew if there were even more powerful undead inside?

Coincidentally, they were about to enter the next week.

Not only could he harvest resources from the resource points, but the recruitment camp for units would also refresh.

He could recruit more troops and increase their numbers before confronting these skeletons again.

Returning to the main island, a small team of ten Shallow Sea Murlocs was left behind to monitor the movements of the skeletons.

The rest of the units returned to their territory.

On the way back, Anina kept muttering why they didn’t charge straight through…

Ji Chen simply smiled and shook his head.

Perhaps this Dragon Whale girl could rely on her unit traits and overwhelming strength to enter and leave the skeleton horde unscathed.

But that didn’t mean they could do the same.

With such a large number of skeletons, their meager forces would soon be overwhelmed.

He now realized that even a mighty warrior like Anina would grow tired after swinging her bone blades hundreds of times.

And as sharp as the tridents of the Shallow Sea Murlocs were, piercing through four or five skeletons in one strike was already their limit.

The efficiency of killing was limited.

Until their own units reached a sufficient scale in numbers,

when dealing with a sea of skeletons like this, widespread AoE attacks would be more effective.

At the moment, the only unit with any connection to AoE attacks was the Sea Pixes.

” After collecting the resources tomorrow, I will strengthen the Sea Pixies again…”

He retracted his thoughts.

When he returned to his territory, Ji Chen saw a group of newly migrated natives. Under

Wilus ‘lead, they were being assigned houses.

He shouted loudly for this dedicated middle-aged man to come over.

“Which batch of natives migrated here?”

“How many batches of native people have migrated here?”

Wilus quickly answered, “My Lord, this is the third batch. Currently, a quarter of the native people have migrated to the territory.”

“How well have they integrated with the original residents?”

“Very smoothly, My Lord. The native people are eager for exquisite food, proper clothing, and well-preserved dwellings.”

“The original residents also remarked on the increased liveliness and popularity of the territory.”

“They are all singing praises of your generosity and kindness, My Lord.”

It seemed that there were no issues of mutual exclusion between the two groups, which was exactly what he hoped to see.

Ji Chen pondered for a moment. “Try to allocate the migrated native people to the cultivation of sea rice as much as possible. They are experienced in this area and it is currently the most important task in the territory.”

“1 understand,” Wilus nodded. “My Lord, I have something to report.”

“Hmm? What is it?”

“It’s about the guest with the giant sword.”

Ji Chen glanced sideways and looked at Anina, who was standing with Alice in the distance.

Wilus’s face showed a hint of surprise. “That guest seems to have a large appetite.”

“What does that matter?” Ji Chen waved his hand dismissively. “Let her eat whatever she wants.”

Even if her appetite was big, so what?

With such a vast territory, could they not afford to feed one person… no, a single whale?

“But she consumed the amount of food that would feed thirty people in one meal!” “What? The amount for thirty people?” Ji Chen was taken aback.

“And she said she was only half-full…”

Thirty people’s worth of food and still only half-full… it was simply terrifying.

He recalled Anina’s flat stomach, finding it hard to imagine how such a small belly could accommodate so much food.

Could it be a fourth-dimensional stomach?

As a whale, her true nature was not in vain.

Even in human form, her appetite was truly astounding..
