The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

The next day, Ji Chen led all his troops and rushed to the location where he last encountered the kobold hunting team.

He planned to follow the river to the mountains to find the kobold's lair.

As the terrain gradually gets higher, the view becomes wider.

Standing on a rock, looking around.

There is a vast expanse of lush jungle at your feet, and the boundless ocean behind you.

From this height, we can also see merchant ships parked on the east side of the main island.

Ji Chen looked to the north at the mountains with jagged rocks and lush trees, wondering where the kobolds' lairs would be.

First let’s do some analysis.

First of all, most creatures need water to survive, and kobolds are no exception.

In order to maintain such a large group, its nest must be not far from a water source, which means it is likely to be close to rivers, pools and other places.

Secondly, such a large group also needs enough food, which means that the location of the nest is not far from the food source.

After analyzing and listing the conditions one by one in this way, the result will be clear——

have no idea.

There are countless places throughout the mountainous area that meet these conditions.

When it comes to water sources, there are so many water systems throughout the mountains that it is impossible to determine.

The food aspect is even more ambiguous. The main island is not very large, and you can quickly reach any part of the island from the mountains, making it even more difficult to judge.

Since it cannot be analyzed, there is only one way.

Ji Chen turned his head, looked at the natives who were following him, and said calmly.

"You lead the way."

This native is one of the few people in his tribe who has found the cave where the kobolds live, and knows the location of the entrance to the cave.

Just let him lead the way.

The natives said nothing and silently led the way.

They quickly passed through a forest and came to an unremarkable cliff.

The native pointed to the vines on the cliff and said, "There is a cave entrance inside."

Ji Chen nodded and motioned for the fishman to come forward.

The fish-man Tiecha struck randomly and quickly broke the vines into pieces, revealing a dark hole.

The cave is roughly sloping downwards and is so dark that the bottom cannot be seen.

He waved his arms, and the fishmen began to lead the way into the cave.

Then came the pirates and sea elves holding torches.

Finally, he, Alice and the natives were surrounded by Naga warriors.

As soon as I entered the cave, I immediately felt a sense of coolness, completely cut off from the outside temperature.

The cave is very humid, and water droplets continue to seep from the rock walls, flowing to the ground and turning into water, making the ground muddy.

They soon made a discovery.

On the muddy ground about ten meters away from the entrance of the cave, a series of fresh-looking dog footprints appeared, extending all the way to the depths.

This made Ji Chen feel happy.

Since there are relatively new dog footprints here, it means that kobolds have recently entered and exited this entrance, which means that this entrance is likely to lead to the kobold lair deep in the cave.

With this discovery, they immediately went deep without wasting time.

Ji Chen is also always paying attention to the changes in the all-seeing map.

The horizontal detection range of the panoramic map is 1 kilometer in radius, but the vertical detection range is much smaller, only about 10 meters up and down.

So maybe in a place with complex terrain, approaching kobolds may not be detected.

After walking down for tens of meters, the fishman walking in front suddenly stopped and issued a warning.

"Quack!"

meaning is:

"There's a trap."

Ji Chen was not surprised. Kobolds were not outstanding in combat ability, but they were very good at using traps to kill and capture prey.

So it's not surprising that they set up some traps outside their home lair to defend themselves against enemies.

After letting the pirates with more flexible hands and feet destroy the trap, the group continued moving forward.

In the next ten minutes or so, they also encountered several traps one after another, but they were all detected by the fishmen with good night vision, and they destroyed them one by one without any danger.

So far, although there have been no casualties, no trace of the kobolds has been found.

After advancing about two to three hundred meters, they came to a fork in the road.

One on each side.

Men are on the left and women are on the right, so choose left.

The team moved again.

After advancing another two to three hundred meters, I saw a red dot suddenly appearing on the edge of the map.

Ji Chen knew that he had just made the right choice.

Simply stop hesitating and lead the army to kill them directly.

When the kobolds heard the noise here, they became vigilant and summoned a wave of kobolds to rush towards them.

The two parties soon met in a cave six or seven meters wide.

The so-called enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

Neither side had any intention of holding back, and the battle started instantly.

The kobolds rushed in with various weapons made of obsidian, barking and angry.

But what greeted them first was a wave of spell attacks.

The new sea elves who joined the team waved their staffs and shot water arrows, hitting the kobolds.

First, it breaks through the scales and penetrates the flesh like an ordinary arrow.

Then the water arrow exploded like dynamite, and the water spray mixed with blood and minced meat splashed everywhere, adding a touch of blood to the damp cave.

Just the first wave of fourteen explosive water arrows killed and injured nearly twenty kobolds, making everyone wailing.

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the water arrows, the fishmen and pirates at the front also rushed into the enemy group.

The number of this wave of kobolds was small, and they were quickly overwhelmed by the murlocs and pirates.

"Ding~ At the end of the battle, you have gained 200 experience points."

Looking at the corpses everywhere, Ji Chen waved the team to move on without any hesitation.

Since there are indeed kobolds in this direction, as long as we keep going deeper and kill them all the way, we will sooner or later find their lair.

Many kobolds noticed the intruder through the echoes of killing calls in the cave, and formed teams to come.

But they ran into the murderous Ji Chen and the others, and all of them fell to their hands without exception.

The corpses were spread from the entrance to the depths of the cave.

Seeing that the teams of kobolds were going nowhere like meat buns beating dogs, the other kobolds also realized that something was wrong and did not go up rashly again, but gathered together one after another.

At this time, they didn't realize that the invading enemy was very powerful.

If this continues, I'm afraid the kobolds will be wiped out.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer incoming kobolds, Ji Chen was vaguely aware of this.

But it suited him just fine.

Let the kobolds gather themselves first, so that he can take care of them in one go.

You know, the strength of his current unit has an overwhelming advantage over the kobolds.

You are not afraid of fighting them head-on, but you are afraid that they will scatter in all directions.

This way he has to expend more energy to look for them like mosquitoes.

Now we have gone an unknown number of meters underground. The surrounding caves are very dense and complex, and traces of kobold life can be seen everywhere.

These caves have different functions, some are used to store food, some are filled with thatch for living, some are specially used for sacrifices, and some are warehouses.

The kobolds used the natural caves here, coupled with later excavation and expansion, to build a rather magnificent underground kingdom.

There is no telling how many resources are buried in each cave.

But what surprised him the most was.

This underground cave is actually connected to a small mineral vein!
