“Could it be that they eat corpses?”

This thought flashed through Ji Chen’s mind, and when he subconsciously denied it, he suddenly realized something.

Wait a minute, maybe these creatures survive by eating corpses. After all, in this vast ancient battlefield, there are frozen intact corpses everywhere, and they don’t even need preservation. The eternal ice is a natural refrigerator for storing food. As long as they get hungry, they can dig it out and eat it.

Today they eat humans, tomorrow they eat elves, the day after tomorrow they eat orcs, without repeating a meal.

A true buffet.

Coming back to his senses, Ji Chen asked, “Is there anything else you’ve discovered?”

Benbo shook his head and said, “Nothing else. It seems that apart from the monotonous glaciers, there’s nothing noteworthy here.”

Ji Chen furrowed his brow slightly. After leaving the Bass Kingdom fleet, they ventured more than a hundred kilometers, but they found nothing.

Here, it seemed that there was no distinction between day and night. The cold sunlight constantly shone on this icy plain, without any prominent landmarks. This made him lose track of time; he only knew that it had been one or two days.

And there was still no sign of the so-called divine relic.

“…Then let’s proceed to that valley.”

“Understood.”

These black creatures resembling crawlers also had names.

[Deviant Ghost]

[Race]: Deviant Ghost

[Tier]: Fourth Tier, 8 stars

[Level]: 35

[Skills]: N/A

[Note]: These deformed monsters evolved over a long time from surviving believers of the God War.

When the Ocean Crown army appeared near the entrance of the valley, hundreds of Deviant Ghosts, who were wandering near the valley entrance as guards, instantly noticed the unwelcome guests. They emitted sharp cries and rushed towards them, their blood-red eyes filled with a desire for food.

These creatures that could move emitted an extremely delicious aroma, and this fresh flesh and blood must be much tastier than the dried-up corpses frozen in ice.

The Deviant Ghosts, having spent a long time on the icy plains, had developed claws that enabled them to move swiftly on the slippery ice. These claws acted like spikes, giving them better traction than even the Desert Wolves and making them faster.

When this wave of Deviant Ghosts rushed within a hundred meters, the Water Nymph Archers did not hesitate to release a rain of arrows, instantly nailing over a hundred Deviant Ghosts to the ice, and the black, foul-smelling blood flowed all over the place.

Immediately after that, a wave of magical arrows rained down from the sky. The violent explosion of magical energy easily tore their bodies apart, scattering their limbs all over the place.

Two clean and efficient waves of attacks resolved hundreds of Deviant Ghosts.

There was no joy of victory. Ji Chen waved his hand calmly, and the Ocean Crown army stepped over the broken bodies of the Deviant Ghosts and arrived at the entrance of the valley.

Inside the valley, it wasn’t as desolate as the outside ice plains. Shielded from the frigid wind, the temperature suddenly warmed up. An ice river meandered through the valley, and lush vegetation grew on both sides of the river. Bushes scattered along the banks bore red wild fruits, giving a sense of vitality.

It seemed that this ice plain wasn’t just ice glaciers; there were also places teeming with life.

Ji Chen looked at the steep slopes on both sides of the valley, which looked like they had been gnawed by dogs. They were littered with hundreds of large holes, which should be the nesting places of the Deviant Ghosts.

At this moment, the Deviant Ghosts inside the holes also reacted to the commotion outside. They crawled out like ants, and their numbers quickly reached over a thousand, still increasing rapidly.

Without exception, they detected the scent of fresh blood and meat in the air, and their eyes were greedy and cruel. Without hesitation, they charged towards the source of the aroma.

As the Deviant Ghosts swarmed like locusts, Ji Chen slowly raised his right hand and then swung it down firmly.

Boom!

Many units that had already formed their formations erupted with a powerful momentum. There was no fear on their faces, only a resolute fighting spirit that could break through the sky.

Whoosh!

A sharp whistle echoed in the sky.

Waves of arrows carrying terrifying killing intent shot up into the air and pierced through the bodies of the Deviant Ghosts before they could react, causing them to fall to the ground in agony.

But the ones behind them did not evade; they marched straight ahead, trampling over their fallen comrades and turning them into a pile of flesh pulp. The filthy blood seeped into the muddy soil of the valley, staining the ice river with a hint of blackness.

However, such casualties did not deter these malformed monsters, who knew nothing of what life meant. The strong scent of black blood and gore only further stirred the murky blood coursing through their bodies like a hodgepodge. Their charging speed increased, and they charged toward the frontlines, arrows raining down upon them like raindrops.

After previously helping to relieve the pressure on Feiguang City and engaging in numerous battles against players and guilds, the Ocean Crown army suffered significant losses.

The Nagas Legion and the Dragonblood Legion, in particular, had suffered heavy casualties. The two legions now had a total of just over 700 units, but they still formed a formidable force. Relying on the narrow valley entrance, they had forged an unshakable defense line with their own flesh and blood.

“Ding- Your army has killed a small group of Deviant Ghosts and gained 19,500 experience points.”

“Ding- Your army has killed a small group of Deviant Ghosts and gained 18,000 experience points.”

Although there were many Deviant Ghosts, under the relentless onslaught of the Ocean Crown’s rolling cutting edge, they amounted to nothing more than experience points on the experience bar.

After countless battles and clashes, Ji Chen had finally reached level 48. Looking at the slowly increasing experience bar, a hint of satisfaction flashed across his face..
