Chapter 275: The Might of the Tyrant Azure Dragon, a Familiar Figure

The Gnomish merchant ship and the wooden warships stood side by side in the port like vessels from different eras, creating a striking visual contrast.
In one part of the harbor, the military had cordoned off an area and placed over a dozen metal crates there.
Thotmudo walked up and began to look around around with a serious expression.
After a while, he turned around and said, “It seems that the Gnomes haven’t made much progress in this regard over the past few thousand years. Human lad, I can try to open these crates for you, but you need to place them in a location without anyone else around. If something goes wrong, it could destroy this place.”
It appeared that Thotmudo wasn’t absolutely certain about his ability to unlock the Gnomish crates, as he was more skilled in forging weapons than in alchemical technology.
Ji Chen nodded and called all the Murloc Rangers.
These creatures, several meters long and weighing several tons each, had enough strength and endurance to haul these metal lumps.
Soon, with a thunderous noise, forty to fifty lizard-like Murloc Rangers appeared at the harbor and securely connected them to the crates, placing round logs underneath them.
Clearing a path through the woods, they transported the crates to a clearing far from the Crown of the Ocean, where they were placed separately.
Seeing this, Thotmudo wasted no time and began his work of deciphering.
First, he began by cracking open the already empty Number 7 cargo crate. Everything inside this crate had been extorted by Ji Chen before, so there was nothing left inside. It was the perfect opportunity for Thotmudo to practice his skills.
As Thotmudo initiated the decryption process, everyone retreated a hundred meters away.
While the explosion of the crate might not harm Thotmudo, an epic-level hero, it could certainly be fatal to the soldiers of the Crown of the Ocean.
On the vast empty ground, only Thotmudo was busy at work.
One hour later…
Under a makeshift sunshade, Ji Chen lay on Alice’s thighs with an utterly bored expression, enjoying her kneading and massaging.
Suddenly, he heard a noise coming from Thotmudo1 s direction.
“Human lad, I’ve successfully opened this empty crate.”
Ji Chen promptly got up and walked over to see that the Number 7 crate had been opened, revealing four empty cabinets inside, and there was no sign of it being rigged to explode.
“Thotmudo, you truly are a master of your craft. You live up to your legendary status as a Dwarven blacksmith!”
Hearing this, the straightforward Thotmudo couldn’t help but stroke his beard and laughed heartily.
“Of course, this is nothing for me.”
Ji Chen chuckled inwardly, knowing that Dwarves were easier to deal with than Elves. A few kind words could make them happy.
“Well, in that case, please, Thotmudo, open the rest of the crates.”
“Sure thing, but after I open them, you’ll have to get me a few bottles of good wine. The ones from before are almost gone.”
“Naturally, as soon as they’re all opened, the wine will be delivered straight to your hands!”
For the mere cost of a few bottles of wine, he managed to enlist rhe services of an epic-level dwarf hero. Ji Chen couldn’t help but feel a slight sense of pride and vanity about it.
Calculating based on the time it took to open crate number 7, it would take at least a day or two to unlock all the crates.
However, Ji Chen wasn’t in a hurry for this time.
Returning to the Crown of the Ocean, he went to rhe Lobster Rider recruitment camp by rhe sea and rook out the Tyrant Azure Dragon recruitment camp core from his backpack, using it.
As rhe seawater churned violently, a stepped pyramid over twenty meters high and the size of three baskerball courts suddenly arched up from underwater, becoming the most conspicuous structure near the coast.
Wow, this 5-tier recruitment camp is truly something to behold. If the 6 and 7-tier camps require even more space, wouldn’t they be on par with a small territory?
As Ji Chen looked up, he observed that the stepped pyramid was crafted from enormous, weathered stones adorned with seaweed, coral, and various underwater flora. It exuded an ancient and profound presence.

[Click to Recruit]
Ji Chen was slightly surprised.
Recruiting just one of these required thousands of rare resources, and you could only recruit three per week. The slots were extremely limited, truly befitting a 5th-tier unit.
While it was costly, he believed it was worth it. After experiencing the Skeleton Ruins, Ji Chen witnessed the power of the 5th-tier Skeleton Wyvern, which, with a simple breath, could melt dozens of 4th-tier units. The Tyrant Azure Dragon, a 5th-tier unit with a higher tier and 5 stars, was bound to be even more formidable.
Without a moment’s hesitation, he used up the available recruitment slots for the week.
“Recruit!”
“Ding- Consuming 2,400 units of crystal, mithril, orichalcum, and iron, recruiting 3 units of Tyrant Azure Dragons (5th Tier, 5 Stars).”
Several rare resources decreased significantly, causing Ji Chen’s eyebrows to twitch slightly.
Fortunately, he had acquired a considerable amount of rare resources before heading out to sea, and he had discovered numerous resource points in the underground lizardman world. Therefore, the Crown of the Ocean’s current reserves were still quite sufficient. Considering the consumption of recruiting Tyrant Azure Dragons, they could last at least a month.
The instant he activated the recruitment burton, the Azure Dragon Pyramid rumbled to life. Its central section split open, unveiling a creature stretching over thirty meters in length. It bore a resemblance to a colossal lizard with blood-red eyes, an enormous serrated mouth resembling a shredder, and a robust, muscular tail that made up half of its body. Each swing of its tail churned up substantial amounts of foam..
