Chapter 305: Negative State, Amos Temple

A weapon beyond the mundane?
Ji Chen pondered, somewhat unclear about what exactly “beyond the mundane” meant in terms of grade.
Treasures above 7 stars were legendary treasures, and beyond that were artifacts.
If “mundane” referred to treasures of 7 stars, then anything above that was likely legendary.
Unfortunately, this fragment of a trident’s tip was probably just a small part of the complete trident. Finding this piece had been a stroke of luck; searching for the other parts would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
Ji Chen shook his head slightly with a hint of regret but didn’t dwell on it, tossing it into his backpack where it would gather dust.
After collecting gold and silver coins, gemstones, and jewelry, he left the lair of the Four-Armed Nagas and reunited with Alice.
The group set out again, heading to the last monster lair.
This time, the monsters were fourth-tier three-star Blue Ring Octopus Beasts. They could release a massive amount of toxins through their tentacles, making them formidable opponents, and there were plenty of them, numbering over a thousand.
Under Ji Chen’s strong crowd control, the process of enslavement went smoothly this time.
Several tens of minutes later, Alice’s army of soul servants had increased by another thousand, reaching a total of over two thousand, with just over a thousand left to reach the maximum.
As they explored the three monster lairs, Ji Chen returned to King King Island.
When I_Love_Black_Stockings saw over two thousand fourth-tier monsters trailing behind them, behaving as obedient as pets, she was utterly speechless with astonishment.
Since when could monsters be tamed like this?
Ji Chen paid no attention to her shocked expression and asked directly, “Are there any other monster lairs nearby?”
“I only know of those three… but 1 can ask the other players on King Kong Island!” l_Love_Black_Stockings quickly said and opened the chat channel to inquire. Soon, she received a response.
“Some players said they found an underwater ruin in a remote sea area to the south of King King Island, occupied by a large number of monsters. It’s probably another monster lair.
But they mentioned that there seems to be something like a negative force field in that area. Anyone who gets too close is affected by negative effects. Coupled with the strong monsters there, no one has dared to approach.”
An underwater ruin?
Ji Chen became interested, and his adventurous spirit ignited once again.
Ruins meant danger, but they also meant rewards.
If he hadn’t taken the risk to enter the Skeleton Secret Realm earlier, how could he have met Elin and Thotmudo and obtained treasures like the Illusory Mask and Void Ring?
Ji Chen had always followed the philosophy of high risk, high reward.
“Where is the exact location?”
I_Love_Black_Stockings was taken aback by Ji Chen’s nonchalant attitude. What others saw as a dangerous place might not be anything to a pro like him.
“I’ll ask… That sea area is about eighty to ninety nautical miles south of King Kong Island. Near the underwater ruins, there’s a small island with a tall statue on it.
As long as you can find that small island, the underwater ruins should be easy to locate.”
Eighty to ninety nautical miles, roughly two hundred kilometers when converted, wasn’t a great distance at sea.
With a rough idea in mind, Ji Chen set off immediately.
The nine Tyrant Azure Dragons spread out in a V-shape formation, let out a roar, and burst forth with formidable momentum.
The seawater churned, and countless small monsters and fish fled in fear.
Behind the Tyrant Azure Dragons were over two thousand soulless, lifeless monsters, like puppets manipulated by someone.
Even so, more than two thousand monsters, all of them at least fourth-tier l-star, represented a frightening force.
With such a powerful army traveling through the sea, countless monsters scattered in their wake.
Due to the influence of soul servants, Ji Chen and his group didn’t move very quickly, and took half a day to reach this sea area.
This was a distant area, well away from any known shipping routes. There were no indications of human activity nearby, and no readily available resources to exploit. It was a place that not even animals would venture into.
There were some scattered small islands in the vicinity, but apart from dilapidated and abandoned houses beyond repair, there was nothing worth noting.
Holes in the houses, tattered cloth fluttering in the wind on wooden frames, and small docks reduced to decaying wooden supports all gave the place a desolate feeling.
After leaving this group of scattered islands behind, they continued searching for the island with the statue.
“Lord, do you think that thing over there is a statue?”
Alice pointed to the distance.
Ji Chen followed her pointing finger and saw a small island in the distance. There stood a tall statue.
“Head towards that small island.”
With his command, the army changed course and sped up.
As the distance shortened, the statue’s appearance became clearer. When Ji Chen finally saw it clearly, his pupils couldn’t help but contract.
The statue had the appearance of a monstrous creature with a green face, sharp fangs, and wings on its back. One hand cradled its knee, while the other pointed into the distance. Its enormous eyes carried a hint of ferocity.
The sculptor had crafted this statue with such precision that it appeared as if it could soar into the sky at any instant. Every aspect, from the wings poised for flight to the well-defined muscles, sharp claws, and even the wrinkles on its skin, appeared remarkably lifelike.
It appeared as if it were real.
Although it was just an inanimate statue, it exuded pure evil, strangeness, and chaos.
Alice looked at it curiously and asked, “Lord, is that thing a statue?”
