The stone carving told the story of this Razorfin Demon with double wings, valiantly battling against enemy deities. Due to being surrounded and injured by other deities in a despicable manner, it had to strategically retreat during the early stages of the divine war, taking refuge within its divine realm.
Within the stone carving, the malevolent deity was depicted sitting on the throne of its divine realm, gazing into the distance as if seeking the opportune moment for another battle.
However, Ji Chen couldn’t help but almost burst into laughter when he saw this.
He had figured it out; this malevolent deity was actually quite inexperienced. It didn’t take long for it to be thoroughly defeated by enemy deities. While it appeared to be a strategic retreat, it was essentially fleeing back to its divine realm for shelter.
The followers who constructed this altar had a skill in portraying this pitiful story so nobly, depicting the retreating malevolent deity as making a tactical withdrawal. It was a kind of art in its own right.
However, this malevolent deity seemed to have killed one of the enemy deities through a surprise attack, allowing its followers to seize its divine realm and obtain numerous treasures.
The stone carving ended here, leaving him somewhat disappointed as it didn’t describe what happened after the divine war.
After circling the altar, Ji Chen ascended the steps at the front and reached the top of the altar.
Beneath the colossal malevolent deity statue’s feet, there was a much smaller statue of a Razorfin Demon emitting substantial gray matter that spread eerily around it, exuding an aura of malevolence.
At this moment, the Tidal Domain seemed to encounter an insulator and could only exist outside the altar, unable to extend onto the altar itself.
It seemed that this small demon statue was the generator of the negative force field.
Just as Ji Chen was contemplating how to destroy it, an information panel appeared before him.
[Small Twin-Winged Demon Statue]
[Level]: Special
[Effects]: 0 Can generate a negative force field with a maximum radius of ten kilometers. Enemies within the negative force field will enter a negative state, suffering a 5-35% reduction in all attributes.
(2) Can grant spell immunity shields to friendly units within the negative force field, making them immune to all spell damage for 3 hours, with a cooldown of 1 day (if the unit belongs to the Razorfin Demon or other demon categories, it becomes permanent).
[A statue made by a certain malevolent deity to guard various divine temples]
[Can be bound and occupied with spiritual power]
!!!
This was a jackpot!
The value of this Small Twin-Winged Demon Statue was beyond question.
It could provide an enormous negative force field, enough to cover most of the New Moon Islands. Just like their previous assault here, once they entered it, they would be subjected to powerful negative effects.
They hadn’t even started fighting yet, and they were already at a disadvantage.
Ji Chen had a deep appreciation for this. Without the assistance of the Tidal Domain, they might have faced defeat as early as the battle with the Dark Acolytes in the temple.
This was undoubtedly a massive advantage.
And how many people possessed domain-type skills?
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it was as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Therefore, if the enemy wanted to attack the New Moon Islands or the Crown of the Ocean, they would need to weigh their options carefully.
With just this advantage alone, the defensive capability of the Crown of the Ocean was increased several times, even greater than the effect of a massive army.
In addition, it could provide a shield that granted immunity to spells for troops. This was probably why the Dark Acolytes from the Corrupted Temple were immune to the Tyrant Azure Dragon’s icy breath.
However, only demon-type units could enjoy this permanent treatment, while other units had a duration of only three hours. Nevertheless, Ji Chen was quite satisfied.
Being immune to spells was already a significant advantage.
Ji Chen didn’t rush to bind it; instead, he stowed the small figurine in his backpack.
In front of someone else’s deity figurine, directly snatching the binding felt a bit unscrupulous, and the taste of NTR (netorare) was too strong.
He descended from the altar.
The soul servants had also completed their search of the surroundings and piled up their findings in an open area.
Perhaps due to the temple’s long-standing existence, there weren’t many things that could be preserved.
The majority of the valuable items were various rare resources that didn’t easily decay.
In addition to crystals, mithril, and adamantium, which were the most widely used rare resources, with quantities ranging from 2,000 to 3,000 units, there was even an extremely rare resource from the outside world – Spirit Crystals.
[Spirit Crystal]
[Level]: 5
Its appearance was similar to a white diamond, but it had a color more akin to stalactites, resembling something of utmost purity.
At a glance, one could easily sense the pure energy contained within, dense yet gentle.
Ji Chen had seen in the chat channel that a lucky player once explored a forest, stumbled upon a Level 5 resource point where Tier 5 wild creatures were battling Tier 5 guardian creatures, resulting in a mutual destruction of all of them.
Seizing this opportunity, the player entered the resource point and discovered that it was actually a Level 5 Spirit Crystal mine. Although it only had a reserve of 50 units, with these 50 units of Spirit Crystals, they obtained resources equivalent to an entire town’s value.
This incredibly fortunate player, thanks to this substantial resource, managed to dominate other players within a hundred-mile radius and became a local overlord.
And now, before Ji Chen lay a total of 300 Spirit Crystals!
With just these Spirit Crystals, even if all the soul servants and Tyrant Azure Dragon fell, it would be enough to compensate for his losses.
To this Temple Dark Acolyte, or whatever his name was, I thank you sincerely for leaving me such a generous gift.
If you could provide me with another 300 Spirit Crystals, I could help you break free from the ice and present you before your dark deity, so you won’t have to spend your nights in the cold, without peace.
Feeling quite content, Ji Chen stored the Spirit Crystals and other rare resources one by one.
Then, he turned his attention to the various odds and ends.
Some were weapons and equipment that had rusted over time, while others were wooden carvings of dark gods that were completely useless to him.
Suddenly, he noticed something mixed in among them, and his eyes lit up as he pulled it out.
What he held in his hand was a piece of golden paper that had endured countless ages but still remained exceptionally pristine.
Although it was made of gold, its thickness was as fine as a strand of hair, delicate to the touch yet surprisingly resilient, preventing it from tearing.
Taking a closer look, intricate runes and patterns were engraved on the golden surface, appearing mysterious and noble, as if they contained boundless secrets.
On the back, there was some kind of script that Ji Chen didn’t recognize, filled with colorful flowing characters, resembling a beautifully crafted work of art, leaving people in awe.
[Travis Relic]
[Level]: Special
[Effect]: Unknown
[An ancient elf relic known only to the elf race. If it is handed over to the elves, perhaps it can earn their friendship.]
Wow, this guy seems to have a special connection with the elves, doesn’t he?
Everywhere he goes, he encounters elves and obtains items related to them.
Elin, the Elf Squad, the elves of the Northern Continent, the Gloria map, Elf Treasury Key Fragments, and now this Travis Relic. He’s really entangled with the elves.
Although he didn’t know the specific function of this item yet, judging from the description, it was undoubtedly something extraordinary. When released, it might even cause quite a stir.
Moreover, it appeared in a Corrupted Temple, so it could have been plundered by the followers of the dark deity from the elves. By defeating that temple’s Dark Acolyte, he could consider it a form of revenge for the elves.
When the time comes, the elves might be extremely grateful to him and offer their gratitude.
Coincidentally, he had plans to head to the Northern Continent and establish formal contact with the Elven race. When the time came, he would return this item to them and take advantage of the opportunity to request some favors. It didn’t seem unreasonable, did it?
He wasn’t greedy. He could casually request dozens of lovely elf maidens as servants or ask for an elf squad to serve as his guards. It would certainly boost his reputation when he ventured out.
After stashing away the Travis Relic, Ji Chen rubbed his hands in anticipation. Like a scavenger, he rummaged through the pile of odds and ends, hoping to find some other hidden treasures..
