Ji Chen had no idea what was happening under the golden tree.

He was rushing to the entrance of the mystic realm, planning to leave.

Above the vast sea of blood was a dark red sky. The oppressive atmosphere was forever pervading.

At this moment, he was already missing the blue sky and white clouds of the New Moon Islands, the white beach, and the verdant jungle.

He was eager to return home.

It would still take some time for him to reach the entrance of the mystic realm. Taking advantage of this time, Ji Chen took out the loot he had obtained from the underground space.

Other than the crystal and the core of the military recruitment camp, there were four other things.

Two building blueprints and two treasures.

First, there were two building blueprints that looked rather ancient.

[Building Blueprint: Large Water Fort]

[Level: Special]

[Effect: Able to build a large water village that can accommodate all kinds of ships.]

[Construction Resources: 30,000 units of wood, 15,000 units of stone]

[Construction requirements: 1. Close to the sea 3. Gentle shoreline]

[Area: 500×100 (m)]

[Building Blueprint: Wood Processing Plant]

[Level: Special]

[Effect: Able to build a wood processing plant and process wood into various wooden products.]

[Resources required for construction: 2000 units of wood, 1000 units of stone]

[Area: 50 x 50 (m)]

They were all good blueprints!

The Large Water Fort was probably the kind of fort that could accommodate large ships. Not only could it be used as a dock to anchor ships, but it could also be used for ship repairs.

For the territory, it was also an essential building.

He couldn’t keep the ship floating on the sea all the time and rely on small boats for transportation, could he?

A wood processing factory would have been a great addition.

The territory’s specialty, precious jungle wood, could have been maximized in value through the wood processing factory.

By processing the various wood products, aside from supplying the territory, they could have created furniture, decorations, and other goods for export overseas.

This was an important link in establishing an industrial chain.

Purchasing processed products could have yielded much higher profits compared to selling raw materials!

Next, there were two more treasures to discuss.

The first one was an amulet.

[Strength Talisman]

[Level: 4-star treasure (single)]

[Effect: Increase strength by 200% but increase stamina consumption by 100%.]

[Cooldown Time: None]

A supreme-grade treasure!

It was an extraordinary treasure!

Simple yet powerful in its effects.

Enhancing strength, but it seemed useless for him.

As a Tidal Lord, he was a magic-based class and had no need for strength.

However, the effect of the amulet—a 200% strength boost—would be significant if placed in the hands of someone who already possessed great strength.

Coincidentally, he knew someone who possessed immense strength—a whale, or rather, Anina.

Anina should still be in the territory, waiting. Perhaps this amulet could be kept for her to use.

They say that one hand washes the other.

Maybe by giving her this, she would be more inclined to stay?

With a silent nod, Jichen stored the amulet in his backpack and took out the second treasure.

It was a silver-white necklace, radiating with magical energy.

[Mana Pendant]

[Level: 4-star treasure (single)]

[Effect: A container that can store a large amount of magic power. It can be used to replenish magic power.]

[Cooldown Time: None]

[Necklace made of Mithril]

Another top-grade item!

And it was a noble magical treasure!

Ji Chen looked at the necklace and felt a little awkward.

Both he and Alice relied on magic power for a living, so logically speaking, they were both suitable for them.

But there was only one necklace.

Should he use it himself? Or give it to Alice?

Tidal Power’s magic damage was extremely terrifying. His damage output alone was higher than an entire Sea Pixies team.

However, Alice seemed to be more suitable. The previous series of battles had also demonstrated the power of her singing. If she had this necklace, she would be even more powerful.

She seemed to have seen Ji Chen quietly struggling to make a decision.

“My lord, why don’t you use this necklace? Your Tide Force is immensely powerful and can better utilize the effects of this necklace,” Alice suggested considerately.

Upon hearing this, Jichen no longer hesitated and smiled. “Since that’s the case, I’ll keep it for now. If we need it in battle, you can use it.”

Alice’s face lit up with a sweet smile, radiating charm.

The rewards from this expedition in the mystic realm were quite remarkable.

They accumulated over 40,000 units of crystals, two core recruitment camps for units, two rare building blueprints, two exquisite treasures, and even a two-masted warship.

After a period of sailing, the colossal gate of the mystic realm came into view.

However, what puzzled him was the gathering of numerous player ships in front of the mystic realm gate.

“The Bauhinia Alliance is so despicable! They used us as cannon fodder, and now they demand us to give up half of our gains before they allow us to leave!” “These bastards! No wonder they were so generous in opening up the mystic realm and letting us in. They wanted to reap the benefits effortlessly!”

“We won’t tolerate them! Once the other players return, we’ll break through their blockade together. I refuse to believe that with so many ships and people, we can’t break their siege!”

These players, with anger on their faces, gathered together and discussed their grievances.

As they noticed the approach of the New Moon, they stopped their discussions and wore expressions of joy.

With such a large ship joining them, their chances of breaking through the blockade increased significantly.

Ji Chen returned to the ship after understanding the situation.

Looking at the door of the mystic realm, he was deep in thought.

Ever since he saw the Bauhinia Alliance attack the castle and suffer heavy losses, he had not seen them again.

Who would have thought that they would exit the mystic realm and start extorting tolls from players? Weren’t they afraid of incurring public outrage?

This was a little troublesome.

The mystic realm gate was the passage in and out of the mystic realm, typically limited to only one entrance.

Now, the Bauhinia Alliance had sealed it off again, and it seemed that there were numerous warships lined up outside. If they didn’t pay the toll, they would likely be greeted with cannon fire.

After some thought, Ji Chen decided to wait for the other players to return before rushing out together. It would be safer that way.

For now, he had to be patient and wait.

The speed at which the other players returned exceeded his expectations.

Within a few hours, they saw a large number of player ships rapidly approaching from the direction of the Great Golden Tree in the sea.

However, Ji Chen’s brows suddenly furrowed.

These players didn’t seem to be returning with a bountiful harvest. Instead, they looked a bit… like they were being chased and attacked?

“They’ve finally arrived. Let’s break through together.”

“Wait, something seems off.”

As soon as those words were spoken, they suddenly noticed a large wave of warships following behind the players’ ships.

The sails of these warships were adorned with a golden tree emblem.

They were Krieg warships!

The situation became clearer. These Krieg warships were relentlessly chasing after the players’ ships, like cats hunting mice. The cannons on their bows spewed flames.

The projectiles fired from the cannons sank players’ ships, causing some players and units who couldn’t swim to meet their demise in the sea.

Witnessing this scene, Ji Chen’s forehead creased with worry.

It seemed that something had happened after he left the Holy City….
