the ocean lord is unusually powerful

Chapter 14

As Ji Chen walked past the stranded boat, he came across a long stretch of beach. At the end of the beach, a black cliff gradually rose up. This cliff was a small corner on the east side of the island, where the waves became turbulent and slammed fiercely against the bottom of the cliff.

Climbing up the black cliff, Ji Chen was stunned by what he saw. Apart from the breathtaking sea view, he also discovered something else – not just one, but three islands!

This was not an isolated island, but an archipelago!

Due to the terrain and dense trees, his view was limited to the side of the beach that faced the ocean.

However, after climbing the cliff, his sight extended into the distance.

His vision surpassed the tall trees and steep cliffs, revealing a curved line on the right side of the main island.

The islands were gradually decreasing in size as they went further out. The distance between the islands and the main island was not far, mostly within a few hundred meters.

Ji Chen noticed two islands at the end, linked by a crystal-clear light yellow beach with water so shallow that one could see the bottom. During low tide at night, it was even possible to walk across.

It was as if there was a huge hand that arranged the four islands in such a manner. It could be said to be divine workmanship!

In addition to discovering the other islands, Ji Chen also caught a glimpse of the interior of the main island.

The island was elevated in the northeast and lower in the southwest. On the highest point of the northeast side, there was a rugged mountain range with a towering peak that extended into the clouds.

A snow-white waterfall cascaded from the peak of the mountain, resembling a silver river as it flowed down the rugged terrain. In front of the mountain was an open and flat valley with few trees and green grass.

The terrain sloped from the northeast to the southwest. Behind the valley lay a vast jungle that extended all the way to the territory, covering almost half of the entire island.

Near the northwest side of the island, there was an extremely tall forest of giant trees that looked like redwoods.

Even if he stood on the cliff, his vision could not penetrate the forest of giant trees and see further.

Perhaps there were more islands behind the forest.

Ji Chen let out a breath and came back to his senses.

This main island was much bigger than he had imagined.

However, this was even better. A larger area meant more room for development. At least he did not have to worry about land problems in the future.

He remembered the scene in front of him and continued to move forward with the Murlocs.

Climbing down the cliff, the pale golden pillar of light that represented the third resource point was not far away.

After passing through a small rocky beach, a fish farm appeared in the direction of the ocean.

Unlike the previous fish farm, this one was radiating with a shimmering golden light.

[Bass Fishing Ground]

[Scale: Small]

[Level: 1]

[Main Resource: Ordinary Bass]

[By-product produced: Golden Bass (2-star specialty) [One-fifth of the main resource]

[Storage: 17500/17500 tails]

[Maximum weekly production: 2100 tails]

[Weekly Personnel Production: 210/person]

This was a resource point that could produce rare by-products!

In addition to producing crude iron, the crude iron mine would also produce a small amount of stone.

Besides producing ordinary bass, this Bass Farm could also produce 2-star specialty Golden Bass!

This resource point had the potential to produce rare by-products, but the chance of this happening was described on the official website as rare, random, and uncontrollable. The level of rarity was evident from this description.

At that moment, he was also reminded of the two 4-star specialties in his territory – the precious jungle wood and the premium coffee beans – and the 2-star specialty that he just obtained.

Together, these rare resources could become the main exports of his territory in the future. Once trade routes were established, he could sell these specialties to the mainland or other islands and reap a fortune.

He could already envision a future where his island was prosperous and wealthy, with endless streams of gold and silver flowing towards him.

With these few valuable specialties, he was confident that he could build a thriving and successful territory in no time.

“Occupying resource points by traveling across mountains and rivers is not a loss, it’s actually profitable! ”

Ji Chen thought happily.

To reach this fishery, the territory had to traverse a beach, a cliff, and a rocky beach, making land transportation inconvenient.

However, with a small fishing boat or other sea vehicles, it would be much more convenient to bypass the cliff and arrive from the sea.

After exploring all three resource points, he obtained significant gains.

Just as he was in a good mood and was about to occupy the fishery…

The Murloc suddenly became alert.

Their dead fisheyes looked in the direction of the ocean.

Beetles with tentacles and extremely flat bodies climbed onto the beach, densely packed together.

At first glance, there were at least a hundred of them.

[Beard Trilobites]

[Level: 1]

[Tier: 1, 1 star]

[Skill: Carapace Defense (possesses a layer of horny defense on its carapace, providing weak protection).]

[Military characteristic: Evolution stagnation (no matter how the external environment changes, the trilobites will not change much)]

[Raise the middle finger to the world]

These trilobites were probably the guardians of this fishery.

However, it was only 1-star Tier one, which was even weaker than the Murlocs before they were strengthened.

They were like experience babies.

Ji Chen’s interest instantly waned, and he casually let the Murlocs finish them off.

“Ding ~ The battle has ended. You have obtained a glorious victory…”

“… You have received 50 experience points. Current experience is [50%/100%].”

He examined their bodies and shook his head in disappointment.

These trilobites were not only weak, but they did not even have much meat on their bodies.

They were simply useless.

After occupying the Bass Fishery, he returned to his territory.

While on the way back, he contemplated the recent events.

It dawned on him that the Murlocs’ attack power might not be sufficient to deal with certain monsters.

Their sharpened bone spears were effective against enemies without armor and thin skin, but creatures like the clay beetles, which had a sturdy armor and were fast-moving, posed a significant challenge.

“I can continue unlocking the Murlocs’ nodes and further improving their strength, especially their attack ability,” he thought on the way back. “Alternatively, I could search for a new military recruitment camp and develop a new army.”

When he returned to the territory, he called Wilus over.

“Sir, the beetles you brought back have been processed. Their meat content is very high, with each beetle yielding 50 to 60 units of food.”

“We obtained about 1100 units of food from the twenty beetle carcasses, which were processed as per your instructions. Some of them are currently being dried into jerky.”

“Thanks to your leadership, the food shortage crisis in the territory has been resolved,” Wilus said respectfully. “Your subjects are all impressed with your strength and wisdom. We are fortunate to have a wise lord like you.”

Ji Chen couldn’t help but smile.

This Wilus was good at everything, but he liked to tell the truth.

“Alright, I have a mission for you. I found a fish farm about three kilometers east of the territory. You should organize people to build a simple dock and get the craftsmen to make small fishing boats.”

“The fishery can provide a stable source of food for the territory. In addition, send some people to work in the newly discovered clay mine. The four cave miners in the crude iron mine will also be sent to the clay mine. ”

“Quickly allocate manpower and start collecting resources.”

“Yes, as you wish.”

Wilus bowed in response and said with a slightly hesitant expression, “Sir, there are still many wild beasts in the forest near the territory. I’m afraid that the residents might be attacked on their way to work.”

“You don’t need to worry about that. Soon, I will lead the army to clear out the dangers lurking in the jungle.”

“I understand.”

After delegating tasks to Wilus, Ji Chen examined the available resources in his territory.

Wood and stone were reserved for the construction of the simple dock, leaving 1276 units and 630 units respectively.

The inventory showed 906 units of fiber and 600 units of crude iron, but the amount of clay was less, only 216 units.

Nevertheless, once the small clay mine was operational, it would provide a steady supply of clay resources.

He nonchalantly accessed the military talent tree.
