“This is not what I know, and it’s not what noble and promise-keeping elves should do!”

Elin felt even more embarrassed by these words, but after all, she was an elf who lived for thousands of years. She had thick skin, and her expression remained unchanged. She simply turned her hand and magically produced a wooden bottle emitting a faint woody fragrance, handing it over with a light cough.

“These Water of Life can be considered a gift for our meeting, but I must take the Tree of Life with me; 1 cannot give it to you.”

“Of course, I can’t take such a big tree with me either.”

As Ji Chen spoke, he accepted the wooden bottle, a smile on his face. He raised his hand slightly, and a thread of magic emerged, transferring all the pale golden Water of Life into the bottle, not leaving a single drop.

Looking at the wooden bottle in his hand, a hint of satisfaction flashed across his face.

Even though it was contained in the bottle, the life force that could make people excited with just a whiff could still be felt from it.

Well, now this journey had finally yielded a substantial harvest.

Ji Chen put the wooden bottle into his backpack, calming his emotions.

He walked to Elin’s side.

“Is taking away this Tree of Life your purpose for this journey?”

Elin nodded and looked at the large tree that was still lush despite the biting cold wind, sighing slightly.

“The elves once had hundreds of Trees of Life, and we were incredibly prosperous at that time. But now, only a few of them remain, our bloodline is becoming thinner, and our strength is declining.

1 have doubts about whether the elves can continue to exist when facing the inevitable darkness and terror of the future…”

He was puzzled; the elves were one of the most prosperous races in this world.

The Elf Empire and the Silvermoon Dynasty were among the most powerful nations, with numerous strong individuals and millions of soldiers. What enemy could threaten them?

Ji Chen shook his head, and then as if remembering something, he said in a deep voice, “Lady Elin, two fleets from the Bass Kingdom have also entered this icy wilderness. They may be here for the Tree of Life and the Water of Life you mentioned.

Furthermore, they may want to obtain the divine relic that is located deeper in the ice wilderness. Those black creatures probably won’t hold out for long.”

Having Elin, an epic-tier powerhouse, take action would undoubtedly settle things here and save him from expending more effort and energy.

Besides, if Elin helped on the journey ahead, that divine relic imbued with the power of the ocean might also become his.

Ji Chen encouraged Elin without changing his expression, “These small fries dare to covet the possessions of your elves. It’s truly despicable. They need to be taught a lesson.”

However, Elin, being a crafty individual who had lived for thousands of years, furrowed her eyebrows slightly, but soon she thought of something. She raised the corner of her mouth with a sly look and said without a smile.

“They will still be your problem to deal with. 1’11 leave immediately after taking the Tree of Life. If you want that divine relic, go and get it with your own power.”

With that, Elin used her magic to perform a certain elven secret technique. A majestic golden magic enveloped the tens of meters tall Tree of Life, pulling it out of the ground and suspending it in mid-air.

Elin’s expression was solemn as she formed hand seals. The Tree of Life rapidly shrank until it became the size of a human head.

The Tree of Life, which had been reduced countless times in size, floated in her hand like a miniature model.

Then, in the midst of the astonished gazes of the onlookers, Elin casually opened a one-person-high, eye-shaped void tunnel. She walked into it without haste, and with a swish, she disappeared, leaving behind a disarrayed group of people in the cold wind.

Ji Chen was speechless.

He didn’t know when the artillery fire had stopped, and on the ship, they watched as the oncoming deviant ghosts were all blasted to pieces. Only the wreckage remained. Duoru breathed a sigh of relief and shifted his attention back to this side.

However, when he looked over here, he couldn’t help but freeze.

The lush tree that stood on the grassy field had disappeared, leaving only a huge pit in the ground.

Where had his massive Tree of Life gone to?

How did it vanish in the blink of an eye!?

Duoru saw Ji Chen and his eyes turned red instantly.

It must have been this person who dug up his Tree of Life and took away what belonged to him!

This thief was the one who had previously entangled the propellers with water plants, trying to get here ahead of them and claim the Tree of Life and Water of Life for himself!

You damn thief!

Duoru trembled with anger, his voice becoming hoarse.

“All cannons, target the enemy! Blast him to death!”

At the same time, Ji Chen also noticed that the Bass Kingdom fleet took notice of them. The corner of his mouth twitched.

Damn it, it seems like I’m the scapegoat.

Seeing that the warships and their cannons were turning towards them, Ji Chen knew that they couldn’t withstand artillery bombardment head-on. Without hesitation, he led Herard and a hundred Naga Guardians to start retreating.

“Quickly retreat below the ice layer!”

They had barely moved away from their initial location when a relentless barrage of cannon fire wreaked havoc on the grassy field. Shells poured down like bullets, making sharp whistling sounds as they plummeted from above. The resulting explosions and shattered ice fragments resembled a powerful, advancing force, mowing down everything in its path. It shattered the icy surface and towering icebergs into countless pieces.

Under the relentless bombardment of artillery fire, the thick ice layer cracked and shattered, revealing the seawater beneath.

Ji Chen remained calm, and with a thought, he drew out pieces of seawater, quickly condensing them into a massive water curtain tens of meters high and tens of meters wide in front of him. It was like a city wall, blocking the incoming barrage of shells.

The rain of artillery fire exploded on the water curtain, splashing water everywhere but showing no signs of breaking through.

Several tens of seconds later, the water curtain collapsed with a thunderous roar, but there was no trace of Ji Chen and his group behind it. There was only a gaping hole in the ice layer, seemingly mocking their incompetence.

Duoru slammed his fist heavily on the table, his face contorted, and his molars almost crushed.

Damn it, they let those thieves get away!!

Right under their noses!!

Beside him, the Deceiver looked at the gaping hole, his tone as dark as water.

“…They must also be heading for the divine relic. As long as we find the divine relic first, we can lie in wait and retrieve the Tree of Life and Water of Life and capture them.

At that time, I will torture their bodies and souls with the most brutal torture, making them wish they were dead.”

Duoru took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down forcibly.

His eyes were still bloodshot, and his words were filled with suppressed rage like a volcanic eruption.

“Advance towards the depths of the glacier, continue searching for the divine relic.

If you encounter suspicious enemies, use saturation fire cover without hesitation, do not spare any shells.

1 will make those thieves perish and be buried here!”

Three kilometers away from the grassy field, behind an ice mountain.

Ji Chen watched as the Bass Kingdom fleet sailed slowly between the floating ice and glaciers, a faint smile curling up at the corner of his mouth, feeling quite pleased.

The commanders of these two fleets must be furious, right? Disappearing right under their noses is like a slap in the face.

“My lord, should we continue entangling their propellers with water plants?” Benbo asked with a sly look.

Ji Chen shook his head. “This tactic can only work once. We used it before, and they must be on high alert now. Using it again would only result in pointless losses.

Now what we need to do is to find the divine relic first. Even if we sink these two Bass Kingdom fleets here, it won’t matter if we don’t deal with the extremely powerful sea beast and millions of ordinary sea beasts outside. We can’t leave until we deal with them.”

After a moment of contemplation, he continued, “The Dragonblood Legion will spread out in a fan-shaped formation under the ice layer to search. The other legions will conduct surface searches on the glacier. If you find any clues, report back immediately.”

“Yes!”
