Chapter 57: Mysterious Girl
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Arriving at the mudflat, corpses of the Deep Sea Impalers were scattered everywhere. Broken tentacles, withered petals, and shriveled mouthparts lay strewn across the ground. Large patches of green blood added to the sensory assault.
Jichen furrowed his brow slightly. Despite being accustomed to the sight of death and bloodshed, this slightly nauseating scene made him feel somewhat uneasy. Especially the tentacles, they resembled something out of a Lovecraftian nightmare, sending shivers down his spine.
He approached the corpse of a Deep Sea Impaler, crouching down to examine the spikes on its mouthparts. Perhaps because the host was already dead, the venom on the spikes seemed to have lost its potency, making them no different from ordinary spikes.
He had initially thought of collecting them to use as concealed weapons, but now it seemed like a futile idea. Standing up, he surveyed the chaotic scene around him. Although he hadn’t yet determined the composition of the Deep Sea Impalers’ bodies, his intuition told him that they were definitely not edible.
After some thought, Ji Chen summoned the Shallow Sea Murlocs and pointed at the corpse.” Do you guys eat this?”
The shallow sea Murlocs looked at it, and their dull faces revealed undisguised disdain.
Alright, even the Murlocs didn’t eat such things…
…..
However, leaving them here unattended would be both repulsive and highly polluting to the environment. Jichen pondered for a moment. He instructed his troops to collect the corpses and remains of the Deep Sea Impalers, gathering them together for incineration to eliminate any traces.
Watching the towering pile of carcasses before him, Jichen raised his torch and unhesitatingly threw it in. Soon, the corpses ignited fiercely. Within the flames, all impurities were being eradicated.
Just as Jichen was admiring this “volcano” before him, the Naga warrior suddenly roared towards the sea. His heart skipped a beat. Could it be that more Deep Sea Impalers were approaching?
He turned his head to look, but was left stunned. Emerging slowly from the seawater was a young girl wielding a massive sword. In terms of appearance, this girl, with her beautiful silver-gray long hair, was no less impressive than Alice.
She wore a form-fitting black combat attire, with faint glimpses of intricate scales appearing on its surface. Beneath her battle skirt, a pair of fair and well-proportioned legs were revealed. Although not as slender and straight as Alice’s, the shape and size of her legs were just right.
Not too plump, not too thin—clearly someone who regularly exercised. In simple terms, those legs were worth a year of play.
As Jichen hid behind his troops, enjoying the view with a gentlemanly gaze, the silver-haired girl glanced at the burning mound of corpses. A flicker of admiration flashed in her crimson eyes.
“Human, your approach is correct. Incineration is one of the most effective ways to deal with the Sea Heirs,” she said.
Jichen narrowed his eyes slightly. His alertness increased because the beautiful girl before him was not human at all!

A rare hero of purple tier!
With a potential of red tier heritage.
And a level as high as 20.
These three pieces of data instantly made his breathing slightly erratic.
Just this morning, he was marveling at the ability to summon blue-tier heroes at the Hero Altar.
And now, before his eyes stood a living, breathing hero of purple rare tier.
Her formidable purple skills were simply intimidating.
And there was that gigantic sword, almost as tall as her, resembling a massive door panel.
With a single strike, she could easily kill someone.
Yet, she effortlessly carried it on her shoulder, seemingly without any effort.
This damn thing was a giant whale disguised as a human!
It was downright frightening.
However, if he could recruit her… wouldn’t he gain another formidable and unstoppable general, capable of slaying enemies with ease?
As for the fact that she wasn’t human, well, he already had the adorable singing siren girl, Alice, so having one more powerful deep sea dragon whale girl wouldn’t be a big problem.
With that thought in mind, the look in Ji Chen’s eyes gradually grew passionate.
His heart burned like the blazing mountain of corpses.
He cleared his throat and spoke in a friendly tone.
“Do you know about these deep sea piercers… the Sea Heirs?”
Anina furrowed her brows and nodded. “Of course, the Sea Heirs are an extremely formidable enemy, known by all the marine intelligent races.”
Observing her grave expression, Ji Chen couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Their strength isn’t that great, so why do you say that?”
“Weak in strength? That’s only for their current state,” Anina replied with a heavy tone, her gaze fixed on the burning mountain of corpses. “The Sea Heirs have a desire to destroy living beings and possess a powerful ability to evolve and adapt. They can evolve into even more formidable beings through battle.”
“As long as they are given the chance to adapt, you will witness Sea Heirs that are several times stronger than before.”
Ji Chen still didn’t fully understand. “But doesn’t evolution take time?”
“What if I told you that they can evolve in an extremely short period?” Anina shook her head.
“As long as the main brain of a group of Sea Heirs isn’t killed, they will quickly adapt to their enemies and develop abilities specifically targeting them.”
“Perhaps within a few months, or maybe even within a month, they will come knocking on our doors again.”
Ji Chen was momentarily stunned.
This damn thing was like a race similar to the Zerg, wasn’t it?
He didn’t realize it earlier, but now, after being mentioned, it all became clear to him.
Their ability to adapt and evolve in a short period of time.
And their Hive thinking.
Doesn’t this mean that more Sea Heirs would have appeared in the future?
With this thought, his face darkened.
But then…
He thought about the battle just now.
Didn’t Alice control these Sea Heirs from the beginning with her Enchanting Song?
Controlling them on a mental level was like occupying the bandwidth of a network.
So, was it possible that these Sea Heirs hadn’t had a chance to transmit the situation back, and the network had been completely cut off?
Thinking about it, there was a good chance!
Although contacting their main brain and realizing that over 200 Sea Heirs suddenly lost connection would have prompted them to send another batch.
But the Sea Heirs sent over wouldn’t have developed specific abilities.
It was much better than sending a bunch of Sea Heirs with 100% mental resistance who completely ignored Alice’s singing.
Bring it on, one wave at a time!
If that was the case, there was no need to worry too much.
Besides, he was a man with cheat-like abilities!
Who knows, maybe his units would have evolved even faster than the Sea Heirs!
