Having just experienced the events in the hall, it left her with some psychological scars.

This transformation from being so timid and far from the arrogant demeanor from earlier made Ji Chen quite astonished.

When did he become someone who could make a legacy-tier hero like her so wary with just his subordinates’ aura?

Augustus glanced at Ji Chen, seeing no immediate reaction from him, he relaxed a bit and spoke.

“Lord Ji Chen, Patheia will take you to the area where the Ocean Pixies reside later. However, we cannot assist you on your journey underwater. I’ll be waiting here for your triumphant return.”

Without saying much, Ji Chen nodded.

“All right, everyone, let’s depart!”

With that command, the Featherfolk battalion began to rise in rows, their pristine white wings forming a breathtaking white carpet in the sky.

Ji Chen and his group boarded the Sea Crystal Wyrm, flying towards the lower floating mountain where the army was stationed.

Solidus, seeing so many “bird people” following behind, couldn’t help but be puzzled. “What’s going on…?”

“The Featherfolk are taking us to find another indigenous group, the Ocean Pixies. Perhaps we can obtain some valuable evidence and clues from them,” Ji Chen briefly explained before delving back into his expertise in the realm of the sea.

A massive stretch of seawater, seemingly defying gravity, surged upwards and formed a floating watery area about a hundred meters above, leaving the inexperienced Featherfolk warriors and Patheia utterly amazed.

Is this even possible!?

As they slowly descended from a hundred meters high to the sea’s surface, Kraken emerged from the ocean, its colossal forms nearly scaring the Featherfolk out of their wits. Swords were drawn, and arrows were nocked on bows.

“Don’t worry; this is my servant, Kraken,” Ji Chen reassured them as he observed them hastily taking to the skies.

Patheia, displaying a blend of astonishment and skepticism, had her longsword at the ready until she noticed the Kraken remained still. After a moment’s pause, she sheathed her sword and signaled for the other Featherfolk to relax.

The imposing presence of this giant octopus had a greater impact on her than the legendary Naga.

So, there were many powerful individuals in the world beyond? Even a human lord’s group had so many impressive individuals, and none of them was weaker than her.

Her sense of competition and self-assuredness took another hard hit, and she regarded Ji Chen with a hint of fear.

Ji Chen couldn’t help but smile when he saw that.

I still prefer your untamed and headstrong demeanor from the beginning.

In the sky, thousands of Featherfolk warriors flew through the air, and on the sea surface, thousands of Ocean Crown soldiers raced forward.

The habitat of the Ocean Pixies lay at the far end of the sea, and it took them several hours to reach a sea area dotted with small island groups.

Ji Chen stepped onto the beach of one of the islands, where some facilities remained. However, looking at the dilapidated state, it had clearly not been maintained for a long time.

Patheia descended from the sky onto the beach, her wings quickly folded and hanging on her back. She hesitated for a moment before walking over to Ji Chen.

“We used to trade with the Ocean Pixies on this small island. However, since they failed to show up for the scheduled trade two years ago, they haven’t appeared on the sea’s surface, and our two races lost contact. If you want to…”

Suddenly, a strange roar echoed from the island, followed by magical beasts shrouded in black mist emerging from the forest.

Patheia’s words were interrupted, and upon seeing the approaching magical beasts, she drew her longsword and shouted, “Deal with these corrupted creatures!”

Featherfolk Divine Archers quickly nocked their arrows and released a barrage that turned the first wave of magical beasts into sieves. Then, Featherfolk swordsmen, armed with longswords, swooped down from the sky, effortlessly severing the heads of the corrupted creatures with their razor-sharp blades.

After a few rounds of diving attacks, hundreds of attacking corrupted creatures didn’t even manage to touch the hem of their clothes before being reduced to lifeless bodies.

The entire battle was executed with grace, efficiency, and precision.

Seeing their fellow Featherfolk cleanly dispatch the enemies, Patheia seemed to regain some confidence, nodding in satisfaction.

Their Featherfolk tribe was indeed quite formidable..
