This sea lord is a bit strong

Chapter 166 7-Star Treasure, Mysterious Palace
Wow, golden legend, ah bah! 7 star treasure!
Generally speaking, treasures are divided into 1~7 stars, 7 stars are the most advanced existence under normal circumstances, and the higher ones are the legendary level.

This long sword is a 7-star treasure, already considered a top treasure.

Compared with the 6-star treasure Dragon Slaying Sword, the Holy Sword of War has more effects, and even has two skills.

One can wield sword energy, and the other can generate a golden shield.

In all fairness, these two skills made it ten times more difficult for Ji Chen to kill Sorin.

Without this holy sword of war, Ji Chen would actually fight much more easily.

And the last additional effect above caught Ji Chen's attention.

③Self-healing (when equipped, it can speed up the recovery of any injuries and weaken negative effects)
Can speed up recovery from any injury
So can it recover from broken limbs?

Ji Chen decided to try it right away, holding the Holy Sword of War tightly in his hand.

Only a few seconds later, I felt an itching sensation from the wound on my left arm, as if a thousand ants were crawling on it, touching the wound with their tentacles, gradually heating up.

Raising his arm to take a closer look, the wound that had already dried up had a trace of bright red granulation, and the pale bones also showed an active state.

Judging from this speed, it is estimated that it only takes a week for the broken left arm to fully grow back and return to its original state.

Seeing this, Ji Chen also breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew that there were treasures and potions that could restore broken limbs, he suddenly felt that he had lost an arm, which was also a little scary.

Holding the holy sword of war in his hand, Ji Chen searched on and around Sorin again, and soon found what he wanted.

A crystal clear, crystal-like red spar lay quietly under several white bones.

This is Thorin's heroic soul!
【Red Heroic Soul Essence】

[level]: special
[Effect]: It can immediately promote a hero with the potential of red inheritance level to red inheritance level.

The red heroic soul! !

Now it's ready!
This means that the crown of the ocean will have an extra hero of red heritage level!
I searched around and found the scabbard, but it was damaged and only half of it remained.

Obviously, this scabbard is not a treasure, it is just used to decorate the Holy Sword of War.

After confirming that only the Holy Sword of War and a red heroic soul erupted from Sorin's body, Ji Chen shook his head in disappointment.

He is obviously the owner of a secret realm, but he only has these two things on his body. I really don't know how this Skeleton King manages to be.

If he heard Ji Chen's complaints, Sorin would jump up from the ground angrily.

After complaining hard in his heart, Ji Chen waved his hand feebly and let the army start to clean the battlefield, looking for any valuable spoils.

Hours later, the rest of the battle loomed.

In addition to an intermediate skeleton lair, there are five blue heroic souls, twelve green heroic souls and 27 white heroic souls.

These heroic souls were all obtained from the skeleton commander under Sorin's command in this battle.

Don't let go, this number is not the same as the number of skeleton leaders seen before, and there are a few white ones missing, but they don't want to spend more time and energy to find them among the mountains of bones.

So far, plus the previous ones.

The heroic spirits in his hand are 37, eleven and five in white, green and blue respectively.

At this time, Anina came over, holding a green heroic soul essence in her hand.

Facing Ji Chen's slightly puzzled gaze, Anina said carelessly.

"This is led by the skeletons guarding this skeleton camp."

Hearing this, he just remembered that when killing the skeleton commander of this skeleton camp, he was interrupted by Sorin's sudden arrival and forgot to take it back.

With this one added, there should be twelve green heroic souls now.

After cleaning the battlefield, Ji Chen picked up the Holy Sword of War again, and with a thought, mana poured into it.

I saw the golden gem on the sword suddenly emitting light, and a map was projected in front of him, and a mark was suspended on the map.

Ji Chen stared at it, and quickly came to a conclusion in his mind.

The mark represents a place in this secret realm, and this place seems to be located in the depths of... the red desert?

Out of emotion and reason, Ji Chen felt that it was necessary for him to go to that place. After all, it was revealed from this seven-star treasure, and there might be unexpected gains.

Once the Skeleton King Sorin died, the most elite legion under his command became a wave of loess, and the remaining skeletons in the entire secret realm have been scattered. The only thing to worry about is those mutated skeletons.

Looking at the dark sky, Ji Chen decided to wait until dawn before setting off.

The next morning, as soon as Ji Chen woke up, he immediately checked the recovery of his left arm. The wound was like a new branch and leaf of a dead tree, and a section of white, delicate skin like a baby grew out, and it didn't look so ugly anymore.

The Champions of the Ocean team started to set off. After walking for several kilometers, they left the gray and rotting swamp and came to the red desert again.

Open the map again.

The place where the marker is located is located deep in the desert, quite a distance from the swamp, and the journey is quite long.

But fortunately, it's not too far from the gate of the secret realm, so you can explore it all on this trip, and then leave by the way.

After identifying the direction for a while, Ji Chen and the others headed towards the location marked on the map.

Two days later, at noon, a group of people came to an unremarkable desert, surrounded by undulating sand dunes, and there was nothing else worth noting.

Ji Chen looked at the map and rubbed his chin. After confirming that the sign was here, he said loudly.

"Scatter all, search this area!"

With an order, hundreds of Ocean Crown's troops dispersed in all directions, starting a carpet-like search.

Two hours later, troops searching the southeast discovered the anomaly.

This is a rock platform that was mostly buried by gravel, and there is a rectangular depression on the top of the stone platform.

Ji Chen thought for a while, and inserted the holy sword of war into the gap. The blade and the gap fit perfectly, perfectly.

Rumbling--

The ground trembled violently, and vortices appeared above the gravel, sucking in the surrounding gravel.

Ji Chen's face changed slightly, and he tried to pull out the holy sword of war, but it was as if it was stained with glue.

Not moving.

He had to call the army to leave the area temporarily.

Just as they evacuated to a safe area, the shaking of the ground reached its peak, like an earthquake, and countless gravel vortices appeared on the ground, like giant beasts turning their bodies underground.

Then, amidst the shock of everyone, spiers and temples emerged from the ground, and countless sand and gravel flowed down the sloping roofs and gaps, forming giant sand waterfalls, falling from the sky.

After half an hour, the surrounding movement gradually subsided.

In front of him, there was already a huge palace made of rock, and the spiers and palaces hundreds of meters high cast a large shadow.

Tall brown stone pillars stand on both sides, extending to the gate of the palace tens of meters high. The exquisite stone carvings, floating walls and sculptures carved on the stone pillars, gates and outer walls show the unusualness of this palace.

It's like a palace inhabited by giant titans.

Under this desert, there is such a magnificent building hidden?

With just one glance, Ji Chen knew that this had nothing to do with Skeleton King Sorin or the Skeleton Clan.

If he had the ability to build such a palace, how could he have such little strength! ?
"Don't be dazed, hurry up and take a look at this palace."

Ji Chen's voice woke up all the heroes, and when they saw that he had passed by, they hurriedly followed.

Walking on a road paved with rocks, the stone pillars on both sides are quite tall, and there are different hideous statues carved on them.
The only thing in common is that these statues are all chained, as if they were forcibly imprisoned here.

These statues include familiar races such as humans, dwarves, elves, orcs, and some less recognizable races, such as snake-tailed monsters with wings on their backs, hideous insects with hundreds of feet, and even thunderbolts. one-legged bovine.

It's nothing out of the ordinary at first glance.

Looking at the expressions on these statues, either unwilling, angry, desperate, or numb, Ji Chen was thoughtful.

A group of people came to the gate.

On the left side of the gate is the stone platform with the holy sword of war inserted, and the holy sword was pulled out with just a light pull.

Seeing this, Ji Chen became even more interested.

What kind of handwriting is it to use a 7-star treasure as the opening token of this palace?
Doesn't this mean that there may be something more precious inside?
In this magnificent creation, there may be some huge surprises that he did not expect.

However, how to open the tens of meters high door that looks like an ant standing in front of it?
crunch--

Just as Ji Chen looked up and thought.

The door suddenly opened slowly by itself, and the inside was pitch black.

Logically speaking, since the holy sword of war is a key, there should be no danger to the person who opens it with the key.

Moreover, Sorin was the previous holder of the Holy Sword of War, so there was no reason not to know the existence of this palace. Since it could survive until a few days ago, there should be no problem.

After figuring it out, Ji Chen immediately felt relieved, and walked in with the army.

When all the troops walked in, the door at the back closed automatically, as if the space was cut off, the whistling wind outside disappeared without a trace, and the surrounding fell into a silence, so quiet that only the sound of my own breathing could be heard.

When Ji Chen was thinking about taking out some torches for lighting, a large piece of light suddenly appeared around, illuminating the place like daytime.

This is a rotunda that occupies a rather wide area, surrounded by tall ring-shaped walls, with colorful pictures depicted on it, and a circular dome that is hundreds of meters high at the top, reflecting a vast expanse of stars.

Ji Chen looked at these colorful pictures for a while before he understood what kind of palace it was.

This is a prison!
A prison for detaining strong men of all races!

This is in line with the stone pillars outside. The statues of various races on the stone pillars outside are locked by chains. Doesn't that mean they are imprisoned?
As soon as this conclusion came out, Ji Chen was a little shocked.

Such a magnificent palace actually exists as a prison.

At this time, he had a doubt in his heart, who was the one who built this prison?
But the picture in the hall did not reveal the information of the prison owner, so he had to temporarily suppress this question and look around.

There is only one passage connecting this hall.

Ji Chen didn't stop there either, and led everyone into the passage.

It is said to be a passage, but it is also tens of meters high and tens of meters wide, as if it was made to walk by some giant.

After walking in the passage for a while, Ji Chen frowned, seeing that the end was not yet reached, raised his hand to stop the army, and turned around to ask about some heroes.

"How far have we traveled in this passage?"

"Report, sir, we have already walked three or four kilometers."

Seven or eight kilometers?

Ji Chen's frown deepened.

Although this palace is very grand and huge, it is not as long as seven or eight kilometers.

Is this similar to the tower of the old land of the gods on King Kong Island?
In fact, after they entered the hall just now, they had already entered another space, so they couldn't use the appearance to judge the size of the space inside.

It is possible that the inside is just a normal size, but it may also be dozens of times, or even a hundred times larger than the outside.

The person who built this prison obviously also possessed the strength as vast as the stars.

Continue to move forward in the passage, and come to the end of this passage after more than ten minutes.

This is a more majestic and huge space than the previous hall, with a dome of stars hundreds of meters high.

When Ji Chen's gaze shifted to the space, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his heart beat wildly.

The scene in front of them stunned everyone.

In this space, close to the wall, there are hundreds of birdcage-like metal cages, some are large and some are small, some are as high as a hundred meters, connecting the sky and the earth, while others are only a few meters high.

Inside the metal cage, dozens of "prisoners" were held.

Ji Chen was even more shocked when he saw these prisoners clearly.

Aren't these the races of the statues outside?
Humans, dwarves, elves, orcs.
Winged snake-tailed monster
There are hundreds of ferocious insects with feet.
A one-legged bovine creature with lightning on its feet.
Some were just normal size, but some were as huge as a hill and as long as a canyon.

For example, that ferocious insect looks like a scorpion, but with densely packed long legs covering all four directions of its body, its body length is over a hundred meters.

For example, the one-legged bovine creature with lightning flashing unconsciously, its one leg is like a supporting mountain in the sky, firmly supporting the hill-like body, it is also the largest among these "prisoners".

Hold the grass!

Is this actually true?

Is there really such a weird race in this world?
Perhaps aware of their existence, two "prisoners" in the cage slowly opened their eyes that had been sleeping for an unknown amount of time.

When seeing Ji Chen and the others, he also fell into a daze.

But soon, a look of ecstasy flashed across their faces.

It was a look that could be saved, be free, and see hope.
