Following this,
Lu Chen lightly flipped his right hand,
and a command flag shimmering with strange light appeared in his palm.
【Fleet Command Flag (Special Item) - Holding this flag allows you to create a unique faction】
Lu Chen gazed at the command flag, his eyes burning like torches,
One must know,
the first faction created using a command flag on Blue Star would receive a terrifying 200 attribute point bonus,
and as the fleet leader,
his bonus would be doubled,
400 attribute points,
This made even the usually composed Lu Chen feel a surge of desire.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Chen resolutely decided to activate the command flag, so as not to miss the perfect opportunity to be the first.
【Ding, Fleet Command Flag activated, please select your faction's development direction:】
【1. Sea Area Lord - Immediately possess an exclusive territory and enjoy resource benefits - Territory Resources +5%, faction upgrades can expand territory and benefit ratio. This path focuses on defense and construction.】
【2. Sea The plundering thief - Initially without a fixed territory, grow stronger by plundering resources from others, possess plundering benefits - Plundered Resources +5%, faction upgrades unlock special ships and higher plundering bonuses. This path focuses on attack and plunder.】
Facing two completely different paths, Lu Chen's brow slightly raised,
He quickly analyzed:
One, cultivate deeply and defend a single area;
One, roam the seas in a guerrilla style, using war to sustain war.
One, manage steadily and build an empire;
One, amidst the clash of swords and blades, seek victory in peril.
Defend, or attack,
The choice is now.
Although the allure of being a Sea Area Lord was considerable,
possessing a territory that could be slowly sculpted was the dream of many,
But this went against Lu Chen's original intention.
What he yearned for was freedom, unbound exploration and conquest.
Therefore,
Lu Chen resolutely leaned towards the second path - Sea The plundering thief,
That was a journey of freedom and unrestrained will.
【Ding, you have successfully selected the faction development direction as - Sea The plundering thief】
【Ding, faction is being created... (Remaining time: 59 minutes)】
Hmm?
Creating a faction requires waiting?
Lu Chen shook his head,
Forget it,
There's no rush for this moment,
While there's an hour, let's clean up the battlefield first,
"Jack."
"Captain, I've already prepared everything for you!"
Jack grinned, pointing to the right,
"Look!"
Within sight were mountains of beast corpses,
Vantoros, the Shadow Nightmare Beast King, eight Shadow Nightmare Beasts, and the previous Silverfeather Great Falcon were all present.
"Little dumpling, you can come out now."
Lu Chen nodded, lightly patted his backpack, his tone full of affection.
"Guji!"
Hearing that it could come out, Little dumpling darted out of the backpack in a flash,
Rubbing against Lu Chen's face non-stop,
The little guy had been cooped up for quite a while during this time.
This trip to the Seal Altar,
Little dumpling also directly leveled up to level 5, extremely excited.
"Haha,"
Lu Chen laughed, "Alright, let's handle the main task first, absorb these corpses, then play."
"Guji~"
Little dumpling responded cheerfully, then its tentacles suddenly extended, resting on the pile of corpses.
The pile of corpses immediately withered and shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye,
Gradually losing all their essence.
"Oh~, Captain, look Little dumpling has changed! Its tentacles can extend!" Jack exclaimed in surprise.
He had thought that this little guy wouldn't grow no matter how much life energy it ate!
"Indeed,"
Lu Chen watched Little dumpling, his eyes full of relief and affection,
"It seems that after leveling up, Little dumpling has grown a bit."
It seems Little dumpling didn't fail to grow, but rather could freely control its size.
It's truly exciting to anticipate what Little dumpling will look like after leaving its infant stage.
【Ding! Successfully absorbed Gluttonous Overlord.Vantoros (Tier 12)】
【You obtained B-grade talent - Steel Bone, Constitution increased by 18 points】
【Ding! Successfully absorbed Shadow Nightmare Beast King (Tier 14)】
【You obtained C-grade talent - Shadow Fusion, Strength increased by 18 points】
【Ding! Successfully absorbed Shadow Nightmare Beast*8 (Tier 9)】
【You obtained C-grade talent - Shadow Fusion*8, Strength increased by 13*8 points】
【Ding! Successfully absorbed Silverfeather Great Falcon (Tier 8), Agility increased by 12 points】
Along with the numerous heaven's oracle prompts sounding,
Lu Chen once again obtained,
122 points of Strength, 18 points of Constitution, 12 points of Agility,
as well as the B-grade Steel Bone, and C-grade Shadow Fusion talent*9,
【Ding, detected that your C-grade talent - Shadow Fusion, has met the evolution conditions】
【Currently evolving...】
【Evolution complete, Shadow Fusion (C-grade), successfully evolved to B-grade talent - Shadow Walker (35%)】
Feeling the surging energy within his body,
Lu Chen's face was full of joy,
This absorption not only granted him a large amount of attribute points,
but also gave him two B-grade talents,
As of now,
He held seven B-grade talents that were considered unreachable in the eyes of ordinary people.
"Very good, the battlefield has been cleared, it's time to return near the United Sea Area."
Lu Chen decisively opened the heaven's oracle panel,
Selected to teleport near the United Sea Area.
However, there was no response.
Seeing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but frown,
Hmm?
What's going on?
Why can't I teleport?
【Ding, affected by unknown power interference, the teleportation function is temporarily disabled.】
"Captain, what do we do? Time is tight!"
Jack's face changed drastically when he heard the heaven's oracle prompt.
What kind of joke is this,
There's less than half an hour until the survival gamble starts,
And now you're telling me teleportation is disabled,
Are you kidding me!
If we can't teleport,
By the time we sail back to the United Sea Area from here, it'll be too late.
"The Storm Wing Clan has already rushed over, no need to worry about the survival gamble,"
Lu Chen scanned his surroundings, his gaze sharp,
"I'm more curious about who exactly can interfere with heaven's oracle's teleportation."
At this moment, Jack was staring blankly at the giant tentacle statue in front of him,
Rubbed his eyes, and said hesitantly: "Captain, I... I think I just saw this big tentacle move."
Then Jack shrugged, thinking he had seen things,
"Must have seen wrong, how can a statue move?"
Like a joke,
If such a large statue could move, that would be something else.
However,
As soon as Jack's words fell,
As if in direct refutation of his statement,
The towering tentacle statue suddenly erupted with a deafening roar,
"Rumble——!"
Immediately after, the entire giant tentacle statue began to vibrate violently,
As if a sleeping giant beast had been awakened, slowly stretching its body.
Along with the vibration,
Large amounts of shattered rock peeled off from the statue's tentacles like a torrential downpour,
Mixed with the roaring sound, pouring down from the sky,
Slamming onto the ground, kicking up dust,
Even smaller gravel were scattered in all directions by the impact,
The scene was extremely shocking, like the end of the world had arrived.
"Wo... Wo Cao"
Jack was dumbfounded, his previous words stuck in his throat,
It really F**king came alive?!!
