Chapter 339 - 336: Melee
Black Water Island’s location is in the eastern part of the Demon Clan’s territory, fifty thousand miles southeast of Sky Demon Mountain, where a chaotic resource-rich sea area lies. It is also the place where Sky Demon Mountain and Sea God Palace fiercely contend for control, with endless conflicts.
Black Water Island, due to its abundance of an excellent Artifact Refining material—the Black Water Ore—has attracted the attention of these two powerful forces. Currently, the island is under the control of Sky Demon Mountain, but it was only taken over two years ago. It’s hard to say how much longer the island will remain in their hands.
Recently, the forces from Sea God Palace have continually launched offenses against Black Water Island. Based on the latest intelligence, it seems that Sea God Palace is gearing up for significant actions. Therefore, Sky Demon Mountain has also responded, issuing corresponding missions and summoning its experts to defend Black Water Island.
The missions for Black Water Island are of varying degrees, with the highest being Gold Level, as well as Silver Level and Bronze Level, differentiating only in the information provided. Although the objectives are all to defend Black Water Island, the goals differ. For example, the Gold Level mission Ye Xuan accepted targets the enemy’s commander, whereas Silver and Bronze Level missions certainly would not be of this difficulty and would target enemies of much lesser strength.
Ye Xuan rode the Bloodwing Dragon, and after five continuous days of travel, finally arrived at Black Water Island.
On Black Water Island, thick smoke billowed, and the "clank clank" sound of metalworking echoed continuously. Occasionally, dazzling rays of light shot up into the sky from the island.
At this moment, Black Water Island had already gathered numerous figures, heavily guarded. On the outskirts, high walls had been erected, and patrolling masters could be seen from afar.
Descending upon Black Water Island, Ye Xuan quickly heard the rising buzz of conversation.
"I hear Sea God Palace is preparing a major plan, coming on strong. A great battle will likely erupt on Black Water Island soon."
"Yes, to face this crisis, quite a number of forces have been pulled from nearby islands for defense. But even so, Black Water Island’s defenses still seem a bit thin."
"No need to panic, arrangements have already been made. I heard a Gold Level mission has been released to summon powerful experts for reinforcement. There’s no need to worry."
