Chapter 217: Easily Resolved
"Get closer; don’t let a single one escape."
Yi Chen didn’t act immediately but instead notified Bai Ruo Xin to control all the tribe members of the Sea Breeze Tribe within his divine consciousness coverage.
Bai Ruo Xin quickly maneuvered the flying treasure forward, signaling the four armies behind to follow.
The stone house soon surpassed the swamp crocodile.
The distance continued to close in.
One thousand six hundred meters, one thousand five hundred meters, one thousand four hundred meters…
Yi Chen expanded his divine consciousness.
Every detail within a two-kilometer radius, including underwater, fell within his divine consciousness monitoring range.
As the stone house came within about one thousand kilometers of the Sea Breeze Tribe’s group, he could essentially confirm that the tribe members had not stationed anyone around to relay messages.
There were also no tribe members hiding in the water.
The entire group consisted of fifty-six Sea Breeze Tribe members.
As for the fierce beasts, there were just over a hundred, but the exact number was unclear.
Since Yi Chen’s divine consciousness coverage was only two kilometers, he couldn’t fully reach the conditions deep underwater.
Another important reason was that the fifty-six Sea Breeze Tribe members’ headbands contained a total of one hundred sixty yellow spirit mines.
This indicated that the number of controlled fierce beasts could also potentially reach one hundred sixty.
Unlike the previous scouts, the average number of spirit mines in the headbands of these fifty-six Sea Breeze Tribe members was around three.
However, the size of the spirit mines was much larger than those in the headbands of the first two scouts Yi Chen encountered.
The largest one was as big as a glass bead.
Many others were only slightly smaller.
The fierce beasts that were exposed exuded an incredibly strong aura.
Among the hundred or so marine fierce beasts, over twenty had an aura that rivaled or even surpassed that of the swamp crocodile.
Confident that he could capture them all in one sweep, Yi Chen sprang into action.
Before the Sea Breeze Tribe members could realize the presence of the stone house and the swamp crocodile, he locked onto them with his divine consciousness.
The next second, they were terrified to see their headbands suddenly fly away.
They all soared off into the distance.
"What’s happening?"
"Oh no, the headbands suddenly flew away!"
"Retreat, hurry and retreat! The enemy must be behind this."
"We can’t retreat; the Blue Sharks won’t listen to orders at all."
The fifty-six Sea Breeze Tribe members watched in horror as the headbands flew farther and farther away until they vanished from sight, leaving them anxious and in disarray.
Without their headbands, they couldn’t control the remaining Blue Sharks or those powerful fierce beasts at all.
“Quick, swim back and inform the tribe leader that the enemy has a special way to steal our headbands.”
“If the enemy learns how to use the headbands, our Sea Breeze Tribe will be doomed. They can fully control those fierce beasts and turn them against us.”
The team leader was the first to snap back to reality. He suddenly leaped into the ocean, trying to swim back to the island.
But clearly, they were overestimating themselves.
Yi Chen, having to control the fifty-six headbands, felt a bit strained but didn’t pay them any mind.
He let them jump into the ocean.
No matter how fast they tried to escape, they were just a group of ordinary people and wouldn’t be able to get far.
There was no rush.
Soon, all fifty-six headbands gathered in his hands.
He immediately used his divine consciousness to send thoughts to the yellow spirit mines within those headbands.
In an instant, all fierce beasts controlled by the Sea Breeze Tribe gathered together.
As he expected, even powerful fierce beasts continued to emerge from the depths of the ocean, joining the gathering.
In total, there were exactly one hundred sixty fierce beasts.
The strongest among them had an aura much more powerful than the swamp crocodile.
Based on Yi Chen’s estimation, if a battle broke out, he would only have about a seventy to eighty percent chance of winning.
If he included the other marine fierce beasts with even stronger auras than the swamp crocodile, he might not be able to prevail.
This was only part of the powerful fierce beasts controlled by the Sea Breeze Tribe.
If he hadn’t found the Sea Breeze Tribe’s fatal weakness, Yi Chen felt he would still need to break through to the Stage of Separation and reach a higher major realm to have absolute confidence in defeating all the powerful fierce beasts controlled by the Sea Breeze Tribe with one blow.
But defeating them was one thing, and conquering them was another.
The Sea Breeze Tribe wouldn’t be foolish enough to gather all the powerful fierce beasts together for him to kill.
Just by breaking them into smaller groups, the Flame Mountain Tribe would face significant trouble.
If it came to that, conquering the entire Sea Breeze Tribe would undoubtedly take several years.
This was also why Yi Chen didn’t plan to let any of them escape.
He was concerned that the Sea Breeze Tribe might discover their weakness and break into smaller groups, spreading across various islands.
Given the intensity and coverage of the divine consciousness of the top geniuses from the Flame Mountain Tribe, even if they knew about the Sea Breeze Tribe’s weakness, it would still be difficult to conquer the entire Sea Breeze Tribe in a short time.
“Notify the four armies to control those Sea Breeze Tribe members.”
After exchanging greetings with Bai Ruo Xin, Yi Chen locked onto those Sea Breeze Tribe members attempting to swim back to the island with his divine consciousness.
The next second, these Sea Breeze Tribe members, as agile as fish in the ocean, suddenly realized in terror that their bodies seemed to be bound by a mysterious force, rendering them completely unable to move.
They struggled with all their might, but it was of no use.
The soldiers of the four armies quickly advanced.
One group was responsible for taking over the headbands controlled by Yi Chen, using them to control the powerful fierce beasts and leave according to the planned strategy.
Another group captured all the Sea Breeze Tribe members who had jumped into the sea and handed them over to the rear backup troops.
The backup troops then transferred them to the logistics team.
The swamp crocodile, receiving the order, continued to move forward.
The stone house followed about three hundred meters behind the swamp crocodile, using it as the vanguard to create a misunderstanding for the Sea Breeze Tribe, making them think it was just a single powerful fierce beast invasion.
Behind, the four armies and backup troops followed in an orderly fashion.
The Sea Breeze Tribe obviously had only two defensive lines.
One was the scouts located about one hundred kilometers away.
The other was a team around fifty kilometers in distance.
After Yi Chen easily dealt with them, it wasn’t until the swamp crocodile was only five to six kilometers from the island that a large number of Sea Breeze Tribe members and marine fierce beasts appeared.
Nearby, Sea Breeze Tribe members constantly arrived, controlling the marine fierce beasts.
“Notify the troops at the back to advance at full speed and prepare to capture the island as quickly as possible.”
From a distance, they could already see the outline of the island. Yi Chen immediately decided to speed up and reach the island before the Sea Breeze Tribe members surrounded them.
On the island, there were few powerful fierce beasts, and with the strength of the four armies and backup troops, they could easily take control of the entire Sea Breeze Tribe.
As long as they controlled all the Sea Breeze Tribe members, the overall situation would be settled.
Even if a few lucky ones escaped with strong marine fierce beasts to other islands, they wouldn’t be able to stir up much trouble and couldn’t stop the Flame Mountain Tribe from quickly seizing all the islands with overwhelming force.
This was also why Yi Chen did not adopt a surrounding strategy.
No matter how many marine fierce beasts the Sea Breeze Tribe controlled, the Flame Mountain Tribe’s army only needed to quickly enter the island and subdue most of the Sea Breeze Tribe members in order to secure victory.
When the rear army accelerated to catch up,
Bai Ruo Xin also increased the flying speed of the stone house.
Yi Chen used the same method.
First, he used his divine consciousness to remove the headbands from all Sea Breeze Tribe members within the range of his divine consciousness.
Then, through these headbands, he controlled the marine fierce beasts to gather and remain still.
The soldiers of the four armies rushed forward, capturing all the Sea Breeze Tribe members without difficulty.
