But Ji Chen suddenly thought, if Benbo really evolves into a dragon in the end, then wouldn’t he be able to ride a dragon?

Although he wouldn’t be a proper Dragon Knight, it wouldn’t stop him from showing off while riding one.

Benbo suddenly felt a chill all over its body and looked around in confusion.

A sense of being watched crossed its mind, but soon, Benbo’s joy overcame any lingering doubt.

The transformation not only bestowed upon it immense power but, more importantly, provided an opportunity for a significant breakthrough. This was an achievement that eluded its grasp no matter how hard it tried.

The lowly Murloc race, born from the mud, had lofty ideals of transforming into dragons.

Even after countless ages, this ideal was still deeply ingrained in their genes, inspiring countless Murlocs to strive for it.

A Murloc that didn’t want to become a dragon was not a good Murloc!

Ji Chen looked around. He had already obtained several rewards from the trials, so naturally, there was no reason for him to stay here any longer.

With a wave of his hand, he led his entire army back through the floating passage, returning to the Waterwave Gate.

Looking back at the still starry sky, he left without hesitation.

In a flash of white light, he returned to the stone bridge.

After all the soldiers came out of the gate one by one.

The Waterwave Gate slowly disappeared, revealing the wall behind it.

Perhaps the tower’s trial had been completed, and the rewards had been taken, so it had lost its purpose.

But it was also possible that it was temporarily sealed and would reopen at some point in the future, waiting for the next challenger.

But Ji Chen no longer cared about these things. He was in a great mood at the moment.

He had gained so many benefits from the trials, making this trip worthwhile!

With a big wave of his hand, he took the two Dragon Blood Murlocs who had been guarding outside and led the group to leave along the stone bridge.

When they reached the middle of the bridge, the lakes on both sides suddenly began to ripple.

With a series of muffled explosions, water splashed into the sky on both sides of the bridge, and the stone bridge shook violently.

Was the stone bridge going to collapse?

Ji Chen’s face changed slightly as he maintained his balance, naturally gathering his mana and preparing for a plunge into the water.

Crack!

Cracks appeared on the bridge surface in front, and with the intense shaking, the cracks quickly spread in all directions like a spiderweb, covering the entire front end of the bridge.

Boom boom boom!

The bridge pillars started to collapse, and the bridge deck began to collapse layer by layer, falling into the water piece by piece.

Once the trembling ceased, the bridge surface ahead and the section connecting to the shore had vanished, plummeting entirely into the depths of the lake.

Perhaps the collapse had alarmed the existence beneath the lake’s surface, and the water in the lake surged again, with thousands of Ocean Guardians appearing on the water’s surface.

At this moment, a large group of units appeared on the opposite shore, and three players walked out among them.

Ji Chen narrowed his eyes and seemed to realize something.

These three people were none other than Sima Chuxi and his two lackeys. At this moment, they looked at their masterpiece with smug expressions on their faces.

Yesterday, they waited for this unfamiliar player to enter the tower and secretly sent out their troops to install explosives at the bridge piers. They intended to blow up the stone bridge after he came out and alarm the Ocean Guardians in the lake, making it impossible for him to leave.

When he saw the player trapped and helpless, Sima Chuxi felt even more delighted.

What if he had a purple-rare-tier hero?

He could only wait there obediently for death.

And the treasures obtained from the tower would eventually fall into his hands!

By then, with those treasures, he would truly dominate the entire King Kong Island!

“Boss, you’re brilliant! You’re currently the most powerful player on King Kong Island!”

“That player is done for now. The divine treasures will end up in the hands of our guild leader!”

Listening to his lackeys’ flattery, Sima Chuxi became even more proud.

Standing on the shore, facing Ji Chen on the broken bridge, he slowly raised his right hand to his neck and smirked.

Ji Chen looked at Sima Chuxi provokingly and a strange expression appeared on his face.

He also understood that these three little brats must have been luring monsters to obstruct him all along, trying to prevent him from entering the tower.

Afterward, when they couldn’t stop him from entering, they changed their plans and waited for him to come out, then blew up the stone bridge and alarmed the Ocean Guardians in the lake, making it impossible for him to leave.

He thought for a moment and had to admit that the plan was quite thorough.

After the stone bridge collapsed, if he wanted to leave, he had to go into the water, but the water was filled with so many Ocean Guardians.

According to the general theory, unless he could fly, the chance of escaping was almost zero.

But nobody knew what he had obtained from the trials…

Ji Chen smiled.

He took out the Control Core from his backpack and began to communicate with it using his mental power.

The Control Core acted like a signal amplifier, transmitting his mental power in all directions.

In an instant, all the Ocean Guardians in the lake were connected to him.

With a single thought, he controlled all the Ocean Guardians, making them follow his every command.

They were no longer in chaos.

They swam from all directions and floated on the water’s surface below the broken bridge, forming a bridge-like structure, resembling a human centipede..
