Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 171 This version is wrong.
The dark clouds slowly dispersed, and a sliver of moonlight shone on Chenqi's face.

"Wakuwaku (Help! Master!)"

The deep-sea spirits wailed in the ocean, as if a giant mountain was rising from the seabed and rushing towards the ship.

Storms, darkness, torrential rain, distortion, cement, raging fire...

In an instant, countless images flashed through Chen Qi's mind.

Sailors fighting each other over a dispute over loot; young men and women jumping into the sea to die for love because of the nobles' extortion; a young man setting his ship on fire out of fear of his father's punishment; a witch banished because she was parasitized by a sea monster...

It was all fragmented and horrifying scenes.

My brain, my brain is trembling!

Chen Qi clenched his right fist and punched himself hard in the chin.

When he came to his senses, a huge wave was already crashing towards him!
"Damn it!"

Chen Qi gripped the railing tightly, trying not to be swept away by the huge waves.

However, the moment the waves receded, countless bright red eyes appeared on his face.

boom!
With a loud bang, the ship was lifted up by the huge pillar-like monster and almost capsized on the sea!
"Wakuwaku! (Master)"

The terrified deep-sea spirit leaped out of the surging waves and pounced on Chen Qi, trembling incessantly like a shaking motor.

Amidst the massive waves, Chen Qi slowly raised his head and looked at the enormous creature that was rising continuously before him.

That enormous thing is rising steadily!

It was black, thick, and long...

Above that giant, pillar-shaped creature, which resembled a black tower, swirled an indescribable black mist, and within the mist were countless blood-red eyes!

Their density is like a nest of stacked peaks!

Its enormous size soars into the sky, making even the dominant species of the near seas appear like a weak ant in comparison.

Crunch!Crunch!
The sound, like a centipede writhing, echoed through the massive waves.

Those pairs of bright red eyes kept darting around, searching for prey in the sea.

The next second, its bright red eyes kept looking down, locking onto the giant ship, locking onto his body!
"Fuck me!"

Chen Qi's eyes widened like copper bells. He hadn't felt this way in a long time—this feeling of being as insignificant as an ant, this feeling of being treated like prey.

This version is wrong, isn't it?
Is this a monster that appeared in the near sea?

Most importantly, the monster in front of us is not a sea beast, but some kind of shadow-type creature!
Damn it... Chen Qi suddenly rushed into the cabin.

"Water Sprite One, Three, Four! Adjust the direction of the outer ship lights! Aim them at the guy in front of you!"
Number 5, Number 6, hold on to me!

Judging from its appearance, it is most likely some kind of shadow-type creature.

It is very likely that it is afraid of strong light, which is why it did not attack the ship immediately.

Maximum speed! And the brightest lights!
Chen Qi abruptly pressed the buttons for all the lights on the ship!

At the bow of the ship, a huge searchlight shone, dispelling the darkness before them.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Qi gripped the rudder tightly, turned the ship around, and drifted dramatically, aiming the searchlight at the enormous creature in the sea.

"Roar!"

The moment the searchlight was pointed at it, it sounded like the mournful cry of a crow echoing across the sea.

boom! boom! boom!
It suddenly dived back into the deep sea to escape the blinding light.

The waves and the wailing gradually faded away...

The turbulent sea slowly returned to silence.

"call……"

Still shaken, Chen Qi leaned against the control panel and let out a long breath.

What was that just now...? Chen Qi rubbed his throbbing temples, trying hard to recall what the strange thing looked like.

Mental pollution, coupled with enormous size and strange whispers...

The Pillar of the Abyss, one of the thirteen most terrifying legends of the Sea of ​​Rifts, is represented by the Shadow.

Legend has it that those with high spiritual insight will see visions of the past the moment they look directly into its eyes.

The higher one's inspiration level, the more and more realistic the illusions one sees.

These monsters specifically target highly inspired individuals!
Fortunately, although his inspiration was high, his profession endowed him with moderate mental resistance, which helped him withstand this mental attack.

Faced with the pillars of the deep sea, even military ships can only flee in terror.

Only a fourth-tier legendary hunter or a hunter group fully equipped with C-tier rift weapons is qualified to hunt this monster.

Why would a monster of this level appear in coastal waters?

What version is this exactly?
This is roughly equivalent to it just reaching level six and then trying to solo Baron Nashor! Is that even possible?

Chen Qi gently rubbed the timid water sprites No. 5 and No. 6, then looked up.

The moon, visible through the clouds, appeared only a faint pink.

The moon is still normal, it hasn't entered the "smiling moon" phase yet... Chen Qi thought to himself.

The second phase of the Rift Tide, also known as the Laughing Moon Phase, is characterized by the moon turning red at night, the appearance of numerous Shadow Demons, mutated sea beasts, and maddened crowds on the sea.

The Pillars of the Abyss are the second stage of the Rift Tide, which is why they are active in the Sea of ​​Rifts.

I never expected to encounter a monster of this level in the near seas...

why?
Could it be the result of the summoning ritual performed by the little crows? Or perhaps the deep-sea spirits smelled too good? Or maybe I'm just really unlucky?

Chen Qi looked at the trembling deep-sea spirit in his arms.

Deep-sea spirits possess powerful deep-sea elements, making them a rare and delicious beverage in the eyes of many sea monsters.

The current situation gave him no extra time to think. At that moment, another heavy, loud thud came from the bottom of the ship!
boom!
The Pillars of the Abyss are rising from the seabed once more!
Below 5,000 meters on the seabed lies a forbidden zone for humankind, a deathly hell comparable to the border.

Above 5,000 meters, the Deep Sea Pillars can move freely.

The darkness and the deep sea can be considered its domain.

"Aren't you going to let me off the hook yet? I clearly possess the charm of shadows..." Chen Qi gritted his teeth.

He possesses the allure of shadows, and logically speaking, he should still be considered somewhat attractive by the Pillar of the Abyss.

Why is the other party not responding at all?
Or should he dance for the Pillars of the Abyss?
The allure of shadow and the affinity of the deep sea are talents of completely different levels.

The faint allure of shadow only made the Pillar of the Abyss want to devour him even more!
Chen Qi focused intently on maneuvering the boat, quickly moving away from the sea in front of him.

At this moment, amidst the full roar of the engine, a few green flames appeared at the stern.

Chen Qi placed his hand on the ship's most important button—'Overload Mode'.

According to his experiments, in overload mode, the ship will transform into a ghost ship, becoming a ghostly fire ship on the sea!
However, the duration of overload mode is also extremely limited!
Modern houseboats, even in overload mode, can only maintain their extremely high speeds for a maximum of ten minutes!

Amidst the massive waves, the houseboat was like a lamb running at full speed, while behind it followed a huge, hungry wolf whose full form could not be seen!
"Wakuwaku! Wakuwaku!"

The deep-sea spirit trembled on Chen Qi's body, turning him into a rapidly vibrating little motor.

A tremendous wail echoed across the sea...

"We're about to be caught up..." Chen Qi took a deep breath and prepared to activate overload mode.

However, the next second, something unexpected happened.

Before his ship appeared a dilapidated merchant ship.

Before the dilapidated wreckage, an old man in a cloak slowly raised a lantern in his hand and then opened his arms.

He opened his arms, took a deep breath, and said:
"Praise the sun!"
