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

Chapter 176 Come on, let's have some fun!
"What a coincidence."

The little crow in the white cloak, who had finally mustered the courage to interrupt, spoke even softer.

A few questions instantly arose in her little head.

What was the meaning of that whisper just now? What is this special being? Could it be that the white cloak is carrying a special item?
She struggled to lift her head:
"White cloak, what does that mean?"

It wasn't a giant wave that had just risen, but rather a prophecy of some ancient species.

Despite being a deep-sea enthusiast, she was completely unable to comprehend the prophecy of the deep-sea species.

Anger towards humanity? An attempt to stir up chaos in the world? Or perhaps, a ban on setting foot in their current territory.

The interpretation of these whispers will determine their subsequent actions.

The white cloak stretched into the distance, as if everything that had happened up to this point was within his expectations.

He turned his head and asked:

"Little Captain, what do you think?"

Chen Qi felt a chill run down his spine as he gazed at the distant mountains.

Amidst the buzzing in his head, he roughly understood the terrifying meaning behind the whispers.

This ancient whisper conveys a darkness, a loneliness, a madness, and an endless longing for love that have been nurtured over the long course of time.

simply put:
Come on! Let's have some fun, we have plenty of time anyway~

Is this thing lonely? Is it inviting him over to play?

As Chen Qi gazed at the enormous, fossil-like mountain range in the distance, his body involuntarily trembled.

Although sometimes, being physically unattractive can be cute.

But clearly, the size difference is too great; if he plays against the other, the other will probably kill him.

This isn't the dragon asking him for a hug anymore, it's Godzilla asking him for a hug!

If this thing breaks the seal and descends into this world, it'll probably fly towards him in the next second!
Happy? More like dying...

We'll have to keep our distance then... Chen Qi organized his thoughts:

“In fact, we were not seriously harmed, so I think it is an ancient and special invitation.”

The white-cloaked man paused for a moment:
“An invitation? You’re only half right. Rather than an invitation, it should be called a command, a promise. When we reach the summit and complete this final ceremony, we will receive His blessing.”

Immediately afterwards, the man in the white cloak patted Chen Qi on the back:

“Your inspiration is good. If it were someone else, they would probably take that whisper as anger.”

No, I really find it hard to interpret this language as anger... Chen Qi looked silently into the distance and began to think about his next plan.

"Black blood, black blood, black blood, more black blood is needed to stain this long robe—"

Meanwhile, on the gloomy island, some corrupt villagers noticed Chen Qi's ship.

They—no, it should be said that they were—carrying rusty shovels, kept approaching Chen Qi.

In rare cases, 'humans' may be found in the rifts, but unless it is a B-rank rift, these humans are not real. They are often mutated monsters or other 'superhumans' in disguise.

For example, Jin Li, the second-in-command of the Ice Demon Pirate Gang, often appears in the Rift as an NPC due to her profession of "traveling merchant" and tries to sell the Silver Scale Breastplate, which costs 50,000 coins, to the participants of the Rift.

These villagers are not human, but monsters driven by some kind of twisted obsession.

boom!
The villagers' bodies were twisted and rotting, and the weapons they held were all filthy substances formed from congealed blood.

Even a second-tier transcendent being can become a twisted monster by being tainted by a single drop of filthy blood.

Chen Qi frowned and took a step back, even though the Flower Witch's potion could counteract these poisons.

These venoms will still cause irreparable damage to his body.

It's important to understand that he's currently just a second-tier superhuman in his developmental stage, and he must avoid these irreversible damages to his body as much as possible.

Moreover, these villagers will prioritize attacking units that are being mocked!
Bang!

In the next instant, a hundred twisted villagers, limbs on the ground, rushed toward him at an extremely fast speed, like crawling spiders.

The white-cloaked figure gently extended a finger:

"Knight, kill these madmen."

Then, ten triangular-helmeted knights under his command drew their black lances and charged off the ship, launching a swift attack! Thump, thump, thump!

Almost instantly, the spear pierced through the villagers' heads and hearts!
The villagers' heads exploded instantly, and red and black matter quickly splattered all over the ground.

"Cleanup complete, sir."

The lead knight in the triangular helmet straightened his body and shook the black blood off his spear.

The white-cloaked figure spoke with a hint of agreement:
"As expected of a unit modeled after sewer cleaners, you can handle any filth and poison with ease."

The janitor of the sewer, the ditch? Why does it sound somewhat familiar, yet somewhat strange... Chen Qi pondered for a moment.

He remembered that the sewer was another name for the underground world of the new Sun World.

In the Age of No Light, the surface was more dangerous than the underground, so humans created a large number of underground shelters, eventually forming a special underground world.

As day breaks, the underground world becomes a relic of history, no longer needed by humankind.

Today, these shelters are the refuge of all kinds of people who cannot survive on the surface. Because they are inhabited by a large number of dark and twisted people, these once noble shelters have also acquired the name of sewers.

Although it is not one of the six major sectors, its scale is comparable to that of the six major sectors.

"For this crack, we've hired a cleaner who's specifically designed to control corrupt people..." Chen Qi thought to himself.

If it were anyone else, they would be plunged into a bitter struggle because of the filth and poison of the corrupt people.

It can be said that the Triangular Helmet Knight's ability to resist filth directly downgraded this C-rank rift to a D-rank rift.

The lantern, capable of withstanding the pillars of the abyss, is paired with the triangular-helmeted knights specifically designed to fight the villagers.

Has the white-cloaked man been to this rift before? Or does he know something about this rift?
Wait, why is the distortion of this crack so high?
Chen Qi instantly figured out the answer.

The Sea God Pirate Crew has challenged this rift many times, but has failed each time!
Now, after the rift opened, they have found the White Cloak again to accomplish this task.

Chen Qi winked at the little crow.

But the little crow tilted its head, seemingly unaware of the matter.

Before the final boss arrives, I must remain vigilant... Chen Qi suddenly felt like he was playing Werewolf.

The man in the white cloak walked to the side of the boat and lowered the ladder:
"Even a C-order crack with high distortion is as simple as standing a coin upright, as long as we are well prepared. The only difficulty we need to face is responding to the whispers of the ancient beings and awakening their arrival."

With a serious expression, he stepped onto the island, which was filled with an atmosphere of deathly silence.

The triangular-helmeted knights were in front, and they were following behind.

Chenqi and the little crow were the last to arrive.

The little crow turned her head to the side, wanting to say something to Chen Qi, but remained calm and didn't speak.

The triangular-helmeted knight relentlessly hunts down the corrupt.

Unbeknownst to them, the sky grew increasingly dark, and the number of corpses increased; they had reached the depths of the island.

A distorted altar had appeared at the edge of their vision, on that high mountain peak.

Runes constructed of mercury and blood, piles of withered bones, and twisted, writhing black blood clots.

"Finally, as long as we continue along the mountain path and gather all the materials, then..."

The man in the white cloak excitedly moved forward, but the next second, he couldn't help but stop.

crunch...

Chen Qi looked down at his feet.

It was a shriveled corpse, not yet decomposed, and still dressed in a nun's robes.

In addition, there are a large number of Poseidon Pirate Crew outfits.

Many people died in this place, and judging from their skeletons, many of them were powerful third-tier superhumans.

The white dove senses the dawn.

Before them stood a phantom barrier of spiritual energy, a barrier that had existed for hundreds of years!

The man in the white cloak stepped forward and gently stroked the barrier.
"After four failures by the Sea God Pirates, we have finally arrived here. Next, as long as we break the seal set by the Ice Witch, we will welcome a new god."

As he spoke, the man in the white cloak turned around and grinned at Chen Qi and the little crow.
