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

Chapter 210 Welcome back!

A mission? What mission?
The guard captain looked puzzled.

Chen Qi looked around and found that the guards were all far away from him.

They'll listen to me, won't they...? Chen said in a commanding tone:
"Give me a map of the brewery. Don't move around here. I'll be back."

"Okay, okay..."

The guard captain looked puzzled, but he suppressed his curiosity.

If his salary were a little higher, he might have mustered the courage to question this mysterious official!
But now, his position doesn't even give him the right to question!

That's so simple...

Chen Qi took the map with both hands, took out the black knife wrapped in bandages, and walked towards the winery's warehouse.

Right now, there are more than a dozen porters in the warehouse, working hard to move barrels of wine.

According to the information provided by the client, the people wearing black gloves are likely porters here.

An elderly porter saw the knife at Chen Qi's waist, his face instantly showing distress, and he stepped back.

"Sir, sir, didn't you say you would never use us as experiments..."

Recently, a large number of miners have gone missing in many factories in the black mining city, causing widespread panic.

"Don't worry, everyone, I'm just here to find some shadows."

Looking at the many busy movers, Chen Qi couldn't help but frown.

White dove senses!

As he activated his perception skill, the spiritual energy fields on everyone's bodies gradually emerged. However, to his surprise, the vast majority of people only had a very thin layer of spiritual energy field.

Was the intelligence incorrect? Or is my perception just weak?
Unable to identify... Chen Qi gripped the black knife in his hand tightly.

Aside from the shadowy criminals tracking him, can the Black Gloves conceal their own spiritual energy fields?
Although he has a higher level of inspiration, his sensory skills are relatively ordinary.

We need to try a different approach… Chen Qi gripped the black knife tightly in his leather gloves and stepped into the crowd.

The people under Black Glove's command are probably all shadows...

He possesses an affinity with shadows; perhaps he can uncover some clues.

When he walked up to a porter who was 1.9 meters tall, he vaguely sensed the presence of a shadow.

"Found one."

Chen Qi turned his head and said casually.

In that instant, the sound of bones breaking began to tear at the heart.

"Damn it! Where did you come from?!"

The shadow of the porter beside him began to twist, as if pulled by an invisible force, gradually breaking free from the ground's restraints, turning into a dark, ever-flowing shadow, and then, like a twisted liquid, forming a strange black fur armor!

A monster covered in black fur swung its fist, as big as an iron pot, at him with all its might!
Burst forth! Upward slash!

Chen Qi drew his black sword and slashed upwards, cutting the shadow in half at the waist.

Amidst the spilled black blood... Chen Qi silently slashed backward once more, defeating the shadow monster behind him.

Then, shadows began to appear on the bodies of the other three people as well.

They ran while shouting:
"The Black Gloves won't let you go, the Black Whale won't..."

cut!
Chen Qi didn't give them time to speak. He strode forward and cut down the three monsters created by the black gloves.

With a swift stroke, blood splattered, and these shadow monsters became corpses on the ground.

So weak… Chen Qi couldn’t help but sigh.

He had assumed the other party was weak, but to his surprise, the other party was even weaker than he had imagined.

No one can withstand a single blow.

The other porters all looked at Chen Qi with expressions of horror.

"Don't move, rest for a while. Don't worry, I won't hurt you..."

Mission accomplished! Chen Qi crouched down to examine the bodies.

Although the mission was completed, he vaguely sensed something was amiss.

These people are weak, too weak, ridiculously weak—

Its physical strength is even inferior to that of a first-order Book Appearance Transcendent.

Most of them are physically weak, and generally speaking, the stronger their spiritual energy field, the stronger they are.

Moreover, the dark shadows surrounding them seemed to be able to take shape...

"The shadow disguise technique of a second-tier shadow apprentice?" Chen Qi couldn't help but think.

This extraordinary ability can be used to change one's height and appearance, making it a rather practical extraordinary ability.

However, these people clearly do not possess a second-tier spiritual energy field or second-tier strength.

The price of this strength is a weak spiritual energy field.

These people can conceal their spiritual energy field while altering their appearance?
A special type of superhuman who can conceal their spiritual power and identity; in terms of rarity, they may be even rarer than ordinary combat superhumans.

After all, few people would pay attention to an ordinary person with a weak spiritual energy field.

Such extraordinary individuals are extremely rare.

Even the henchmen in black gloves would never number more than ten.

And here, there are five such extraordinary individuals!
Wow, that's quite a lot... Chen Qi said to the foreman of the moving workers standing to the side:
"When did these people arrive? And what are they doing here?"

The foreman of the moving workers stammered:

“About three months ago, they were mainly responsible for transporting goods. They were hardworking, had wives to support, and were honest people. We...we really didn’t know anything about them…”

The foreman of the moving team almost shrank back, fearing that Chen Qi would kill him.

Three months ago?

Chen Qi stroked his chin and asked, "What kind of liquor are they transporting?"

"Flower wine... a wine served to distinguished guests..."

Chen Qi suddenly felt a chill.

Previously, he was on Fenrir's ship, where Fenrir treated him to a lot of drinks.

Am I poisoned?
On the Witch's Sea, there are some extremely special poisonous creatures.

"Let me see the wine they're transporting."

"Okay, okay, they just moved this in."

The porter handed Chenqi a barrel filled with flowers and wine.

Chen Qi took a bottle of wine out of the barrel and examined it carefully.

Some small black hairs were floating in the bottle, but as time went on, they were melting and eventually disappeared into the wine.

From the outside, there is absolutely no problem!

"Disappeared so quickly..." Chen Qi was startled.

"These bottles of wine? Are they being shipped to the ship?"

Chen Qi confirmed again.

"Yes, it is……"

The porter stammered.

These poisons must have been created from a special rift.

The Black Whale Gang actually infiltrated the distillery and poisoned it.

Moreover, it rained for a full three months!
It seems like he's caught a big fish in this mission!

Chen Qi got up and rubbed his hands together.

Generally speaking, this kind of invisible poison is not very toxic.

Moreover, behind Chen Qi is the apothecary Flower Witch, so even if he is poisoned, it won't be a big problem.

As long as there's a breath left, even the Flower Witch can save you!

But for the Bloodblade Pirates, this was a fatal blow.

Chen Qi accepted the two bottles of wine, preparing to return and ask the Flower Witch for a favor:
"I see."

Immediately after confirming that there was nothing else going on, Chen Qi instructed the people at the brewery to handle the matter and to cover it up.

This matter was more important than he had imagined.

To prevent important figures from getting close... Chen Qi left the brewery as quickly as possible.

After Chen Qi left, the chubby guard captain looked on incredulously.

At this time when the Bloodblade Pirates were leaderless, someone actually came to their brewery and uncovered the Black Whale Pirates' conspiracy.

In terms of efficiency, they are nothing like the Bloodblade Pirates!
The guard looked at the numerous flowers and wines in the warehouse.

You should know that this is all liquor being transported to the ships carrying cadres!

If it weren't for them, these drinks would have been sent to the front lines!
If the frontline soldiers drink this wine, the consequences will be unimaginable!
"Who exactly is this Levin working for?!"

The guard captain couldn't help but sigh, and immediately went to the guard room to activate the radio communication device.

"Hello, is this Lord Fenrir? I have something important to report."

The captain of the guard was very anxious.

However, to his surprise, the other person's voice was very soft.

"No, I am the Blood Lady."

"Lady Blood?"

Lady Blood! The captain of the guards was suddenly shocked. The wife of their Bloodblade Pirates leader was actually with Lord Fenrir.

……

……

As dusk fell, the Black Mine City docks were bathed in a gentle golden glow, as if touched by the soft touch of time, appearing exceptionally tranquil and peaceful.

"Phew... Mission accomplished... So tired..."

Chen Qi stretched his tired body and walked towards his houseboat.

He completed the task too quickly. It would be best to wait another day, let things develop a bit, before going to Gray Rat to claim the task reward.

On the ship, the Flower Witch, wearing a cloak, sniffed the air, then immediately lowered her head and looked into the distance.

It smells like morning!

"Welcome back, Qi!"

The Flower Witch immediately leaped off the ship, waving and smiling at Chen Qi.

"Ah."

Chen Qi walked forward.

The moment he reached the Flower Witch, Chen Qi noticed that her cloak began to writhe wildly.

"??"

A faint smile appeared on the lips of the Flower Witch.

Something seems off... Chen Qi silently stopped in his tracks.

Something's not right, not even a ten out of ten, not even an eleven out of ten!
Isn't the writhing of the Flower Witch's cloak a little too intense?

Moreover, he vaguely sensed the screams of the water spirits...
