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

Chapter 219 BOSS Battle! The Final Battle Against the Black Lantern Dragon!
boom!boom!
The 'lanterns' in the sky swayed and flickered, accompanied by heavy breathing sounds, like thunderbolts, constantly echoing across the sea.

The scene before us resembled an impending storm.

"Something's wrong!"

"It's coming! It's coming!"

The crew of the Dagger couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Fenrir silently drew his greatsword:

"Activate the highest level of protective shield! All crew members, prepare..."

call!
Before Fenrir could finish speaking, the giant lantern suddenly lurched forward, and the monster in the mist gradually revealed its bloody scent and its ferocious fangs.

"This is……"

Everyone looked up at the enormous monster in the sky.

First, what came into their view was a slightly open mouth, and on the three rows of bladed teeth were a large number of corpses, among which, broken flags and steel could also be seen.

As you slowly ascend, you see a pair of bright red dragon eyes, and the lantern beneath the dragon's head emits a scorching light that burns the skin and spirits of everyone present, containing the terrifying power of the lantern.

Below, the enormous dragon's body was covered with a large number of scales that opened and closed continuously. Each scale was like a sharp blade, as if it had absorbed the endless darkness and unknown power of the seabed. These scales were closely arranged and moved up and down with each breath, forming an indestructible armor.

"Sea Dragon..."

"Fenrir the mad wolf said instinctively."

Although the Dagger is an exploration ship, it is not small and can easily accommodate a hundred people.

However, it still appeared extremely small in front of this sea dragon.

If the Dagger hadn't had a protective shield and had been made of wood, it would have been crushed to dust almost instantly!

That familiar feeling… Chen Qi looked up and made a guess.

The sea dragon that emerged from the water was already over fifty meters long, and its true size was conservatively estimated to be at least one hundred meters.

but……

They look alike! They really do!

Isn't this the super-deluxe version of the husky that guards his base and is the near-shore overlord?

Of course, although they look similar, their presence is on completely different levels.

It should be noted that the size of a near-shore predator is only about 20 meters, but the size of the sea dragon in front of us is at least 100 meters, which is a full five times the size!

It's the difference between a strong, muscular man and a stray dog ​​on the street!
What exactly is this...? For a moment, Chen Qi didn't know how to address the enormous thing in front of him.

"why why?"

The Flower Witch Fen's pupils constricted sharply, and she involuntarily gripped the ship's railing:
"Black Ship Sea Dragon, no, this size should be called Black Lantern Dragon, a monster of Dragon King level!"

Finn's eyes were filled with disbelief; they had actually encountered a dragon of the dragon king level on the high seas!
This is an extremely rare and unusual event!

Could it be because of me? My teacher once said that once you become a witch, you become a symbol of calamity, and calamity attracts calamity... Flower Witch Fen bit her lip again.

Dragon King level...

Chen Qi's gaze involuntarily fell upon the black lantern dragon before him.

Generally speaking, dragons can be simply divided into juveniles, adults, and the next higher-ranking dragon kings.

For dragons, the gap between juvenile and adult forms is a huge chasm.

Above that, dragons that exceed the normal strength of an individual are called Dragon Kings. These are special individuals that often require special opportunities or the help of a beast tamer to evolve.

Once they evolve, they are often given a new name.

Chen Qi seemed to remember that this guy was called the Black Lantern Dragon.

However, he never expected that it would be such a huge entity.

"Black Lantern Dragon! That's a pretty good name. By the way, what's the connection between this guy and the Lesser Coastal Overlord...?"

Chen Qi touched his chin, raised his head, and thought for a moment.

But in the next instant, a huge scream of terror instantly drowned out his ears, pulling him out of his thoughts.

"Helmsman! Adjust to port!"

"Fight with all our might! Everyone, with our blood! With our blades! Begin the battle!"

After a brief silence, a tremendous explosion erupted, the instinct for survival transforming into passion that resonated throughout every inch of the Dagger.

The engine power is at its maximum!
The captain, the priest, the sailors, the first mate—everyone on board screamed hysterically at that moment.

This is a cry from instinct!
The moment they encounter the Black Lantern Dragon, it means that their life or death hangs by a thread!
Snapped!
A bright orange blossom appeared on Fen's head, and she suddenly pinched Chen Qi's armpit:
"Qi! Don't fall into illusions!"

"Ouch, Fen, if you pinch my armpit again, believe me, I'll pinch your cheeks..." Chen Qi felt the pain in his armpit and looked at Fen's expression.

At this moment, Fenhua's eyes, beneath the flowers, were slightly bloodshot, and she looked extremely serious.

She also sensed the presence of death.

When faced with danger, Fen doesn't like to talk much.

Chen Qi turned his head to the side, and huge waves were getting closer and closer from afar.

The arrival of a sea dragon of Dragon King caliber poses a deadly crisis for the Dagger.

A crisis with a 99% chance of death!

The countless shipwrecks on the Black Lantern Dragon's body prove that countless ships have become its prey.

The lanterns hanging high in the air emanated a kind of extraordinary power, captivating and mesmerizing people.

And it is itself the true apex predator in the food chain of this sea area.

The Black Lantern Dragon is the embodiment of natural disasters in this sea area!
The Black Lantern Dragon slowly lowered its head, creating huge waves, and its massive head moved closer and closer to Chen Qi.

"Absolutely, we must not let it get any closer to our ships!"

Fenrir the mad wolf roared:
"Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire at full power!"

Cannons roared from the deck, and blinding beams of light pierced the sky, pointing directly at the location of the sea dragon.

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and a tense atmosphere, as if even the sea breeze was trembling.

Although the trajectory of the cannonball was extremely precise, it exploded next to the Black Lantern Dragon's massive body, creating a huge column of water and billowing smoke.

However, these scorching hot shells hit the Black Lantern Dragon like tiny firecrackers.

"Don't attack it!!"

When Chen Qi took command, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Although he has a deep-sea affinity, he cannot guarantee that the Black Lantern Dragon will not launch an attack after being subjected to such a fierce attack.

Just as humans will attack humans if they are attacked by other humans, once the flames of battle are ignited, the Black Lantern Dragon might launch a truly ferocious attack! A brutal attack!
However, amidst the roar of artillery fire, his voice made absolutely no sound!

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

The Black Lantern Dragon continued to emit bloody breaths and indescribable growls, braving the cannon fire, and slowly moved towards Chen Qi's direction.

The Flower Witch Fen suddenly plucked a bloody flower from her face and gently held the blood-streaked blossom in her hand:
"Qi... I'm sorry, Fenrir the Mad Wolf, is there any hope of our lifeboat escaping?"

Fenrir the Mad Wolf drew his greatsword, gathering his spiritual power:

“Miss Witch, I don’t believe the lifeboat can survive in this sea. Besides, I don’t want to run away. I will not abandon our brothers!”
However, we'll buy you and Mr. Hunter time to escape!

Fen gently plucked a flower, looked up at the moon in the sky, then turned her head to look at Qi:

"Qi, now, only my flower-based healing technique can stop it. If possible, please take my flowers with you..."

boom! boom! boom!
The artillery fire continued to bombard the Black Lantern Dragon's body.

"Didn't these two hear me...?" Chen Qi shouted, his voice booming, almost a roar.
"Gentlemen, I'll say it again, stop the attack! I'll handle this!"

Amidst the gunfire, Fen smiled slightly at Chen Qi, then placed her hand on her chest, attempting to pluck the flower from her bosom:
"Qi, you're hallucinating too. It's a pity, I still have so many questions I want to ask you..."

boom! boom!
Finally, the Black Lantern Dragon grew impatient from the cannon fire. Its sharp fangs gleamed coldly, and its eyes flashed with desire and rage for its prey. With lightning speed, it lunged at the ship. With a deafening roar, the Black Lantern Dragon's indestructible head slammed into the Dagger's side shield.

The enormous impact caused the entire ship to tremble violently, as if it were about to disintegrate at any moment.

The items on the deck were thrown everywhere by the shock, and the crew members were flung about by the sudden force. Their screams of terror and shouts of chaos mingled together, creating a breathtaking scene!

Fenrir the wolf struggled to his feet and roared:

"Damn it! Damn it! Why isn't this guy backing down at all when we attack? Does he want to eat us alive?!"

"Is this the Dragon King?!"

Chen Qi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and clench his fist.

These two people completely, utterly ignored him!

Absolutely not!
"call……"

Chen Qi exhaled a breath of blood, silently took a step forward, and then slowly opened his arms.

boom!
"Can't you two listen to me?!"

Chen Qi grabbed Fen's neck with his right hand and Kuang Lang's neck with his left, then slammed their heads hard against the side of the boat.

Smash it again!

Smash it again, harder!
A glint of crimson flashed in Chen Qi's eyes, and he said finally:
"I told you to stop attacking!!!"

"Ugh?"

Fen, her face filled with terror, slowly lifted her head from under Chen Qi's palm, pouting and looking at Chen Qi with disbelief.

This was the first time Chen Qi had shown such a fierce side in all the time she had spent with him!
Although the Flower Witch Fen wasn't averse to it, the current situation made her wonder if Chen Qi had been driven mad.

"Qi, you..."

However, before she could even react, Chen Qi had already pinched her cheek:
"Fen, calm down. I'm not crazy. You don't need to activate the Liberation! As long as you stop attacking, I have a way to resolve the current crisis."

Fenrir the Mad Wolf was filled with disbelief, and couldn't help but recall the terrifying tales in the newspapers.

what's the situation!
Could it be that the Black Hunter actually wants to stop attacking?

Could it really be like what the White Dove Times reported, a natural disaster from the ocean, orchestrated by the Black Lantern Dragon to destroy them?

Chen Qi turned his head and said fiercely:

"Fenrir, have your men cease firing for half a minute. These shells are obstructing my view."

Fenrir the mad wolf raised his head, his eyes like those of a hungry wolf:
"Mr. Hunter, remember this! Although you are our benefactor, if you go mad, I will take action!"

Even a single second lost in the face of such a behemoth could lead to the destruction of the entire ship!
Chen Qi lowered his head, his eyes like those of a giant python:
"I'm not crazy! I'll say it one last time, tell your minions to stop attacking! Give me half a minute, I'll deal with the Black Lantern Dragon in front of me!"

"You can't possibly suppress this Black Lantern Dragon..."

boom!
Chen Qi slammed the head of Fenrir down in his hand, looking down at it from above:
"Do you think you can do it? This Dagger can withstand at most two more impacts, right? I can survive at sea, but you can't."

"I'll say it one last time, stop!"

Chen Qi said expressionlessly.

Fenrir gritted his teeth, glanced at the Flower Witch again, and couldn't help but recall the scene of Chen Qi defeating the Black Pig Shark.

Now, perhaps we can only listen to the Black Hunter!

He struggled to raise his head, letting out a howl like a wolf:

"Everyone! Stop! Stop attacking!"

Fenrir the Mad Wolf was the captain of this ship, and at his roar, the intense and continuous bombardment finally stopped.

Under absolute authority, all the crew members looked toward Chen Qi on the deck.

They, like Fenrir, couldn't understand why they would abandon the attack under such a dangerous situation.

At this moment, Chen Qi finally had the chance to meet Black Lantern Dragon's bright red eyes once again.

Roar--

The black dragon slowly moved forward, its massive head once again approaching Chen Qi.

Leaving... Chen Qi glanced at the Black Lantern Dragon.

However, the enormous black dragon did not retreat at all. Instead, it breathed out bloody breath, shook its huge tail, and stirred up towering waves as it charged towards Chen Qi.

"Can't we really fire?"

"No, Mom! God of Daylight! I want to jump into the sea!"

"No, we shouldn't trust that hunter! He's a dragon's captive! He was fooled by the lanterns in the sky!"

On the ship, amidst the stench of blood, even more terrified and resentful voices rang out once more from the Dagger.

Why doesn't the Black Lantern Dragon leave? Chen Qi thought for a moment.

Like the coastal overlords, they are the type that are extremely difficult to communicate with.

Is there any way to make it leave?
Since he shares the same race as the overlords of the near seas… Chen Qi fell into thought, took out his fishing rod that he hadn’t used in a long time, and used a lot of bait to create an exquisite extraordinary bait.

Chen Qi looked at the bait in his hand.

This amount probably wouldn't even be enough to fill a Black Lantern's teeth, would it?

Do black lantern dragons really eat this?
Never mind, let's give it a try.

Chen Qi suddenly exerted his muscles and threw the extraordinary bait far out to sea.

Go forth, extraordinary bait!
What's going on? Everyone's eyes followed the parabolic trajectory of the bait and looked into the distance.

What is the Black Hunter doing? Is this kind of thing really useful?
Why does this action look a bit like playing with a big dog?
Everyone was stunned for a moment.

boom!
A very soft splash.

Under the immense force of Chen Qi, the extraordinary bait landed on the sea surface two thousand meters away.

Then, the enormous black dragon opened its huge mouth again and spewed out blood.

"Can it work...?" A hint of doubt arose in Chen Qi's heart, and he glared at the Black Lantern Dragon.

"..."

Fenrir, like a starving dog, couldn't help but show a look of horror.

This bloodlust!
Could it be!

Dragon Cannon! It's a Dragon King-level dragon cannon, a world-destroying dragon cannon!
However, the next second, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, the black dragon turned to the side, then swam sharply towards the bait, wagging its tail.

Huge waves crashed against the protective shield.

"!?"

Everyone was shocked. The Black Lantern Dragon had actually ignored their delicious meat for the sake of bait!

Could it be… Fenrir the Mad Wolf’s lips twitched slightly. The scene before him reminded him of a long-lost skill.

The Flower Witch Fen, her face flushed, slowly raised her head, and was momentarily stunned.

what's the situation!
Why do I feel like the Black Lantern Dragon looks a bit like a husky looking for a bone...?

"I must be hallucinating. No wonder Chen Qi grabbed me just now; he was trying to wake me up..." Fen said to Chen Qi.

"Qi, could you pinch my cheek again?"

"???"

Chen Qi looked puzzled.
