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

Chapter 220 Can we win?
"Pinch me!"

The Flower Witch Fen looked serious.

Pain is the natural antidote to hallucinations.

The Flower Witch likes to be pinched? You said it... Chen Qi pinched the Flower Witch Fen's cheek with his thumb and forefinger almost without hesitation.

Soft and fluffy—

It feels strangely comfortable.

The kind that makes you want to pinch it a little longer.

Chen Qi gently twisted his finger, increasing the pressure.

Show no mercy.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, that's enough, it really hurts—"

The Flower Witch Fen raised her head, blinked hard, and once again looked at the distant, surging waves with everyone else.

The Black Lantern Dragon's enormous head, like a small mountain, plunged into the sea, searching for the bait it had just thrown out.

A massive column of waves rose up!
No, no matter how you look at it, that wagging tail looks a bit like a big dog... Flower Witch Fen pinched her flushed cheeks, staring in disbelief at the scene in the distance.

The Black Lantern Dragon was actually attracted by the tiny, extraordinary bait!
Is this outrageous? This is a monster of the Dragon King level!
Phew, there shouldn't be any problems... Chen Qi reluctantly let go of his hand, looked at the Black Lantern Dragon in the distance, and let out a long breath.

Once it's confirmed that the Black Lantern Dragon will be attracted by the extraordinary bait, then the crisis can be declared temporarily over.

If that Black Lantern Dragon moves even slightly, their entire Dagger will crash into this distorted sea and drink a pot of seawater full of nutrients!

Black Lantern Dragon's brief departure allowed the crew of the Dagger to gradually emerge from the sense of impending death.

The Dagger immediately accelerated!
It should be noted that most of the sea creatures in the Aberrant Sea are extremely aggressive.

And they actually managed to witness a dragon king and survive.

“Thank God!”

"Who just said they entrusted their wife and children to me?"

"Who just confessed their love to me?"

"Who just said that if the Black Lantern Dragon dies, it should drink this cup of mutated water upside down?"

"Haha! Brother Fenrir, I'd like to have a drink!"

"What exactly was the technique that Mr. Black Hunter just used? It actually managed to drive away a ferocious beast of the calamity level."

"Yeah, what kind of move is it? Could it be the Black Hunter's Haki?"

Everyone was surprised, delighted, and full of questions, and they all looked at Chen Qi.

The feeling of being stared at by everyone... Chen Qi lowered his head and found that Fen was also staring at him.

The colorful eyes under the floss flowers stared wide-eyed, looking like curious little children.

"Cough cough."

Oh no, I have to explain... Chen Qi pondered how to get away with it.

Just as Chen Qi was pondering, Fenrir the mad wolf raised its head and walked over:
"Mr. Black Hunter, was that the legendary 'Fishing in the Storm' technique you just used?"

You actually knew that?
Chen Qi blinked involuntarily.

That's the name of his move, the Extraordinary Bait!

"Exactly!"

Chen Qi nodded confidently.

You know so much, Fenrir!

It's actually true! Fenrir the Mad Wolf struggled to control his expression, as if everything was expected:
"It really is the legendary deep-sea hunter's technique. Legend has it that this bait can attract sea monsters."

Deep-sea hunters often use this move to lure other sea monsters into a perfect hunting ground in order to fight them. Now, this move can actually be reproduced. Mr. Black Hunter, you've even gotten your hands on a Deep-sea hunter's treasure!
Legend has it that he defeated the calamity-inducing beast, the Sea Lantern Fox, precisely because of his extraordinary bait…

Fenrir recounted a legend of a deep-sea hunter.

"hiss……"

The extraordinary bait has such a history... Chen Qi thought about it carefully.

The extraordinary bait seems to indeed have such an effect, but because of his own circumstances, he has never paid special attention to this.

So it wasn't because of my charm after all? Chen Qi looked slightly disappointed.

"Deep Sea Hunter, so that's how it is..."

Fen fell into thought. She had never heard of Chen Qi mastering the Deep Sea Hunter's techniques before.

Chen Qi is truly a mysterious man!

With Chen Qi's current strength, obtaining a treasure from a deep-sea hunter is not a rare occurrence.

At this moment, the sailors of the Dagger shouted:

"Boss, it looks like some scales have fallen off the Black Lantern Dragon! Should we retrieve them?"

Scales? Chen Qi looked down and found that some scalding hot scales had indeed fallen from the sea after the bombardment.

This shouldn't be the power of the shell.

Currently, the Black Lantern Dragon is in a special molting period.

Fenrir roared:
"salvage!"

The skilled sailors on the Dagger were quick and immediately operated the salvage machinery to retrieve the thick scales.

boom!
Three thick, jet-black scales fell onto the deck.

Chen Qi walked over and gently touched it.

Rough, hard, scalding hot...

Black Lantern Dragon Scales:
Description: Lightweight yet extremely hard black dragon scales, with exceptionally high spiritual energy conductivity on the inner side, making them suitable for crafting extremely rare armor. Furthermore, the surface of these scales possesses remarkable spiritual energy absorption properties; most spiritual energy attacks are diluted by 80% upon impact!

The extremely strong spiritual energy conductivity, coupled with the dilution of spiritual energy... Chen Qi was slightly startled.

This Black Lantern Dragon material is really good!
The dilution of spiritual energy means that the scale can be made into powerful magic-immune armor, or the hull of a ship!

"Good stuff!"

The crew of the Dagger were all amazed, saying that this was quite a windfall.

Although there are only three pieces, they are all dragon scales of the Dragon King, no matter what.

"Alright, stop looking, this isn't our spoils!"

Fenrir said cheerfully:

"Mr. Black Hunter, the scales of the Black Lantern Dragon are a valuable item. I see that although your ship is fast, it lacks defense."

"When we get back, I'll have Little Ami install a state-of-the-art defense system on your ship. And while we're at it, I'll use this scale to reinforce your ship's windows and doors, how about that?"

Defense system!

This is no small sum. If it's the latest type of defense system, its value might even exceed that of his ship itself... Chen Qi thought to himself.

This is also the biggest weakness of his ghost ship.

Fenrir's move was truly extravagant!

Chen Qi nodded:

"Thank you very much."

Fenrir laughed loudly:

"Hahaha! No need to thank me! Mr. Black Hunter, if it weren't for you, we would all be dead. I would give you the Dagger even if it were just for you!"

No, if it weren't for me, the Black Lantern Dragon wouldn't have arrived so quickly... Chen Qi broke out in a cold sweat and looked at the Black Lantern Dragon in the distance again.

Fenrir the Mad Wolf followed Chen Qi's gaze and looked into the distance:

"The things on these dragon kings are all treasures. Legend has it that there is an extremely rare luminous jade in the lantern of the Black Lantern Dragon, which is the perfect material for the lantern."

Unfortunately, these things are legendary toys, and have nothing to do with people like us!

However, if this mission is completed perfectly, perhaps Lady Blood will give me a valuable Blade-type item.

Scales, lamplight, luminous jade... Chen Qi stroked his chin.

As the overlord of the near seas, this Black Lantern Dragon is a treasure trove from head to toe!

This Black Lantern Dragon is much richer than the coastal overlord!

Chen Qi swallowed hard. If he could remove all the scales from the Black Lantern Dragon, he could forge an incredibly sturdy ship. If he could obtain the Light Orb, he could acquire extremely powerful materials for the Lantern. But the next second, something unexpected happened.

"Roar!"

After finishing the bait, the Black Lantern Dragon did not leave. Instead, it roared at Chen Qi and then swam to the front of the Dagger at an extremely fast speed.

Relentless pursuit!

Roar!
What? You want to eat more? Chen Qi broke out in a cold sweat.

In order to satisfy the Black Lantern Dragon, the seemingly ordinary extraordinary bait actually consumed a lot of his spiritual power.

He doesn't have enough spiritual power right now to create another deluxe version of the extraordinary bait for the Black Lantern Dragon!
The helmsman was suddenly startled:
"Brother Fenrir, Lord Black Hunter! It's a Black Lantern Dragon! It's on our flight path! Should we take a detour?"

Fenrir was completely stunned; this was the first time he had ever encountered something like this.

The Black Lantern Dragon actually ran ahead of them!

At dawn, I looked towards the black dragon lantern.

He vaguely understood what Black Lantern Dragon meant.

It has two meanings.

The first meaning was: "Wow, that's great! I want more!"

Is the extraordinary bait I made really that delicious...? Even Chen Qi himself is tempted to try a bite.

The second meaning is roughly—"I have something good for you!"

Fenrir the mad wolf gazed into the distance, lost in thought.

If they change course, it means they will spend more time and have a greater chance of encountering other sea creatures.

Fenrir couldn't help but ask Chen Qi:

"Mr. Hunter, what do you think? Should we change course?"

Chen Qi stroked his chin and said:

"I don't think it's necessary. It hasn't attacked us directly, which means it's in a good mood right now, so we might as well go along with it."

Maybe it's leading the way for us now.

lead the way!

Fenrir was surprised and wondered if he had misheard.

Was the Black Lantern Dragon's roar just now meant to guide us?

That's the embodiment of natural disasters in this sea area!

This deep-sea hunter's extraordinary bait is so potent!

Could it be that the Black Hunter's bait contains an aphrodisiac made by the Flower Witch?
Fen's head also sprouted a little flower of surprise. As a young lady living in the Beast Taming Kingdom, she could clearly sense that the Black Lantern Dragon had not shown enough killing intent.

Following Black Lantern Dragon to the naval research base was something she never dared to dream of.

The group exchanged bewildered glances, but after what had just happened, they were willing to believe their savior.

As long as they have the Black Hunter's extraordinary bait, they are not afraid of the Black Lantern Dragon!

If all else fails, they will provide full protection for Chen Qi, replenish his mana, and enable him to create more extraordinary bait.

Fenrir stepped forward and roared:
"Then let's listen to the Black Hunter! Forward, follow him, Black Lantern Dragon, full speed ahead!"

"it is good!"

The crowd erupted in a deafening roar.

The Dagger charged through the Aberration Sea with unstoppable momentum!
……

……

Late at night, on an abandoned, lost island, at a naval research base, at the dock.

Under the lighthouse's glow, this long-abandoned naval research base was brightly lit.

A full fifteen Black Whale Legion warships were anchored in the harbor.

Accompanied by the sound of horns, a large warship bearing a red skull and crossbones flag gradually sailed into the dock from afar.

"Finally arrived. Surprisingly, everything went smoothly. That Black Lantern Dragon was indeed scared away by the blood poison gas I released. As expected of me..."

The flesh-and-blood mage waved his hand, signaling the ship to dock.

After successfully reaching the shore, the Flesh and Blood Mage couldn't help but smile happily:

"As expected of an old lady, everything is under her control. If it weren't for the Bloodblade Pirates' ships, we wouldn't have dared to accelerate in that area of ​​the sea."

Immediately afterward, the Flesh Mage turned around and asked the investigator behind him:

"How is the Bloodblade Pirate Crew doing now?"

The investigator replied:
"Reporting to you, sir, according to radar, the Black Lantern Dragon's aura has reappeared in the nearby waters. At the same time, a ship's signal has also been detected. The Black Lantern Dragon and that ship have already clashed. It appears that one of the Blood Blade Pirates' ships has been destroyed."

"A ship has been destroyed..."

The Flesh and Blood Mage frowned and looked into the depths of the naval base.

In order to safely enter the ruins of the Blade Witch and obtain her treasure, they need the help of the Flower Witch and a key called the 'Witch'!

The Flower Witch is an indispensable key, and the Black Hunter is the person that Big Mom Carol specifically requested!
The Black Hunter and the Flower Witch can be crippled, but they cannot die!

The flesh-and-blood mage questioned:

"Who's on that ship? Are there witches or hunters?"

"I'm sorry, sir, our radar signals and intelligence are not yet able to arrive at this conclusion."

The flesh-and-blood mage murmured:

"Forget it, their luck shouldn't be that bad; they shouldn't have run into that giant dragon..."

The Flesh Mage, as the commander of this operation, began pacing back and forth on the deck.

Then he spoke, slowly giving instructions:
"If an exploration ship is consumed, it means that the Black Lantern Dragon has consumed at least fifty second-tier superhumans and a bunch of superhuman spiritual items!"
Even if it was a natural disaster, it should already be full and happy now!

A perfect opportunity!
The flesh-and-blood mage stroked his chin.

According to the information he has received, the reason why the Black Whale Gang's ships dare not make any rash moves is not only because of the mysterious Azure Beast at the naval research base, but also because of that terrifying Black Lantern Dragon.

Currently, the Black Lantern Dragon has just eaten, so its appetite must be greatly reduced! It definitely needs to digest!

This is a good opportunity to arrange transport ships to bring back all the data, weapons, and captured sea creatures obtained from the naval base.

The flesh-and-blood mage shouted the command:

"Black Lantern Ship Seven, Black Lantern Ship Eight, Ship Nine, heed my command! Within five minutes, immediately cross the Sea of ​​Anomalies and return to port!"
Meanwhile, salvage ship number eleven, immediately head to the central waters of the Aberration Sea to salvage the wreckage of the Bloodblade Pirates! Recover as much equipment as possible!

"Then, turn up the lighthouse brightness. Black Shark One and Two will be in charge of combat. Once one warship is destroyed, the other exploration ships will receive the signal and will inevitably go to investigate. At that time, we will launch a surprise attack and start a naval battle!"

"As ordered!"

"As ordered!"

With synchronized steps, the roar of engines began to rise.

What a windfall... The Flesh Mage grinned smugly, mimicking Carol, sitting on the sofa, rolling up his trousers, sipping a glass of red wine, embracing a stolen beauty, kissing her, and savoring the wonderful moment.

Carole is truly worthy of being called Carole!
In this vast ocean, the Bloodblade Pirates are nothing more than toys, weapons, and mere consumables for the Black Whale Pirates.

Everything is going according to plan!
Next, it's harvest time!

The Bloodblade Pirates' loot, the Black Hunter and the Witch Lady, the naval base's treasure—it's all ours.

The mission is really simple. Apart from that Azure Beast, there is no threat in this sea area... The Flesh Mage drank his red wine and enjoyed the wonderful roar of the ships.

"what!!!"

However, in the next instant, screams of agony suddenly came from afar.

"What the hell is that yelling about?"

The Flesh and Blood Mage turned around and looked at the Black Whale Legion's warships that had set sail for battle.

However, a strong gust of blood wind, like a giant, pressed down on him, making it impossible for him to open his eyes for a moment.

The sound of the waves grew louder and louder!
Why is it so dark ahead? Why is there so much fog?
The flesh-and-blood mage slowly raised his head, and above the newly built lighthouse, there was a lantern, a lantern that kept hanging higher and higher in the air.

His mind went blank for a moment, leaving only one question, a simple question:

Now, can the naval research base's warship force defeat Black Lantern Dragon?
