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

Chapter 234 The Sea of ​​Mist
Chen Qi touched his forehead and thought about it carefully.

The little crow completed the task assigned by the Dream Beast, a very rewarding mission.

Meanwhile, Captain Carole of the Mermaid has gone missing...

These two events intersect, and the fact that the little crow became the temporary captain of the Mermaid is not a far-fetched event.

"If I had to say, I deserve some credit for the little crow becoming captain..." Chen Qi thought to himself.

However, Little Raven's combat abilities are not strong among third-tier superhumans. She still has a very long way to go before she can become the true captain of the Mermaid and a pirate queen like Carol.

However, judging from the composition of this photo alone, it is not favorable for Chenqi's condition.

More than fifty Black Whale Gang executives boarded a large ship bound for the Sea of ​​Mist, which was definitely not good news.

Chen Qi's eyes were dark as he looked at Jin Li.

At this moment, Jin Li had changed her outfit. She tore off her tight-fitting naval uniform, letting her long ponytails fall naturally, revealing her graceful figure. Finally, she put on a gold hat with coin symbols and carried a super squirrel backpack on her back.

This familiar feeling... Chen Qi couldn't help but feel a surge of desire to spend money.

Wearing a money hat and carrying an oversized backpack is the standard attire for traveling merchants.

Jin Li swallowed the blood in her mouth, then turned her head and smiled slightly at Chen Qi.

In that instant, two large gold coin symbols appeared on her glasses.

In the battle just now, Jin Li lost a total of 100,000 intelligence fees, 100,000 physical enhancements, 50,000 gold coin punches, and 500,000 rapid jabs!
In total, it amounted to a staggering 750,000 shell coins!

For a successful businesswoman like Jin Li, being cheated out of money by someone she's just met is a blatant disgrace.

She will definitely earn back the money she lost!
Jin Li swallowed a mouthful of water, squinted her eyes, skillfully clasped her hands together, and revealed a fawning smile:
"Guest, how was it? My intelligence was pretty good, wasn't it? Are you satisfied?"

Such a quick change of expression... Chen Qi was astonished by the other person's rapid change of expression.

Even though they had just met, Jin Li still had a rather mocking expression on her face, as if she wanted to beat him to a pulp.

After being beaten up, he immediately switched back to merchant mode.

He truly deserves to be called one of the most cowardly legends.

Jin Li has a small face and a tall figure. With her gold-rimmed round glasses, she has a literary beauty when she doesn't speak.

However, her expressions usually only have two modes: a mocking mode and a shrewd businessman mode.

Jin Li rubbed her hands together:
"Guest, you truly live up to the witch's reputation as her person. Despite only having a second-tier spiritual energy field, your strength is formidable, which I cannot help but admire..."

"But aren't you curious why the Black Whale Gang's executives are gathered here? Besides the witch, what else could possibly attract the Black Whale Gang members to come together like this?"

"This is crucial intelligence about the Black Whale Gang, and it only costs 300,000 shell coins! No, sir, considering how much you have, I'll only charge you 100,000 shell coins!"

Jin Li's eyes gleamed with golden light. She stretched out her index finger and made a big "one" on the forehead!
The main objective of the Black Whale Gang...

Chen Qi thought for a moment.

Undoubtedly, capturing the Flower Witch is one of the Black Whale Gang's main objectives.

But on this vast ocean, the Black Whale Gang has an even greater goal: to kill the Black Whale and conquer this ocean.

First, they need to conquer as many cities and treasures as possible in the Rift Sea.

To achieve this goal, they need to do a lot of things.

The Sea Beast Research Project, the Deep Blue Fire Mining Project, the Deep Sea Hunter Treasure Hunt Project, and the Witch's Land Exploration Project are all the goals of the Black Whale Gang.

But without a doubt, in the storm to come, a massive natural disaster will completely change everything—that is the impending arrival of the Laughing Moon.

The crimson moon hanging high in the sky will usher in a new chapter for the Witch Sea.

By now, information about Xiaoyue should have already been leaked… Chen Qi calmly guessed:
"Xiaoyue?"

"Uh-huh?"

Jin Li's outstretched index finger trembled.

"Are you from the White Dove newspaper? How do you know more than an information broker like me?" Jin Li couldn't help but show a shocked look!
Chen Qi clapped his hands and asked:
"By the way, have you ever met the Flower Witch? Your purpose for this trip must be more than just that, right?"

Jin Li was, after all, a member of the Ice Demon Pirates, and the information she possessed was definitely more than that.

Jin Li raised her head slightly, her eyes sparkling:
“Yes, Black Hunter, and Miss Witch, I personally believe that it is not a wise choice for you to stay on the Bloodblade Pirate Crew. Therefore, I would like to have a talk with the Witch.”

Chen Qi took out his water bottle and took a sip:
"I know, she's feeling better today and can see you."

"Really? Guest?"

Jin Li rubbed her hands together excitedly.

Chen Qi smiled and said:
"Of course it's true. By the way, why is your face covered in injuries, and why are you walking with a limp? Do you need any medication?"

I happen to have some potent medicine here. I'll give you a 90% discount; it's a fixed price of 100,000 shell coins.

"???"

Jin Li's smile was starting to falter.

A bottle of healing potion, a 90% discount, and 100,000 shell coins—these three conditions can actually occur simultaneously!
A bottle of healing potion selling for 5,000 coins is already considered a high price.

Only idiots who are new to society would fall for this!
Chen Qi added:
"This is a potent potion made by the Flower Witch."

"I'll buy!"

Jin Li said instinctively.

Jin Li is a legendary businesswoman with a lot of money to be made; we can slowly fleece her... Chen Qi handed the potion to Jin Li.

Finally, Chen Qi glanced at the photo in his hand one last time, looked at the misty sea, and walked towards the ward.

……

……

The Sea of ​​Rifts, the Border Island, the Wrecked Ship Dock.

The mist rose slowly, mingling with the drizzle.

The wooden planks of the dock were already mottled and worn, and rainwater seeped in along the cracks, making a "drip-drip" sound.

This is the edge of the Sea of ​​Rifts. With the arrival of the Rift Tide, this border island has long since become desolate and dilapidated.

Aside from a few homeless fugitives, some insane lunatics, and pirates like the Black Whale Gang, almost no one comes to this border island.

Of course, this is only its appearance.

In fact, this place is called Misty Wharf, a necessary passage for hunters of the Rift Sea to reach the Misty Sea.

The Sea of ​​Mist is a place where daylight is scarce, and it is also the very edge of the Witch's Sea.

In the Sea of ​​Mist, a vast expanse of terrifying and eerie mist drifts across the ocean, while terrifying monsters, like the overlords of the near sea, roam freely like schools of fish, their eerie echoes reverberating throughout the sea day and night.

In the minds of countless hunters, this is a forbidden place that no one would ever go to.

The little crow hid in a corner of an abandoned church, its heart pounding harder and harder. It carefully took out a piece of paper, looked up at the sun in the sky, and tried to calculate the coordinates of the place.

"The Black Whale Gang's base..."

In this sea area, signals cannot be transmitted at all, and the compass is also very weak... The little crow couldn't help but bite its tongue.

One of the main reasons the Black Whale Gang has been able to dominate the seas for so many years is that its headquarters is unknown. Neither the White Dove newspaper nor the Navy's intelligence bureau has any information about the Black Whale Gang's base.

Legend has it that the headquarters of the Black Whales is located in a place where no signal can be detected, at the edge of the New World, at the end of the Sea of ​​Mist...

It is precisely because of this mysterious location that even when facing the Great Judgment of the Kingdom of Bei, the hunter groups under the Steam Hand of the Kingdom of Bei, including the Black Whale Gang, will not perish.

Each time they are killed, the Black Whale Gang returns from the mist like ghosts.

For three hundred years since the Black Whale Gang was founded, the Navy's intelligence agency has never given up searching for their base, but they have never succeeded...

Little Crow never expected that she, a small captain on Captain Black Eyes' ship and a failed student from the Royal University of Bei Kingdom, would be so close to the headquarters of the Black Whale Gang!

So close!
The little crow clutched its pounding chest, picked up the newspaper, and glanced at it again.

#Trial Grounds, the Witch and the Hunter's First Major Operation#
#The Disappearance of Carole#
#The Campfire Energy Company's A-rank hunter team launches an attack, annihilating the Black Whale Gang's Sword Shark fleet#
Because of the Black Hunter and the Witch incident, and the disappearance of Big Mom Carol, she was suddenly summoned from her experiments on the ship and, along with other executives, went to the headquarters of the Black Whale Gang.

A great storm is coming... The little crow nervously gripped the newspaper in its hand and swallowed a mouthful of water.

On this vast ocean, naval battles are growing larger and larger, and more and more monsters are beginning to emerge.

And if I get the coordinates of the Black Whale Gang's headquarters... Little Crow's heart raced even more.

This is enough to change the landscape of the Witch Sea!
In that case, even that bastard intelligence chief who tricked her into joining the Black Whale Gang can't cover up her contributions! Nor can he order her around anymore!
The little crow strained to raise its head, trying to deduce the coordinates of this place based on the celestial phenomena.

However, a dark and heavy fog covered the sky, making it impossible to see even during the day...

No, I'm not a navigator, I can't possibly guess... The little crow bit its lip sharply.

The next second, suddenly, a hand patted her on the back.

The little crow shuddered and suddenly turned its head:
"Siren..."

The siren tossed her long, flowing hair:
"Little crow! What are you doing?"

The little crow forced down its racing heartbeat, took out the newspaper in its hand, and calmly said:
"According to the news, if it weren't for the hunters and witches, our Mermaid would be a fleet under the protection of the old lady."

Unfortunately, even some officers on smaller ships dare to give our Mermaid a hard time.

"Black Hunter..."

The siren gritted her teeth:

"Yes, Black Hunter, it's all that despicable guy's fault. If I catch him, I'll make him experience the ultimate humiliation!"

As the siren spoke, she made a fist-like gesture with both hands.

The little crow smiled wryly:

"It's easier said than done. To this day, we don't even know what the Black Hunter looks like."

The siren threw two punches into the air:
"Alright, my little crow, I'm here to inform you! We should go now, the ferryman has arrived."

"The ferryman?"

The little crow walked out of the abandoned church in surprise and looked towards the dock.

The sirens explained:
"Don't you know? In the Misty Sea, unless it's the most advanced ship from the Bei Kingdom, ordinary ships simply cannot navigate it."

However, in this place, there exists a special entity; for a very small price, we can summon its ship and have it take us to our destination.

A dilapidated ship slowly sailed in from the misty dock.

At the same time, a figure slowly emerged from the bow of the ship.

It wears a straw raincoat that has been polished to a shine by the years, a bamboo hat with thin ropes hanging down from the edge that sway gently in the wind, and holds a long wooden oar in its hands.

It uttered a simple word in a hoarse voice:

"Get aboard."

"Let's go, newbie!!"

On the dock, a Black Whale Gang leader waved and called out sharply.

Immediately afterwards, the siren made a shushing gesture and suddenly called out:
"By the way, little crow, remember, on the ship, we must not open our eyes or use our sensory abilities until we are given the order!"

"Everyone who opens their eyes will only see death!"

"I can't open my eyes..." The little crow swallowed a mouthful of water, took out a strip of black cloth, and completely covered its eyes.

She carefully stepped over the gunwale and then closed her eyes.

The moment she closed her eyes, her senses vanished at an incredibly fast speed.

The light disappeared, the sense of touch became weak, and even the sensation of hot and cold, and even the perception of time, were disappearing at an extremely fast speed.

The little crow was sweating profusely. She vaguely felt that she heard the roars of countless monsters and that she had stepped through muddy black soil and over long steps.

After an unknown amount of time, accompanied by the long, resounding sound of waves, a voice rang out.

"Alright, everyone, open your eyes!"

Finally... the little crow tore off the strip of cloth in front of it and suddenly opened its eyes.

In an instant, a massive black pirate base appeared before her eyes.

At the same time, it was accompanied by a powerful sense of disparity, chaos, bloodshed, and oppression—

The little crow slowly looked around; the Black Whale Gang's officers had all gathered together.

This is a place resembling a large cave, with numerous bonfires burning continuously, and on both sides, there is a row of huge monster statues.

In addition, there are thousands of pirates located in this pirate base.

Among them were long-lost pirates, high-ranking naval officers, and renowned adventurers...

However, these people are currently just lowly crew members at this base.

Upon arriving at the base, the Black Whale Pirates' true pirate nature was finally revealed, and they started chatting.

"Finally at the base! I've completed so many missions this time, even without a legendary class card, a forbidden artifact reward shouldn't be a problem!"

"Dream on! In the end, your fleet will just become fuel for Campfire Energy Company!"

"Quiet!"

A superhuman dressed in a blood-stained robe with two long swords at his waist interrupted the crowd.

In an instant, the vast base fell silent.

The Black Whale Gang's Edge - The Legendary Blood Hunter of the Blademaster.

"Me!" The little crow swallowed hard. In legend, the Blood Hunter would kill all traitors.

And she is a traitor in disguise!
At this moment, the little crow had to clench its chest to slow its heartbeat.

The Blood Hunter exhaled a breath of blood:
"In this perilous tide, everyone! Welcome to Whale Island! Father Whale, according to the rules of the Black Whale Gang, you will be rewarded and given new missions!"

As he spoke, the Blood Hunter's gaze involuntarily fell upon the little raven.

Father Whale… The little raven slowly raised its head and looked at the huge figure on the throne.
