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

Chapter 239 The Laughing Moon Descends, the Sea Undergoes a Strange Change

They're a good match... Fen's eyes flickered slightly, wanting to see Chen Qi's back.

However, considering that there were outsiders present, the elegant woman held back.

If the Sea God Pirates didn't know that the Touch of Ember was equipment for Deepsea Hunters, they could join the Sea God Pirates simply by looking at the sea beast pattern on Dawn's back, without even needing to pass any tests.

"Hmm...you are indeed quite suitable."

Jin Li raised her head and looked at Chen Qi's attire and the tentacles behind him.

Judging from his appearance alone, it's a real waste of his talent that he didn't join the Sea God Pirate Crew as a minor leader or become the captain of a pirate ship!
Chen Qi couldn't help but recall all the information about the Sea God Pirate Crew.

In fact, joining the Sea God Pirate Crew and rising from a lowly pirate to a captain, or from a novice believer to the high priest within the crew, offers quite promising prospects.

The Sea God Pirates are actually a very resource-rich pirate crew. They are based in the region with the most dense rifts in the Rift Sea and have mastered a special style of berserk combat.

However, their biggest problem is that they are crazy.

In short, the Sea God Pirates are all about madness: going berserk, growing strange body parts, gender transformation, getting high, poisonous mushrooms, and potions that turn you into a cat...

In the eyes of the Sea God Pirate Crew, these things are nothing as long as they can make them stronger!
Therefore, the Sea God Pirate Crew possesses many powerful, crazy, and reckless playstyles. After the arrival of Laughing Moon, the rampage of Shadow Fiend led the Sea God Pirate Crew to develop the Shadow Fiend boosting playstyle!
If we disregard the issues of brain damage, mutations, a bunch of crazy pirates who only believe in strength, and a bunch of sea monster protectionists, the Sea God Pirates are actually a pretty promising pirate crew.

Upgrading and acquiring new equipment are his primary goals right now.

The Sea God Pirate Crew's deep blue flames, berserk style, extremely brutal enhancement surgeries, and mad methods all align with his goals.

Chen Qi raised an eyebrow:
"Yes, next I will go to the Sea God Pirate Crew to study their technology and try to find the legendary witch's relic. After all, with my current strength, if I don't improve it, I'm afraid I'll be ganged up on and killed."

"You were beaten to death by a group of people?"

Jin Li's lips curled up, revealing a suspicious look in her eyes.

Although it was only a clone that exchanged a few blows with Chen Qi, in Jin Li's eyes, Chen Qi still had some strength.

Chen Qi crossed his arms and said quite seriously:

"Times have changed. Without absolute strength, in the future, not only might I be ganged up on and beaten to death, but you, Mr. Jinli, will probably be beaten to death repeatedly on the high seas."

Beneath the rift tides, the number of Tier 3 transcendents is increasing, and some Tier 2 transcendents who have been stagnant for a long time will display terrifying destructive power after advancing to Tier 3.

Meanwhile, in the Witch Sea 2.0 version after the arrival of the Laughing Moon, Shadow Fiend will also show extremely terrifying dominance. Under the waves, Jinli, who has the ability to randomly teleport, will kill one person after another.

Merchants like Deepsea Merchant and Jinli, who were once difficult to defeat, will become key treasure chest monsters that pirate ships pay special attention to because their strength can no longer keep up with the version.

"You think I'll be beaten to death? Are you sure?"

Jin Li's smile faded.

"Yes, your number of deaths will conservatively exceed several hundred..." Chen Qi explained mysteriously.
"Based on my intuition as a fortune teller, I even feel that you may be facing the danger of death."

"what are you saying?"

A glint of invincible confidence flashed in Jin Li's eyes. In her opinion, she could use money to buy more resurrection opportunities, so even if a legendary figure attacked, she would not die.

Qi is right! Fen chimed in:
"According to my dream, in the days to come, even legends will not have the power to survive safely. Improving one's strength is the top priority."

Miss Jin Li, you are a traveling merchant, please be very careful.

It seems like the Flower Witch is biased towards the Black Hunter… Jin Li revealed a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

As the successor of the Ice Witch, shouldn't she hate deep-sea monsters to the core and maintain the highest level of vigilance against these strange-looking creatures?
Chen Qi asked:

"So, Fen, will you come with me?"

The Flower Witch closed her eyes, lost in hesitation.

Chen Qi is different from her; his true appearance has not yet been revealed to the public, and he can switch identities at any time.

Although the Sea God Pirate Crew has many valuable items, her primary goal is to settle some old and new grudges and create a Sage-level potion to digest the Tier 4 class card; that's her top priority right now.

After a long silence, the Flower Witch whispered:

"I can't follow you. Right now, joining the Sea God Pirates would only be a burden..."

The Flower Witch is not a burden, but the resources required for their two advancement paths are vastly different.

If they act together, it will inevitably lead to the other party's promotion being slower.

Chen Qi doesn't have an urgent need for the Flower Witch right now, but if he can get enough medicinal herbs from the Sea God Pirate Crew, then he will definitely need the Flower Witch's help.

Within the Sea God's Guild, there are many medicinal herbs that can enhance one's abilities.

Then, they were apart for a while.

Chen Qi gave the Flower Witch a deep look and said with a smile:

"Ok, I know."

At this moment, Fen said earnestly:
"By the way, the waters ahead are very dangerous, we need to have a way to contact each other."

Given her previous experience of not being able to find Chenqi, Fen paid special attention to this this time.

We absolutely must get Chenqi's contact information!
"To make contact, we need a radio, and ideally, a designated temporary base..." Chen Qi said.
"let me see."

These two seem to have such a good relationship... Jin Li adjusted her round-framed glasses, flipped through her highly-rated special products sold to couples, and fell into thought.

This seems like a business opportunity!
No! Jinli! This must be a mistake. This might be the Flower Witch deliberately showing her vulnerable side to manipulate the Black Hunter...

You know, if the Ice Witch knew that her apprentice had such a close relationship with such a strange hunter, she would definitely climb out of her coffin and teach them a lesson!
Strange flowers occasionally sprout from the Flower Witch's head? These might be the flower-like objects that emit hypnotic perfume and control the Black Hunters!
Jin Li put her things away, silently imagining what might have happened, then smiled and said:

"Gentlemen, does either of you want my contact information? It's only 50,000 shell coins."

Fen's eyes lit up, and she looked at Jin Li and said quite seriously:

"Can you make it cheaper? I'll have two!"

……

……

On the vast sea, the sun and moon spun erratically, and before anyone knew it, several dozen days had passed.

Late at night, the Bloodblade Pirates, at the shipyard.

The petite ship repairman, Little Ami, relentlessly bombards Chen Qi's ghost ship with her six mechanical fists.

"Ola Ola Ola Ola Ola!"

boom!
As Little Euler continued his beating, green runes appeared on the hull of the ghost ship. The runes then quickly condensed, forming a spiritual energy barrier comparable to steel!

"Ola!!!!"

With a loud punch, Little Ami's mechanical arm broke off.

What an imposing protective barrier!

Little Ami looked surprised:
"What a powerful engine! Mr. Hunter, the defensive barrier of your ghost ship has been modified! Even the coastal overlords can only look at your barrier and tremble in fear."

"Thank you very much, young boat repairman."

Chen Qi walked up and glanced at his brand-new ghost ship.

In return, the Bloodblade Pirates remodeled his ship free of charge.

Furthermore, the Bloodblade Pirates spared no expense in acquiring materials, incurring significant losses.

In terms of craftsmanship, products from the Steam Hand and special runes from the B-grade hammer phase crack 'Unbreakable Wall' under the control of the Shield of the Kingdom of Bey were selected.

This rune possesses extremely strong water resistance and spiritual energy reduction properties, combining great strength with exceptional durability.

At the same time, when fully deployed, it can provide 360-degree defense without blind spots, resisting attacks from the seabed and the sky.

It can be said that even the heavy artillery of the Magic Bullet Company would not be able to break through the Ghost Ship's defensive barrier in a short period of time.

Of course, the strength of the defensive barrier depends on the ship's core, and the ghost fire engine of the Dawn's ghost ship can perfectly control this domineering barrier.

Little Ami rubbed the bridge of her nose:

"Mr. Hunter, are you leaving?"

These past few days, Chen Qi has been honing his breathing techniques with General Gale in the Bloodblade Pirate Crew's training room.

At the same time, General Gale also gave Chen Qi the blood crystal materials needed for the Blade Forging and Body Tempering Technique. Therefore, Little Ami always thought that Chen Qi might become a member of their Bloodblade Pirate Crew.

"Yes, staying any longer is not a good option."

Chen Qi jumped onto the ship and ordered Water Sprite No. 3 to start the ship's engine.

The Bloodblade Pirates are currently embroiled in war, and his presence here would only add to their burden.

Chen Qi had clearly felt that because of him and the Flower Witch, the Blood Blade Pirate Crew had faced repeated pursuit by the Hunter Crew.

The Bloodblade Pirates now need a chance to catch their breath.

Goodbye, Mr. Hunter!

Ship repairman Little Ami waved.

"Goodbye, and by the way, everyone at the shipyard, stay home tonight and don't go out to look at the moon."

"moon?"

Little Ami scratched her head and looked at the sea, which was tinged with red.

He waved goodbye at dawn.

With the roar of engines, the ship sailed out of the shipyard and headed towards the sea under the night sky.

At this moment, as he sailed towards the sea, a prompt finally appeared before his eyes.

[You have upheld the principles of the lamp, and have received the 'Lamp' bonus from the principles of the lamp.]

You will gain a certain level of danger perception. When danger is imminent, you will have stronger intuition, and the probability of having precognitive dreams and receiving special insights from cracks will increase.

[Note: This bonus will disappear when your Heart of Light dissipates.]

at last……

Chen Qi stood by the boat, enjoying the sea breeze, and couldn't help but smile.

Every person who adheres to their nature and form will receive corresponding bonuses after reaching a certain level.

The Cup phase enhances digestion and reduces the mutation rate of consuming special items; the Flower phase allows you to check the affinity of rift units; the Shadow phase can turn negative emotions into permanent buffs; the Ice phase enhances willpower; the Dice phase increases luck; and the Blade phase increases comprehension during combat…

The reward based on the unique principle of the lamp is also a fairly useful blessing.

Within the rift, it gains additional insights, while in the ordinary world, it has a chance, rather irrationally, to foresee the coming of danger.

The reward for foreseeing danger requires no inspiration or even any perception!

In a world where only one life exists, a small perception might be enough to save him from a bullet aimed directly at his brain.

That's about it, now all that's left is to wait for Fen...

After sailing to the designated location, Chen Qi instructed the crew of the Deep Sea Sprite III to stop the ship.

The ghost ship is anchored at sea.

Chen Qi stood on the deck, quietly enjoying the sea breeze, and took out the latest newspaper to read.

Over the course of the past month, Chen Qi continuously farmed Inspiration Points, leveling up Blade Breathing Technique to level 3 and gaining the additional passive skill [Blade Fury].

This passive skill enhances all attacks when the character is enraged or low on health, and keeps the body in a state of constant breathing.

The Touch of Ember can increase rage, making it a rather powerful passive skill.

In addition, there is the mastery of steel energy. Chen Qi has now reached steel energy level 3, which not only allows him to actively transform his energy into an energy force that is harder than steel, but also allows him to entwine himself with it.

In addition, he also gains the passive skill [Steel Body], which greatly increases Chen Qi's defense and, after being hit, his body will instinctively form a stronger energy protection at the injured site.

However, as a price, his inspiration points have now been reduced to zero.

Chen Qi opened the newspaper and looked up at the sky again.

When the Witch Sea 2.0 version arrives and the Laughing Moon descends, the bounty list in the White Dove Newspaper will announce the seven rising stars of the sea.

These seven rising pirates are those who, after the Rift Tide, displayed sufficient talent and strength on the high seas.

In the eyes of the White Dove Newspaper, these people all have a chance to advance to the legendary level!

As expected, he and Fen should be among them.

Soon after, Ann, unable to contain her loneliness, will apply for a hunter's license and make a name for herself at sea. With a bounty on her head, she will beat up half of the pirates on the rising star list and become a renowned monster hunter, officially beginning her path to becoming a legendary figure.

Oh, and there might even be baby crows...

However, the little crow's arrival was indeed beyond her expectations.

In the original storyline, Little Raven was a rare, inexpensive, and conscientious doctor working in an underground clinic in Moonstone City. Later in the story, she met with Dr. Black Death and gained his trust.

For a long time, she was a strange, cold-tongued doctor.

But now, Little Crow has completely deviated from its previous trajectory, becoming a member of the Black Whale Gang and a strong contender for the captaincy of the Mermaid.

Captain Blackeye, who had lost his treasured sword, according to the newspaper, accidentally obtained a piece of equipment from a deep-sea hunter while searching for Dawn, and thus regained his spirits.

In addition to these, another character who underwent significant changes is Finn...

"Qi! Qi! I'm here!"

Chen Qi lowered his head. Fen was riding in a small boat, waving and calling out to Chen Qi.

Chen Qi has limited knowledge of the characters in The Witch Sea.

However, he remembered that after the chaotic battle between the Blood Blade Pirates and the Black Whale Pirates, because the Flower Bloomed in Blood, countless members of the Blood Blade Pirates died tragically, and the Flower Witch was seriously injured and fell into deep guilt.

From then on, the Flower Witch, after the battles, became cold and ruthless, killing without blinking an eye, and unleashing her ultimate attack at the slightest provocation.

Back then, the Flower Witch possessed the domineering aura of a great protector and savior of the Witch Sea, and the Ice Witch!
Cold-blooded, ruthless, and tough—these are the words that describe the Flower Witch after the Blood Blade Pirate Gang incident.

On the high seas, it is known as the strongest rising star, and even the monster hunter An Aotian is wary of it.

As for now, well...

Chen Qi lowered his head.

The Flower Witch stood on a small boat, with a Deep Sea Sprite II above her head, its head adorned with yellow flowers, and its body was soaking wet...

And then, for some inexplicable reason, he started grinning like an idiot.

There was absolutely no sign of him turning to the dark side; in fact, he seemed even more optimistic than when we first met.

Chen Qi asked curiously:
"Fen, you fell into the water? Haven't you learned how to sail a small boat yet?"

The Flower Witch shook off the water from her body like a kitten:
"Hmm...no...I just wanted to try and see if the flower on my head could absorb seawater and become stronger."

"..."

The Flower Witch of today, apart from her stubborn mouth, has absolutely nothing to do with toughness or coldness in any part of her body.

Chen Qi leaned against the side of the boat, raised his head, and looked up at the distant sky:

"By the way, Fen, for the sake of our communication, I'm planning to choose a place at sea as our hidden home."

"Family?"

Home!
Fen was shocked. Coming from a large family, Fen was particularly sensitive to the word "family"!
The Kingdom of Golden Flower Bird is a kingdom that places great importance on family relationships.

Chen Qi said:

"Yes, a base for communication. By the way, Fen, as expected, tonight is the start of Xiaoyue. You'd better get on the ship quickly."

"Ugh?"

A ray of red light shone on their faces.

Chen Qi looked at the moon in the sky, which was turning redder and redder.

Version 2.0 of Witch Ocean has begun.
