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

Chapter 241 Welcome to the Territory of the Deep Sea Monster

The Sea God Pirates!
The Flower Witch held her breath underwater, huddled together, trying to avoid being discovered.

Chen Qi pulled his foot back, raised his head, and looked at the captain of the Sea God Pirate Crew's warship.

The other person had seaweed-like green hair, wore round-framed glasses, had a long braid, and was holding a book of tentacles.

Of course, what is most eye-catching is his pair of green, snake-like vertical pupils; he is the captain of the patrol boats near the Sea God Pirate Crew.

A third-tier spiritual energy field, a book image, a mage, the book in his hand is his core weapon, although his eyes are like snakes, his appearance is surprisingly serious... Chen Qi probed the other party's true strength.

A mediocre level of ability.

At that moment, the captain of the Sea Serpent Pirate Crew glanced at the ship behind Chen Qi and said excitedly:

"Brother, it's Thursday today, the weather's nice. You seem to be entangled by tentacles, aren't you? Feeling weak all over and your limbs are limp. Give me 500,000 coins! I'll get you out! And I'll throw in a bottle of moisturizing cream!"

The tentacle grass isn't very powerful; its main function is to control the plant for one minute.

A one-minute control effect costs 500,000 coins!
This familiar feeling of being a fellow traveler! This familiar Witch Sea style!

Chen Qi couldn't contain his excitement.

As a small boat captain who has traveled all over the country, he has never encountered one of the characteristics of the Witch Sea: extortion and robbery!
On the Witch's Sea, when two unrelated ships of similar strength meet, they generally do not engage in battle.

However, if the two ships get too close, the stronger ship will inevitably demand some 'friction fee' from the weaker ship.

The same goes for the Sea God Pirates; although the seas they control are known as the Crazy Sea, by day it is a scenic place.

Furthermore, they also have a tourism business, allowing merchants, adventurers, hunters, and mechanics to reside on their islands.

Furthermore, due to the unique geographical environment of Poseidon Island, the Poseidon Islands would be an excellent base for the White Tower Federation to enter the Witch Sea.
Therefore, their islands will not only have people from the Bei Kingdom, but also visitors from the White Tower Federation.

In order to maintain the island's reputation and recruit new members, the Sea God Pirates generally do not launch proactive attacks unless the ships are from hostile forces.

However, the fact that they can't make money through robbery doesn't mean they can't make money through 'saving people'.

After reviewing the bounty poster and confirming that Chen Qi was a harmless and good person:

"Welcome from afar, let me tell you, these tentacles are incredibly vicious! If we don't save you soon, you might be entangled and strangled to death!"

"You want 500,000 shell coins just to deal with this rotten grass?"

Chen Qi made a complaint, showing absolutely no intention of paying.

When talking to pirates, there's no need for politeness.

Ultimately, these tentacle plants just stick to him and don't cause any real harm.

The sea serpent frowned and said condescendingly:

“You are weak all over now. Without us, how will you break free from the tentacles? We are your saviors.”

"roll!"

Chen Qi pulled his foot away without hesitation, breaking free from the tentacles, and then kicked those thick, fat tentacles hard.

One kick! And then another vicious, powerful kick!
Through Chen Qi's practice, he has discovered that when facing the sea beasts that keep attacking him, as long as he acts ruthless and merciless enough, he can succeed!

These sea creatures that stick to the ground will still obediently run away!
"?"

Captain Sea Serpent immediately shouted:
"Don't kick it! This is the tentacle grass from the Laughing Moon Queen; it will go berserk!"

"What did you say? I can't hear you!"

Without hesitation, Chen Qi delivered another powerful kick to the tentacle grass.

The sea serpent said in terror:
"Stop! You'll provoke their anger—"

However, by the time he said it, it was too late!

Clang! Clang!
One by one, the tentacles turned bright red and suddenly awoke from the sea, giving the sea serpent a huge beating.

He kicked you? Why are you hitting me? Captain Sea Serpent was completely taken aback.

Then, a terrifying forest of tentacles suddenly rose from the ground and angrily rushed towards the warship, binding all the dozen or so people on board!
Moreover, in an act of rage, these tentacles wrapped tightly around the ten people from head to toe, frantically absorbing their spiritual energy.

"Tortoise shell binding, the binding is quite professional..." Chen Qi couldn't help but mutter, turning around to look at the Flower Witch hiding in the water.

Ok……

On the surface of the water, tiny bubbles were rising, and a small, frightened black flower floated on the water—

Fortunately, Fen wasn't accidentally injured by the angry tentacle grass... Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief, signaled Fen to run away quickly, drew his black knife, and leaped onto the deck.

"help me……"

Captain Sea Serpent struggled to reach out from the encirclement of tentacles.

As a pirate who had taken 'deep-sea protective fluid', he never expected that he would be attacked by his own trap!
He was firmly bound by the tentacles, and his energy rapidly declined.

Chen Qi, carrying the black knife, walked over and said considerately:

"Hi, do you need help?"

"Yes, of course we need it..."

The sea serpent said in a choked voice.

Chen Qi patted the plump tentacle:
"Rescue fee: 500,000 shells. Ten people, 5 million. I'll give you a 12% discount! Let's make it 6 million shells!"

How much? A discount? Six million shell coins!
Captain Sea Serpent's eyes widened in surprise.

Damn it, as expected, no one who comes to their Seagod Island is a good person!

Chen Qi smiled and said, "When dealing with pirates, the pirate's way is the most suitable."

"Want it?"

Chen Qi slapped the fat tentacle.

"want!"

"swear."

Chen Qi added a sentence.

The members of the Sea God Pirate Crew are all loyal followers of the Sea Goddess.

They will not break the vow made beneath the skirt of the sea goddess.

In their eyes, the sea goddess and the ancient deep-sea beings are beings that cannot be defied!

"I swear! Under the witness of the sea goddess, I will pay! And afterwards, I will express my sincere gratitude to you!"

Not bad... Chen Qi patted the tentacle plants again.

At this moment, the tentacle plants saw Chen Qi approaching him again, and slowly twisted, placing these people in front of him.

That's about it... Chen used the back of the black sword, gathered his strength, and slapped the tentacle grass hard.

boom!
"Go down!"

Chen spoke in a commanding tone.

Accompanied by a powerful gust of wind, these tentacles he hated instantly twisted and hid in the seabed.

boom! boom! boom!
The members of the Sea God Pirate Crew were also ruthlessly abandoned on the ground.

The suffocating feeling of the sea serpent captain finally subsided. He abruptly picked up the book of tentacles and, in an ancient language, murmured a simple word:

"Silence!"

With a simple word, the Book of Tentacles began to flip rapidly, and the tentacles underwater instantly fell silent.

The Book of Tentacles, a book specifically designed to manipulate tentacle plants, is a very useful and powerful weapon within the Sea God Pirate Crew.

Captain Sea Serpent knelt on the ground, wanting to punch Chen Qi, but then he couldn't help but remember his promise:

"thank you."

You're thanking me? Chen Qi walked over and rubbed his fingers together: "No need, just give me the money!"

Captain Sea Serpent was stunned for a long time. He gritted his teeth, took out his backpack card, and kept rummaging through it. He counted his money and found that he only had four million!

"Let's add ten wriggling shadows to make up the difference."

Chen Qi thought for a moment, then said with a smile.

The Wriggling Shadow is a rare and valuable item. When combined with the twisted tentacle threads of the Sea God Pirates, it can be used to create the powerful amulet 'Tentacle's Protection'.

The opponent is a third-tier transcendent being, and he must have killed quite a few shadow monsters last night.

This item is worth 300,000 shell coins, but currently, there is no unified market price.

Moreover, if his next profession is the lamplighter, he could completely take an unorthodox path, which is to become a monster in shadow form.

Generally speaking, due to the nature of the Lantern Keeper profession, the correct skill tree relies on the Scale of Understanding to learn various light skills in order to block monsters in the darkness and farm skill points.

However, there is actually another pretty good idea: abandon specializing in light-based skills and instead practice dual cultivation, learning a small number of shadow-based skills to use shadows to fight shadows.

The lighthouse keepers, who were originally responsible for protecting others in the darkness, will be transformed into monsters that reap lives.

The Lantern Keeper of the Monster Shadow School not only possesses strong nighttime survival abilities, but also extremely powerful attack capabilities.

However, to pursue this style, one needs a keen eye for photography and a wealth of photographic resources.

When Chen Qi reached the second stage, he gained the comprehension of imagery.

The darkness of the Witch Sea produces a wealth of photographic resources.

"This path is feasible..." Chen Qi concluded.

"I cannot break my oath..." The sea serpent gritted its teeth, took out the box containing the writhing shadow, and handed it to Chen Qi.

A good haul... Chen Qi happily accepted the money and the box.

Immediately afterward, the sea serpent, realizing what was happening, questioned:
"Outsider, what brings you here?"

Chen Qi pulled out his Tier 2 Hunter Certificate:
"I am a hunter. Recently, war has broken out. I heard that the Bloodblade Pirates and the Black Whale Pirates are fighting fiercely, while the Sea God Pirates are also recruiting hunters..."

There might be some good business opportunities here!

"Also, I contracted sea monster disease and was abandoned by the navy, so I came here to seek a cure from the sea goddess..."

Hunters from the Hunter Association are especially popular in dangerous places like Poseidon Island.

His identity as a hunter, coupled with his marine mammal disease, led to his abandonment by the navy and his search for medicine...

With just one sentence, Chen Qi instantly stacked the identity buff to its maximum!

Without saying a word, Chen Qi took off his clothes, revealing his strong muscles and the spider-shaped blue pattern on his back muscles.

"Join our Sea God Pirate Crew?"

The sea serpent blinked and swallowed a mouthful of water.

There's no better blue spider-shaped pattern than this ticket to the Sea God Pirates!!

In the Sea God Pirate Crew, the Sea Beast Disease is not a disease, but a sacred blessing!

After bowing to the tentacle plants on the seabed, he said:

"Alright! Guest, no problem. Tell me your name. Once we verify your identity, you can join us. Until then, you can stay on Poseidon Island..."

Entering the territory of the Sea God Pirates was surprisingly easy… Chen Qi muttered to himself.

He got up in the morning, returned to his ship, and silently gazed at the distant sea.

This is a good place for development.

I hope that when we meet again, my strength will far surpass that of Fen... Chen Qi looked at Fen underwater, then at the reef where he and the Flower Witch had made their promise, lowered the small houseboat, and then followed the warship into the port of Poseidon Island.

After Chen Qi left, the Flower Witch poked her head out of the water.

I also need to have the ability to protect others... Fen held Water Sprite No. 2, her eyes filled with complex emotions, and looked towards the distant Dawn.

……

……

The battle between the Bloodblade Pirates and the Black Whale Pirates has dragged on for a long time, while the Navy, due to the attack on Campfire Energy Company, has directed all its anger towards Poseidon Island.

The Navy has sworn that if the Sea God Pirates do not return the materials to Campfire Energy Company, they will inevitably face the flames of war from Brahma!
Meanwhile, Campfire Energy Company will also be sending out its latest Destroyer Mechs!
An impending war has filled the civilian population with dread, but at this moment, the people of Poseidon Island are beaming with joy, as if they have already defeated the navy.

All of this is because of yesterday's Smiling Moon. After that crimson moonlight, the sea monsters' strength increased dramatically!
In their view, this was a blessing from the gods, and soon they would receive the protection of the sea goddess.

"The Sea God Pirate Crew is developing quite well."

Chen Qi looked around and praised.

Poseidon Island boasts a lighthouse built of stone pillars, numerous tentacle plant traps in the surrounding waters, and a thousand powerful turrets on the beach.

Captain Sea Serpent laughed smugly:
"That's natural. The power we, the Sea God Pirates, possess is beyond your imagination."

"Come on, since you're from the Hunter Association, you should know that the Hunter Association's rules apply to us hunters and pirates on Seagod Island as well."

Captain Sea Serpent warmly welcomes Morning Start.

In fact, their leader originally had a plan to recruit a hunter group.

The hunters of the Hunter Association are a powerful group of desperate criminals.

Now, the hunter groups of the White Tower Federation, as well as many wild hunter groups, have agreed to help fight against the Navy's wrath.

Captain Sea Serpent led Chen Qi into a bar, which resembled the Hunter Association's mission hall.

There are numerous bounty missions on the wall.

Vice Admiral, Fenrir, Flower Witch, Level 3 employee of Bonfire Energy Company...

The bar was packed with people, consisting of roughly 50% pirates, 30% Belial hunters, and 20% White Tower Federation hunters.

The quality was also quite high, with a total of over three hundred people, including ten third-tier hunters!

The reason there are so many high-quality hunters is because of their bounties.

In addition to the regular coins, the rewards also include contribution points.

Contribution points can be exchanged for special items, and these special items are far more valuable than the rewards from the Black Mine City Hunter Association.

Flesh and blood suits, skeletal armor, adorable sea mud pets, rare card prototypes, and the Book of Liberation...

These are all good things for third-tier transcendents to improve their strength.

Captain Sea Serpent smiled:
"See that? The strength of our Sea God Pirate Crew is enough to attract powerful hunters. I really don't know how those marines dare to declare war on us!"

Such strong self-confidence… Chen Qi thought to himself:

"Captain, it is extremely dangerous to rely on these disloyal mercenaries to defeat the united navy and the war mechs of Campfire Energy Company."

"Oh?" Captain Sea Serpent didn't refute, but smiled and said:
"Yes, it's a choice made out of necessity. Not everyone has faith in the Goddess of the Sea, and the Sea God Pirate Crew has a limited number of loyalists. But ultimately, we need a group of people to stand in our way before we create our perfect creation."

"As long as someone stands in our way and holds out for a little while, we can win a great victory when they arrive! And we can reward them handsomely."

They… Chen Qi blinked.

Captain Sea Serpent smiled mysteriously and said to Chen Qi:

"Welcome to the territory of the deep-sea monsters, hunter from afar. Take a look, our shop, specially set up for monsters, do you have anything you want?"

Chen Qi walked over and looked at the contribution point shop on the wall.

Werewolf class card, Creeping Shadow Touch, Flower Aberration Potion...

Suddenly, a blank card emanating black energy came into his view.
