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

Chapter 256 Seven Supernovas!
She might have discovered my identity... The Flower Witch Fen's heart started pounding.

The hunter before me was dressed in a white hunter's uniform, but it was not the uniform of the White Tower hunters; it looked more like clothing related to the navy.

Finn is currently located at a mobile dock, where most of the hunters are bounty hunters eager for the reward money!

On the high seas, she is a top-priority wanted criminal.

In short! We absolutely must not expose ourselves!

Fen's heart was beating faster and faster, and for a moment, she didn't know what to do.

Due to her nervousness, even the droopy little flower on her head couldn't help but stir restlessly.

The white-haired girl before him leaned forward slightly and asked again, her voice as cold as a robot's:
"What's wrong? Is it not okay?"

She's testing me! Fen struggled to control her trembling body, forced a smile, and then used her left hand to press down on her restless little flower.

"uh-huh?"

The white-haired girl moved forward again, and at this moment, the distance between her and the other person was only three fingers' width.

What should I do? Should I try to get behind her and knock her unconscious with a chop to the neck? And then what? Fen kept thinking.

At that moment, Fen's body trembled slightly as she sensed the white-haired girl's spiritual energy field!
It was a terrifying spiritual energy field that appeared calm as a river, but once you came into contact with it, it became as turbulent as the ocean, incredibly powerful!

It may seem small, but it is actually vast!
What immense spiritual power!
This is a special aura that can only be cultivated by constantly restraining one's spiritual power from a young age.

Damn it, I don't think I can beat them... Finn kept thinking:

"that……"

"Ok?"

The white-haired girl did not answer, but silently took a step forward.

She was exceptionally determined, like a giant white tiger about to devour Fen!
Fen took a sudden step back. She had a strong feeling that if she didn't expose her face, the other party would definitely not let her go easily.

Moreover, for some reason, Finn's intuition told her that the other party was several times stronger than her!
What should I do? Fen could already feel the white-haired girl's cold yet powerful aura.

Bang!

Suddenly, the sound of a bottle breaking came from Fen's little boat house.

Clang! Clang!
The sound of breaking glass echoed from inside the ship!
"uh-huh?"

The white-haired female hunter instinctively bent down, turned her head, and looked into the houseboat.

Finn's houseboat was small, consisting of a bed, a potion-making table, a potion-making crucible, and a shelf full of potion bottles.

Beside the window, there was a flowerpot filled with small yellow flowers, adding a touch of charm to the houseboat.

On the spilled potion stains on the ground, a small, green water sprite wearing a flower hat looked sad.

"Uuuuuu——"

Deep Sea Sprite II was sweeping up the debris on the ground with a small broom.

"Green, a water sprite?"

The white-haired girl blinked, looking curious.

Number Two, well done! You'll be rewarded with flower jelly later! Taking the opportunity, the Flower Witch Fen removed the flowers from her head.

"Yes, sir, this is my little helper at the pharmacy. What's wrong?"

Then, Finn stared at the white-haired girl, silently lifting her cloak to reveal her colorful eyes, her long, smooth, willow-leaf-like hair, and a few scars on her face—

The white-haired girl turned around and said:

"It's alright, my friend also keeps a water sprite, but it's blue..."

Then, her gaze couldn't help but linger on Fen's face.

Staring at Fen's appearance, the white-haired girl couldn't help but be stunned, like an ice sculpture, staring intently for a long time without looking away—

Why are you still staring at me? Am I that pretty? Or have you discovered something? Finn pulled down her cloak and asked curiously:

"What's wrong, sir? Is there something on my face?"

"No, it's just that I feel..."

The white-haired girl paused for a moment, then said sincerely:
"You smell so good."

"Ugh?"

Fen took a step back timidly.

An rubbed her eyes. For the past few days, she had been on the high seas, fighting sea monsters and killing pirates who didn't know their own mortality.

The ocean has a strong fishy smell, and also a bloody smell—

Ann hadn't smelled such a fragrant scent in a long time. The last time she smelled this medicinal fragrance was in the Flower and Herb Tower inside the White Tower Federation Wisdom University.

Therefore, she couldn't help but smell it a few more times.

It seems they haven't noticed my identity... After confirming that everything was alright, Finn picked up the newspaper from the ground.

Fen looked down at the newspaper, her pupils contracting.

In the newspaper, the column "#Supernovas of the New Era#" prominently featured seven supernovas of the ocean.

And the last one on this list is written in bold, bright red characters:

"Hunter of deep-sea monsters, gentle yet icy hunter, An!"

Above, there is also a photo of the other person's back, with white hair and an agile figure. He stands on a small boat, calmly battling a sea dragon covered in black scales amidst a storm...

This person is undoubtedly the white-haired hunter before us!

However, compared to Anne's appearance in the newspaper, the female hunter in front of him had more blood on her body, and half of her hair had been shaved off, turning into shoulder-length, slightly messy white short hair.

In the newspaper, Hunter Ann's battle record was extremely impressive. She single-handedly defeated many powerful sea monsters such as the Black Ship Sea Dragon, the Black Fire Thunderbird, the Whirlpool Beast, and the Black Boar Shark.

He once single-handedly defeated four third-tier superhumans from the Black Whale Gang.

In addition, she hunted down many 'deep-sea monsters' who claimed to be inheritors of the Azure Beast, especially those extraordinary individuals who were out of control and in a monstrous state, who were her primary targets.

At the very bottom of the report, according to an interview with reporter Lilith, Hunter Anne's short-term goals are to capture the Black Hunter, the Flower Witch, and the recently appeared Blade Witch.

"Were they specifically targeting the two of us?" Finn couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"A monster hunter among the third-tier transcendents, An..."

An realized that the other person recognized her and said:
"Hello, shop manager, don't panic, I'm just an ordinary rookie hunter."

I also want to stay calm, but you look like you want to eat me alive... Fen thought to herself helplessly.

According to the newspaper, he is a seemingly gentle but actually ruthless and dangerous hunter who will stop at nothing for the bounty!
In the newspapers, she kills pirates and monsters without a trace of emotion.

Ann briefly introduced herself, then her gaze fell on the medicine shelf:
"Manager, I suffered some minor injuries during the battle, and I need medicine to treat cold injuries."

"Ok."

Fen went into the boathouse, carefully selected several items, and took out a bottle of red potion:

"Cold-curing potion, 10,000 shell coins."

"Ten thousand shell coins?"

An asked coldly, "A bottle of cold injury healing potion costs 10,000 shell coins, which is a rather high price."

Finn proudly explained:
"My potion is at least 20% stronger than those on the market, and it works immediately!"

"Take effect immediately?" An thought for a moment, then took out a gold coin:
"Give me a bottle."

"Ok!"

Finn was taken aback; since there was no flag, this was her first big deal.

Then, An took the medicine, drank it down, and felt a warm current flowing through her body.

It tastes delicious, like a gentle spring breeze... An nodded contentedly.
"Manager, thank you for your potion."

After treating his injuries, An straightened his hunter's clothes, then his gaze involuntarily fell on the newspaper in Fen's hand:

"Miss shopkeeper, could I borrow your newspaper to take a look? I haven't bought a new newspaper yet."

"no problem……"

Fen handed the newspaper to the other party.

Ann unfolded the newspaper, examined it carefully, and her cold eyes couldn't help but light up:
"Hagrid of the Sea God Pirates, the young master of the Steam Hand, the Flower Witch, the Blade Witch, and the Black Hunter..." When reading about the Black Hunter and the Witch, An's cold expression finally showed a slight change.

An gripped the newspaper tightly and said coldly:
"As expected, the Black Hunter and the Witch are still alive..."

"Yes."

Fen echoed.

Ann closed the newspaper and asked confidently:

"Manager, tell me, if one day I encounter the Black Hunter and the Flower Witch, can I hunt them down?"

Hunting sea monsters is An's goal.

Although it was a question, Fen could hear a kind of confidence in An's words, a strong confidence formed from years of undefeated record.

To possess such immense spiritual power at such a young age, even a teacher would consider him a genius... Fen stared blankly at An.

In an instant, she thought of her older brothers and sisters in her family, powerful, proud, and with terrifying talents that crushed their peers underfoot like towering mountains!
Fen smiled bitterly to herself and said:

"Guest, with your abilities, this should be quite easy for you."

"Um……"

An thought for a moment and said:
"I hope so. By the way, Miss Shopkeeper, have you been using the mobile dock lately?"

"Yes? What's wrong?"

An hesitated for a moment:
"Have you come across any good dining boats nearby? I'd like to improve my meals a bit lately."

A dining boat? Finn stroked her chin and replied:

"No."

"Is this so..."

An frowned, a rare sight indeed, then glanced at the newspaper one last time before steering his small steamboat away.

Finally, An disappeared from Fen's sight.

"A monster..." Finn sighed deeply.

Following Xiaoyue, those previously dormant powerhouses also began to operate on the sea.

Fen lowered her head, looking at the newspaper reports about her and Chen Qi, and couldn't help but recall the white-clad hunter from earlier.

If Chen Qi were to encounter her, he would surely die.

I need to get stronger as soon as possible. I hope nothing bad happens to Chen Qi... Fen thought to herself, then went into the boathouse and began to refine the potion needed to enter the B-rank rift.

……

……

Poseidon Island, ghost ship, bedroom.

Click, click——

Chen Qi cut a Firebird Heart cooked with ghost peppers into pieces with a knife, then sprinkled more chili powder on top.

The Heart of the Skyfire Bird was a rare material he purchased from the black market on Poseidon Island for a full million shell coins.

With the help of Chen Qi's extraordinary cooking and the soul seasoning, after consuming the Heart of the Heavenly Firebird, he can directly gain medium fire resistance, thus qualifying him to learn the Dark Flame Fist.

He gently sprinkled the chili powder on!

The entire heart of the Skyfire Bird burst into flames!

If it's not controlled immediately, the whole bedroom will burn down!
Eat it and you'll become stronger! Without hesitation, Chen Qi opened his mouth and ate all the Firebird hearts on the table in pieces.

A burning pain shot through the tip of the tongue, and the Adam's apple twitched. Soon, the essence of the Heavenly Firebird was digested and then rapidly spread throughout the body.

Suddenly, Chen Qi felt a surge of hot air rising from his abdomen, which then spread throughout his body, as if every part of his body was on fire.

Almost there... Chen Qi immediately circulated his energy and adjusted his entire body. As his energy continued to flow, his body gradually adapted to this terrifying frenzy.

call--

call----

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Qi finally exhaled a mouthful of scorching hot flames!

[You have consumed the Heart of the Skyfire Bird. Your Strength +2, and you have gained moderate burning resistance!]

Fortunately, I am a chef, which greatly reduces the difficulty of eating the Firebird's heart... Chen Qi wiped his mouth, and the burning sensation in his body gradually dissipated, returning to calm.

At that moment, Water Sprite Number Three, carrying a stack of newspapers, hopped and skipped in.

"Wakuwaku (Master! Today's newspaper!)"

"Thank you, Number Three..."

After watering the little yellow flower in the morning, Chen Qi sat on the edge of the bed, opened the newspaper, and checked today's news.

"Seven Supernovas! Monsters of the New Era!"

"A clash between Poseidon and the Navy! A naval battle between two legends!"

"The Moon of Laughter descends, a B-rank rift surges forth! A B-rank rift, the City of Flowers!"

"The Black Hunter has reappeared in the world, but what is his purpose in coming here?!"

"The Secret of the Deep Blue Flame! Monster Hunter Ann, the Battle Against the Azure Beast Hagrid!"

……

Chen Qi glanced at the newspaper briefly.

Because of Xiaoyue's appearance, the entire ocean was filled with news.

Dozens of pages of newspapers couldn't contain the news about the Witch Sea.

With so many major events that allow players to complete their professional quests, the legendary profession of 'Reporter' in the White Dove Times is truly blessed... Chen Qi thought to himself.

Chen Qi's gaze quickly settled on the 'seven supernovas'.

With the arrival of the B-rank rift, it will no longer be impossible for extraordinary individuals who have not joined extraordinary organizations to advance to the legendary level.

The birth of a legend will directly affect the entire landscape of the Witch Sea!

Who can advance to the Legendary level, and who will advance to the Legendary level? These are questions that countless people are concerned about.

The Supernovas are seven Tier 3 powerhouses selected by the White Dove Times newspaper based on data. Simply put, they are monsters with the potential to advance to Legendary status, and the strongest Tier 3 among the seven Witches!
Compared to the legends who rarely make an impact, people are more interested in these active supernovas.

Chen Qi was no exception; he scanned the list.

"I'm on the list... " Chen Qi was secretly startled, because of the previous events, he had also been included in the list of supernovas.

Besides these, there were four other people he knew: Finn, the Flower Witch; Little Red Riding Hood, the Blade Witch; Hagrid of the Sea God Pirates; and Ann, the Hunter…

An actually made it to the Supernova! Chen Qi was taken aback.

Chen Qi didn't know much about the Witch Sea, but An Aotian, logically speaking, shouldn't have appeared on the sea so early.

Why did An set sail so early?
Judging from the news, Teacher An's activity frequency and achievements even surpass those of Little Red Riding Hood of the Blood Blade Pirates.

Chen Qi shook his head. The current trajectory of the entire Witch Sea had completely exceeded his expectations.

Chen Qi continued reading.

In addition, there are two supernovas.

The nobleman of the Steam Hand, Dia, the mechanic who owns a sea mech, and the money hunter under the command of Dr. Black Death of the Black Whale Gang.

Among them, the mechanic Dia comes from the Steam Hand and has the combat power to repel two pirate ships single-handedly with his own armor; his strength is terrifying.

As for the money hunters under the Black Whale Gang, Chen Qi knew very little about them, and there were very few descriptions of them in the newspapers.

The only information available was that the other party was very similar to the Blood Hunter and was a superhuman who specialized in assassination missions.

These seven Tier 3 Transcendents are the seven Transcendents with the best chance of advancing to Legendary status, as determined by the White Dove Times in conjunction with information from the Witch Sea!
The White Dove Times concluded its report by stating bluntly that if no one stops them, they will inevitably grow into a terrifying force capable of threatening the seas, just like the Ice Demon Pirates of yesteryear.

Aside from me, these six are all monsters... Chen Qi turned the page and continued reading.

Soon, a report about 'the appearance of the deep blue flame and the battle between the hunter Ann and the blue beast Hagrid' caught his eye.

A deep blue flame appeared on the surface of the sea… Chen Qi swallowed a mouthful of water and quickly glanced at it.
