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

Chapter 269 Deep Sea Titan. Twelve Tentacles

Outside the window, a bright red moon hangs high above the sea.

As the smiling moon rises, the shadows lurking beneath the darkness slowly rise from the sea, transforming into one floating, pitch-black phantom after another—

At the same time, Chen Qi's body also felt a powerful force, and his combat power would increase significantly in the darkness.

The significant buffs provided by the [Night Monster] skill have rejuvenated him after a night of practice.

Chen Qi could sense that, with the improvement of his physique, his physical abilities in the dark were now enough to defeat most third-tier extraordinary beings.

Even a veteran Tier 3 transcendent like Finn is now far inferior to him in terms of physical abilities.

However, even with the addition of Ember Touch and Shadow Weaving, it was still impossible to defeat top-tier transcendent beings.

Even against supernova Hagrid and Dia's mech, his chances of winning in a head-on confrontation remain slim.

Ultimately, although Chenqi's equipment and stats are good, he still lacks the skills to win.

His current method of dissecting Shewu's flesh and blood is too monotonous, and he has to endure injuries to unleash its full power, which is too dangerous.

However, the Flame Demon Shadow before them was even more dangerous than 'She Wu's Flesh and Blood'.

"An experiment must be conducted..."

Chen Qi looked at the skills of the Flame Demon Shadow, took a deep breath, and tried to mobilize this extremely dangerous power.

Phew! Phew!
Black sparks ignited from his body, then quickly burst into flames, transforming into dark fire that enveloped his entire body.

His body seemed to be torn apart and reassembled, every inch of his skin covered with dark and twisted shadow fire scales, which burned continuously, like living things, exuding a terrifying and violent aura.

These flames were incredibly brutal, containing countless rages, and the flames on Yu Chenqi's head even formed an extremely ferocious burning face, like a monster from hell.

Chen Qi could clearly feel that these dark flames, along with his spiritual power and blood, worked together to push his power beyond its limits!
call!call!
Chen Qi's eyes widened suddenly, turning bright red. In that instant, a strong desire for battle surged into his brain.

His mental state was being constantly affected by this force, decreasing and becoming increasingly agitated.

However, this frenzied aura quickly subsided...

No, to be precise, this violent aura still exists, and has even become more ferocious. However, Chen Qi is now able to calm down and completely ignore this power.

Completely ineffective, Chen Qi's spiritual sea remained as stable as Mount Tai.

That’s it?
Chen Qi smiled; he had already adapted to this incredibly frenzied power.

His talent priority can completely negate the negative effects of Flame Demon's Shadow!

When he is conscious, he can easily stop the Flame Demon's Shadow.

This means that he can completely ignore the negative effects of the Flame Demon's Shadow.

With a gentle blast of the morning air, the attempt was halted.

What he used was not a complete image interpretation, but merely a test.

True Shadow Release can only be unleashed under the influence of a strong fighting spirit or negative emotions.

A true interpretation of the film will inevitably cause a great deal of manic emotion.

However, this test also allowed Chen Qi to become familiar with this special liberation.

Chen Qi has been building a monster strategy, which is why he keeps searching for the Wriggling Shadow.

This time, comprehending the Shadow of the Flame Demon can be considered extremely lucky.

"A very fruitful harvest..."

Chen Qi took a deep breath. The golden apple, combined with his mastered core skills, elevated his strength to a new level.

If he were to face An Aotian's sneak attack again, he was even confident that he could force the opponent to unleash his power.

Chen Qi clapped his hands and looked at the bedroom, which was now a complete mess.

It seems necessary to build a new training room on the ship... Chen Qi thought to himself, then clapped his hands and changed into a new outfit.

Night has fallen, and it's time for the vigil again.

According to the map, they are now located deep within the Sea of ​​Calamity.

Along the way, they didn't encounter any natural disasters other than the Black Wave Storm, which was quite lucky... Chen Qi walked out of the room, carrying a lantern, and then jumped onto the Snake Father.

At this moment, the White Tower hunters, who had rested for a day, had recovered their strength and were gathered on the deck of the Serpent Father.

Mechanic Mary used her 'Quick Forging' skill to add a large campfire in the center of the Snake Father's deck.

Seeing Chen Qi approach, the mechanic, Little Ma Li, took a large chicken leg from the campfire, grinned foolishly, and handed it to Chen Qi:

"Lamplighter, thank you for the morning bread."

Chen Qi took the chicken leg and ate it in two bites.

"Thank you."

At this moment, Melanie, the captain of the White Tower hunters, was holding binoculars, looking worriedly at the distant horizon.

Chen Qi walked over:
"How are things? Nothing happened, right?"

Melanie frowned and said:
“Lamplighter, we’re almost there, but it will probably be very difficult for us to get to the island from here on out.”

Because of the Laughing Moon, the ships cannot extinguish their flames at night, otherwise they will be immediately attacked by the Shadow Beasts.

In other words, plans for ships to land on the island become extremely difficult at night.

Melanie shook her head:
“Lamplighter, time is too tight. We still have too little planning and intelligence. Even if we land on the island, it will be extremely dangerous for us.”

Melanie sighed.

The closer she got to the Blue Flame excavation site, the more nervous she became.

The Rift Tide of the Witch Sea is a great opportunity that has not been seen for two hundred years. For someone like her, who failed in the White Tower Federation's examination system, without the Rift Tide, she would have to work in a remote Hunter's Guild for at least twenty years to advance to the Legendary level.

The other six third-tier White Tower hunters, although also third-tier, were from ordinary families in the White Tower Federation. Fourth-tier legendary status was too far out of reach for them.

Only by constantly risking their lives in the Witch's Sea of ​​Rift Tides can they become legends and witness the true splendor of this world.

Melanie could sense that her old friend Anne was only one professional card away from becoming a legend, while her own strength was still far from sufficient.

That's why Melanie resolutely embarked on this adventure.

A cold sea breeze blew past everyone.

Melanie was troubled, but upon closer reflection, she realized she was somewhat tempted by the desire for promotion and attracted by Chen Qi's resolute attitude.

Even if they do manage to reach Blue Flame Island, obtaining the Deep Blue Flame will still be extremely difficult.

They currently have no idea about the target island's defensive capabilities, nor how many Deep Blue Flames are on the island.

Furthermore, even if they manage to obtain the Deep Blue Flame, they might still encounter an attack from Campfire Energy Company on their return journey.

Chen Qi also thought about it; he actually had some speculations about the situation on the island.

Generally speaking, the lighthouse keeper is of paramount importance to an island.

The Lantern Keeper is actually a versatile character who can both attack and support. The class's innate Lighting spell, combined with the 'Holy Light Protects You' spell commonly used by the nuns of the Winter Kingdom, can create a massive group buff.

Most of the Light Keepers are skilled in both offense and defense, and during battles they receive strict protection from other superhumans.

Therefore, if the lamplighter is killed, it means that something unusual must have happened.

At the same time, the Snake Father's actions were also unusually urgent. The route they initially chose, close to the Sea Lion III mobile dock, was a rather dangerous route.

They wouldn't choose this route unless it was an emergency.

In other words, Bluefire Island is very likely facing some trouble and urgently needs a lamplighter.

This island will need a lamplighter, and it will need the Serpent Father… Chen Qi used the Lighting Spell to enhance the light of the lantern in his hand:

“Melanie, hide the other two ships as our escape vessels. Then, put on the clothes of the former crew of the Serpent Father. We’ll disguise the Serpent Father and see if we can get close to Blue Flame’s island.”

"Disguised as the Snake Father?"

Melanie blinked, looking puzzled.

"Let's give it a try. Even if we can only camouflage ourselves to the shore, we won't be attacked by artillery."

Chen Qi thought for a moment, put on the Snake Father's cloak, and then flicked his finger lightly.

According to intelligence, there are currently no legendary figures on Blue Flame Island. Together with the White Tower Hunters, they could easily launch a swift attack and take the island by force!
At that moment, a small sea snake swam across the ocean and slowly crawled onto Chen Qi's shoulder.

This sea serpent was the Snake Father's beloved snake, but it never left the Snake Father ship after his death.

Because of his special skills, Snake Father's head resembles a snake, and he always wears the Snake Father Cloak, never showing his true face.

Those who saw his face were mostly killed by the snake father.

Therefore, many people identify the father snake by the rare Qinghai snakes raised by the father snake.

Melanie was stunned. At this moment, Chen Qi, who was wearing a dark green cloak, would probably be mistaken by many people for the Snake Father if they did not look closely.

Chen Qi explained:
"I have learned some methods for taming sea snakes."

Are you an agent? How do you have so many… Melanie nodded; she had no better options at the moment.

As a sea breeze blew by, they could see an island on the horizon, along with the dazzling lighthouse light shining from it.

Next, Melanie took out two rare invisibility cards, chose a secluded sea area, and hid the Ghost and the White Tower Hunter.

As long as no one passes through this area, the two ships can be guaranteed to be safe.

Afterwards, Melanie and the others changed into the green uniforms of the Snake Father pirates and headed to a distant island.

Whew, whiff, whiff—

Accompanied by gusts of wind, the Snake Father was only 500 meters away from the Blue Fire Island dock.

As planned, the people on Bluefire Island did not launch an attack.

However, as they approached the island, they were surprised to find that it seemed to be moving and was emitting noticeable tremors.

"earthquake?"

Chen Qi frowned involuntarily.

In this sea of ​​natural disasters, earthquakes are not uncommon.

At the docks of Bluefire Island, there were no ships, only two huge campfires, a lighthouse, and a group of pirates on night watch.

There are about fifty people, and about four of them are third-tier superhumans... Chen Qi thought to himself.

Their fighting strength is significantly greater than that of these fifty people.

If he could force his way in... Chen Qi chopped up the flesh and hid the bones under his cloak, ready to fight at any moment.

At that moment, many pirates from the Sea God Pirate Crew moved forward.

Chen Qi brought the Snake Father to shore.

He successfully made it ashore without being discovered... Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

The operation went much more smoothly than he had imagined.

At this moment, Seal, the leader of the Blue Flame Island pirate crew of the Sea God, stepped forward, holding a lantern, and looked at the Morning Departure of the Serpent Father, cursing and swearing:

"Snake Father, you actually took so long to come back! If this continues, we'll all starve to death here!"

Seal, one of the captains of the Sea God Pirate Crew, has a face that looks very much like a seal. Like Snake Father, he has mastered a special transformation release technique. At the same time, he is also very lucky.

"Are you kidding me? We're on the most dangerous route!"

Chen Qi imitated the Snake Father, speaking in a rough and indistinct voice, and led the seven White Tower Hunters off the Snake Father's ship.

The seal's eyes flashed with joy the moment it saw Chen Qi:
"How's it going? Have you managed to get a lamplighter yet? If we don't get one soon, in a few days, we might have less than a fifth of our original numbers left!"

One-fifth... Chen Qi glanced at everyone.

This island has lost four-fifths of its fighting force.
Upon closer inspection, Chen Qi could clearly see the injuries on all fifty members of the Sea God Pirate Crew.

Just as he had guessed, everyone on the island was facing a serious crisis.

It's most likely the sea monster with the difficulty level of the treasure map... Chen Qi stepped forward gently and said:

"It took a little time, but we managed to get a lamplighter."

The seal asked with a smile:

"They're not from our Seagod Island, are they? You know, they're our own Lightkeepers, we can't afford to offend them."

Chen Qi smiled:
"No."

The seal couldn't help but reveal two big white teeth, laughing loudly as it said:

"Well done! Snake Father, you actually managed to get your hands on a wild Lantern Keeper. Next, all we need to do is dig out the last of the blue flames, and then send him to the center of the island to try and snatch the item from that guy!"

Then we can head back!

The seal spreads its arms:

"In this operation, we obtained so much Deep Blue Flame. This flame is enough for Lord Hagrid to complete his advancement and the ritual of the Sea Goddess. For our achievements, I don't think it's too much for the Bishop to reward us with a Legendary Class Card!!"

"really……"

Chen Qi smiled, then glanced at the island again.

Deep within the island, there is no light at all, and you can even see some fresh corpses.

The island's defenses have completely collapsed.

At that moment, the seal asked with a smile:

"By the way, Snake Father, what about those second-tier laborers who are in charge of digging? Too many of our men have died. We're counting on those idiots to keep the digging going."

"On the high seas, we encountered an accident and ran into people from Campfire Energy Company, who were left behind..."

As Chen Qi spoke, he walked up to the seal.

The seal listened intently, and soon he realized something was wrong.

Behind the Serpent Father were actually seven third-tier powerhouses!
The Snake Father is selfish and narrow-minded; to prevent sharing the rewards with others, he would never invite so many Tier 3 warriors!
The seal immediately used his intuition to realize that he had been anticipating the snake father's support for so long that he had forgotten to check their identities.

"you……"

The seal's eyes widened in anger.

However, before he could speak, dark flames suddenly ignited on Chen Qi's fist, and he threw a punch that struck the seal's abdomen heavily.

"You're from the bonfire company!!"

The seal used the 'iron block' to withstand the blow, spat out a mouthful of blood, and immediately realized what had happened.

However, to Chen Qi's surprise, after being attacked, they did not put up any resistance, but instead fled the place quickly while shouting continuously.

"damn it!"

The seal shouted, pulling a crescent-shaped harmonica from his trousers:
"Brothers, we have failed. Call out the gods and let them feel the fear of the gods!"

"god???"

Chen Qi looked up in confusion.

Although the members of the Sea God Pirates worship some ancient monsters, the 'sea beasts' that they can call gods among themselves are still very rare.

With a mournful harmonica melody, the entire island instantly collapsed and began to rise.

Bang! Amidst the deafening wind and the darkness, it was as if a giant hand reached out and silently squeezed the lighthouse on Blue Flame Island, extinguishing it.

The next second, their Serpent Father, also shone brightly, and it fell to pieces.

boom! boom! boom!
The once brightly lit island was quickly plunged into darkness, and everyone on the island was thrown into a panic.

Chen Qi looked up and saw twelve bright red eyes staring at them in the sky, like twelve bright red moons.

"Is this the weak treasure map of the deep sea, with monsters of hand-level difficulty?"

Chen Qi blinked.

The deep-sea hunter divided the difficulty of his treasure map into the fingers, eyes, hands, feet, body, and the perilous brain.

Deep Sea Hunter, are you sure you don't need to use your feet to deal with this monster?
