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

Chapter 271 Furnace Armor!

Da da da da da!
Fifty hunters from the Campfire Energy Company wielded their Campfire Guns, which emitted dazzling flashes of fire.

Gunfire surged in like a tidal wave, relentless and continuous!
Steel-like!

Chen Qi took a deep breath, and a ring of steel energy condensed on his arm, as if it were black steel, to withstand the dense rain of bullets.

The crew of the Campfire Energy Company's exploration ship consisted of Blue Flame Manager, Supernova Dia, three Tier 3 Transcendents, and fifty fully armed hunters.

With a total of five Tier 3 Transcendent beings and fifty Tier 2 Hunters, at first glance, this configuration seems extremely weak in a dangerous sea like the Sea of ​​Calamity.

Under normal circumstances, the impact of Tier 2 Transcendent on Tier 3 Transcendent is minimal. However, every Tier 2 Hunter on the Bonfire Energy Company ship is equipped with Bonfire Armor Type 3, a powerful armor that can increase panel attributes by 70% and grant Tier 2 Hunters various skills such as Instant Burst, Blaze, Back Energy, and Overload.

Mechanical armor is also the core of Bei Kingdom's technology.

The second-tier hunters of Campfire Energy Company are all elites among the second-tier hunters, along with two experts, Manager Blue Flame and Supernova Dia.

With the addition of the Black Rock Mech, it's fair to say that the people from Campfire Energy Company could completely disregard everyone present, showing absolutely no mercy to the White Tower Hunters of the Tower of Books.

However, the other party was obviously too reckless... Chen Qi took the lantern and quickly retreated.

The other party didn't seem to have noticed the twelve tentacles around them, or the agitation of the deep blue flames... Chen Qi's eyes hardened, and black flames began to burn on his body.

Fifty campfire energy hunters and two hundred pirates were locked in a chaotic battle, causing utter chaos on the entire dock with explosions echoing everywhere.

Bonfire Energy Company's goal is clear: to seize Deep Blue Flame and, at the same time, take down everyone present!
Indiscriminate bullets struck Melanie.

Melanie's eyes widened. She hadn't expected that in the eyes of Campfire Energy Company, they, these third-tier transcendents, were just easy prey.

"We are from the Tower of Books! If you make a move, the Sage White Tower Book Elder will not let you off easily!"

Melanie roared, trying to intimidate the Campfire Energy Corporation ship in front of her with the massive Tower of Books behind her.

The Tower of Books has a saint in charge, plus a legend from the White Tower Federation. The arrogant and domineering Bonfire Energy Company is nothing more than a small mouse that can be easily crushed in the hands of the Tower of Books.

"Saint?"

Dia from Campfire Energy Company chuckled dryly:
"The Witch Sea is not yet suitable for a Saint's advance. Besides, what value do you, a third-tier transcendent, have in a Saint's eyes?"

In the eyes of legends, the third tier is like an ant; in the eyes of those old saints who are over a hundred years old, the third tier is like dust on the ground.

Who would mobilize the massive Tower of Books just for dust?

boom!
Melanie, the White Tower Hunter, flicked her finger, sending out a white territory card.

The words 'White Tower Advanced Mathematics' are clearly written on the card.

"Then don't blame me!"

Melanie no longer hesitated. Her eyes suddenly turned white, and numerous white runes appeared on her body. She chanted a spell, then flicked her wrist, throwing the white card in her hand into the air above.

Above her, the card suddenly emitted a white light, bursting forth with powerful energy!
"Book Explanation: Knowledge Number Cards!"

In an instant, centered on the card in the sky, the entire dock was shrouded in a light white mist, and a cacophony of knowledge-based utterances filled the air.

At the same time, a large number of white runes covered in frost emerged from the ground like long snakes, firmly controlling all enemies within range.

Melanie is a powerful card maker; the cards she can unleash are her trump cards.

The Knowledge Card can directly infuse knowledge into enemies within its range, while simultaneously controlling everyone with white runes, making it a very powerful area-of-effect crowd control skill.

At this moment, Captain Seal was in a state of panic and extreme distress:

"Damn it, why is a bunch of weird symbols just keep repeating in my head!"

Melanie chose to inject knowledge from mathematics, which she hated the most.

This trick works quite well... Chen Qi thought to himself.

The pirates and campfire hunters were instantly captivated by the numerous symbols and numbers, unable to tear themselves away.

As the team leader, Melanie, with a resolute gaze, gave the final instruction:

"Everyone, take down the Deep Blue Flame and retreat immediately! This is our last chance!"

Their situation was extremely critical, and the Campfire Energy Company had chosen to launch an indiscriminate attack without any negotiation.

Melanie believed their chances of getting out alive were no more than 20 percent.

At this moment, Melanie finally started to resemble a captain.

Not bad... Chen Qi smiled with satisfaction. This large-scale liberation can be said to have created a perfect opportunity for them to grab the loot and run.

"Yes, Captain!"

In an instant, the White Tower Hunters dashed towards Captain Seal's location like shooting stars; deep blue flames must be hidden on that ship.

boom!
Elor shattered the deck with a single punch!
Sure enough, below Captain Seal's position, there were twenty deep blue flames contained in special glass bottles.

The White Tower Hunter immediately took action, preparing to put the Deep Blue Flame into his inventory card.

However, to their surprise, the energy contained in the deep blue fire was extremely special and could not be stuffed into the backpack card at all.

However, they reacted very quickly, immediately tying the numerous bottles to the belts of their hunter outfits, and then rushed into the shadows.

Currently, the dock is within the range of the Campfire Energy Company's artillery fire. To escape, they must take a detour and venture deeper into the darkness.

With the Campfire Energy Company and the pirates under control, the White Tower Hunters ran extremely fast, especially the Spectacled Hunter Elor, who carried a full five Deep Blue Fire Bottles and ran at the very front of the group.

"Want to run?"

Soon, a burning heavy cannon shot slammed into the eyes hunter Errol's face, blocking his path.

boom--

At this moment, some of the hunters from the Campfire Energy Company had already completed the injection of the 'awakening agent' at the cost of memory loss and were rushing towards Elor.

However, suddenly, a gust of hot wind came.

Dia couldn't help but smile:
"Leave the strongest one for me! No, leave all of these White Tower Hunters for me!"

Dia had already taken off his outer garment, revealing his brand-new mechanical armor, the 'Furnace', beneath him!
His fists were itching to be used; in order to defeat the other supernovas, he had to challenge formidable opponents.

Now, Dia is prepared to fight eight Tier 3 hunters all by himself!
Dia's armor is black and gold, with a scorching hot high-level furnace core emanating from its center, and its two arms are the limited-edition 'Steel Blaster Hands' from the Steam Hand!
Dia's armor emitted a cold female voice:

"Power replenishment, activate overload mode!"

call out--

A meteor strike!

In an instant, flames burst forth from the twelve air vents on the back of the Dia armor, rushing towards Elor like falling meteors.

"What a joke!"

Elor's expression changed drastically. This person could actually unleash such terrifying speed in an instant!

Dia had already come to his side and smiled slightly.

Are these the seven supernovas reported by the White Dove newspaper?

Moreover, the opponent is the sixth-ranked supernova!
Elor couldn't even imagine how strong supernovas like Hagrid, the Black Hunter, and the Flower Witch were!

Dia's robotic arm suddenly emitted sparks as hot as molten lava, followed by a large amount of steam pouring out.

boom!
"Little hunter, there are some things you can't control!"

Explosive Fist!

Dia suddenly threw a straight punch, which slammed into Elor's chest. The power of the punch was so great that it created a fiery dragon tail that was fifty meters long in the air.

Elor was slammed away by the immense force, crashing through two trees before finally slamming into the dark, rocky mountainside, creating a huge crater.

The bleeding wouldn't stop, and the bones and flesh were completely severed!

"What a joke... Why would there be a furnace armor from a craftsman...?"

Covered in blood, Elor struggled to his feet. His sternum was shattered, and his heartbeat grew weaker and weaker.

The nations of the New World are home to numerous extraordinary organizations, but without a doubt, the strongest extraordinary organization is the Thirteen Hunters, defined by their physical attributes. They represent the pinnacle of military power in their respective nations and are the unsung rulers behind the scenes.

In some countries, the status of hunter groups even surpasses that of the imperial power.
The two extraordinary organizations behind the Kingdom of Bei are the 'craftsmen' and the 'merchants'. The establishment of many large companies must go through the control of the craftsmen.

The armor Dia was wearing was the "Furnace," the standard armor for third-tier superhumans in the Bei Kingdom's "Craftsman" Hunter Group!
Dia, a support-type mechanic, was able to pin him to the ground and hammer him while equipped with a furnace!
Elor spat out a mouthful of blood. The Dia before him was a nobleman from the Steam Hand. Without any adventure, he possessed forbidden equipment from the top tier of the world. He was not someone that an ordinary third-tier transcendent could challenge.

They were at the same transcendent level, yet an insurmountable chasm existed between them. "Unfortunately, I haven't been able to go back to take the exam..." Elor took two shaky steps, wanting to activate the book's explanation to buy time for the other team members.

However, Dia's eyes turned cold, and he did not give him that chance!
Overload Mode. Meteor Dash!

The steel armor on Dia's back erupted in scorching flames once more, flashing forward in an instant, and he charged towards Elor, unleashing a punch—

However, just as it was about to hit Elor, Dia's mechanical eye suddenly sensed a dangerous aura.

Something is in the darkness...

In the darkness, Chen Qi suddenly flashed and threw a punch, which hit Dia, who was rushing towards him.

Dark Flame Fist!!

"???"

Dia was startled.

boom!
In an instant, the black flames surged like a tidal wave, sending Dia flying—

The immense impact caused Dia to roll ten times on the ground.

Even the heart has been replaced with the Heart of the Furnace...? Chen Qi blew a breath of the black flame on his fist:
"Elor, give your deep blue fire to the water spirit, then leave the battlefield and go heal your wounds."

The Lantern Keeper… Elor’s eyes widened, unable to describe his feelings at that moment. The Lantern Keeper had actually gone alone to face Dia, one of the seven universally acknowledged supernovas on the high seas, just to save him!
At this moment, in his eyes, Chen Qi's image suddenly became incredibly tall and imposing.

"No, lamplighters, let's work together..."

Elor took a difficult step forward; he didn't want Chen Qi to suffer Dia's torment alone.

"roll!"

Chen Qi said coldly, his face expressionless, "Melanie's time is limited. If you want to cripple this Dia, now is the best time."

Now, Elor can only be a burden.

Elor froze, stunned for a moment:
"Take care of yourself……"

He then handed the five Deep Blue Fire Bottles to the Water Spirit and quickly fled the area.

Chen Qi turned around and glanced at the deep blue fire that was radiating a destructive aura.

After working hard for most of the day, I finally got the Deep Blue Flame.

Five deep blue flames... Chen Qi smiled slightly.

The primary objective of this mission has been achieved: five deep blue flames are enough to forge a forbidden weapon.

But before that, we need to deal with this troublesome Dia.

"Interesting! Interesting!"

Amidst the massive cloud of smoke, Dia clapped his hands, his blood-stained golden hair fluttering in the wind:
"Interesting, Lightkeeper. What's your name? If you satisfy me, our Campfire Energy Company Hunter Group might make an exception and accept you!"

"Ryan."

Chen Qi casually remarked that he had already figured it out: almost all of Dia's melee abilities came from the Craftsman's Forge Armor.

With furnace armor covering 60% of his body, Dia has virtually no weaknesses except for his head.

“Ryan, what an ordinary name…”

Dia took two steps forward casually.

"Furnace overloaded!!"

Dia roared again, sparks flashing through the patterns on his armor, and his speed exploded once more, breaking through his limits!
Only a few red afterimages remained on the spot!

"die!!"

Dia roared and rushed to Chen Qi's side. Then, the high-heat energy of his armor gathered at his fist and condensed into a single point!
Since he arrived at the Witch Sea, he has never been defeated!
Explosive Volcano!

The furnace armor from the craftsman allows him to unleash a punch comparable to Blade Break!
Boom! A wave of flames tens of meters high poured out, even scorching the rock wall behind Chen Qi.

However, the next moment, Dia sensed danger. His armor's 'enemy detection' system was warning him of a dangerous monster—

"Why? Are there monsters around?"

Dia was puzzled.

The flames have died down!

Steel-like!

Amidst the flames, Chen Qi raised his arms to block, taking the scorching punch head-on. Then, the pitch-black tentacles on his back slowly emerged.

The touch of embers. The weaving of shadows. Open!

Chen Qi breathed heavily, a hint of crimson flashing in his eyes.

Something's not right—after throwing a punch, Dia decisively chose to create distance, but the next second, he found himself in mid-air.

Running away? That's deliberately giving yourself away!
The tentacles behind Chen Qi grabbed Dia's mechanical leg and threw her into the air. Dia spun around continuously, flipping more than ten times.

The next second, Dia seized the opportunity and used the armored Meteor Dash to regain his balance.

"The armor is good, but unfortunately, the wrong person is using it—"

Chen Qi's right hand suddenly clenched and grabbed Dia's disheveled blond hair.

Before any attack is launched, this armor will inevitably be accompanied by a scorching flame-like pre-attack animation. In the face of super-sensory perception, all attacks are predictable.

"you--"

Dia was about to curse when he was surprised to find that what was grabbing him was not a hand, but also dark tentacles that were tightly wrapped around his thigh.

tentacle--

This scene reminded him of the witch's accomplice, the monster Black Hunter, on the high seas!
Am I fighting another supernova? Dia felt a surge of excitement coursing through his body.

boom!
"interesting--"

Dia wanted to activate the core of the furnace, reposition himself, and find another opportunity to make a move.

However, Chen Qi did not give him that chance.

boom!
Chen Qi delivered a left knee kick, then grabbed the other person's head and slammed it into the scorching hot rock wall!

boom!
The rock cracked, and Dia's head was smashed into a crater a full meter deep!
Then, Chen Qi suddenly accelerated, using Dia's head as a rock-cutting machine, and pushed forward a hundred meters along the rock wall!
Bang bang bang bang!

Countless pieces of rock flew everywhere!

Dia's head kept hitting the rock wall, and in an instant, it became covered in blood.

A bright red trail of blood stretched for a hundred meters along the entire hundred-meter-long rock face, left by Chen Qi.

boom!
Finally, at the end of the rock wall, Chen Qi suddenly lifted Dia's head up, then slammed it down with great speed!
boom!
The entire rocky ground was suddenly smashed into a deep crater, kicking up dust with a radius of ten meters!
"call……"

Chen Qi exhaled a mouthful of blood, and the tentacles behind him continued to writhe.

As a mechanic, Dia committed the sin of arrogance the moment he chose melee combat.

Dia's close-combat ability was much weaker than he had imagined, but his resistance to damage was really strong, and his skull was really hard.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Chen Qi gasped for breath as he looked at the smoke and dust in the distance.

This is troublesome, two peak third-tier monsters... Chen Qi couldn't help but become excited.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Blue Flame, carrying ten bottles of Deep Blue Flame, emerged from the darkness, then tilted his head, took out a lighter, and lit a cigarette.

“Friend, can we let him go? He’s the young master of the Steam Hands, we can’t afford to offend him.”

In the darkness behind him, a fifteen-meter-tall black giant could be vaguely seen.

"Just to give me face."

Blue Flame exhaled a thick smoke ring.
