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

Chapter 272 The Deep Sea Hunter's Sword in the Lake!
"Black Hunter".

Blue Flame added, a hint of wariness and fear flashing in his eyes.

The opponent is one of the supernovas, a member of the Flower Witch's faction. Although their combat record against people is not good, we must still be vigilant.

"I'll give you face..." Chen Qi glanced at the white-haired old man in front of him.

Hearing this familiar catchphrase, Chen Qi's memories came flooding back: the old man at the Bonfire Energy Company who liked to smoke.

He was originally a nobleman's steward who risked his life and used all the wealth he had earned in his lifetime to save a high-ranking nobleman for his master.

He had expected to receive a legendary class card as a reward, but the nobleman, using his advanced age as an excuse, only gave him a lighter.

From then on, the old man with blue flames no longer trusted the nobles, joined the Bonfire Energy Company, and went to the Witch Sea to seek his chance to become a legend.

Like the Sage of the Tower of Books, his catchphrases are "Give me some face" and "Stop fighting!"

Later, as expected, his face was swollen from being slapped.

Chen Qi thought to himself, in his memory, the old man with the blue flame was a legend, but now he was only at the third level.

It seems that it was only after this journey that Old Man Blue Flame became a legend.

The other party's profession is a messenger of the Lantern Spirit, a profession that excels in delivering information and possesses agile movement skills.

Although the opponent's strength is somewhat inferior to that of a supernova, he is still a formidable opponent... The tentacles behind Chen Qi wriggled and unconsciously grew larger with excitement.

Although it possesses some strength, in this dark night, the Shadow of the Flame Demon, combined with the Touch of Ember and the Ember Beast woven from Shadow, is in full bloom!
In this dark night, with Blue Flame's strength, he is no match for him!

The only threat is the Black Rock Mech from Campfire Energy Company—

However, the Black Rock Mech's usefulness is extremely limited. This large mech lacks the ability to conceal its presence, and its powerful spiritual core will make it the primary target of the Shadow Beast and the Twelve Tentacles.

As long as he uses the 'alarm clock' he just obtained from the Deep Sea Hunter, it will ring again and wake up Twelve Tentacles. This Black Rock Mech is nothing more than a matter of a few big fights from Twelve Tentacles.

Tell me, what can you offer?

Chen Qi stomped on Dia's head, and the tentacles behind him became even more excited, waving incessantly.

The next second, Blue Flame raised his hand and tossed all ten Deep Blue Flame bottles to Chen Qi:

"Black Hunter, to be honest, when we arrived at this lost island, the legend of the Black Whale Gang, the Dragon Tamer King Jay, had already traversed the thunderstorms and arrived at the Sea of ​​Calamity! And he was charging towards us!"

"Our time is running out. If we continue fighting, you and I will likely become food for the Thunder Dragons under the Dragon King's command."

The seven pirates of the Black Whale Gang have left the Sea of ​​Mist and begun searching for the witch's relics and the Flower Witch.

Chen Qi pondered for a moment.

Bluefire was probably not lying, but he deliberately concealed a crucial piece of information: the naval support from Campfire Energy Company.

Moreover, the other party's purpose in negotiating with him was definitely not to save Dia.

Chen Qi smiled:
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Whoosh! A gust of wind blew by, dispelling the dark clouds in the sky, and the faint moonlight shone down, illuminating this lost island.

The old man with the blue flames had his white hair fluttering in the wind as he slowly looked toward the center of the island, a hint of excitement flashing in his aged eyes.

Finally, we meet again, Deep Sea Hunter, the legend you left behind... The old man with blue flames stepped over Dia's head on the ground and walked forward excitedly.

In the very center of this lost island lies a large lake, and in the heart of that lake, a protruding area juts out.

In the center of the place, there is a blue sword from the lake, with blue flame patterns carved on its hilt.

Around the sword lay countless white bones, and five hundred meters away, a peculiar azure ripple emanated from it. Though seemingly unremarkable, emitting no powerful spiritual energy befitting a forbidden creation, it was none other than the treasure left behind by the deep-sea hunter:
Sword in the Lake!
Chen Qi blinked. As expected, this was the treasure that the deep-sea hunters had buried on this lost island.

"Deepsea Hunter, Deepsea Hunter, can't you come up with something new?" Chen Qi couldn't help but complain.

So far, all the deep-sea hunter treasures he has encountered have been carved from the same template.

All the treasures in Deepsea Hunters revolve around one main target, making them seem incredibly easy to obtain!
But anyone who dares to take it is willing to die! These skeletons are the most powerful proof.

Twenty years later, upon seeing this treasure again, Blue Flame gripped his cigarette tightly, unable to conceal his excitement:
"The Black Hunter, the Deep Sea Hunter, died a century ago. That's so long ago that people have forgotten what the Deep Sea Hunter looked like. But in legends, the Deep Sea Hunter was a being who could dominate the sea."

In this barren land of the Witch's Sea, only the Ice Witch and the Deep Sea Hunter have ever reached the path above the Saints, seen the Sea Goddess beneath the deep sea, and the great whale from beyond the world…

At this point, Blue Flame paused for three seconds before continuing:

"If we examine history, the Ice Witch left behind a witch's coffin, within which a path to sainthood is sealed. However, in reality, the Deep Sea Hunter's treasure also contains a path to sainthood, no, even a path to something higher—"

Above the Saints… Chen Qi stroked his chin, listening with great interest.

Gods do exist in this world, but unlike most gods, the gods of the new day rarely appear to respond to the expectations of believers.

However, if their taboos are violated, they will immediately carry out the punishment.

Once one becomes a saint, one has the power to break these taboos.

Lan Huo turned his head and glanced at Chen Qi, anticipating his surprised expression. This information was something he had obtained from the fifth-tier saint, the Recorder, when he went to the Tower of Books.

In the eyes of many, the Deepsea Hunter is a legend, at most a saint. Even the current Navy Admiral would not believe that a near-demigod was once born in the Witch Sea, a barren land where even B-rank rifts are rare.

However, upon hearing this news, Chen Qi was not surprised. Instead, the tentacles behind him became extremely excited and grew to a full ten meters in length.

As expected of the Black Hunter, the other party must be a disciple of the Ice Witch, just like the Flower Witch... Blue Flame believed he had already guessed Chen Qi's identity.

Chen Qi smiled slightly:
"Do you know how to take down this sword in the lake?"

Blue Flame nodded and said seriously:
"Of course, twenty years ago, I reached the middle of the lake and tried to pull out the sword from it, but I failed. Every time I pulled the sword a little further, the twelve tentacles guarding the island would be awakened, and the sea beasts in the lake would go berserk—"

Sword in the Stone… Chen Qi couldn’t help but complain. The way the Deep Sea Hunters buried their treasure was utterly uncreative.

"So, what do you want me to do? And how do you plan to divide the final treasure?"

Blue Flame stretched his limbs and said with a smile;

"To pull out that sword, one must have the comprehension of either the Lamp Aspect or the Blade Aspect. In order to pull out this sword, I used my lifespan and strength as bargaining chips, and specially changed my profession from the Blade Aspect to the Lamp Aspect messenger, thus possessing both the Blade Aspect and the Lamp Aspect comprehension."

During this process, I will inevitably be besieged by the beasts of the lake.

"Black Hunter, I heard that you hunted down the Black Boar Shark and are a ruthless sea monster killer. I hope that you and the Black Rock Mech can help me stop the sea monster in the lake."

"After this is done, if the Deepsea Hunter's treasure contains information about a legendary class card, that information belongs to me, and the Lake Sword, which can assist in casting area spells, is all yours."

The other treasures are all mine, which sounds good, but it's just something to hear about... Chen Qi thought for a moment and said:
"As for the final, enraged Twelve Tentacles, we'll have to rely on our luck?"

"Yes, the world is a gamble. People like us, who don't put their lives on the scales of commerce, will never become legends."

Blue Flame picked up another cigarette, put it in his mouth, took out a lighter, and lit it.

Phew! Phew!
The moment the smoke was lit, Blue Flame used Water Walking to dash alone towards the lake.

The Black Rock mech behind him suddenly started its engine and stepped onto the sea.
