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

Chapter 273 Give it back to me! Black Hunter!
Blue Flame's profession is the messenger of the Lantern Spirit. In addition to being able to deliver information, messengers will receive bonuses to all movement-related skills!

It can be said that the Messenger is a Tier 3 class, and the class that can run the fastest.

Walking on the sea!

Blue flames suddenly erupted from Blue Flame's feet, propelling it towards the center of the island at an astonishing speed of fifty meters per step.

Its speed was so fast that it left several afterimages in the eyes of a second-tier transcendent being.

At this moment, as the moonlight shone down, the surrounding pirates and hunters also noticed Chenqi and Lanhuo.

Their leaders were fighting, and one of them ended up lying on the ground while the other ran towards the center of the lake.

Most importantly, when did this island get a hunter dressed entirely in black?

However, more than that, everyone was more concerned about the several thick tentacles wriggling behind him.

These enormous and thick tentacles inevitably remind people of one of the supernovas named by the White Dove newspaper:

Black Hunter!
The White Tower Hunters, the Campfire Energy Hunters, and the pirates all narrowed their eyes, filled with surprise and confusion.

"Black Hunter, what's Black Hunter doing here!"

"Brother Dia, Brother Dia, why did you fall down? Get up quickly!"

"Damn it, there are still experts here!"

"The Black Hunter's tentacles are so big and thick, I love them!"

"It's the Black Hunter! I'm a follower of the Black Hunter! Tell me, can I ask him for the Flower Witch's autograph?"

"Huh? Where did this black hunter come from? Where is our Lightkeeper Captain?"

The three forces were both surprised and engaged in a fight.

Chen Qi ignored the whispers of the crowd and stepped on Dia again.

With Dia already defeated, the other third-tier transcendents would never dare to approach him lightly.

The real key is this old man with the blue flame.

Blue Flame sought cooperation with him for two reasons: firstly, to obtain his help, and secondly, to prevent conflict with him.

Ultimately, everything that just happened was only Blue Flame's side of the story.

If the Deepsea Hunter's treasure contains a one-time mass-destructive relic, then everything will be reversed.

We can't let Blue Flame so easily seize the Deep Sea Hunter's treasure... Chen Qi took a deep breath and instructed the water spirit behind him:

"Number One, cast an illusion spell and keep an eye on the bottle of Deep Blue Flame. I'm going to play on this lake first."

Chen Qi also used Sea Walking, suddenly stepping onto the lake surface, and then used Instant Step, dashing across the sea like a dark afterimage.

The moment he stepped onto the lake, the old man with blue flames crossed the 'trial line' set by the deep-sea hunters.

In an instant, a gust of wind swept across the lake without warning, and the calm lake surface seemed to be suddenly stirred up by an invisible hand, instantly losing its usual tranquility.

The waves began to surge, starting as small ripples, but quickly coalesced into raging torrents. Beneath the lake, countless sea creatures, like hungry wolves, rushed toward Chenqi's location!
"You really did come, Black Hunter..." Blue Flame turned to look at Chen Qi, her eyes filled with excitement.

In the next instant, a ten-meter-long, third-tier crocodile burst from the lake and lunged at the old man with blue flames.

boom!
The Black Rock Mech unleashed a burst of light, bursting out and blasting the crocodile's head apart, sending blood and flesh flying everywhere.

The instant the crocodile's head exploded, five enormous lake crocodiles charged out again, biting the entire body of the Black Rock Mech.

Under the cover of the Black Rock Mech, the old man Blue Flame successfully reached the center of the island and stopped.

He changes jobs, practices movement techniques, becomes a manager, deliberately gives the equipment of the Campfire Energy Company to the Sea God Pirates, then incites conflict between the Campfire Energy Company and the Sea God Pirates, and finally, he calls on Dia of the Steam Hand as a target to attract sea monsters.

"My twenty years of planning—"

The old man with blue flames was filled with emotion. He stepped over the bones and looked at the sword in the lake beside his feet, his hands trembling.

He had been waiting for the treasure beneath the sword in the lake for a full twenty years, and now, although the plan had encountered some setbacks, he had finally seen it!
But before that, he needs to do one more thing.

That is to use the Dawn on the lake as a substitute for Dia to help him lure the sea monsters and the twelve tentacles to attack.

No, everyone on this island, including the Sea God Pirates who obtained the Deep Blue Flame excavation equipment, is my bait!

All living beings are bait!

Thinking it over, Blue Flame took out a dark blue smoke bottle and threw it at Chen Qi's location.

Soon, the medicine bottle exploded with a bang, forming a peculiar blue smoke on the lake surface.

This smoke is specifically designed to attract sea creatures!
"Eat, eat! That's a precious hunter's body, beasts of the lake..."

Then, he glanced back at Chen Qi:
"Black Hunter! Now, I'm going to start pulling!" Blue Flame, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, excitedly gripped the hilt of the Lake Sword with his calloused hands.

boom!
He gripped the sword hilt tightly with his right hand, his fingers turning slightly white from the force, and the veins on his bronze skin bulged like a winding river.

"rise!"

With a low growl, all his muscles tensed instantly, as if countless steel cables were intertwined beneath his skin, unleashing astonishing power. His entire body seemed to transform into a volcano about to erupt, with all the accumulated power exploding at that moment.

Countless faint rays of light flickered and broke between the sword and the stone wall, and the sword in the lake was half pulled out!
In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains roared! All the sea creatures in the lake were awakened and went berserk!

Countless beasts from the lake, ignoring the blue flames of the drawn sword, surged excitedly toward Chenqi like a tidal wave.

Moreover, the twelve tentacles in the sky did not react and were quietly sleeping!
"Thank you, Black Hunter..."

Seeing this, Blue Flame was overjoyed and exerted all his spiritual power to pull out the sword!
pull!
pull!
Finally, with a crisp snapping sound, the sword in the lake was pulled out. Its flowing blade shimmered with a bright white light under the moonlight!
Beneath the sword in the lake lies a small treasure chest.

"God help me!"

The old man with blue flames laughed loudly, bent down, and took the Deep Sea Hunter's small treasure chest into his hands.

As the sword was fully pulled out of the lake, the entire island shook violently, and the sea beasts in the lake went completely mad.

These terrifying sea monsters even threatened the people on the island.

The only saving grace was that the Deep Sea Twelve Tentacles, one of the guardians, were completely unresponsive due to the distortion.

Twelve touches in the deep sea, all I want to do is sleep.

"What great luck! I ran into the Black Hunter. Black Hunter, I'll remember you, I'll remember how you helped me embark on the path to legend..."

Exhausted, Blue Flame held the lake sword with satisfaction and gently stepped onto the water's surface.

boom!
In the next instant, a huge wave engulfed the blue flame's body.

Blue Flame didn't care. With the Black Rock Mech and his agility, these sea beasts posed no threat to him.

Victory was already in his hands.

The next second, a peculiar light suddenly flashed in Blue Flame's eyes.

The inspiration of the lamp! His inspiration of the lamp revealed an ominous sign: in the boundless darkness, a monster was hunting down all his men in the campfire energy hunter group!

"How is this possible? What is that pitch-black tentacle monster?" Blue Flame turned around in terror and roared.
"later!"

Shadow Blade Slash!
It was too late... Chen Qi emerged from the waves, severing Lan Huo's right arm holding the sword with a single strike, and snatched the sword from the lake into his own hand.

Shunpo!

Lan Huo sacrificed his arm, immediately dodging backward. In an instant, his smile froze, a mix of emotions swirling within him—surprise, anger, sadness, jealousy—before finally erupting into two words:

"Give it back! Give it back to me!"

Blue Flame bent over, gritted his teeth, and roared like a demon.

boom! boom! boom!
At this moment, the battle on the shore has been settled. With their superior equipment, the hunter team of Campfire Energy Company has initially defeated the Sea God Pirate Team and the White Tower Hunter Team.

"Stop swooning! Everyone, line up!"

"Cover the manager!"

"Stop the Black Hunter!"

To protect the captain, fifty armored hunters' campfire guns, along with ten annihilation cannons from the Campfire Energy Company, were all aimed at Morning Rising on the lake.

[You have obtained the Deepsea Hunter's domain artifact—the Lake Sword.]

Chen Qi glanced at the unremarkable stone sword in his hand and said with a smile:

"Thank you, Blue Flame, for the gift."

"That's mine!" Blue Flame could no longer contain his emotions and screamed hysterically.
"Give it back!"
Listen up, Black Hunter, the Annihilation Cannon is aimed at you! Even if you escape, we have naval support; they'll arrive in five minutes!
On the ship, there's also the supernova An! Her strength is only one step away from legendary status; in her eyes, you're nothing but a plaything! A plaything to be ravaged!

Going against the Navy and Campfire Energy will mean certain death for you!

They're definitely going to die!!!

Blue Flame's eyes were filled with rage.

Chen Qi exhaled a breath of blood, then smiled slightly. It was time to end this farce.

Behind him, dark flames kept emerging, crackling and popping, and tentacles kept breaking out, turning into one after another extremely thin, pitch-black hands.
