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

Chapter 286 The Saint and the Book Witch
"Are you sure this isn't false intelligence?"

Chen Qi placed his hand on the intelligence merchant's shoulder.

Why are you coming near me? The strong smell of blood made the bearded manager shudder.
"Of course, I swear on the century-old reputation of our Seal Company!"

Chen Qi asked:

"how much is it?"

The bearded manager flashed his big gold teeth:
“Guest, 50,000 shells is not a valuable piece of information.”

Fifty thousand? Surprisingly, these unscrupulous merchants didn't rip anyone off... Chen Qi thought about it and realized that in a high-end place like Seal One, fifty thousand shell coins was a pretty low price.

Chen Qi readily took out 50,000 shell coins and handed them to the other party.

Immediately afterwards, Manager Hu handed him a newsletter.

Chen Qi opened the note, quickly scanned it, and his brows furrowed even more.

A day earlier, aboard the Seal One, a second-tier transcendent from the Hunter Association was buying medicine from a pharmacist when he unexpectedly discovered that the pharmacist had flowers growing on his arm.

Therefore, this second-tier transcendent immediately informed the bounty hunters on Seal One about the matter, which triggered a pursuit by the hunters. As a result, the Flower Witch had to use hallucinogenic drugs.

In short, the Flower Witch's identity has been exposed, and she has been put on a bounty by bounty hunters!
Oh no, the Flower Witch is surrounded.

Chen Qi shook his head. His and Fen's bounties were both currently 50 million coins, which was an extremely high amount for most bounty hunters.

Moreover, although he and Finn both possess some strength, facing an encirclement by third-tier extraordinary hunters remains a huge problem.

Essentially, this is the pain of lacking allies. On this vast sea, Finn's true allies are only Dawnbringer, the Bloodblade Pirates, and the Ice Demon Pirates.

The war between the Bloodblade Pirates and the Black Whale Pirates continues, and the Ice Demon Pirates' favorability is still insufficient.

Chen Qi shook his head and looked at the last line of the intelligence report.

According to the intelligence from Seal One, the Flower Witch is very likely still on the edge of the Dragon Flower Islands.

"I have to go help Fen..." Chen Qi thought to himself.

Manager Beard asked:

"Guest, are you also tempted by the Flower Witch's fifty million bounty?"

"Yes."

Chen Qi replied perfunctorily.

Upon seeing this, the bearded manager immediately said:
"Sir, by the way, the doctor you requested has arrived. Please take a look and see if there's one you like."

Chen Qi turned his head and realized that the bearded manager, who was good at sales, had already found two doctors.

Among them were a muscular male doctor and a female doctor who licked a knife.

The muscle doctor's pectoral muscles bounced:

"Guest, I understand men's muscles. You can cure any ailment just by lying in bed!"

Another female doctor, dressed like a bandaged zombie, said with her tongue lolling out:
"Guest, I have extensive knowledge of blood procedures. While you lie on my bed, I can ensure you complete your treatment comfortably."

"Two second-tier doctors? What kind of trash are you? Are you sure you're doctors?" Chen Qi said coldly and ruthlessly.

"unnecessary."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Qi turned around and left.

Manager Hu Zi said anxiously:

"Guest, don't leave! Sign the surgery contract now and receive a complimentary bunny girl carrot-pulling service!"

"What kind of weird service is this?" Melanie muttered under her breath.

Chen Qi ignored the manager's shouts and temptations.

Surgery is a highly profitable industry. In the country of Bei, a major surgery on a superhuman costs at least 500,000 Bei coins.

Given his current situation, he might need at least one million coins.

Moreover, if these doctors choose to harm him, he might be harmed while he's in his hospital bed.

Of course, most importantly, there are no reliable doctors on this ship.

Sure enough, for this kind of surgery, you still have to find someone you know... Chen Qi thought for a moment, although Fen was not a professional doctor, but a pharmacist.

But as expected, Fen's surgical skills were also quite good.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Qi and the White Tower Hunters split up.

Chen Qi took a shower on the ship, Seal One, then bought some medicine, a new hunter's outfit, and went to the dock to buy some ship repair tools and food.

Finally, Chen Qi counted his remaining coins and found that he only had five million coins left.

Five million shells may seem like a lot, but in the Witch's Sea, where gold is everywhere, these shells seem very little.

After shopping, Chen Qi and the White Tower Hunter reunited on the ghost ship.

At this moment, the White Tower Hunter had already bought supplies for his journey and rented a small steamboat. Melanie also has some good things to sell… Chen Qi thought.

Chen Qi spent another 100,000 shells to buy four 'hidden cards' for hiding ships from Melanie, and another 400,000 shells to buy two communication cards that are difficult to be detected by radar and spiritual power from Melanie.

Both of these cards are Melanie's specialties.

After a chat, the White Tower hunters boarded the rented steamship.

They have obtained the Deep Blue Flame, completed their most important mission, and it is time to say goodbye.

Elor from White Tower Hunters still has to prepare for exams, and the others don't have much fighting spirit either.

Mechanic Little Ma stood on the boat, blushing, and said:
"Mr. Black Hunter, we'll be going now. Thank you for taking care of us."

Melanie took a deep breath and boldly said:

"Little brother, see you next time we work together. If you need any help, feel free to ask us."

Elor waved his hand and said:

"Goodbye, Mr. Black Hunter! Have a safe journey!"

Although the Black Hunter's state with the Ember Touch active is brutal, the White Tower Hunters have to admit that cooperating with him is quite comfortable.

Why do I sense they're a little reluctant to part...? Chen Qi suddenly remembered something and said:

"By the way, Melanie, can you do me a favor?"

"What's wrong? Anything we can help with!"

Chen Qi coughed twice and said:

"If possible, could you please tell the old man about the appearance of the Witch Sea Witch?"

"Old Bookworm!"

Melanie was startled.

The Book Elder is the chief of their Tower of Books, a true saint. For these newly recruited third-tier cultivators, let alone reporting this matter, even getting to see the Book Elder is a difficult task.

Chen Qi took a deep breath. His goal was to draw a special person into the situation of the Witch Sea.

Although the Flower Witch Fen appears to be outnumbered and outmatched, she actually has many hidden allies.

First, there is Finn's family in the Golden Bird Kingdom, the Canary Family. This is an extremely large family, known as the right hand of the kingdom.

In the eyes of this family, not to mention the Ice Witch, even a demigod is not an invincible being.

However, in the eyes of the elders of the Canary family, Finn was nothing more than a child suffering from the Blood Flower Disease with a bleak future.

This is a family that prioritizes profit, and all their assistance is based on self-interest.

Besides that, there's the identity of a witch; witches help each other.

Chen Qi remembered that on the Tower of Books, there was a disciple of the first Book Witch, who was also a half-witch, but she stayed in the library all day and never went out.

After the start of the 3.0 version of the Witch Sea's chaotic war, this successor of the 'Book Witch' and an important ally of Finn successfully helped Finn fend off the pursuit from the Blood Hunters.

Ultimately, she possessed the power of a saint.

The help of a saint was enough to turn his and Fen's situation around.

He and Fen are now enemies of the entire world!
Therefore, Chen Qi wanted to try to lure this book-wizard who was doomed in the light out of the dark library ahead of time.

However, given Chen Qi's status, it was impossible for him to meet this saint; he could only let the White Tower Hunters try.

If this matter were to reach the ears of the Book Elder, and then, through him, reach the ears of this reclusive Book Witch, it is entirely possible.

Melanie thought for a moment. Obtaining the materials for 'Deep Blue Flame' was an important task for the Tower of Books, and perhaps they really would be able to meet the Book Elder.

Although she didn't quite understand what the Black Hunter meant... she nodded nonetheless:
"Yes, if we can meet the old man."

Chen Qi said with a smile:

"Then goodbye, White Tower Hunter."

"Waaaaah (Goodbye! Goodbye!)"

The water sprites cleaning the boats also had tears in their eyes, waving their rags as they bid farewell to the White Tower hunters.

The small boat carrying the White Tower hunters sailed into the distance.

Melanie suddenly remembered something and turned around to say:

"Goodbye, I look forward to our next collaboration, Black Hunter. I hope that when we meet again, you won't be a prisoner of the Navy."

"Impossible..." Chen Qi thought confidently, looking into the distance.

The White Tower Hunter waved, his figure gradually receding into the distance until he finally disappeared at the edge of the horizon.
