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

Chapter 289 Fen's Brutal Treatment
This guy's body is pretty sturdy... Fen swallowed a mouthful of water, her face slightly flushed, and slowly pushed the syringe, injecting the medicine into Chen Qi's body drop by drop.

Ouch! Chen Qi gritted his teeth, enduring the pain.

Soon after, a conspicuous small blood hole appeared on his back.

Fen's medical skills were far more brutal than he had imagined... Chen Qi was startled. He had almost forgotten that Fen was a pharmacist, not a professional doctor.

"Do not move--"

As she spoke, Fen forcefully lifted Chen Qi's head with her hand, then poured a bottle of green medicine directly into Chen Qi's mouth.

Glug, glug—

His methods were extremely brutal, and he would occasionally rub his kidneys.

That was incredibly powerful!
If it weren't for Fen, Chen Qi would have even suspected that this was an unlicensed doctor who was after his kidneys.

She then took out a new anesthetic and continued the injection.

As the anesthetic was injected, Chen Qi closed his eyes, and his senses gradually diminished.

Since there's no way to resist, might as well enjoy it...

Chen Qi no longer resisted the pain.

She then took out the topical medicine and applied it to the areas burned by the black lightning.

Next came the injection of various medications.

Fen was not a professional doctor and lacked the tools to treat severe internal injuries, so the treatment she used was a drug therapy.

Essentially, it achieves a therapeutic effect through the injection of medication.

After the surgery, an exhausted Fen handed Chen Qi her clothes, stood up wearily, and felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment.
"How are you feeling?"

Is it finally done...? Chen Qi opened his eyes, stood up, and wiped the green liquid from the corner of his mouth.

His body was gently lifted by a warm force, and all the heaviness and discomfort slowly dissipated. The pain that kept him awake at night and tossing and turning became blurred and distant, as if shrouded in a soft mist, no longer so sharp and unbearable.

"It feels so good, if only it were a little gentler—"

Chen Qi made a complaint.

"That's already very gentle."

Fen pouted, and a happy little yellow flower sprouted from her hair, instantly dispelling the gloom on her face:

"However, Qi, I am not a professional doctor. This is just a basic surgery. To fully recover, you will need a period of medication."

By the way, your marine mammal disease is a potential problem. While your current physical condition allows for invasive surgery, it's best to consult a professional doctor…

Chen Qi stretched his limbs and put his shirt back on:
"Well, thank you very much."

Fen blushed and handed some green potions to Chen Qi:

"Take your medication on time. It will take at least two weeks for you to fully recover. During this period, it is best not to activate any new techniques or use any moves that could harm your body."

Two weeks without being able to fight... Chen Qi frowned and accepted the potion:
"clear."

After resolving Chen Qi's health issues, Fen breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, she finally remembered Chen Qi's situation.

Why is Chen Qi here? What happened when they parted ways?
Fen asked Chen Qi curiously what had happened.

"It's a long story."

Chen Qi told her about how he and the White Tower Hunters teamed up, went to Blue Fire Island, defeated the Campfire Energy Company's Exploration Ship, and ultimately seized the Deep Blue Flame and the deep-sea treasure.

As Fen listened, a little black flower of surprise appeared on her forehead!
She was picking mushrooms and flowers here, while Chen Qi and his team were actually fighting against the Campfire Energy Company!
For a moment, Finn didn't know whether the Campfire Energy Company was too weak, the White Tower Hunters were too strong, or the Morning Start was too strong.

Fen sniffed, and only then did she realize with surprise that Chen Qi's spiritual energy field was even stronger than when they parted!
This rate of growth is extremely rare, even on a resource-rich ocean like the Rift Tide!

Could Qi be a genius even more talented than me? Could it be that Qi is now stronger than me? Fen was somewhat surprised:

"Qi, so that means you've already obtained the Deep Sea Hunter's treasure."

"Yes, one of them is the Sword in the Lake, which I have already digested. The other is the Deep Sea Hunter's Treasure Chest, but I haven't been able to crack the cipher lock on it yet."

As Chen Qi spoke, he took out the Deep Sea Hunter's Treasure Chest.

Given his relationship with Fen, aside from their deep-sea affinity, there was no need for him to hide anything from Fen.

Curiosity flashed in Fen's eyes:
"A ciphertext lock, can I take a look? My teacher taught me some ways to crack ciphertexts..."

"Oh? Fen, you can do this too?"

Chen Qi was overjoyed and handed over the treasure chest.

Finn took the treasure chest and translated the cipher text on it one by one:

“Apply a liter of whale blood to this treasure chest, then set it ablaze with deep blue flames to open it…”

So that's how it is. This is the way to fully open the treasure chest... Chen Qi took the treasure chest back and fell into thought.

He possesses the deep blue fire, but he lacks the blood of the great whale.

The black whale blood they obtained earlier was actually the blood of a great whale, and a considerable portion of it was used by Finn for experiments.

"We can only get some new black whale blood..." Chen Qi asked.
"Fin, did you manage to obtain any fresh black whale blood during your adventure?" "No..."

Fen said dejectedly.

"It seems we have no choice but to get some."

Chen Qi started making plans.

Black whale blood is commonly found on mutated, jet-black sea creatures. Sea creatures completely infected by black whale blood will go completely mad.

Although there are many sea monsters infected by black whale blood, encountering these monsters still requires a lot of luck.

Fortunately, he now possesses deep-sea exploration abilities, which greatly enhance his ability to search for mutated monsters on the high seas.

This guy definitely isn't thinking about me, but rather how to get his hands on black whale blood… Fen tapped Chen Qi's head with her little fist, her face serious:
"Hunting monsters infected with black whale blood is very dangerous! And you're still injured, so don't do anything reckless. You need to rest. Come with me."

Fen, carrying a lantern, led Chenqi to her small hideout in the Longhua Islands.

"Ah."

Chen Qi reluctantly agreed, but he really needed to rest and recuperate.

At the same time, helping Finn achieve legendary status as soon as possible is also his goal.

After thinking about it, Chen Qi decided that he might as well take a break for a while and help Fen collect some rare medicinal herbs.

……

……

Seven days later, on an unnamed island in the Dragon Flower Islands.

Under the comforting sea breeze, Fen and Chenqi are collecting medicinal herbs.

Chen Qi stood on the shore, picked up a sea blue flower from the bank, and handed it to the Deep Sea Sprite No. 1 behind him.

"We've finally finished collecting them, and with Fen applying the medicine every day, I'm almost fully recovered."

Chen Qi wiped the sweat from his brow.

These days, thanks to the new medicine made by Fen, not only has his injury improved, but his physical condition has also improved by 5 points.

It's about time to stir things up again.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Qi gently stepped onto the sea surface, and his inspiration, along with the seawater, continued to spread into the distance.

Among the countless fish, a sword shark radiating terrifying, dark spiritual power caught his attention.

"Finally caught them..."

Chen Qi smiled excitedly, then silently tossed out an extraordinary bait.

To his surprise, under the smiling moon, these sea beasts stained with the blood of the black whale had completely lost their minds. They were like emotionless killing machines, slaughtering everything in sight and relentlessly pursuing delicious food.

Even with deep-sea affinity, it's difficult to be effective against sea monsters completely contaminated by black whale blood and the Laughing Moon.

Lured by the bait, the black sword shark noticed him in an instant. Like a rocket, it accelerated through the sea, opened its blood-red maw, and charged towards Chen Qi.

bang——

A flash of cold light!
With a swift and clean slash, Chen Qi sliced ​​the black sword shark in front of him in two.

The original form of this black sword shark was too weak; after being corrupted, it only possessed the strength of a second-tier transcendent being.

"A package delivered to my door!"

Chen Qi crouched down and extracted the fresh whale blood from the sword shark's body.

After waiting for so many days, I finally got the Black Whale Blood to open the treasure chest!

It's finally time to unpack! Let me see, Deep Sea Hunter, what treasures you've hidden!

Chen Qi excitedly held the small treasure chest in his hands, smeared the black whale blood onto the deep-sea hunter's small treasure chest, and then lit it with deep blue fire.

Pfft!

Soon, the entire treasure chest burst into flames!

And the treasure chest, like a seashell, slowly opened...

"Let me see what it is?"

Chen Qi was a little excited, and Fen, who was in the distance, also looked over curiously.

The next instant, a blue light appeared—

Then, from inside the treasure chest, dozens of huge, slippery tentacles stretched out and tightly wrapped around Chen Qi's head.

"Ugh?"

Fen, standing some distance away, was stunned.
