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

Chapter 290 The Deep Sea Hunter's Diary

Chen Qi's head was firmly held by the smooth tentacles, and a powerful suction force emanated from the tentacles' suckers, giving his entire face a strange sensation.

What a treasure chest trap! Dark flames suddenly ignited in his right hand, and he grabbed the thick tentacle, pulling the sticky tentacle off his face.

Snapped!
With brute force, and a snapping sound, he finally pulled the tentacles out of the treasure chest and threw them to the ground.

"What on earth is this thing? Could it be a treasure trap?"

Chen Qi opened his eyes wide again, holding the long sword, and cautiously looked at the treasure chest in front of him.

Suddenly, a tentacle nearly five meters long emerged from the small treasure chest.

Unlike ordinary tentacles, its overall color is the color of seawater, and dark runes can be seen inside, gently wriggling.

At the same time, they gently rolled into the seawater, and under the influence of the seawater, they became even larger.

After careful observation, Chen Qi found that it did not possess the active spirituality of a living being, but rather the unique rune commands of the White Tower Federation that could be imprinted inside equipment.

A piece of equipment, crafted from the remains of a deep-sea monster and the rune command technology of the White Tower Federation.

"And like the deep-sea spirits, it can absorb seawater. High-level rune commands are very rare. We'll test its power once we bring it up..."

Immersed in seawater, it melts like ice under high temperatures, merging into the seawater.

Chen Qi acted decisively, immediately thrusting out his long sword and, before it completely melted, lifting it onto the shore.

Soon, the tentacles overlapped, attempting to launch another attack—

This thing's weakness is fire... Chen Qi gently swung his longsword, unleashing a dazzling flame.

Under the scorching heat of the flames, it rapidly shrank and then transformed into a ball, a tentacle ball the size of a palm.

Chen Qi picked up the blue tentacle ball.

The prompt pops up.

You have obtained the masterpiece 'Deep Sea Tentacle Compression Ball'.

Deep-sea tentacle compression ball:

Sexual characteristics: flowers, books
Equipment requirement: Inspiration points reach 100

Equipment type: Domain-type equipment
Equipment method: In its safe form of 'compressed ball', simply smear it with blood imbued with its own spiritual power to connect.

Description: Forbidden equipment forged by a Deepsea Hunter who killed a Calamity Beast and used its core, commissioning the Sage of the Tower of Books, a disciple of the Book Witch, to spend twenty years forging it!

Function: Deploying this equipment rapidly creates a tentacle-like area of ​​natural disaster, instilling fear of catastrophe in the ocean.

Chen Qi quickly focused his attention on a few keywords.

'Compressed Sphere', 'Saint', 'Twenty Years', 'Domain'.

The Sword in the Lake is a support item that enhances the strength of a domain. This item seems to be its complementary equipment.

So thoughtful? Deep Sea Hunter? Chen Qi almost thought that the Deep Sea Hunter had put a treasure chest tentacle monster in this treasure chest.

Moreover, and most importantly, this is a piece of equipment that a saint spent twenty years crafting!

Legendary crafted equipment is already a guarantee of quality, not to mention the equipment of saints.

However, equipment that has been developed over twenty years, with such low requirements, could it be a one-time use item? Chen Qi was somewhat curious.

Besides this equipment, there was also a piece of parchment inside the treasure chest.

Chen Qi opened the parchment and glanced at it briefly.

This format seems to be the diary of a deep-sea hunter.

The legendary man's diary... Chen Qi hurriedly scanned it from beginning to end.

"April 1, 1001, in the Kingdom of Bei, today is another sunny day with a pleasant breeze."

I've once again climbed to the top of this city, to the location of the great library. I wonder, will my twenty-year-old wish be fulfilled today?

At the top of the city, where the Great Library is located... Chen Qi thought for a moment, the destination of the Deep Sea Hunter.

It should be the White Tower Federation, because only the White Tower Federation has the custom of building libraries on the top floor of cities.

Legend has it that the library atop the city of the White Tower Federation holds many secrets of the world.
Many clues about saints, even gods, or methods for advancing to highly specialized professions can be found in these libraries.

Of course, to gain access to these libraries, one often had to accomplish something of great importance.

What important secret did the Deep Sea Hunter seek when he went to the library?
Could it be that there's information about rare class cards among them? Chen Qi hurriedly read on.

"On April 1st, I was thrown off the mountaintop by the library's doorman and broke my bones because I insulted their librarian."

What was the reason? Chen Qi was surprised that such a big shot as the Deep Sea Hunter would actually scold the curator of the White Tower Library!

Chen Qi continued reading.

"Damn it, a piece of equipment takes twenty years to make and still isn't delivered. I've been waiting for twenty years! I'm almost in my grave by now!"

Thankfully, that guy said it's almost done and will be finished in another day! Hopefully, that bastard Aslina won't go back on her word!

"????"

Chen Qi couldn't help but lower his head and glance at the 'Deep Sea Tentacle Compression Ball' in his hand.

Wait a minute, could this be the equipment from the past twenty years mentioned in this diary?

The deep-sea hunter seemed to be angry because the other party was delaying the project.

"On April 2nd, Aslina finally finished this piece of equipment. My 4-year-old dream has finally been fulfilled."

"..."

It was completed the day after he urged us? That's incredibly fast! Chen Qi looked at the 'Deep Sea Tentacle Compression Ball' in his hand with suspicion.

How many years, no, how many days, did it take to make this forbidden piece of equipment in my hand? Chen Qi had a slight doubt and couldn't help but complain to himself.

No, this is equipment from a treasure chest, made by a saint, so it shouldn't be underestimated!
Chen Qi tried to find some evidence that 'this equipment' was powerful.

"On April 3rd, I tested the new equipment! My evaluation can be summed up in two words: amazing! It's simply a masterpiece among similar items!"

As expected, Chen Qi smiled slightly.

"Especially when used for scrubbing in the bath! It's even more comfortable than the Water Beast Bathtub!"
I must say, the tentacles taste really good!

I originally intended to give this to Aslina as a bath towel in exchange for some knowledge, but to my surprise, she refused. What a foolish girl who doesn't understand how comfortable and wonderful it is to be scrubbed with tentacles.

"Scrubbing the body..."

Well, whether this equipment is powerful or not doesn't seem to matter much anymore... Chen Qi paused, his smiling expression freezing instantly.

Using tentacles to scrub your body, is that something a human would do?
Deep-sea hunter! You just gave a woman a tentacle-shaped bath towel? No, wait, you put something used for scrubbing in a treasure chest as a treasure?

The treasure I painstakingly obtained is a bath towel.

Calm down, calm down... Chen Qi pressed his chest, suppressing the urge to swear, and continued reading.

"On April 3rd, although Aslina refused my gift, to express her guilt for the twenty-year delay in completing this equipment, and also because I was about to die, she still told me the burial location of one of my important relics, the 'Deep Sea Hunter,' the legendary class card of the Lamp and Blade."

"Huh? Lamp and blade!" Chen Qi's expression changed instantly.

A clue to a legendary class card... Chen Qi instantly became excited.

Only by reaching the legendary level can one truly be considered among the strongest in this world.

Among five hundred third-order individuals, there might not even be one legend.

The legendary class cards are exceptionally powerful, representing a significant leap forward compared to the previous classes.

However, legendary class cards are extremely rare. The two simplest ways to obtain them are by achieving an S-rank completion rating in a B-rank rift, with an extremely low probability of obtaining one. But even for legendary cards, achieving an S-rank in a B-rank rift carries a significant risk of death.

Another option is to join a large, extraordinary organization, but obtaining a legendary class card from such an organization is extremely difficult.

In this era of rift tides, without any backing, an ordinary Tier 3 Transcendent might have to defeat hundreds, or even thousands, of other Tier 3 Transcendents in the same organization and accomplish unimaginable feats in order to obtain a Legendary Class Card from the organization.

Besides these, there are rare shops run by shell merchants, special events in rifts, and other serendipitous encounters.

All of these methods rely heavily on luck, not to mention that the legendary class card obtained must also match one's own personality.

Chen Qi stroked his chin. Having a clear clue about a legendary class card was undoubtedly a good thing.

Not to mention, the 'Deepsea Hunter' class card is not an ordinary legendary class card, but an extremely rare legendary class card unique to the Witch Sea's Lampblade archetype.

Chen Qi hurriedly read on.

"On April 3, at Aslina's suggestion, I will bury her in the distant Misty Sea, in the direction of the Morning Star, on a dilapidated lighthouse island."

I dragged my weary body through the storm alone, placing the Deepsea Hunter's legendary class card, along with my other relics, on the top shelf of the lighthouse.

When the tide of the rift returns, the treasure chest will open, and with that, I will have completed the burial of another relic.

Chen Qi silently memorized this location.

"On May 10th, Whale Father told me that he had a way to resist the Great Whale and was preparing to create a whale-hunting pirate crew to replace the incompetent Bei Kingdom navy, protect the peace of the Witch Sea, and asked the Ice Witch and me for help to get more Black Whale Blood for him."

However, the Ice Witch did not trust him; she was someone who only trusted herself.

In my opinion, the father whale was too dependent on the blood of the black whale. Because of this, we had a fight and ended up damaging an island that should have been prosperous.

Whale Father, the big boss of the Witch Sea... Chen Qi frowned. The Black Whale Pirate Crew was originally called the Whale Hunter Pirate Crew. And were Whale Father and the Ice Witch friends?

"On June 6th, I found a sword from the lake. It is an item from the deep sea that can enhance the power of a domain. It is an extremely rare treasure. The aura it emits is very similar to the bath towel ball I obtained before."

I suddenly had a bold idea: perhaps it could create a wonderful synergy with the bath towel I obtained before, allowing ordinary Tier 3 transcendents to also master the power of a domain. However, turning the bath towel into a truly perfect domain-expanding technique will probably require considerable effort.

Domain-specific items... Chen Qi pondered for a moment.

Although equipment with the domain name also has the word "domain" in it, it is still completely different from the domain skills of legendaries.

However, if a superhuman has high enough comprehension, they can greatly enhance the power of domain-type equipment through various methods, and ultimately make it a medium for releasing true 'domain skills'.

Chen Qi looked at the end of the diary.

'On August 25th, my health deteriorated. Unlike the Ice Witch, this was not the Lantern Reaper's hunt, but a hidden danger to my body. The Deep Sea Hunter class card was too damaging to my body, and the power of the cup alone could not withstand it.'

I consulted books and found a potion that could cause a qualitative change in my physique, allowing me to adapt to the power of the deep sea.

A single sea blue grass, plus a liter of ghost fire essence extracted from ghost fire oil, and the white sea fruit of the Lantern Moon Sea Dragon, are used to make the Lantern Sea Medicine.

Taking large doses of this drug can bring about unimaginable positive changes in the body.

However, the Moon Dragon is extremely rare, and finding this nearly extinct sea monster is incredibly difficult. Perhaps in the future, this prescription will be of some use.

These prescriptions are now worthless to me. All I need to do is bury the treasure and hunt as many sea monsters as possible, so that when the next great whale descends, fewer monsters will ravage this sea, and fewer people will die.

"May someone live one more day by relying on my treasure when the great whale descends."

Chen Qi gently traced the last sentence of the diary with his finger.

This diary contains a lot of complicated information, but the two most important pieces of information are: first, the information about the Deep Sea Hunter job card.

Secondly, it is a prescription for a special medicine.

At that moment, Fen came up from behind, secretly leaned close to Chen Qi's face, and asked:

What does it say on this?

Chen Qi recounted the contents of the diary to Fen, and then asked:
"Fen, do you know about the medicine of the Sea of ​​Lights?"

After pondering for a long time, Fen slowly said:
"I only know the name. It's a potion that only legendary-level experts can make. It's an extremely powerful potion that can greatly improve a person's physique without any side effects. However, because the Lantern Moon Sea Dragon is so rare, this recipe has been lost for a long time."

"The formula for this medicine is in this diary."

Chen Qi said it calmly.

"!"

Fen nodded, memorizing the prescription. Finding a Moonlit Sea Dragon in the Rift Tide was not impossible.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Qi silently accepted the parchment and put it into his backpack card. Then, he cut his hand and drew blood, completing the connection with the deep-sea tentacle compression ball.

You have mastered the deep-sea tentacle compression sphere.

As the connection was established, Chen Qi gently moved his finger.

The compressed sphere of tentacles then floated in the air.

Chen Qi tried it out and found that the compressed ball could rotate at will, according to his wishes.

Its manipulation is so precise that it can even produce a vibration effect.

Even though it's just a bath towel ball, I still have to try it out and see how it works.

Chen Qi suddenly slid his finger down, and the deep-sea tentacle ball was plunged into the ocean.

boom! boom! boom!
As the tentacle ball was submerged in the sea, the surrounding seawater continuously poured into it, even forming a whirlpool with a radius of ten meters.

"what is this?"

Fen stood aside, watching this scene with curiosity.

At this moment, Chen Qi could feel the immense power of this ball.

Just like a balloon, it is being continuously filled with huge amounts of gas.

"Almost fully absorbed..."

Chen Qi gently lifted his finger upwards.

put!
With a tremendous roar of waves breaking, the sea in front of them became turbulent, like a raging storm.

At the same time, nearly a hundred seawater tentacles, each twenty meters thick, burst forth from the ocean, like a giant island of tentacles rising from the high altitude, blocking out the daytime sunlight.

The translucent blue tentacles began to rage!

"Wow!"

Fen was extremely surprised that the Deep Sea Hunter's equipment was actually this kind of tentacle equipment, which didn't quite fit Chen Qi's image.

In her mind, Chen Qi is the successor of the Deep Sea Hunter, and is more suited to equipment that exudes righteousness.

boom! boom! boom!
More and more tentacles coalesced into a pillar.

The entire ocean seemed to be suddenly struck by a tentacle-sized natural disaster.

A giant tentacle crashed down from the sky, slamming into the tree behind him and snapping it in half.

Then, more and more tentacles slapped at the sea monsters on the seabed and at the insects on the trees on the island.

It is manic, insane, and indiscriminately attacks all spiritual beings around it.

In an instant, the sea surged with one huge wave after another.

A tremendous wind howled past… Chen Qi stood on the beach, looked up at the frenzied tentacles dancing wildly before him, and a question involuntarily arose in his mind:
Can this thing really be used to scrub your back?
Before Chen Qi could finish thinking...

In the next instant, a huge tentacle, out of Chen Qi's control, fell from the sky and slammed down on Fen beside him.
