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

Chapter 299 Whose troops are those?

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the daytime flames gradually weakened, thick dark clouds rolled, thunder rumbled faintly, and the rumbling of steam came from afar.

Centered on the ruins of the SEAL One, more and more military ships are gathering here, braving the rolling black waves.

Meanwhile, the fleet under the command of the Dragon King sailed in from afar, blocking the Dragon Flower Islands and forming a thick wall of sea.

Amidst the steam and the roar of the navy, Chen Qi, after a long absence, gently stroked the water sprite's head, then calmly raised his own, like a guest about to attend a banquet:
"Fen, you've changed into a new outfit?"

Previously, Fen wore a fluffy cloak over a long, fitted robe underneath, with heavy trousers and bandaged straw sandals—a very common herbalist outfit in the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom.

Now, Finn has tied her hair up in a ponytail and changed into a lighter, light green hunter's outfit, with thick-soled leather boots that are more convenient. Her backpack card and medicine bottle are placed on her tool belt.

She also sewed some pockets onto her clothes, which were filled with the splash-type potions she had been concocting over the past few days.

How should I put it? Her style of dress is somewhat similar to Chen Qi's.

"The clothes I wore before are not suitable for combat."

Wearing a pharmacist's uniform and with a petite figure, Fen stared intently at Chen Qi, her tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxing.

Although she still had many doubts about the mission, she felt a strange sense of relief when Chen Qi arrived.

The new clothes are quite nice... Chen Qi handed Fen the 'Convenient Magic Circuit' he had recently bought:
"Clothing that can temporarily enhance spiritual power."

"Is this bandage clothing? Isn't it underwear designed by the Lark of the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom?" Fen took the bandage with a puzzled look, and then tossed the 'dangerous medicine packet' she had carefully prepared over the past few days to Chen Qi.

Chen Qi took the medicine packet, took out the medicine inside, shook it gently, opened the bottle, and drank all four tubes of dangerous medicine in one gulp.

Gulu gulu——

[You have taken the Flower Healing Elixir, a medicine to enhance your body's self-healing abilities...]

[You have taken the Berserk Flower Potion, your strength has been greatly increased...]

[You have taken the Inspiration Potion, your spiritual power has increased...]

[You have taken the Night Spider Potion, your energy has increased...]

The four bottles of medicine did not interfere with each other, and they were just right to put his body in a perfect state.

Chen Qi felt a surge of heat and excitement, and said with a smile:

"good."

He then distributed the high-grade flares he had bought in Moonstone City to Brie and Finn, while Brie handed them the heavy explosives he had made.

The three of them quickly finished distributing the props.

"We did a good job," Chen Qi praised, then turned to look at the center of the battle in the distance.
"Bri, please start the energy engine in advance. Then, we just need to wait for the Dragon King to appear before we set off."

"Ok."

Bree wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Perhaps it was the allure of dragons that made him realize he had unknowingly boarded this pirate ship with only the captain and first mate.

And he was the only expatriate employee.

With the thought of 'What am I doing?' in mind, Brie began her work.

Chen Qi picked up his binoculars and looked into the distance, his gaze lingering on the large white dove atop the giant shark warship:
"There are quite a few familiar faces here."

This battle not only brings together two legends, Admiral Tiger Shark and the Dragon Tamer, but also various Tier 3 powerhouses from both the Navy and the Pirates.

However, Tiger Shark, as a general, did not care about these third-tier powerhouses, but instead placed them in a position of 'support' or 'backup'.

On the top floor of the Giant Shark's houseboat, Pelouch was adjusting the camera, finding the right angle, and preparing to record all the major events of the day.

The little golden hair on Peluru's head danced in the wind, her eyes gleaming, and she excitedly stomped her feet:
"My intuition tells me that today's news here will be even more exciting than Little Red Riding Hood of the Blood Blade Pirates attacking the former general's base!"

"..."

Ann stayed by Peru's side without saying a word. She had joined the navy and for a long time had been cooperating with Admiral Shiro's troops.

Now, the fall of the pirate base, the capture of General White Gull, and the disappearance of Chen Qi—all these bad news have piled up, forming a dark cloud that is difficult to dispel.

The only thing that comforted her was that Water Sprite No. 3's learning speed had been quite good recently. Under training, Water Sprite No. 3 had become proficient in using some heavy firearms and piloting small combat boats.

Moreover, she didn't have a good impression of Admiral Tiger Shark's troops.

Besides, Dia and the old man Bluefire squatted to the side. They had not yet emerged from the shadow of the Bluefire Island incident and did not want to participate in this contest between legends.

Everyone's here... Chen Qi's gaze lingered on Pei Lu's camera for a moment before he looked up.

call!call!
Above the thick clouds, a small point of light appeared, and with the howling wind, it grew larger and larger—

call!
A huge gust of wind howled in from the sky, blowing Chen Qi's hair back completely, turning it into a slicked-back hairstyle.
"Is it finally here?"

Amidst the thick thunderclouds, people gradually saw the true appearance of the light spot. An immense and unparalleled aura surged forth from the depths of the clouds, and thunderclaps resounded across the sky in an instant!
Boom! The spot of light suddenly expanded, and a huge figure, carrying the force of thunder, crashed down from the sky like a falling meteor.

Wherever it passed, it left behind a thick afterimage of lightning!

In an instant, everyone present was drawn to that enormous figure.

Its body was enormous, and its limbs were covered with thick black scales that kept flashing. Each flash was accompanied by crackling black arcs of electricity. On its forehead, two black dragon horns that looked like lightning were filled with thunder.

Black Thunder Dragon King!

The Black Thunder Dragon King stood thirty meters tall, its massive jaws agape, revealing sharp fangs, before it roared fiercely:
"roar!!!!"

With a low roar, the entire world seemed to tremble. Nearly a hundred bolts of lightning fell from the sky and struck the giant shark warship from the dark clouds.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The dark sea suddenly became as bright as day!
The lightning strike stopped ten seconds later, and at that moment, a short man stepped onto the Black Lightning Dragon King's slender neck covered in spiky scales and climbed onto the Black Lightning Dragon King's head.

This dragon tamer, in his thirties, had slicked-back, oiled golden hair, and his golden dragon eyes showed no fear or reverence whatsoever.

How to Train Your Dragon!
His calm yet malicious gaze swept across the surroundings, from the distant Ghost Ship to the Tiger Shark Admiral on the Giant Shark warship.

Then, he twisted his neck and uttered only one simple word:

"Dry!"

In the sky, countless flying thunder dragons swept across the heavens, while Tiger Shark General aimed his whale-hunting spear at Dragon Tamer King Jay.

With a deafening roar of war drums, the Flying Thunder Dragon charged toward the barrier of the Giant Shark warship, its cannons aimed at the naval vessels surrounding it, splinters and debris flew everywhere, and flames soared into the sky.

The navy was not to be outdone and quickly returned fire. Amidst the clash of cannons, the sea surface was instantly ignited by the fire, with huge columns of water surging up and crashing down.

At the same time, the small boats of both sides began boarding combat. The Tiger Shark Squad, fueled by the passion of war, brandished their swords, risking their lives and fearing no pain, and roared as they charged at the pirates. Blood and sweat mingled together, and the roars drowned out the sound of war drums. In an instant, the sea was filled with figures fighting, and blood stained the sea red in a flash.

Amid the chaos, Chen Qi raised his hand and said:
"Start the engines!"

Rumble! The Ghost Ship, located far from the battlefield, accelerated at full speed, preparing to circle around to the pirates' blind spot, then activate its Space Leap Engine to break through the pirates' encirclement and rush directly to the back garden.

Suddenly, Chen Qi's intuition gave him a faint sense of being watched, and he looked towards Pei Lu behind him.

"It's been a long time since I've seen that troublesome reporter from the White Dove Times..." Chen Qi thought to himself.

Breaking news! The situation is critical! Peroo's heart pounded as she pointed her camera at the center of the ocean.

Tiger Shark General jumped off the warship, holding a two-meter-long whale-hunting spear, stood on the sea, and then thrust it at Black Thunder Dragon King.

Tiger Shark Admiral laughed loudly:
"Jay! So many years have passed, and even as a legend, you're still the same—only daring to hide behind weak prey!!!" "Old man!"

Jay, the Dragon Master, stood atop the dragon's head, his eyes flashing with rage.

On the vast ocean, waves surged forth. The two-meter-tall tiger shark general, wielding a whale-hunting spear, was like a dragon hunter from the legends of the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom. With his immense strength, he clashed with the claws of the thirty-meter-tall Black Thunder Dragon King, unleashing unprecedented lightning and waves.

At the same time, cannonballs from both fleets pierced the sky and shot towards the two men.

Unlike naval battles between Tier 3 fleets, naval battles like this, where each side has a Legendary ship, employ an exceptionally simple tactic: the 'encirclement tactic'!
Legendary superhumans are like crystals; once one side's legend is defeated, the other side has almost no chance to fight back.

Therefore, both fleets have only one goal: to reduce the support and health of their respective leaders as much as possible, and to find the right opportunity to use their trump cards against the other's legendary ships.

Countless eyes, some glaring with predatory intent, others filled with dread, were all fixed on the duel between Tiger Shark General and Black Thunder Dragon King.

Perlu's heart raced, and she said nervously:
"Today marks the second legendary battle between the Navy and the Black Whales since the Rift Tide. The success of this battle will determine the morale of the entire Navy. If we win, the Navy's morale will be greatly boosted, and the situation on the entire sea will change!"
Conversely, if the Giant Shark warship is sunk, all the naval personnel and adventurers involved in the battle will be taken prisoner. No, given the Dragon King's tyranny, if the navy loses this battle, everyone present will become food! Everything will be ravaged by the dragons!
Currently, neither Dragon Master Jay nor Tiger Shark Admiral has unleashed their full power, resulting in a stalemate. Therefore, the key to breaking this stalemate may lie with one of the most renowned supernovas among the third-tier fighters!

As she spoke, Peluru excitedly turned her head to look at Anne beside her.

As a journalist, she could sense that Ann had not yet unleashed her full potential and was still hiding some secrets.

An, it's your turn!

An closed her eyes and stood like a robot:

"According to the Hunter Association's orders, my objective is not to support the main battlefield, but to sail a small boat alone to raid the back garden of the Dragon Flower Islands, so as to prevent the Dragon King from escaping back to the back garden after his defeat."

A surprise attack from the rear... Peru blinked her bright, sparkling eyes:

"Miss An, do you have any information about the back garden of the Dragon Flower Islands?"

"No."

Perlu pondered for a moment and said:

"According to my intelligence, the Dragon King has deployed a considerable number of troops and traps in the rear to prevent adventurers from taking the opportunity to plunder his wealth, and he hasn't provided you with any support or intelligence yet."

"A ten-person exploration team, plus a mechanic without a mech, and an old man with a mental illness caused by the Black Hunter, sending you to break into the base camp? Isn't this just sending you to your deaths? Can you really do it?"

Huh? Ann and Dia and the old man Blue Flame beside him were dumbfounded. This reporter actually spoke their innermost thoughts in front of the Tiger Shark Navy.

Peru made a sarcastic remark, which caused the tiger shark navy below her to reveal bloodshot eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Cough cough."

Peluru quickly changed the subject and adjusted the camera's direction, pointing it at the distance:
"By the way, is that ship traveling at full speed the vanguard ship you're planning to use to raid the back garden?"

"???"

Anhedia, the old man with blue flames, and the others looked into the distance in the direction of Peru.

A ship laden with flowers is speeding up, and judging from its route, it looks like a vessel frightened by the scenes of war and trying to escape the area.

Whose troops are those?

Why does the size of this ship feel somewhat familiar...?

To disguise the Ghost Ship, the Flower Witch made extensive modifications to it, including placing numerous flowers and altering it to make it resemble a golden bird-themed passenger ship.

Ann, Dia, and the old man Blue Flame stared at the Ghost Ship for a long time without looking away.

It was a strange feeling, as if there were people they cared about on the ship.

Perlu closed her eyes and said:
"Why do I feel that amidst the thunder, there's a slight tremor in the surrounding space?"

The space trembled? At that moment, the old man with blue flames suddenly realized what was happening. His tired eyes instantly turned into anger and terror. He hurriedly stood up and roared with all his might:
"It's the Black Hunter's ghost ship! Salvage ship ahead, use your hulls to stop it!!!"

Black Hunter!
For a moment, the two victims, An and Dia, along with the other naval personnel, looked at the ghost ship in the distance, their eyes flashing with indescribable complex emotions.

Black Hunter, has he gone mad? How dare he come before them! Before a legend!

However, although the discovery came too late, fortunately, a salvage ship from Campfire Energy Company was still parked along the Black Hunter's route.

Amidst the old man Blue Flame's hysterical roars, the captain of the salvage ship adjusted its course, increased its speed, and prepared to use its hull to block the Ghost Ship's advance!

The captain of the salvage ship did not hesitate; the old man Blue Flame's gold coin reward was enough to buy a big house in Moonstone City.

It's all worth it as long as we can stop the Black Hunters' ships!
"What do we do, Captain!"

"Bri, who was piloting the Ghost, asked hurriedly."

Finn was somewhat terrified; her disguise of the ship was quite perfect, yet she was still recognized.

Dark lightning bolts shot out from the ship!

To initiate a spatial leap, a straight-line acceleration is required, and at their current speed, they are unable to change direction!
However, if it suffers significant damage along the way, the spatial leap may fail.

If they cannot successfully initiate a spatial leap, they are lambs to the slaughter.

As they watched the salvage ship approaching their path, Finn and Brie's hearts suddenly raced.

The Ghost continued to accelerate, while the salvage ship activated its barrier, pushing its speed to its maximum.

Chen Qi said in a deep voice:
"Isn't the ocean wide and spacious? Just crash into it!"

A direct collision? Brie's hands trembled uncontrollably, but in this critical moment, his brain couldn't think straight. He pushed the lever forward and continued to accelerate!
go ahead!

Boom! The Ghost Ship activated the unfinished barrier.

At that moment, Brie, Finn, and the Water Sprite silently closed their eyes.

The salvage vessel was moving quickly, and its bow was already blocking the Ghost's path.

"It's your turn to take charge..." Chen Qi flicked his fingers lightly.

In an instant, just as the salvage ship was about to move forward, a ferocious, pitch-black dragon head emerged from the sea, smashing through the salvage ship's defensive barrier and knocking it back before quickly disappearing into the ocean.

This collision completely disrupted the salvage operation!
boom--

In the next instant, with a deafening roar, the Ghost slammed into the salvage ship and sailed into the spatial rift.

A buzzing sound echoed through the space, and the ghost ship that had just appeared among the crowd vanished instantly.

The crew aboard the giant shark warship were thrown into disarray by the howling sea breeze.

"Is that a space engine? That's amazing! I wonder how much it would cost to buy one."

"A bald-headed navy man exclaimed."

Even money can't buy it! The old man with blue flames clenched his mechanical fists and gritted his teeth, which were almost breaking.

I finally saw the Black Hunter again, but he got away again!

Everyone's gaze was fixed on the direction the ghost ship had traveled, where only a long trail of waves remained.

At this moment, only An, head bowed, gazed at the dark shadow in the depths of the sea, muttering to herself in bewilderment:
"The overlord of the near seas...why is he here?"
