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

Chapter 307 Fame in the Sea
Forming an army from us? To fight the Black Hunters and the Witch?
The Tiger Shark squad, who were drinking and cheering, stopped abruptly.

The Tiger Shark Squad was known for its ferocity and madness, but upon hearing the Tiger Shark Admiral's order, they couldn't help but take a step back.

In fact, if it were before, they would have sent out a pursuit force long ago, but the achievement of defeating the Dragon King was simply too dazzling.

You should know that the top headline in Pero's newspaper was "The Dragon King's Defeat!"

If they were really allowed to fight the Black Hunter and the Witch, the Witch would probably bind them with vines first, and then the Black Hunter would whip them with his tentacles until they screamed.

They couldn't fight back; they could only take the beating while praising the witch and hunter for their skill. They were just a pawn in the witch and hunter's game.

An was silent for a moment, then shook her head:
"Currently, unless we are fully prepared, we cannot capture them by selecting people from the Tiger Shark Squad alone. Moreover, the Flower Witch has already been promoted to Legendary, so she probably now possesses the secret arts of life, just like the legendary witch."

"No one knows about the Black Hunter's vast background, while the Flower Witch is a newly born legend..."

Tiger Shark General crossed his arms, frowned, and even glanced at Peru from the White Dove newspaper.

In the Witch Sea, besides the four major pirate crews, the navy, and the company, the only powerful supernatural organization highly involved in the Witch Sea incident is the White Dove Newspaper.

Could it be that the Black Hunter works for the White Dove Newspaper? Or perhaps, for the Black Blood Empire?

"This time, the Witch Sea has finally reached the point where legends emerge and monsters appear."

Tiger Shark Admiral couldn't guess the Black Hunter's identity.

With the intensification of the rift tides, the emergence of legends is only a matter of time.

However, he did not expect that the Flower Witch would be able to advance to the Legendary rank before Hagrid of the Sea God Pirates.

Most importantly, the resources for advancing to legendary status were not a gift from those in high positions, but were forcibly snatched from the arrogant Dragon King by the witch and the hunter.

After a two-second pause, Tiger Shark Admiral took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Legend is a stage, but to truly become a powerful legend, one needs a lot of resources. The strength of witches and hunters is not invincible."

Furthermore, according to the footage from the White Dove newspaper, the Flower Witch suffered severe injuries, and due to the use of a life-saving technique, she will not recover in the short term.

"If we want to capture the Black Hunter and the Witch, the best opportunity is within a month. But the key is that the front lines are tense right now, and I can't investigate this matter personally. Currently, the bounty hunters in Moonstone City are handling this."

"The bounty hunters of Moonstone City..."

An felt a vague sense of unease.

Unlike the bounty hunters in places like Black Mine City, the bounty hunters in Moonstone City are skilled at tracking and have mastered many covert assassination techniques. Their former leader was a retired fringe hunter.

However, the bounty hunters in Moonstone City demanded extremely high prices, requiring not only twice the amount of coins on the bounty order but also a large amount of extraordinary resources.

The bounty hunters of Moonstone City are more like assassins than bounty hunters.

Tiger Shark Admiral said in a deep voice:
"According to my information, after discussions, the nobles of Moonstone City hired Moonstone City's bounty hunters at great expense."

That's the Flower Witch class card, which grants mastery of the secrets of life. You should know that if one can manipulate life energy, coupled with a highly skilled doctor, countless perfect forbidden surgeries can be performed.

A nobleman hired a hunter to arrest the Flower Witch in order to obtain the Witch Job Card… Anne blinked and pondered for a moment.

The most powerful noble family in Moonstone City is the Magic Bullet family, to which the Navy Admiral belongs. This family actually wants a 'Flower Witch' class card.

Aside from the White Gull General who married into the family, Ann had no good feelings towards this family that ruled Moonstone City.

Tiger Shark Admiral smiled; he held this young prodigy from Marlowe Town in high regard.

"To be honest, my old friend told me that if we could really capture the Flower Witch, they would be willing to give us any one of the thirteen legendary class cards as a reward."

"Ann, you're only one step away from becoming a legend. Seize this opportunity before the Flower Witch has had enough rest, if you truly want to possess the power to protect others."

According to Tiger Shark's observation, Ann already has the qualifications to be promoted to Legend, and all he lacks is a Pro Card.

In fact, given An's current strength, if she chose to join the family of Bonfire Energy Company or Magic Bullet Company, with her qualifications, she might have a benefactor who would grant her a long-forgotten legendary professional card.

If Ann is unwilling, then this bounty mission to hunt down the witch and the black hunter is Ann's best opportunity.

Tiger Shark General pinches his thumb and forefinger into a small circle:
"While the Witcher and the Black Hunter are a bit challenging, it's still quite possible for you."

"Thank you for reminding me, I will seize this opportunity."

An said coldly.

After the two finished their discussion, another exclamation from the Navy came from beside Peru:
"The Dragon Master went to sea with the Black Hunter, and was immediately seriously injured after they reached the surface! In other words, the Black Hunter and the Witch severely injured the Dragon Master underwater!"

“Interesting, very interesting. If this Black Hunter didn’t come from an opposing force, he might be my Tiger Shark Admiral’s adopted son.”

Tiger Shark Admiral laughed a few times upon seeing the scene before him. Unlike the other two admirals, as an admiral, all five of his children had perished on this Witch Sea.

"..."

Ann froze for a moment, and after Tiger Shark General left, she silently looked at her right hand.

Within the lines of her palm, a tiny crack opened slightly, and behind the crack, there seemed to be an endless blue space, where spiritual energy spiraled and intertwined, as if it were inexhaustible.

A gentle breeze blew by, and the tiny crack in her hand instantly closed.

At this moment, Peru couldn't help but exclaim:
"It's decided! The main title is 'The Defeat of the Legendary Dragon Tamer!' The subtitle is 'A Noble Legend, Tortured to His Knees by the Tentacles and Vines of a Witch and a Hunter!'"

Wow! The moment the newspaper headline was published, a gasp of amazement erupted from the surrounding navy.

“Ms. Perlu, your naming style is very much like Ms. Lilith’s.”

The navy exclaimed in surprise, knowing that a newly launched "mystery guessing column" had compiled all sorts of bizarre guesses about famous figures such as "the witch and the hunter", "the love-hate relationship between Grandma Carol and the short dragon tamer", and "the love story between the irritable blade witch and the rebellious pirate Fenrir the wolf".

With these sensational newspapers, Lilith has sold a large number of newspapers, becoming the best-selling editor at White Dove Newspaper, and even has the potential to become the editor-in-chief with the highest total sales at White Dove Newspaper.

"..."

An glanced at Peilu speechlessly, then silently clenched her fist.

Can I really beat the Black Hunter? Ann began to doubt her own power.

After this battle, the names of the witch and the hunter will truly resound throughout this sea.

As for these two people, President An had a sense of déjà vu and also made some bold guesses.

However, all speculations need to be verified through practice.

As Tiger Shark Admiral said, if she wants to capture Black Hunter and Witch, this month may be her last chance.

The winds of victory blew gently by.

Amid cheers from the navy, news of the navy's capture of the Dragon Flower Islands and the defeat of the Dragon Tamer spread throughout the Witch Sea on the sea breeze.

……

……

The next day, around six o'clock in the morning, just as dawn was breaking.

The logging island, where many refugee boats have gathered, is still shrouded in a jubilant atmosphere from last night until now, thanks to the great victory of the Longhua Islands.

"I knew it. The Black Whale Pirates are a joke. I don't know how they can defeat the Navy with a pirate king who's too scared to go to battle."

"Tiger Shark is really amazing, but the fact that those two monsters, the Witch and the Black Hunter, were actually able to defeat the Dragon Master is terrifying."

"Of course! Haven't you heard the legend of the Flower Witch? Legend has it that hundreds of thousands of marines were buried by the Flower Witch!"

"However, the Flower Witch is the successor of the Flower Witch. Who is the Black Hunter, and what is his relationship with the Flower Witch? I dare to guess that they are siblings."

"No, I guess the Black Hunters might have some kind of leverage over the Flower Witch, or they might all come from a mysterious supernatural organization."

Inside a dilapidated boat in a corner.

The witch... Fen, lying in bed, woke up amidst the commotion of the crowd.

Then, she felt a warm sensation on her lips.

What is it? It tastes so bitter… Fen’s lips moved slightly, she opened her hazy eyes, and a look of terror immediately appeared on her head.

She had a nightmare where she fell into the sea, was bound by the tentacles of a deep-sea monster, and was eaten. Are you awake? Chen Qi placed the medicine bowl on the bedside table.

"Fen, are you awake? It's time to take your medicine."

After saying that, Chen Qi took out some new potions from his backpack card.

These potions were all masterpieces given to him by the Flower Witch.

Finn slowly sat up and looked around. All around were cozy wooden walls. There was no sea filled with the smell of blood, no dragon looking down on them, and no pitch-black, deep sea.

Only Chen Qi, and Water Sprite No. 2 by her bedside.

Fen's memories slowly surfaced, and she vaguely recalled what happened yesterday. In the deep sea, due to exhaustion and fear, she lost consciousness.

"we won?"

Seeing the scene before her, Fen gripped the blanket tightly and asked nervously.

"Yes, we won, and we got a pretty good haul. And, Finn, you're a legend now..."

Chen Qi silently pulled out the 'backpack card' from How to Train Your Dragon to prove to Fen that the two of them did not meet in heaven.

Under his influence, although the Flower Witch did not receive the full support of the Blood Blade Pirates, she escaped unscathed and successfully rose to the rank of Legend.

"I am a legend..."

Fen took a deep breath and felt her entire body, from her forehead to her abdomen. Her body had undergone a qualitative change, and her spiritual energy source was at an unprecedented level.

"Yes, and a legend who has mastered the art of life."

Chen Qi affirmed.

"Wakuwaku! (Congratulations! Congratulations!)"

Water Sprite No. 2 hopped and presented its owner with a small yellow flower.

"legend!"

Fen finally loosened her clenched hands and accepted the flowers.

Inside the boat were Chen Qi and the Water Spirit, while outside, people were engaged in lively discussions.

The heartwarming scene before her gradually helped her emerge from the fear of battling the Dragon King and the deep sea.

A few playful little yellow flowers seemed to pop up on her head, and her orange-red eyes fixed on Chen Qi, a mischievous smile appearing on her face.
"How was it? Qi, wasn't my life energy delicious, restoring your energy?"

As she spoke, Fen extended her right index finger, which was wrapped in bandages, and channeled her spiritual energy, looking arrogant.

Finn continued confidently:

"Qi, you are also seriously injured, but don't worry. Just lie down obediently in bed and receive this witch's life essence, and all your injuries will heal!"

As she spoke, Fen reached out and pulled Chen Qi onto the bed, preparing to forcibly use life-infusion to heal his injuries.

Infuse me with the essence of life? Fen, what are you talking about? Are you dreaming or have you gone mad?
boom!
Chen Qi suddenly stretched out his right hand and tapped Fen's head, which was covered with little yellow flowers.

"pain!"

Finn lowered her head, clutching her chin, wondering why she still felt such intense pain even after advancing to the Legendary level.

Chen Qi sighed and slowly said:
"The art of life infusion is risky; do not use it indiscriminately."

Life Infusion, in essence, is a powerful and extremely convenient technique for extracting life energy.

However, it is not without side effects. This energy can help the body grow and recover quickly, but it is also very easy to get out of control.

For example, the goal might be to heal the arm, but during the treatment process, due to excess life energy, an extra arm or an extra mouth might grow.

These extra arms and mouths are called 'deformity', a terrifying disease that damages the very source of life and is difficult to control.

Moreover, and most importantly, the 'life infusion' that Finn used before was very likely used at the cost of her own life force.

While techniques released at the cost of one's own life are powerful, the consequences are also extremely serious, leading to a significant decline in one's physical condition and immunity.

Finn's current serious injury condition also proves one point.

Chen Qi asked:

"Fen, you didn't deplete your life force in this battle, did you?"

"No."

Fen said quietly, and then a guilty little blue flower appeared on her head.

"Approximately how many years of life are consumed?"

Chen Qi shook his head and pressed for an answer.

At the beginning of his advancement, his technique could instantly wither the powerful arms and legs of the Dragon Tamer King, definitely consuming a lot of his life essence.

Fen blinked, and said guiltily:
"Two years, I guess..."

Fen lowered her head, clasped her hands together, and a guilty little blue flower appeared on her head again.

"Ok?"

A fierce glint flashed in Chen Qi's eyes.

"Twenty years, I guess..."

"..."

Upon hearing this number, Chen Qi let out a long sigh.

That's insane! Such a massive amount of energy expenditure would require at least a month of recovery, even for a legendary figure.

Moreover, it may lead to countless diseases in the future.

He instructed in the morning:
"Fen, for the next month, you should stay in bed and avoid strenuous exercise. I have already bandaged your wound. As for the doctor, I will try my best to find a reliable one."

After being bandaged up... Fen looked down at her chest and realized that her chest, abdomen, and back were all wrapped in bandages.

Moreover, she was sleeping in Chen Qi's room and using Chen Qi's blanket!
Who bandaged her up?

Oh! In an instant, a large number of shy little pink flowers sprouted on Fen's head.

"Cough cough, Number Two bandaged you up. Take good care of your wounds. This room is yours for the next month."

Chen Qi coughed and offered an explanation.

Fen covered the small pink flower on her head with her hand, stared at Chen Qi, and was speechless for a moment.

The next second, a knock came at the door.

"Come in."

Chen Qi said.

After a long day of repairing the boat, Brie, with dark circles under his eyes, walked wearily into the vessel.

He took the newspaper, went aboard the ship, and glanced incredulously at the black hunter and the witch.

No one outside would ever imagine that inside this dilapidated dining ship were two masters: a hunter and a witch.

Bree never expected that he would become one of the three monsters in the 'Dragon Taming Battle'.

You should know that his real purpose in contacting Chen Qi at the beginning was just to get a free meal from him.

He just wanted to get a free meal...

"Should I have stayed outside repairing the boat instead of coming at this time?" Brie coughed and said, feigning seriousness.
"Gentlemen, I have the latest newspaper here, and also some good news and bad news from the Ice Demon Pirate Crew. Which would you like to hear first?"
