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

Chapter 313 Hunting
"six people……"

Chen Qi lowered his head and glanced at the crowd below.

Loren the gambler, Dia the mechanic, Nancy the gardener, Gray Rat the thief, and the investigator wearing a silver mask...

"Where's the other one?" Chen Qi placed his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

The next second, a faint, icy breath, like a thin needle, gently pierced the back of his neck.

behind!

Chen Qi suddenly turned around.

The moment he turned around, strands of white hair fell onto his face, and a pair of cold, azure eyes were only ten centimeters away from him.

In addition, a silverwood staff with blue crystal was already aimed at his chest, striking him squarely in the chest.

Greetings, Venerable Master!
An took a deep breath, opened her azure eyes, and gently pushed the staff in her hand:
"gun!"

In an instant, azure spiritual energy flowed along the staff, condensed, transformed, and finally became a powerful spiral, which then burst out from the staff head like a water column breaking through steel!
boom!
Spiritual Cannon is the most basic spell for mages.

However, supported by an extremely large amount of spiritual energy, this spiritual energy cannon fell from the sky like a dazzling white light chariot, smashing him to the ground.

Chen Qi blocked with both hands, but was forced to the ground, his feet leaving sparks as they scraped the ground.

This attack wasn't meant to be fatal; rather, it was intended to send him into the encirclement of the six men.

boom!
The six remaining fiery hands behind Chen Qi, like nails, dug into the rocky ground beneath his feet, withstanding the blow and bringing him to a safe position.

Then, he looked up at Ann on the roof.

Amidst the ripples of spiritual energy, An's feet dangled slightly in the air, her left hand holding a staff, looking down at him from above.

Behind him, gambler Loren reloaded his gun and pointed it at the back of Loren's head.

In the shadows beneath his feet, a dark shadow twisted into a silent hand, stealthily, stealthily, wrapping its arm around his waist.

Nancy straightened her bloodied neck and then spat out a golden seed from her mouth.

Melee mage Anne, Gambler's Gun, Thief's Hand of the Gray Rat Shadow, and Nancy, the Flower Gardener who excels at using plants for attacks...

Before they knew it, the six of them had formed a four-sided encirclement.

Chen Qi touched his chest; his arm was slightly hot, and the flesh on his chest was sunken.

Undoubtedly, the most troublesome one is An, a mage who, even with his extremely high level of intuition, can still conceal his aura and launch highly effective covert attacks.

They were already surrounded, and it was dusk, so the lamplighter's passive role was useless... Chen Qi looked around.

He could hear the sounds of rioting throughout the entire scorched earth town. He was like a monster who had fallen into a town of commoners, except that this town had a lot of police.

A bitter smile appeared on the gambler Loren's thin, frail face.
"Mr. Black Hunter, you're out of luck, but we're not confident we can defeat you without taking any damage. Perhaps we can discuss it and play a little game?"

He was stalling for time... Chen Qi straightened his body, his Dark Flame Hand drawing the hilt of the sword from his waist, ready to strike at any moment.

In this situation, he must choose the weakest point of attack!
Gambler Loren's profession is Gambler, the most common profession in the third tier of Dice, which can increase the luck rate of all probabilistic weapons and items.

Gambler Loren is a typical weapon hunter. Every piece of equipment he wears is a special piece of equipment that depends on probability. As a hunter, if he can get that one percent of luck when he unlocks the Liberation skill, he can even briefly fight a legend!
Gray Rat is a shadow thief. He can manipulate shadows and has multiple rat clones. He is extremely good at escaping and tracking. As the president of the Hunter Association, he has a lot of gadgets. Once you get entangled with him, it is extremely difficult to escape.

Ann's profession is a mage, so logically she should be the easiest vulnerable unit to break through.

However, although her spiritual energy field was still at the third level, at this moment, her spiritual energy was like a wave, echoing throughout the scorched earth town, like an insurmountable high wall.

This immense spiritual power is like an ocean, something a third-tier transcendent should never possess.

Unlike mages who rely on meditation, magical circuits, skills, and spiritual energy to enhance their spiritual power, An's spiritual power far surpasses that of ordinary people due to an unprecedented adventure.

Anne gripped the staff tighter again, pointing it at his head:

"gun!"

Boom! A massive amount of spiritual energy poured out!

Chen Qi's figure moved like a fleeting shadow, dodging the attack.

"Hound's Step Instant Step!"

Gray Rat exclaimed in surprise from afar. This was a unique skill he had painstakingly collected, and he had only sold it to twenty-one people.

As Chen Qi dodged, he quickly turned his head and scanned the entire encirclement.

Undoubtedly, the biggest loophole here is Nancy, the elf hunter and gardener.

Nancy lay on the ground; she had already buried the seeds in the soil.

The Gardener is one of the strongest combat professions among the Tier 3 Flower Classes, characterized by enhanced control and cultivation abilities over all 'Extraordinary Plants'.

It can use extraordinary seeds to quickly create a territory of extraordinary plants on the land. Once it is completed, the final encirclement is completely finished.

Tick ​​tock!Tick ​​tock!
Nancy cut her right hand with a knife, and as the blood dripped down, tiny seeds took root, sprouted, and grew in the scorched earth, nourished by the blood. They then broke through the soil and transformed into enormous flowers.

"Hold on, just a little longer, and I'll be able to summon the Earth Mother's vines to bind the Black Hunter tightly, and then complete this terrifying mission."

Under the influence of the curse, Nancy smiled bitterly and uncontrollably revealed her entire plan.

As a support hunter, she could no longer control herself from activating the 'Taunt' skill.

Nancy sensed the darkness of the side story and, with tears in her eyes, added:
"do not come."

Their preparations were inadequate; did they find me by chance...? Without hesitation, Chen Qi moved like a dark lightning bolt, rushing towards Nancy who was lying on the ground.

Step forward and chop!
As Chen Qi moved forward, he unleashed a slash, and waves of black fire poured out along with the sword energy!

In the blink of an eye, the sharp blade energy reduced Nancy's right hand, along with her blood, to ashes.

At the same time, behind him, An, like an evil spirit, rushed up behind him.

A mage was chasing after a warrior... Chen Qi turned his head and looked at An above his head.

An gripped the crystal staff with both hands, then swung it downwards in a sword-slashing motion:
"cut!"

boom!
The immense spiritual power transformed into a surging wave that rushed towards Chen Qi's body. The powerful wave of spiritual power even blocked the defense of the Darkfire Hand.

boom!
At that moment, his body felt as if it were being struck by a giant hammer, and a tremendous booming sound echoed in his head.

It was the sound of bones breaking... Chen Qi was forced to withstand the attack because he had interrupted Nancy's move.

His injuries from fighting the Dragon Master have not yet fully healed.

call!
Amidst the howling winds of spiritual energy, An quickly returned to her fighting stance, gripping her staff tightly with her right hand once more, gathering spiritual power.

On her right hand, a tiny crack slowly opened, and spiritual power, as vast as the ocean, continuously flowed into the staff.

Under this immense spiritual power, even the specially crafted crystal staff developed damaged patterns.

Take advantage of the victory!

His casting speed and spiritual power were nothing like those of a mage... Despite the pain from his shattered bones, Chen Qi manipulated the Dark Fire Hand behind him to grab his hands and wrap them around his arms like an exoskeleton, forcing him into a horizontal sword stance.

An unstoppable surge of spiritual energy gathered at the tip of the staff.

A hint of disdain flashed in An's proud blue eyes.

He has been driven to the brink of despair!
"Unleash liberation, Black Hunter."

An's words gently stirred Chen Qi's desire, as well as his fear of this move.

In order to cut off Nancy's arm, he exposed too many weaknesses!

The pain of bone piercing flesh spread throughout the body.

Suddenly, Chen Qi felt an unprecedented spiritual power permeating his body and mind.

The prompt pops up.

[You have absorbed a portion of the Moonlight Flower Sea Medicine, Constitution +3, Inspiration +3, Agility +3, and gained the Spiritual Burst and Inspiration Intent states!]

In that instant, Chen Qi felt as if his body was bathed in the ocean, with a continuous flow of spiritual energy surging through his entire body.

My body felt like it was on fire, and I desperately needed to release this immense spiritual power!
The effects of the Sage's Elixir!

Seizing the moment of inspiration, Chen Qi suddenly extended his four dark fire hands, and all six hands simultaneously gripped the hilt of the knife that could cleave flesh and bone.

Sharpening the blade!
A destructive blue flame erupted from the longsword!

A burst of spiritual energy can increase the total amount of spiritual energy, and being engrossed in inspiration can greatly increase inspiration.

Under the surge of inspiration, Chen Qi had already seen An Cheng's moves after he was formed, as well as the weaknesses of these moves.

Chen Qi drew his sword and swung it. The Black Wave Slash cut through everything!
boom!
Both sides unleashed their moves at the same time!

The clash of spiritual energy and flames created a massive wave of fire over the town, and a dazzling white light illuminated the street!
The gambler, Loren, stood at a distance, watching the scene unfold before him:
"They're two monsters."

The gray mouse, meanwhile, was completely absorbed in the scene before it; the outcome of this move was crucial.

As the sea breeze carried the roaring flames, they slowly subsided.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

An gasped for breath, her right hand pressed against her chest. A new scar appeared on her mage robe, and her chest was burning with scalding flames as blood dripped onto the ground.

He was hit... Chen Qi looked at An's disheveled appearance and breathed a sigh of relief.

Sometimes, moving around can help with the digestion of medicine.

With the blessing of the Sage-level potion, the slash he just unleashed was comparable to the Liberation.

but……

Chen Qi turned his head and looked at his right shoulder.

*Splat!* Fresh blood spurted from his right shoulder!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Ann looked at her right palm, and what was on her right palm was not her blood, but the blood of the Black Hunter.

With this strike, she obtained the Black Hunter's blood!

Then, she casually tossed the staff in her left hand to the ground, letting the blue flames devour it completely.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
"Well done! Ann!"

The gambler, Loren, couldn't help but applaud.

"Loren, we are not adequately prepared..."

An said quietly.

The chase was so sudden that she was unable to repair her staff or complete her meditation in time.

Moreover, her right hand trembled, and tiny cracks in her palm were expanding uncontrollably, bit by bit, like the gaping, greedy mouth of a giant beast, ready to devour her whole.

A little exercise after a meal is not bad... Chen Qi felt the powerful spiritual energy in his body.

The attack was too sudden; he wasn't fully prepared.

However, it seems that An has developed a desire to retire due to his own condition.

However, the gambler Loren and the gray rat did not want the fight to end.

Even if they only manage to stall this battle, it will still be a victory for them.

Before An could finish adjusting, he had to leave... Chen Qi took a step back, his boots landing on Nancy's arm.

Suddenly, Nancy hurriedly grabbed a backpack card.

Backpack card, right, this gardener's loot can be taken... The dark, fiery hand behind Chen Qi silently extended, preparing to take the backpack card from this gardener of the Golden Flower and Bird Kingdom.

Suddenly, Nancy sobbed and said:

“Black Hunter, this backpack card is fake. It's full of useless items. The real good stuff... it's all... in the pouch at my waist…”

"Ok?"

Chen Qi stopped what he was doing.

What is this guy talking about?
Should you proactively reveal your most important wallet?
A trap, a temptation, a deception, or just a lapse in judgment... Chen Qi tilted his head in confusion.

"Black Hunter, can you pretend you didn't hear anything? If you didn't hear it, I'll thank you!"

Nancy said in alarm.

Overwhelmed with emotion, she couldn't stay silent; she couldn't help but speak her mind!
"can."

As he spoke, Chen Qi smiled slightly, and with his dark fire hand, he simultaneously took the backpack card from her body and the cloth bag from her waist.

"Goodbye, everyone..."

Then, Chen Qi kicked Nancy away, sending her flying, and then rushed towards the sea with all his might.

"call……"

Chen Qi blew his whistle.

"Chase!"

Gray Rat and Gambler Loren also launched a pursuit at the same time.

Even if Ann can't help, as long as they can delay the Black Hunters until reinforcements arrive, they will ultimately be victorious!

Moreover, they have already formed an encirclement!

The gambler, Loren, looked at the numerous ships on the sea.

"Stop him!"

"As ordered!"

The navy on the dock immediately took action, guarding the area next to the captain's cabin.

The ships in Scorched Earth Town have been taken over by the navy. To prevent the Black Hunters from hijacking them, they even smashed the rudders of the speedboats.

The only option left for the Black Hunter is to travel by sea, but traveling by sea will inevitably result in him being surrounded by the navy's fleet!

As dusk fell, Chen Qi stepped across the sea, and in an instant, he was running on the ocean.

Meanwhile, the gambler Loren and the gray rat also used their sea-walking abilities to keep up with the black hunter.

They are incredibly fast; to be precise, in terms of speed alone, they surpass the Black Hunters!

call……

However, to their surprise, the Black Hunter stopped in his tracks the next instant.

Chen Qi turned around and glanced at the gambler Loren and the gray rat with a puzzled look.

It appears that these people possess items that allow them to track him.

Have you given up, or are you waiting for the witch...? Seeing this, gambler Loren reached out his hand and said:

"Black Hunter, want to play a little longer?"

The dark fire hand behind Chen Qi slowly retracted.

Then, he looked up and casually said:
"No."

"..."

Gambler Loren fell into thought, while the Black Hunter spoke with unusual casualness, as if he had already escaped their all-encompassing encirclement.

On the docks of the scorched earth town, the cannons of numerous ships were all aimed at the hunters before them.

However, in the next instant, something unexpected happened.

The waves crashed onto Loren's trousers.

"and many more--"

Suddenly, the waves beneath their feet began to surge, revealing an unprecedentedly enormous figure.

"Get back!"

The gray mouse hurriedly reminded him.

Driven by an unnamed fear, gambler Loren and Gray Rat immediately distanced themselves from each other.

In the twilight, their gaze followed a black monster upwards...

Scalding hot blood vapor emanated from the dark scales, while the bright red dragon eyes looked down upon the island.

"Goodbye, I have to go home and cook for my crew."

Chen Qi stood atop the towering, near-shore overlord, leisurely munching on a slice of apple pie.
