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

Chapter 314 The Witch's Mysterious Plan

Blood dripped continuously from the gaps in the scales of the near-shore overlord, and its copper bell-like eyes were filled with murderous intent, as it wanted to devour the impudent creature before it.

"Roar!"

The near-shore overlord roared like a wild beast, venting its anger on the vast ocean.

The scalding, blood-red breath stained the sea before them, causing the gambler Loren and the gray rat to take a few steps back. This was the first time they had ever seen someone on the Witch Sea who could control a sea dragon, especially the extremely ferocious Black Ship Sea Dragon!

It seems to have grown taller... Chen Qi squatted down and touched the sharp, hard scales of the near-sea overlord.

Only one day had passed, and the extraordinary item effects in the Dragon Tamer's Backpack Card were enhancing the Near-Sea Overlord's power more than he had imagined.

And this is merely the heart of a Blood King Serpent.

If it can digest all the items, the near-shore overlord might become a hundred-meter-long dragon, possessing the formidable strength of a Black Lantern Dragon.

In that instant, Chen Qi's deep-sea perception allowed him to sense the flow of spiritual energy among the people above the sea, while on the back of the gambler Loren, he could sense a powerful, lamp-like object.

A lamp? Chen Qi shifted his gaze from the gambler Loren, and before leaving, he looked at Ann on the dock.

She patted her chest, her hunter-like blue eyes fixed intently on him.

The next time we meet, no matter what method we use, we have to teach An a lesson... Chen Qi snapped his fingers.

The massive form of the near-shore overlord submerged into the sea and disappeared into this vast ocean.

The people on the dock stared blankly at this horrifying scene. Without the support of the navy, none of them dared to move forward easily.

Only after the bloody aura above the sea dissipated did the crowd emerge from their terror and begin to speak loudly.

"Inadequate preparation".

The gambler, Loren, twirled his pistol and put it back into its holster at his waist.

As one of the people in charge of the operation, he did not expect that they would be able to capture the Black Hunter in such a short time.

"We missed a valuable opportunity."

"I'm going back to shore," the gambler Loren concluded.

Ann reached out and moved her disheveled hair away from her eyes:

"He hasn't used the liberation yet."

Since they couldn't even force the enemy to break free, this encirclement can hardly be called an 'opportunity'.

The gambler, Loren, frowned, forcing a troubled expression on his face.
"It's a pity. If we had been lucky enough, the navy we contacted should have arrived earlier. With the navy's help, even if it has a special sea dragon, we could have formed a complete encirclement."

Then, he forced a smile:
"Fortunately, Ann, you obtained the Black Hunter's blood. This is our chance."

An lowered her head and looked at the blood in her hand.

Although it was only a small amount of blood, it was enough for the next follow-up.

To defeat the Black Hunter, one must enter a new realm... An felt the immense energy surging within her body.

During this battle with the Black Hunter, she could feel herself teetering on the edge of danger, and her control over spiritual energy had become even more proficient.

She had a vague feeling that even without a legendary class card, she could reach a completely new realm, a realm of power unlike any she had ever experienced.

Either they are completely wiped out, or the Black Hunters fall into their hands.

An used his spiritual power to carefully seal the two drops of blood.

Loren took out his mirror again and stroked it carefully:

"This mirror was borrowed. According to the original owner's instructions, we cannot use it more than once a day, and each time it is used, there must be a 'participant' to bear the mirror's curse, otherwise..."

Loren gave a helpless, bitter smile.

"It's borrowed, and can only be used once a day..."

The gray mouse repeated the sentence, its hands unconsciously clenching into fists.

This mirror is highly likely to be a drop from a B-rank rift with an S-rank rating, or even a sealed artifact from an A-rank rift.

In the Belize Meteorological Bureau, the use of items of this caliber requires the approval of three top-ranking investigators and the Belize Royal Capital Forbidden Items Administration.

At the same time, if items of this caliber go missing, it will directly alarm the debt collectors and recyclers of the Kingdom of Bei.

This level of sealed artifact should not appear in their hastily assembled hunter group!
The gray mouse cautiously pressed on:

"If we lose this mirror, what will the owner of the mirror do to us?"

"Um……"

The gambler Loren's expression changed slightly; a hint of excitement and radiance appeared on his thin, lifeless face.
"No, she shouldn't be angry, she shouldn't be. She's not the kind of person who cares about these things. However, her companions might care."

After saying this, the gambler Loren looked towards the distant sea and said in a very low voice:

"This is a high-stakes gamble."

As long as the Black Hunter can be captured, then the problem of the 'mirror' will no longer be a problem.

"High-stakes gambling..."

A brief silence fell over the group. They had a bad feeling that if they failed to capture the Black Hunter, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Ann shook her head and quickly walked to the dock.

The Black Hunter was able to tame the near-shore overlords, and his spiritual energy field was already rich enough... Ann stood on the dock, letting the sea breeze blow through her hair.

Unconsciously, she remembered the Ice Witch's prophecy: when the tide comes, humanoid monsters from the deep sea will descend upon this world.

Even missing just one could cause an unpredictable and devastating disaster.

Monsters must die.

"Perhaps, next time will be my only chance in this lifetime..."

An gazed at the distant waves and clenched her fists.

……

……

Near the Great Whirlpool lies the habitat of the Moonlit Sea Dragon.

Chen Qi drove the near-shore overlord back from the scorched earth town.

"call……"

He woke up early, panting heavily, and looked towards the island.

Finn stood in the center of the island, gazing at the land beneath her feet, her eyes fixed on it for a long time.

After repairing the boat, Brie and the water sprite were resting in a corner of a dilapidated wooden house in the center of the island.

Hearing the sound, he looked up and quickly noticed the dent in Chen Qi's chest and the bloody wound on his shoulder.

"Are you being chased?"

"Yes, we encountered some very troublesome things."

Chen Qi tossed the apple pie from his backpack card to Brie.

I'm starving!

“Fen…”

Chen Qi said something to Fen.

"I'm thinking about our future plans, don't bother me..."

Fen turned her back to him, closed her eyes, and spoke in a rather mysterious manner.

"There's something to eat."

Chen Qi took the apple pie out of his backpack card.

Finn instinctively turned around, calmly walked up to him, and took an apple pie:

"Thinking also needs sugar."

Foodies always have a lot of excuses... Chen Qi thought to himself.

Fen, who hadn't had sweets in a long time, took the apple pie and ate it in small bites.

Then, she quickly noticed Chen Qi's wound.

Chen Qi, dressed simply, recounted his encounter with a Tier 3 hunter in Scorched Earth Town.

"Being hunted down by six top-tier experts..."

Brie crossed her arms over her chest, feeling a bone-chilling cold.

"Qi, you need to seek some protection, the protection of the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom, or the protection of our Ice Demon Pirate Crew. Unfortunately, our captains are mostly on adventures, and well, they also need protection most of the time..."

“Six renowned hunters…” Brie sighed. He tried to put himself in Chen Qi’s shoes; apart from using the 'Captain’s Summoning Spell,' there was absolutely no way to escape.

Chen Qi slowly said:

"Yes, especially Supernova Ann, she's even stronger than I thought."

An is called "An Aotian" for a reason. Besides the various face-slapping plots and fortuitous encounters, she also has some special qualities. When she is on the verge of death, she will have a profound enlightenment and comprehend a completely new realm!
Chen Qi is now confident of defeating An, but only if it's a one-on-one fight and he has sufficient intelligence.

Fen asked instinctively:
"How did they find us? Did they use some special relics?"

"Yes, a mirror with a lampshade..."

Chen Qi confirmed Fen's conjecture.

On the high seas, his deep-sea affinity allowed him to sense the special lamp-like spiritual power on Loren, which must be a mirror, a mirror with tracking capabilities.

"The mirror of the lamp..."

Fen looked puzzled.

"???"

Chen Qi looked curious, and Fen seemed to know the origin of this relic.

Fen explained:

"The lamp relic among the thirteen witches' relics was made into a mirror."

The witch's relic... isn't this exactly what Finn was after...? Chen Qi pressed further.

"Are you sure? That relic is a witch's relic?"

Fen shook her head and sighed:
"I'm not entirely sure. The Witch's Relic of the Lamp Image is in the hands of a top-tier supernatural organization. My teacher once offered a large amount of supernatural materials as payment to borrow this relic, but in the end, that supernatural organization refused..."

Even someone as her teacher couldn't obtain the relics of the Lamp Witch, let alone these third-tier hunters.

"That's not necessarily true..."

Chen Qi thought to himself.

Above the Witch Sea, there is an extremely powerful, yet chaotically managed, extraordinary organization full of brilliant minds and hidden talents: the White Dove Newspaper.

A worried little blue flower appeared on Fen's head:
"If it really is a witch's relic, then even if you buy anti-divination items, or if your intuition is stronger than hers, it will be difficult to avoid being tracked."

"..."

Chen Qi's expression was solemn, and he gently gritted his teeth.

If the other party truly possesses this relic, then his situation is far more troublesome than he imagined.

"I must get to the Misty Sea as soon as possible, obtain the Deep Sea Hunter's class card, and then advance to Legendary..." Chen Qi thought to himself.

However, his preparations are not yet adequate.

Finn's potion was not finished, and besides that, he could not build a powerful enough ship in a short time.

Most importantly, even if everything is ready, it would still be too dangerous for him and Fen to go to the Misty Sea.

Unfortunately, it's impossible to seek help from the Ice Demon Pirates right now.

But regardless, we must move forward.

We must speed things up and advance to Legendary status as soon as possible... Chen Qi looked at the wound on his shoulder.

Ships can be replaced by coastal predators, but medicine is indispensable.

He pulled out the sea chart of the Ice Demon Pirates and asked:

"Fen, when will your potion be finished? What other raw materials do you need?"

To enter the Misty Sea, one must possess a large quantity of Sage's Elixir. However, even with the Fruit of the Moonlit Sea Dragon, collecting other medicinal herbs will still require a significant amount of time.

But the current situation cannot be delayed; they must collect the medicinal herbs in the fastest and most efficient way possible.

Fen smiled slightly as she drank the black tea that Water Sprite No. 2 handed her.

"I have already come up with a plan regarding the acquisition of medicinal herbs."

She extended her index finger and placed it on the sea chart, on the Hundred Flowers Merchant Ship, a trading post frequently visited by the people of the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom.

Rare medicinal herbs are sold on the Hundred Flowers Merchant Ship. At the same time, there are as many as twenty third-tier transcendent beings stationed in this place.

In addition, there are giant beasts called "Mountain Beasts" tamed by the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom, who serve as goalkeepers.

Finn stood up, made a gesture as if waving her staff, and said:
"This place is my plan!"

That tap on the back of the head was so practiced… Chen Qi and Bu Li both showed shocked expressions at the same time:
"You're going to rob the Hundred Flowers Merchant Ship?"

If you want to gather a lot of material in a short period of time, robbery is indeed a good idea.

Moreover, seizing the Hundred Flowers merchant ship is somewhat dangerous for us, but not impossible... Chen Qi shook his head.

However, they are now being targeted by the Black Whale Gang and the Navy.

They'll rob the merchant ships of the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom again...

If things continue like this, won't they become enemies of the world?
Brie whispered something:
"Recently, due to the abundant resources of the Rift Tide, the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom has sent many mysterious superhumans to the Witch Sea. It would be extremely dangerous to rob the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom's ships..."

Fen snorted coldly:
"robbery?"

"You actually think that I, a witch, would devise such a boring plan?"

"???"

Chen Qi fell into thought.

Does Finn have a more secretive plan, perhaps through 'threats'?

Bree took a deep breath, recalling the legend of the Flower Witch, who, in order to obtain a medicinal herb from a saint, planted the seeds of the saint's wife and daughters.

The wife and daughter who had been implanted with the seed were completely reduced to playthings of the Flower Witch.

It is said that when the saint saw his wife and daughters being toyed with by the Flower Witch, he went into an indescribable frenzy.

However, completing these maneuvers is quite difficult...

“Ignorant! How could I possibly use such a boring and utterly uninteresting plan as robbery?”

Is this all you can think of?

Fen shook her head; she was very disappointed in the two people in front of her.

The simplest way to obtain medicinal herbs is certainly not robbery!
Then she stood up, picked up her staff, and gently tapped the ground beneath her feet.

"This witch's plan!"

"It's farming!"

She held the staff as if it were a hoe, making a tilling motion.

Fen's hoeing movements were exceptionally precise; it was clear she was a professional farming expert.

"Farming..."

Chen Qi blinked and tilted his head in confusion.

No, I was misled by her arrogant expression. I should have realized it sooner… Chen Qi muttered to himself.
"As expected of someone who will become the Witch of Vegetables in the future."

Fen rubbed her nose and said smugly:

"My life-giving technique, besides being able to absorb the life energy of plants, can also accelerate their growth."

"Of course, this growth cannot be used on high-grade medicinal herbs, but with the Moonlight Sea Dragon Fruit, even without using high-grade medicinal herbs, one can brew sage-level potions."

"To obtain these medicinal herbs, all you need are seeds and a fertile land. With my life magic, these seeds will grow into rare medicinal herbs in just ten nights."

She took out a green bottle filled with the essence of life and shook it.

"This witch inherited the knowledge of the Flower Witch and has considerable experience in farming."

"Then consider the brewing time of the medicine. As long as we get the seeds and complete these operations, it may only take a month."

These preparations can be completed in a month... After a moment's thought, Chen Qi realized that the plan was fast enough and also reliable enough.

After explaining this series of operations, Fen walked over, patted Chenqi on the shoulder, and gave him a pat.

"Once the potion is brewed, we'll head to the Misty Sea to find the Deep Sea Hunter's class card!"

Then, holding her staff, she spoke coldly in the sea breeze:

"Qi, I, the witch, will assist you in your advancement!"

After speaking, Fen's usually cold and rational lips curled into an uncontrollable smile.
