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

Chapter 318 The Fog of Desire
brush!
Fen raised her slender right hand and clapped at Chen Qi.

Chen Qi quickly drew his sword, held it horizontally in front of him, and parried it.

Tick ​​tock!Tick ​​tock!
Fen's fragile right hand struck the blade, and bright red blood dripped from her fair skin onto the ground, turning into countless blood flowers.

"Well, well, well..."

Fen was panting heavily as her blood flower disease grew uncontrollably.

“Fen…”

Chen Qi asked a question.

However, the black mist on Fen's face did not change; instead, a wicked smile appeared on her lips, and more and more blood-red flowers appeared on her body.

Chen Qi took a step back to observe Qi Fen's condition.

Blood Flower Disease is a powerful disease rooted in the heart and the source of spiritual energy, like a curse.

The black mist of the Misty Sea can cause hallucinations and madness, and the ultimate result is that people are twisted into deformed beings.

If Finn cannot control herself, she is very likely to turn into a flower-like monster covered in flowers.

Blood Flower Disease, hallucinations, fog, and obvious signs of berserk behavior... Chen Qi took a deep breath, wary of Fen's attacks while searching for the enemy hiding in the shadows.

This black fog is abnormal!
Normally, even under the influence of the black mist, a fourth-tier legendary figure would never fall into madness so easily, and exhibit obvious abnormal 'distortion and madness'.

Suddenly, from within the black mist a kilometer away, a faint, ethereal laugh echoed:

"Three thousand."

Numbers? Chen Qi immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.

In the thick black fog, there seemed to be a figure standing on a small wooden boat, rowing with oars.

From within the hazy black mist, a pair of crimson eyes emerged, looking at Kigg inside the lighthouse, and once again let out a contemptuous laugh:

"eighty."

"He, he's here..."

Upon hearing the number, Kigg screamed in terror. He kept backing away, and in his immense fear, he even began to bang his head against the wall!
"What is that monster in the black mist saying?! Can it wake up the Flower Witch?!"

Buri roared, shielding the water sprite in front of him.

The black mist severely impairs spiritual energy detection, so Chen Qi can only observe the surrounding scenery.

The monster in the distance was reciting numbers, and doing so very steadily, while piloting a small wooden boat.

Meanwhile, on that small boat, one could see the faint glow of an oil lamp.

He was equally afraid of the Misty Sea's waters and the monsters in the night, which proved that the other party was human... Chen Qi made a rough guess in his mind.

If the opponent is a legendary figure, they will most likely launch an attack directly.

As expected, there is a very high probability that the other party is the "Deep Sea Merchant" mentioned in the intelligence, a mad and special superhuman.

Using a special 'black mist' to lure enemies, and then using the 'enemies' to create chaos, is a common tactic used by deep-sea merchants.

In a head-on one-on-one fight, Chenqi is confident of defeating the Deep Sea Merchant.

However, the troublesome thing now is that the strongest apothecary, controller, and legend in their team has fallen into an inexplicable madness.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Finn gasped for breath, and then, after a soft laugh, she completely succumbed to a state of frenzy.

brush!
It's coming... Chen Qi prepares to fight back.

In the next instant, Fen smiled again and reached out her hand.

However, this time it wasn't a slap, but more like a mother's caress to her child, a gentle stroke...

boom!
Chen Qi immediately held the knife horizontally in front of his chest.

Finn's movements did not change.

This palm strike was unexpectedly gentle, almost like a playful toy, and tinged with a few bright red petals.

A petal gently landed on his face, and the moment it touched him, the skin on Chen Qi's right cheek cracked and dripped to the ground.

boom!
Chen Qi suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, as if he had been subjected to endless labor in an instant, all his energy had been drained away, leaving him completely at the mercy of others...

The Flower Witch's power is to manipulate the energy of 'life'.

In that brief moment, Chen Qi was completely unable to move, like a lamb to the slaughter.

Fen gently placed her hand on Chen Qi's bleeding cheek and licked her bright red tongue:

"I'll eat you..."

"You eat me..." Chen Qi realized.

Not all aberrations lead to violence; some may result in 'loss of reason' but a more moderate state.

Chen Qi stepped back, immediately snapping out of the brief daze of having his life drained, and created distance.

Finn did not completely descend into rage, but rather into a 'gentle' state, which meant that he could look for an opportunity to restrain his opponent!
The next second, Fen, whose body was covered in blood flowers, raised her head, like a vampire craving blood, and put her fingers, stained with Chen Qi's blood, into her mouth and licked them.

Then, she tilted her head, twisted her neck, and stared at Chen Qi, trying to crave more blood.

Craving blood and spiritual power... Chen Qi roughly understood Fen's current situation and formulated a plan in his mind.

Fen quickened her pace, gracefully walking towards Chenqi, step by step.

She reached out her right hand to Chen Qi again, wanting to touch his chest with her index finger.

Bang! Chen used the blade to parry the finger, and then deep blue flames ignited at the top and bottom of the blade.

This time, the deep blue flames successfully blocked the witch's petals.

The speed wasn't fast either... Chen Qi took a deep breath.

Based on this situation, he was confident he could beat Fen into regaining consciousness.

However, suddenly, the familiar laughter from the black mist returned once more.

The voice slowly said:

"Fifty."

However, this time was different from the previous two. This time, the voice was unusually close, only fifty meters away from him!
Chen Qi quickly moved away and looked towards the shore.

boom!
In the thick black fog, a small wooden boat is moored on this desolate lighthouse island.

A pair of boots covered in seaweed emerged from the mist and stepped onto this land.

At this moment, Chen Qi finally saw the full picture of this 'enemy in the shadows'.

This was a tall, muscular man with sunken eyes and long, messy hair like seaweed. He wore a magnificent merchant's robe, but the robe was already rotten, and his exposed skin was riddled with countless festering holes.

However, the most crucial element was the enormous golden toad with a fish tail wrapped around him.

The toad, like a python, was tightly coiled around his waist, while its enormous golden head rested on his shoulder, giving him an extremely bizarre and distorted appearance.

This is… Brie was completely overwhelmed by fear. Lacking any spiritual senses, he even felt that the person in front of him was larger and more terrifying than the Black Thunder Dragon King, the Dragon Tamer.

"What the hell are you?"

"Bri asked nervously, his steel right arm already burning hot," he said.

The merchant ignored Brie, holding a fresh corpse in his left hand. The corpse rapidly shrank and condensed in his hand, eventually transforming into a hairy, fleshy coin.

On the coin is engraved a distorted human face and the number '50'.

Then, he bent his hand and held up the coin. The golden toad on his shoulder saw this, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed the fleshy coin covered in blood and hair.

"The coin-making of a corrupt merchant..."

Brie was so shocked by what she saw that she was speechless.

He had always heard that in certain corners of the Kingdom of Bet, some corrupt bettors could turn humans into currency, but he had never seen it.

He seemed to see his own head imprinted on the coin. The merchant, entangled by the golden toad, ignored Bry and instead looked at Chen Qi, who had distanced himself.

He looked at Chen Qi, raised his neck, and said in a loud voice:

Two hundred and fifty!

This guy, the Mist Merchant… Chen Qi no longer hesitated, dark flames ignited behind him, ready to activate the Touch of Residual Flames at any moment.

The Mist Merchant is a classic boss in the Mist Sea, an extremely terrifying and disgusting monster!

Chen Qi remembered some information about the other party.

This is a boss that is closely related to An. It once pushed An Aotian to the brink of despair. In the end, if An hadn't comprehended the domain technique on the spot, it would have been impossible for him to defeat this monster.

Before that, he had been hiding in the nightmare of the Misty Sea, turning countless people into coins to complete his twisted, insane ritual of trading with the Great Whale.

Powerful and twisted, living in the Misty Sea, a grotesque and terrifying merchant with black blood flowing through his veins.

Even in the Misty Sea, a legend who is not careful enough may perish at his hands.

The other party is the most powerful 'merchant' in the shallow layer of the Misty Sea, far stronger than all the 'deep-sea merchants' of the Sea God Pirate Crew.

At the same time, he enjoys meeting everyone and expressing his value.

The merchant gave him an estimate of 250 ancient coins.

Seeing the horrified look on Brie's face, the Mist Merchant pulled a long knife covered in green slime from the mouth of the toad on its shoulder.

A golden toad that can store items and trade with the world of shells.

The embers are still burning!

Chen Qi no longer held back his strength, and with a single step, he flashed in front of the Mist Merchant.

"Aren't you going to do anything about your junior pharmacist?"

The Mist Merchant grinned and blocked the attack.

Then, he turned his head to look at Finn, who was out of control on the island:

"On this island, those afflicted by a curse and suffering from a serious illness will rapidly undergo malignant mutations and eventually transform into monsters..."

“Under my ‘Mist of Desire,’ if you leave her alone, coupled with the curse of this Lighthouse Island, a legend will turn into an unimaginable monster…”

The Mist Merchant placed his longsword on his shoulder and spoke coldly.

A curse, a fog of desire… Chen Qi was utterly astonished.

According to the Mist Merchant, Finn became like this because of the combined effects of his attack, the black mist, and his mist of desire.

Fen completely ignored the Mist Merchant. She looked at Chen Qi, bit her finger, and the flowers on her skin became more and more numerous and vibrant!

We must deal with both the mysterious merchant and Finn's loss of control at the same time!

In the next instant, Chen Qi flashed to the right of the Mist Merchant like a gust of wind.

"it's useless……"

"The Mist Merchant said casually, and thrust his slime sword at Dawn."

Pfft!

The flames were burning hot, but the moment he thrust them out, they suddenly missed their target!

He only struck an afterimage!
"What speed!" The Mist Merchant turned around abruptly.

Slash! Chen Qi wielded his sword with both hands and slashed at the mist merchant in front of him.

Interesting... A dark red line of blood was slashed across the Mist Merchant's arm, and at the same time, scalding deep blue flames followed!

The next second, the golden toad on his right shoulder suddenly spat out black water, extinguishing the arm on his body.

boom!
Chen Qi did not give the other party time to rest.

Having consumed the Sage-level 'Wind Spirit Elixir', all his attacks are now like afterimages, difficult to catch!

The Mist Merchant is indeed very strong; he even defeated An Aotian and pushed him to the brink of defeat!
However, at this moment, Chen Qi already possessed the strength to fight against legends.

Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
Without any hesitation, Chen Qi unleashed a series of Black Wave Slashes, the scorching blade energy pouring onto the body of the Mist Merchant before him.

Large amounts of black blood gushed from the Mist Merchant's body, and even the golden toad on his body let out a painful wail.

However, at this moment, the Mist Merchant, who had been severely injured, showed no fear, but instead couldn't help but smile.

Within the Misty Sea, spiritual perception is useless, meaning that people are easily ambushed!

"O fog of desire, unleash it..." The Mist Merchant revealed a crescent-shaped smile, quietly anticipating the performance to come.

Fen, in her mutated state, had quietly reached Chen Qi's back and stretched out her slender hand towards him!

A mad legend, a witch inspired by the mist of desire—this is the trump card that allows the Mist Merchant to dare set foot on this land!

"Whether you're a hunter or an investigator, living outside for too long has made you forget what the monsters of the Misty Sea look like, forget what true terror is..."

I am the master of this mist... The Mist Merchant spreads his arms, exposing his weaknesses, and revels in the clash of Dawn.

However, to his surprise!

quack!quack!
Twelve tentacles sprouted from Chen Qi's back and suddenly grabbed Fen's outstretched right hand.

"Ok?"

Then, Fen paused noticeably.

This brief pause resulted in Finn's entire body being entangled by tentacles!

Chen Qi showed no mercy, his tentacles suddenly wrapping around Fen from behind, lifting her high into the air and restricting her movements.

My tentacles can't hold Fen for long. I must deal with the Mist Merchant as soon as possible... A cold glint flashed in Chen Qi's eyes as he gripped the hilt of his sword tightly with both hands.

Black Waves —

A powerful, deep blue flame blazed fiercely on the blade!

Death Coil! Without hesitation, Chen Qi used his tentacles to infuse Fen with the poison of death's pain and pleasure.

Only pain can bring Fen back to her senses in this state!

However, to his surprise, Finn, bound by the tentacles, did not struggle. She simply grabbed the tentacles with her hands and licked her bright red tongue.

"like……"

In his frenzied state, Fen seemed to completely disregard the tentacles' toxins and entanglement as hostile attacks, instead thoroughly enjoying this state.

The pleasant state of mind of a flower.

"like???"

Chen Qi couldn't understand Fen's current state, but the blade in his hand was already poised to strike!

The scorching deep blue flames burned across this land like roaring waves!

A legendary madman, so weak, not even fighting back... The Mist Merchant sensed something was wrong.

The state that 'Fen' was in was completely different from everyone else he had ever encountered!
He made a quick decision and prepared to create distance.

However, four hands of dark fire firmly gripped his limbs!
cut!
Chen Qi suddenly unleashed a powerful slash, unleashing a torrent of blue deep-sea fire that stirred up countless shockwaves!

In that instant, the Mist Merchant's blood and flesh melted in the flames, turning him into a living corpse, emitting painful howls!
opportunity!

The instant Chen Qi finished slashing, he used his tentacles to pull Fen to his front.

Bound by tentacles, Fen saw Chen Qi and reached out again, trying to touch his face!

Fen smiled slightly again, and blood-red flowers bloomed on her head:
"I'll eat you up~"

Eat me? Chen Qi, covered in blood, exhaled coldly.

This time, he didn't hesitate, and a loud, deep blue flame slammed into Fen's face.

Snapped!
