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

Chapter 346 The Trembling Little Crow
At dawn, the Ghost Ship sailed by, a gentle breeze blowing.

Tick, tick.

Time passed second by second... The little crow leaned against the wall of the captain's cabin, looking at the pocket watch in his hand.

After just three hours of sailing, the sounds of gunpowder and war disappeared, replaced by a tranquil sea breeze and the cries of white seagulls in the sky.

This is the legendary Ghost Ship, said to be able to travel through space and used by witches and hunters to imprison slaves... The little crow nervously looked around, not daring to move an inch.

After boarding the ship, she could smell a faint floral fragrance and hear strange collision sounds from the cabin, but she did not see any people.

The little crow looked around, trying to find more crew members.

According to rumors, after every major event, even though the Black Hunters never actually 'cleaned up the loot,' the loot always mysteriously disappears.

This proves that the Black Hunters have a dedicated battlefield cleanup squad.

To be able to steal the spoils silently in full view of everyone, one must be a skilled and all-around assassin… the little crow thought to himself.

Suddenly, a water sprite, number five, carrying a mop, walked out of the kitchen.

"Ugh (After collecting the spoils and cleaning the toilets, she then cleans the deck.)"

The hardworking Water Sprite No. 5, carrying a custom-made small mop from Brie, began cleaning the deck of grime caused by the tsunami.

brush!brush!brush!
With practice comes skill, and Water Sprite No. 5 quickly transformed the Ghost's filthy deck into something brand new.

That bouncy little body... The little crow stared wide-eyed at the scene with excitement.

Watching the deck go from being full of sewage to being clean always gives me a strange sense of satisfaction!

As a frequent late-night newspaper reader, Little Crow is familiar with the rumors about witches and hunters.

"Are these the slaves who were tortured beyond recognition on the Ghost Ship, as rumored?"

The little crow curled the hair near its earlobe.

So these slaves were water spirits after all?

However, to be able to train the water spirit to this extent, I wonder what methods the witch used.

In legends, deep-sea spirits are extremely rare creatures that lurk in the ocean depths and are very difficult to capture and train.

The ship's speed gradually decreased.

We've arrived at the witch and the hunter's stronghold... The little crow bit its hair, excitedly looking towards the witch's stronghold.

Chen Qi said that he would deal with her problem after they got ashore!

The little crow was especially excited, wondering what the witch's and hunter's headquarters were like.

The next second, one after another, pure white sea dragons emerged from the sea, their radiant bodies resembling sea goddesses bathing in the moonlight!
Pure, elegant, and extremely dangerous!

The legendary Lantern Moon Sea Dragon! The little crow barely hesitated before biting its own finger, trying to use the most basic pain to resist the Lantern Moon Sea Dragon's illusion!

The next second, the Moon Dragon lowered its body, its white, snake-like head approaching her head.

"call!"

The Lantern Moon Sea Dragon opened its mouth and exhaled a thick white breath at her.

The Moon Dragon's white fangs were only ten centimeters away from her!
It wants my life!

"Don't come here!"

The little crow, who loves sea creatures, felt an instinctive fear at that moment because it was facing such a huge object.

However, facing the little crow's terrified eyes, Lantern Moon Sea Dragon did not back down at all.

The white fangs drew closer and closer to the little crow, almost ready to crush its head in the next instant.

"Wakuwaku (Don't block the ship's progress!)"

The next second, an even larger black sea dragon leaped up from the seabed.

Under the guidance of Water Sprite No. 1 atop the dragon's head, the Black Ship Sea Dragon suddenly used its thick tail to lock the neck of the Lantern Moon Sea Dragon, dragging its massive body forcefully into the seabed.

"what?"

The little crow shakily raised its head and looked once again at the huge shadow overhead.

What is this again?
The near-shore overlord's blood-red eyes looked down at it, and thick blood dripped from its rows of sharp dragon teeth onto the deck.

Nourished by the materials from Dragon Tamer, the near-shore overlord now resembles a massive warship.

Above them was a water sprite holding a long sword, resembling a dragon knight.

In that brief moment, her mind went into deep thought.

The next second, Chen Qi's voice came:
"Number One, stop playing around and go share the food with the Moon Dragons. Look at them, they're so hungry they're even begging strangers for food."

With a casual wave of his hand, Chen Qi sent the Black Ship Sea Dragon diving into the seabed and snatching the fish food from the deck. The dragon and the water spirit then stormed into the Moonlight Sea Dragon's lair.

I wonder when the fruit of the Lantern Moon Sea Dragon will ripen a second time... Chen Qi looked at the Lantern Moon Sea Dragon in the distance.

The little crow stared blankly into the distance.

The witch is actually raising a sea dragon, and it's the extremely proud Lantern Moon Sea Dragon!
The rumors say that the hypnotic flowers of the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom can make proud creatures obey humans, and it seems to be true... The little crow immediately thought that the witch had used some method to bewitch the Lantern Moon Sea Dragon.

She asked in a muttered voice:

"Food? What do they eat?"

Chen Qi shrugged and said:
"Some fish food is made with exceptional ingredients, freshly made, plus some that we buy."

Huh? Doesn't the Moonlit Seadragon only eat what it hunts? The little crow, the master of sea creature research, was extremely surprised and carefully examined the Moonlit Seadragon.

Compared to the legendary noble and pure Lantern Moon Sea Dragon, he seems somewhat bloated, even a bit fat.

She thought back for a moment and realized that the eyes of the Lantern Moon Sea Dragon just now didn't seem to want to eat her, but rather had a hungry look that seemed to crave food.

"These guys can eat way too!"

Chen Qi clapped his hands.

Fortunately, they are now in a cooperative relationship with the Ice Demon Pirates.

Chen Qi and Fen just traded the extraordinary materials that Water Sprite No. 1 salvaged on the battlefield with the Ice Demon Pirates for a large amount of food.

If it weren't for the Ice Demon Pirates, Chen Qi wouldn't have been able to find enough food to feed more than ten sea dragons in such a short time.

Each of these sea dragons has an astonishing appetite.

Dragons are really hard to raise... Chen Qi crossed his arms.

Even though he was involved in big events every day, he had almost no savings.

The resources required for a legendary character to grow is hundreds or thousands of times that of a third-tier character.

Even with the help of Fen and Dengyue Hailong, which saved a lot of money on medicinal materials and medicine, the resources he needed for growth were still far from enough.

If you want to practice Rift Slash, it would be best to consume some items that increase your ice element... Chen Qi thought to himself.

At this moment, Fen patted the little crow on the shoulder, handed it a round cake, and asked:

"Eat?"

The witch's food... The little crow took the cake and said:

"eat."

"Don't eat it! Don't trust Fen's cooking skills! All she thinks about is sweetness and high nutrition..." Chen Qi was about to speak to stop the little crow.

But, it's too late.

The little crow ate the biscuit, and instantly, a strange sensation of milk, grass, and saccharin mixed together coursed through her taste buds!

This feeling is like eating weeds on the ground!

It tastes awful, no, it tastes absolutely awful, but I can't disobey the witch... The little crow looked at Fen wearing the witch's hat, swallowed the biscuit, and forced a bitter smile.

Fen glanced at Chen Qi, then said confidently:
"My cooking skills are pretty good, aren't they?" the little crow racked its brains and praised.
"Hmm, it has a natural, pure deliciousness."

Fen Chaochen blinked and showed off her new invention – the Grass Witch Cake!

"That person really doesn't know what's good for them. This cake can even nourish your skin. Here, take it. I have a lot more grass cakes."

Fen smiled and handed another Grass Witch Cake to the little crow.

Just as rumored, the witch loves to torment people... The little crow took the grass cake and put it back into its beak.

The ship docked, and the mechanic, Brie, began repairing it.

It's time to get down to business... Chen Qi leaned against the wall and asked:

"Little crow, what do you want to say from the shore?"

Chen Qi was certain that the Black Death Doctor was on the shore and must have conveyed some crucial information to the little crow.

Fen twirled the grass cake in her hand, awaiting the little crow's answer.

The little crow looked at the witch, then at Chen Qi.

What should we do? Should we choose to betray the Black Whale Crew?

Wait, I wasn't originally part of the Black Whale Gang... Little Crow suddenly realized.

She had long since grown tired of the Black Whale Gang's numerous evil deeds!

Moreover, if she doesn't confess, the witch will force her to eat more grass cakes, and may even tie her up in a secret room for interrogation.

Since that's the case, why not choose to pledge allegiance to the Black Hunter!
The little crow took a deep breath, straightened its back, and said:
"The Black Death Doctor wants me to go undercover, to follow you, and to extract information about the Witch's Coffin from you..."

"Ok?"

A surprised little flower sprouted on Fen's head.

Pirates are even recruiting you as an undercover agent… Chen Qi suppressed the urge to complain and continued to ask:
What specific intelligence did you obtain?

The little crow answered truthfully:
"Location, as long as we know your location, we can prevent you from entering the Witch's Coffin and resurrecting the Ice Witch. No, to be precise, we should track you and get you into the Witch's Coffin..."

The Witch's Coffin... Chen Yong touched his forehead.

Now, including Palu's relics, they have collected five witch relics, qualifying them to enter the Witch's Coffin.

The little crow continued to provide some information:
"According to the information I have, the witch will be strengthened inside the Witch's Coffin, and it has already merged with an A-rank rift..."

A-level rift... Chen Qi frowned.

The Witch's Coffin is one of the earliest A-rank rifts in the Witch's Sea. Deep within it lies the coffin of the Ice Witch.

Under the influence of the tides, countless phantoms linger here, and even legends are extremely likely to perish here.

Even legendary figures face a mortality rate as high as 50% in A-rank rifts.

Chen Qi asked curiously:
"Location? How did they find out your location through you..."

In that instant, six blood-red long blades flashed in the little crow's eyes.

"My blood—no, to be precise, the blood of all the Black Whale Gang's high-ranking members—is in the hands of the Blood Hunters..."

"Unless a complete blood transfusion is performed, no one can escape the shadow of the Blood Hunter. If he wants to, he can track me down..."

Blood Hunter… Chen Qi’s pupils suddenly contracted.

Within the Black Whale Gang, both the Blood Hunter and the Styx Ferryman are undeniably monsters.

With just a drop of blood, he can track down anyone.

In the past, it was through the Blood Hunters' hunting that many high-ranking officers of the Navy were threatened, causing many families in Moonstone City who wanted to get their hands on the Witch Sea's business to cower like ants, which created a behemoth like the Black Whale Gang.

The little crow continued:
"However, because of my research, Dr. Black Death started the full-body blood transfusion experiment ahead of schedule, attempting to give the Blood Hunters the power of the Great Whale's blood. The research takes time and cannot be interrupted..."

"Hmm... Blood Hunters will be unable to move for at least two months."

Research... Chen Qi closed his eyes and fell into thought.

He vaguely remembered that the Blood Hunter's strength would be elevated once again after completing the experiment with the blood of the Great Whale!

As a fringe hunter, once the Blood Hunter completes the experiment with the blood of the Great Whale, his strength will break through the legendary level and reach the realm of the Saint.

"In addition, I also take some medicines that are specially made by the Black Death Doctor. These medicines will enhance my imagery, but they are highly poisonous and cannot be resisted by a third-tier superhuman."

The antidote must be taken regularly, and this antidote is only in the hands of the Black Death Doctor…

This is the method the Black Death doctors used to control weaker superhumans.

The little crow was talking when it suddenly stopped.

She suddenly realized that her decision to betray them might have been somewhat hasty.
From the moment she stepped onto Black Whale Island and was regarded as a talent by the Blood Hunters, she had no way out and would live in the shadow of the Blood Hunters for the rest of her life!

Even the pirate general who had long been preparing to flee, and the arrogant Dragon King, could not escape the control of the Black Whale Gang.

And what can a mere doctor like her accomplish?

The crow's pupils contracted rapidly.

Only now did she understand why the Black Death Doctor trusted her so much and groomed her as his successor.

From the very beginning, she had no way out!

Just like the Navy trusted her to be an undercover agent because her beloved grandmother and her family were under the control of the Belgian Meteorological Bureau.

At the research institute, she was hailed as a genius researcher, but she was always just a pawn.

The little crow's breathing suddenly became rapid, and the sense of despair that had been building up for so long suddenly erupted at this moment.

"Do not……"

However, under the witch's gaze, she gritted her teeth, trying hard not to let her emotions overwhelm her.

"what happened?"

Seeing the little crow's strange expression, Finn raised her hand, like a mother stroking her injured child, and comforted it:
"Doctor, don't be too scared, they won't catch you that easily."

"Witch..." The little crow hurriedly shook its head.
"No, no, they are monsters, especially the Whale Father. He is not human at all, but more like those strange evil gods described in legends..."

Why do you think...?

Chen Qi spun the dice in his hand and calmly said:

"Because, don't be afraid, we will wipe out the Black Whale Gang, and the Blood Hunters and the Styx Ferrymen will become stepping stones for our ascension to Sainthood..."

"..."

The little crow looked at Chen Qi's face and remained silent for a long time.

Is this meant to comfort me? The witch and the hunter seem like nice people... The little crow felt a sense of security for the first time in a long time, a sense of security that she didn't have to worry about being inexplicably killed while she was sleeping.

Immediately afterwards, the little crow picked up its medical kit, looked again at the fleshy tentacles on Chen Qi's back, pursed its lips, and said:

"Can we begin the surgery now?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Qi's eyes:
"Now? No other facilities are needed?"

Such flesh-and-blood modifications involving the spine often require multiple large medical devices.

Chen Qi originally planned to rent some.

"Normally, this is how it is, in the absence of any belongings..."

The little crow took a deep breath and said in a very soft voice:

"In my backpack card, there is a set of blood-mechanical implants specifically for flesh modification, a set of implants that only a legendary body can withstand."

"Hmm... This is what I've been saving up, intending to sell it after I retire from this life, to build a house, pay for university, and for my retirement..."
