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

Chapter 350 The Little Crow's Conspiracy and the Big Barbecue
Completely drained, I desperately need rest, treatment, and food... Chenqi's stomach rumbled.

It's time for dinner.

But why didn't Fen come to call me to cook today? Chen Qi discovered the blind spot.

The water sprite was in charge of the Ghost Ship's hygiene, and Finn was in charge of the potions.

He was in charge of feeding the entire Ghost Ship, from the water sprite's juice to the feed for the Moon Dragon and the near-shore overlord, as well as the food for Fin, Bri, and others.

Therefore, every day was filled with the snoring of the near-shore overlord and Fen's shouts, telling him to cook.

Chen Qi turned his head and stared blankly at the deck outside the window.

Outside the window, the vast sea stretched out before me at night. The red moonlight, veiled by clouds, took on a peculiar pale red hue, like a thin orange-red veil draped across the night sky.

In the quiet night, the wind became exceptionally gentle and delicate, softly brushing across the sea and creating tiny ripples.

A rare peaceful night... Chen Qi thought to himself.

With the rift tides intensifying and the war between the navy and pirates, the entire sea has not been calm for a long time.

He has been constantly on the go, as well as practicing his skills.

Hungry... Chen Qi stood up, dragging his tired body, and walked out of the room onto the deck.

On the deck, a temporary long dining table and a large barbecue grill were already set up.

"Wakuwaku!"

Water Sprites No. 1 and No. 2 carried charcoal to fuel the campfire and barbecue pit.

A cold wind blew by.

It's so cold... Chen Qi instinctively hugged himself tighter.

Hearing Chen Qi's footsteps, Fen smiled faintly and took out a bundle of freshly skewered large meat skewers:
"Are you hungry?"

Chen Qi asked:

"Fen, why are you cooking today?"

You look tired, can't you tell...? Fen looked up slightly:

"I want to cook!"

After saying that, Fen took out a bottle of freshly prepared green liquid and shook it.

"what is this?"

Chen Qi looked at the liquid bubbling with green bubbles and felt a slight sense of nausea.

Finn said smugly:

"The barbecue sauce, made with ten kinds of green herbs, paired with green flounder from the shallow sea, is very healthy and nutritious. It's good for your health, can boost energy, and refresh you..."

Green bubble fish? Chen Qi walked over and took a sniff. A strange smell, comparable to 'canned herring', instantly assaulted his nostrils!

vomit!
Hungry at dawn, I couldn't help but gag.

In Fen's recipes, there is only health, not deliciousness.

Anything that nourishes is good!

Whether it's Fen's medicine or her food, they want to nourish Chen Qi to the point of death.

This is too nourishing... As someone from a nation of foodies, Chen Qi is far more picky about food than the people of the Witch Sea.

Chen Qi struggled to suppress his nausea and said:

"Fen, I'll take care of the barbecue sauce..."

Is it really that bad? It smells so fresh and natural! Fen held the green can and sniffed it:
"Aren't you tired? You've used up a lot of energy being in the bedroom..."

"I'm not tired, let me do it."

Chen Qi stepped forward, took out olive oil, chili peppers, black pepper, onions, lemon juice and other spices from his special chef's backpack, added some butter, and then stir-fried them in a pot on the makeshift stove.

The butter and spices blend together, slowly releasing an irresistible aroma!

There were spicy, salty, and sweet flavors... Chen Qi clapped his hands.

At Witch Sea, freshly baked barbecue seasoning, paired with fresh ingredients, is enough to make for an enviable barbecue feast.

"Gentlemen, please keep warm, heavy snow is coming."

Sitting in the corner, the little crow, wrapped in a heavy black coat, whispered a reminder.

A snowy day? Chen Qi took a deep breath; tonight was indeed exceptionally cold.

At the same time, his clothes were not particularly thick.

The little crow murmured:

"According to the messenger of natural disasters, heavy snow is approaching. Although the legendary bodies have strong disease resistance, the winter under the rift tides, if the low temperatures persist for a long time, may attract some snow elves. These snow elves will cause you to suffer from cryosleep syndrome..."

"Snow fairies are extraordinary creatures, like bacteria, and are everywhere in the air."

The little crow added a sentence.

Cryostomy... Chen Qi pulled out a loose-fitting wool coat from his backpack and put it on.

Its powerful, legendary body is immune to most diseases of the human era.

Even if he were to be exposed to the cold at a depth of 100 meters underwater, Chen Qi's body would still be able to withstand it.

However, everything comes at a price; a powerful physique also makes one more susceptible to attacks from various supernatural creatures.

The stronger you are, the easier it is for strange creatures to hunt you.

In this regard, the little crow, being a doctor, knew far more than he did.

Listen to the doctor's advice... Chen Qi stood by the stove, letting his body warm up:

"Thanks for the reminder. By the way, dinner is ready."

The little crow swallowed a mouthful of water and said wearily:

"I'm not...very hungry...a lot has happened lately, and I don't have a good appetite."

The little crow stared at Chen Qi, the horrific scene of the Blood Demon Doctor slaughtering the researchers, and the memory of Chen Qi defeating the Blood Demon Doctor in his monstrous form, still echoing in her mind.

The Blood Demon Doctor who filled her with immense fear and made her tremble, the monster who put her in a life-or-death dilemma, and the Butcher who silenced the entire research institute!
That monster was actually kicked to death by her former subordinate, just like a stray dog ​​being kicked to death on the roadside.

This is the legend. Unbeknownst to her, a pitiful, thick barrier had already formed between her and Chen Qi.

The little crow looked at Chen Qi, and her heart yearned even more to be promoted to a higher rank.

She always felt a strong sense of unease on this legendary ghost ship.

If she hadn't known Chen Qi, she would have already started planning her escape.

"is it?"

Chen Qi smiled slightly, not forcing the other party to eat his food, and called out to Palu, Jinli, and Buli of the Ice Demon Pirate Crew.

Five minutes later, the water sprites placed the skewers of grilled meat on the barbecue grill.

The oven sizzled enticingly, and fresh seafood, succulent beef, venison, and various vegetables slowly released their mouthwatering aromas.

Fen occasionally waved her staff, adjusting the fire and gently sprinkling some of the spices prepared by Chen Qi.

The perfect seasoning!

Fen took a deep breath and said:

"Everyone, it's almost done baking, you can start eating now."

Fen spoke to Chenqi, Little Crow, and the three members of the Ice Demon Pirates who were looking forward to it.

Chen Qi picked up a skewer of meat and took a bite.

The succulent meat juices burst on your taste buds.

"Great!" Chen Qi exclaimed with a happy expression.

Jinli of the Ice Demon Pirates also ate a string of sea fish:
"Delicious, delicious, Black Hunter! Our captain doesn't have your skills. Captain, could you learn from him?"

Palu gnawed on a string of vegetables:
"I can't learn it."

Jin Li frowned and said:
"What a useless piece of trash! Captain, if you can't guarantee the crew's food, even a good crew member like me might betray you. To be honest, I'm already thinking of joining the witch's ranks..."

"Qi is the captain..." Fen muttered softly.

Palu looked at Jinli speechlessly:
"Outside, give me some..."

Jin Li retorted without holding back:

"Face? Captain Palu, when we agreed to sail with you to explore the secrets of the Ice Witch, you promised to be our slave..."

I originally went to study in the White Tower Federation…

"..."

Palu wanted to retort, but swallowed his words. Unlike other pirate crews, the elites of the Ice Demon Pirate Crew were all recruited by Palu through hard work and persuasion during his university years; they were the esteemed founding members.

Therefore, most members of the Ice Demon Pirates have powerful backgrounds. For example, Brie is the son of an engineer from the Steam Hand, and Jinli is the daughter of the head of the Coastal Bank.

Palu really doesn't have much prestige... Chen Qi couldn't help but think to himself, then looked at the little crow in the corner.

The little crow seemed out of place among these four legends.

Chen Qi gave the dazed Water Sprite No. 5 a wink.

"???"

Water Sprite No. 5 tilted its head in confusion, then immediately understood its master's meaning.

Water Sprite Number Five jumped up, carrying a half-meter-long meat skewer and a bottle of strong liquor, bouncing along as it walked to the little crow in the corner:
"Wakuwaku (Give it to me!)"

The little crow was stunned for a long time, its face turning red instantly as it looked at Chen Qi.

Thank you… she tremblingly reached out her hand:

"I'm really not hungry, but I might need a little alcohol..."

The little crow hesitated for a moment, then took the strong liquor and took a sip.

A hint of curiosity flashed in Chen Qi's eyes as he asked:

"By the way, little crow, what's your name?"

The little crow's name remains an unsolved mystery on the forum.

After drinking the strong liquor, the little crow, its face flushed, slowly said:
“Ifreni, an ominous name, because my mother had bad luck, but was named after a lucky goddess. They believed that if they gave me an unlucky name, I would become lucky…”

The strong liquor went down his throat! The little crow felt a surge of courage, even an urge to tear open Chen Qi's clothes and study his physique!
Choosing such an ominous name, what kind of jinx is this... Chen Qi couldn't help but complain.

The little crow, who hadn't spoken normally to anyone in a long time, hugged Water Sprite No. 5 tightly and said:
"Then after I was born, my already poor family fell into decline because of gang warfare, and many of my relatives died, including my parents."

My grandmother always told me that before I was born, our family was a wealthy family with a second-order superhuman.

Also, I'm really not young, it's just that my face looks immature..."

The little crow patted its chest.

So that's how it is... Chen Qi took a bite of the kebab; it was the first time he had heard the little crow's backstory.

The little crow drank the wine, ate a bite of the grilled skewer, and asked softly, its face flushed:
"Um... could I have another skewer of grilled meat? As a token of my appreciation, I can help you with your medical treatment..."

"Speak so cautiously..." Chen Qi looked at the little crow who was inexplicably blushing and replied:

"There's no need to be so formal... Going to the doctor? Of course."

The little crow scanned Chen Qi from top to bottom:
"Your physical body is very strong, but your progress is too rapid. The extraordinary spiritual energy within your body has not yet reached a balance. If you don't slow down your growth, you might develop spiritual energy disorder..."

Hmm? Chen Qi closed his eyes and carefully sensed the spiritual energy in his body.

Powerful spiritual energy flowed through his blood, and his strength created his powerful body!

However, as the little crow said, this spiritual energy was chaotic and disordered, like intertwined branches.

The sheer number of skills and the excessive use of potions had caused his spiritual energy to become extremely chaotic.

Chen Qi did not notice this during the ongoing battles.

Now that he has rested, Chen Qi has realized that he has quite a few ailments.

There are so many strange diseases. No wonder Fen Lao fed me nutritional supplements; is this what they mean by "good medicine tastes bitter"...? Chen Qi couldn't help but sigh.
"Indeed, but adjusting spiritual power is a long process, and we can't slow down the growth rate right now."

After all, the Black Whale Gang is watching us, and a massive wave is about to sweep across the entire ocean.

In their current situation, they simply cannot get a proper rest.

Is the world about to end...? The little crow smoothed its black hair, then looked at the even more terrifying witch and muttered to itself:

"Noble witch... my lady, the spiritual power within you is the legendary life energy. I read in an ancient text that life energy can amplify the power of the Blood Flower Disease..."

However, this will also cause more blood to grow on your body, making you suffer more pain. If possible, you should take some time to have someone clean the blood from your body…”

Fen ate a piece of meat skewer and said:

"I know this requires a doctor and a long period of rest..."

The witch is talking to me normally now! The little crow blushed deeply.

The Flower Witch is the idol of countless doctors in the Witch Sea!
Although Finn was merely the successor to the Flower Witch, the little raven was still unusually excited.

She suddenly realized that the witch wasn't so scary after all; she was approachable and had a very pleasant voice.

The little crow patted Water Sprite Number Five's head and muttered softly:

"My esteemed... Witch, after this wave subsides, if you need me, I can treat your illness... Also... thank you for your previous book on medicine..."

Dear... Fen blushed slightly at the compliment:
"If you need medicine, I can give you some!"

Finn tossed ten bottles of combat potions to the little crow.

Seeing this, Palu added with a sigh:
"Even if you become a legend, you can't avoid doctors; on the contrary, you pay a much higher price for doctors..."

The little crow looked at Palu again:
"I've heard of you, great... Captain Palu. Compared to physical illnesses, shapeshifters are more prone to mental illnesses. You probably don't have any desire to become someone else, like a witch or something..."

Palu took a bite of the meat skewer and said firmly:
"No."

The little crow, holding the water sprite, used its medical knowledge to examine everyone.

Among them, the one with the biggest problem is Chen Qi. Because he grew too fast and was also a monster, his body has many hidden dangers.

However, these hidden dangers are not things that can be dealt with now.

He needs a professional private doctor and a long period of recuperation... Chen Qi crossed his arms and sighed helplessly.

Of course, if one can advance to the Saint level, these problems can also be easily solved.

The little crow raised its head and glanced at Chen Qi:
"Once the tide recedes, I can treat you for free, little chef... Qi..."

The little crow murmured to herself; this was the first time she had called the Black Hunter by his name.

To make himself seem less humble, the little crow emphasized the word "little".

Palu changed the subject:

"By the way, everyone, the heavy snow is coming. Our journey to the waters of the Witch's Coffin may take more than two weeks. Before that, we must be fully armed..."

Two weeks. That should be enough time for me to master the Rift Slash... Chen Qi planned in his mind.

Around the warm campfire, everyone enjoyed the long-lost tranquility.

Finn, holding Water Sprite No. 2, said with a mischievous grin:

"Number Two, come and drink this nutritional juice I prepared. It will make you even stronger than Number One..."

"so good……"

The little crow took a bite of the kebab.

Suddenly, she shuddered.

She stared blankly at the night sky, as if she had seen some terrifying monster!
What's wrong? Chen Qi followed the little crow's gaze and looked behind him.

Above the dark waves, a red-eyed raven perched on the surface of the sea, watching their ships.

This raven emitted no spiritual energy field and was almost silent, making it seem like a symbol of misfortune.

If it weren't for the little crow, Chen Qi's inspiration would never have noticed this special crow.

Chen Qi turned around:
"This is?"

Under Chen Qi's cold gaze, the little crow trembled uncontrollably.

The little crow shrank back a few steps and bit its tongue:
"I don't know him, I don't know him, no..."

"uh-huh?"

Chen Qi's gaze was like a scorching sword, piercing through her chest.

"I only know some information, just some... no, I know nothing..."

The little crow retorted a few times, then suddenly froze.

Thinking about it carefully, the Ghost Ship has a witch, a cute water sprite, a reliable morning star, and delicious food.

The Black Whale Gang has nothing but power and money!

There's no need to pledge allegiance to the Black Whale Clan anymore; I wasn't even a member of the Black Whale Clan to begin with...

In the warm glow of the campfire, the little crow looked at Chen Qi, its face flushed, clenched its fists, and took a deep breath:

"It's the Black Death Doctor's messenger raven. Among the items should be... the Black Death drug that could easily kill you... and some forbidden weapons..."

"Easily poison us?" A small black flower of terror appeared on Fen's head.
