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

Chapter 358 Sacrifice Yourselves, Humans!

Black sails billowed high in the cold fog.

Carol put on the red gloves, pulled the Black Death Doctor to her chest, and patted his head:
“My dear old darling, tell me, what method should I use to get revenge on the scoundrels who sent me into this world?”

He emphasized the words "cheating couple" in particular.

Carol still remembers the burning sensation of the Flower Witch's crimson flowers growing on her skin.

Because of that failure, she was unfortunately captured by the Azure Beast.

On the high seas, the title of "Queen of Gunfire," which she had accumulated over ten years, was completely swept away.

That is the power of the Flower Witch, a power that is almost impossible to defend against if one is not on guard.

The Black Death Doctor remained expressionless and muttered:

“Carol, you’re a woman in your thirties.”

"And you must never kill the Black Hunter. He is an important vessel for us, obeying the Azure Beast. You will not have a good end..."

Boom!
Before the Black Death Doctor could finish speaking, he suddenly knelt down under immense pressure!
"Watch your words, old man!"

Carroll looked down and placed his iron boots on the Black Death Doctor's head.

Its force was so great that it directly shattered the steel ground, and the Black Death Doctor's head was crushed by a third!

What shocked Dr. Black Death even more was the immense spiritual power covering Carol's body, which resembled a furnace!
Scalding hot, hard as steel!
The spiritual energy has been sublimated and has already reached the realm!

Carroll took out a cigarette and said calmly:
"In the days when you couldn't see me, I hunted countless monsters."

"Whether to kill the Black Hunter, whether to enter the Witch's Coffin and contain the Ice Witch's corpse, is up to us, not you."

“In this matter, you are merely bystanders.”

The Black Death Doctor was trampled on the ground, his teeth grinding to pieces.

As one of the founders of the Black Whale Gang, he was actually trampled on the ground and humiliated by a mere pirate general.

However, he had no choice. The Black Whale Gang's battle lines were too long, and they had to rely on the power of the Azure Beast Saint-level to stop the Black Hunters!
Carroll exhaled a smoke ring:
"Black Death Doctor, the power wielded by the Azure Beast is the power you've been pursuing for half your life, the power to fight against death."

"..."

The Black Death Doctor closed his eyes and gave no answer.

Carroll smiled:

"It's a pity, Dr. Black Death. When you were young, you were a dessert, but now you're just a rotten egg."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked through the cold mist, her gaze reaching the Dawn on the Ghost Ship.

Carroll exhaled a long smoke ring:

"Under the trials of the Azure Beast, I have crossed the gate of sublimation and comprehended the path of the domain."

Carol's red eyes met Chen Qi's cold eyes.

Then, she raised her eyebrows slightly, revealing a joyful expression, and amplified her voice with her spiritual power:
"Black Hunter, Witch, it's been a long time!"

"..."

Chen Qi frowned.

He stared at me, afraid of me? Like me? Carol smiled:
“Black Hunter, if I capture you and the witch, I will lock the witch in a cell and tie her hands and feet.”

"Then, I'll savor this little cake of yours right in front of her~"

After saying that, the Gunfire Queen twirled the musket in her hand.

The Gunfire Queen enjoys tasting young men... Chen Qi couldn't help but feel a chill.

Although Carol is quite attractive, even considered hot, legend has it that all the men she kidnaps become crippled.

However, compared to Carol's provocation, Chen Qi was more surprised by her current spiritual energy field.

Spiritual power sublimation, plus mastery of a domain.

The tides keep creating monsters, another troublesome enemy... Chen Qi turned around and looked at the weak Fen.

Finn's injuries are too severe; if he were to fight now, he would most likely die.

"..."

Chen Qi drew his gun from his waist, ready to retaliate at any moment.

At that moment, a horrifying scene unfolded!
In the vast ocean, one after another, giant pillars with bright red eyes emerged from the tentacles.

Five giant tentacle pillars, like rising city walls, gently yet resolutely enveloped the black sailboat, just as a giant hand in the deep sea suddenly grasped an insignificant seashell!

"This is……"

Carol's pupils contracted.

This is not the tentacles of the Black Hunter, but an attack from the Tentacle Merchant, the lord of this dead city!

At the head of the ship, the tentacle merchant gently slid the oar and spoke in the manner of a 'master':
"If you have nothing to buy, get out of our city!"

Carol's pupils contracted instantly.

The terrifying aura emanating from the tentacle merchant instantly overshadowed the black sailboat!

This is a humanoid monster of the deep sea titan level, an existence that even the Azure Beast must be wary of!

However, what puzzled Carroll even more was...

That is, they had just bought the Merchant's Coffin's cargo, a black sailing ship worth two thousand ancient coins!

Currently, due to the arrival of the crack tide, the production of ancient coins is increasing, and the value of an ancient coin fluctuates around 500,000 shell coins.

Two thousand ancient coins, that's a staggering one billion!

Even a legendary merchant would probably not be able to come up with such a huge sum of money in a short time.

This black-sailed ship can completely conceal itself at night and has its own 'Black Mist' skill. In addition, its interior is inlaid with the rune path of the ancient kingdom, which can easily withstand attacks from legendary-level enemies!

The Merchant's Coffin is an extremely dangerous place, but also a place of wondrous encounters with shells. By following the laws of shells, the wealthy are the gods of the Merchant's Coffin!
In this place, money is far more effective than power!

"Look at us, aren't we the gods?" Carol glanced at Morning Start's dilapidated little ship and looked at the tentacle merchant with a puzzled expression.

Under normal circumstances, tentacled merchants rarely launch attacks.

She didn't understand when she had offended the tentacle merchant.

It must be because we don't have enough money!
Carroll spread his hands and smiled easily:
“Tentacle Merchant, I’d like another ship and a thousand ancient coins.”

The tentacle merchant, expressionless, coldly clenched his fist.

"The guests behind me have already booked the best boats."

The best ship, that ship from the Dark Sea during the Age of Darkness! Carol's pupils contracted as she looked at Chen Qi in disbelief.

Even if two legendary merchants went bankrupt, they couldn't afford such a ship!

Then, Carol looked at the tentacle merchant's bright red snake eyes.

These three people have been driven to the brink of despair because they agreed to the tentacle merchant's request... Carol's lips curled into a smile.

Unexpectedly, the Black Hunter, whom they regarded as a formidable enemy and were prepared to fight to the death at the Witch's Coffin, would make such a serious mistake.

Without money, it's impossible to survive in the merchant's coffin.

quack!

With a gentle squeeze of his hand, the tentacle merchant caused cracks to appear on the incredibly sturdy black sailboat!
Carol smiled, as if looking at three slaves:
"Black Hunter, Flower Witch, Witch's Coffin, I will taste the pastries in front of you."

"If we could meet again."

After saying that, she raised the sail and tactfully left the place.

"One less little trouble..." Chen Qi thought to himself.

Soon after, his Ghost Ship, following the Tentacle Merchant, arrived at the center of the port.

In the center of the harbor stands a huge statue of a god.

The statue is draped in a long, wave-like robe, beneath which is a sharply defined male face and hundreds of blurry, indescribable tentacles.

Standing 150 meters tall, it is carved from deep obsidian and shimmers with a dark and mysterious light, as if it can devour all the light around it, resembling a boundless deep sea.

Chen Qi picked up the lantern and observed the statue with great interest.

This is the Coffin of the Sea, a renowned ancient being, revered as the God of Storms. It is said to have been the mortal enemy of the Goddess of the Sea, and is also known as the original God of the Sea.

However, the sea god was unwilling to become a vassal of the sea and attempted to devour the lantern-wielding god of death in order to master a higher level of power. He began to absorb the power of the deep sea and started a war.

The sea goddess severely injured the sea god by falling into a deep sleep.

Legend has it that after being defeated by the sea goddess, it did not die, but slumbered in the depths of the Witch's Sea. Its breath, even in its slumber, still affects the entire ocean; all the tsunamis, storms, lightning, and sea monsters of the Witch's Sea originate from it. Within the Witch's Sea, there are also many fissures containing statues of the Storm God.

In addition, according to the doctrine of the Sea God Pirates, the Goddess of the Sea and the God of Storms are not enemies, but simply the male and female aspects of the ancient sea god, who are the supreme guardians of the sea.

The Sea God Pirates believe that as long as the two can be unified, a new god can be born to prevent the destruction of the Witch Sea!

Looking at the scene before him, Chen Qi couldn't help but think of the Sea God of the Sea God Pirate Crew.

Legend has it that the god of storms also governs fair trade at sea, and those who violate fair trade will encounter endless storms on the high seas.

On the right hand of the statue, there is a huge scale.

The little crow raised its head and looked at the statue in front of it in fear.

Many of the believers who joined the Sea God Pirate Crew were fanatical followers of the god before them!
But she never expected that the terrifying being located in the A-rank rift would also worship the sea god.

The tentacle merchant walked up to the statue and prayed devoutly for a moment.

Then, she turned around and smiled:
"Guest, let me introduce you to our shop's most magnificent vessel!"

Then, she happily rubbed her tentacles together.

Boom! Boom!
With a deep and long rumble, a giant ship named "Ship of the Underworld" slowly rose from the dark sea, burning with ghostly flames, as if it were a ghost warship that had traveled from another world!
Its hull is covered with unknown black spirals and floral runes, a material that gleams with a cold blue hue in the chilly wind!
The tentacle merchant spread his arms and shouted:

"Let me introduce the Ship of the Underworld. It was one of the Noah's Arks that sailed during the Age of No Light. It sailed on the A-rank rift, the Underworld Sea, for two hundred and ten years!"

Ultimately, his owner died in a snowstorm, and we took over the boat!

As long as you stay inside the ship, you can resist all mental attacks from outside!

At night, its ghostly fire can also drive away all evil shadow demons!

"Guest, let me demonstrate the strength of this ship to you!"

After saying that, the tentacle merchant raised his hand.

A giant hand from the deep sea emerges!

Its tentacles reached a height of 100 meters, and its grip was as strong as that of a giant python, which fiercely coiled around the ship in the underworld!
This time, the power of the deep-sea giant hand is even stronger than the Abyss Hand that Chen Qi used before!
This is already an attack at the legendary Liberation level!
However, faced with the boundless power of the Hand of the Abyss, the Ship of the Underworld ignited an invisible shield, easily withstanding the attack.

On its hull, the mysterious runes shone even brighter under the attack of the tentacles, devouring the energy of the attack and converting it into its own power.

The entire ship was completely undamaged!
This… The little crow’s eyes were full of surprise.

This was the first time she had ever seen a ship capable of resisting the legendary liberation.

Even the giant shark warship could not withstand this earth-shattering blow!
"Not bad..." Chen Qi nodded in satisfaction.

He was deeply impressed by this ship from the Nether Sea. On the forum, players had pooled their money to buy this giant ship and eventually became the strongest pirate guild in the Witch Sea, the 'Water Ghost Guild'.

Thanks to this guild, it became a natural disaster for the Witch Sea.

However, the Ship of the Underworld later automatically navigated, leading these thousand players into the Underworld, causing the downfall of a guild.

Like the deep-sea merchants, the tentacle merchants sell many things, but the side effects are extremely strong.

For example, aphrodisiacs can turn you into a tentacle monster who only knows how to reproduce.

For example, flesh-and-blood suits can make you lose control of yourself.

Once the ship of the Underworld is set sail, it will become uncontrollable and head towards the Underworld!

Simply put, this is a cursed ship that guarantees death if you buy it.

However, although the Ship of the Underworld has extremely high side effects, its engine is one of the most powerful engines in the world.

Its powerful strength is sufficient to support the continuous use of the Space Leap Engine, support shield defense of the same level, support high-speed travel comparable to that of a sea dragon, and even travel in the air and deep sea!
This way, the side effects of the Ship of the Underworld can be avoided.

The little crow was stunned by the hundred-meter-long giant ship in front of it. If it really was one of the legendary Noah's Arks, its price might be an astonishing ten thousand ancient coins!

No, it's even 20,000 ancient coins!

You should know that if she, Chen Qi, and the witch were sold together to a high-ranking noble, they would probably only get ten thousand ancient coins!

How terrifying... The little crow could already feel the hungry look in the tentacle merchant's eyes.

Chen Qi said calmly:
"I only want the engine. Can I buy the engine separately?"

"Just buy engines..." The tentacle merchant blinked his big eyes, a boundless joy flashing in them.

Chen Qi's various expressions all told her:
He has no money!

He has no money, absolutely no money, and I can use that as a reason to buy him and be with him forever… The tentacle merchant blushed, and his two little tentacle tips touched lightly:
"I'm sorry, sir, this is a single piece and cannot be separated..."

Chen Qi took a deep breath, approached the tentacle merchant, and whispered:

"Please, I don't have much money."

The tentacle merchant's ears suddenly turned red, and he muttered:

"No, that won't work."

"!!!"

The little crow standing nearby was utterly shocked. The monster from the Coffin of the Sea, the tentacle merchant, had actually agreed to the request.

Wait a minute… The tentacle merchant blinked, quickly realizing the problem.

Overwhelmed with excitement at the prospect of capturing Chen Qi, she, being a siren, was unfortunately bewitched.

Her goal was to make Chen Qi an eternal slave of the Merchant's Coffin, to become an existence just like her!

The tentacle merchant muttered:

"Selling just one engine, only, only 10,000 ancient coins..."

Halfway through his speech, the tentacle merchant suddenly changed his mind:

"No, it's 20,000 ancient coins!"

Twenty thousand ancient coins!
Twenty thousand ancient coins, this guy… The little crow realized that this monster hadn’t lowered the price at all.

Even when sold separately, she didn't lower the price by a single cent.

That despicable merchant… The little crow bit its finger.

At this moment, she could also strongly sense that the true purpose of the tentacle merchants was not money, but their bodies and souls!

Even if everything is emptied, the transaction cannot be completed, and ultimately, under the rule of the shell, it becomes part of the coffin in the sea.

This is the Merchant's Coffin, the silent resting place of countless heroes!
Twenty thousand ancient coins... Chen Qi felt a headache coming on.

Under normal circumstances, the engine of a ship from the Dark Sea should cost around five thousand ancient coins.

The tentacle merchants, however, quadrupled their profits!
However, upon closer inspection, the difference isn't that significant.

After all, he only had one hundred ancient coins in his pocket.

Chen Qi reached out his hand and said:
"I'm sorry, this amount of money is beyond my expectations. I may need to sell something or find another way to pay for it."

Chen Qi remained calm and smiled without changing his expression.

The bad news is, he has no money and can't afford it at all.

Good news, he never intended to buy it with money!

Twenty thousand shell coins... The little crow also took out its Calamity Messenger Card. This card should be worth five hundred ancient coins!
If the Tentacle Merchants don't choose to rip them off, the Calamity Messenger Card should be able to sell for a thousand Ancient Coins.

The little crow then took out the money it had saved for its wedding, buying a house, and medicine for its injuries, and barely managed to scrape together two more ancient coins.

One thousand and two ancient coins.

This is all the little crow has now.

But this is still a far cry from 20,000 ancient coins.

They've taken the bait... Seeing the two anxious people, the tentacle merchant was already extremely excited:

"Of course, sir, we support you in selling all your treasured items in exchange for the bargaining chips."

Her tentacles swayed gently, revealing a witch-like smile:
"Of course, besides acquiring items, there is another special way in our Merchant's Coffin to obtain a huge amount of ancient currency."

A peculiar way... The little crow vaguely sensed an ominous aura.

The next second, the tentacle merchant skillfully produced a contract of servitude.

Then, she bowed and showed the crowd the sea god statue behind her:
"Guest, would you like to offer a sacrifice?"

The moment the words were spoken, the sea god statue's tightly closed eyes slowly opened, gleaming with a deep and ancient light. Beneath its long, flowing robe, one after another, dark, viscous tentacles coiled around Chen Qi and the little raven.

In that instant, the two were like two lambs on an altar.

The tentacle merchant could no longer contain her excitement; her eyes gleamed with a greedy, ravenous, blood-red light.
"Guests! Offerings now are 50% off."
