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

Chapter 387 Base Project: Back to the Coast!
Once someone becomes famous, rumors will only increase... Chen Qi crossed his arms and calmly analyzed the situation.

Among them, the seven children likely refer to the water spirits.

However, the girl with a disability in her lower body... Chen Qi had a flash of inspiration.

He suddenly remembered that at his base near the sea, he also kept a little sea monster with green algae to guard the house.

He hasn't stayed near the coast or maintained his own base for a very long time.

The last time I went to the coast, I also hurriedly bought the props and left in a flash.

However, it's absurd to portray a little sea monster as a girl with a disability in her lower body.

I wonder how the little siren and the will-o'-the-wisp are doing... Chen Qi shook his head.

Ultimately, the news at sea is not from the internet, but rather transmitted through layers of doves and extraordinary beings.

Problems are bound to arise during this process.

Chen Qi frowned and said:
“Peru, everything you’re saying is utter nonsense.”

Perdue pressed on, asking:
"Did the Flower Witch ever torture you with vines?"

Chen Qi immediately replied:

"No."

"Is that so?"

Peilu tapped her chin with the pen cap, then quietly turned her head to look at Fen.

Few journalists have had the opportunity to observe this rising star so closely!
Fen wore a small pink flower on her head, her soft hair falling to her shoulders. She wore a green witch's dress with intricate patterns, and obvious bloodstains could be seen on her delicate skin.

She had just survived a major battle, but her clothes and hair were neatly arranged. If it weren't for the somewhat plain clothes and accessories, she would have looked like a princess of the Kingdom of Beth.

In addition, there is another point: for a flower enthusiast who admires nature, her skin is a bit too white.

It was an unnatural paleness, like the first snowflakes falling in winter, exuding an indescribable fragility and coldness.

Its whiteness is not merely a lightness of skin tone, but more like a sign that vitality has been drastically depleted.

This pallor was directly reflected in Finn's entire body.

Blood Flower Disease… Peru blinked, suddenly thinking of the increasing number of deformities that had appeared among the Golden Flower Bird nobles in recent years.

The adorable Fen, judging solely from her aura, is worlds apart from the legendary Flower Witch who, at the slightest provocation, would throw people into a potion cauldron and plant them in the ground!

By any measure, it should be the Black Hunter beating up the Flower Witch, not the Witch beating up the Black Hunter... Peru conducted a power analysis.

At this moment, Chen Qi changed the subject:
"Interview complete. So, Miss Reporter, where is your headquarters located?"

Perdue replied briefly:

"No. 99, Queen Street, Moonstone City".

Chen Qi looked at the Ice Witch and continued:
"If there are no problems, Ice Witch, we will head to Moonstone City after resting for a night."

This boy is more anxious than I thought… The Ice Witch placed her right hand on her lap and held a teacup in her left hand, saying:
"No problem, you are the captain of this ship."

"Set sail tonight!"

Chen Qi took the small cake from Fen, adjusted the boat's direction, and prepared to leave this area of ​​water directly.

A gentle sea breeze blows from afar.

"It's been so long since I've been back to the coastal area..." Chen Qi thought to himself.

At this moment, the Ice Witch suddenly asked:
"Qi, do you have a home on the shore?"

Home? Chen Qi was startled and fell silent.

He never expected that the Ice Witch would suddenly ask him this question.

Ultimately, for both pirates and naval personnel, the sea was merely a workplace, while the shore was their home.

The rift tides bring opportunities to this area, but also unprecedented dangers.

Bringing treasure home is the dream of countless people.

However, unlike most people, Chen Qi, as a transmigrator, does not have a home he longs for on the shore of this world.

Chen Qi thought for a moment and said:
"No."

"No...?" The Ice Witch paused for a moment.

Then she continued:

"On the high seas, ships need harbors, adventurers need the Hunter's Guild, and you and I also need a reliable home to stay in."

"You need a home?" What was the teacher saying? A question suddenly popped into Fen's head.

Home… Chen Qi paused for a moment.

He immediately understood what the Ice Witch meant.

When the Rift Tide enters its final stage, the entire Witch Sea will descend into a state of madness.

At that time, storms and tsunamis were as common as the sunrise, and there was almost no room for normal survival in the vast ocean.

That was the end of the Witch Sea—the catastrophe of the overturned sea!
The final catastrophe of the Witch Sea came earlier than the catastrophes in other sections.

Chen Qi pricked up his ears and could faintly hear the sound of whales roaring in the wind.

It should be understood that once the power of the great whale has completely permeated this ocean, even the strongest ships will inevitably be swallowed by the sea.

Even the Phantom of the Dark Sea, with its excessive hardness, needs a reliable port of call.

The Ice Witch continued:

"Qi, your ship is good, but we need a larger base, a home on shore."

Large bases, homes, shelters... Chen Qi stroked his chin.

The first thing the Ice Witch did after her resurrection was to build a super shield with the archipelago as a barrier and to call on everyone to build a super-large shelter.

For Chen Qi, a large base capable of withstanding tsunamis is not only essential for survival but also a necessity.

In addition to the sublimation of spiritual power, there are two other essential conditions for advancing to the fifth rank.

First, the origin of a contained rift.

Second, Tier 5 class cards.

Containing the source of the rift requires a reliable large-scale workshop.

Once the rift is contained, it will be transformed into a special energy sphere. This energy sphere cannot be stored in the backpack card until it is completely made into a stable weapon.

It must be stored in a special space and subjected to strict containment.

If we are not careful, its distortion will increase, thus polluting the entire world.

This space needs to be protected from pollution and also has extremely high hardness.

This aligns with the concept of building a 'shelter'.

In a sense, building a shelter is also building a Rift Workshop.

Second, the creation of Tier 5 class cards.

Tier 5 class cards can no longer be easily obtained through rifts; they are made from specific materials and through rituals.

The Ice Witch possesses the method to create Tier 5 class cards.

However, the creation of Tier 5 class cards is also an extremely complex process that requires a lot of space!

Chen Qi thought to himself.

In fact, due to resource needs, every fourth-tier legendary figure is a powerful individual who owns their own territory.

At the fourth tier, he used the Moon Dragon and the Flower Witch's potion to skip the step of building a truly large base.

But now, the final great whale disaster is about to arrive, and in addition to upgrading the Netherworld Ghost, he also has to build a large base.

Chen Qi asked:
"Ice Witch, do you have the blueprints for the shelter?"

The Ice Witch said coldly:
"No one is better at building shelters than the people of the Winter Kingdom, not even the workshops of the Be Kingdom."

The Ice Witch pointed to her head and continued:

"However, we still need to wait for the guidance of the image of destiny, which is my prophecy, to determine the specific strength of the base we need."

The witch, hailed as a prophet… Chen Qi clapped his hands:
"Looking forward to your prophecy, Witch..." After discussing the itinerary with the Ice Witch and Peru, Chen Qi prepared to go and discuss the follow-up itinerary with Palu of the Ice Demon Pirate Crew.

Most members of the Ice Demon Pirate Crew are young people from prominent families or with outstanding achievements who live on land.

Therefore, the Ice Demon Pirates also have a relatively wide network of connections.

After returning to the sea, Paru went to his ship to handle various adventure requests.

The Ice Demon Pirates' revenue model is essentially similar to an association; they earn money by taking on missions through their extensive network of contacts.

I wonder if Palu has any information about containing rifts or crafting Tier 5 job cards. I need to prepare in advance.

Besides, the black whale poison in the little crow's body also needs to be studied... Chen Qi planned his next trip and walked towards the captain's cabin.

At that moment, Fen suddenly grabbed his collar.

"??"

Chen Qi turned around and saw that Fen's pale face had flushed.

"what happened?"

Chen Qi asked.

Fen lowered her head and opened her small mouth:

"Qi, it's nothing. Um, although you don't have a home here, you don't, you don't..."

Fen had been listening in the background and knew that Chenqi, like her, had been walking this lonely path.

She turned her head slightly:

"After this adventure, you can come to my home in the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom. There are many flowers there, as well as delicious vegetables, powerful superhumans, and adorable pets. If you like, that can be your home too..."

Fen spoke slowly and deliberately, her face flushing as she spoke.

Fen... Chen Qi stood frozen in place, her face slightly flushed.

Only then did he realize that during his long journey, he was no longer the lonely superhuman who only wanted to become stronger.

If there were no major disaster, he would like to go with Fen to the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom, which is full of flowers and pets.

If his current strength were in the past, even in the Canary Clan full of monsters, he would be considered a rare genius.

But in this age of calamity, it is far from enough, far from enough!
In this age of calamity, only the extraordinary at the crest of the wave can escape being swept away by it.

Desiring peace is an impossible thing.

We are still far from being the most outstanding extraordinary beings, and we are still a long way from standing at the peak amidst the waves!
As the Ice Witch said, most of them will die in this sea.

Meanwhile, in other kingdoms, an even more terrifying catastrophe is brewing beneath the surface.

The great disaster in the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom was far beyond imagination.

Besides, perhaps it was his imagination, but his intuition told him directly that this time, due to various variables, the impending catastrophe of the Witch Sea might exceed his imagination.

Now is not the time to talk about going home.

As a time traveler, I shouldn't set such a flag... Chen Qi looked at Fen, hesitated for a moment, and then patted Fen's head:
"Once this huge wave is over, Finn, we'll go and beat up those crazy old bastards from your Canary family!"

"A crazy old man?" Fen looked puzzled, unable to understand Chen Qi's words.

Qi, like her teacher, loved to tell riddles.

However, despite some understanding, Fen still smiled happily when she heard that Chen Qi was willing to agree:

"It's a deal. Also, don't touch my head without permission; it's not elegant."

It's a deal... Chen Qi nodded.

After a short rest, he started the boat and headed towards the nearshore waters.

Due to fear of the Ice Witch, the Black Hunter, and the Ice Demon Pirates, all forces on the high seas chose to cease their pursuit after the Netherworld Ghost was launched.

And so, the Ghost of the Underworld maintained its maximum power and sailed toward the near sea, toward the prosperous city.

……

……

The next day, near the coast, in the shallow waters in front of Maro Town Island in the Moonstone Islands.

Seal Logistics, White Dove Logistics, Bonfire Merchant Ship, Magic Bullet Escort Fleet...

Merchant ships laden with cargo sailed densely along the shipping lanes.

These are all large merchant ships, and each of them is equipped with at least one Tier 3 Transcendent with five years of experience, as well as four new-generation Tier 3 Transcendent hunters.

Meanwhile, there are also dedicated escort fleets on both sides.

Without exception, all the ships sailing in this sea area today are merchant ships of top-tier companies!
Besides one ship, a special vessel that burns with green flames and whose flag is that of a chef's hat water sprite.

This ship moved as if it were in an empty field, ignoring all other vessels, and sailed right in the middle of the course!

On the merchant ship, the captains of many vessels were discussing the matter animatedly.

"Which company's ship is that?!"

"Who dares to overtake my boat!"

"Captain Seal of the ship opposite, shut up! Can't you tell this is someone's warship?!"

"This is clearly a ghost ship, a strange ship that emerged from the crack! Where is the escort fleet from Maro Island? We need reinforcements! We need reinforcements!"

The captains of many merchant ships were discussing it animatedly.

Despite the unprecedented chaos that has erupted between pirates, the navy, and hunters from other nations on the Sea of ​​Rifts.

However, the flames of war have not yet spread to the coastal areas.

Thanks to the defensive measures established by Moonstone City in the archipelago, all the pirates who have invaded this area so far have suffered a terrible lesson.

The Moonstone Islands have not suffered any major losses.

At that moment, the hot-tempered Captain Seal lit a cigarette and shouted in a booming voice at the Ghost of the Underworld:
"Come out, you ships over there! Don't you know that you have to go through a qualification review to navigate the main channel of this route?"
Moreover, this road has been mine for the past few months!

Captain Seal cursed and prepared to call out his newly hired, invincible third-tier superhuman sea serpent squad to teach this crappy ship a lesson!
Chen Qi walked out of the captain's cabin and casually glanced at the captain of the ship opposite him:
"It's so noisy..."

The faint aura of spiritual energy enveloped Captain Seal.

"Holy crap! Legendary!!!"

"My lord, my lord... I'm so sorry!!!"

Instantly, Captain Seal's expression changed. He apologized frantically to his crew while ordering them to make way.

"what--"

Chen Qi yawned, not paying much attention to the noise, and instead looked at the sea ahead.

What a prosperous place!

In the past, a few dilapidated fishing boats would occasionally sway on the waves off Maro town, like lonely leaves in the sea.

Now, the sea is no longer dotted with sparse fishing boats returning at dusk, but with merchant ships coming and going in an endless stream.

Whether it's the Sea of ​​Rifts, the Sea of ​​Mist, or other rifts, most extraordinary resources end up being acquired by merchants, entering Moonstone City, and then flowing into the vast extraordinary resource market.

The vast resources are making Moonstone City more prosperous than ever before.

More and more Tier 3, and even legendary superhumans, are surging forth in this ocean!

This is why people from other countries are constantly coming to Moonstone City from the mainland.

As an important transit point, Maro Island also receives a huge amount of tidal resources.

Under Moonstone City's arrangement, the unimaginable resources of the Rift Tide have transformed this once desolate island into an incredibly powerful Moonstone Shield.

"start……"

Suddenly, Chen Qi heard a familiar, surprised, and aged voice.

Chen Qi raised his head.

In the gentle breeze, he saw the lighthouse again, with a kind old man on it, his face full of surprise and shock.

And beyond the lighthouse, there was the incredibly thick, thousand-meter-long extraordinary city wall, and behind that city wall, a thousand giant cannons aimed at the Ghost of the Underworld.
