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

Chapter 399 The Crack Beneath the Sea

What is this thing? A long wall of green fire was reflected in Chen Qi's pupils.

Beneath the deathly silence of the song, these flames floating on the sea suddenly rose up, light and eerie, and then collided rapidly, transforming into a tsunami-like giant wave!

Scalding sparks landed on Chen Qi's face!
At this moment, the people on the exploration ship finally lost all control of their emotions.

"We shouldn't be coveting the Great Will-o'-the-Wisp! This isn't a treasure we can afford!"

"Damn it! All I want is a burning ghost ship to take home and show my master and mistress, why is that so difficult!"

"Which bastard said that the Death Siren could be brought back!"

"Stop talking! The mad dog with the ghost fire is here!"

Deadly Siren? Will-o'-the-Wisp Mad Dog? Chen Qi was somewhat stunned upon hearing this.

This was a nickname he had never heard before.

However, amidst the wails of the crowd, the piercing song that filled the entire sea did not lessen but instead became even more intense!
Boom!

Almost instantly, the surging green will-o'-the-wisps, urged on by the song, overwhelmed the exploration ship ahead of Chen Qi.

The ship in front of them seemed to have been smashed by a meteorite falling from the sky, instantly collapsing into pieces.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone on the exploration ship was equipped with fireproof suits made by the Campfire Energy Company, their second-tier strength would have been quickly buried in the raging will-o'-the-wisps!

Everyone on the exploration ship jumped off.

What is this? Chen Qi looked up.

As the exploration vessel crumbled, the raging will-o'-the-wisps suddenly coalesced, forming an even larger, twenty-meter-tall giant dog, its burning maw wide open—

The flames roared, the flames devoured, the flames consumed everything!
The next target of this flame is Chen Qi!
"Boy, this fire takes pleasure in hunting ships, jump into the sea now!"

In the sea, a crew member hurriedly shouted loudly.

Chen Qi's neck was burned by the will-o'-the-wisp, leaving some small marks.

It can break through his physical defenses with flames.

Do I need a reminder? Chen Qi casually drew his sword.

brush!
He unleashed his sword energy and strength, cleaving the giant hound of ghostly fire in front of him, revealing its true form hidden within.

Amidst the will-o'-the-wisps, one after another, the will-o'-the-wisps floating in the air blinked their large, round eyes and looked at the people on the boat in front of them in terror!
It's that man!
The man who skinned them is back!

It really is you guys... Chen Qi greeted the ghost fire fish:
"It's been such a long time no see."

Before leaving the nearshore area, he single-handedly gathered all the ghost fire fish and bullet squid along the coast together, creating an unprecedented ghost fire fish colony.

As time passed, influenced by the power of the Coffin of the Sea and the Black Whale, these already extremely ferocious little firefish also grew stronger—

However, this growth is indeed somewhat terrifying.

What did it eat? It can fly now!
Chen Qi looked at the boundless flames before him and unleashed another slash.

Boom!

A surge of power erupted, and instantly, the will-o'-the-wisps that formed the wall of will-o'-the-wisps scattered into the sea.

The will-o'-the-wisp has become stronger, but compared to him and Finn, it is still a weakling.

Chen Qi turned around and looked at the victims of the sea disaster.

They should have had tools for setting up a makeshift lifeboat in their backpacks.

"Go away, don't come here again, and don't try to get anyone else to come here."

Chen Qi snapped his fingers and continued to steer the Ghost of the Underworld into the White Tree Base.

On the high seas, the crowd, still reeling from the shock, looked in terror at the ghost ship of the underworld in the distance.

That strike just now could only be accomplished by a fourth-tier expert!

Who is that person?

The one-eyed captain leading the group took a deep breath.

He thought of that man. According to legend, this area was originally surrounded by ferocious will-o'-the-wisps, which caused countless shipwrecks.

However, one day, suddenly, all the ghost fire fish in the coastal waters disappeared.

According to the speculation of the White Dove Times, a hunter who inherited the will of the deep-sea hunters is hunting ghost fire fish for the sake of peace in the ocean!

Even the dominant species in the near seas were too frightened to come out.

Therefore, this sea area enjoyed a period of peace.

Could this person be the hunter who tamed those will-o'-the-wisps?
"Many thanks."

Seeing the ships in the distance, the group dared not linger and hurriedly left the area.

when!when!when!
The Ghost of the Underworld crashed through the branches of white trees and sailed directly into the center.

"What a piercing sound! I wonder which devil created such a despairing song..."

Fen, in the land of art, covered her ears, and couldn't help but recall some sad memories.

This kind of singing can severely pollute the mind. Without a fourth-order spiritual field or strong mental resistance, one will quickly fall into a special state of despair.

This sounds like a song I improvised... Chen Qi raised his head and looked towards the center of the White Tree Land.

A towering, hundred-meter-tall tree dominated the entire sea area.

Under the influence of the rift tides, the giant tree experienced a second spring, growing even larger.

"Little green algae, sea cloud, I'm back."

Chen Qi raised his head and shouted loudly.

At that moment, a small sea monster with a green algae-like head slowly poked its head out from inside the tree trunk.

She still held the Siren's Harp in her hand, and her viscous tentacles caused her lower body to spin with delight!
He's still alive, there's nothing seriously wrong... Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

He had just seen so much debris and thought the little green algae had met with misfortune.

However, this growth is too fast... Chen Qi looked at the little green algae at this moment.

Under the power of the rift tides, the growth rate of extraordinary marine life far exceeds the imagination of ordinary people.

The tiny green algae that was once barely taller than his waist is now the height of a normal human woman!
In a few months, it might turn into a land of sirens, with queen-level sirens that are three meters tall.

After confirming it was Chenqi, the little green algae blinked, opened its arms, and with an elegant diving motion, leaped down from the white tree ground.

thump!
The little green algae leaped into the sea and played a joyful song on her harp to express her happiness:

"La la la la la~"

As the little green algae played its instrument, the algae tentacles on its head danced wildly.

Water Sprite No. 2 jumped off Fen's head and gave the little green algae a fist bump!
"Long time no see, little green algae..."

Chen Qi patted the little green algae's head.

"Hello... I'm Qi's sister, no, I'm Fen, the first mate of the Ghost!"

Fen took off her floral hat and bowed to the little green algae.

In the Kingdom of Golden Flower Bird, one must maintain elegance even when dealing with pets.

"La la la la la~"

The little green algae sang a cheerful song.

The little green algae still couldn't speak, only expressing its emotions through singing... Chen Qi touched the little green algae's sticky tentacle hair, stood in the White Tree Land and looked around.

Wooden fragments were scattered in the sea.

The wire mesh cages and small huts he once built have long since crumbled under the sweeping tide.

I looked out at the land of white trees at dawn.

The White Tree Lands are still too far from Moonstone City, and too dangerous.

Amidst this trend, if a new large base is to be built, it must be as close to the city as possible.

Chen Qi thought for a moment.

He is now strong enough that as long as his ships and bases don't house Lady Ori, a Marine Admiral, the Navy won't dare to attack him easily.

Even if the location of this ship and base is right in front of Moonstone City and the Navy!
The little green algae has the ability to release group buffs. Although these buffs are insignificant to him now, they should be quite useful in protecting the base.

"I'll leave it to the Ice Witch to arrange then..." Chen Qi decided in his mind.

After calming the little green algae, Chen Qi used his deep-sea perception to slowly probe the spiritual energy field of this sea area. His and Fen's purpose on this trip, besides returning to see the White Tree Land, was to find a sea beast with third-tier strength!
More is better!

one two Three……

Chen Qi was stunned for a moment.

In this sea area, the spiritual energy field of third-tier sea beasts reached an astonishing fifty!
However, these sea creatures all hide on the seabed!

These sea creatures seem to be asleep... Chen Qi was stunned.

Then, Chen Qi threw out the extraordinary bait.

Boom!

Suddenly, one after another, floating fish engulfed in green flames, their eyes gleaming fiercely, burst forth from the seabed.
Immediately afterwards, a white, bullet-shaped sea monster also rushed out.

Almost instantly, this tranquil sea was taken over by a huge sea monster.

Among them, the most eye-catching are the floating green will-o'-the-wisps.

These green, burning spheres are about half a meter in size, round and bulging, with a small, wobbly triangular tail on their backs.

A green will-o'-the-wisp that floats.

Beneath the rift tides, the will-o'-the-wisp has undergone natural evolution.

Chen Qi was slightly startled.

The ghost fire fish in front of me—no, to be precise, it should be called a giant ghost fireball, a giant ghost fire fish.

The twenty giant fire fish in front of him all possessed the strength of a third-tier extraordinary being!
Even considering the ten ghost fire fish that just formed the ghost fire wall, there are thirty third-tier ones!
Besides that... Chen Qi turned his head to the side.

Ten bullet sharks with Tier 3 strength, plus ten fluffy ocean clouds.

The Bullet Squid evolved into the Bullet Shark, reaching a terrifying five meters in length, comparable to a small boat.

The five sea clouds grew to an astonishing three meters in size, transforming into a giant cotton candy and possessing the ability to create white mist.

The white mist that permeates the land of white trees is created by the sea clouds.

A total of fifty sea beasts with the strength of the third tier!

This is enough to fulfill the Canary Caravan's commission and make a hefty profit from them!
And that's how it's done... Chen Qi had originally planned to have a big fishing trip on the high seas.

However, for a small, weak sea creature like the will-o'-the-wisp to evolve on such a large scale...

This is something that ordinary tidal forces could not achieve!
Chen Qi's spiritual senses detected something amiss at the bottom of the sea.

What else helped them evolve?
On the seabed, there are rare and extraordinary materials!

After locking onto the location with his spiritual senses, Chen Qi immediately gave the following command:

"Number One, bring the thing up from the seabed!"

"Wakuwaku (Yes, sir!)"

Water Sprite Number One suddenly lifted a half-meter-high crystal from the seabed.

The crystal is pentagonal in shape and black, resembling a black obsidian, but it has a very low hardness, like a soft little loaf of bread.

Chen Qi gently touched it, and a notification popped up in front of him.

Deep-sea crystallization:
Nature and form: Cup, emptiness
Description: An item from the Honkai A-rank rift 'Endless Abyss'.

Effect: Its hidden power can be absorbed by deep-sea creatures, greatly enhancing their strength and even enabling their evolution!

Note: This item is only effective on pets of tier four or lower.

Drops from an A-level rift! A pleasant surprise at dawn.

He thought there might be good things beneath the sea, but he never expected that what he found was actually debris from a Honkai A-rank rift.

The collapsed A-rank rift... Chen Qi was stunned for a moment.

In other words, other A-rank rifts have already been created on the sea besides the Coffin of the Sea.

An endless abyss...

The location of this crack is most likely underwater.

The crack possesses items that enhance the power of sea monsters... Chen Qi carefully stroked the crystal.

In the forum, when Poseidon of the Poseidon Pirate Crew reappeared from the sea, he was already a completely insane 'false god' who could manipulate three powerful natural disasters: deep-sea titans, storms, and tsunamis!
The exact location where he transformed into a 'god' and the place where he acquired the power to evolve into a 'god' have always been a mystery.

In the Kingdom of Bei, the Bei Meteorological Bureau and adventurers searched the entire sea, but could not find any trace of the Sea God.

According to the images of destiny, the sea god is hidden at the bottom of the sea.

However, under the high pressure of the deep seabed, it is difficult for humans to find places to operate.

Even the strongest sea god cannot live in a place of only darkness forever.

Unless, there is a crack in that location, a crack in the seabed... Chen Qi had a bold conjecture in his mind.

Chen Qi accepted the crystal, then stood up and looked at the many sea beasts in front of him.

Unlike ordinary ferocious sea beasts, the sea beasts here are all evolved from relatively gentle ghost fire fish and sea clouds.

Make more fish bait, have Fen make some medicine, and pet them more often; that should make them more docile.

Oh, and we also need to remove the oil from the will-o'-the-wisp fish.

Then, we can return home!
This mission was surprisingly easy... Chen Qi got up and touched the will-o'-the-wisp fish:

"Fen, we're quite lucky. Let's get started."

"give it to me!"

Fen rolled up her sleeves and mustered her strength.

After completing the mission, she will receive the King's Thorn Body and the Queen's Pleasure Vines skill cards!

In this way, she has the ability to fight, protect herself, and also protect Teacher Qi!

Under the sunlight, Fen and Chenqi began their work.

……

……

Nighttime, the Canary Merchant Ship.

"Huh huh huh~"

Isa sat in her bedroom, humming a song as she intently flipped through the book in her hands.

One Hundred Ways to Train Your Water Sprite!

"I see, water spirits like damp humans, and they also hate the smell of perfume..."

"Deep Sea Sprite is a water sprite, and it also likes to eat jelly."

"Never use the water sprite as a cushion! Otherwise, your butt will be mercilessly attacked!"

"I see, no wonder you stayed away from me."

"What an interesting pet, unlike those pets that like mass-produced perfumes."

Isabella stroked her chin, glanced at her wardrobe, and a wicked smile crept onto her lips.

Let's prepare a little.

Next time, the water sprite will be attracted by her floral aura, appearance, and scent, and will obediently stick close to her.

Isa stood up.

However, before that, she still had to urge the family's natural disaster messenger to speed up the search for the A-rank rift!

Everything for the family.

Just then, Nancy rushed in:

"Sister Isa, the brother and sister, and Water Sprite Number One are back!"

"?"

Isa turned her head in confusion and looked at the clock on the wall.

Half a day hasn't even passed yet.

That's a list of twenty third-tier gentle sea beasts.

Could it be that she got so engrossed in her book that she missed an extra day?
