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

Chapter 45 Deep Sea Spirits

After the old hunter left, everyone sighed and lamented.

Red Wolf is no weak monster; capturing it alive by force would be an extremely difficult task.

Add to that the old hunter who could attack them at any moment, and the mysterious overseer, the Flower Witch.

How can you play with this crack?! It's unplayable!
The nature of the crack before our eyes has instantly transformed from a hunting game into a survival game.

Some of them have already found a place to hide and have been trying to survive for three days.

Chen Qi was about to leave when he suddenly sensed a dangerous gaze.

It's the gaze of the Black Rabbit Gang—

At Scarface Rabbit's signal, the members of the Black Rabbit Gang drew their guns, ready to engage in combat.

For Chen Qi, the biggest surprise of this rift was that he became the regulator.

This is not a good thing.

The Black Rabbit Gang's ultimate goal in entering the rift is to find the hidden treasure within.

To obtain the final treasure in the Rift, in addition to defeating the Old Hunter, you also need the Hunter's map.

Clearly, they dared not take the map from the mysterious Flower Witch; that would be suicide.

Therefore, Chenqi undoubtedly became their primary target.

"Are we being targeted by a group of rabbits...?"

Chen Qi thought to himself.

This was the first time he had been stared at with such dangerous eyes by so many people.

Chen Qi took the black knife out of his backpack card.

The Black Rabbit gang members are a group that values ​​agility and enjoys using submachine guns.

The terrain is quite open and lacks cover, so firearms can play a huge advantage.

His strongest weapon is the black sword, which gives him a greater advantage in close combat.

Even if you activate your skills to temporarily boost your strength and defense when facing a gun assault by dozens of people, unexpected events may still occur.

This place is not suitable for fighting.

Chen Qi shook his head and strode forward. He would have a greater advantage in the dark forest.

A gang member asked in a low voice:
"Boss, it looks like he's leaving... Should we go...?"

Scarface Rabbit gripped the gun and said in a deep voice:
"Now is not the time... Moreover, we need to wait for the right moment, wait to enter the forest, wait for him to be alone."

The knife-handled rabbit waited quietly.

If we start a fight now, we're very likely to be surrounded by the Flower Witch and the Morning Star, the two hunters, and get a terrifying mixed doubles attack!

However, in the next instant, these gang members were suddenly startled.

Chen Qi headed towards the forest.

But the direction they were heading was actually the direction of the Flower Witch.

That's a witch!

That's a legendary high-level superhuman!
Isn't he afraid of being turned into fertilizer by the Flower Witch?
Curious yellow question mark flowers appeared above the Flower Witch's head. Could it be that the other party had something to say to her?
The flowers on her head swayed back and forth, her face full of anticipation.

"..."

He didn't mean to say anything; he was just going that way anyway.

Chen Qi silently walked past the Flower Witch and headed towards the dark forest.

"Ugh?"

The Flower Witch was stunned. Her entrance was so elegant; she had expected the other party to say something.

As he left, the gang members and the Flower Witch silently departed, entering the dark forest to begin their hunt for their own purposes.

……

……

Moonlight filtered through the leaves.

Chen Qi carefully parted the weeds on the ground and followed the forest path to a cave.

"Based on inspiration and the markings on the map, this should be the place."

Chen Qi thought to himself.

It took him quite a while to find this cave.

Unlike others, his primary goal is the treasure of the deep-sea hunters.

As expected, there was a huge deep-sea monster inside the cave.

I wonder what kind of treasure could be found in a treasure that's only a fingertip high in difficulty.

"Phew, based on my inspiration, it should be a deep-sea monster, no need to worry..."

Chen Qi took out a lantern from his backpack and carefully walked into the cave.

Tick ​​tock!Tick ​​tock!
Water droplets dripped down the stone wall.

The cave wasn't large; he reached the end after walking only a few steps.

There are no skeletons or rift lines in this place.

There was only one calm pool of water.

Something's not right... Chen Qi carefully crouched down and looked closely at the pool of water.

On the surface of the pool, you can see some bubbles and some things that look like 'blue eyes'.

He recognized the monster before him.

The Water Beast is a mimicry monster whose body is mainly composed of water, and when still, it resembles a pool of water.

When it is active, it is a giant slime water ball. Once a creature approaches its territory, it will extend its tentacles from the water and swallow it into its body.

To defeat this monster, you need to destroy its core hidden in the water; otherwise, the water monster will keep generating new tentacles.

This is quite a powerful monster; at this size, it could swallow fifty bears whole.

The hidden boss in the rift, the old hunter, is probably no match for this monster either.

Gulu! Gulu!
Seemingly sensing the arrival of dawn, the water beast's appearance suddenly changed, and a large amount of water continuously gathered in the air, eventually transforming into a giant water sphere.

Its water sphere was ten meters tall, almost filling the entire cave!
Two huge blue eyes emerged from the surface of the water sphere.

The blue eyes darted around, staring at Chen Qi.

Hmm...like a giant slime.

"Hello……"

Chen Qi smiled slightly at him.

In terms of sheer terror, the monster before us cannot compare to the Blood-Eyed Wall encountered in the Sea Beast Cave, nor to the Near-Sea Overlord.

Moreover, in terms of appearance, this monster is much cuter than the Blood-Eyed Wall and the Near-Sea Overlord.

It welcomed the arrival of Chenqi.

The water creature sensed Chen Qi's presence and happily jumped around.

At that moment, Chen Qi's eyes suddenly lit up!
Inside the water sphere of the Water Beast, a small treasure chest floated.

Deep-sea hunter, place the treasure chest inside its body!
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to obtain this treasure chest without engaging in a fierce battle with the water monsters.

But if he wants to get the treasure chest, he only needs to briefly enter the other person's body.

"It should be fine, I was just touching it..."

Chen Qi swallowed a mouthful of water.

For aquatic creatures, water is their skin.

When he enters its body, it's like touching its skin.

Chen Qi reached into the other person's body with some apprehension.

no problem.

After confirming there was no danger, Chen Qi held his breath, entered the water sphere with his upper body, stretched out his hand, grabbed the small treasure chest, and then suddenly came out!
On the contrary, the moment he took out the treasure chest, the water beast let out a comfortable "ah" sound.

It moved up and down, and the whole water sphere, as well as its blue eyes, turned a little pink. It wanted Chenqi to touch it again and come in again.

"You're out safely..."

Chen Qi looked at the strange aquatic beast's reaction and took a step back.

The friendliness of such a large creature is quite frightening.

Chen Qi sat with the lantern and glanced at the treasure chest, which was only the size of a palm.

A treasure chest that's difficult to find with your fingers can't hold any good treasures.

Without hesitation, Chen Qi opened the small treasure chest.

Contrary to his expectations, the treasure chest contained neither weapons, nor clothes, nor disposable items.

Instead, they were seven tiny water balloons, each the size of a fingernail!
"???"

I was startled when I woke up in the morning.

what is this?
The thing in front of him reminded him of his childhood toy, the 'water sprite,' a thing that grows bigger when it gets wet.

A notification popped up in front of him.

Deep Sea Sprite:

Nature and Appearance: Heart
Description: The sleeping beasts of the deep sea, when left at sea for a period of time, will awaken their true forms!
Note: It contains powerful deep-sea forces!

This is a pet!

Chen Qi never expected that the treasure left behind by the deep-sea hunter would actually be a special pet!
The heart represents elements such as emotions and bonds, and is also closely related to beast taming.

The Golden Flower and Bird Kingdom is home to a large number of rare and exotic beasts, and there are many players who specialize in beast taming.

However, in the Kingdom of Bei, not many players use pet beasts as their main combat force. They prefer to wear heavy steam-powered mechs and use Gatling guns that spew blue flames to mow down enemies.

As a player whose main account is "Pet Trainer", Chen Qi could tell at a glance.

These seven little pets are of a high rank!
Under normal circumstances, to obtain these pets, one would need to possess at least Tier 3 strength.

nice one!
For a rift of 'finger' difficulty, to obtain a rare pet so easily is already a pretty good reward.

Chen Qi clapped his hands and put the card into his backpack.

Just then, faint growls of wild beasts could be heard outside the cave.

"That sound...it's a wolf—"

The hungry red wolf can smell the aroma of human flesh.

Now that we've got the treasure, it's time to deal with the rift quest!

Chen Qi looked out of the cave.

This cave is located near the center of the forest.

There will be no shortage of people and wild animals passing by.

The water creatures won't attack him, but that doesn't mean they won't attack other creatures.

Suddenly, an idea burst forth!

If he teams up with the Water Beast and they engage in mixed doubles here, wouldn't they be invincible except for the Flower Witch?
Even if the entire pack of red wolves charged in, along with the Black Rabbit Gang, and the Rift BOSS Old Hunter!
With everyone joining the fray, and given his and the Water Beast's strength, they might not be unable to fight!
Chen Qi's lips curled slightly as he picked up the black knife and walked towards the red wolf outside the cave.

This place might be a pretty good "fishing spot".
