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

Chapter 452 Water Sprite Number One, go and bring the Pirate General back to me.
Chen Qi turned his head and looked at the bloodstains on the dragon lantern.

Currently, the entire giant dragon lantern is placed on the lighthouse at the dock.

Any injured sea creature can absorb the power of the dragon lantern to recover itself.

However, although the dragon lantern is large, it does not have strong defensive capabilities.

The light that hit me… Chen Qi looked into the darkness in the distance.

From the dense darkness in the distance, rustling sounds could be heard, like the desperate screams of a person on the verge of death!
Caw! Caw! Caw! Caw!
Soon, the dense darkness began to writhe, opening tens of thousands of blood-red pupils, like a falling black curtain, rushing over in unison.

"This is a shadow crow operated by a human."

An said softly.

Within the Black Whale Clan, there are many Shadow Mages who are proficient in this technique.

However, the sheer size of the shadow crows before them already exceeded the level of ordinary superhumans.

The extraordinary being behind it is at least a powerful fourth-tier extraordinary being, and possesses the power to enhance this spell!
"I'll try to trace the spiritual power of this technique."

An reached out her hand, closed her eyes, and entered a spiritual vision.

Every technique leaves a trace of spiritual energy when it is formed.

Such a large flock of crows must be manipulated by someone located near the sea!
However, in the next instant, the right eye of the lead crow in the flock twisted again.

The crow perched on the dragon lantern and spoke again:
Give up!

We possess rift weapons capable of erasing traces of spiritual energy, Black Hunter. Even if you are now a Saint, you still cannot find us.

"The Black Death Doctor..."

Chen Qi looked up and recognized the familiar hoarse voice.

As the lead researcher of the Black Blood Poison, Chen Qi had long wanted to capture the other party and train him properly.

Unexpectedly, he actually dared to send out crows to appear in front of them today.

"Activate, cannot be detected."

An withdrew from the spiritual vision and said coldly.

Unlike ordinary summoning spells, these crows are like kites with broken strings, making it impossible to detect the location of their mastermind.

Interesting… Chen Qi stroked his chin and asked:

"Black Death Doctor, it's been a long time. You're still alive."

"Ahem... Black Hunter, on the Misty Sea, our legion has cleared the A-rank rift dozens of times, achieving unimaginable results."

The power of the great whale has been digested by us and transformed into countless weapons.

The real disaster is about to strike, and you will all be crushed!

Everyone will understand the power of God!

Chen Qi looked up and said defiantly:

"Are you sure the giant whale won't crush you first?"

The Great Whale, the god of the edge, is not a friendly, orderly being; it is utterly chaotic.

Anyone who uses its power will ultimately pay the price!

The Black Death Doctor's raven raised its head and said coldly:

"Alright, hunters, I'm just here to inform you today."

"At the same time, we will make a deal with you."

A trade? Chen Qi ignored it, summoned the near-sea overlord, and used the Dragon Cannon.

A dazzling dragon cannon flashed across the sky, and the dense flock of crows instantly turned into black dust.

Caw! Caw! Caw! Caw!
Completely unreasonable! The crow had no choice but to get straight to the point:
"Hunter, we want to find you to switch patients!"

"patient?"

The morning signal indicated that the near-shore hegemon should cease its actions.

"We want to exchange for a prisoner, a former third-tier drug test subject, a dying patient, Little Raven!"

"The Black Death Doctor's crow cried out."

Because of his declining health, he urgently needed a successor.

Without the little crow, given his physical condition, he might not have been able to complete the whale father's final research plan.

These days, their people are waiting for an opportunity to try and bring the little crow back.

However, the Flower Witch Fen stayed by his side all along!

Dr. Black Death believed that, in the eyes of Chen Qi and the others, Little Raven was nothing more than a traitor to the Black Whale Gang and a dying patient.

If they could offer enough compensation, perhaps they could get the little crow back!

The crow hooted again, saying:

"And in return, hunters, our Black Whale Gang promises that we will not attack your walls or spread the plague for a week."

It spoke in a threatening tone, as if it were a god, condescendingly:
"Otherwise, Miss Witch, tomorrow you will witness the birth of a plague!"

"Although it cannot compare to the wondrous power of the Black Blood Poison, it is still a plague poison from the periphery, enough to make hundreds of thousands of you kneel on the ground, wailing and begging for my mercy!"

With the fall of the Sea of ​​Rifts, many islands in the nearshore waters became uninhabitable, and the population density in the nearshore waters increased several times over.

This is the perfect stage for the fourth-tier profession, the Plague Doctor!
Destruction is far easier than construction.

All it takes is for crows to carry the plague and fly into the area in a suicidal manner to create a hell!
With their concealed rift weapons, the people on these bases could only watch the disaster unfold, powerless to do anything but rage in utter helplessness.

"This……"

An anger flashed in An's eyes, and she clenched her fists.

This is a dilemma.

If the plague spreads, it will bring unprecedented losses.

However, agreeing to this deal would mean handing over the little crow.

Ann and the little crow rarely interacted, but she could sense that this seemingly insignificant figure might be one of the antidotes to the great whale disaster.

"I reject."

Chen Qi continued to have the near-shore overlord unleash the Dragon Cannon to annihilate the crows.

The scorching hot Dragon Cannon suddenly erupted in the air!
Rumble!
The scalding heat instantly annihilated the entire flock of crows.

And in that final moment, the raven's blood-red eyes turned:
"You...you...will pay the price!!!"

Finally, it was quiet... Chen Qi cleared his ears.

However, compared to Chen Qi, An and Fen were much more nervous.

"Don't worry, the plague cannot spread!"

Chen Qi said:

"With Finn's abilities, he is capable of resolving large-scale epidemics."

"Of course!"

Fen crossed her arms over her chest.

She is now a top-tier pharmacist who has developed a Great Sage-level potion.

An rubbed her forehead and frowned, saying:

"But Miss Witch, no, Master, no, Finn doesn't have enough time!"

As the witch's assistant, An knew all too well how much effort Fen had spent these past few days.

Taking night owl medication and stimulant potions daily in exchange for more, more time!

Fen was like a madwoman, relentlessly squeezing out her time.

Aside from the time she spends eating with Chen Qi and a short nap, it can be said that Fen devotes all 24 hours of her time to making the potion!

Fen averages only four hours of sleep per day.

Fen has been completely drained.

His working hours far exceed those of the "King of Slacking Off" and the "Saint of Books."

If we were to dedicate more time to research on epidemics...

Even Fen would collapse from exhaustion! An couldn't help but purse her lips:
"Fen, she needs to get plenty of rest."

"I don't need to rest now!"

Fingo Channel.

In times of such disaster, personal health becomes insignificant!

Once the disaster is over, Qi and I will return to the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom, where we'll have plenty of time to rest!
There's plenty of time to be happy! Finn comforted herself.

Chen Qi looked at Fen.

Her long hair hung down to her waist like withered vines, the ends curled up, and a few stray strands clung to her forehead, which was damp with fine sweat.

The witch's outfit and her slender little hands were covered in stains from medicinal herbs.

Even the two bloodstains on her neck had withered due to overwork.

In this state, Fen can no longer do any more work...

An pondered:

"Qi, should we tell the Ice Witch to send a messenger of natural disaster to track down the mastermind behind the crows?" "However, the sea is too dangerous now, even if we find someone..."

An frowned deeply.

The entire coastal waters are now teeming with terrifying monsters and unexplained fissures.

Blindly searching without a clear objective will likely only increase the number of casualties.

"There is no need to send messengers of natural disasters."

Chen Qi said with a smile:

"Don't worry, they can't do anything."

The sea is his domain.

As long as they are near the coast, even if they can conceal their spiritual energy, they will not escape his sight.

Chen Qi had Water Sprite No. 4 wipe the dragon lantern, and then whistled.

Gulu gulu!

A terrifying monster emerged from the deep sea.

"Wakuwaku (Master! I'm here!)"

Suddenly, a round, plump water sprite emerged, riding on the back of a small red crab!

This massive spiritual energy field! An's pupils contracted:
"This is!"

The spiritual energy field of Water Sprite No. 1 is not right.

Chen Qi smiled slightly.

The Deep Sea Sprite No. 1 has undergone another evolution in recent days.

The dragon lantern contains the purest power of the deep sea.

Water Sprite No. 1, as a deep-sea water sprite, can directly absorb this power.

By absorbing the power of the dragon lantern, Water Sprite No. 1 is now radiating a fourth-order spiritual energy field!

Add to that the already formidable army of little crabs!
As long as no fifth-tier transcendent beings intervene, it is a domineering force on the high seas.

Morning Water Sprite No. 1 casts a bait:
"Number One, go and bring the Black Death Doctor back to me!"

"Ugh?"

An and Fen both exclaimed in surprise and looked at the round and chubby Number One.

Water Sprite, the top researcher who went to capture the Black Whale Gang, and Black Death Doctor, one of the pirate generals!
Can it really work?

……

……

Nearshore, B-rank flower phase crack, storm shark.

A massive storm was spinning continuously, from which terrifying, blood-red sharks kept flying out.

Above the iron-gray shark tornado were the ruins of countless ships.

To date, all ten adventure teams that came to conquer the Storm Shark Rift have failed, ultimately causing the rift's distortion to exceed 100%, causing it to collapse on the ocean and form a terrifying spiral shark storm.

And inside the storm—

A man dressed in tattered black clothes dug his rotting hands into an oak railing.
"Damn it! Black Hunter, tomorrow I will make them understand why I am called the plague, the representative of natural disaster!"

On the swaying black skull banner, a man covered in bandages twirled the blade in his hand:
"Black Death Doctor, you seem to lack sufficient respect for fifth-tier powerhouses. Can't you be a little more polite when you speak to Black Hunter?"

"I should have told you before that no matter what, you should not provoke a fifth-tier expert. They are powerful beings that we cannot afford to offend!"
Even if you almost killed him.

"Drowner! Don't you have enough confidence in our Black Whale God?"

The Black Death Doctor turned around and glared angrily at the other person.

He was the last of the Seven Pirate Generals, Drowned Pyke, also known as the Water Ghost.

"This is all for your own good. If you are captured by the Saint, don't blame me for not warning you."

The drowned corpse scoffed casually.

Unlike other arrogant and domineering pirate generals, Drowned Corpse had only one life motto.

That is--

苟！
He was unwilling to offend any powerful figures or participate in any risky missions.

He firmly believed that as long as he survived this disaster, he would have a bright future!
The Black Death Doctor continued his taunts:

"Ha! Don't forget, your unique rift, 'Ghostly Demon,' can completely erase any trace of you."

"Not to mention, our Black Death has a special detector for fifth-tier powerhouses! As long as the Black Hunter appears within 10,000 meters of us, we can detect him immediately."

He extended his hand, his eyes brimming with confidence:
“Drowning Corpse, do not fear the Black Hunter. Sooner or later, under the blessing of the Black Whale God, we too will become great fifth-tier beings and jointly rule this sea.”

Finally, let's create our own extraordinary family!

"Fifth rank..."

The drowned corpse swallowed a mouthful of water.

It was the threat of the Blood Hunters and his fifth-tier power that drove him to join their operation.

Currently, the entire Black Whale group is frantically manufacturing weapons.

Under the orders of the Blood Hunters, they were to continuously use Plague Ravens to thwart the Ice Witch's sanctuary plan.

To prevent them from being discovered, the Black Whale Legion and the Black Blood Empire provided them with the most powerful concealment artifacts.

Neither their ships nor their plague crows emitted any spiritual power.

Plus, the storm provided cover...

It can be said that they truly achieved the perfect level of 'survival'.

"All right."

The Black Death doctor asked:

"Drowner, how's it going? Have you found any crazed sea monsters that can attack the shelter?"

The damage caused by plague crows alone is limited.

Therefore, they wanted to lure the rabid monsters of the Rift Sea into attacking the sanctuary.

These monsters corrupted by the rifts are beyond the reach of even the Black Hunter's Deep Sea Affinity!

The drowned corpse recalled for a moment:
"I've found it, Dr. Black Death. Have you heard of the Beast of Ember, the beast that the Deep Sea Hunters failed to hunt?"

It only appears during great catastrophes, bringing absolute annihilation upon humanity!

"Beast of Ember!" A smile crept onto the Black Death Doctor's lips.

This is the name of a deep-sea calamity, a monster that even deep-sea hunters have failed to hunt in legends!

Unexpectedly, the aura of the great whale awakened such a terrifying natural disaster.

Moreover, unlike ordinary sea beasts, the Ember Beast was born in the most ancient abyss, and even the Black Hunter with the talent of inspiration probably could not shake its will.

"where!?"

The Black Death Doctor was incredibly excited.

If they can lure the Ember Beast with the blood of the Black Whale and lead it to Moonstone City, they will be able to cause unprecedented destruction!
The drowned corpse stroked its chin and said with a smile:

"I do not know."

"Didn't you find it?"

The Black Death Doctor questioned.

The corner of the drowned corpse's mouth, hidden beneath bandages, curled slightly upwards:

"Please, Dr. Black Death, do you have any common sense?"
That was a legendary monster that even deep-sea hunters couldn't hunt. I could tell at a glance that it was extremely dangerous.

So I just ran away, leaving no way to track me.

"..."

The Black Death Doctor remained silent, clenching his fists.

What a bastard! He actually missed such a valuable opportunity!
That's a legendary ferocious beast that only appears during great calamities.

He wanted to punch the drowned corpse, but his current physical condition was no match for it.

He'd just grab any stray dog ​​and stomp on it... The Black Death Doctor looked at the people on the deck, preparing to find someone and punch them to vent his anger!
However, soon, a small red crab holding a spiked spear appeared in his field of vision.

Ok?
The Black Death Doctor was startled.

When did a red seafood appear on their boat?

Was it thrown down by the storm?
"Fine, I'll kick it first..." Dr. Black Death charged forward, ready to crush the inconspicuous crab.
"Drowning Corpse! If you carry out a mission with this attitude again, your fate will be the same as this crab's!!"

He raised his leg high and stomped down hard.

clang--

The next instant, the drowned corpse's eyes widened in shock.

"How can it be……"

The Black Death Doctor lowered his head and looked at his right leg, and the huge bloody hole on it.
