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

Chapter 453 The Great Escape Failure

Tick ​​tock.

The putrid blood spilled onto the deck and was blown out to sea by the storm.

"Haaah!"

The tiny red crab pulled out the blood-dripping spear.

"My leg!" The Black Death Doctor's face contorted with rage, his body trembling with fury.
"Damn deep-sea monster..."

Unexpectedly, they encountered such a powerful deep-sea monster amidst the storm.

"Tonight, I want steamed crab!"

The Black Death doctor waved, signaling the crew of the Black Death on board to launch an attack.

"Understood, Captain."

"Boring! I'm so bored! I'd rather kill someone than eat crabs!"

"Little red crab, this knife of mine is poisonous, slurp~"

On the ship, a full seventy-five pirates, wearing black iron helmets and black coats, walked toward the little red crab, weapons in hand.

The crew of the Black Death were all experimental subjects modified by the Black Death Doctor. They were often tall, with distorted faces and skin covered with honeycomb-like fleshy growths, so they needed to be completely covered by black clothes and helmets.

As a price for sacrificing their appearance, their strength far surpasses that of ordinary third-tier superhumans. Among them, many possess fourth-tier power, enough to fight against steam mechs with their bare hands!

Seventy-five pirates surrounded the little red crab.

The Black Death doctor pulled out a hemostatic agent and applied it to his blood-soaked right leg!
However, in the next instant, he heard cries of agony coming from the pirates.

Be careful!

"Everyone, stand back!"

"What does this crab eat to grow so strong?!"

My knees!

The enormous spiked spears shot into the sky, and the shockwave they generated carved a street across the deck, leaving behind a mess and dust everywhere.

The pirates took it seriously; the tiny red crab before them was no less formidable than the third mate of their Black Death.

And in the very center of the crowd, there was a small red crab with a resolute gaze and a heavy, nail-like spear.

It's like a god of war!
However, an even more terrifying disaster was about to occur.

Suddenly, amidst the storm, more and more tiny red crab soldiers had boarded their ships.

The pirates quickly glanced at it.

The current offensive is not right!
They encountered a powerful sea monster army comparable to a deep-sea titan!

The Black Death Doctor's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice:
"Don't be afraid, our Black Death has the ability to teleport!"
Moreover, guarding your backs are two pirate generals!!

"Don't back down! Keep fighting!!"

The surging black energy exploded on the Black Death Doctor's body, making him look like a monster that had devoured the sea.

However, before everyone could turn around, a soft, disdainful voice came from the mast above their heads.

Everyone looked up, finding it hard to believe what they were seeing.

As the storm raged, a soft, bouncy water sprite looked down upon them.

"Wakuwaku (That's them!)"

Water Sprite Number One, amidst the storm, took out the parchment scroll bearing the portrait of the Black Death Doctor and examined it.

Everyone's faces were soaked by the rain.

Although, in the encyclopedia, the Water Sprite is just an ordinary rare sea creature and doesn't have much strength.

However, there are two extremely terrifying facts:

First, the aura of the Water Sprite No. 1 in front of us is even greater than that of the Black Death Doctor!

Second, that was the Black Hunter's pet!
"Black Hunter..."

The Black Death Doctor was immediately startled and questioned:
"Go quickly and detect the spiritual energy signal of a fifth-tier transcendent!"

"Also, immediately request support from the Blackblood Empire! Tell them we've been attacked by the Black Hunters!!!"

Once the Black Hunters arrive at their ship, their entire Black Death will turn to dust!

Fortunately, soon, a reassuring voice came:
"Captain, within 20,000 meters, there is no spiritual energy aura of any fifth-tier transcendent being..."

Thank goodness... Dr. Black Death breathed a sigh of relief.

There are a total of thirty red crabs here, plus one water sprite.

And they had two pirate generals.

Their discovery was likely the result of a thorough search by the Black Hunters.

In other words, it will be some time before the Black Hunters arrive.

As long as we take this opportunity to retreat immediately, nothing will happen.

The Black Death Doctor roared:
"Initiate the leap!"

"Waku waku (Don't even think about running away!)"

Water Sprite Number One bounced itself into the air with a flick of its rear, then used a Water Blast to dash down straight for Black Death Doctor—

"You worthless beast!"

The Black Death Doctor grinned and blocked the attack with both arms.

The two forces collided, creating a huge shockwave that scattered black energy in all directions.

If Water Sprite No. 1 weren't a type of elemental spirit, it would be almost immune to all viruses.

Otherwise, it would have already rotted the moment it touched its body.

However, in the face of the Black Death Doctor's attack, Water Sprite Number One simply said:

"Wakuwaku (Humans, your strength is too weak.)"

Weak... Although the Black Death Doctor couldn't understand the Water Elf language, he already understood its meaning.

This little guy is mocking him!

What a joke, being mocked by a water sprite!

Without hesitation, the Black Death doctor pulled out a syringe and inserted it into his own body.
"The Death Eater of the Black Death!!!"

In a short moment, the Black Death Doctor's body underwent a sudden change.

His spine cracked and shattered, transforming into outstretched, jet-black wings. His eyes turned crimson, and his rotten teeth protruded from his mouth, transforming into a sharp bird beak!

His whole being resembled a crow that had broken through a pile of corpses, greedily devouring their flesh and blood.

In a very short moment, his strength and physique increased fivefold!
In addition, all his attacks will be imbued with a terrifying plague.

"Come on! Black Hunter's pets!"

The Black Death doctor opened his arms.

The biggest difference between a fourth-tier transcendent being and a fourth-tier ordinary monster is liberation!
Once Tier 4 is unlocked, no Tier 4 monster can withstand their power.

However, despite his terrifying demeanor, Water Sprite No. 1 remained expressionless.

"Wakuwaku (Human! It seems I'll have to use my true strength too!)"

Water Sprite Number One turned around and looked at a small, timid red crab that dared not fight.

"Wakuwaku (You! For your master's sake, defeat the monster before you!)"

The little red crab froze:

"Haaah (Me?)"

"Wakuwaku (You've been enhanced by your master! Go!)"

The shy little red crab, at a loss, grabbed its spear and rushed towards the liberated Black Death doctor, raising the spear high:

"Hawoo hawoo (Praise the master!! Praise the sun!!! Liberation!!!)"

Hmm, did you find it? In the distance, Chen Qi, sensing the water spirit's intent, took a sip and casually snapped his fingers.

Consumes 100 points of strength to activate Hound Transformation.

Boom!

A deep blue beam of light suddenly appeared on the body of the small red crab!
Under the beam of light, the little red crab's spiritual power transformed into a terrifying red storm dragon!

"Holy crap, you can liberate too!" Black Death Doctor exclaimed in surprise.

With the support of this force, it is even capable of resisting his liberation.

clang!
A deafening sound of metal shattering exploded!

The Dragon Crab Spear! The little red crab swung its spear, accompanied by a whooshing dragon shadow—

A huge, bloody hole had appeared in the Black Death Doctor's chest.

If he weren't a cup-shaped extraordinary being, this move would have been enough to kill him.

Damn it! The Black Death Doctor was being constantly forced back by the tiny red crab that had transformed into a deep-sea hound.

The other pirates, too, were utterly powerless against the red crab. They were too weak.

Compared to the Black Hunters' pet army, these extraordinary beings were far too weak.

Fortunately, he wasn't the only pirate general on this ship.

There's also the Seventh Pirate General, the Shadowless Assassin, the Water Ghost of the Sea, and the Drowned Pike!

While fending off the barrage of attacks from the little red creature, the Black Death Doctor roared:
"Drowning corpse, activate liberation now! The little crab in front of us, activate liberation too!"

However, he did not hear the sound of the drowned corpse.

Suddenly, a note drifted onto his face in the wind:
"Black Death Doctor, I'm off first. That's Black Hunter's beloved pet. Be careful."

They took the concept of survival to the extreme.

He was just a lowly fourth-tier beast, and had no intention of fighting against fifth-tier beasts.

"What the hell!"

The Black Death Doctor immediately felt his blood rush to his head.

With a major battle imminent, the second mate, Drowned Corpse, actually deserted in the face of the enemy!
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Water Sprite Number One took a deep breath and then used a headbutt to smash into Doctor Black Death—

Boom!

Amidst the deafening roar of the water bombs, the Black Death Doctor gritted his teeth, unwilling to admit it—

But at this moment, they were no match for Chen Qi's pet beasts.

However, Water Sprite No. 1 and the enhanced Little Red Crab did not give him a chance.

"We have to run, we have to run—"

The Black Death Doctor's consciousness gradually faded, he closed his eyes, and completely fainted.

"Haaah! (Praise your master!!)"

The enhanced little red crabs raised their spears high, declaring their victory.

As the captain fainted, the other pirates obediently knelt down, submitting to the power of the little red crab.

Following Chen Qi's orders, Water Sprite No. 1 bound everyone here hand and foot, then called Water Sprite No. 3, who had already taken control of the captain's cabin, to steer the ship toward Moonstone City.

The Black Death sets sail!

On its sails, the Water Sprite No. 1 gazed at the churning, dark sea in the distance.

Just now, a very powerful superhuman escaped.

However, it was not on the portrait provided by its owner.

"Wakuwaku (After you get home, your master will treat you to fish bait!)"

The simple-minded Water Sprite No. 1 paid no attention to the drowned corpse's whereabouts, raised its nail spear, and headed towards Dragon Lantern Ranch.

……

……

"Huh, huh..."

On the dark, nearshore waters, the drowned corpse moved swiftly beneath the seabed like a swordfish.

Having been lurking for an hour, he couldn't help but peek out.

"Hahahaha!"

"free!!!"

The drowned corpse involuntarily opened its arms and shouted into the storm.

It's unclear whether he made the right choice.

After all, with the Black Death Doctor's power, as long as the Liberation is activated, he might be able to defeat those monsters!

However, he knew that he had made a choice from the bottom of his heart!

There aren't that many things to regret in this world.

The choice you make is the one that comes from your heart!

If it weren't for the Black Blood Poison, he wouldn't want to keep following Whale Father.

"If only the Black Hunters could develop an antidote..."

"It's really hard to survive in this ocean."

The drowned corpse leaned back, lying leisurely on the sea, gazing at the distant mist.

Eeya————

However, before he could even rejoice, a huge flame suddenly ignited in the pitch-black mist, accompanied by a strange roar.

"when!"

The drowned corpse's eyes widened immediately.

Within the flames shrouded in mist, there seemed to be a pale blue eye, and beneath that eye, the mist twisted and writhed, reflecting a blank figure—

"The Beast of Lingering Flame..."

The drowned corpse opened its mouth wide, trying to escape, but its body was unable to move!
Its immense spiritual energy field suppressed his body!
But just now, he hadn't even noticed the Ember Beast!
"Witch, witch..."

"Witch, just submit to me! My tentacles will treat you well!"

"Save me, save me! I'm innocent, Black Hunter, Black Hunter..."

Human language!

The drowned corpse's body trembled uncontrollably. In its long life, this was the first time it had ever seen a deep-sea monster that could speak human language!

Moreover, he didn't understand why the monster in front of him would mention witches and hunters, or say such strange things.

But at this moment, he no longer had time to think.

Disaster has struck.

"Black Death Doctor, my father, Whale Father! Save me! Save me!!!"

A desperate, hoarse voice came from within the mist.

Soon, the churning, dark sea flashed and then became calm.

In this silent sea, it's as if no one, not even a fish, has ever existed.

……

……

On the Dragon Lantern Wharf.

Chen Qi prepared a sumptuous dinner and served it on the table.

At Chen Qi's suggestion, they ate a late-night snack while waiting for the water spirit to return to the team.

Steaming hot honey dragon roast meat, golden bird juice, flower soup, and extra spicy flamingo leg specially prepared for An.

An swallowed a mouthful of water:

"Qi! Indeed, your food is the best! I wish I could eat it all the time!"

An took a bite of the extra-spicy flamingo leg and looked thoroughly enjoying it.

Since eating Chenqi's special extra-spicy firebird last time, An, who rarely eats spicy food, has grown to love it more and more.

"You can keep eating? What are you talking about? Do you want to stay here forever?! And besides, your eating manners are anything but elegant!" Finn turned her head to look at her assistant and said:
"Behave gracefully, An."

Huh? An was taken aback.

Today, she did eat quite heartily.

"I'm sorry, Fen, Qi's cooking is just too delicious!"

Chen Qi clapped his hands in praise:

"An, once this disaster is over, I'll cook for you whenever I have time, just tell me."

Keep doing it! Fen bit her lip:
"I also want."

"Good good."

Chen Qi readily agreed, and then looked towards the dock.

Under the control of Water Sprite No. 3, a dark and oppressive ship sailed toward the dock.

Snapped!
Then, Water Sprite No. 1 suddenly threw an unconscious pirate general onto the dock.

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

"Number One..."

Fen's eyes widened.

Water Sprite Number One returned even faster than she had imagined.

Amid the crashing sound, the unconscious Black Death Doctor slowly opened his weary eyes.
