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

Chapter 454 Forbidden Rift
"Damn it, of all times..."

The Black Death Doctor spat out salty seawater, unable to look Chen Qi in the eye.

Chen Qi ruined many of the Black Whale Gang's plans.

The Black Death Doctor harbored immense hostility towards him, and every night he wished he could crush and kill the Black Hunter.

But when he actually saw Chen Qi, his anger vanished instantly, leaving only boundless fear.

With just one glance, he knew that the person before him was someone he could never defeat, no matter what.

Just before their legion's general offensive began, he was captured by Chen Qi!

Chen Qi took a sip of red tea, glanced at the disheveled Black Death Doctor on the ground, and said calmly:

"Black Death Doctor, tell me what you know."

The Black Death Doctor gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:

"I know what you want to know, but before I answer, Black Hunter, you have to guarantee my...safety..."

Otherwise, I have the right to remain silent.

Before the Black Death Doctor could finish speaking, a smooth tentacle extended from beside Chen Qi's feet, then suddenly wrapped around the Black Death Doctor's limbs, and then squeezed sharply—

quack!

In just a split second, the Black Death Doctor's ribs cracked like a flattened orange, and blood splattered everywhere.

Chen Qi got down from the dining table and said quietly:
"I am giving an order, not asking for your opinion."

"Furthermore, Dr. Black Death, as a doctor, you should know that the Tower of Books possesses the technology to extract memories."

Memory extraction technology… The Black Death Doctor gritted his teeth; this was one of the abilities of the Knowledge Hunter.

It can extract other people's memories and knowledge, but the brains of anyone whose memories and knowledge are extracted will suffer severe damage.

Anyone whose memories are extracted will become demented.

The legendary Book Saint, the Bookmaker Aslina, even possesses the ability to turn an entire extraordinary being into a living book!
Legend has it that at the apex of the Spiral Library, many books of flesh and blood are sealed away.

"Coincidentally, we have a knowledge hunter right here."

Chen Qi drank a cup of black tea and leisurely glanced at An.

Although Ann herself does not possess memory extraction techniques, with her current knowledge of the Tower of Books, obtaining items for memory extraction is not difficult.

In other words, the moment the Black Death Doctor fell into their hands, he was already dead.

The Black Death Doctor's eyes were completely filled with despair, and he stopped speaking.

Chen Qi held up his finger and said:
"Of course, Dr. Black Death, if you can offer some help, I can still give you a chance."

The Black Death doctor raised his head, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes:
"What...what opportunity?"

"We'll make your death quicker."

"..."

The Black Death Doctor remained silent, his lips moving incessantly.

"Okay, come with me."

Chen Qi got up and dragged the Black Death Doctor along the way toward the potions workshop, toward Little Raven's room.

Although the Black Death Doctor deserved to die, it must be admitted that as the creator of the Black Blood Research Institute, he still had considerable value.

Chen Qi walked in, slowly pushed open the door to the little crow's room, and then placed the daytime lantern on the bedside table.

The light from the lantern slowly illuminated the extremely haggard face of a young girl.

However, the girl in front of me had a furrowed brow, and her skin was covered with dark veins.

She bit her lip, as if recounting a nightmare.

As Fen said, the little crow's condition was not optimistic.

Chen Qi kicked the Black Death Doctor's head off the ground and asked:

"Black Death Doctor, do you have a way to treat the Black Blood Poison?"

The exhausted Black Death doctor raised his head and said:
"Give up. What she has in her body is the true blood of the Black Whale. This power has long since seeped into her blood."

In this world, there is only one path to salvation.

The Black Death doctor gazed at the distant sea and murmured:

"That is to gain the approval of the Great Whale and become its apostle."

"Incurable..." Chen Qi frowned deeply.

In his original memory, all those who were poisoned by the black blood would eventually die and become prisoners of the great whale's power!
The antidote for the Black Blood Poison is still only at the very beginning.

But the Black Death doctor in front of him directly denied the existence of an 'antidote'.

Chen Qi rummaged through the Black Death Doctor's backpack card and found a special vial of medicine.

Black Death Inhibitor:

Nature and form: Illusory, shadow
Description: An inhibitor of Black Blood Power, which can slow down the effects of Black Blood Power on the blood for one month.

The Black Death doctor looked at the vial of inhibitor and murmured:

"The blood in the little crow's body is the true blood of the black whale. This can only be suppressed, not cured. Black Hunter, this is the power of the great whale..."

"That's enough."

Chen Qi let Fen check the medicine, and then injected the little crow with the temporary antidote.

Although the period lasts only one month, ensuring the activity of the crows will guarantee the development of subsequent research.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

The little crow's chest heaved with intense pain, causing her to keep her eyes tightly shut, only clenching Fen's hand.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Fen, like a gentle mother, stroked the little crow's forehead.

After the inhibitor takes full effect, the crow should be able to have a one-month active period.

The Black Death Doctor watched this scene silently, his expression difficult to control.

He lowered his eyes and struggled one last time:

“Black Hunters, you have all seen the unusual nature of this power.”

"On the Misty Sea, the Blackblood Empire's legions and pirates have joined forces, and all of them have taken the Black God's Soldier Potion."

Like a dark, oppressive storm, once it begins, you cannot stop it.

"Ok?"

Chen Qi turned around. He hadn't expected that the Black Death Doctor would actually reveal the information.

The Black Death Doctor frowned deeply.

In fact, the plan to harass Chen Qi and the others' base should have been carried out by Drowned Corpse alone.

However, he, who was usually so reckless, volunteered for the mission out of fear.

He wanted to distance himself from the combined forces of the Blackblood Empire and the Black Whale Legion.

With the resources available in the A-rank rift, the Black God's Soldier Potion has been abused; almost every soldier has used the Black God's Soldier Potion he developed.

In that dark, dense fog, monsters rose up in numbers of tens of thousands.

Those soldiers, no, to be precise, were more like some kind of natural disaster, an aggregate of some kind of insect swarm.

Those countless eyes looked as if they could devour him in an instant.

He couldn't control the soldiers he created, and even felt fear—

No, perhaps he was never the creator.

He was merely a suppressor, a suppressor of the Black Whale's power.

The Black Death Doctor's eyes were filled with despair. He could already foresee the destruction to come. With the collapse of Moonstone City, the entire coastal city would be breached, and millions would die.

Furthermore, the continuous collapse of the A-level rift is causing pollution of the entire ocean, threatening the destruction of all civilizations within it...

The Black Death doctor looked up, gritted his teeth, and muttered to himself:
"Black Hunters, you can't defeat my masterpiece..."

I...I...can help you...research...the Black Death drug..."

"It's too late." Chen Qi looked at the Black Death Doctor, whose heart had turned to ashes.

The Black Death Doctor is a madman; the probability of something going wrong is too high if he's involved in the research and development of the antidote for the Black Blood Poison.

Without hesitation, Chen Qi summoned the Lightkeepers from the other islands and handed the Black Death Doctor over to the Ice Witch and Haye to deal with.

After dealing with the Black Death Doctor, Chen Qi looked at Fen and glanced at the time.

According to Dr. Black Death, the entire Black Whale Gang has also completed its full armament.

The walls they built are about to face their real test.

……

……

Sea of ​​mist.

Each A-rank rift is a small world, and the collapse of each A-rank rift signifies the merging of a small world with the real world.

Above this vast sea, the collapsed A-level rifts intertwine, and from the sky's plan view, the entire Misty Sea at this moment resembles a colorful sea pieced together from various different ecosystems.

Within this are countless extraordinary resources, and the resources in each of these fissures are enough to be mined for hundreds of years!

On a desolate island, Whale Father counted on his fingers, quietly awaiting the arrival of the Black Blood Empire's army.

At this moment, on this boiling sea, thousands of black giant ships bound by chains passed through the cracks and arrived at the sea area in front of them.

It is the great navy of the Blackblood Empire.

Such a massive amount of resources led the Blackblood Empire to abandon conflicts in other regions and instead deploy more troops to the Witch Sea!

On the foremost giant ship, a tall, hairy man descended from the sky, surrounded by a massive legion of Blackblood soldiers.

He was none other than General Blood Lion.

The whale father sized up the blood lion:

"We are well prepared, and I hope we can cooperate happily."

However, are you really not afraid of the steam hand of the Bei Kingdom? I've heard that the Bei Kingdom's capital is about to launch its highest-level war order.

At that time, the Hunter's Guild and workshops from the inland areas will all head to the Witch's Sea.

Despite his previous defeat at the Tower of Books, Blood Lion has now regained his confidence.

As the sun rose, he had already forgotten the defeat of that day.

Ultimately, that battle failed to unleash the true power of his War Beast.

The Blood Lion roared with laughter:

"They don't have time for that. More than their coastline, the Kingdom of Bei should be concerned about their land borders!"

"Father Whale!"
By the time they came to their senses, the entire Moonstone City, and the sole remaining object in the A-rank rift, were already our spoils; all that remained for them was ruins.

"And Father Whale, you too will become an honorary citizen of our Blackblood Empire! Are you ready?"

"How exciting..." Whale Father's lips curled into a cold smile as he snapped his fingers.

Soon, a dark mist enveloped him, and within that mist, it seemed, there were countless ghosts.

“We are ready, Blood Lion. All we need is for your army to charge, and we will follow in your footsteps.”

"Shall we launch an attack?"

Blood Lion clenched his fist:
“Father Whale, don’t think that I, your father, don’t know what you’re thinking!”
I know you covet the forbidden rift above the highest point of the tide, above the A-rank rift!

Moreover, you know more about the forbidden rift beneath the sea than we do.

As the A-level rift continues to collapse, even more powerful rifts will be born in this world.

It is a vast world in itself, possessing unimaginable power.

Throughout this long history, the forbidden rift has existed only in legends.

And within it lies the path to the sixth rank, the angel!

Once you step into the forbidden rift, it means you've taken a step on the path to godhood!
The blood lion's eyes were filled with longing.

He comes from a well-known and long-established family, but in the long history of his family, no one has ever taken a step on the path to godhood.

However, if the crack is a blade-like crack—

He will no longer be an admiral in the Blackblood Empire's navy! He will become an unprecedented glory for his family! He will become the glory of the empire!

The blood lion's eyes were filled with longing:

"Our messengers of natural disasters have completed their detection. Soon, a forbidden rift will be born on this sea."

"But remember, without our permission, your Black Whale Gang is absolutely forbidden from setting foot in the Forbidden Rift. That belongs to the Empire!"

“Father Whale, don’t think that you and your Blood Hunter, both of you at the fifth rank, can defy the Black Blood Empire. You are merely assistants!”
The Blackblood Empire is already recruiting fifth-tier transcendents from other battlefields and dungeons to join this war!

Blood Lion glared angrily.

The pursuit of power is an instinct of the extraordinary.

Whale Father is an ambitious man, and he must make Whale Father understand that the supreme forbidden rift belongs exclusively to their Black Blood Empire.

Anyone who attempts to oppose the Empire will pay the price.

The whale father looked behind the blood lion.

Behind him, a colossal object, as large as a mountain range, slowly crossed the crevice and set foot on this vast sea.

The heavy shadow fell over them all.

Thousands of thick chains, each ten meters in diameter, fell from the sky.

Mobile War City-States

For this war! The Blackblood Empire has launched a warship constructed from materials from hundreds of B-rank rifts and dozens of A-rank rifts.

The father whale did not refute, but said seriously:

"We, the Black Whales, will keep up with your pace."

……

……

noon.

Chen Qi woke up in the chair in the little crow's room and looked at the person next to him.

Fen was sitting in the chair, asleep with her head resting on his shoulder.

Last night, Chen Qi and Fen worked through the night to dispose of the Black Death Doctor's backpack card.

Among them is a considerable amount of classified information about the Black Blood Research Institute.

By the time they finished dealing with it, it was already past midnight. Fortunately, Chen Qi was able to sleep in Little Crow's room.

"But where did the little crow go?"

Chen Qi looked around the entire room.

The room was empty except for Fen; Anne and the little crow were not there.

"Where did they go?" Chen Qi asked, puzzled.

Just then, the door was gently pushed open.

Then, An walked in carrying some breakfast pastries, and said with a smile:

"Qi, Fen, would you like some pastries for breakfast?"

Without hesitation, Chen Qi took the pastry and took a bite.

At this point, Ann continued:
"Oh, right, Qi, besides breakfast, there's one more little thing."

"Little things?"

Chen Qi looked puzzled.

An said with a smile:

"Under the spur of Water Sprite No. 7, last night, my slave teacher... no, cough cough, my beloved teacher Aslina, has completed the analysis of the Abyss Flame."
