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

Chapter 489 Final Plan

Within the thick black fog, the seawater churned, and a massive storm, like a blade, relentlessly battered the Ghost of the Underworld.

Chen Qi put the compass down, and suddenly felt a sticky sensation on the sole of his boots—

A layer of black substance attached to the ship's deck crawled along the cracks and instantly crushed the lights of the Ghost of the Underworld.

The instant the lights went out, they opened their blood-red eyes.

Immediately afterwards, tens of thousands of blood-red eyes opened, densely packed together.

They emitted hoarse, monstrous sounds, laughing as they spoke:

Night has fallen—

A distorted Shadow Fiend tide!

"Wakuwaku (Go!)"

At Water Sprite No. 1's command, a series of thumping sounds came from the ship.

"Hahaha!"

Tiny red crab special forces surrounded the Ghost of the Underworld, brandishing large bone spears.

Dragon Lantern Spear!
In the blink of an eye, these arrogant Shadow Demons fled like rats.

"Captain, ahead, ahead there is a giant bird or beast over a hundred meters tall."

The glass porthole in the captain's cabin shattered with a bang, and Peroo poked her head out, saying in terror.

The Witch Sea, shrouded in black mist, is terrifying; it's teeming with mutated behemoths and shadow demons.

Even fourth-tier superhumans find it difficult to move around in this land.

The little crow, soaking wet, struggled to climb onto the boat.
"Qi, Water Sprite No. 5 and I have completed the collection of Abyss Blood and can now create more Black Blood Antidote."

But we attracted something big—”

Soon, a berserk, 100-meter-long giant terror bird charged towards them!
Its immense power could capsize the Ghost of the Underworld in an instant.

Slippery tentacles sprouted from the chest of the Ember Beast beside Chen Qi, preparing to block the giant Terror Bird.

An opportunity... The Beast of Ember is preparing to launch an attack.

Click!

"Twelve Touches—"

Chen Qi snapped his fingers.

In an instant, five giant tentacles, as hard as rocks, surged out of the sea, like the giant hand of a god, grasped the demon bird in the air, and swallowed it into the sea.

Bang——

As blood splattered across the sea, a thick trail of blood appeared on the black ocean.

"..."

The Beast of Ember remained silent.

My teammates killed him too quickly.

It seems that it had no chance to make a move in this battle.

"Wakuwaku (Big brother will protect you!)"

The Water Sprite No. 1, who commanded the little red crab to defeat the Shadow Fiend, ran over and said considerately.

The Ember Beast possesses ancient deep-sea blood and can also attract Water Sprite No. 1 and sea beasts.

Chen Qi said with a smile:

"Too slow, Little Yu Huo."

"I... I definitely will next time..."

How exactly does one become the leader? The Beast of Ember fell into deep thought.

Chen Qi used the Fire Forging Technique to ignite the lanterns in the Nether Sea, dispelling the Shadow Demons, and loudly proclaimed:
"keep going!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Peru stood upright.

Although the distorted Witch Sea is extremely dangerous, it is full of dangerous giant sea monsters.

However, the Ghost of the Underworld, protected by the near-shore overlord and the twelve tentacles of the deep sea, is undoubtedly the most terrifying natural disaster.

Soon, their ships passed through the thick fog.

Chen Qi put down the binoculars and said:
"Little Crow, are you sure Fen and Big White are in this direction?"

The thick black fog also affected Chenqi's spiritual perception.

The little crow nodded:
"The coded messages along the way all point to this place..."

Hopefully it's not a trap... Chen Qi looked into the distance.

Suddenly, countless massive, heavy shells pierced through the air—

"Captain, detect high-energy spiritual energy!"

Peru said that after returning to her fifth-tier strength, she possessed many abnormal detection skills such as danger prediction, dove vision, and scene tracking.

In terms of spiritual energy detection, it is even slightly stronger than Chen Qi, who has deep-sea perception.

"This is--"

Peroo and the little crow looked up, staring in horror at the scene.

Within the black mist, two gigantic figures were locked in combat.

The dark figure on the right was constantly emitting a deafening sound of gears turning.

Under the firelight, one could vaguely see the cracks in the steel-forged, heavy metal arm, which continuously unleashed one explosive punch after another.

"A giant mech, interesting..."

Chen Qi raised his head.

This is a giant mech measuring 150 meters, one of the strongest weapons in the Kingdom of Bei.

It requires ten fourth-tier or one fifth-tier to control.

However, compared to the giant steam-powered mech, Chen Qi was more concerned about the enormous object on the right side of the giant mech.

The 200-meter-long, decaying body was like a floating island of flesh, its surface covered with moss-like mycelium and calcifying bone plates, with countless giant mouths and fangs constantly wriggling.

It's like a synthetic mountain of flesh covered by numerous mutated monsters.

Above the behemoth's head, a huge black eye constantly rotated, controlling this massive mountain of rotting flesh—

"Black Whale—"

The little crow cried out in alarm, its body beginning to tremble.

According to legend, the black whale's body can cover the sky, and its true form is an oval-shaped giant sphere with a black hole on top that can devour everything.

That enormous eye, like that of a black whale, was manipulating the mountain of flesh.

"It is not the original entity, but a derivative existence."

Peilu corrected.

The mountain of flesh with black eyeballs in front of you is not the real thing.

Nevertheless, the power of this rotting mountain of flesh far exceeded expectations, surpassing the vast majority of deep-sea natural disasters.

Boom!

On top of the giant mech, a semi-transparent giant hand pulls on the hidden energy behind it.

The giant mech, tightly bound, no longer spewed out light cannons made of spiritual energy, but instead molten alloy compressed to its critical point!

When the giant cannon was fired, the clouds within a kilometer radius shook!

Despite this, the rotting mountain of flesh remained firmly entangled around the giant mech.

"Captain, this is stronger than any deep-sea disaster I've ever seen!"

"Pelé exclaimed."

"you……"

The flames of the Ember Beast burned faintly.

Has Pelú forgotten about it?
Chen Qi used his spiritual power to sense and probe the area.

On the giant steam-powered mech, there are three extraordinary individuals.

Mrs. Oly, and the invisible hand, Haye!
And a fifth-tier Hammer Phase Transcendent he had never seen before, who should be the owner of this mecha.

Boom!

The rotting mountain of flesh slammed its head into the chest of the giant mech, creating a scorched crater thirty meters long.

"Do we need to...fight?"

"The beast of lingering fire asked."

We can't let ourselves be looked down upon anymore!

It must prove its strength to Pelu and Number One!

"A fight is needed, but your involvement is not required."

Chen Qi snapped his fingers again.

Boom!

The seawater surged, and two giant dragons covered in black scales poked their heads out, exhaling black smoke.

Black Lantern Dragon and the Near-Sea Overlord!

At Chen Qi's command, the two sea dragons fired their dragon cannons together, striking the rotting mountain of flesh!

"!!!"

The giant mech seized the opportunity, drew its fifty-meter-long serrated blade from its waist, and plunged it into the black eye of the rotting mountain of flesh—

Tens of thousands of gears roared!
"Hammering. Gear Meat Grinder!"

Above the giant mecha, countless plumes of scalding steam roared.

The giant blade severed the head, body, and lower body of the rotting mountain of flesh in succession, and finally cut it in half with the last cut!

Boom!

Rotting blood rained down on the sea filled with black mist!

"Not bad..." Chen Qi stroked his chin and said to Water Sprite Number Three:
"Move the boat closer."

……

……

The place where they just fought is called Fog Island, which is also the largest island in the Misty Sea.

On the port, which was filled with the flesh and blood of monsters, three superhumans, covered in wounds and blood, had been waiting for a long time.

Hayek's eyes were filled with joy:
"Black Hunter, you're still alive!!"

Lady Ollie's eyes widened in disbelief: "The Blood Hunters couldn't kill you, Black Hunters?"

"Am I dead in your eyes?"

"This is the only good news we've received in these nightmarish seven days!"

The sentimental Mrs. Oly couldn't help but wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Chen Qi and the others disembarked from the ship and jumped onto the island, which was full of wreckage.

Chen Qi looked around.

There are at least ten thousand corpses here.

The mere smell of the monster's blood made Peru feel nauseous.

Hayek bowed, performing the highest form of courtesy:
"Let me introduce you. This is Ramon, the chief engineer of the Steam Hand."

To Haye's left, a robust, white-haired elderly man, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, laughed and said:

"Hello, Black Hunter!"
To be honest, if it weren't for your help just now, this old man probably wouldn't be able to go back to see his wretched wife!

"Hello there!"

Without much small talk, Chen Qi immediately asked:
"Haye, Finn, and Big White, are they with you?"

Upon hearing the names of Finn and the Ice Witch, Haye looked at the wreckage before him and let out a long sigh.

"Black Hunter, let's talk in the underground workshop."

An underground workshop… Curiosity flashed in Chen Qi’s eyes.

……

……

Chen Qi followed Haye's footsteps and arrived at the underground workshop a hundred meters below the island.

clang! clang! clang! clang!
Inside the underground workshop, over a hundred hammer-wielding extraordinary beings looked at the legendary hunter with either anticipation or fear.

Even the Steam Hand had heard of this newly born, powerful fifth-tier transcendent.

"Every superhuman is a master of the Steam Hand; are they going to build the Rift Workshop?" Chen Qi guessed.

To be precise, the project currently underway has already exceeded the scale of the Rift Workshop.

"This is?"

"Pellu asked curiously."

Ramon explained:
"We, the Hand of Steam, are forging the Spear of Noah, and the Shadow of the Ice Witch's Fate—"

"Noah's Spear, the Shadow of Destiny?"

Peroo and the little crow had never heard of it.

Ramon continued to explain:
"These are both miraculous engineering feats. Among them, Noah's Spear is our Bei Kingdom's plan to slay the Great Whale—"

It is one of the ultimate weapons of our nation, and in the past, Noah's Spear pierced the chest of a sixth-order mad angel.

The Shadow of Fate is the blueprint for the Ice Witch.

According to the Ice Witch, as long as the Shadow of Destiny can be created according to the blueprints, she can unleash the domain of a sixth-tier transcendent being in this specific location.

Noah's Spear, the Shadow of Destiny... Chen Qi looked at the entire enormous workshop.

The spiraling, hundred-meter-long wall is now covered with runes and pipes.

Even fourth-tier superhumans have virtually no ability to resist the power of the Edge God.

To kill a fringe colossus of the Black Whale level, this ultimate weapon is indispensable.

"How is the construction progressing?"

Chen Qi asked.

He noticed that most of the hammer-wielding superhumans here had fear on their faces.

Many extraordinary individuals even knelt in the corners, praying incessantly.

An atmosphere of despair was spreading.

These brilliant engineers, whose steam-powered hands shone brightly, were now also pitiful people trapped in this thick black fog.

A hammer-wielding superhuman said:
"This is bad. In the past few days, we have lost ten of our companions, five of whom starved to death..."

Haye sighed again:

"We were attacked by pirates when we arrived at this place."

To create Noah's Spear, five unique hammer phases and a large quantity of high-grade hammer phase alloys are required.

However, in the pirate attack, half of the materials either sank into the sea or were destroyed by the pus of the rotting monsters…

The entire underground workshop fell into a deathly silence.

Hayek sighed and broke the silence:

"We have no way out."

The Black Hunter, the Ice Witch, and Palu's other exploration teams were heading to other rifts in an attempt to find the unique item found within, along with hammer alloy, and most importantly, food—

Sinking into the sea, destroyed by pirates, food shortages...

At this point in time, searching for these unique hammerstone cracks is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Chen Qi thought for a moment and immediately said:

"I can help retrieve debris that has fallen into the sea."

Ramon immediately retorted:
"No, this is too difficult. Under the influence of the black mist, the deep sea is teeming with mutated monsters—"

Hmm? Chen Qi pointed to the Ember Beast beside him.

The Beast of Lingering Fire turned its head, and the flames turned pink, as if it were somewhat shy.

"Shepherd of the Seas!" Ramon stopped speaking, then realized his mistake.

As a sea herder, Chen Qi is currently the only person capable of diving into the mutated deep sea!

Ramon breathed a sigh of relief:

"Black Hunter, you have brought hope."

Currently, the plans for Noah's Spear and Shadow of Fate have been stalled for far too long.

They're going crazy if there's no hope.

Chen Qi continued to ask:

"Are Fen and Big White Fur together? When will they be back?"

The current situation is far more dangerous than Chen Qi had imagined.

Haye said happily:

"The Flower Witch?"

Soon, we received her message not long ago—”

Just then, a hammer-wielding superhuman said:
“Master Haye!
In the distance, a white tower exploration vessel is returning home, pleading for protection.

Soon, in the underground workshop, the extraordinary individuals used the Eye of Far Voyage to bring up the scene above the sea.

On the murky sea, the flag of the White Pagoda fluttered in the wind.

At the bow of the ship, a short-haired woman with curly hair looked delighted.

Aslina, the saint of books!

More importantly, behind Aslina, a girl dressed as a witch was also leaning against the ship.

Fen! Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately walked towards the door.

……

……

Above the sea.

Aslina said with a smile:

"Miss Witch, let's celebrate! We've survived another day!"

Finn leaned against the boat, the black flower on her head withering.
"Teacher, He Qi is still missing..."

"Qi, Qi, Qi! It's Qi again! In just seven days, you've mentioned Qi at least a thousand times!"

Aslina shook her head.

She's tired of hearing it!

You should know, Chen Qi is the bastard who kidnapped her!

Ever since the news of the Blood Hunters came out, Finn, who is usually optimistic, has been wearing a grumpy face.

But that's a forbidden rift!

The chances of surviving are extremely low!

Aslina comforted her:
"Miss Witch, just a dead man!"

Don't worry about it too much! My family, the Holy One, also has many outstanding extraordinary individuals..."

Finn glared fiercely at Aslina:
"You are not allowed to die by cursing!"

"Ha! What a waste of my kindness, you even dare to threaten me!" Aslina said.
"Facts are facts!"

"You must know, that's a forbidden rift. Even I, a saint, have never cleared a forbidden rift!"

"No matter what you say, a dead person can't just appear in front of you!"

Finn clenched her fist:
"Say it again!"

This holy being will speak his mind!

boom!
Aslina raised her hand and smacked Finn on the head.

Compared to the fifth-tier Aslina, Finn was like a little toy.

"you……"

Finn frantically swung his fists, but couldn't even touch Aslina's hair; he could only unleash a barrage of punches into the air.

The gap in strength between the two is too large.

"hehe!"

Aslina raised an eyebrow, preparing to give Finn's ass a good whack:

"A mere fourth-tier little witch dares to lay a hand on this Saint? It's time to teach her a lesson..."

A gentle sea breeze blows by.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down her neck.

Why do I feel a chill down my spine...?

Aslina's hand, which was about to spank Finn, froze in mid-air.
