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

Chapter 490 The Annoying but Useful Aslina
"Murderous..."

Aslina looked down at Finn, her hand hovering in the air, hesitant.

A chill ran down my spine!
Should she hit him or not?
Aslina thought carefully for three seconds.

Who is Aslina?
The ruler of the White Pagoda Sea for hundreds of years!
If she has to tolerate even the slightest offense from a witch, what kind of saint is she!
As a saint, the one thing you absolutely cannot lack is domineering presence!
After all, the Ice Witch was no longer there... Aslina looked around, and after confirming that the murderous aura had disappeared, she struck out with a fierce slap.

Take this!
Snapped!
A fleeting afterimage.

"?"

Fen looked up in surprise.

Aslina was swept past by a whip too sharp to be seen with the naked eye, and spun around in the air like a high-speed spinning top...

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

Aslina spun endlessly in the air.

"what happened?"

Fen's eyes widened.

Because of her heavy teaching duties, she stayed by Aslina's side.

Aslina consistently advocated for escaping.

She had been bullied by Aslina quite a bit these days.

Who can spin Azrina like a top? A question mark popped up above Finn's head.

Long time no see, Fen... Chen Qi landed on the boat, preparing to cover Fen's eyes and give her a surprise.

However, suddenly, Fen turned around, opened her arms, and hugged her:
Qi! I can smell you!

"I knew you were still alive!"

As Fen spoke, her eyes became slightly moist.

Chen Qi is still alive!

Her intuition told her that Chen Qi was still alive!

Fen wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said:
"Qi, I have so much to tell you..."

"We encountered a lot of monsters..."

"The father whale is preparing for the ceremony—"

"Oh right, teacher, she, she..."

Fen opened her arms, and a flustered little orange blossom appeared on her head.

So many things have happened in these ten days.

There was so much she wanted to say to Chen Qi.

So much so that for a moment, Fen didn't know what to say and became a little stutterer.

Finally, she could only say, her face flushed:
"Qi, I miss you—"

"I know."

This is so exciting... Chen Qi patted Fen's little head.

After saying that, Fen stood on tiptoe, preparing to hug Chenqi again and feel Chenqi's body temperature.

Snapped!
In the next instant, Aslina, who was spiraling in the air, fell from the sky and landed between the two of them.

Dizzy and aching all over, Aslina looked up at Chen Qi, her eyes filled with both fear and joy.

Of course, the biggest reaction was surprise!
"Ten days, and you've cleared the Forbidden Rift?" Aslina asked.

"Little Black Fur, you, you're still alive! Blood Hunters really can't beat you—"

"This holy sage knew you could return, return..."

Snapped!
Chen Qi kicked the resilient Aslina into the sea.

"It's dangerous outside. Let's talk about it when we get back to base."

As dawn breaks, he gazes at the writhing shadows on the sea and hears distant cries, manipulating the wind and seawater to sail towards the islands of the Misty Sea.

……

……

Inside the underground workshop.

The supplies-gathering team, led by Aslina, wearily entered the very center of the underground workshop.

Aslina's exploration team, composed of elite White Tower hunters, is the largest exploration team besides Palu's fleet.

Their return brought a glimmer of hope to this desperate underground workshop.

With her face bruised and swollen, Aslina dumped everything they had collected onto the table.

Among them are rare delicacies such as grilled sausages, green vegetables, and cakes.

Many people were drooling.

You should know that these days, the extraordinary individuals who have mastered hammering techniques in these workshops have had to eat rotting tree roots.

Of course, the amount of food was not much, just enough for fifty people to eat in a small backpack.

There are a hundred extraordinary craftsmen in the underground workshop alone.

Of course, even more important is the alloy needed to manufacture Noah's Spear.

Ramon and Haye immediately bowed to Aslina upon seeing her.

Although they are all at the fifth rank, Aslina's status is above the other two.

Ramon, the chief engineer of the Steam Hand, said urgently:
"The situation is critical, Miss Aslina. We need your information."

Aslina remained silent, only glancing at Chen Qi.

Huh? Haye was stunned.

Could it be that the Black Hunters are their leader?
Chen Qi said:

"Aslina, you speak."

Qi's back. I need to be more composed, or I'll be thrown into the sea to feed the fish again... Aslina wiped the blood from her nose and said seriously:
"During this expedition, we collected some food."

In addition, we also collected the raw materials for the alloy, a unique piece from a cracked hammer!

Haye and Ramon, the two old men, took stock of the alloy materials.

Aslina and Finn were quite lucky; they stumbled upon an A-order hammer-phase crack steam furnace, where they obtained a large quantity of high-order alloys.

Ramon said seriously:

"Not enough, not enough. This amount of material isn't even enough to make the tip of Noah's Spear..."

"This big piece isn't enough!"

Aslina shrugged and questioned.

Ramon shook his head:

"Lady Aslina, this is enough for ordinary natural disasters."

But what we need to deal with is the Great Whale, the god of the edges. If Noah's Spear has even the slightest flaw, it will cause all our previous efforts to be in vain...

And you and I will be lost on this vast sea.

Aslina retorted sarcastically:
"Faced with the God of the Edge! Is this all your country, Bei, is capable of!"

"Your country, Bei, is truly useless!"

"Within the Kingdom of Bei, a forbidden rift has appeared. The machinery in the workshops is going berserk, and countless bolts of lightning are raging within the rift..."

Ramon countered:
"Where is your White Pagoda? Where is your support?"
"Facing the great whale, are you the only one from the White Tower? Miss Aslina!"

The appearance of the black whale has crossed the border between the two countries.

They must join forces to protect their respective territories.

Aslina wiped away her cold sweat and couldn't help but say:
"The White Tower is dealing with the magic network..."

The power of the giant whale was like the initial dominoes, triggering one disaster after another.

Neither the White Tower nor the top fighting force of the Bei Kingdom could protect themselves.

The two people who were arguing looked at each other, shook their heads together, and sighed deeply.

They had to admit that everything they were doing was a gamble, a gamble with extremely low odds.

An atmosphere of despair... Chen Qi crossed his arms and said:
"Stop arguing, I will help you retrieve the lost alloy."

What we need now is a feasible plan.

Ramon looked at Chen Qi and said:
Thank you for your help.

Black Hunter, if you can help us salvage the alloy, we can also obtain a unique Hammer Phase Rift item.

In ten days, we can forge the Spear of Noah, with a range of 100,000 meters.

At that time, all we had to do was lure the whale into our firing range.

Finn clenched her fist, interrupting the crowd:

"Everyone, we only have five days..."

Five days! Everyone turned to look at Fen.

Five days to create Noah's Spear—

Even if two more fifth-tier hammer-type extraordinary beings came, they still couldn't do it.

Chen Qi asked in confusion:
"Why? Fen, what happened to Big White Fur?"

On the way back, Fen told Chenqi a lot of things.

However, Big White Hair was not mentioned at all.

Fen's fists were clenched so tightly they were red, and she looked at everyone:

"Teacher, the teacher has gone to fight the giant whale."

"Yes! Fight the giant whale!"

Perlu screamed. "?"

Ramon pressed on, asking:
"The Ice Witch? Why?"

The black whale is a behemoth, a god of the edge.

It is a divine punishment that can only be overcome by gathering the strength of everyone!
Any fifth-tier transcendent being who goes up against the giant whale alone is courting death.

Even if the opponent is the Ice Witch, it doesn't matter.

Chen Qi also pressed on, asking:

"Fen, why?"

Fen explained:

"We were originally going to explore the rift and collect materials, but the teacher's image of fate saw us..."

"I saw the ceremony..."

"ceremony?"

Everyone looked puzzled.

Finn continued:
"The Whale Father is preparing a massive ritual that can absorb the power of believers and, using them as vessels, briefly reappear in the world. At that time, it will be able to walk in the sunlight of day..."

“You should know that Father Whale has always known our location, but he is afraid of the unfinished Noah’s Spear, the secret weapon of the Kingdom of Be.”

"Once the ritual is completed, nothing can stop it, whether it's the Spear of Noah or anything else—"

Fen Yue said, the lower the head is:
"According to the teacher's information, at the current pace, in just three days, the entire ocean will be completely turned into barren land, and all of us..."

"Did Big White go to stop the ceremony?"

Chen Qi asked.

Fen nodded:
"Yes, the moment the ritual begins is the most vulnerable moment of the ritual."

The teacher decided to hide in the deep sea and stop them when the ritual began…

"If the teacher can do it, we have five more days."

If we fail, we only have three days…

Three days...

This number echoed in everyone's hearts, plunging everyone into a faint sense of despair.

This time is far too short.

Chen Qi asked:

"Fen, doesn't Big White need help?"

"No... Teacher used a self-freezing technique to hide all his spiritual power, fell into the sea, and hid in the deep sea."

She said, "If we go, we'll only hinder her actions..."

Fen's voice trembled more and more as she spoke.

In her mind, the scene of the Ice Witch calmly leaping off the ship and falling into the sea kept replaying.

In the end, the Ice Witch also returned the little yellow flower that she had given to her teacher when she was a child to Fen.

Even Finn, who had always idolized her teacher, believed that the Ice Witch's actions were not aimed at stopping the Whale Father, but rather at her own death.

That stubborn white-haired guy... Chen Qi placed his hand on his forehead.

However, he had to admit that Big White Hair's plan was indeed the most reliable one.

To fight the giant whale, they must be well-prepared and deliver a fatal blow at the last moment.

"Three days."

Ramon said:

"At this time, we can only forge the incomplete Noah's Spear!"

Chen Qi looked at Ramon and said:
"Do your best. Even if you can't kill the whale, as long as you can hurt it, that's enough."

Ramon looked at Chen Qi, pondered for a moment, and nodded.

The Black Hunter has just cleared the Rift, and the items he obtained in the Forbidden Rift might be able to restrain the Great Whale.

Time was extremely tight.

But with the addition of Black Hunter and Aslina, their hopes have risen from zero to at least one percent.

Following Chen Qi and Ramon's instructions, the group drank the potion without hesitation and began their operation.

Inside the underground workshop, a massive project began operating at full capacity.

"Three days..."

Chen Qi thought for a moment. In the next three days, he had to make use of the items he obtained from the forbidden rift.

First, there is the Seed of the Mirror.

The Mirror Seed can fully unleash the potential of a young pet.

Among its pets, there are not many juvenile pets.

Only the near-shore overlord and the seven water spirits are pet beasts in their juvenile stage.

The Seed of the Mirror can test potential, but it takes a considerable amount of time.

Besides that, there's the identification of damaged cards... Chen Qi looked at Aslina sitting in the center of the conference table.

Aslina crossed her legs. She smiled slightly and put on her round-framed glasses.

"Black Hunter, I have forgiven your rude behavior."

"By the way, Black Hunter, there's a small thing I need your help with."

"what?"

Chen Qi asked.

Aslina said:

"Could I borrow Water Sprite No. 7?"

Water Sprite No. 7? Chen Qi shook his head:

"Aslina, now is not the time to wash your feet with water sprites."

Aslina adjusted her glasses with her right hand:
"No! What do you take me for, Aslina?"
Am I the kind of person who would seek pleasure in a dangerous situation?

Chen Qi did not hesitate:

"Yes."

Aslina blushed deeply and said angrily:

"I borrowed Water Sprite No. 7 to get through this crisis!"

"Overcome the crisis?"

Chen Qi looked puzzled.

"Yes, if we don't work harder, my White Pagoda Sea will be gone!"
I must work hard! I must strive!
But without Water Sprite No. 7's whip! I simply can't work properly!

Aslina said very seriously.

With the crisis looming, Aslina prepared to work through the night to set up a giant magic array for the White Tower Federation outside the base.

However, she is addicted to slacking off and needs the encouragement of Water Sprite No. 7 to perform at her best.

Hmm... A hint of speechlessness flashed in Chen Qi's eyes.

Only a whip can make it work!

Is Aslina addicted to smoking?

Chen Qi said:

"No problem, but before that, do you have a way to authenticate the damaged card?"

"Appraisal? What good stuff have you gotten your hands on!"

Aslina rubbed her hands together, rummaged through her backpack cards, and soon pulled out a powerful appraisal scroll:

"I'm a professional when it comes to authentication! Give it to me!"

Admittedly, while Aslina is annoying, she's also undeniably useful.

Chen Qi handed the tattered card to Aslina.

"give it to me!"

Aslina unfolded the identification scroll and placed the card in the center of the scroll.

Countless words floated on the scroll, while cards danced in the air, emitting a dazzling, intense light—

"how?"

Chen Qi asked.

"Wait a moment, this is a bit difficult, it's not within the scope of ordinary identification..."

What's the story behind this card?
The value of this card may already exceed that of a Tier 5 skill card!

Aslina frowned and took out an even larger appraisal scroll.

The light became even more dazzling...

"not enough……"

Aslina took out all the scrolls at once, breaking out in a cold sweat.

It wasn't until five minutes had passed that Aslina stopped casting the spell.

"How is the result?"

Chen Qi said anxiously.

Aslina looked around to make sure no one else was nearby.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down her spine, and she said in an extremely low voice:
"This, this seems to be a damaged sixth-tier Lamp-type class card..."
