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

Chapter 525 Lilith's Punishment!

One week later, in the art capital, at the White Dove Post Office.

The morning sunlight filtered through the gauze curtains, outlining the soft, full curves of a young girl's figure.

The girl adjusted her glasses and looked at the mountain of drafts piled on the table.

#Sacred Beast Festival Begins#
#The Subterranean Titan Descends, the Art Capital Collapses#
#Famine in the Border Town, Beast Tide Attacks#
#The Demon in the Rhine, Fear from the Sea Descends#
#A fifth-tier transcendent being unfortunately bound by vines, becoming nourishment and turning into a withered corpse#
#The hunters assembled by Lord Wright will complete their assembly today to hunt down the underground Titans#
On the hastily written draft, I wrote down what had happened in the art capital these past few days.

“Wright, Eve…”

Lilith, the current editor of the art capital, adjusted her glasses, vaguely sensing a hint of conspiracy.

"Could it be that some extraordinary individual is trying to advance to the sixth rank?"

Lilith guessed.

This feeling inevitably reminded her of her hometown, the Witch Sea.

You should know that she was originally the chief reporter of Witch Sea, but because she spread rumors about Black Hunter and Witch in the newspaper, she had to flee to the art capital for refuge.

I heard that the Black Hunter has now advanced to the sixth rank, and she can no longer return to her hometown.

Lilith flipped through the intelligence reports from their White Dove newspaper.

Recently, many people have reported seeing some hideous and terrifying monsters in the Rhine River.

All signs indicate that, in the Canary family, besides the eldest brother Wright and the second sister Daphne, there is another hidden, mysterious, and powerful figure.

Now, many people are speculating that a new genius has emerged within the Canary family.

If she can uncover the truth, perhaps Lilith will become the new chief journalist of the art capital!
"It's time for a major investigation."

Lilith raised an eyebrow.

She donned extraordinary equipment to conceal her presence and cautiously made her way to the Rhine River docks.

Outside the dock, a large group of hunters gathered, seemingly waiting for something.

What are they waiting for?
Moreover, why does that man in the black hunter's outfit on the dock look so familiar?

Just then, a ghostly ship burning with eerie green light emerged from the crack in the lightning—

Its speed was so great that it was like a high-speed train, directly smashing the dock.

Boom boom boom!

Throughout the dock, from the dimly lit Rhine Riverbed, one after another, tentacles with bloodshot eyes crawled up.

At the bow of the ship, under the watchful eyes of many, a line of pirates in white uniforms stood, making way for a path of blazing fire.

A fifth-tier expert wearing a white hat and holding a pistol in his left hand slowly walked out.

Behind him followed a blond, fifth-tier expert.

The appearance of two fifth-tier powerhouses!

On the dock, many hunters couldn't help but look on in astonishment.

Paru lifted his captain's hat and said with a smile:

"Qi, all your pets have been transported."

The twelve touches of the deep-sea titan have also arrived... Chen Qi looked up and felt the roar of the sea beasts.

At this moment, the bottom of the Rhine River is filled with his sea monsters.

Jinli peeked out from behind Palu:
"Qi, what do you want us to do? You don't intend to do anything to the Canary family, do you?"

"Is the witch not enough for you? Do you also need to kidnap the Canary family?"

In her mind, Chen Qi was a terrifying pirate.

Jinli…Palu shook his head:
"How is that possible? Jin Li, what are you talking about?"
"Didn't you see? Qi is surrounded by members of the Canary family."

Chen Qi was surrounded by hunters of the Queen Bee.

They traveled on the Rhine with a host of terrifying sea monsters without encountering any powerful figures.

This indicates that Chen Qi has now become a high-ranking member of the Canary family.

Chen Qi thought for a moment;
"Pretty much, I really am going to give the Canary family a good beating."

"!!!"

Paru involuntarily shrank back:
"Is it too late for me to go back now?"

Attacking the Canary Clan is no different from overthrowing the royal power of the Golden Bird Kingdom!

Palu's pupils contracted.

Could it be that Chen Qi is plotting a rebellion...?

Paru said softly:

"Take it slow. Attacking the center of the kingdom right now is too difficult."

"..."

Chen Qi relayed all the events of the past few days to Paru.

Paru and his crew looked surprised after hearing this.

Their purpose in this journey was actually to go to the forbidden rift and stop a demigod from ascending to godhood.

No wonder, I recently heard that some fifth-tier powerhouses in other cities were bound by vines. So the mastermind behind it all wasn't Chen Qi and the Flower Witch... After pondering for a long time, Paru said:

"I obey your command, my beloved captain."

Without Chen Qi's help, he would not be able to dominate the seas of the Bei Kingdom and the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom.

It is even less likely that one could travel by ship to the seas beyond the edge to explore those ancient ruins.

Paru was indeed willing to join... Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief:

"Wait here for a moment. I obtained some materials to enhance my pets from the Canary family's treasury."

"About a whole one."

After saying that, Chen Qi gently moved the tentacles on his back, opening a huge box.

The moment it opened, a continuous stream of extraordinary energy surged out.

"Is this the foundation of the Canary family?"

I couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings) as I woke up this morning.

Any one of these extraordinary materials would be enough to make a fourth-tier legendary figure envious and willing to pay with their life.

The tentacles behind Chen Qi are showering a large amount of extraordinary resources into the river area in front of us!
In an instant, the Black Lantern Dragon, the Near-Sea Overlord, Water Sprite No. 3, and the Crab Legion all appeared, vying for the extraordinary resources.

Chen Qi sat on the dock, quietly waiting for their pets to eat.

Nourished by extraordinary resources, their bodies underwent rapid changes, and the entire Rhine River resembled a terrifying abyss of monsters.

If it weren't for Ifr having already dispatched troops to surround the entire river basin, it would have caused an unprecedented panic.

After a day, all of his pets had undergone some changes.

The Black Lantern Dragon's lanterns are incredibly bright, and it can easily unleash black death rays.

The coastal overlord's toughness and attack power have increased again, and even ordinary fifth-tier superhumans cannot stop it.

Each crab in the Little Red Crab Army possesses the talents of dragon agility and dragon might.

Now, united, they are capable of defeating a fifth-tier transcendent being.

Among them, the one that has been strengthened the most is Water Sprite No. 3.

Its power sublimated, truly awakening the power of a fourth-order hammer.

Although this power is only at the fourth tier, it can easily control a fifth-tier steam mech and the Nethersea Ghost.

The only pity is that the Water Sprite No. 1 and the Ember Beast are too powerful, so these resources did not play a significant role.

Not bad improvement... Chen Qi took stock of it.

Water Sprite No. 1, Black Lantern Dragon, Near-shore Overlord, Ember Beast, Water Sprite No. 3 piloting a steam-powered mech, the Little Red Crab Army...

Each of them possesses fifth-order power.

I was filled with emotion when I woke up this morning.

Before he knew it, he already had six high-level pet beasts with fifth-tier combat power.

Looking at it this way, I have a huge advantage in the forbidden rift... Chen Qi thought to himself.

Palu walks over:

"I have told the crew that they are all willing to join this rift."

"However, they asked you on my behalf, are you really not planning to replace the Queen of the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom?"

“No.” Chen Qi refused decisively.

For some reason, Palu and his crew seem to really want him to become the new emperor of the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom.

He has no desire to be enemies with the Queen right now.

Chen Qi said:

"Palu, let me test the Canary family's weapons."

He took out the three most precious treasures from the Canary family's treasury.

Between the beasts of the flowery heart type, the abyssal runes of the illusory blade type, and the moon goddess's lantern of the lamp-book type.

This is a unique item in the sixth-order rift of the Canary family.

Among them, the beast is a black and white cube that can instantly store and release pets.

At the same time, all pets that enter the Beast Realm will receive a moderate boost to Strength and Agility.

The Black Lantern Dragon, the Deep Sea Twelve Tentacles, and the Near-Sea Overlord all move relatively slowly on land.

With this beast, they can be better controlled.

The abyss pattern, on the other hand, is a special pattern.

It can be engraved on weapons and bodies, giving the weapon terrifying abyssal power.

One of the core pieces of equipment of the Morning Start, the Touch of Ember, has been severely damaged over a long period of time.

The strength of his tentacles no longer depends on the embers of the flames themselves, but on his own spiritual power.

Therefore, Chen Qi engraved the abyss patterns on the Touch of Ember, greatly enhancing the combat power of his core weapon.

Now, even without unlocking any release, his tentacles are slippery, thick, strong, and large, filled with the aura of the abyss and spiritual slime. They can also freely change size, become thick or hard, and stretch at will.

Whether for combat, torturing enemies, or other purposes, it can be used perfectly.

It can be said that his tentacles are tentacles among tentacles.

The Moon Goddess's Lantern creates a miniature moon over an extremely large area. Under the moon, allies will receive the Moon Goddess's blessing, greatly increasing their inspiration, as well as their mental resistance and healing abilities.

This is a small area-of-effect item that covers half the city; it's quite useful.

"These are all good things..." Chen Qi thought to himself.

It must be admitted that this time, the Canary family paid a heavy price to survive.

Besides him, all other members of the family also received large gifts from the family.

Eve walked over with light steps, smiling as she said:

"Brother Qi, Sister Daphne, most of the obstacles underground have been cleared. We can now proceed to the Forbidden Rift."

"We can proceed to the Forbidden Rift now..."

Chen Qi looked up and directed the group:

"Gentlemen, we can now proceed to our first outpost."

The first outpost… Palu nodded and said:

What about the reporter behind that wooden box?

From the very beginning, Paru and Chenqi noticed Lilith hiding in the shadows.

boom!
Lilith emerged from the wooden crate, her chest heaving with nervousness.
"Lord Black Hunter, it's been a long time. What happened before was my mistake, Lilith's fault..."

She never expected that the mysterious powerful figure behind the Canary family was actually the Black Hunter!

Lilith? Chen Qi thought for a moment.

This is Peilu's colleague.

He had met the other person once before.

At the same time, this reporter, Lilith, also spread rumors that he and the Flower Witch were a couple.

Furthermore, the Flower Witch enjoys using vine whips to discipline her culprit.

Because of Lilith, his reputation in the Witch Sea once plummeted.

Lilith's report is utter nonsense!

The facts are now before us!

No matter how you look at it, between him and Fen, he was the one who liked to slap people.

Although Fen has been trying to get revenge on me, I can't easily forgive Lilith... Chen Qi asked:
"Are you from the White Dove newspaper in the art capital?"

"Yes Yes!"

Lilith said.

She was just a minor second-tier superhuman, and just standing in front of Chen Qi made her feel breathless, as if she were being squeezed by terrifying tentacles of the abyss.

Chen Qi asked another question.

Although Lilith's rank is not high, she controls the newspapers of the art capital.

And this newspaper, under the management of the fifth-level messenger of the White Dove Newspaper, was beyond the control of even Eve.

Lilith shed tears:
"Lord Black Hunter, back then, I was just following the boss's orders. I slandered your and the Flower Witch's reputations for the sake of sales. I... I know I was wrong..."

Chen Qi said:

"Next, you'll stand on our side and report the news."

"If you do well, the punishment may be reduced."

"Reduce the punishment..." Lilith asked.

"What exactly is the punishment?"

"If you don't do well, the Flower Witch and I will beat you together. After all, didn't you say that we're both perverts who like to beat people?"

"..."

Lilith's eyes lit up.

How could she survive if those two people beat her?
Isn't this a reward? Eve looked on with envy.

Lilith asked cautiously:

"What if I do well?"

Chen Qi thought for a moment:
"If you do well, I'll replace you with a cute water sprite and whip you a hundred times."

"Water Sprite, whip me a hundred times!" Lilith's eyes lit up.

You should know that water sprites are incredibly cute and capable pets.

Although the Black Hunter's water sprite is somewhat different, it's still not enough to kill her!

Lilith stood at attention:

"I will handle it well! Lord Black Hunter, from now on, you are my boss!"

I, Lilith, only recognize you as my boss!

"All right……"

Chen Qi nodded.

Ever since the old grandfather got angry, vines have sprung up all over the art capital.

There was even a major earthquake.

Many fifth-order superhumans in other cities were persecuted.

Currently, public opinion in the entire art capital is extremely chaotic.

Lilith's involvement should be able to somewhat control the direction of public opinion.

We've already wasted a lot of time; it's time to set off!
Chen Qi took all the pets into the Beast Hall.

The upgraded Dark Sea Ghost, powered by the Steam Hand, now possesses powerful spatial teleportation capabilities and a robust levitation mode.

At his command, many hunters boarded the ship.

Subsequently, Water Sprite No. 3 activated the levitation capability of the Underworld Ghost, switching the entire ship into airship mode.

The Ghost Ship, engulfed in flames, rises into the skies above the art capital.

Chen Qi stood at the bow of the ship, looking back at the thousand queen bee hunters and pirates behind him:

"Everyone, come with me to the Forbidden Rift and let's wreak havoc!"
