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

Chapter 6 The Deep-Sea Hunter's Treasure!
"The crack is right in front of us, the time to get ashore has come!"
My warriors! Grab your wine and assemble on deck!

On the deck, Captain Blackeye roared at the top of his lungs, his enormous voice piercing through the entire Sawshark.

Is Captain Black Eyes really that loud...? Chen Qi got up and glanced at the ship's medical room in front of him.

The little crow got up early and was already prepared to enter the crevice.

Although she hadn't slept long, she displayed an unprecedented level of excitement.

She finished tidying up and immediately said:

"Get ready to go. Take two cans of painkillers, ten bottles of healing potions, five injections of sedatives, a bottle of sea monster oil, and bandages."

In this crack, your job is to distribute medicine to the wounded as quickly as possible.

"Ok."

Chen Qi answered excitedly.

Landing on shore was always the most exciting time for pirates.

This is also a good time to do great things!
Without hesitation, Chen Qi put the necessary items into his backpack and placed the Collector's Gun at his waist.

There was also a vial of yellow injection.

This is a powerful potion that grants self-healing and energy buffs, permanently increases constitution, and randomly increases attributes!

It's time to use it!
Chen Qi rolled up the sleeve of his right arm, gritted his teeth, slowly inserted the needle into his skin, and then pressed down hard.

The golden liquid instantly rushed into the bloodstream, igniting the extraordinary spiritual power within the body, and then rapidly permeated the entire body.

My whole body felt hot!

A reminder screen appeared before Chen Qi's eyes again.

[You have received the yellow injection and gained an energy boost buff and a gold self-healing buff, which lasts for approximately 24 hours.]

Energy Boost: Your stamina is greatly enhanced, and you gain a temporary +3 Agility and a temporary +3 Strength.

Golden Self-Healing: During its duration, it consumes the body's extraordinary potions to heal external injuries.

Your constitution has been permanently increased by 5 points, and your strength by 1 point.

Suddenly, Chen Qi felt as if he had inexhaustible energy.

Five points in Constitution is already a considerable amount of attribute; even some Tier 5 extraordinary professions don't offer much of a bonus.

Normally, yellow needles tend to increase major attributes while decreasing others. For example, if you want to increase your constitution by 5 points, you will usually lose 1 point of agility.

There was no decrease in attributes; on the contrary, it increased strength, which is already a pretty lucky bonus.

Of course, this could be thanks to the 'improved potion'.

Cool!
Physical constitution represents defense and endurance. Chen Qi took a deep breath, feeling every inch of his body.

Now, he no longer has to worry about being killed by a single punch from an ordinary pirate of the Black Whale Gang; he'll get at least two punches.

Even without extraordinary skills, this attribute value alone is enough for him to complete many dangerous battles in the early stages and beat up the monsters in the beginner village.

Unfortunately, this happened on the Black Whale Pirates' ship.

"how?"

The little crow asked curiously, after all, this was a product she had painstakingly improved.

"It's pretty good. It feels even more effective than the yellow needle I've heard about. If this injection can be patented, it will definitely make a lot of money."

Patents aren't so easy to apply for... The little crow adjusted her mask. Although her new subordinate was praising her and seemed rather foolish, he always managed to hit a nerve with her.

The little crow carried the medicine box on its back:

"Let's go. Follow me to the deck to assemble. That old bastard Black Eyes always has to drink and give a speech before entering the rift."

"By the way, don't tell the captain about me giving you the yellow needle. That guy's wanted it for ages."

"Don't tell...the captain?"

Chen Qi looked puzzled.

Generally speaking, the captain is the person with the highest power and status.

The little crow gritted its teeth and clenched its little fists:
"Yes...that guy always likes to write 'gold coin IOUs' and then use them to take other people's things."

The kind of loan that's never repaid.

He now owes me fifty gold coins! That's three vials of extraordinary injections!

In short, while you need to maintain the proper respect for the captain, it's best not to take his words too seriously.

As the little crow spoke, it swung its right fist into the air a few times.

"Um……"

Chen Qi nodded gently.

The moment he saw Captain Blackeye, he thought he looked a lot like the boss of a ruthless company.

I never expected they would even dare to swindle money from the ship's doctor!
No wonder he's a captain.

Chen Qi followed the little crow through the corridor, across the steps, and onto the deck.

The dazzling light shone on his face.

I came into this world and saw the sunlight for the first time...

Chen Qi raised his hand to shield his eyes from the sunlight, looked up at the sky, and could not hide the shock in his heart.

A huge white sun burned fiercely, illuminating the world.

He suddenly remembered Shinri's promotional video.

The old sun has fallen, and the new sun sustains the last vestiges of human civilization, which is why this era is called the New Era.

The fresh sunlight was quite comfortable... Chen Qi shook his head, then smiled, and followed the little crow towards the crowd.

On the deck, all the pirates of the Sawshark had arrived.

At the same time, the slaves on the ship were also pulled out.

They formed a large circle, with the people of higher status standing at the front.

And in the center of the large circle is the captain of the Sawshark—Captain Blackeye!
Chen Qi followed the little crow through the crowd.

Captain Blackeye was drinking a bottle of rum, humming a pirate song from the high seas: "Hmph hmph hmph~"
We are pirates, bottles in our left hands, scimitars in our right, filling chests of the dead with gold, filling chests of the dead with gold! Filling chests of the dead!

"What kind of dark ballad is this..." Chen Qi thought to himself, adding that the hoarse male voice of Captain Black Eyes made it sound like the terrifying whispers of a sea monster.

Captain Blackeye saw the little crow and immediately stopped singing.

"Little Crow, our ship's best doctor, you've finally arrived!"
"Are the sea monsters we need to enter the rift ready?"

The little crow raised its head and said seriously:

"My new talent for getting things done is pretty good; you did a great job and saved me a lot of work. The parasitic sea monsters I needed are ready."
Alright, enough talk, get to the point.

"The information about the rift, and our objective... this isn't just an ordinary treasure hunt, Captain."

"You have good talent, Little Raven. This is the first time I've heard you praise your skills. Our Sawshark is in dire need of talent right now."

Captain Black Eyes glanced at Chen Qi with his pure black eyes, then suddenly drew his jet-black sword and shouted:
"Gentlemen, due to instructions from above, we must prevent other pirate groups from interfering with the Black Whale Gang's affairs."

I haven't told you the real objective of this operation, that treasure more precious than tons of gold! Even more precious than a legendary professional card!

Now that the cracks are right in front of us, it's time to speak out!

The real target... Chen Qi was slightly startled.

Normally, captains don't hide their objectives from their crews unless it's something extremely valuable.

Something so precious that it must be kept hidden.

The pirates looked at each other in bewilderment; it seemed that Captain Blackeye was hiding something important from them!
"Captain, something more precious than tons of gold, could it be Blackbeard's shipwreck?"
I heard that Blackbeard's shipwreck contained over ten tons of gold.

"Blackbeard! Captain, have you really found the shipwreck of such a big shot?"

The pirates immediately started jeering; they were all people who craved treasure.

"No no no!"

Captain Blackeye shook his head, denying everyone's guess.
"It is an ancient treasure left behind by someone even more famous than Blackbeard, and it is the location of the treasure that our great captain found."

The Deep-Sea Hunter's Treasure!!

After saying that, Captain Black Eyes downed the wine in one gulp.

A tremendous sound suddenly erupted from the entire ship.

Deep-sea hunter! Chen Qi swallowed a mouthful of water.

He is neither a player who meticulously studies the storyline nor a player from the Witch Sea region.

However, he was still deeply impressed by the Deep Sea Hunter!

This is a title for a legendary hunter. Both the Deep Sea Hunter and the Black Whale Pirate Crew are characters related to the main storyline of the Witch Sea region.

The Deep Sea Hunter is incredibly powerful. In the legends of the Witch Sea region, he is the only person, after the death of a witch, to hunt down a giant deep-sea whale.

Unlike most legends, the Deepsea Hunter, having been stained with the blood of monsters while battling the deep sea, had no offspring and no apprentices.

On the contrary, he was feared by the world.

Legend has it that after his death, he divided his treasure into several parts and buried them in a hidden place in the sea, leaving them to courageous adventurers.

However, the Deepsea Hunter is too far removed from the present era, so far removed that most pirates no longer pursue his treasure, and so far removed that people doubt its authenticity.

The treasure of the deep-sea hunters is real... Chen Qi is absolutely certain of it.

He had seen it on game forums; the treasures and weapons associated with it were all top-tier artifacts.

The treasures he left behind have sold for terrifyingly high prices on gaming forums.

The pirates were thrown into chaos; this was undoubtedly earth-shattering news.

The little crow asked worriedly:

"Captain, is it really the treasure of the deep-sea hunters?"

While Chen Qi was excited, he also felt worried.

As a legendary hunter, the Deepsea Hunter's treasure is not so easy to obtain!
Other pirates also raised questions.

"Of course! This information was obtained by our great captain: the treasure of the deep-sea hunters is right behind us!"

Captain Black Eyes turned around.

As the Sawshark slowed down, a small, desolate island gradually came into view.

On the island, a huge crack, like the gaping maw of a monster, exudes a dark and terrifying aura.

That was their destination—the sea monster cave rift!
At that moment, Captain Black Eyes took one last greedy look at the slaves.

There were also more than forty slaves on this ship.

He drew his precious sword and addressed the slaves:
"Under normal circumstances, once you arrive in the city, you will be sold and become toys in the games of those shameless nobles!"
There will never be a day when they can turn things around!
However, now there is an opportunity for you: to show your courage in the cracks!
If you have enough courage, you can make a difference in the cracks!
I will grant you your freedom, and I will also give you five gold coins!

Upon hearing Captain Blackeye's words, some of the slaves' eyes lit up.

These slaves were all cannon fodder used by Captain Blackeye to clear the rift.

Finally, Captain Blackeye looked in the direction of Chen Qi and the pirates:
"The treasure of the deep-sea hunters will determine the future of our Black Whale Gang!"

If we find the treasure, everyone who participates will be rewarded with fifty gold coins!
In addition, depending on their merits, they will also receive extraordinary favors personally bestowed by our commander!

In this extraordinary world, extraordinary power is closely linked to status.

Fifty gold coins is a huge sum of money. These two rewards could change not only an individual's fate, but even the fate of a family!

boom--

The Sawshark stopped in front of the island.

At that moment, Captain Blackeye turned around, his eyes filled with boundless greed.

"Hahahahaha!"

He laughed loudly and opened his arms.
"Everyone! Enough of the small talk!"

After all, glory and gold are right before our eyes!

Then he leaped forward and stepped onto the crevice.

"Everyone, follow me into the rift!"
