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

Chapter 65: Boat racing at sea
The sky darkened, as if a huge black curtain had pressed down on it.

On the gloomy sea, the massive Black Rabbit relentlessly pursued the small houseboat.

On the steam-powered ironclad ship Black Rabbit.

On the bow of the ship, the tattooed bald man laughed loudly, spread his arms, and said to the leader of the Black Rabbit Gang:

"How was it? Feeling great, right? The feeling of the wind blowing on the ocean!"
However, I never expected that an ironclad ship would give its first time to a small cook's boat. Isn't this a typical case of the big bullying the small?

Even if we rob them, it'll only be 500,000 shell coins!

The bald man on the Black Rabbit was a member of the Black Whale Gang, and also an 'expert' sent by the Black Whale Gang to guide the Black Rabbit Gang's sea voyages.

Black Rabbit lit a cigarette and leaned against the railing.

"Five hundred thousand shells? You underestimate the people we're chasing."

You've also overlooked the price of an exceptional chef, who can easily fetch at least three million coins.

If the other party has practiced body-strengthening techniques, the price can double.

"Underestimate? You're questioning my judgment! I'd love for him to get as fat as possible!"

The bald man had a fiery temper and said irritably.

Black Rabbit frowned, picked up his binoculars, and looked at the small houseboat in the distance.

They've been chasing them for a while now.

However, the small houseboat maintained a safe distance from the Black Rabbit at all times.

Black Rabbit questioned:
"Didn't you say we could catch up with him in ten minutes?"

"This little boat is pretty fast..." the bald man shouted.
"I'm a professional, I won't get lost. This small boat is pretty well equipped."

Don't worry, this little boat can't maintain its speed for too long. As long as we keep chasing it, we'll catch up with it sooner or later!

"I love watching these little boats escape!"

The bald man explained, then loudly commanded:
"Add coal to the boiler! Then activate superheat mode!"

With a loud roar from the bald man, the ironclad ship roared like an unprecedentedly powerful iron bull going berserk!

Pursue! Pursue with all your might!
As expected, with all firepower at its peak, the distance between the Black Rabbit and the small houseboat quickly closed.

Then, a minute later, they were pulled apart again.

"..."

Black Rabbit rolled her eyes at the bald man:
"Is this your full power? Are you sure you can handle it?"

The bald man's face immediately turned bright red, and he cursed:
"Why are you in such a hurry! Are you the expert, or am I the expert?!"

Black Rabbit shook his head.

The Black Rabbit is far too slow!
The small houseboat's engine is a product of Steam Hands, and in overclocking mode, its speed can be increased even further.

With the Deep Sea Sprite booster, it can fly!

Unless it's a military vessel produced by a large-scale industrial company, catching up with his small houseboat is by no means an easy task.

If Chen Qi wanted to, he could easily shake off the Black Rabbit.

On the vast ocean, the two raced each other relentlessly!

The bald man kept shouting:

"Chase them! Chase them! Chase them with all your might!"

However, this shouting was useless.

Whenever there was hope for the Black Rabbit, the small houseboat would speed up.

The distance between the two always remained a subtle one.

And so, the two sides continued for a full hour.

Tick ​​tock!

Raindrops hit the black rabbit's face.

Black Rabbit wiped the rain off his face and asked:
"Hey, Black Whale Gang, is it possible for the two ships to be at such similar speeds?"

The two ships can maintain this distance for an hour.

Black Rabbit's intuition, honed from years of experience in gangs, told him that this was too much of a coincidence.

The black rabbit couldn't help but recall the scene where they used bunny girls to fish.

Always keep the alluring bunny girl at a distance from the other person, then lead them to a dark corner.

The bald man gripped his chin with his hand:

"You mean he's seducing us? Are you out of your mind?"

"I'm just making a reasonable guess with a low probability."

"Shut up! Guess where your mother is? Are you the expert, or am I the expert!"
Let me tell you, some small boats are equipped with special engines that have an overheating mode that can temporarily increase the boat's speed!

The small boat's speed varies, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and that's precisely why!

After explaining, the bald man smiled:

"However, this overheating mode is ultimately limited and cannot be used continuously. Didn't you see that the other side's small boat is already shaking? We're about to catch up."

Black Rabbit frowned and looked into the distance.

As the bald man said, the speed of the small houseboat was constantly decreasing.

The distance between their Black Rabbit and the small houseboat is constantly closing!

"Is this what a professional is like...?" Black Rabbit was slightly surprised.

Seeing this, the bald man proudly revealed his teeth, which were tattooed with a black whale:

"Just learn it!"

Immediately afterwards, the bald man issued another order for the Black Rabbit to slow down.

He said leisurely:

“We’re about to catch up! How should we split it? I want 30% of this person’s assets, including the value of his servitude.”

"By the way, would you like me to explain the rules for distributing items in our Black Whale Gang?"

"They haven't even caught them yet, and they're already dividing up the loot?"

Black Rabbit changed the subject.

According to his speculation, the value of Chenqi far exceeds his imagination.

Moreover, the other party just shouted on the ship and actually wanted to take 30%!

The bald man clenched his fist:

"Didn't catch him? Facing one of our ironclad ships and over fifty brothers, what can he do? So, thirty percent, do you accept?"

"Let's see what he has before we say anything..."

Black Rabbit frowned.

He looked around and saw some protruding white branches on the sea.

At this moment, the small houseboat slowed down more and more, and finally came to a stop.

The bald man raised his hand:
"Slow down! You bastards from the Black Rabbit Gang, come to the bow, let me show you what pirates are all about!"

Rumble!
With a loud bang, the Black Rabbit stopped next to the houseboat, its bow facing the houseboat.

At this moment, Chen Qi walked out of the boathouse, raised his head, and looked at the people on the bow of the steam-powered ironclad ship.

The road ahead is a land of white trees; we cannot proceed any further.

However, the Black Rabbit was slower than he had expected, and he had to slow down several times along the way.

We almost lost them!
The members of the Black Rabbit Gang walked to the bow of the ship, their eyes filled with ferocity.

"Regulator, did you kill Scarface Rabbit?!"

"You made us chase you for so long! You have to pay for this in blood today!" Bang!
Out of anger, someone fired a shot at dawn.

Chen Qi carried the fishing rod in his right hand and held the black knife in his left, without dodging.

With the dynamic vision of the Hunter's Eye, he can clearly predict the trajectory of a bullet.

He knew the shot had gone astray the moment the other person fired.

"Quiet! What are you doing? Didn't your boss teach you any manners?!"

At that moment, the bald man at the head of the group shouted loudly.

Instantly, the entire Black Rabbit fell silent.

The bald man was a professional hired by the Black Whale Gang, and also a powerful second-tier superhuman.

The bald man smiled, revealing teeth engraved with a black whale pattern:

"Let me introduce myself. I'm from the Black Whale Gang, Little Chef. You're quite brave! You didn't even flinch when you saw bullets!"

I admire you as a warrior. Our Black Whale Gang is about to become the true emperor of the Witch Sea, and it is time for us to make our move!

How about it? You hand over some items, and we'll consider our grudges settled. We can even let you join our Black Whale Gang's new ship—the Black Rabbit!

"It's all wiped clean..." Upon hearing this, Black Rabbit frowned instantly.

They had long ago, in order to avenge their brothers, pinned the deaths of Scarface Rabbit and others at the hunting grounds on the other side.

If Chen Qi were to join their Black Rabbit, it would inevitably cause strong dissatisfaction among the brothers! It might even lead to a mutiny on the ship!

Black Rabbit was about to speak when she interrupted the bald man.

Just then, the bald man patted his butt.

"!"

Black Rabbit immediately understood that the Black Whale Gang didn't actually want him to join the Black Rabbit; it was just a prank to tease him.

Giving hope to the enemy, and then giving them despair—this is the perverse pleasure of pirates who have long lived on the high seas.

Chen Qi asked:

"If I give you things, will you join me?"

"Yes, consider it a membership fee. We value your talent."

"This is my most expensive possession."

Chen Qi glanced at the fishing rod with feigned reluctance, then suddenly exerted his muscles and tossed the rod to the other person.

This is a limited-edition fishing rod that Captain Black-Eyed saved up by withholding wages from his crew. It's extremely expensive! It might even cost over 200,000 shell coins!

The bald man took the fishing rod and examined it carefully.

Just as he had imagined, the other party did not have any intention of resisting in this situation and behaved very obediently!
What a good thing!

It is indeed a brand-name product.

However, why is there a strange bait on this fishing rod?

This bait seems to be a product of spiritual energy.

The bald man asked with a smile:

"what is this?"

Chen Qi calmly replied:
"The ultimate bait for fishing, I'm just getting ready to fish."

"Fishing at this time of year, you're quite humorous..." the bald man asked with a smile.
What are you fishing for?

"Black Ship Sea Dragon".

Tick-tock! Tick-tock!

The sea breeze blew, and raindrops kept hitting everyone's faces.

In that instant, the entire Black Rabbit fell into an indescribable silence, a deathly silence.

The smiles and expressions of hatred on everyone's faces froze in that instant.

The bald man swallowed a mouthful of water.

Black Ship Sea Dragon is the scientific name for a near-shore predator.

This is a joke.

It must be a joke!

Logically speaking, they shouldn't be so quiet.

boom!
The silence was broken by a clap of thunder.

The black rabbit pricked up its ears and instinctively stepped back to the side.

Why did everyone fall silent?

The bald man caught his breath. He was now standing on an ironclad ship, and there was no reason for him to feel any fear.

He should continue teasing the other person.

The bald man calmed down and touched the fishing rod with his hand:

"This fishing rod is nice, but it's still not enough as a membership fee."

"Isn't it enough?"

Chen Qi raised his head, silently picked up the black knife, and assumed a fighting stance.

"Dare to attack us..." The bald man immediately revealed a fierce look in his eyes:

"What's wrong? Do you want to resist?"

"Yes, and by the way, I'd like to remind you that the fish has taken the bait."

"The fish has taken the bait!?"

The bald man didn't quite understand at first. Seeing that Chen Qi didn't stop, he picked up his shotgun, ready to shoot Chen Qi in the chest.

"You're asking for it..."

boom!
In an instant, a gigantic figure burst out of the sea at an unimaginable speed and rushed toward the extraordinary bait!
The shadowy figure resembled a small, pitch-black mountain.

boom! boom! boom!
The steel hull of the ironclad ship crumbled like tofu in an instant.

A terrifying gash suddenly appeared on the steel bow of the ship.

The bald man who was just about to launch an attack, the strongest man on the Black Rabbit, was also sent flying into the air by the impact, before crashing down, his flesh mangled and bloody.

what happened?

Everyone panicked; they had never seen such a terrifying creature.

Its scales shimmered with a cold, eerie luster, like metal corroded by darkness, exuding a suffocating chill.

The dark shape bent down, bit off the bait that had fallen onto the boat, then raised its massive head and opened its enormous mouth.

The monster's eyes, like copper bells, seemed to burn with hellfire.

Roar!
The bloody mouth opened!

A deafening roar shattered the silence of the sea!

The crew of the Black Rabbit Gang had not received professional training. Faced with large sea monsters, their instinctive fear caused their hearts to race and their hearts to race.

However, there was no land on the steamship that allowed them to escape.

People kept backing away, gathering into a small group at the side of the boat.

The shadowy figure opened its terrifying, blood-red maw.

Everyone on the ship became aware of what was happening before them.

It is the legendary overlord of the near seas...
