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

Chapter 82 Headless Skull
Crunch!

New cracks kept appearing in the headless skull's bones, which, driven by the tentacled garment, came towards him like a battle-hardened hunter.

His walking posture, the way he held his sword, and the way he swung the sword all reminded everyone of the legendary deep-sea hunter.

A chill permeated the place.

The group has already paid too high a price in their fierce battle against the fire dragon.

The skeletal form was so terrifying that many people, like birds startled by gunfire, ran down the mountain without a care.

Dangdang Dangdang!
Before they knew it, after a series of battles, only Chen Qi and some mangled corpses remained in this place.

"This is not a deep-sea hunter, it's just a piece of clothing, a flesh-and-blood bio-suit..."

Chen Qi kept emphasizing in his heart, "Drink a bottle of potent healing potion."

You have gained a temporary boost to your stamina and strength.

Within the black market, there are three rather famous types of equipment: mechanical armor, blood armor, and flesh armor.

Among them, flesh and blood armor often refers to equipment made from materials from extraordinary monsters.

Unlike ordinary equipment, flesh and blood armor retains a large number of extraordinary characteristics during its creation.

This greatly enhances the equipment's extraordinary power.

However, as a price, the user's mind will be severely affected by the extraordinary properties. Long-term use will cause serious mental effects, or even distortion.

If mechanical armor has a huge impact on the physical body, then flesh-and-blood armor has a serious impact on the mind.

Some of the flesh-and-blood implants also possess a certain degree of autonomous combat capability.

The equipment used by deep-sea hunters also has this function.

The current situation should be the automatic combat function of the flesh and blood armor.

Although this is not a deep-sea hunter, but merely a mindless suit of clothing, there is no doubt that it is a rather formidable opponent.

"Can you win?"

Chen Qi broke out in a cold sweat as he activated the dynamic vision of the Hunter's Eye.

Still things gradually become blurry, while fast-moving things become clearer.

The headless skeleton gripped its blood-stained greatsword, took a step forward, and swung it down in his direction.

You can see it clearly!
Chen Qi used his left foot as the center point and turned to the side to dodge.

The opponent was very fast, but the Hunter's Eye could still detect the trajectory of the blade.

After absorbing the Hunter's Ember, he mastered many of the Deepsea Hunter's combat techniques.

The way the skeleton in front of me wielded its sword was very similar to the knowledge I had gleaned from the embers.

His opponent's moves were all within his expectations.

Moreover, he could barely keep up with the speed.

"Deep Sea Spirit, Water Bomb!"

Chen Qi gave the order.

The seven trembling deep-sea spirits beside him, with expressions of facing certain death, suddenly charged towards the headless skull.

boom! boom!
The deep-sea spirit used a water blast, creating a massive explosion around it.

boom!
With no room to dodge, the headless skeleton shuddered violently under the impact of the explosion, making a creaking sound like a stuck, rusty gear.

"Exceptional results..."

Chen Qi swallowed a mouthful of water, and his tense mood eased.

Following the impact of the explosion, the headless skull's arm snapped with a cracking sound, and its attacks began to visibly slow down.

The monster before him was not as powerful as he had imagined.

Like the automatic mode of the mechanical armor, it is simply an unconscious entity with a single and limited attack method.

As long as he understands the opponent's patterns, he is fully capable of withstanding the attack at hand.

If an ordinary person wore this equipment, they would be much more difficult to deal with.

But now, this decaying skeleton is no longer able to withstand the equipment.

Chen Qi adjusted his breathing, preparing for a counterattack, and concentrated his energy on the black blade.

The tentacles suddenly wrapped around the skeleton's hand bones, and it unleashed another series of ferocious greatsword slashes.

Clang, clang, clang!
The heavy clanging of metal echoed continuously in the air. It was predictable!

Chen Qi unleashed his power, using his black blade to continuously defend himself.

Under continuous resistance, more and more cracks appeared on the skeleton's arms, and its attacks became weaker and weaker.

In the instant of resistance, under dynamic vision, Chen Qi spotted a dim, dark blue, prismatic gemstone at the center of the inside of the clothing.

This might be the core of the equipment; attacking that gem might disable the attack mode of the Tentacle Garment.

Bounce back!

After a loud metallic clang, Chen Qi seized the opportunity and skillfully deflected the headless skull's greatsword with his black blade.

boom!
The greatsword fell to the ground.

The headless skull's sword-wielding hand bones were broken, and it was like a broken doll, unsteady and about to fall.

good chance!
Without hesitation, Chen Qi gripped the black blade with both hands, stepped forward, and slashed at the blue gem inside his clothes.

However, just as the headless skull was about to be struck...

Eight translucent blue tentacles suddenly sprouted from the inside of the clothes.

Immediately afterwards, the tentacles burst into blue flames, and the whole shape resembled a blooming flower of fire.

Eight translucent, burning tentacles slammed into him like eight ferocious punches.

The attack was so sudden that I could only muster my strength and bend my arm to block.

boom!
Chen Qi's body was jolted backward, drawing a straight line.

pain!
The sound of bones breaking, along with a strong feeling of nausea and dizziness.

He couldn't fall... Chen Qi gritted his teeth subconsciously, then dropped the black knife and took out the two pistols he had placed at his waist.

The eight nearly two-meter-thick, semi-transparent tentacles lasted only for a moment.

It was now unable to dodge the gunfire... Despite the intense pain and dizziness, Chen Qi aimed at the center of the skull and pulled the trigger.

boom!boom!
Two sharp gunshots rang out, and two fresh bullet holes appeared on the rotting skeleton.

It finally couldn't take it anymore and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Qi staggered forward a step, aimed at the gem inside his clothes, and fired three more shots.

Finally, under this shot, the tentacled garment stopped moving, and the entire skeleton fell backward, turning into white powder.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Chen Qi was panting heavily, without moving the gun away, just like a well-trained police officer.

Three minutes later, after confirming that the clothing would no longer exhibit strong aggression, he sat down abruptly, picked up the water bottle, and took a sip.

Fortunately, the headless skeleton's body couldn't withstand the power of the clothing.

Otherwise, this battle could even threaten his life.

"Huh, huh..."

Chen Qi was panting heavily as he felt the power of the medicine slowly seep into his body.

He suffered severe internal injuries, but fortunately, he managed to block them with his strength, preventing them from becoming fatal.

"We're going to have to spend some money on medical treatment..." Chen Qi stared blankly around.

Scattered sparks, discarded bullet casings, scorched ground, several burnt corpses, and a sleeping female Rathalos.

"We're safe for now..."

Chen Qi looked around and realized that he was the only one left in this bustling place.

Everyone else either runs or dies.

The fire dragon fell asleep, and the tentacled garment stopped moving.

Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief and used the black knife to poke the blue gem in the center of the inside of the tentacle garment.

The tentacles continued to shrink, as if the entire garment was being drawn in by a tremendous suction force and absorbed into the sapphire, becoming a small model within the gem.

"Is this the normal form of this garment?"

Chen Qi carefully picked up the gemstone, and a special prompt appeared before his eyes.
