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

Chapter 86 Black Earth

The Flower Witch paced back and forth on the ship, agonizing over her decision for a long time:
"A fertile land. I remember my teacher telling me that it's called black soil, a good place to cultivate medicinal herbs and grow vegetables."

"Black soil?"

Chen Qi was slightly startled.

The black soil is said to be the masterpiece of the Flower Witch.

He remembered that, according to legend, the Flower Witch buried the bodies of 100,000 soldiers here, in a wasteland destroyed by a giant whale.

Chen Qi shrugged and said:
"Can we really go to this place? Won't something bad happen?"

Several thoughtful little flowers sprouted from the top of the Flower Witch's head:
"There shouldn't be any problems. I lived there during my childhood."

The only danger, I suppose, lies in the strange, monstrous sea creatures that inhabit that area.

"Some sea creatures..."

Chen Qi immediately perked up and looked again at the large expanse of black on the nautical chart.

He is, after all, someone destined to roam this vast ocean.

It's just a dark, forbidden place near the sea.

Besides, this is also the home of the Flower Witch.

Just go!
Filled with curiosity, Chen Qi walked to the control panel and started the small boat's engine.

Rumble!
The small boat sailed towards the forbidden land.

Just as the small boat was sailing away, seven deep-sea spirits suddenly rushed wildly through the sea.

Oh no… Chen Qi touched his slightly feverish forehead, almost forgetting about the deep-sea sprites in the water.

Bang bang bang!
Seven deep-sea spirits, like men chasing after their departing girlfriends, jumped onto the small boat.

"Waaaaah!"

The deep-sea spirits cried out in terror, almost thinking they had been abandoned by their owner.

I do have a fever... Chen Qi picked up a water sprite and squeezed it.

"This is?"

Several small yellow flowers sprouted from the top of the Flower Witch's head, and a hint of envy flickered in her eyes beneath the flowers.

Chen Qi touched the deep-sea sprite; it was soft.

"Water Sprite, my little pet, is quite comfortable."

The Golden Flower Bird Kingdom is a land of beast tamers, so for the Flower Witch, pet beasts shouldn't be rare.

In many wealthy households, cats and dogs are kept in large groups.

The Flower Witch is one of the most powerful nobles in the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom.

However, to Chen Qi's surprise, a sad little blue flower appeared on the Flower Witch's head, and he suddenly felt that her journey was very sad.

Why do you not only have a boat, but also a small pet?
Much of human suffering stems from comparison.

The Flower Witch swallowed a mouthful of water, hesitated for a long time, and then coughed twice:
"May I touch it? I have a unique technique."

"can."

The Flower Witch spreads her arms wide, and because she smells of flowers, she seems to be quite popular with pets.

Unfortunately, the deep-sea water sprite trembled slightly, showing some fear, and huddled in the corner of the room.

This little guy is quite shy... Chen Qi walked to the control panel:
"If you find the chair uncomfortable, you can use a water sprite as a cushion."

"...?"

The deep-sea spirit was immediately startled.

After Chen Qi finished speaking, he took another sip of water and then focused on piloting the small houseboat.

……

……

The moon set, and the small houseboat drifted alone on the sea, which appeared exceptionally quiet.

Under the ship's lanterns, the Flower Witch sat in a chair, holding a pestle, and performed the simplest processing on the herbs she had gathered on Flower Island.

Meanwhile, the deep-sea sea sprites ran away from the flower witch's embrace and bumped into each other on the bed.

"White mist, the whispers of the night."

Chen Qi cautiously observed the scene outside the ship.

Unlike previous voyages, this time they were heading to a truly forbidden sea. The slightest carelessness could result in their bodies sinking into the ocean and becoming a sacrifice to the sea goddess.

Now, they are approaching the forbidden Black Earth.

Focus your attention when you wake up in the morning.

Unfortunately, the small boat had a cramped room, a very basic control panel, and no instruments to monitor the surroundings in real time. Some dark, distorted shadows passed by underwater.

At this moment, the Flower Witch got up, preparing to soothe Chen Qi's fear:

"Don't worry, the creatures under the ship are Blackbeard, a type of sea beast that fears light. They dare not approach places with light."

The ship slowed down at dawn:

"I'll be careful. Should we open it that way?"

Before them lay a vast, pitch-black island, from which a great deal of black energy emanated, as if it were alive.

On the island, numerous cracks can be seen, as if it had been cleaved into many pieces by a god with a blood-red axe.

To enter the interior of this dark island, one must drive inward along these narrow fissures.

The Flower Witch leaned against the ship's window and pointed:
"The widest entrance is here; drive this way."

"By the way, Mr. Chef, what's coming next is a little scary, but please don't be afraid, they won't hurt you."

"What are they?"

Chen Qi suddenly felt a surge of excitement!
Although sea monsters are terrifying.

Fortunately, he's a man who's seen it all, and even if Godzilla came, he could remain calm.

The bright little houseboat passed through the narrow opening and moved inward.

Just then, Chen Qi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Above these dark lands, large amounts of black vapor rise, and some faint black tendrils hang down in the water.

On these black tentacles, you can also see some broken knives.

These knives showed no signs of decay.

Has anyone been to this place recently? Chen Qi wondered to himself.

"Shh, don't worry, Blackbeards are afraid of light. As long as you don't get close to them, they won't move..."

The Flower Witch made a soft movement.

However, to her surprise, Blackbeard slowly raised his head and twisted toward them, trying to get closer!

If it weren't for the fact that these black whiskers were too short and afraid of light, this little houseboat would have met with disaster.

"Why? With my abilities, this shouldn't be the case."

The Flower Witch crossed her arms, lowered her head, and fell into deep thought.

She understood something, and said in a voice tinged with maternal affection:
“Master Chef, Blackbeard attacks weak creatures and uses them as food. Your spiritual field is too weak, so they have targeted you.”

"Don't worry, even if they attack together, as long as I'm here, they won't be able to hurt a single hair on my head."

The weak, like fish, become prey for the Blackbeard.

The Flower Witch patted her chest, displaying the demeanor of a caring older sister looking after her younger brother.

This is the sense of security that comes from powerful superhumans!
"Um……"

Chen Qi hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back.

No, they just came over, probably just wanting to say hello and give him a hug.

Of course, Blackbeard is very friendly.

But Chen Qi wasn't interested in the ugly 'black beard' either.

Chen Qi has now seen many sea creatures and has strict requirements for them.

What he most wanted to encounter was a sea monster that could easily and repeatedly fleece people.

For example, the will-o'-the-wisp fish.

If all else fails, at least be as good-looking as the Black Ship Sea Dragon.

After observing for a while, Chen Qi could vaguely see some broken weapons under the protection of Blackbeard.

Not only that, there also seemed to be some small sea creatures.

Unfortunately, the Flower Witch is on the ship now, so he can't make a move.

Illuminated by its ship's lights, the small houseboat glided through the black-bearded land, slowly venturing deeper into the island's heart.

The ship stopped at dawn.

An entrance to a wormhole appeared before him.

It is very similar to the entrance of an E-class crack.

The Flower Witch gazed at the door and seemed to see her weakened self from over ten years ago.

She has arrived at her home.
