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

Chapter 331 The Merchant and the 'Hand of the Abyss'

"Deep, sea, hunter..."

The little crow spoke the prompt before it, word by word, and raised its head in alarm.

Why was she marked by the legendary deep-sea hunter?
According to legend, once marked by a deep-sea hunter, the consequences are unimaginable.

According to legend, anyone marked will surely die no matter how much they struggle.

Even the mutated Lord of Moonstone City, who hid beneath the underwater prison, could not escape the pursuit of the deep-sea hunters!

For a moment, the little crow seemed to see the deep-sea hunter right in front of her, gripping her neck.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

The little crow gasped for breath, clutching her neck; for a moment, she couldn't even breathe normally.

"Deep Sea, Hunter!"

The Dragon Master raised his hand, and he felt the same prompt!
However, compared to the fearful little crow, the Dragon Master Jay's eyes were filled with more anger and excitement!

"Deep Sea Hunter?"

The outsider, the Blood Demon Doctor, licked his lips and said:
"What happened? Were you marked by the hunters?"

How to Train Your Dragon Jay turned his head, his golden dragon eyes filled with rage:
"Yes, a foolish hunter who overestimates his abilities!"

"That's no ordinary hunter, that's a deep-sea hunter..."

The little crow took a deep breath.

How to Train Your Dragon Jay explained:

"No, not the legendary Deep Sea Hunter. As expected, this Deep Sea Hunter is just an arrogant black hunter!"

The Dragon Tamer Jay could not forget his defeat; he lost to the combined forces of the Black Hunter and the Flower Witch.

This is a lifelong disgrace for the Dragon Master!

That's why, after his 'defeat,' he was mocked by the Black Death Doctor and sent here to work as a bodyguard.

"The Black...the Black Hunter? He...he's already a legend?"

The little crow asked in surprise.

She vaguely remembered that not long ago, Black Hunter was just a special superhuman who was active in the coastal waters and defeated ghost ships. In terms of reputation, he was not even as famous as her!

How to Train Your Dragon Jay nodded:
"Yes, within the Black Whale Gang, there has always been an ancient treasure legend: in the shallows of the Misty Sea, in a land of hope, lies the treasure of the deep-sea hunters..."

"Just recently, the people from the Bei Kingdom Meteorological Bureau encountered the Black Hunter in the Misty Sea, and the Black Hunter's aura had already reached the fourth level."

Adding to the fact that there's the Deep Sea Hunter's treasure on Blue Fire Island, the Black Hunter has a very good chance of obtaining that treasure and forging a legend!

A Deepsea Hunter's class card! The little crow's beak gaped slightly, unable to hide its surprise.

This legendary class card has actually reappeared!
But why would a black hunter hunt her?

She's just a pathetic third-tier worm!
"Why does the Black Hunter want to hunt me? I haven't offended him, I haven't even insulted him, and I've even praised him..."

The little crow said with a hint of grievance.

Previously, she had speculated that Chef Qi and Black Hunter were the same person, but now it seems that Black Hunter is just a ruthless upgrade machine on the high seas!

And now, she, this frail test subject, has been hunted!

The little crow hugged itself tightly.

The Blood Demon Doctor stepped forward:

"No, Dr. Raven, don't underestimate yourself."

Believe in your efforts and talents! You deserve to be hunted!
If you work even harder, you might even be hunted by witches and hunters alike!

After saying that, the Blood Demon Doctor stretched out his hand, revealing his white teeth, and gave the little crow a thumbs up!

Me, a Tier 3, being hunted by witches and hunters? The little raven resisted the urge to punch the Blood Demon Doctor, after all, she couldn't win.

But she also discerned some truths from the reactions of the Blood Demon Doctor and the Dragon Master.

Neither Dragon Master Jay nor Blood Demon Doctor took the Black Hunter seriously!
That makes sense, after all, the witch and the hunter are only newly promoted to legendary status... The little raven breathed a sigh of relief.

With the Blood Demon Doctor and the Dragon King as two walls, plus the defensive measures here, I should be fine... the little raven thought to itself.

Although she hated these two guys, at this moment, as an undercover agent, she could only hide behind them.

How to Train Your Dragon Jay raised his head and admonished:

"Blood Demon Joseph, you are a stranger, and my mission is to protect you."

However, you should know that this base has already been targeted by Tiger Shark Admiral and the Hunters, and your research cannot be moved—”

The Blood Demon Doctor looked at the Dragon Master and licked his lips excitedly:

“Jay, this is Devil’s Island, the site of the Blood Calamity Rift. Even if their numbers double, they are no match for us.”

"Moreover, our great Whale Father has already signed a pact with that being in the Misty Sea, and that ship from hell can come to our aid at any time..."

After hearing this, the Dragon Master's angry gaze gradually turned into excitement.

Blood Disaster, that being from the Misty Sea… The little crow listened, stunned.

The King of Dragons was silent for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips:

"Indeed, this is our territory, and now I have mastered the method to resist the life magic, so the witch's life magic can no longer harm me."

A vengeful glint flashed in the eyes of the Dragon Master, who then laughed loudly:

"Hahahaha! Come on, Black Hunter, I'll show you what true dragon might is!"

Seeing this, the Blood Demon Doctor also licked his scalpel:

"The blood of the witch and the hunter, I can't wait to enjoy the Black Hunter. I heard from the Black Death Doctor that the Black Hunter is the perfect vessel!"

"Black Hunter! Black Hunter!"

The Blood Demon Doctor murmured the Black Hunter's name, his face turning rosy, and he burst into joyful laughter:

"Hahahahaha!"

The Dragon Master and the Blood Doctor opened their fang-filled mouths and burst into uncontrollable laughter!

Inside the research facility, the two legends' maniacal laughter infected the others, who also couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha!"

Instantly, the entire research institute was filled with hearty laughter.

The atmosphere suddenly became eerie.

"Are you laughing at your mother?!" The little crow leaned against the corner, raised its head, and stared blankly at the gray ceiling, its eyes full of helplessness.

……

……

Lantern Moon Island, Ghost Ship.

Chen Qi was holding a gold-rimmed mirror in his hand, in which the blurry faces of the little crow and the Dragon King appeared.

As the intelligence indicated, both of them were located in the research institute on Devil's Island.

As expected, the Dragon King, having lost his base, will become the guardian of the research base... Chen Qi put the mirror away.

To obtain the Cup Witch's relic, they must confront the Dragon King once again.

This time, however, the Dragon Master probably won't fall for the same trick twice.

They must have prepared the relics to deal with 'Fen's' life-draining.

Chen Qi raised his head and said to the people beside him:
"The intelligence is accurate."

"Is this okay?"

The innocent Brie asked:
Are there any other side effects from using this mirror?

"Yes, but the side effects are minor."

Chen Qi's eyes were bright, and he spoke quite sincerely.

Using the 'Mirror of Lies' requires providing some information about the tracker, while also causing someone of a corresponding rank to suffer the cost of 'spiritual weakness' and 'the need to tell the truth'.

Moreover, it's impossible to make the same person bear the consequences in a short period of time.

Tracking the little crow requires a Tier 3 item, while tracking the Dragon King requires a Tier 4 item.

Chen Qi chose to make Bu Li and Jin Li of the Ice Demon Pirates bear the consequences.

Finn was surprisingly clever and did not bear the consequences this time.

However, it's a good thing that the unscrupulous merchant Jin Li has to pay the price... Chen Qi smiled slightly:
"The location has been determined. Now, we simply await the sound of the navy's horn..."

Finn leaned against the side of the boat, her chin resting on her hand, her emerald green hair fluttering gently in the sea breeze. Defeating just one of the Cup-type superhumans would grant her the final witch's relic.

At this moment, Palu walked over and said to Chen Qi:

"Black Hunter, as you instructed, I've obtained the Bloodthirst Potion, which should strengthen your physique..."

Palu tossed a monster potion to Chenqi.

"So efficient!" Chen Qi took the medicine and drank it down in one gulp.

A thirst for blood welled up in his throat.

[Your constitution has increased by 5 points. For a short period of time, you can greatly enhance your combat power by absorbing the blood of strong individuals...]

"Is the potion too low-grade? It can only provide a short-term boost..." Chen Qi thought to himself, then looked at Palu.

Paru's profession today is a horse-riding stuntman, wearing a cowboy hat.

At this moment, Brie bravely asked:
"Boss, long time no see! When will your talent turn you into a dragon girl? Show me a wave dance!"

"Dragon Girl?"

Palu looked puzzled.

Wait! What did I say? Bri looked puzzled:
"You know I'm not interested in men, only in machines and dragons... I just wanted to say, boss... if you were a dragon girl..."

This is the side effect of the Mirror of Lies... Chen Qi observed.

"what?"

Palu silently clenched his fists.

He was, after all, the end of a legend!

How dare Brie talk to him like that!
"Qi, you tricked me!" Bri said with a wry smile.

"No, boss, what I mean is, if you could turn into a woman, no, what I mean is, you smell really good..."

Smells good? Palu frowned in alarm, retracted his fist, and took several steps back.

Could it be that Brie is an even more perverted guy than Nancy, one of the three heroes of the capital?

"Cough cough."

Chen Qitibuli explained:

"Don't worry about it. He just used the Mirror of Lies of the Lamp Witch. This mirror will make him lie endlessly."

"The relics of the Lamp Witch have such a negative effect?"

Palu looked curious and wanted to try the Mirror of Lies as well.

Brie said loudly:

"No, boss, he's lying to you!"

"See? He couldn't help lying..."

Chen Qi smiled wryly.

The negative effects of this mirror were far more devastating than he had imagined!

This is no longer just about speaking the truth; it's about losing control and being forced to express one's true feelings!
"I absolutely must not use this on myself..." Chen Qi thought to himself, then looked at Fen.

Fen also looked at him.

Suddenly, Chen Qi and Fen looked at each other, their eyes met, and then they silently looked away.

Bree looked speechlessly at the two people staring at each other:

"You two, can you stop acting like riddles in front of me..."

"..."

"Get down first, Brie!" Chen Qi kicked Brie mercilessly, preventing him from continuing to tell the truth.

Then, Chen Qi clapped his hands and asked:

"Palu, approximately when is the Navy's specific timing for this operation?"

Am I not very important to the crew? Paru stroked his chin:
"It won't take more than two weeks."

Two weeks is enough time for me to learn a new skill... Chen Qi thought to himself.

Undoubtedly, this is the best opportunity for them to obtain the relics of the Witch of the Cup.

However, he has just been promoted and is still lacking in some aspects to become a truly powerful legend.

For example, meditation, physical training, and breathing techniques that only legends can master.

With the help of the Ice Demon Pirates, meditation, body-strengthening, and breathing techniques were not difficult to obtain.

What's truly difficult to handle is the liberation of the legend!
After upgrading to Legendary, with the improvement of the spiritual energy source, the original liberation can no longer be called liberation.

Whether it's the Shadow of the Flame Demon or the Flesh-Slicing and Bone-Breaking Techniques, they are more like killing moves for Chen Qi now.

To defeat the Dragon Tamer King, or even the Blood Demon Doctor at the research base, head-on without any help, he would need an even more powerful release technique.

At this moment, Chen Qi couldn't help but look at Jin Li in the corner.

Just now, it was the kind-hearted Jin Li who helped them and bore the price of the "Mirror of Lies".

Besides Palu, the richest person in the Ice Demon Pirate Crew is the mysterious merchant Jinli!

This is a notorious swindler in the player forums! A mysterious merchant who will rip you off without batting an eye!
Seeing Buli's miserable state, Jinli prepared to flee the place.

"Merchant Jin Li, I want to buy some things."

"Closed today, Black Hunter!"

The mysterious merchant, Jin Li, smiled and quickly fled.

"Treasure mimic, trying to run away?" Chen Qi sprinted forward, appearing behind Jin Li and pinning her down with his hand.

“I’m willing to give you five ancient coins.”

Chen Qi's powerful brute force prevented Jin Li from taking another step forward.

Palu, help me! Someone's trying to sabotage your crew! Jinli turned around, carrying a large backpack, and said with a wry smile:
"Okay, ancient currency! We're good friends, why didn't we talk about money earlier!"

In this state, I have no way of asking Palu for help! Jinli put down her backpack:
"Just tell me what you want to buy beforehand, and I, being an honest businessperson, will definitely give you a 12% discount!"

Jin Li looked up, sweat dripping down her face, and said.

She has tried her best to resist the negative effects of the 'Mirror of Lies' with her willpower.

Even legends can't resist the Mirror of Lies... A little yellow flower of excitement bloomed on Finn's head as she swallowed a mouthful of water.

"Twelve times off, that wretched treasure chest monster..." Chen Qi thought to himself, then continued:
"I want to purchase some legendary skill cards."

Chen Qi revealed his sexual characteristics.

Jin Li put her hands together and said:
"Alright, seeing the smile on Miss Flower Witch's face, I've decided to give you a 10% discount."

"Black Hunter, you're not as easily fooled as Palu!"

"Easy to fool?"

Palu looked at Jinli suspiciously.

"Yes, Palu, you're the easiest to fool..."

In the next instant, Jin Li took out her index finger and stuck it into her neck to stop herself from making a sound!

Blood spurted out!

If Palu finds out how much money she swindled from the other party, she won't be leaving this ship today!

That was an indescribable astronomical price!

We have to finish this deal quickly! Jin Li clutched her neck and said painfully.

"Black Hunter...you wait...one day...I will get my revenge!!"

"..."

Chen Qi looked at Jin Li speechlessly.

The destructive power of this 'Mirror of Lies' was far greater than he had imagined.

Jin Li stuck out her tongue with difficulty and said:

"Also, besides the meditation method, I have a liberation that suits you, a legendary liberation that summons the Hand of the Abyss... a class card... originally priced at 1,000 Ancient Coins, I'll only charge you 1,500 Ancient Coins!"

The legendary liberation of the Hand of the Abyss... A glint of excitement flashed in Chen Qi's eyes.
