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

Chapter 356 The Severely Ill Witch

The ground trembled slightly, and a huge figure nearly ten meters tall burst out of the sea.

What did he catch? Chen Qi was surprised to find that what he caught didn't seem to be a fish.

This weighs at least ten tons, it shouldn't count as an air force... Chen Qi looked at the huge monster in the icy sea before him.

It is made up of blue stones, has no mouth, no ears, and has incredibly thick limbs.

In the center of its chest is a red gem eye!

His bright red eyes swept over everyone present.

Chen Qi put away his fishing rod, slung it over his shoulder, and gave himself a thumbs-up.

"It's caught."

Boom!

The surrounding glaciers trembled violently, and the enormous monster stomped onto the ground.

Its massive figure, like a city wall, overshadowed everyone.

The monsters in the Coffin of the Sea are of many kinds, and neither Palu nor Finn know much about the monsters in front of them.

Can this thing be eaten? Chen Qi couldn't recall what kind of monster it was for a moment.

"Ice-Eyed Giant..."

The little crow whispered the monster's name.

Hmm? Chen Qi turned around, slightly startled. This was a monster that even Palu and he didn't understand.

In the next instant, Chen Qi turned his head to the side, ran his index finger across the blade, ignited the long sword, and then slashed out with a fierce blow.

Black Wave Slash!

Boom!

With a single slash, azure flames instantly ignited, and the enormous ice-eyed giant was sliced ​​apart as if by a chainsaw at maximum power!

At the same time, Palu, like a Western gunslinger, quickly drew his gun, and the bullet shot out, creating several layers of sound waves, hitting the Ice-Eyed Giant's ruby ​​and creating a huge circular ripple!

Boom!

With a deafening roar, visible cracks appeared in the glacier beneath their feet.

However, the enormous ice-eyed giant showed no reaction and continued to charge towards the two of them with heavy steps.

There wasn't even a trace on its surface!

This was a full-force attack from the two fourth-tier fighters.

These are the mobs in the A-rank rift, they're really tough... Chen Qi lit the daytime lantern at his waist.

At this moment, the little crow whispered:
Contrary to intuition, the Ice-Eyed Giant is not afraid of fire.

"The shell on its body is formed from ice and stone from the deep seabed. It can absorb spiritual energy and reduce the attack of spiritual energy. At the same time, it is extremely hard and is a material for forging high-level forbidden weapons."

Finally, the little crow whispered:
"Its weakness is in its rear end."

After saying that, the little crow took the scalpel and poked Chen Qi's butt in the air.

Buttocks? Chen Qi turned around, somewhat doubting his hearing.

Why does the little crow know so much about the monster in the Coffin of the Sea?

Half-believing, half-doubting, Chen Qi slid in and crashed into the back of the Ice-Eyed Giant.

There was indeed a tiny crack in that hard rock.

It turns out there really is this weakness... Chen Qi slid in and unleashed a slash!

With a deafening shattering sound, the Ice-Eyed Giant's rear end was violently torn open by the blade, shattered!

The flames burned, creating a huge crack.

This casual, ordinary sliding tackle caused the Ice-Eyed Giant to make a loud cracking sound, and not long after, it crashed to the ground with a thud.

It really was a weakness... Chen Qi sheathed his longsword at his waist and looked at the little crow with a puzzled expression.

The little crow raised its head, its rose-colored eyes fixed on Chen Qi, and gripped the Calamity Messenger card at its waist tightly.

"This card contains nearly 99% of the knowledge about monsters and calamities in the Witch Sea..."

The Calamity Messenger's card also grants this kind of knowledge... This card is truly valuable... Chen Qi nodded slightly.

The quest for becoming a messenger of calamity is to foresee a catastrophe capable of destroying several cities and to be present in it, witnessing its arrival.

"I wonder if the calamity of the A-rank rift meets the requirements..." Chen Qi thought to himself.

If the little crow is lucky, perhaps he will witness the birth of a new legend in the A-rank rift!
If he didn't have the Deepsea Hunter class card, he might have chosen the Lantern Shadow class as well.

The most distinctive feature of the Calamity Messenger is its ability to manipulate shadows and use them to simulate common natural disasters.

This is a fourth-tier assassin-type class that combines crowd control abilities.

At that time, with the Banshee Potion and the little raven that can manipulate shadows and predict calamities, she might surpass him in terms of ultimate combat power.

The little raven got up and searched through the remains of the Ice-Eyed Giant:
"The Ice-Eyed Giant is essentially a polymer formed from a bunch of parasitic crabs..."

After she finished speaking, she found a weak point and, in one swift motion, used her reddened little hands to dismember the Ice-Eyed Giant!

"Crab?"

Chen Qi was startled and dismayed.

With a gentle stroke of the little raven, fifteen one-meter-tall blue crabs fell from the massive body of the Ice-Eyed Giant.

Crunch!

The crabs huddled together, shivering!

It turned out to be a group of monsters piloting mechs... Chen Qi scanned the crabs.

Just by looking at these crabs' thick, powerful legs, you can tell that they are exceptionally delicious!
The little crow added:
"Once the toxins are removed, it's safe to eat."

Soon after, the group lit a campfire and turned the frozen crab into a fragrant braised crab stew.

At the same time, the materials dropped by the Ice-Eyed Giant have also been listed.

Deep-sea ice stone is an A-grade crack material used to manufacture ships and armor.

In addition, there is the gem on the head of the Ice-Eyed Giant and the small sapphire inside its body.

Chen Qi examined the ruby ​​under the sunlight.

Crimson Ice Stone:
Nature: Ice
Description: This gem, formed from the spiritual energy condensed deep within the Coffin of the Ocean, can enhance one's comprehension of Ice Aspect skills when consumed during practice.

Enhancing Ice Aspect Comprehension is perfect; I can use it when practicing Rift Slash... Chen Qi accepted the gem; it's a good gain.

This gem is worth at least five million shells.

"Everyone, this is for you!"

Fen sat on the frozen water sprite and handed the two maps to Palu and Chenqi respectively.

"This is?"

Paru asked, puzzled.

Fen said quietly:
"I just redraw a map that my teacher once gave me."

As Chen Qi munched on a crab leg, he examined the coffin in the sea, recalling all the details.

The Witch's Coffin is located in the center of the map, while their positions are located at the edge of the map.

Along the way, many dangerous areas were marked.

Among them are quite a few monsters at the Saint level.

There are roughly two routes to reach the Witch's Coffin.

Article 1: Advance by land.

As long as you trek along the glacier, even without a boat, you can eventually reach the Witch's Coffin.

However, this route requires crossing a snow-capped mountain 8,000 meters high, where a blizzard dragon with fifth-tier combat power roams, making it extremely dangerous.

Along the way, you'll also encounter a large, dilapidated wooden house. Inside the house, monsters won't attack.

In addition, the large swarms of watermelon worms on the road also provide a good source of food.

Blizzard Dragon, Safe House, Ice Watermelon Swarm... Paru looked at the first route, somewhat tempted.

Their ships were severely damaged, so going overland was undoubtedly a good option.

The second route crosses the icy sea directly, but along the way, one must pass through a 'merchant's coffin,' which is marked with several extremely dangerous symbols!

Every merchant in this coffin is in extreme danger.

Apart from that, there were no obvious safe food replenishment points along the way, and all they could rely on was fishing at dawn!
However, when Chen Qi casually cast his line, he caught a giant instead!
If it weren't for the little crow's knowledge, they would face a tough battle.

This Ice-Eyed Giant is just an insignificant little monster in the Coffin of the Sea.

Chen Qi touched his chin:
"I plan to take the sea route. With my fishing skills, I can catch something 100% of the time at sea and easily replenish my food supply."

Are you sure this is to replenish food? Palu suppressed his urge to complain:
"We are preparing to follow the great glacier, the snow-capped mountains, and the blizzard dragon, where there are saint-level dragon eggs."

"We've signed a contract with a high-ranking nobleman from the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom. If we can obtain the dragon egg, we can choose a forbidden weapon forged from an A-rank rift."

"..."

Chen Qi thought for a moment and fell into deep thought.

It appears that he and Palu have serious disagreements on their chosen paths!
However, under normal circumstances, it's best for them to separate.

His deep-sea affinity can only ensure his own safety, but not the safety of his teammates.

If it's just Finn and Little Raven, he can protect them. But when his teammates are an entire team, his Deep Sea Affinity can't guarantee everyone's safety.

Every sea monster here is likely at least at the level of a Black Lantern Dragon!

It seems that splitting their forces into two groups might be the right choice.

Chen Qi took a bite of a crab leg:
"I'm going to the Merchant's Coffin to sell some things."

Selling things? That's the merchant from the Coffin of the Sea! Paru closed his eyes.

As a seasoned adventurer, Palun could clearly sense Chenqi's recklessness.

However, these reckless actions were not without reason.

Over these days, he has been able to guess Chen Qi's abilities.

When Chen Qi was at the third level, he dealt a severe blow to the Dragon Tamer King deep underwater!
This means that he possessed the special ability or relic to move around underwater without being attacked by sea monsters.

Clearly, Chenqi's protective capabilities are limited.

Rationally speaking, it would have been a wiser choice for the two of them to act separately.

However, if they separate, their fighting strength will be greatly weakened.

Based on the current situation, the legendary azure beast has most likely chosen the ocean as its route!

If those two were to meet again, the consequences would be unimaginable!
If I'm not there, and the hunter and witch encounter the Azure Beast again... Palu couldn't help but remind them:
"Qi, the Azure Beast may also be in the sea..."

Only when the three of them joined forces did they have the strength to contend with the Azure Beast!
If they are not careful, the black hunter and the witch could become corpses in the sea.

Chen Qi took a deep breath:

"Don't worry, I'm confident that the Azure Beast won't dare to approach us easily on the high seas."

The danger of the icy sea in the Coffin of the Great Sea far exceeds that of the Witch Sea.

Even a fifth-tier azure beast must obediently conceal its spiritual power on the sea of ​​the Coffin of the Great Ocean!
A hint of worry flashed in Palu's eyes, but in the end, he nodded.

This is an A-level rift, a coffin in the ocean; there was never a correct choice to be made.

Land routes are more stable, while sea routes are more dangerous, but shorter.

If they can reach the Witch's Coffin before the Black Whales and awaken the Ice Witch...

Once the Ice Witch is resurrected, even the Azure Beast will be unable to withstand her.

The greater the risk, the greater the reward!
"Contact us via radio every three hours..."

Palu got up and began packing his luggage.

The food available to frozen crabs can only last for one night; every extra second they stay is a burden on their survival.

After discussing the matter and resting for a while, the group split into two groups and set off for the Witch's Coffin.

The Ghost Ship soon set sail again, heading into the depths of the sea.

The cold waves slowly washed over the ship.

"It's so cold in the wind..."

Throughout the journey, Chen Qi remained close to the ship's railing, observing the conditions of the sea.

Fen, meanwhile, was frowning as she processed her medicine.

In the coffin in the sea, her potion also underwent some changes.

Meanwhile, more and more bloodstains appeared on her body.

About five hours later, night fell and the temperature dropped to an alarming minus sixty degrees Celsius.

Even the resilient Water Sprite No. 1 was completely transformed into Ice Sprite No. 1 under this temperature.

Chen Qi lit the daytime lantern and simultaneously cast a fire spell and a holy light spell to maintain the temperature of the Ghost Ship.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The little crow gasped for breath and placed its aching hand on the campfire.

Fen was kneeling by the campfire, her hands exposed, her fingertips red with cold, unlike the little crow.

Some areas of skin even turned a faint bluish-purple due to prolonged exposure to cold.

Fen asked weakly:

"Qi, how much time has passed...?"

"Five hours."

Chen Qi said calmly.

Five hours... Fen silently repeated the time, then quietly placed her hand into the campfire.

“Fen…”

Chen Qi frowned.

Because of the injuries sustained in the battle against the Dragon King, Finn is now extremely weak.

"..."

The little crow, holding the trembling Water Sprite No. 5, looked at Fen.

At Fen's collarbone, bright red blood was writhing in agony, leaving one wound after another on her body.

Tick ​​tock!Tick ​​tock!
The blood fell onto the deck and quickly congealed.

Even injured, the witch remains as beautiful as ever; Blood Flower Disease, that's a rare case...

Blood flower disease can worsen rapidly due to other illnesses.

The research on Blood Flower Disease should be able to be published in the Royal University Journal of Bei... The little crow hugged itself tightly and whispered:
"Miss Witch, may I examine your Blood Flower Disease?"

"???"

Fen looked at the little crow in front of her, still half asleep.

"..."

Spending so much time in the research institute has shaped my entire speaking habits… The little crow’s lips twitched.

She's been a pirate for too long, and she's been intoxicated by the persona of a mad doctor for too long; now, she can't change it.

No, to be precise, in some ways she really does seem like a crazy doctor.

The little crow murmured:

"I mean... Miss Witch, do you need a doctor's help?"

"Um……"

Fen gripped her own body, her face flushed, and nodded.

The witch smells so good! Is the witch really that weak? No wonder she couldn't suppress Qi... The little crow picked up a scalpel, ready to cut away the bloodstains for Fen.

However, the moment Finn was touched by the little crow, she instinctively headbutted the little crow all afternoon!
Instinctive reaction!

"Ouch..." The little crow touched its aching forehead and said with a wry smile.

"Don't worry, Miss Witch, we are safe now."

"..."

Chen Qi's ears perked up:

"Little crow, don't speak yet."

The little crow's recent misfortunes have somewhat exceeded his expectations.

"what happened?"

The little crow asked.

Suddenly, she shuddered.

It was cold, an endless cold. Chen Qi cautiously looked around.

boom!
In this extreme cold, he heard a crash.

A small boat? Chen Qi picked up the lantern from his waist and lowered his head.

In the darkness, a small boat laden with flowers collided with their ghost ship.

boom! boom! boom!
Chen Qi stood by the boat.

More and more small boats collided with the ship, making a crisp sound.

In a post-apocalyptic world, being hit by so many ships...

Chen Qi used the fire-casting technique to enhance the brightness of the daytime lantern.

The blurry view of the sea gradually became clearer.

Ahead, he saw hundreds of small boats laden with flowers heading toward their vessel.

"Do not……"

Rather than small boats, they were more like coffins laden with flowers.

Chen Qi swallowed a mouthful of water and gazed into the distance.

From the distant mist, a twisted, tentacle-covered, blurry ghostly girl smiled slightly at them and whispered:

"Sir, are you buying a boat?"
