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

Chapter 40 Hunting Ground

Chen Qi glanced at the vicinity of the wormhole.

There were about thirty gang members in front of the wormhole, and about ten hunters who went there alone.

There were about forty people in total.

According to intelligence, most of these forty people came for the treasure the old man had mentioned.

Did you come for that treasure?

Is the treasure you're talking about the same treasure I'm looking for?

If they truly knew it was the Deepsea Hunters' treasure, then those guarding this place wouldn't be members of the gang.

They are mercenaries specially trained by large companies, or even special operations personnel of the Belgadi government!

The treasure mentioned in the newspaper's old man's intelligence report is most likely not the same thing he's looking for.

Chen Qi looked on with curiosity, wanting to know more:

"Any more?"

The old man adjusted his glasses:
"Of course, we are professionals when it comes to intelligence gathering. Even the official intelligence organization of the Kingdom of Bei may not be able to compare with us."

"Based on the information we've gathered, to obtain that special treasure, we must get a key from the monster we first encountered."

As for the treasure location…

key……

The information about the Deepsea Hunter's treasure did not include the key.

"It's very likely not the hunter's treasure."

Chen Qi made a preliminary judgment in his mind.

Immediately afterwards, the old man leaned forward slightly and carefully examined Chen Qi:
"Guest, the information I'm about to share is the key point."

"This treasure location is known only to the selected hunter."

Regulators?
Chen Qi had participated in similar cracks.

Simply put, there will be a 'werewolf' character whose goal is different from that of the normal players. He needs to hunt down people who participate in the Rift in order to obtain higher rewards.

To obtain this treasure, you need to defeat the initial monster you encounter and also ask the hunter for the treasure's location.

Chen Qi said:

"It's quite troublesome."

After delivering the intelligence, the old man adjusted his glasses and looked Chen Qi up and down:
"Guest, the identity of this supervisor has already been decided by the Black Rabbit Gang."

The Black Rabbit Gang and the Wild Dog Gang have made extensive preparations for this trip to the Rift. These two sworn enemies have now joined forces.

"The rift can hold a maximum of fifty-one people, but the Black Rabbit Gang is short-handed due to some issues, and they have a maximum of thirty people in total."

In other words, you can completely ignore those guys crouching in front of the crevice and enter it.

If there's no issue with the number of people, then there's no need to wait in line here.

Chen Qi let out a long sigh of relief.

At this moment, the old man from the newspaper office had almost finished recounting the intelligence report, and he kindly reminded him:
"Guest, you are outnumbered and outmatched; you are not well-suited to compete for the treasure."

"Moreover, this crack has a high probability of distortion and upgrading, which will further reduce your survival rate."

"But if your goal is simply to get through the crack and you're careful, your chances of survival should be about 50%."

The old man said fifty percent, a rather low figure.

He could tell that Chen Qi was stronger than a normal first-tier superhuman.

However, due to the involvement of gangs and the high distortion rate, this rift is far more difficult than an E-level rift.

If an unexpected situation occurs, the probability of the other party surviving will be even lower than fifty percent.

"Thank you, I'll be careful."

Chen Qi nodded.

His primary objective was the deep-sea hunters' treasure, not the "treasure" they were talking about.

The intelligence from the other side was still very useful.

Chen Qi asked again:

"Thank you, but do you really not need anything?"

The old man smiled:
"No need, rules are rules."

By the way, guest, if you have any useful information, you can submit it to our newspaper. We will reward you based on the value of your information.

If the value is high enough, we can even give you some rare weapons that are hard to find on the market.

Take, for example, the appearance of that cloaked woman. My intuition tells me that her appearance under the cloak is definitely not ordinary; there might be wriggling flesh or a body that feeds insects.

Of course, safety is always the top priority. Guest, it's best to keep a certain distance from her.

"I understand. Your newspaper only accepts intelligence? You don't accept anything else?"

Chen Qi asked.

Many intelligence organizations also have the side business of 'fusing stolen goods'.

If we can get in touch with them, we might be able to get rid of some of the stolen goods.

The old man raised an eyebrow:
"No, we don't accept anything else. Intelligence is what we believe in the principles of the lamp seek in this city."

"lamp……"

Chen Qi's eyes lit up.

In the Kingdom of Be, extraordinary individuals who adhere to the principles of the lamp are rare.

The lamp symbolizes hope, guidance, light, and exploration. Unsurprisingly, the newspaper behind Perlu is a powerful organization associated with the lamp!

The newspaper owner in front of me picked up a newspaper and said finally:
May your journey through the rift be successful.

I also wish you great success in your business.

After obtaining the intelligence, Chen Qi left the rift point.

The rift will open at noon tomorrow, so he can still prepare.

The most important piece of information he obtained from the old man at the newspaper was the name of the rift: "The Hunting Ground".

Cracks are quite common in hunting grounds.

The terrain of each hunting ground is different, but the types of monsters in the rift, as well as some aspects, should remain the same.

As a strategy guide content creator, he knows some special ways to beat the game!

If we exclude human factors, this crack would have been easy for him.

In the hunting grounds, you can attract the attention of some monsters by offering them food.

Without hesitation, Chen Qi went to the mall and purchased some ingredients needed for the hunting grounds, as well as some cooking utensils and some poisons that might be needed.

If he enters the rift and is lucky enough to obtain special extraordinary ingredients, he can cook them directly on the spot.

Then, Chen Qi returned to the small boat and began practicing the body-strengthening method.

With the help of body-strengthening techniques and extraordinary ingredients, his body has begun to show some small muscle lines.

After a night of practice, his strength increased by two points, and his punches sent a slight whistling through the air.

……

Day two.

Chen Qi got up early and went to the street where the entrance to the rift was located once again.

On the chaotic street, trash cans were overturned, tables and cabinets were thrown out, along with haphazard clothes and many fresh bullet casings.

Rumble!
I looked up when I woke up.

The crack was about to open, and the wormhole was moving at an increasingly rapid pace, causing the surrounding walls and ground to crack open continuously.

A gigantic maw, connected to another world, is about to open!

Chen Qi stood on the street and glanced around.

Among the gang members, there was one more man dressed in light steam armor.

Besides gang members, there were also many tall hunters wielding high-powered shotguns and wearing heavy fur armor.

And that cloaked woman from yesterday was also there, hmm? Why is the weed still on her lips?

Without exception, their eyes revealed greed and madness.

A trip through the rift can change a person's destiny.

At that very moment, a member of the Black Rabbit Gang, holding a shotgun, looked greedily at all the non-gang members present.

Even now, many people haven't paid the 'ticket price'.

They need to find an easy target, someone who will only charge a small entrance fee.

"You're the one! You look rather thin!"

The Black Rabbit Gang members glanced at the cloaked woman, noticing her thin frame, and intended to ask her for money.

But suddenly, he noticed the strange bulge in the other person's cloak and withdrew.

That's weird; we can't mess with it!
The cloaked woman breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Chen Qi. She was not far from Chen Qi. After finding her, Chen Qi would be the next easy target.

Here he comes; he's taken a liking to Chen Qi.

The Black Rabbit Gang members, carrying shotguns, strode over menacingly and said to Chen Qi:

"Damn it! Hey, this is our rift! If you want to go in, you'll have to pay the entrance fee!"

"We've been targeted..." Chen Qi scratched his head speechlessly.

He hated gangsters; these guys weren't strong, but they were very good at outnumbering their opponents.

"Hey, did you hear that? This is our Crack. If you step onto our territory, you have to pay! We're charging 50,000."

But you haven't shown us the respect we deserve, and with the added "respect fee," you owe us 80,000! 80,000!

The short Black Rabbit gang member moved closer, stretched his neck, and threatened again.

Chen Qi lowered his head, revealing a cold gaze:

"The cracks have already appeared. You should worry about your life more than your money."

The more vulnerable you appear to gang members, the more they will bully you.

"opened?"

The members of the Black Rabbit Gang were stunned and turned around abruptly.

At that moment, the writhing maw on the wall suddenly opened wide, letting out a huge roar, and the surrounding walls and ground instantly cracked open.

Boom!
A fierce gust of wind suddenly swept across the entire street!

Within that gigantic maw, one could vaguely see the phantom of another world.

The moment it opened, these people instantly felt the enlightenment of the crack!

The intelligence was accurate!

Within this crack, there truly exists something that can change one's destiny!

In an instant, ten fully armed superhumans, ignoring the guards of the gang members, charged towards the crevice like runaway bulls!
