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

Chapter 9 Cover
The creature that has its sights set on Chen Qi is no ordinary deep-sea toad.

Judging from its size, its more gray and hardened skin, and its deep red teeth, this is a more powerful mutant.

At this moment, the little crow also noticed the unusual situation of this strange species.

With so many wounded still recovering, the current situation is absolutely not suitable for escape!

If she runs away now, it means abandoning more than a dozen wounded people on the scene.

She spared a little attention and said to Chen Qi:
"Take out the sea monster oil and sprinkle it on us. This sea monster oil has a hypnotic effect and can also mask our human scent in front of the sea monsters."

Hypnotic aid? You have quite a lot of strange medicinal herbs... Chen Qi took out sea monster oil and skillfully applied it to their bodies.

"I hope it works..." the little crow prayed in his heart.

boom! boom!
The alien species moved another five meters toward them, then suddenly stopped.

After spraying the medicine, Chen Qi turned around and focused intently on observing the movements of the alien species.

The deep-sea toad's huge blue eyes stared at him, and Chen Qi's eyes stared back at it.

Eyes wide open.

"This little thing looks quite unique. Will my Deep Sea Affinity work?" Chen Qi wondered to himself.

This deep-sea toad must be a monster from the deep sea.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, the deep-sea toad opened its huge mouth and roared in their direction.

The sound seemed to carry an ancient power, awakening everyone's instincts and fears!

That roar nearly caused the wounded soldier on the ground to have a sudden cardiac arrest.

Everyone except Chen Qi was terrified.

The little crow was also quite frightened; she was even prepared to terminate the surgery at any moment.

If all else fails, she'll have to let this blue toad taste the medic's wrath!

However, the deep-sea toad turned around and jumped into the darkness the very next second after roaring.

"???"

Everyone was stunned, but they still breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Chen Qi, who was present, understood what had happened.

Because the target of that shout was him...

Relying on his intuition, Chen Qi understood the deep-sea toad's extremely penetrating voice.

Probably means:

"you eat."

The monster wasn't unaware of them, nor was it uninterested in them.

In its eyes, Chen Qi was also a monster, and these wounded were his 'meals'.

"I have no interest in cannibalism..." Chen Qi felt a slight surge of joy.

He has now confirmed that deep-sea affinity works on these deep-sea toads!
These deep-sea toads, which terrify many, do not attack him and are even somewhat benevolent.

This place is his home turf!
Most pirates were busy fighting...

In other words, he can now easily infiltrate the deep-sea toad swarm.

This is a very good opportunity to escape.

His only worry was the ship's doctor behind him.

Although the other party is a healer, it does not mean that her combat power is low.

He could very well have been caught halfway there by the ship's doctor, like an eagle snatching a chick.

Should I really run away?

Chen Qi lowered his head, thinking calmly.

With his affinity for the deep sea, he should be able to find a better opportunity to escape.

"and……"

The inspiration that had just entered the crack resurfaced in Chen Qi's mind.

At the end of the cave, beneath the scarlet eye—

It holds the treasure of deep-sea hunters!
Captain Blackeye was right; this was indeed a rare and exceptional item.

This is why these pirates risked their lives to venture into this sea monster cave.

He possesses a deep-sea affinity, a treasure that represents a tremendous opportunity for Chen Qi.

Under normal circumstances, he would need a long time to develop before he is qualified to step into this crack.

He fearlessly faced the beasts of the deep within the crevice… This deep-sea hunter's treasure, perhaps…

A bold idea popped into Chen Qi's mind, and he looked up.

Other monsters have their eyes on him!

At that moment, on the ceiling, a bat as tall as a human flapped its wings, its dark red eyes fixed on the direction where Chen Qi was.

It was much larger and more threatening than the bats we had seen before!
The Blood-Eyed Bat is an advanced version of the previous bat, and it already belongs to the category of elite monsters.

The smell of blood attracted the monster from the sky.

The sea creatures left because of Chen Qi's deep-sea affinity, but this bloodthirsty monster would not.

"trouble……"

Chen Qi took a deep breath, preparing to kill the bloodthirsty bat.

Fortunately, unlike the deep-sea toad, this is a very common monster in the game, and as a hardcore player, he is very familiar with it.

Generally speaking, as long as one has the strength of a first-tier transcendent being, one can defeat the monsters in the early stages.

Although Chen Qi is not at the first tier, he has taken the Yellow Needle and also possesses the Collector's Spear. In terms of weaponry and attributes, he has already initially acquired the strength of a first-tier superhuman.

"hiss!"

The blood-eyed bat swooped down!

Chen Qi did not fire immediately, but instead gripped his scimitar and waited quietly for an opportunity.

The moment it charged down, he swung his scimitar fiercely, piercing the blood-eyed bat's body!

This monster is not afraid of pain—

As the curved blade pierced him, the Blood-Eyed Bat, just as Chen Qi had predicted, continued forward, attempting to bite his neck off!
The head is the core and also the hardest part of the blood-eyed bat.

At that moment, Chen Qi drew the Collector's Gun with his left hand and pulled the trigger.

boom!
boom!
boom!
Three shots were fired in quick succession! The blood-eyed bat's head exploded like a water-filled sac!

[Slay the Blood-Eyed Bat and gain 51 Spirit Points.]

51 Spirit Points! That's a pretty high number!
Awesome! Chen Qi felt the scalding heat transmitted to his hands by the Collector.

That should be it... Chen Qi looked around and saw that apart from this bat, there were no other creatures that would dare to compete with the deep-sea toad for food.

The first mate, lying on the ground, looked at Chen Qi and sincerely thanked him:
"Thank you, thank you Goddess, thank you ship's doctor..."

"Well done! My job!"

The little crow thought to herself that she had completed the bloodletting surgery on the first mate and successfully expelled the deep-sea toxins from his body.

Her assistant was more capable than he had imagined.

After the surgery and bloodletting, the first mate got up, stretched his limbs, and picked up his weapon again!

Captain Blackeye is still fighting on the front lines!

"Piece of cake..." Chen Qi clapped his hands and looked in the direction where Captain Black Eyes was.

As the captain of the Sawshark, Captain Blackeye is quite powerful and possesses a black knife specifically designed for hunting monsters.

Despite immense pressure, he successfully fought his way through the swarm of deep-sea toads.

However, their physical strength is ultimately limited, while the deep-sea toads here are endless.

Moreover, many more terrifying deep-sea monsters lurk in the shadows, yet to be revealed.

Without a goal, they would eventually be worn down and die in this cave.

"If this continues..."

The little crow clenched its teeth and its tiny fists.

Under the combined influence of Chen Qi and Captain Black Eye, the Deep Sea Toad's offensive weakened.

But the key question remains: what is their target, the treasure of the deep-sea hunters? There has been no news of it to this day!
At that very moment, the pirates who were specifically tasked with scouting ahead appeared before Captain Black Eyes.

The scout pirate approached and excitedly told the captain the information he had just obtained.

"Hahaha! That's awesome, that's absolutely fantastic!"

Upon hearing this, Captain Blackeye's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he burst into laughter.

The captain's laughter, like a war drum, ignited the emotions of everyone present.

Had they discovered something...? Chen Qi's gaze was fixed on the captain, his grip on the Collector's Spear tightening.

The black-eyed captain, covered in blood, pulled a long sword from the toad's flesh and roared:

"Fellow sailors! The sea goddess is blessing us!"

We've found it! The location of the Deep Sea Hunter's treasure!
Everyone, cast aside your fears and follow me with all your might!
