A B-grade crack was enough to affect the direction of a war, the might of a small nation's weaponry.
Therefore, after the Descent of the Smiling Moon, the surrounding powerful nations were unable to retract their greedy fangs.
The Golden Flower Bird Kingdom, White Tower Federation, and even the distant Black Blood Empire, the country of bitter winter, would ignore the warnings of Shell Country. They would send out powerful privateering Hunter Groups, adopting the posture of predators, venturing deep into the great seas of the Witch Sea, becoming a powerful third force beyond the navies and pirate groups!
Under these three factors, the difficulty of navigating the Witch Sea's sea routes would change dramatically, increasing at least tenfold. Ordinary fishermen could only fish under the illumination of a lighthouse, and even Third-tier Transcendents, without encountering pirates, couldn't ensure their own safety.
Chen Qi struggled to use inspiration, attempting to detect the maritime area he was in.
However, he felt as if he were facing a wall, an endless wall of tidal waves that came at him wave after wave, blocking all of his Spiritual Power perception.
A sense of nature's immense pressure weighed heavily on Chen Qi and Fen.
Unconsciously, I've also entered version 2.0 of the Witch Sea... Chen Qi looked towards the densely packed swarm of Shadow Beasts, hung the daytime lantern at the bow of the ship, and commanded,
"Number Three! Head in this direction at full speed!"
Boom! Boom!
Ghost Ship mode! Activate!
The Ghost Ship emitted blue flames, its lantern light at full brightness, heading towards the distant seas.
Fen, as a Floral Appearance Transcendent, possessed a few skills for detecting the weather:
"Chen Qi, are you really going to the base of the Sea God Pirate Group?"
"Yes, there are countless treasures there, as well as tentacles, and the Deep Blue Fire."
Chen Qi was exceptionally excited and without hesitation, pushed the ship to its maximum speed:
"I'm going to Black Mine City, to pick up my little room boat, and then I'll head to the Sea God Pirate Group to look for a high-order Occupation Card."
...
...
Atop the tall buildings of Red Maple Island, people holding lanterns gazed at the Ghost Ship as it grew smaller in the distance.
"He's gone. Indeed, staying with us is still too dangerous," said the fierce Fenrir, feeling an inexplicable sense of loss and helplessness.
Old Gail downed a cup of strong liquor:
"Fenrir, don't worry. I believe soon, you'll see his deeds in the newspaper!!"
"Old Gail, it's not that simple. Those geniuses from the Royal University have already arrived in this sea region. In the presence of those geniuses, Transcendents like me and the Black Hunters, who are monsters, are merely mortals after all.
Those newspapers, next, will become the stage for those geniuses," said the self-deprecating Little Red Riding Hood as she stroked her blonde hair.
Once those monsters from the Extraordinary University enter the scene, their pirate group's geniuses would shatter at a touch.
Old Gail shook his head and laughed:
"That's not necessarily true, Little Red Riding Hood! Maybe he'll surpass you soon! And beat you until you're looking for your teeth all over the ground!" Your next journey awaits at empire
Me, beaten down? Little Red Riding Hood instantly clenched her teeth, revealing fierce golden eyes:
"I will be beaten down by him! I am no ordinary Third Rank; among the Third Rank, I am the strongest..."
Little Red Riding Hood crossed her arms over her chest; she had seen Chen Qi's strength in the practice room.
In the Second-tier, he was outstanding, but in the Third-tier, he was still too weak.
Besides, in her eyes, all Third-order Transcendents were merely toys.
Old Gail, flushed, downed everything in one gulp:
"Hehe, well, give it a try then, Little Red Riding Hood! Aren't you also setting sail soon? To seek the Witch Relics, to cure our leader, Lady Blood!"
"You little thing, you're just Fenrir's sister, yet unexpectedly loyal! Unexpectedly spirited! If I were younger, I would definitely fall for someone with your fiery temperament!"
You, you like me... Little Red Riding Hood bit her teeth, feeling an urge to tear Gail to pieces.
But after a long hesitation, she squeezed out a simple sentence:
"After I leave, Fenrir, my brother, take good care of Lady Blood for me!"
It's in your hands... Little Red Riding Hood felt somewhat reluctant.
Fenrir looked at Little Red Riding Hood's determined eyes and nodded seriously.
...
...
Sigh—
In the early morning, a shy ray of sunlight peeked over the sea horizon, painting the sky a gentle orange.
As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm, the early horse gets the grass, and the early Water Elf has work to do!
Number One, Number Three, Number Four Water Elves had already taken their cloths and were earnestly cleaning every corner of the ship.
Number Five, Number Six, Number Seven were responsible for chopping vegetables and preparing ingredients.
"Mmm, except for Number Two who waters the plants, the other Water Elves are very diligent..."
Chen Qi nodded in satisfaction.
The Water Elves were indeed pets with perfect craftsmanship.
After finishing his role as the ruthless supervisor, Chen Qi found a rocky reef at sea, stopped the boat.
After several days of sailing, he and Fen had reached the territory of the Sea God Pirate Group. In the distance, they could already see the towering statue of the Sea Goddess piercing the clouds.
Chen Qi jumped down from the boat and carved a star on the reef with his long knife:
"Fen, from now on, this will be our meeting point! If your radio device can't contact my ship, come to this place and carve a flower.
If I can't contact you, I will come here and carve a star."
"No problem, Chen Qi!"
Fen dropped her small sailing boat in the water.
Next, Fen's destination would be Blood Demon Island, near the base of the Sea God Pirate Group. She intended to go there to search for the legendary Blood Demon's Heart, which was the key to suppressing her Blood Flower disease!
