"Why? Have you lost your mind?"
"I am a Light Phase Transcendent, with the ability to handle Shadow Beasts, and I need a lot of creeping shadow materials myself."
Chen Qi said expressionlessly:
"If I want to become a true Light Seer, I must have the courage to ignore the difficulties and delve into the dark."
As he spoke, Chen Qi pretentiously added:
"And I think, if Sea God Island becomes my home in the future, then I must also have the courage to protect it."
Home... Captain Sea Snake didn't know how to control his expression.
He had only seen Chen Qi as a naive and background-less victim to exploit, preparing to assign him dangerous and tough missions, and to drain his value.
However, he had never imagined that before he even began the brainwashing, Chen Qi had already considered Sea God Island his home!
And he was willing to go, on his own initiative, into the source of the shadow tide to detect the enemy!
What a good person, I misjudged him... Captain Sea Snake felt a profound sense of remorse internally.
The surrounding Hunters also showed expressions of admiration and whispered amongst themselves.
"A Second-order Transcendent daring to undertake such a dangerous job."
"Who is he? A defector from the Shell Country Meteorological Bureau?"
"Seems like a Chef, a newcomer..."
"A second-tier newcomer daring to enter the Shadow Beast tide? Isn't he afraid of death? The origin of the Shadow Beast tide is reportedly populated by hundreds of thousands, even millions of Shadow Beasts!"
"A newcomer, huh? Didn't the Sea God Pirate Group brainwash him? That cult leader really does considerable harm."
"Keep your voice down."
The crowd shook their heads, but most of the Hunters displayed a supportive attitude.

You see, the more information about the Shadow Beast tide, the safer they would be!
With utmost respect, Captain Sea Snake placed his hands on Chen Qi's shoulders:
"Brother, what's your name?"
Chen Qi said:
"Qi."
With a tone full of gratitude, Captain Sea Snake said:
"Qi, brother! Brave man! I'll immediately give you the location of the origin of the Shadow Beast tide, to be honest, according to our meteorological tower, the shadow tide will launch a total assault on Sea God Island within three days!
And only five people are participating in the detection!
Your information could save thousands of lives here!"
"Hmm, what's the reward..."
Chen Qi asked.
With an excited tone, Captain Sea Snake said:
"Three million Shell Coins for the reward! Brother, furthermore, I'll give you the forbidden knowledge exclusive to our Sea God Pirate Group!"
Three million Shell Coins, not bad... Chen Qi was pleased internally, as he was low on money right now.
Adding more, Captain Sea Snake said:
"Oh, and brother, if you really pull this off! I'll also give you the sea mud I use for my daily bath!"
Is this supposed to be a pet I can give away... Chen Qi said:
"No need."
"Then I'll give you the sea mud used by the Holy Maiden of our Sea God Cult for her baths..."
"Um... no need for that either..."
What is your obsession with sea mud... Chen Qi was speechless.
Without hesitation, Captain Sea Snake handed over the sea chart marked with the origin of the tide to Chen Qi.
A bit of danger here, I wonder if Fen has left yet... Chen Qi took the map and planned his trip.
Just then, a somewhat playful female voice interrupted his thoughts:
"Little brother, if you can truly provide information about the shadow tide, we at the Tower of Books are also willing to make a card for you for free."
That voice... Chen Qi looked towards the source.
The speaking woman, sitting on a high stool, swayed her wine glass, smiling serenely as she watched him.
She had silver-white hair, long white eyebrows, a straight nose, and wore a simplistic white Hunter uniform, yet she looked exceptionally noble and elegant.
Beside her, sat five other Hunters in the same white uniforms, their expressions cold.
