Captain Seal snarled threats as he ran towards their large ship hidden in the dark.
Under Captain Seal's order, the pirates immediately retreated.
At the moment, Chen Qi and his companions' Snake Father had been destroyed, and as long as they reached the Seal, the White Tower Hunter Team would fall into a huge crisis!
Escape was for a better attack... Captain Seal curved his lips, admiring his own cunning, "Stop that Lamp Keeper!"
"Charge!"
Chen Qi's thoughts moved slightly, and he used Hound Step's Instant Step in rapid succession, weaving through the crowd straight toward their leader, Captain Seal.
Why are you giving orders?
And you're a Lamp Keeper, meant to protect us from Shadow Demon attacks as a supporting presence in the fight, so why are you charging to the front... Melanie complained in her heart, but her body obediently followed his command, drawing out the hidden cards from under her armpit.
Rain of Thousand Cards!
In an instant, countless sharp spinning cards flew like a hail of bullets, knocking down the enemies around Chen Qi.
"Well done, Melanie!"
With no one else attacking, Chen Qi quickly closed in on the pirate captain Seal and gently touched his Dark Flame Attachment onto the blade.
Instant Step Slash!
Chen Qi used Instant Step again, appearing in front of Seal, then slashed down hard with both hands holding the sword.
"Super Iron Block!"
Bang!
Captain Seal roared again, his body becoming as hard as steel, gleaming and effortlessly withstanding the strike.
The Super Iron Block was an upgraded version of Iron Block, known as the strongest defense shield in the sea and was Seal's proudly mastered Divine Skill.
Captain Seal smirked confidently, "Your energy, you've just advanced recently, haven't you? I happen to be the new leader of this mission, and you dare to challenge me alone! Do you know, my Iron Block, has reached the peak of Third Rank!"
Chen Qi didn't waste words, first a heavy blow with Dark Flame Fist to Seal's face, then another slash towards Seal's abdomen.
Shadow Blade Slash!
In that moment, Seal's tough abdomen splattered with blood, and he was slashed flying fifty meters away.
The Dark Flame Attachment inherently had the effect of reducing defense, perfectly countering such a monotonous skill like Iron Block.
Seal rolled on the ground several times, then ran towards their main ship again, "Damn it! Boy, you've angered me, just wait until I escape, you're going to pay!"
However, the next second, Seal realized something was amiss, his harmonica had gone missing.
"The simpleton trained in Iron Block is indeed not so easy to defeat..."
Chen Qi chuckled and glanced at the 'Venus Harmonica' in his hand.
When he had swung his fist at Seal's face just now, he had relied on Super Sensation to stealthily snatch the harmonica away with an extremely secretive technique.
[Venus Harmonica:
Attribute: Flower
Description: Commissioned by Deep Sea Hunters and crafted by a master to irritate sea beasts, making them feel the pain and hopelessness of being unable to sleep!
Effect: By playing the harmonica, a furious song can be played to enrage sea beasts and Shadow Beasts!]
Deep Sea Hunters' treasure!
Even able to activate an alarm clock that enrages sea beasts in their sleep?
Captain Seal actually possessed such a fine thing... In the face of Captain Seal, Chen Qi pocketed the harmonica.
You, you, you... Seal's eyes flared with rage; this was a Divine Artifact he had barely managed to exchange from the Mysterious Shop, and now, it had been taken from him so easily!
In the end, Seal suppressed the rage in his heart and the pain in his body, bellowing, "I have successfully used my dominance to intimidate the Lamp Keeper! Board the ship!"
Through the chaos just created, their helmsman had already started the ship's engine and turned the helm; all they needed to do was board the ship, obtain the Deep Blue Fire, and these mere eight ordinary Third Rank Hunters would be their playthings!
Captain Seal took a giant leap, landing on the main ship.
Seeing this, the pirates rejoiced; most of them had already boarded the ship, especially their Third Rank Extraordinary Captains.

Meanwhile, the Second and First Rank Transcendents were blocking Chen Qi and the White Tower Hunters.
However, these pirates were like wheat before the White Tower Hunters, being reaped one after another.
One by one, the pirates died under the slashing of the White Tower Hunters.
```
Boom, boom, boom—
The main engine of Captain Seal's flagship was fully preheated.
"Captain Seal, we still have a lot of brothers who aren't on the ship!"
Someone yelled urgently.
Excluding the five hundred miners, the pirates had a total of two hundred men, but now, only forty had boarded the ship.
Captain Seal didn't hesitate and bellowed out loudly:
"Don't worry, our remaining brothers will definitely be able to pin those guys to the ground and hammer them; they can do it, they are invincible—start the ship!"
Upon hearing this, the pirates on the shore were suddenly shocked:
"We can't do this, Captain!"
The situation was extremely tense. Captain Seal's main ship started up at an incredibly rapid pace and soon, the massive vessel was heading out to sea!
These pirates just wanted to run away with the deep blue fire, without any intention of fighting... Chen Qi shook his head and prepared to have the Water Elf stick to the bottom of their ship.
"Water Elf, go—"
Chen Qi beckoned with a finger.
For now, the situation was still within controllable limits.
In terms of strength, with two hundred men and eleven Third Rank Transcendents, the Sea God Pirate Group could undoubtedly fight them.
However, as long as Chen Qi and his team didn't reveal their identities, the Sea God Pirate Group would fear reinforcement.
Therefore, the Sea God Pirate Group was making a full effort to escape.
Just wait for the right moment, Chen Qi thought to himself.
However, the very next second, the situation suddenly changed.
In front of the smoothly sailing Sea God Pirate Group's ships, a multitude of cracks appeared instantly, resembling shattered mirrors.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Followed by a sharp cracking sound, a portal opened abruptly, and at the same time, a ship ablaze with flames emerged from the fissure, blocking the way of Captain Seal's vessel.
Boom!
With a deafening roar, the two ships collided violently amidst the waves, causing both hulls to shake intensely.
The ships of Bonfire Energy Company were twice as tall and had already activated their Defense Barriers.
Captain Seal's bow shattered, and items from the deck were thrown into the air by the powerful impact, scattering and creating a cacophony all around.
In an instant, the crew of the Seal displayed looks of utmost terror.
"What the hell rammed into my ship?"
Captain Seal was clearly baffled—he had never imagined that a Bonfire Energy Company ship, especially the swift Bonfire Exploration, would appear on his escape route.
Could this also be within the calculations of the Lamp Keeper? Captain Seal took a deep breath, then focused on what was beneath his feet.
A deep blue flame was burning more intensely following the violent collision.
Bonfire Energy Company had joined the battlefield.
At the bow of the Bonfire Exploration, Captain Blue Fire stood, looking down at the chaos below, and immediately noticed the panicked expressions of everyone, as well as Chen Qi, wearing the Snake Father Cloak.
At that moment, Diya glanced over and immediately understood the situation, saying coldly:
"Blue Fire, looks like those who want to snatch the deep blue fire aren't just from the Black Whale Group and the Sea God Pirate Group. Which little mouse from what power dared to touch Bonfire Energy Company's cake."
Saying this, Diya turned to look at Chen Qi.
Chen Qi observed the Bonfire Energy Company ship burning fiercely in front of him and analyzed:
"The Space Jump Engine."
Logically speaking, without a fixed destination, Bonfire Energy Company shouldn't have arrived before them.
However, for the sake of competing for the deep blue fire, Bonfire Energy Company had deployed a ship equipped with a Space Jump Engine.
At this moment, Diya swept his gaze over everyone present and smiled faintly:
"You guys are fighting pretty fiercely, but it looks like mere resistance of a rabble. After all, the navy has taken down the reinforcements of the Sea God Pirate Group, and the Black Whale Group's reinforcements have been completely led away after discovering the traces of the Flower Witch."
Diya casually asked:
"Manager Blue Fire, who shall we hit first?"
Blue Fire looked up at the sky, then swept his gaze over the people on the island and waved his hand:
"Everyone."
Boom! The very next moment, fifty hunters from Bonfire Energy Company picked up their Magic Bullet Bonfire Guns and unleashed intense fire bombs.
In an instant, the entire island's dock was engulfed in the roar of gunfire!
