"Black Hunter."
Blue Fire added, his eyes flashing with vigilance and fear.
The opponent was one of the supernovas, a man of the Flower Witch, and although not outstanding in combat, he still needed to be cautious.
Giving you face... Chen Qi glanced at the white-haired old man in front of him.
Hearing this familiar catchphrase, Chen Qi recalled the old man who liked to smoke from the Bonfire Energy Company.
Originally a noble's butler, he had risked his life and spent all his life's earnings to save a significant noble for his master.

He had thought he would receive a Legendary profession card as a reward, but the noble, claiming he was too old, only gave him a lighter.
Since then, the old man, Blue Fire, had stopped believing in nobles, joined the Bonfire Energy Company, and headed to the Witch Sea in search of becoming a legend.
He, like the Saint Bookman from the Tower of Books, had the catchphrase, "Give me some face," "Stop fighting now!"
Later, as it turned out, his face got swollen—
Chen Qi thought to himself that in his memory, Blue Fire was a legend, but now he was only Third Rank.
It seemed that after this journey, Blue Fire had become a legend.
The opponent's occupation was as a Lamp Phase messenger, skilled in delivering messages and movement technique skills.
While his strength wasn't on par with a supernova, he was still a formidable opponent... Chen Qi's tentacles behind him squirmed, involuntarily excited to grow larger.
Though somewhat strong, in this dark night, with the Shadow of Flame Demon plus the Ember Touch, Shadow Weaving of the Ember Beast in its bloom state!
In this dark night, with Blue Fire's strength, he was no match!
The only threat was from the Black Rock Mecha of the Bonfire Energy Company—
However, the Black Rock Mecha's utility was extremely limited, as such a large mecha lacked the ability to hide its presence, and its powerful Spiritual Power Core would be a prime target for the Shadow Beast and the Twelve Touch.
As long as he used the 'alarm clock' he had just obtained from the Deep Sea Hunter, to release a ringing sound again and wake up the Twelve Touch, this Black Rock Mecha would simply be a big nuisance for the Twelve Touch to deal with.
"What can you offer?" Chen Qi asked as he stepped on Diya's head, with his tentacles behind him dancing more excitedly.
The next second, Blue Fire raised his hand and threw all five Deep Blue Fire Bottles at Chen Qi:
"Black Hunter, to be honest, when we arrived at this lost island, the Black Whale Group's legend, Dragon Tamer King Jay, had already navigated through the thunderstorm and reached the Sea of Calamity!
We're running out of time, if we keep fighting, both you and I might end up being food for the Thunder Dragon under the Dragon Tamer King."
The seven major pirates of the Black Whale Group had already left the Mist Sea and started searching for the Witch Relics and the Flower Witch.
Chen Qi thought for a moment.
Blue Fire hadn't lied, but he had deliberately hidden key information, that being the naval support from the Bonfire Energy Company.
Moreover, the purpose of his negotiation was not to save Diya.
Chen Qi smiled:
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Whoosh, the wind blew, clearing the clouds in the sky and casting faint moonlight, illuminating the lost island.
Blue Fire's white hair fluttered in the wind as he slowly looked towards the center of the island, his old eyes flickering with excitement.
Finally seeing it again, Deep Sea Hunter, your legend... Blue Fire stepped on Diya's head on the ground, excitedly moving forward.
At the very center of the lost island was a large lake, and in the center of the lake, a piece of land protruded.
In the center of the land, there was a blue Lake Sword, with a faint blue flame still burning on the hilt.
Around it, bones were scattered, and five hundred meters from the Lake Sword, there was a special blue ripple.
Though it looked nondescript and did not emit any strong spiritual power of a taboo creation, that was the treasure left by the Deep Sea Hunter:
Lake Sword.
Chen Qi blinked. As expected, this was the treasure buried on the lost island by the Deep Sea Hunter.
Deep Sea Hunter, Deep Sea Hunter, could you not come up with some new tricks? Chen Qi could not help but complain.
So far, all the treasures he had encountered from the Deep Sea Hunter were carved from the same mold.
All the treasures of the Deep Sea Hunter were primarily one thing, they looked so easy to take!
But daring to take them was courting death! These skeletons were the strongest proof.
Twenty years later, seeing this treasure again, Blue Fire clenched the cigarette in his hand, unable to hide his excitement at this moment, and said to himself,
"Black Hunter, the Deep Sea Hunter has died, and that era has passed so long ago that people have forgotten what the Deep Sea Hunter looked like. But in the legends, the Deep Sea Hunter was a being that could dominate the sea.
In the barren Witch Sea, only the Ice Witch and the Deep Sea Hunter had once reached a path beyond saints, seeing the Sea Goddess that loitered above the Witch Sea and the Great Whale that came from beyond our world..."
Blue Fire paused for three seconds before continuing,
"If we delve into history, the Ice Witch once left behind a Witch's Coffin, sealing a Saint's Path. However, in reality, the treasure from the Deep Sea Hunter also leads to a path to sainthood, no, even higher paths—"
A path beyond saints... Chen Qi touched his chin, listening with interest.
This world did have gods, but unlike most gods, the gods of New Day rarely appeared and responded to the faithful.
However, once their taboo was violated, they would immediately execute punishment.
After becoming saints, it was possible to violate these taboos.
Blue Fire turned his head and glanced at Chen Qi, expecting his surprised expression. This was the information he had fortuitously obtained at the Tower of Books from a Fifth Rank Saint "Recorder."
In the eyes of many, the Deep Sea Hunter was merely a legend, at most a saint. Even today's naval admirals wouldn't believe that in the barren Witch Sea, where even B-rank rifts were rare, there once existed a being close to a demigod.
However, upon hearing this, Chen Qi was not surprised; instead, the tentacles behind him were incredibly excited, growing to a full ten meters in length.
As expected of the Black Hunter, the other must also have been a disciple of the Ice Witch, just like the Flower Witch... Blue Fire thought he had figured out Chen Qi's identity.
Chen Qi smiled slightly,
"Do you know how to take the Lake Sword?"
Blue Fire nodded solemnly,
"I once reached the center of the lake and attempted to pull out that Lake Sword, but I failed. Each time I tried to pull it out, the twelve tentacles guarding the island would awaken, and the lake beasts would become frenzied—"
Stone Sword... Chen Qi couldn't help but complain, the Deep Sea Hunter's way of burying treasures really lacked creativity:
"So, what do you want me to do? And how do we split the final treasure?"
Blue Fire loosened up his muscles and said with a smile,
"To pull out that sword, one must have the insight of either the Lamp Phase or the Blade Phase. In order to pull out this sword, I have gambled my life and strength to switch from the original Blade Phase to the messenger of the Lamp Phase, simultaneously possessing the insights of both the Blade Phase and the Lamp Phase.
During the process, I will inevitably be surrounded by the lake beasts."
"Black Hunter, I heard that you hunted the Black Pig Shark, a ruthless sea beast slayer. I hope you and the Black Rock Mecha can help me fend off the lake beasts.
If we succeed, and there is information about a Legendary Profession Card among the Deep Sea Hunter's treasures, that information will be mine, including the Lake Sword that aids in deploying one's Domain—all yours."
The other treasures are mine, sounds good but only in hearing... Chen Qi thought and said,
"As for the enraged twelve tentacles at the end, we can only rely on our luck?"
"Yes, this world is a gamble, and for us scoundrels, without our lives placed on the tradable scale, we can never become legends."
Blue Fire picked up another cigarette, put it in his mouth, and took out a lighter to light the cigarette.
Puff! Puff!
The moment he lit the cigarette, Blue Fire displayed Water Walking and rushed alone towards the lake.
And behind him, the Black Rock Mecha also fiercely stepped onto the sea.
