Bang!
The arm of the old man with Blue Fire was violently ripped from his body by Chen Qi, while the treasure chest in his hand was also elegantly caught by a Dark Fire Hand that emerged from behind Chen Qi, within the darkness.
"Thank you, now get lost."
The black flames on Chen Qi's face slowly dissipated.
My treasure chest, the chest of the Deep Sea Hunter... The old man with Blue Fire couldn't believe it; he could only move his lips in despair:
"Lamp phase. Space Flash—"
Boom!
Beneath Chen Qi's feet, the body of the old man with Blue Fire burst into lightning, then disappeared in an instant, flashing over to the Burning Bonfire Exploration, he desperately looked towards Chen Qi.
The Space Flash, a trademark move all Lamp Keepers must learn, is essentially a teleportation within a hundred meters.
At this moment, the old man with Blue Fire didn't continue to flee; he had lost his senses, staring blankly at Chen Qi, his desire told him he must retrieve the treasure of the Deep Sea Hunter, yet his instincts warned him to stay away from this monster, this burning creature.
For a time, he took one step forward and then one back, creating a comical sight.
The flames diminished, and the smoke slowly cleared.
The Third Rank Transcendent of the Bonfire Energy Hunter Team was severely wounded in combat with the White Tower Hunter, the pirates of the Sea God Pirate Group had already lost the power to resist, and the ranks of the Bonfire Hunter Group had been overturned by Chen Qi, while the numerous miners on the island only dared to watch from a distance.
Now, the entire island was in shambles; no one could subdue the monster before them.
The Bonfire Hunter Group was running; they could only hope for the navy's help.
[You have received the small treasure chest of the Deep Sea Hunter—]
The Hand of Dark Fire behind Chen Qi made an elegant gesture, placing the small chest covered with a bit of seaweed into his hand.
"Huff..."
Chen Qi took deep breaths, and with each breath, the pain in his body gradually subsided, and the scorching dark flames on his body dissipated with the wind.
"Finally got it..."
Chen Qi looked towards the distant old man with Blue Fire, and the fleeing Bonfire Hunter Group.
The bloom state of the Hand of Residual Fire was in itself a very powerful release, and the Shadow of the Flame Demon was also a release that highly strained the body.
The combination of two releases had almost drained his body's limits in those brief few minutes.
Chen Qi canceled the Shadow of Flame Demon and the bloom state of the Hand of Residual Fire; the dark flames on his body vanished, and the Hand of Dark Fire returned to its sleek tentacle form.
However, fortunately, the most important things in this battle were the two treasures of the Deep Sea Hunter, the Lake Sword, and the small treasure chest; he had gotten them already.
Chen Qi firmly held the Lake Sword in his hand to inspect it.
Under the moonlight, the hilt of the sword was carved with a flame pattern, while the blade itself was battered and worn, as if it had been weathered by the sea for thousands of years.
[Lake Sword:
Nature: Ice, Lamp
Equipment Type: Domain-related item
Description: ???
Effect: After consumption, you will receive a massive inspiration boost, obtain a special spiritual power origin, deep sea resistance, and, furthermore, after consumption, your Domain-related releases will be enhanced.
Note: The equipment is protected with Lamp's ciphertext; the full effects can only be deciphered after breaking the code.]
"Lamp's ciphertext..."
Chen Qi blinked.
But from the known information alone, this was already a Divine Artifact.
Firstly, there was the boost to the spiritual power origin, which meant an improvement to all moves, and such an enhancement to the spiritual power origin was often only obtainable through ascension.
Beyond that, deep sea resistance was a very rare resistance, which could protect him from certain special attacks of high-rank Sea Beasts and allow him to survive underwater.
However, the most important was the last effect—the enhancement of Domain-related releases.
This meant that at the Third Rank, or at the early stage of a Legend, he could use Domain releases.
This was somewhat akin to the Witch Relics, no, to be precise, perhaps even stronger than the general Witch Relics.
After all, Witch Relics had the rigid condition of 'only usable by witches'.
A real treasure. But what does consumption mean? Can this sword be eaten? Chen Qi was puzzled.
If it could be consumed, he wondered if his Soul Seasoning would be effective.
Regardless, it was undoubtedly a treasure. Controlling Domain Release at the Third Rank Transcendent could even rival a Legend, and a Legend with Domain-related relics would become even stronger.
Quite a good treasure, Deep Sea Hunter... Chen Qi stored the Lake Sword into his backpack card.
Then, Chen Qi looked at the small treasure chest.
On this mottled treasure chest, a faint image appeared, of a Hunter hunting a Great Whale.
Chen Qi tried to open it, but found that this treasure chest also had a special encrypted lock.
"Can I only wait to look at it after I go back..."
Chen Qi put the small treasure chest into his backpack card.
At that moment, suddenly, a pair of dexterous hands pressed on the tentacles on his back.
"Lamp Keeper, no, Mr. Black Hunter, can I touch your tentacles, do you have a sense of touch?"
"Um?"
Chen Qi turned around, having used an excessive amount of strength, he actually had not noticed the situation behind him.
Behind him, the little fangirl Ma Li was excitedly stroking his tentacles with an excited expression on her face.
The White Tower Hunter and the Water Elf, holding a bottle filled with Deep Blue Fire, came up to his side.
Ma Li, you actually dared to touch it... Melanie was especially shocked, lowering her head and looking at Chen Qi in horror.
In her eyes, Chen Qi was no longer the gentle, needy Second Rank Transcendent from before, but a monster who could pin them to the ground and hammer them.
He was the Hunter of the Flower Witch, the supernova above the sea!
Melanie couldn't believe it, she now suspected that Chen Qi was able to hide his Third Rank Spiritual Power Field and control himself as a Second Rank.
You must know, it is extremely difficult to disguise a Spiritual Power Field, and if one forcibly does so, it can cause irreversible damage to the body.
What's more, she was a skilled hand at Spiritual Power Detection!
The Black Hunter's level of concealment was terrifying... Melanie couldn't help but recall the scene where she teased Chen Qi, the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

The Black Hunter wouldn't seek revenge, right...? Melanie swallowed a gulp of water and patted little Ma Li's butt, signaling her to stop.
Little Ma Li, seeing Chen Qi turn around, not only did not stop, but touched even more vigorously:
"Mr. Black Hunter, your tentacles are really smooth~"
Will you stop already... The other six White Tower Hunters shakily looked towards little Ma Li.
Quite comfortable... Chen Qi didn't refuse. Although the flesh implants were just equipment, they were connected to his nerves, and this feeling of the tentacles being caressed was quite comfortable.
To be precise, it was extremely comfortable.
Melanie said with a gentle tone:
"Little brother, no, big brother, no, Captain Black Hunter, we have already got all the Deep Blue Fire Bottles on the pirate ship, a total of fifty!"
Chen Qi glanced over.
The Deep Blue Fire was also all in hand, this trip could be deemed a huge harvest.
But, the next problem was coming... Chen Qi looked towards the shore at the Bonfire Exploration.
Melanie also looked towards the shore, tremblingly saying:
"Captain Black Hunter, as expected, the navy warship will be here soon, how should we escape, should we take the ship, or use the small lifeboats?"
Although they had achieved a complete victory on the island, at the end of the day, they were still isolated and weak.
And now that their combat power had been exhausted, once the navy arrived, they would have no chance of victory.
Chen Qi didn't reply, touching his chin and quietly looking towards the shore where the Bonfire Exploration burned.
At this moment, on the Bonfire Exploration, Diya, who had a concussion, struggled to push open the door of the communications room.
In the dim communications room, a communications officer was frantically calling the navy warship on the Eye of Long Voyage phone.
Seeing Diya arrive, the communications officer urgently said:
"Lord Diya, Lord Diya, you're still alive, Lord Diya, you must save us from the Black Hunter..."
The defeat of the Bonfire Hunter main force cast a shadow of despair over the entire ship.
"Go!"
Diya, with blood streaming down his head, forcefully pushed the communications officer aside and took over the Eye of Long Voyage phone.
Ding-a-ling! The phone connected.
Diya anxiously said:
"Listen, navy on the other side, we've encountered one of the supernovas, the Black Hunter, we need support, speed up, send out your strongest Third Rank Transcendent, fully support us!"
"The Black Hunter?"
On the other end of the phone, a voice came through, perplexed and surprised.
Hearing this voice, the frightened corners of Diya's mouth gradually formed a smile, that voice belonged to someone he knew.
One of the supernovas, a monster from Bei Country Royal University, Hunter An.
