Sea of Calamity.
Upon the rolling black waves, the flag of the Storm Hammer fluttered in the gusting wind.

A massive Navy warship was slowly sailing through the turbulent sea, heading towards their destination.
At present, they weren't far from their destination.
The lengthy voyage at sea, the calamities they encountered along the way, had the Navy men clad in Storm Hammer uniforms clustered on both sides of the warship, full of a desire for battle.
They had sailed these seas for too long and always returned without success.
They were desperate for a battle filled with glory and riches.
And without a doubt, those despicable and cruel pirates of the Sea God Pirate Group and the precious Deep Blue Flame were their primary targets!
To obtain the latest situation on the island, numerous Navy men crowded outside the communications room, leaning on the walls, awaiting news.
Just now, the Eye of Long Voyage from the Bonfire Energy Exploration Ship had sent a piece of heavy news.
"Is there still a need for us anywhere?"
Navy Admiral Cotton with his bushy sideburns and rugged appearance muttered.
It was known that although the Bonfire Exploration was just a small exploration ship, it was staffed with an abundance of personnel, among them was one of the supernovas, Diya, as well as a General-level Mecha from Steam Hand.
At the same time, according to the news, the support for the Sea God Pirate Group had already been taken down by their commander, Bai Ou.
That is to say, even if their Navy warship arrived at Blue Fire Island, they would most likely return without any success, only to watch the Bonfire Exploration enjoy their feast.
Although hoping for one's comrades to be defeated was something shameful and a disgrace to the Navy, at this moment, Navy Admiral Cotton still couldn't help secretly hoping:
"Bonfire Exploration, don't win by too much!
Even if you leave just some small resisting pirates, let us have a taste of the soup!"
Navy Admiral Cotton pressed his ear against the wall of the communications room, anxiously awaiting news from the Bonfire Exploration.
"Don't hope for the Bonfire Exploration to lose, the Bonfire Exploration can't afford to lose."
A young journalist with blonde hair and blue eyes, holding a camera, saw through Cotton's thoughts and bluntly said.
"I am Navy, how could I hope for the Bonfire Exploration to lose, moreover, the Bonfire Exploration has Diya, how could it possibly lose…"
Cotton, his face blushing, raised his head and retorted eagerly.
"Is that so?"
Journalist Pelu took her camera and snapped a picture of Cotton's expression.
However, before the two could argue further, they heard the communications room broadcast an astonished mention of "Black Hunter".
Black Hunter!
He was one of the topmost wanted criminals of the Navy, second only to legends!
Bang! At that moment, a young Navy man, unable to control his emotions, pushed open the door of the communications room.
However, faced with this rash act by the Navy man, the senior Navy officers in the communications room did not voice any criticism.
Every one of them listened seriously to the message coming from the wireless communication device, Eye of Long Voyage.
Chen Qi, somewhat bewildered, asked urgently:
"Could you repeat that? Are you sure it's Black Hunter?"
From the wireless communication device, Eye of Long Voyage, came Diya's anxious voice:
"Listen, I'm saying this one last time! Black Hunter and White Tower Hunter have together defeated our Bonfire Exploration; we need reinforcements!
We have encountered a monster, have been severely defeated, the Third Rank Transcendents are either seriously injured or dead, the ship is destroyed, we need reinforcements, if no reinforcements come, all of the Deep Blue Flame! It will all fall into the monster's hands!
Hurry with the reinforcements!"
After finishing speaking, Diya on the other end of the phone took out a bright red blood-colored syringe and inserted it into her right arm.
Defeat… The senior Navy officials and Chen Qi couldn't help but turn pale with shock.
This was completely beyond their expectations!
The ship was destroyed, all the Third Rank Transcendents were defeated, this could be described as a complete and utter rout.
What exactly had happened on Blue Fire Island?
Hearing this message, a senior Navy officer immediately raised his hand, signaling everyone on the ship to switch from their original slow navigation to maximum speed navigation.
Chen Qi put away the unease on his face:
"We will reinforce immediately, can I ask, how are the other Third Rank Transcendents at sea?"
It was known that Chen Qi and the White Tower Hunters had already landed on the island.
However, at this moment, the panicked voice of a communications officer came through the radio:
"Save us! The Black Hunter we've encountered is a monster full of arms and tentacles, the other Third Ranks might have already met with disaster!"
Met with disaster... An was deeply concerned about Chen Qi and the White Tower Hunters, and once again asked:
"According to the latest news received by our navy, there's still a ship of White Tower Hunters in the Sea of Calamity, with many Third Ranks. How are they?"
"This, this, I'll go check..."
At this moment, the short-haired communications officer hurriedly turned off the light, then carefully crawled to the window and stuck his head out to observe the Black Hunter through the window.
In the distance, within the darkness, Chen Qi's figure was painted black, posed like a flame demon, covered with the Dark Fire Hand, resembling a spider's terrifying form.
Fear had completely crushed the communications officer.
Coupled with some speculative reports from the Witch Times, this Bonfire Energy communications officer could already imagine the horrific scene of being toyed with and tortured by the Black Hunter.
He poked his head out and caught a blurred glimpse of Chen Qi and the White Tower Hunters together, with one tentacle touching the head of a White Tower Hunter.
He only looked for half a second, then immediately withdrew his head.
The stress of long voyages, the roar of the cannons, the fear, unease, and irritability made the communications officer dare to look only once. The normal sight of Chen Qi's usual tentacle touching little Ma Li's head had twisted swiftly into a terrifying image in his mind.
The Black Hunter was using a tentacle to devour a White Tower Hunter's head!
He picked up the phone tremblingly and said:
"Navy Sir, I just took a glance, those White Tower Hunters you mentioned have been controlled by the Black Hunter, reduced to his playthings, they can only huddle fearfully around the Black Hunter, at his mercy to be slaughtered!
Navy Sir, I beg you, save us! Otherwise, we'll be the next."
"..."
Hearing the trembling voice of the communications officer, An couldn't help but sweat coldly.
The White Tower Hunters and Chen Qi had been controlled by the Black Hunter.
With Chen Qi's stubborn nature, he wouldn't have been caught by the Black Hunter and, killed, would he?
Nevertheless, even if Chen Qi had not been killed, he most likely would be firmly controlled by the other party.
From An's perspective, the Black Hunter and the Flower Witch had always been terrifying figures of the sea.
Reports from the navy and some third-rate newspapers portrayed Flower Witch Fen as enjoying using humans as fertilizer and whipping them.
And the Black Hunter was an even more elusive and terrifying being with tentacles.
The two were known as the dark and light scourges of the Witch Sea.
Previously, when the Black Hunter disappeared, there were strange reports that he had been whipped to death by the sadistic Flower Witch, which now seemed to be pure rumors.
But given that the Flower Witch hailed from the Golden Flower Bird Kingdom, it was very possible she liked some strange play.
Chen Qi wouldn't have been caught by the Black Hunter, and then given to the Flower Witch to be bound and tormented by her, would he?
Damn it, why does my imagination have to be so vivid!
An quickly shook her head, calming down. Right now, the most important thing was to hasten their arrival at Blue Fire Island and then intercept the Black Hunter's escape!
Chen Qi, don't you die, hold on... She took a deep breath and finally said:
"I understand, please wait three minutes, we will arrive."
With that, An and the others hung up the phone and exited the communications room.
At this moment, despite the navy being surprised by the defeat of the Bonfire Exploration, they felt not only astonishment but also a strong and excited desire for battle.
There were three reasons.
First, they, the navy, would no longer be side players in this operation but the protagonists! And to mention, this operation involved not only the rich bounty of Blue Fire but also the Black Hunter, a huge credit!
Second, their ship was not just any vessel, but the old naval battleship Giant Shark, which boasted powerful striking ability and Defense Barriers! Even supernova hunter An and a series of Third Rank strong people were onboard.
Third, and most importantly, their battleship was not far from Blue Fire Island at the moment.
A robust roar from a high-ranking naval officer echoed throughout the massive battleship:
"All hands! Attention, we are about to face the Black Hunter with a bounty of fifty million shell currency!
Everyone, prepare for battle! This sea will now be our stage!"
"At your command!!!"
In the distance, on the horizon, they could already see burning flames, the lights of Blue Fire Island.
And there, the White Tower and Ghost Ship were preparing to flee.
A deafening cheer came from the crowd.
The enemy had already fallen into their encirclement!
