Chen Qi's head was firmly enveloped by a slippery tentacle, and a strong suction emitted from its sucker gave his entire face a strange sensation.
"What a treasure box trap!" His right hand suddenly burst into dark flames, and then he grasped the thick tentacle, pulling the sticky tentacle off his face.

Under brute force, accompanied by a 'snap' sound, the tentacle from inside the treasure box was finally pulled away and thrown to the ground.
"What in the world is this thing? Could this actually be a trap treasure?"
Chen Qi opened his eyes wide again, holding a long knife cautiously examined the treasure chest in front of him.
He saw nearly five-meter long tentacles constantly emerging from this small treasure chest.
Unlike ordinary tentacles, its entire body was colored like seawater, with dark runes visible inside, gently wriggling.
Simultaneously, they lightly tumbled into the seawater, becoming thicker under its soaking.
Chen Qi closely observed them; they lacked the lively spirituality of a creature and instead had the specific rune commands of the White Tower Federation, which could be embedded inside equipment.
An equipment, crafted from the remains of deep sea monsters and the rune command technology of the White Tower Federation.
"Also, like the Deep Sea Water Elf, it can absorb seawater, a high-rank rune command, this is quite rare indeed, wait until I bring it up and test its power..."
Under the seeping of seawater, like ice under high temperature, it continually melted into the sea.
Chen Qi made a decisive move, immediately thrusting his long knife out, spearing it ashore before it completely melted.
Suddenly, the tentacles intertwined, attempting to strike again—
The weakness of this thing is fire... Chen Qi swung his long knife gently, slashing out a dazzling flame.
Under the scorching flame, it quickly shrank, then transformed into a ball, a palm-sized tentacle ball.
Chen Qi picked up the blue ball.
A prompt popped up.
[You've obtained the masterpiece 'Deep Sea Tentacle Compression Ball.']

Chen Qi quickly focused his attention on a few key phrases.
'Compression Ball,' 'Saint,' 'twenty years,' 'domain-type.'
Lake Sword was domain-enhancing auxiliary equipment; this equipment seemed to be its matching equipment.
So thoughtful, huh? Deep Sea Hunter? Chen Qi almost thought the Deep Sea Hunter had placed a Treasure Box Monster inside this very chest.
Moreover, the critical point is that this is equipment crafted by a Saint, and that too over twenty years!
Equipment crafted by a legend is itself a guarantee of quality, not to mention by a Saint.
However, equipment made over twenty years, just these few equipment requirements, it couldn't be disposable... Chen Qi was curious.
Besides this equipment, there was also a piece of parchment inside the treasure box.
Chen Qi unfolded the parchment and glanced over it.
This format seemed to be the diary of the Deep Sea Hunter.
A diary of a legendary individual... Chen Qi hastily read from the beginning.
"April 1, 1001 of Shell Country, ah, today is another clear day, the wind is also very comfortable, and I once again succeeded in climbing to the summit of this city, the location of the great library, wondering if today, from my vigorous youth to the wishes of my dying moments, can be fulfilled?"
The summit of the city, the location of the great library... Chen Qi thought, the Deep Sea Hunter's destination must be the White Tower Federation, only they habitually build libraries at the top.
In legend, the library at the city's summit of the White Tower Federation stores many of the world's secrets,
many legends, even clues to gods, or methods for advancing in ultra-special occupations, could be obtained through these libraries.
Of course, to enter these libraries, one often must accomplish great deeds.
What significant secret was the Deep Sea Hunter after, to head to the library?
Could there be information about rare Occupation Cards? Chen Qi hastened to read on.
"April 1, I was thrown down from the sky by the library's gatekeeper and broke bones because I cursed their librarian."
For what reason? Chen Qi was astonished, such an important figure like the Deep Sea Hunter indeed cursed the librarian of the White Tower Library!
Chen Qi hurriedly continued to read.
"Damn it, one piece of equipment, taking twenty years still not delivered, made me wait for twenty years! Nearly till I was buried! That guy deserved the cursing!
Luckily, that guy said it's almost done, just one more day to finish! I hope Asilina doesn't go back on her word!"
"????"
Chen Qi looked down, staring at the 'Deep Sea Tentacle Compression Ball' in his hand.
Wait, the equipment in this diary, could it be this?
It seems the Deep Sea Hunter was angry due to the delay in the delivery schedule.
"April 2, finally, Asilina finished crafting this equipment, and my twenty-year-long fixation was fulfilled."
