Chapter 459: Chapter 306: The Ambitions of the Ice Demon Pirate Group
The bad news and the good news from the Ice Demon Pirate Group? Chen Qi stood up and poured a cup of tea for Bree, asking,
“Let’s hear the bad news first.”
Bree took the tea, rubbed his aching forehead, and replied,
“Our Captain Palu has successfully cleared a B-rank Rift and received the highest evaluation, but as he was leaving the rift, our vice-captain’s ship was attacked by a mysterious ship and was forced into the Mist Sea. The situation is not good.
Our captain must go to assist the vice-captain and cannot reach us for now to protect us.”
“Encountered a mysterious ship?”
Fen blinked, her large eyes full of curiosity.
Bree sighed and explained,
“Yes, the information Captain Palu passed to me was limited, and there is very little information about this ship. Anywhere it appears, the sky turns dark red, and numerous ship disappearances occur. It might be another ghost ship born from a High Rank Rift.”
A mysterious ship… Chen Qi stroked his chin, his mind flashing with a troublesome guess.
Then, Bree took out a stack of Bounty Orders and placed them on the desk,
“Of course, the worst news is that, based on our captain’s information, this time, the navy has offered a reward too good to be refused to capture us!”
After finishing speaking, Bree took a sip of tea and added,
“If I weren’t so well off myself, even I would be tempted.”
You’re still honest… Chen Qi took the Bounty Order and unfolded it, scanning it carefully.
His bounty had shockingly increased by eighty million Shell coins, and the Flower Witch’s bounty, due to her advancement to Legend, had reached an astounding one hundred million Shell coins.
Of course, the more significant reward is the Legendary profession card, offered under the name of the Sea Goddess by the navy’s upper echelon, with the option to choose any Legend profession card.
In addition, there was Bree, shown only from behind in a silhouette and labeled as a “mysterious person,” who had also earned a substantial bounty of thirty million Shell coins.
“Any chosen Legendary profession card…”
Chen Qi’s throat tightened slightly.
Did their fame really warrant the poor navy to use a Legendary profession card as a reward?
Moreover, the option to choose…
Chen Qi swallowed, feeling a sudden impulse to capture himself for the reward.
He was currently in need of a Legendary profession card.
Beneath the Crack Tide, Third Rank Transcendents were becoming more common, but Legendary profession cards were still exceedingly rare.
Even though the newspapers had displayed his and the Flower Witch’s substantial abilities, still, many Hunters would pursue them.
After all, the fall of one legend simply means the beginning of another.
And the adventurers and Hunters of the Witch Sea would not miss this rare opportunity.
Fen skimmed the Bounty Order, her expression turning from joy to gloom, and she sighed slowly,
“Next, we’re likely to be approached by a lot of troublesome people.”
Bree continued to rub his forehead, speaking distressfully,
“Ladies and gentlemen, in fact, some experts have already come after you.”
“Who?”
Chen Qi asked curiously.
If it were the Debt Collectors from Shell Country’s Big Bank assigned to handle money disputes among merchants, that would be quite problematic.
Bree took another sip of tea, his expression bitter,
“The Bounty Hunters from Moonstone City.”
The Bounty Hunters from Moonstone City! Upon hearing this, Fen tightened her grip on the blanket.
She had heard of the great reputation of Moonstone City’s Bounty Hunters when looking for food there.
“Is that all?”
Chen Qi asked, revealing a slight smile.
Although the Bounty Hunters from Moonstone City excelled in tracking and assassination, as long as their leader didn’t personally intervene, it was still within his capacity to handle.
Seeing this, Bree added,
“Additionally, they have summoned a group of experts from the Witch Sea, among them the renowned Supernova An. It is said that the former supernova Diya has also been fully equipped and has joined the hunting troops.”
“An, huh…”
Chen Qi poured himself a cup of tea and drank it.
Among the Third Rank, An was certainly top-tier, but for the current Chen Qi, she was not unbeatable.
Chen Qi hummed lightly.
At one time, An was indeed powerful enough to repel Chen Qi’s Ghost Ship with her own strength.
But now, times have changed!
If she dares to come, she will not return!
Let her come! Chen Qi was ready to let her experience what a straightforward critical strike is, supplemented by the Flower Witch’s potions, and let An experience the binding of twelve tentacles!
Having faced the Dragon Tamer King, Chen Qi was especially confident facing An, even alone, holding a seventy percent assurance.
But the troubling part would be if she and other Hunters cooperated to form an encirclement; that would complicate things slightly.
After all, he and Fen had together repelled the legendary Dragon Tamer King, and their shining performance could indeed potentially unite the pursuing Hunters.
They’re banding together!
A specialized Hunter Group just to capture us; could it be… Chen Qi faintly sensed a possible danger.
However, at this moment, more than the threat these Transcendents posed to their lives, he was more concerned that these Transcendents would hinder their actions in the future.
Once the ship is repaired, we must leave here quickly. There is no time for entanglements with Bounty Hunters, Chen Qi silently thought.
Bree was very pessimistic; he had begun to imagine the terrifying scenario of many Monster Hunters from the Witch Sea collaborating, all drawn by the allure of an “any chosen Legendary profession card.”
