Chapter 494: Chapter 323 Promotion to Legend, Hunter and Monster!
“What a great item!” Chen Qi excitedly reached out, picking up the mirror.
It was a dressing mirror with a golden frame.
[The Witch’s Lie Vanity Mirror:
Nature: Lamp
Description: The Witch of the Lamp, in the pursuit of hunting the Ice Witch, crafted this genius seal by using a Light Witch Relic!
Function: At the cost of “telling the truth and suffering Spiritual Power damage,” one can obtain a chance to divine another’s whereabouts.
...
Note: The higher the Rank of the divination target, the higher the Rank required by the person bearing the cost.
Note: Observations suggest that continuous use can produce an uncontrollable curiosity, leading one to unconsciously develop an interest in all things unknown.
The Witch of the Lamp Note: Curiosity, curiosity is the purpose of life! It is the true essence of our being!]
Not just any Witch’s Relic that could be used by non-witches! Chen Qi was extraordinarily excited by the unexpected find.
He hadn’t thought that such a good thing would exist.
Fen could hardly hide her joy.
In order to prevent the Black Whale Group from destroying the Witch Sea, she needed to open the Witch’s Coffin.
And to open the Witch’s Coffin, she needed at least five Witch Relics.
According to the information she had previously, Witch Relics were mostly in the hands of major powers and extremely difficult to obtain!
Yet here they were, aboard an exploration ship, and they had stumbled upon the relic of the Light Witch!
It could be considered an incredibly surprising gain!
“Is this mirror from the newspaper office?”
Chen Qi looked down at Loren, who was bowing his head, and asked.
The White Dove Newspaper was the only organization in the Witch Sea, other than the Shell Country Meteorological Bureau, that possessed a large number of Lamp Phase forbidden artifacts.
Loren didn’t deny it, nodding lightly in response.
“As expected.”
Chen Qi didn’t waste words and continued to search for the spoils of war.
Aside from the heavy Mecha that Diya couldn’t take away, there wasn’t much of importance on the entire ship.
Considering that the ship still needed to return to the Crack Sea, Chen Qi only took away items that could be sold for money and Gold Coins.
The value of these Gold Coins, when added up, was about thirty million shell coins.
“That should be enough…” Chen Qi finished tallying and said,
“Let’s call it a day.”
“Okay.”
Fen nodded, stuffing the items into a large sack and tossing it onto their small houseboat!
A bountiful harvest!
“Goodbye, everyone!”
Chen Qi’s lips quirked up as he faced the sea breeze, with a full bag of loot, hopping onto the ship.
“Everyone, goodbye! Be safe on your way home!”
Fen, with a light and lively step like a thief laden with spoils, waved to the crowd and boarded the houseboat.
Return voyage!
…
…
Everyone bowed their heads, silent, the Black Hunters had left five minutes ago, but they still hadn’t raised their heads.
The Black Hunters had let them go so easily.
It wasn’t until a woman wearing a white jumpsuit, draped in a coat, with protective goggles on her head and big wavy blonde hair, boarded the wounded ship.
This person was none other than Catastrophe Messenger Rose from the Witch Sea’s Shell Country Meteorological Bureau!
The Catastrophe Messenger adjusted her hat, looking incredulously at the scene before her.
The operation to hunt down the Black Hunter had failed.
However, the failure of the Meteorological Bureau made her strangely happy.
In a corner of the ship laid their long-missing investigator Jige.
Additionally, the Level-A Crack Magic Net had not lost control but had been effectively dealt with!
Looking at the people still alive before her, Catastrophe Messenger Rose crossed her arms and said,
“You’re quite lucky to encounter the Magic Net and still be alive.”
The people remained silent, not speaking.
“The source of the Magic Net…”
The Catastrophe Messenger lowered her head, looking at the novice instructor An, her most valued student, at her feet.
“You lost, An, defeated by the Black Hunter…”
Catastrophe Messenger Rose’s lips curled with a taunting smile.
An had once told her that she would defeat the Black Hunter!
The Catastrophe Messenger quietly awaited An’s rebuttal.
Her student, though not talkative, was extremely competitive.
It was this competitiveness that had given her such strength at the Third Rank.
And the Catastrophe Messenger also believed that the student she favored would one day become one of the strongest people in the world, surpassing the Black Hunter.
But this time, An didn’t respond with her usual defiance.
Lying on the ground, An struggled to turn her head and looked out to the distant sea, not shifting her gaze for a long time.
…
…
A day later, at Lamp Moon Island.
Chen Qi stood atop the figurehead of the Nearshore Dominator, carefully steering into the center of a giant whirlpool.
Soon, he found a suitable spot, the center of a hundred-meter whirlpool.
“This place will do…”
Chen Qi swallowed hard as an intense craving surged through his body, craving for energy.
He didn’t inform Fen and Bree of his arrival here.
Chen Qi planned to secretly advance his Rank without Fen knowing, and surprise her.
Bree was still repairing the ship, and Fen was still concocting potions.
Logically, Chen Qi should rest before reaching this place, recuperate, and then complete his promotion.
However, he felt his body cells growing hungrier, increasingly desperate for energy.
At that moment, a prompt appeared.
[Your body is suffering from the side effect “Hunger” of the Witch’s Potion.]
[Hunger: Your body longs to satisfy itself! Craves sublimation! Craves a fierce battle!]
Witch’s Potion… Chen Qi gritted his teeth.
He had almost forgotten that all the potions currently forged by the Flower Witch had significant side effects.
Chen Qi flexed his neck.
But this intense craving would just aid him in his ascension to legendary status.
Chen Qi opened the bag, and scattered the pre-prepared Extraordinary Fish Bait over the whirlpool in front of him.
