Chapter 228 The Beginning of the War
The roar of the steamboat is getting louder and louder!
Accompanied by the roar of steam, everyone ran back and forth on the deck like ants on a hot pan.
The helmsman of the Dagger shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Adjust the port side! Activate the last hidden energy source, replenish the protective shield, and keep the lifeboat ready at all times!
If intelligence officers discover any unusual ships, please report them immediately! "
Fenrir the Mad Wolf also walked out of the captain's room and took out a high-end Eye of Navigation machine:
"Black Hunter, and Miss Witch! The current situation is not optimistic! This is the information we know so far."
Fenrir turned the knob and the machine in his hand began to make sounds.
"Dagger, someone has sent information about the Flower Witch, the Black Hunter, and the Trial Grounds to the entire Witch Sea through the signal tower."
"According to the ships we have observed, more than 15 ships from different forces have entered the Sea of Distortion. At the same time, the Blood Blade Pirates are deeply involved in a battle with the Black Whales and are unable to provide effective fire support."
"Dagger, you must leave the Sea of Distortion and reach the territory of Red Maple Island—"
The situation doesn’t seem very optimistic...Chen Qi patted the machine.
The Flower Witch couldn't help but frown. The feeling of being hunted by multiple forces was simply terrible.
Mad Wolf Fenrir lit a cigarette and said with a self-deprecating smile:
"The last time so many forces were alarmed was when the Deep Sea Hunters' treasure map appeared on the eve of the Rift Tide. The four major pirate groups were all frantically searching for the treasure."
"And now, with the tide of the rift, there are far more greedy treasure hunters in this sea than just 'four pirates'. However, the arrival of the Ice Demon Pirates is also good news. I heard that the Ice Demon Pirates are on the side of the witch."
"It's all because of me..."
The flower on Flower Witch Finn's head couldn't help but bend down and she whispered.
She not only has the Flower Witch's job card, the Blade Witch's relics, and detailed information about all the trial sites, but also the Ice Witch's prophecy...
Mad Wolf Fenrir took out a sea chart:
"Everyone, if we want to return to Red Maple Island and Black Mine City safely, we have to take a gamble now. My suggestion is to rush directly to Red Maple Island. However, as a price, the probability of us being besieged by other ships will increase significantly.
What do you think? "
The mad wolf Fenrir came up with a bold plan.
Since we are surrounded, why not just charge in! !
Maybe you can even encounter the Ice Demon Pirates!
Wait, we’re surrounded… Chen Qi looked at the sea chart.
The Distortion Sea, Red Maple Island, the Navy's abandoned research base, and the Black Mine City—
Because of the whirlpool, if you want to get out, you have to go through the Sea of Distortion.
Because of this, although it is on the ocean, the Dagger actually does not have many options.
Of course, this is just their perspective.
In Chen Qi's opinion, this sea route is very spacious! You can drive anywhere!
The first step is to go deeper along the Sea of Distortion, and the destination will be the dangerous Sea of Fog.
However, neither the Flower Witch Fen nor Fenrir would ever agree to this option.
Beyond that, there are the dangerous waters within the Sea of Distortion itself!
As a forbidden place, there are far more dangerous sea beasts on the Distortion Sea than just the Black Lantern Dragon, and far more dangerous weather than just fog.
Of course, no matter which option it is, it is a bit too exciting for everyone on the Dagger.
But under the current circumstances, this is indeed a very good choice... Chen Qi touched his chin.
Just by taking a detour, you can avoid most hostile ships.
Fenrir squatted down, spread the nautical chart on the ground, and began to plan the next route.
However, the large number of danger signs prevented him from taking action.
Chen Qi said silently:
"Mad Wolf, Finn, I have a good idea."
"???"
Chen Qi took the pen and lightly drew a line on the dark area on the nautical chart:
"I see these places are quite spacious, right? Let's just follow this route and go around!"
Spacious? What's the reason? Everyone on the boat raised their heads and looked at the Black Hunter and the route on the chart in disbelief.
Isn’t it spacious and a scary place with no one around?
Has the Black Hunter always been so fierce when driving a boat?
“…”
Mad Wolf Fenrir was silent for a moment:
"Mr. Black Hunter, are you sure there is no problem? This sea area is the activity range of the Black Lantern Dragon. In addition, there are many ferocious and brutal will-o'-the-wisp fish."
If it were anyone else, Mad Wolf would have slapped him long ago.
However, Chen Qi's "Fishing in the Storm" made Fenrir feel something, a strong feeling:
That is to follow the black hunter, there will be meat to eat! It will be safe!
If it weren't for the Black Hunters, their Dagger would still be in the Navy's abandoned research base, fighting the Black Whale Regiment.
Finn also asked:
“Is this really possible?”
Fen looked at Chenqi suspiciously.
The more she looked at Chen Qi, the more mysterious he seemed to her!
There shouldn't be any problem... Chen Qi explained:
“Everyone, you should know that I once relied on luck to obtain a treasure of a deep-sea hunter.
In addition to 'Fishing in the Storm', I also obtained a 'Monster Hunter Guide' from a deep-sea hunter. This guide records the weaknesses and habits of most monsters, so I have enough confidence even if I go deep into dangerous waters."
Fen: "Σ(⊙▽⊙"!"
There is also this matter!
You actually have a deep-sea hunter's guide to killing monsters!
Fen couldn't help but feel shocked. She had followed Chen Qi for so long, and a huge question in her heart was finally answered.
The Mad Wolf Fenrir also suddenly realized:
"I see. No wonder, Mr. Hunter, your title is Black Hunter..."
"Yes."
Chen Qi said honestly.
In fact, he does have the knowledge to deal with many kinds of monsters.
However, he seldom used this knowledge.
Everyone looked at each other without any objection.
Chen Qi picked up a pen and carefully planned a nautical chart.
Chen Qi silently turned around and looked at the ruins in the center of the abandoned navy research base.
Beneath the ruins, there seemed to be a huge monster hiding, a monster that was ready to make a move.
We have to leave quickly...Chen Qi shouted:
"Okay, in that case, everyone, follow this route! Break out of the encirclement!!"
"Yes, Captain! Everyone, get to work!"
The mad wolf Fenrir shouted loudly.
With the roar of the boiler, the Dagger's engine was pulled to the maximum, and like a fast fish, it rushed into the depths of the fog.
…
…
Boom! Boom!
Thunder and lightning continued to sound.
Under the inky black night sky, the Dagger was like a small boat, lonely and tenaciously shuttling through the storm with raging winds and huge waves.
The rain poured down like a waterfall, mercilessly hitting the deck, making a dense and rapid sound, which intertwined with the roar of the waves hitting the side of the ship to form a thrilling symphony.
Under the bottom of the ship, dark shadows kept squirming, trying to get close to the speeding ship.
The crew members held the ropes tightly, staggering, but dared not relax at all.
Once they are blown down by the wind, they become food for these shadows.
“It’s a heavy rainstorm.”
Chen Qi stood at the bow, letting the wind and rain wash over him. His eyes penetrated the rain curtain, searching for a direction to move forward in this chaos.
Chen Qi threw down an extraordinary fishing bait and at the same time released a strong "intention of expulsion" towards the "monster" under the sea.
As the bait fell into the sea, countless shadows under the deep sea quickly entangled and twisted together, like a herd of animals entangled for food.
As the monsters left, the Dagger's speed increased.
As expected of the Black Hunter, he is truly knowledgeable... The crew members in the storm breathed a sigh of relief.
Almost solved... Chen Qi clapped his hands:
"Mad Wolf, we are about to leave the Sea of Mist. The rest of the route is up to you."
"No problem! Leave it to me! Black Hunter! Thank you for your command!"
The mad wolf Fenrir, carrying a big knife, agreed generously.
After finishing the command, Chen Qi leaned against the box, took out the Hand of Remnant Fire from the Blade Witch Trial Ground, and played with it carefully.
The appearance of the Hand of Embers is like a ball of solidified flame, the size of a palm.
Inject spiritual power and try to manipulate...
Chen Qi took a breath.
With the infusion of spiritual power, part of the flame began to burn, and then quickly turned into a long burning hand, which then flew in the air.
Soon, the hand reached a length of two meters, and then the flames became fierce and violent! It began to twist and twitch!
So long! So twisted!
However, it is difficult to control...
Chen Qi tried to circulate his spiritual power, but he was completely unable to control this force.
"Qi, the Hand of Remnant Fire is made of deep blue fire, and this kind of fire requires a lot of spiritual power. Therefore, violent spiritual power is more suitable for controlling it..."
As the Flower Witch Fen spoke, she sat down next to Chen Qi very naturally.
"Violent spiritual power?"
Chen Qi manipulated the Hand of Remnant Fire according to Fen's method.
Soon, one, two, or even three flaming hands began to emerge from this small flame...
However, Chen Qi soon felt a lack of spiritual power and stopped operating.
"Huh, is this the Hand of Ember? It consumes so much energy..."
A smile appeared on Chen Qi's lips.
High consumption is not a shortcoming of the Hand of Ember;
Deep Sea Fire is an extremely rare resource on the Rift Tide!
On the Witch Sea, any relics related to the Deep Blue Fire are extremely powerful.
The residual fire on his body should also have a certain relationship with the deep sea fire.
Tick-tick!
In the storm, Fen slowly raised her head, and the flowers above her head were wilted by the heavy rain.
At this moment, Deep Sea Elf No. 2 came over with a leaf umbrella and shielded the two from the rain.
In the storm, Finn suddenly wiped his eyes and said:
"Qi, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be in this situation now, you wouldn't be hunted by Big Mom Carol, you wouldn't be targeted by the Black Lantern Dragon, and you wouldn't be in this situation..."
In Fern's opinion, it was her relationship that led to this series of events.
She is the one who started this story.
Fen... Chen Qi looked at the heavy rain in the distance:
"It's nothing..."
"Besides, my reward on the Navy's bounty order may not necessarily be lower than yours."
As the main character, the Flower Witch is closely related to the main plot.
However, the treasure obtained with the Flower Witch and the speed of growth far exceed other events!
This trip to the trial ground allowed Chen Qi's strength to rise to a huge level.
Blade Release, plus Bonfire Heart, Hound Steps, Psychic Skills, and Hands of Ember...
My foundation is solid now, and I can now find a way to advance to the third level.
It can be said that without the Flower Witch, he would not have been able to grow so fast!
The Flower Witch lowered her head, leaned on Chen Qi's shoulder, and whispered softly:
"Qi, what I gained from this trip is the witch's relic 'Blade Key'. Add to that the fourth-level career card in my hand, and my bounty will increase by at least 30 million shells!"
"Blade Key? Domain relic?"
Chen Qi asked in surprise.
According to the forum, this thing is an item that only a fourth-level extraordinary person can control!
Finn nodded:
"Yes, it is a relic that can release large-scale blade release beyond the rules. Although it is only a replica, it still has 20% of the performance. In addition, it is also the key to open the exclusive rift of the Blade Witch..."
Open the Blade Witch's exclusive crack and release a large-scale blade release...
This is what Finn got!
The witch's relic is really great, but it's useless to me... Chen Qi comforted him:
"Don't worry, Finn, nothing will happen. Besides, by then, it's not certain who will cause trouble to whom."
Chen Qi looked at the remaining fire hand in his hand and smiled slightly.
His record on the sea is becoming more and more astonishing. In the eyes of some people, his bounty value may not be lower than that of the witch.
Fin lowered his head, put it in his knees, and said silently:
"Well, Qi, according to the prophecy I received, war and disaster are about to come. If you want to stay alive, you'd better retreat into the city, into a safe organization..."
Chen Qi answered decisively:
"Not interested at all! Finn, hiding is useless. Only by standing on the top of the wave can you gain a foothold."
Finn was stunned for a moment:
"Only by standing on the crest of the wave... You, my teacher, and my parents are saying the same thing..."
In the heavy rain, Fen expressed his worries and then looked into the distance.
Above this sea, I am money... Fen slowly raised his head.
However, at this moment, it seemed to confirm what she said.
In the storm with dark clouds and roaring thunder, turbulent waves are rolling on the sea surface.
And under the gloomy dark clouds, a flag with a black background slowly emerged from the horizon, rising higher and higher!
On the black flag, there was a huge black whale. Along with the tremendous roar, the entire ship seemed to be making a huge whale roar!
This ship...Chen Qi frowned.
The ship in front of them was not an ordinary Black Whale pirate ship, but the ship of the cadre, the Queen of Gunfire, and Aunt Carol!!!
A fourth-order legendary ship!
"Adjust the port side! Retreat at full speed!"
The mad wolf Fenrir roared.
And at the bow in the distance, Aunt Carol blew a puff of the smoking, hot barrel of the gun:
“I walked around three times! Finally found it!
I repeat, we will only capture them alive on this trip!"
