Chapter 360 God cannot be insulted!
A cold sea breeze blew by, and the huge, dilapidated city fell into a brief tranquility.
Under the attack of the waves, the statue of Poseidon still stands tall. The cold and ruthless eyes under the hundred-meter-long robe exude the domineering power of the deep sea, maintaining its supreme dignity!
"Sea God..."
Chen Qi also vaguely felt the embarrassment of the Sea God.
Under normal circumstances, a Deep Sea Titan in the Sea Coffin would cost more than twelve thousand ancient coins even if it was sold at the lowest price.
What's more, this is already the price of the many fish he had donated before.
The tentacle merchants and many monsters raised their heads. They believed in the god who allowed them to survive in the coffin of the sea, and waited quietly for God's instructions!
Chen Qi had heard about some gods in the New Sun world in the forum.
Most gods, although powerful, must also follow certain laws and certain rules.
Especially the bound gods, if they cannot maintain certain principles of their own, they will become extremely weak.
As the god of the sea, he is in charge of maritime trade. In the era when the sea was prosperous, he was the guardian of the trade of the Kingdom of Bei. He is the god of Bei and Liu Xiang, and represents fair trade in the sea.
Even when there is only a statue of Poseidon in the Coffin of the Sea, his laws still affect the many brutal and cold monsters in the sea and maintain the Code of the Sea!
As the god of business, the business principle of fair trade is his law!
Poseidon, how could he owe money? Chen Qi thought silently in his heart.
Jingle bells! Jingle bells!
The statue of Poseidon did not give up, and the huge scale in its hand kept shaking.
As it continued to shake, two more crooked ancient coins appeared on the scale!
With its unremitting efforts, it successfully took out two ancient coins!
It turned out to be 12,002 ancient coins!
The little crow looked at this scene and whispered softly:
"Poseidon... is it out of money?"
"Shut up!"
The tentacle merchant puffed out his chest, looked at the little crow with devilish eyes, and said sternly:
"God cannot be insulted!"
As the protector of the Merchant's Coffin, how could the great Sea God owe money to two little adventurers!
This is blasphemy!
The tentacle merchant bit his own tentacle hair:
"The Code of the Sea is not something you can violate, you weak ant!"
The tentacle merchant turned its head and stretched out its sticky little hands, ready to teach the blasphemer crow a lesson.
However, the next second, a biting coldness came from behind the tentacle merchant.
The tentacle merchant turned her head suddenly, and saw that the bronze eyes under the robe above the hundred-meter statue were staring at her.
The sea god still has a will!
Poseidon, do you want me to imprison these adventurers... The tentacle merchant rubbed his hands together, eager to try.
Runes of shells, scales, and stars appeared on the body of the Poseidon statue, conveying its will:
"This is my divine domain. My believers uphold my principles. When you see them, you see me."
"???"
Chen Qi was confused.
He never imagined that the God of the Sea could convey such clear words.
But what does this mean? Chen Qi turned around and suddenly found that all the monsters took a step back.
The tentacle merchant's pupils shrank sharply, her mouth opened wide, and she looked at the supreme statue of Poseidon in disbelief.
The words of Poseidon just now, translated into human language, are:
Its business is the business of its believers!
Therefore, the rest of the money is given by his followers!
For this purpose, Poseidon specifically designated a Sea Coffin, the most devout and prestigious believer.
The monsters protected the tentacle merchant in front of them.
The statue of Poseidon finally tipped the scales, promising a final price.
Chen Qi's sacrifice can be exchanged for a total of 22,000 ancient coins.
Such a huge amount of ancient currency is an indescribable sky-high price even for these monster merchants!
Chen Qi's mouth opened slightly.
Is there such an operation?
It turns out that when the gods are short of money, they can ask believers to pay them back. No, to be precise, this is how believers are supposed to use the money... Chen Qi suddenly realized.
However, what was even more surprising was the arrogant tentacle witch behind him.
She was chosen!
"well?"
"Ah, ah, ah?"
The tentacle merchant waved his arms and tentacle hair, looking completely bewildered.
If Poseidon had not given her power, she would really like to give him the middle finger.
The tentacle merchant smiled bitterly and made a prayer gesture:
"But, great Poseidon, this amount of money is still too much even for me..."
Part of the tentacle merchant's money will be donated to the sea god, and part will be eaten to enhance their own strength, and also exchanged for food with other merchants.
The tentacle merchant now has only two thousand ancient currencies in his pocket, plus the money paid by the Black Whale Group.
In response to the tentacle merchant's prayers, the great statue of Poseidon stood in the waves, silent.
Chen Qi looked at the poor little tentacle and said in a deep voice, as if he were a priest:
"Little tentacle, reflect on yourself. Have you not worked hard enough these days? Have you not made enough money to offer to the great sea god?"
"?"
The tentacle merchant turned his head and looked at Chen Qi with almost resentful eyes.
As the richest and most hardworking merchant monster in the Sea Coffin.
While other monsters were resting and hibernating, she was out alone driving a merchant ship, salvaging sunken ships, and seducing extraordinary people!
And all of this is for the great sea god, so that he can have enough power in the rift tide to conquer the real world!
However, facing the humiliation inflicted upon her by the adventurers, the Sea Goddess remained speechless.
The balance of the Poseidon statue shook slightly, and a parchment scroll of "Debt Contract" engraved with mysterious runes flew into Chen Qi's hands.
Afterwards, the statue of Poseidon fell into a deep sleep without saying a word.
Chen Qi picked up the parchment scroll and whispered:
“I will use 10,000 ancient coins to exchange for the engine of the Underworld Sea Boat.
According to the contract, little tentacle merchant, you still owe me 12,000 ancient coins."
The tentacle merchant was completely stunned.
Before the sacrifice, these two people were lambs who were deceived and had to pay back!
Why do I need to give them money after the sacrifice!
This is not fair!
Could it be that, in the eyes of the Sea God, I am not even as good as a fourth-level adventurer... The tentacle merchant's heart was gradually infected by boundless sadness and was on the verge of losing control.
The little crow hid behind Chen Qi and said:
"God cannot be insulted."
God's will cannot be violated... The tentacle merchant blinked and whispered:
"Correction, it's 11998 ancient currency."
Since it is the rule of the Sea God, she must complete it.
Her little feet stepped on the cold ground:
"Come with me, I will install the engine of the Underworld Boat for you."
"200 ancient coins for the installation fee."
Two hundred ancient currency installation fee! Chen Qi added:
"According to the market conditions, 100 ancient coins is about right."
"you……"
The tentacle merchant suppressed his anger and brought Chen Qi and the other man to the dock in the ruined city.
As Chen Qi walked, he observed the tentacle merchant's back.
Compared to monsters in other rifts, the tentacle merchants obviously have higher rationality and wisdom.
Sure enough, these "monsters" were once human beings... Chen Qi thought secretly.
These small tentacles may have been transformed by the power of the deep sea.
He is just affected by the power of deep sea blood, but he is not born with deep sea blood.
This may also be the key reason why his deep-sea affinity has not fully taken effect.
A moment later, the tentacle merchant emerged from her collection boathouse, holding up a spherical object three times taller than she was...
That was... Chen Qi's pupils suddenly contracted.
I saw a spherical engine constantly shaking in the tentacle merchant's hand. Every time it shook, it would create a circle of ripples on the sea surface.
The core of the engine was surrounded by circles of blue will-o'-the-wisp flames. These flames jumped and flickered, but did not emit any heat. Instead, they emitted bursts of cold and distant light, like stars in the netherworld.
The runes under the will-o'-the-wisp fire vaguely show ancient runes and unknown totems intertwined and entangled. They slowly flow with the rhythm of the flames, releasing a powerful lamp power!
This engine far exceeds any engine Chen Qi has ever seen. Its power is so huge that it exceeds Chen Qi himself.
Even if it consumes a huge amount of space leap engine, it is afraid that it will not cause any damage to the engine.
The tentacle merchant explained:
"This is the former Noah's Engine. According to legend, it was created by the hammer-type demigods Crucible Hammer and Cold Blade."
"Of course, although its energy is huge and stable, it is not infinite. It needs to be replenished with deep sea spiritual power regularly to recover."
After explaining, the tentacle merchant asked:
"By the way, where is your ship?"
Chen Qi pointed to their Ghost.
"Um?"
Looking at the Ghost, the Tentacle Merchant couldn't help but curl his lips, revealing a look of contempt:
"This ship of yours feels like a ghost ship, but in terms of capability, it can only be regarded as a replica of a replica, a shrimp among shrimps, a junker among junks."
The tentacle merchant pouted:
"As expected, weak humans can only use broken and weak gadgets."
"A knockoff of a knockoff..."
Chen Qi did not refute.
If it is in a B-level crack, the Ghost, which has the ability to jump through space, is undoubtedly a good ship.
However, if placed in the A-level crack, this is undoubtedly just an ordinary ship.
It is strong enough to withstand storms and volcanic rains, but it cannot navigate in molten lava and the air, let alone dangerous rifts.
Just from this one day's voyage, the biting cold caused many cracks to appear on the Ghost, and its speed was greatly reduced.
The tentacle witch seized the opportunity to pay back the money and tried to arouse Chen Qi's desire to consume:
"My dear guest, although you are weak and can die at any time, if you have a good ship, you will be a strong man in the Sea Coffin."
She needs to pay off this debt as soon as possible to maintain her sanity:
"Do you want to buy a ship or build one?"
"shipbuilding."
Chen Qi went to the shipyard and found that most of the ships sold by Merchant Coffin were cursed ships.
Therefore, the best way is to dismantle the parts of these cursed ships and build a new ship.
The deal is done! The tentacle merchant rubbed his little tentacles together:
"For only 12,000 ancient coins, we can build you a ship that can sail freely in the Ocean Coffin and pass through the deep-sea Titan territory..."
Twelve thousand ancient coins! The little crow held the lantern and muttered behind Chen Qi:
"Um, Miss Tentacle?"
"What's wrong? You're just a piece of trash worth only an ancient coin!"
The tentacle merchant bared his fangs and cursed.
In her eyes, if Chen Qi was a small fry, then the little crow was just a shrimp.
If it weren't for the will of the Sea God, she would have ignored the two adventurers long ago.
The little crow whispered:
"I heard that the God of the Sea is the god of fair trade... Is twelve thousand a reasonable price? I don't know how much ancient currency is needed to build a new ship."
The little crow looked at the tentacle merchant and added:
"If I'm worth one ancient coin, I think it should be cheaper to build a ship? By the way, Miss Tentacle, how much ancient coin are you worth?"
The little crow mustered up his courage and asked as politely as possible.
She wanted to find out the 'price standard' mentioned by the tentacle merchants through questioning to help Chen Qi's transaction.
How much ancient currency am I worth? I am not even as good as an adventurer... The tentacle merchant curved his eyebrows and smiled politely:
"The followers of Poseidon are priceless."
"As a friend, I can give you a discount. For three thousand ancient coins, I can help you transform the ship. Don't worry, these three thousand ancient coins include the best building materials for the Sea Coffin."
"After the transformation, your ship will have the defensive power of a deep-sea titan."
The tentacle merchant tried hard to give a 'reasonable' price.
Three thousand ancient currencies, there are still nine thousand left... Chen Qi touched his chin.
The reward brought by the sacrifice of this deep-sea titan was far beyond his imagination!
Unfortunately, this statue of Poseidon was really poor and went bankrupt after sacrificing a Titan.
If the statue of Poseidon had not collapsed, Chen Qi even felt that he could buy the entire Merchant's Coffin.
I wonder if there are richer deep-sea gods in other places... Chen Qi thought to himself.
Then he walked to the seaside and looked at the many goods on the tentacle merchant's boat.
As he looked at it, he asked:
"Little tentacle, how long does it take to build a ship?"
Tentacle Merchant says:
"If it's a ship that can rival the Deep Sea Titan, four days..."
Four days...Chen Qi opened the map and asked for some detailed information about the ships.
If we don't build a new ship, it will take about four days to continue from this place and reach the Witch's Coffin, even with some unexpected events.
And within four days, Fen's food, medicine and injuries became a huge problem.
Chen Qi weighed the pros and cons for a moment.
With the speed of the new ship, and the continuous use of space jumps, it would only take them about a day to reach the Witch's Coffin.
Most importantly, Fen, who is seriously ill, can recuperate for some time.
The time for both is about the same... Chen Qi thought about it and decided to stay in the merchant's coffin and wait for the ship to be built.
At the same time, he must also find a way to spend all the remaining "debt"!
Nine thousand years of ancient currency! If this were put into reality, it would be a sky-high price among sky-high prices, enough to empty the mysterious shops of multiple legendary merchants!
"Little crow, let's take a break..."
Chen Qi said silently.
Hearing a break…the tentacle merchant took a step back.
Chen Qi took out the communication radio device, passed the message to the Ice Demon Pirates, and then began to observe the tentacle merchant's collection.
Chen Qi vaguely remembered that among the tentacle merchant’s collection, there were some props that could greatly enhance his strength.
Chen Qi scanned them one by one.
"The Ice Saint Necklace can increase your comprehension of ice."
"The forbidden weapon of the Winter Kingdom, the Blizzard Blade."
"Enhances reproductive desire, a fertile seed of vitality."
"'Shadow Blade', 'Undying Dragon Heart' Forbidden Skill Cards."
"The Coffin of Condensation, Forging Method of Azure Fire, and Origin of Deep Blue Fire written by famous researchers..."
"The blood of the Tyrannosaurus Rex enhances the power of the Flesh and Blood Colonization Suit..."
"Cold medicine to relieve extreme cold..."
Weapons, books, medicines, everything... Chen Qi didn't hesitate at all and bought everything he saw that might be useful!
Chen Qi coughed and said:
"I want everything I point to."
"guest!"
The tentacle merchant was excited to sell things, but unfortunately, the goods on these small boats were all priced, so she couldn't raise the price.
Soon, a pile of extraordinary resources piled up beside Chen Qi.
Among them, there are not only medicines to treat Finn, but also props that can help the little crow and Finn grow!
In the end, Chen Qi spent a staggering total of four thousand ancient currencies!
There are still five thousand ancient coins left... Chen Qi said secretly.
Under normal circumstances, if a legend wants to be qualified to break through to the fourth level, it requires long training, time, and the accumulation of countless resources.
The items purchased from these A-level cracks can greatly enhance his strength, and even allow him to quickly cross the long growth period of the legend!
However, after all his extravagant purchases, he still had five thousand ancient coins!
There is no way I can spend all the money...Chen Qi was a little worried.
Unlike other money, this sum of money exists in the form of 'debt'.
If you can’t spend all the money in the cracks, you won’t have the chance to spend it later!
Go find other merchants to buy some materials and see if you can find suitable equipment? Chen Qi couldn't help but get tangled up.
The Tentacle Merchant called the shipwright of the Merchant's Coffin and whispered:
"Dear guest, your shipbuilding service has been arranged. Do you need to buy anything else?"
The tentacle merchant bent over, rubbed his little tentacles, and a greedy look flashed in his eyes!
Chenqi is a big customer!
What else can I buy... Chen Qi couldn't help but think of the subsequent Witch Coffin Operation.
Chen Qi vaguely remembered that in the original story line, the Ice Witch was resurrected at a time when the countries were at war.
At that time, the evil Flower Witch killed the Bloody Blade Pirates' archenemies, three highly respected navy admirals. Finally, she gained the support of the Bloody Blade Pirates and the Blade Witch and became a well-deserved hero of the Bloody Blade Pirates.
Finally, she joined forces with the Blood Blade Pirates and set out for the Witch's Coffin during the weak time of the battle between the Tower of Books and the Black Whales!
In the end, Finn, at the cost of more than 90% casualties of the Blood Blade Pirates, his own hand, 20 years of life, and the Blood Blade Pirates' secret treasure, briefly gained the power of a saint and barely resurrected the Ice Witch.
However, because Chen Qi changed the timeline, the situation in the Witch Sea has become confusing.
Because the Black Whales put a lot of their legends into dealing with the Black Hunter, the Blood Blade Pirates have already completed part of their revenge plan on their own.
And now, the situation in the Witch's Coffin is even more serious.
The Black Whale Group and the Blue Beast have joined forces, but the exact number of troops they have dispatched remains a mystery.
This incident concerns the coming of the Ice Witch and the future of the entire Witch Sea.
Chen Qi shook his head, having a bad feeling.
As expected, in this battle, the Black Whales and the Blue Beasts used all their available strength to stop them!
At the witch's coffin, a terrifying black whale might already be waiting for them.
We must make more preparations for the decisive battle at the Witch's Coffin, otherwise, there will most likely be serious casualties... Chen Qi thought.
What else can I buy to increase my combat power?
Chen Qi thought about it and couldn't help but lock his eyes on the flattering tentacle merchant in front of him.
