Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

Accompanied by the ancient sun praise poem from the old man's mouth!

The old man spread his arms, with a lantern in his hand emitting a weak glow, as warm as the sun!

The moment the Hand of the Abyss saw the light, it trembled violently and plunged into the sea, as if it had never existed.

"Is it a Transcendent relic of the Lamp Phase..." Chen Qi was slightly startled, turned his head, and looked at the old man on the battered ship.

Next to him stood ten knights wearing triangular helmets, and a lady wearing a crow mask.

"It's the cloaked elder from the Dove Travel Ship, and Little Crow..."

Encountering them here?

Chen Qi had been looking for traces of Little Crow and the cloaked elder.

He had never expected to encounter them on the open sea.

The waters he was now active in were frequently visited by the Ghost Ship, a dangerous area where logically, no ship should be at night.

However, the current situation was dangerous!

On such a dark, windy night, a young, weak man wandering alone on the sea like him, was a target for many sea beasts and pirates!

After all, he was only a Second-order Transcendent.

Chen Qi swallowed nervously, preparing to speed up the ship.

However, the next second, he heard the sound of metal colliding.

A knight with a triangular helmet had just tied a chain to his houseboat.

At that moment, the cloaked elder let out a dry laugh,

"Young man, you are truly fortunate. We were on our way searching for the Ghost Ship and unfortunately encountered a group of Black Armor Sharks due to damage to our ship, and we've been stuck here for a full two days."

As he spoke, the corners of the cloaked elder's mouth twisted up:

"We never imagined, on such a dangerous dark night, during the whispers of the dark, we poor survivors would still encounter you."

"..."

Chen Qi, inside the captain's cabin, let a drop of cold sweat roll down his face through the window.

The White Cloak, one of the captains of the Sea God Pirate Group, with a bounty of twenty-five million Shell Coins, profession of the Void, and also mastering the release techniques!

At his side were ten knights with unknown strengths, wearing black triangular helmets.

The White Cloak was a true powerhouse, completely on a different level from the previous Kuang Sha.

Could I fight him?

Chen Qi thought for a moment.

Unless he could turn Little Crow against him, having her leg bend towards his arm, with his strength...

He might engage in a fierce battle with White Cloak, but the inevitable result would be White Cloak pressing him down and beating him into delirium.

In other words, he had no right to refuse them boarding his ship.

If he couldn't fight, then could he run?

Chen Qi thought again.

He could definitely run; as far as he could see, White Cloak had no capabilities to act in water.

And Little Crow was a Third-order Transcendent who could not walk on water.

With the assistance of the deep sea Water Elf and the Residual Fire Touch...

As long as he wanted to run, no one could stop him.

But as a price, he must also abandon his new ship.

Exactly, he was extremely curious about what this Sea God Pirate Group guy was up to... Chen Qi breathed out and said resignedly,

"Welcome aboard, everyone."

The moment he finished speaking, White Cloak and the ten knights with triangular helmets, along with Little Crow, had already reached his ship.

After boarding the ship, Little Crow and White Cloak quickly surveyed the vessel.

Little Crow murmured softly to herself,

"Ah, frolicking near the coast late at night, could this be a pirate ship specifically for kidnapping..."

Chen Qi let the ship maintain autopilot while stepping out of the captain's cabin:

"Everyone... welcome to the Water Elf Dining Ship? You all don't look too well, would you like something to eat?"

"Ah?"

Little Crow was startled, as if seeing a ghost!

"Chen! Chen! Chenqi!"

This isn't right!

Exhausted, she struggled to suppress her shocked expression.

Why was Chen Qi speeding on the boat late at night? Was he now playing so wildly? Was he really that bold at night?

White Cloak curiously asked:

"Do you... know each other?"

Lil' Crow calmed down:

"Have you forgotten, White Cloak, he is the chef we met on our cruise ship."

"A chef, a chef, so it's a chef..."

White Cloak's tense emotions relaxed:

"I thought I had encountered a ghost ship captain. Meeting a chef is indeed lucky, young man, why are you still hustling in the sea at night?"

"I was forced by life back then, otherwise who would idle around at sea, dancing the shadow stream dance with shadow demons? To buy this ship, I took on a massive debt."

Chen Qi thought of a reason and said despondently:

"To save money, I must catch fish myself and head to Flower Island to collect spices. I shouldn't have bought this ship... What about you? Why are you on this sea?"

"Such a pitiable young man, it seems, you were badly tricked by the unscrupulous banks of Shell Country. When I was young, debt collectors even cut off one of my eyes."

White Cloak took off his cloak.

He had a square face, sparsely white hair like dry straw, and a suppurating eye, his old face resembled cracked tree bark.

"As for our purpose, hunting the ghost ship captain, it offended me, and I must make it pay the price, unfortunately, during the process of hunting it, we encountered a shipwreck."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"That's incredible, you actually wanted to hunt a ghost ship captain?"

Chen Qi feigned surprise and frowned.

"It's not something worth mentioning. Unfinished business spoken aloud is just a joke."

After White Cloak finished speaking, he sighed deeply:

"We failed to successfully hunt the ghost ship, nor do we have another chance to hunt it."

He looked towards the distant dark sea and bitterly smiled:

"What a pity, what a pity, the first red moon in fifty years is about to descend. Even without eyes, the orders from Whale Father and Sea God are our fate, and we must execute our fate, spilling the witch's blood into the sea, weaving the black whale's blood into a new sun..."

"White Cloak!"

At this moment, Lil' Crow coughed twice.

This white-cloaked old man actually told the secret of their mission to the man before them!

And secrets are only told to the dead!

Moreover, White Cloak was completely deranged. He particularly enjoyed breeding pitch-black, twisted tentacles and sharks, feeding humans who disrespected the sea to the tentacles and sharks.

She could already envision the scene of Chen Qi being cleaned off by the tentacles and sharks bred by White Cloak.

Her assistant had barely survived...

Lil' Crow anxiously took out the backpack card, searching for the special potion to erase memories:

"Old White..."

However, the cloaked old man had no intention of stopping.

"Doctor Crow, please be quiet. This chef's ship is very fast; he is our benefactor, and we should not hide our secrets from our benefactor."

Though the tone was mild, at this moment, a tremendous spiritual pressure weighed down on Lil' Crow.

"..."

Lil' Crow stopped her actions.

Chen Qi stroked his chin.

It seemed that White Cloak's rank was at least one level higher than Lil' Crow's.

Enjoy new adventures from empire

Lil' Crow currently had absolutely no say.

White Cloak turned his head and opened his wrinkled eyes, revealing them like green snake eyes:

"Captain, your ship is indeed very fast, it truly fascinates me."

Chen Qi struggled to squeeze out a smile:

"Bonfire Energy Company has already settled in Moonstone City. I rented their latest energy core from them. If you want... you can rent from them completely."

Unexpectedly, White Cloak interrupted him and extended his dry palm:

"Mr. Chef, you may not know, we are followers of the Sea God Pirate Group. We worship the deep sea deities; those foolish mortals couldn't let us pass through the gates of Moonstone City..."

Trouble, trouble... Behind White Cloak, Lil' Crow bit her thumb.

Saying this, White Cloak pulled out some shriveled banknotes from his pocket:

"We need to implore power from the great beings of the deep sea because of these prejudices, we never had the chance to step foot inland..."

Directly exposing his identity? Chen Qi was stunned.

Now was not a good option to make a move.

At least, he needed to turn Lil' Crow against them before he could take any action!

He needed to find a way to delay... Suddenly, Chen Qi felt like he had found his group and bitterly smiled:

"Can we join your ritual? I feel, your ritual is lacking a person like me."
