Chapter 116: You Have Been Enhanced, You Are Invincible!
Chen Qi followed the direction of the singing, walking lightly on the water.
Guided by the small green algae, they soon arrived at the very center of the Sea Monster nest.
Great sea serpents, black-armored sharks, dark cloud jellyfish...
A large number of sea beasts gathered here, waiting silently.
Why were there so many sea beasts here?
Chen Qi slowly stopped and looked up.
There stood a massive coral reef platform.
And atop this platform was a huge harp, fully one and a half meters tall.
A forbidden relic—the Siren’s Harp!
Chen Qi remembered seeing this item mentioned in the game strategy guides.On the platform, there were as many as thirty beautiful and enchanting sea monsters!
Each sea monster looked like a princess, unforgettable at just a glance.
The sea monster in the center was two meters tall, with a meter-long tentacle-like long hair and a figure that made one’s blood surge with excitement.
It held a small harp and gently plucked it.
La la la~
A powerful harp song rang out!
Accompanied by the melodious harp, all the sea beasts in the coral reef area began to stir excitedly!
“Waku waku! (So beautiful!)”
The deepsea water spirits bounced and cheered happily.
The scene before them was like an open-air sea concert.
Only the performers were extremely dangerous sea monsters.
“Interesting...”
Chen Qi also felt a surging power within his body.
[You listened to the Siren’s Song - Song of Strength, your power has increased.]
Chen Qi felt this power again.
The sirens’ singing was not indiscriminate; they could produce different effects based on their will.
For example, the current song, under the sirens’ active control, was the Song of Strength on him.
For humans, this could very well be the Song of Fury that incites fratricidal rage.
The sea monsters had already noticed Chen Qi.
At first, they were startled, then bowed as if seeing a noble king.
Bowing again...
Chen Qi was taken aback; this was the first time he had encountered such a scene.
Unlike the silly coastal apex predators, the sirens were very intelligent and had learned many human etiquettes.
Bowing was their way of showing reverence.
Besides that, Chen Qi carefully sensed that the sirens could control their singing.
In other words, the sirens’ song would not harm him.
The sirens could be approached.
“I’m coming up...”
After confirming safety, Chen Qi climbed the coral reef steps to the platform.
This platform was the deepest part of the sirens’ nest!
Normally, it was the boss battle ground for human heroes!
As expected, there must be treasures here!
As a guest, it was only natural for him to take some things.
If all else failed, he could reward them with some delicious Supernatural Bait.
Chen Qi quickly scanned the surroundings.
Besides the harp, on the coral platform was a worn stone table.
On the table lay a necklace made of shells.
Chen Qi picked up the necklace.
A prompt appeared before his eyes.
[Siren Necklace:
Affinity: Floral, Heart
Effect: Necklace made by sirens; wearing it can resist the sirens’ aggressive singing and also prevents the wearer from being actively attacked by sirens.
Note: Legend says sirens give this to humans who defeat them in singing battles.]
Resisting the sirens’ singing and not being attacked by them!
Undoubtedly, this was a divine artifact in Sea Monster Gorge.
Chen Qi suddenly recalled.
The navy had once asked why Mad Shark dared to survive in Sea Monster Gorge and even regarded it as his own territory.
Now it seemed they might also possess this necklace.
Given to humans who defeat them in singing...
Chen Qi thought for a moment.
His musical talent could only be described in four words: ghostly wails and howls.
Is this thing really something I can take?
Chen Qi took a necklace and looked back at the sirens.
In an instant, three sirens, from somewhere unknown, each took out a shell necklace and handed them to Chen Qi.
“Hmph hmph~”
The small green algae also produced the siren necklace it had made and gave it to him.
“????”
Chen Qi looked at his hands.
In no time, he had five precious siren necklaces!
“Ah, this...”
Chen Qi was shocked; he seemed very popular.
If that was the case, could I also take this harp?
Chen Qi’s thoughts grew bolder as he walked to the giant harp and gently touched it.
[Siren’s Harp:
Affinity: Floral
Description: The legendary Siren’s Harp; melodies played on it combined with singing can unleash transcendent power that strikes directly at the soul.
Note: The use of this relic depends on your musical skill.]
Depending on the music played, the Siren’s Harp could display different transcendent powers.
A legendary item!
This was definitely a divine artifact to aid players!
Chen Qi swallowed hard; maybe he could become an excellent sea singer too.
“May I try it?”
Chen Qi asked.
The sirens’ blue eyes blinked and showed eager anticipation.
In their eyes, Chen Qi was an ancient breed from the border!
Perhaps he mastered some forbidden ancient music!
They were very eager to see what kind of music Chen Qi could play.
“Waku waku (Master, go for it!)”
The deepsea water spirits jumped.
“Well then, I’ll start.”
With everyone’s encouragement, Chen Qi gained confidence and began to play!
Perhaps now, after contacting the transcendent, he had an amazing musical talent?
He plucked the strings.
Dun dun dun!
Then, imitating the sirens, he tried to produce a hollow ethereal sound:
“La! La! La!”
Instantly, a fierce wind swept through the siren territory!
Every note, every sound, was filled with power and sorrow; this death song seemed to awaken the deepest fears and despair inside people, making one feel the fragility and impermanence of life!
The tentacles on the sirens’ heads twisted and writhed as they suddenly covered their ears!
Some sirens with weak spiritual power even fell to their knees.
Neither the harp sound nor the singing could be described.
It was like chaotic whispers from the border!
A song not meant to be seen! The prototype of the death song!
Even the great sea serpents and black-armored sharks, originally delighted to see Chen Qi, quickly dove into the sea bottom.
Waves surged again and again across the siren territory.
Fortunately, the singing did not last long.
With the last note falling, the sea returned to calm.
However, the air still carried a heavy and oppressive atmosphere, as if the fear and despair brought by this death song continued to spread.
The second deepsea water spirit, just now charmed, became extremely clear-headed after listening again and ran to Chen Qi’s feet to repent.
“So horrible...”
I really have no musical talent... Chen Qi stopped playing.
To unleash the true power of the Siren’s Harp, one must master transcendent musical arts.
However, to master transcendent musical arts, one must have transcendent musical comprehension of the floral affinity, meaning one must take a floral affinity related profession.
Therefore, his music just now could not cause substantial damage.
It could only cause some slight spiritual harm relying on the Siren’s Harp itself.
“I shouldn’t have played...”
Chen Qi remembered that the sirens were a race that revered music extremely.
If someone had superb musical skills, they would regard that person as a friend.
But those with poor musical talent would be seen as trash by the sirens, as pests of the world, useless small fry on the sea!
In other words, his performance just now might have caused the sirens’ resentment.
Chen Qi turned his head and saw that the sirens’ eyes, originally full of respect, now held an inexplicable awe!
“Why does it feel like they respect me even more?”
Could it be that I actually have musical talent? Chen Qi was puzzled.
At this moment, the two-meter-tall siren walked to Chen Qi’s side and summoned all the surrounding sirens together.
The sirens cleared their throats.
It was time to repay Chen Qi’s singing!
It seemed like they had gifts to give me? Chen Qi was surprised.
As the lead singing siren gently plucked the Siren’s Harp, the others joined in chorus.
“La la la la la la~”
Wait, this was the sirens’ grand chorus!
Chen Qi’s body trembled violently.
Legend said the sirens’ chorus gathered multiple dangerous songs, directly bringing death!
This was the Voice of Death!
Even a fourth-tier legend had to run when facing the sirens’ chorus!
The sirens probably weren’t trying to take revenge on me, right... Chen Qi’s heart pounded fiercely.
“La la la la la la la~”
The heavenly voice echoed underwater, intertwining with the resonance of the coral reef to form a mysterious and magnificent musical effect.
Multiple prompts quickly popped up before his eyes.
[You listened to the Song of Agility, Agility increased!]
[You listened to the Song of Strength, Strength increased!]
[You listened to the Song of Soul, Spiritual Energy Origin increased!]
[You listened to the Song of Healing, Life Recovery Ability increased!]
[You listened to the Song of Concealment, Concealment Ability increased!]
[You listened to the Song of Water Element, Surrounding Water will protect you!]
[You listened to the Song of Delay, all song buff effects extended!]
[You listened to the Song of Manhood...]
...
...
“So this is the sirens’ chorus...”
Chen Qi was stunned after listening to the chorus.
It wasn’t that terrifying after all, but rather somewhat comfortable.
At this moment, he had fifteen different singing buffs on him.
It seemed he had been enhanced by the sirens!
Feeling the surging power in his body, Chen Qi threw out a simple but solid energy punch!
Boom!
The seawater was compressed and torn apart by the powerful force, turning into countless water droplets flying through the air.
Then, the waves surged high like a white beast roaring in the storm, crashing heavily back onto the sea surface with a deafening roar.
“Now I seem a bit strong.”
Chen Qi never expected the sirens’ gift to be such a powerful temporary buff!
Its duration was one day, definitely enough for him to clear a D-tier dimensional rift.
Not to mention clearing a D-tier rift, Chen Qi even felt he could rob a pirate ship now.
He even had a hunch that he could hold his own in a fight against a third-tier transcendent.
Just then, the small green algae came over carrying a delicate small box and handed it to Chen Qi.
Was I a bit too popular...
Although the sirens didn’t like to ask for pets like the coastal apex predators, it was obvious they liked him quite a bit.
Especially after he put on Ember’s Touch.
Chen Qi took the box and slowly opened it.
