Chapter 123: Whose Successor Are You?
Transcendent creatures themselves tend to hunt for food with high spiritual essence first.
The Flower Witch, born with a special constitution, was targeted by many monsters when she was young while practicing.
Because of this, she mockingly fantasized about becoming an excellent shield-and-axe warrior, a glorious dragon slayer in her childhood.
Later, she realized that under the influence of Blood Blossom Disease, even moving around was difficult.
The Flower Witch’s eyes moved up and down blankly as she stared at the bait ball in Chen Qi’s hand.
Chen Qi casually threw out another piece of supernatural bait.
Then, the black-armored shark and the great sea serpent, whose sizes were at least ten times theirs, happily ran over to eat the bait.
Just like feeding little kittens and puppies...
They completely ignored her!
Unbelievable! Not at all like the sea bullies she imagined!What exactly was added to this supernatural bait ball? An aphrodisiac?
Could it be that this supernatural bait really tasted better than hers?
The Flower Witch swallowed and even felt like trying a bite herself.
Chen Qi noticed the Flower Witch’s gaze and said seriously:
“Fen, do you know?
In our chef community, true skill is definitely not just about satisfying the appetite of ordinary humans.
A truly elegant chef’s real goal is to satisfy the appetites of all creatures in this world.
In ancient eras, our chefs could satisfy not only humans but all sorts of beings, like vampires, dragons, succubi, slimes, sea witches, and so on!
For example, the legendary fourth-tier profession ‘Great Dragon Chef’ can only advance by conquering the taste buds of a top-tier dragon through cooking.
This is also recorded in ‘Basic Qualifications of a Chef.’”
Chen Qi casually made up this story with a serious face.
The perfected Soul Seasoning he made into the supernatural bait was considered a delicacy for both humans and sea beasts.
Therefore, as a chef, it was normal for him to produce food that attracted sea beasts.
Of course, although the supernatural bait was delicious, Chen Qi himself was also a key reason they obediently ate it.
“Lesson learned...”
The Flower Witch felt Chen Qi made a lot of sense.
She suddenly realized that the much-criticized chef profession in the transcendent world actually had this hidden power!
Above them, the ignored Mad Shark gripped the ship’s railing and roared:
“Didn’t expect there’d be a reckless little fish.”
Mad Shark mocked verbally but remained cautious inside.
His eyes fixed tightly on Chen Qi.
Though his face was obscured, the clothes he wore were clearly the most popular tattered hunter outfit from last century.
Yet, spreading over the tattered hunter clothes were some translucent, illusory tentacles.
It was like a strange hybrid between a hunter and a tentacle monster.
Besides that, even though he only had a second-tier aura, he could stand steadily on the sea just like the Witch!
Surrounded by sea beasts, he still maintained his composure.
And why did this person also have his ancestral Siren Necklace?
Could his father have lied to him, that the Siren Necklace was wholesale?
Too many questions swirled in Mad Shark’s mind:
“Kid, I don’t kill unknown nobodies! Tell me your origins!”
Chen Qi didn’t answer but silently took out the Collector and loaded bullets.
There was nothing to say to a dying prey.
First, he loaded two regular bullets, then two Spiral Magic Bullets.
Mad Shark spat out a mouthful of blood qi:
“Kid, you’re not the Sea God Pirates’ newly minted genius, the Deep Sea Hunters’ nemesis successor, are you?”
Who?
Successor of the Deep Sea Hunters’ nemesis?
Chen Qi couldn’t recall who he was referring to.
After a legend dies, many strange successors always appear.
In the Witch Sea, there seemed to be a well-known powerhouse—Hag.
He claimed to be the successor of the Azure Beast, the Deep Sea Hunters’ nemesis, vowing to make the world feel the ocean’s terror!
But what did this have to do with me?
Chen Qi thought for a moment. He had started out mastering Hunter Ember, so he was obviously the successor of the Deep Sea Hunters!
What did the successor of the deep sea monsters have to do with him?
“Completely wrong guess.”
Chen Qi spun his gun and aimed at Mad Shark.
Bang! Bang!
Two bullets hit Mad Shark’s body, splattering tiny drops of blood.
The body of a third-tier transcendent was no longer vulnerable to ordinary bullets.
The Flower Witch gripped her staff and cast a barrier:
“Qi, calm down. He’s already hit by my Blood Blossom Technique. His life force is constantly being drained by flowers. As long as we don’t get close, we’ll win.”
Stay steady, don’t be reckless!
The sea wind roared continuously.
Just as the Flower Witch said, Mad Shark was bleeding profusely and heavily wounded.
Not that simple... Chen Qi reminded:
“Fen, be careful. He might have a second phase...”
Boom!
Mad Shark suddenly leapt off the ship, standing on the sea:
“Witch, monster, your only mistake was stepping into my territory!”
The moment he stood on the sea, the sea beasts sensed the black whale’s aura and scattered in all directions.
So what if bait can temporarily lure sea beasts? His black whale aura could suppress them!
Shark Wave Fist!
He threw another punch at the Flower Witch!
A huge tidal wave shark composed of abundant water elements gathered on his fist!
Basic attack technique!
The Flower Witch chose not to defend but quickly condensed spiritual energy and used her specialty.
Boom!
The two attacks collided, stirring a huge wave and roaring thunderously!
The waves fell.
“Cough cough...”
The Flower Witch clutched her bleeding abdomen, struggling to stand steadily.
Mad Shark’s condition was even worse—flesh and blood shredded, pale bones exposed.
Mad Shark gritted his teeth.
No, he couldn’t defeat the Flower Witch and was close to death!
He spat out a lot of fresh blood and turned his head to shift his target.
He couldn’t beat the Flower Witch, but he could defeat Chen Qi.
Right now, the only choice he could think of was to take this second-tier transcendent as a hostage.
Then, with the power of black whale blood, he could pass through the sea full of beasts!
Finally, he could casually toss Chen Qi into the sea as food for the beasts, take the relic, and escape smoothly.
Pick on the weak!
If the other really was the successor of the deep sea monster Azure Beast!
Then, by pirate rules, killing Chen Qi would make him the new successor!
Harboring such thoughts, Mad Shark took out a black blood chunk from his Backpack Card:
“Damn it, come on! If you two have the guts, kill me!”
Half of the black whale blood Little Crow gave him remained!
He opened his mouth and bit into the wriggling chunk of great whale blood like devouring a heart.
However, the moment he swallowed the black whale blood, his body suddenly bulged again, steel clashing sounds echoed like a writhing black mountain.
On his back, a row of sharp dorsal fins sprouted fiercely, just like a shark’s fins.
Crack! Crack!
Sharp teeth grew on both sides of his mouth, glinting with a chilling cold light that sent shivers down the spine.
