Chapter 129: Little Green Algae
The Flower Witch’s tone remained ice-cold, as if the mere Deepsea Titan was nothing more than insignificant trash in her hands.
“Settle this matter! Black Hunter?”
Palu, rich in information, was stunned for a moment.
The other party’s tone was unexpectedly casual.
But he soon understood the identity of the Black Hunter!
Undoubtedly, it was the newly risen superstar who just robbed the Devil Ray, appeared on the bounty list, the Tentacle Monster with a bounty as high as ten million!
Although the Tentacle Monster’s bounty was only ten million, even less than the third-tier Black-Eyed Captain!
Daring to fight actively in a sea monster-filled Sea Monster Nest was already beyond reason!
The origin of the Tentacle Monster was not simple; its bounty should be worth at least twenty million!
The legendary Witch even had such a friend... Palu was secretly shocked and felt the Flower Witch had become even more mysterious.At this moment, Palu also deeply understood.
Unless his Ice Demon Pirates could show enough trust, he would not get any useful intelligence from the Flower Witch!
The crew was counting on me to bring back good news... Palu bowed and said:
“Witch, sorry for disturbing you at midnight, please forgive the offense. But our Ice Demon Pirates bear no ill will. We and the legendary Ice Witch are researchers of the ocean’s history, fighting for the secrets of the deep sea.
If there is any need for assistance from the Ice Demon Pirates, we are more than willing.”
Then, Palu gently rubbed his fingers:
“A die from the land of chaos, as an apology for my offense, though only a small token of respect.”
He then handed a six-sided die showing six to Chen Qi.
“What’s this?”
Chen Qi’s pupils suddenly shrank, and a special prompt quickly popped up before his eyes.
[Six-Sided Die:
Affinity: Die
Description: A six-sided die with all sides showing six, containing transcendent power that can alter luck.
Effect: Can alter the outcome judgment of random events in C-tier and below dimensional rifts. No matter how low the probability, the best result is guaranteed.
Note: A savior for the unlucky, with just a gentle move, luck is firmly in your hands!]
A six-sided die!
Chen Qi was suddenly shocked inside.
Is Palu really this generous?
In games, this is an extremely rare non-lucky exclusive item!
The greatest use of altering judgments is in the settlement of rift outcomes.
Some die-affinity rift rewards appear with extremely low probability special rewards!
For example, in D-tier rifts, getting C-tier or even B-tier rewards.
These are only rewards for the lucky!
Having this die means that even with only a 0.1% chance, you will get the best possible reward!
The six-sided die, defying fate!
Chen Qi accepted the die.
Then, Palu picked up his lute:
“Well then, Miss Witch, farewell. Wish you a pleasant night. If there is any need for the Ice Demon Pirates, please let us know.”
Though he had many questions, if he truly wanted to befriend her, snooping into these matters without permission would be impolite.
Before leaving, Palu gave Chen Qi a sympathetic glance.
The Flower Witch was indeed as mysterious as rumored.
He hoped that by morning, no floating corpse covered in flowers would appear at sea.
Palu took his lute and boarded a night-traveling vessel, leaving Sea Monster Island.
...
...
“Finally gone...”
Chen Qi let out a long breath. Honestly, he still wanted to buy some intelligence from Palu.
After Palu left, Chen Qi returned to his small houseboat.
At this moment, the extremely aloof Flower Witch, like a child frightened by a dragon, buried her face in a water spirit pillow.
If not seen with one’s own eyes, no one would believe this was the same cold-tongued witch from earlier.
The Flower Witch had endured too much in one day. If not for retrieving the floral aspect staff, her spirit would have already collapsed.
“What to do? What to do? Qi, we’re targeted by a fourth-tier legend!”
“Qi, why don’t you make something delicious? This might be our last meal!”
“Qi, do you have any wishes? Let’s fulfill them as soon as possible!”
“Qi, I want to eat the supernatural bait you make.”
The Flower Witch hugged the water spirit, lying weakly on the ground, her legs shaking nonstop.
Just now, the fourth-tier aura emitted by Palu nearly scared her soul out!
A fourth-tier legend is a force capable of moving mountains and overturning seas!
Even ten or fifty third-tier transcendent warriors might not defeat one fourth-tier legend; that’s the huge gap in strength!
To the Flower Witch, they had just been a hair’s breadth away from death.
Chen Qi sat on a chair and took out the Ice Demon Pirates’ sea map:
“Calm down. From the current situation, he probably means us no harm, and he seems afraid of you.”
Then Chen Qi took an apple from the fridge and handed it to the Flower Witch.
She took the apple and curled up silently in the corner:
“He’s afraid of me because of my teacher. But now, my teacher is gone.”
Chen Qi curiously asked, “Teacher?”
The Flower Witch paused for a few seconds. Normally, she shouldn’t have told Chen Qi this.
But after everything they’d been through, they could be considered trusted friends.
“Yes, my teacher, the Ice Witch.”
“The Ice Witch is your teacher?”
Chen Qi murmured.
Although he had guessed it long ago, the current situation still shocked him deeply!
The Ice Witch was a presence stirring tides hundreds of years ago, a deceased legend.
Even legends could not evade the Lantern Reaper’s pursuit after living beyond a hundred years.
The Flower Witch was no older than twenty. Ten years ago, she was just a sick little girl.
In other words, the Ice Witch had survived centuries ago and was still active in this sea ten years ago.
This was indeed an earth-shattering secret!
Chen Qi was delighted inside, never expecting the Flower Witch to reveal such a secret to him.
After speaking, the Flower Witch fell into self-blame.
She was too weak, powerless.
Without Chen Qi, not to mention avenging the Blackfin Crew in Sea Monster Gorge, she couldn’t have even reclaimed the floral aspect staff.
Chen Qi comforted her a bit and began dividing the spoils with the Flower Witch.
Among them, the Flesh Cleaver Bone Breaker was his exclusive weapon. The Flower Witch did not need melee weapons.
Chen Qi took his exclusive weapon Flesh Cleaver Bone Breaker and the lucky die.
As for the green-covered spellbook, the Joy Sprite, and the floral aspect staff, these three relics were useless to Chen Qi and were given to the Flower Witch.
Then, Chen Qi made some delicious fish balls to comfort the Flower Witch.
After eating her fill, the Flower Witch returned to the inn to shower, washing off the dirt and blood.
Chen Qi stayed on the small houseboat, with many things left to do.
“Phew...”
This operation not only gave him the exclusive Flesh Cleaver Bone Breaker and a powerful shadow affinity skill card but also two thousand spirit points from the shadow affinity rift!
These gains were already considerable!
However, he still had not found transplantable sea beasts.
Chen Qi wanted a safe and reliable economic source; ghostfire oil from the ghostfire fish was far from enough.
Moreover, he was currently in the development period, urgently needing transcendent materials to enhance his physique.
Unfortunately, sea beasts near Sea Monster Gorge were not easily transplanted and could not provide financial income.
Though the black-armored shark and great sea serpents were strong, they carried no valuable items.
“La la la la la~”
At this moment, a little green algae head emerged beside Chen Qi’s small houseboat, its green tentacle hair writhing on the sea surface.
It was a little sea witch...
Chen Qi confirmed no one was around, picked up Little Green Algae, and put it inside the cabin:
“Little Green Algae, is there something you want?”
The little green algae’s fishtail gently brushed the boat deck; it blinked its eyes:
“La la la la la~”
Deepsea Water Spirit Number Two immediately came over to Little Green Algae’s side.
It wanted food... Chen Qi thought for a moment and handed the supernatural bait to Little Green Algae.
It had actually chased so far just for food!
Little Green Algae obediently sat down, picked up a harp, and softly played:
“La la la la la~”
A travel song... Chen Qi was slightly startled.
Little Green Algae wanted to eat delicious food but also wanted to go outside Sea Monster Gorge to see the world!
Sea witches were typically social creatures, yet this one wanted to leave Sea Monster Gorge!
A unique little sea witch.
“Troublesome...”
Chen Qi scratched his head.
Unlike the Deepsea Water Spirits, sea witches were true monsters.
Moreover, sea witches couldn’t stay out of water for long. A juvenile sea witch’s combat ability was very limited and easily died suddenly.
If anyone discovered a sea witch inside his small houseboat—whether navy or Flower Witch—it would be difficult for him.
His only choice was to send the little sea witch to White Tree Shallows.
That place had Coastal Apex Predators and ghostfire fish, which should be fascinating to Little Green Algae.
Chen Qi sat in his chair and opened the Ice Demon Pirates’ map again, his eyes icy cold:
“Little Green Algae, do not sing casually without my order.”
Little Green Algae obediently nodded, then held Deepsea Water Spirit Number Two in its arms.
Chen Qi carefully studied the map.
The information from Palu was very interesting.
A Deepsea Titan appeared near the navy research base by Sea Monster Gorge.
A Deepsea Titan alone could attract countless deep-sea monsters.
Such an existence was called a natural disaster because it mysteriously appeared and disappeared periodically.
Mysteriously appearing, then mysteriously vanishing.
Just like storms, volcanic eruptions, and tides.
Chen Qi glanced at the time.
If it were daytime, heading there would likely get him discovered by the navy researchers.
Nighttime might be a good opportunity.
Chen Qi checked the map and crossed his legs.
Unlike the Flower Witch, after the robbery, he was not tired but felt incredibly energized!
So far, he had never seen a deep-sea monster stronger than the Blood-Eyed Wall.
This was the perfect chance to go take a look.
