Chapter 184: Evolve! Deepsea Water Spirit No.1!
Chapter 184: Evolve! Deepsea Water Spirit No.1!
I would have such a dream...
Chen Qi felt slightly puzzled.
Although he possessed Deep Sea Affinity, to be honest, as a mentally and physically normal player, he wasn't particularly interested in tentacles nor had any desire to kidnap innocent merchant ships.
After all, appearing in the ocean with such an image would ultimately result in being eliminated as an oceanic heretic by the Beiguo Meteorological Bureau.
But an explanation was necessary, otherwise... Chen Qi imitated the Flower Witch's starting gesture, waving his hand as he said:
"Do you know?
In our Beiguo's Witch Sea region, there are many mysterious legends circulating, including some obscure ones, like the legend of the Yellow-Clad One. It's said that on the great seas, the yellow robes can extinguish storms and are the fishermen's nightmares.
According to the famous dream researcher Flo's 'Study of Dreams' from the Lamp affinity, dreams are usually chaotic, contradictory, and complex.
So all this is normal, everything you saw was false, I absolutely have no intention of becoming a Deep Sea Ancient God."
Chen Qi finished speaking in one breath, trying hard to explain."......"
Little Crow took a deep breath, revealing a slightly contemplative expression.
Though in Chen Qi's view, this seemed somewhat abnormal.
But from her perspective as a doctor, it was completely normal.
She was after all a doctor, and although Beiguo's level of perversion couldn't compare to the Goldenfinch Kingdom, its unique thought processes were still in a league of their own.
Many people dreamed of becoming oceanic calamities.
But in reality, humanoid deep sea calamities on the Witch Sea usually died very quickly.
Little Crow smiled calmly and said in a composed doctor's tone:
"Those with Sea Beast Disease all have a chance of dreaming about such things, I can understand. When I was little, I also dreamed of growing crow wings, cat ears, demon horns, tentacles and such, and even wanted to transform into a Disaster Witch to rule the world. There were also some strange illnesses, like biting one's own fingers, arms..."
"Oh?"
Wait... Chen Qi looked at the distant scene and noticed something odd.
It was ten, no, eleven parts wrong!
Simply put, his face was somewhat round, somewhat handsome, and his figure was extremely tall.
Would I give myself beauty filters in my own dream? Is that scientific?
Moreover, the expressions of enjoyment on those entangled by tentacles were also very wrong!
Like this: (> v <)!
Why does this expression seem familiar...
There's a blind spot!
In the distant scene.
Suddenly, a giant Deepsea Water Spirit leaped from the sea, landing in the Yellow-Clad One's hands.
Then, the Yellow-Clad One began frantically petting the Water Spirit's little head, while the tentacles also released their grip on those people.
All those released from the tentacles on the merchant ship revealed jealous looks!
Subsequently, Water Spirit No.3 showed a '(> v <)' expression.
In the Water Spirit's heart, no one could resist their master's comfortable massage techniques.
"Hiss............"
So this was Water Spirit No.3's dream, was it because of the Black Hunter's form... Chen Qi fell into thought, then looked at the Deepsea Water Spirit No.3 in his hands.
Deepsea Water Spirit No.3 shyly trembled, showing a happy expression:
"Waku waku (Master! So handsome!)"
Chen Qi coughed twice and said seriously:
"Let me reiterate, this is the Water Spirit's dream. I'm a proper adventurer on the seas, without any boring ideas, this has nothing to do with me..."
He knew it, how could he possibly have such a strange dream!
"Huh?"
Was I tricked... Little Crow remained silent for a long time before speaking:
"I also... don't have those strange ideas, those were all my friend Siren's thoughts, she dreams every day of becoming a sea witch and capturing all the men of the Witch Sea."
"Huh? Friend?"
"Mmm... I have a friend."
Little Crow smiled faintly, pretending she hadn't said anything.
Chen Qi smiled while looking at the distant sea.
To be honest, though Little Crow seemed weird, she was actually much, much more normal than he'd imagined.
Countless dreams burned in the flames.
Joking around, the two sat on the beach as if in a cinema, watching those illogical, extremely blurry movies in the distance.
White Cloak dreamed of receiving the Illusion Beast's blessing, becoming an evil entity above the seas, finally transforming into an abyssal Shadow Demon in the storm.
Little Crow dreamed of getting into the Goldenfinch Kingdom's Medical Academy, earning a fortune, and instead of being recruited by Beiguo's intelligence bureau, becoming an outstanding fourth-tier Goblet affinity legendary healer, yet staying in a small town as a village doctor.
She also dreamed of performing human alchemy, reviving her deceased grandmother and relatives at the cost of losing an arm.
There was also the Illusion Beast's dream, where Chen Qi merged with the Illusion Beast, evolving to devour the sea's calamity.
And Chen Qi was surprised to find his dream was actually fighting a giant Deep Sea Hunter's finger, finally defeating it after an arduous blade clash.
Not only that, but also dreams of developing a massage industry and hot spring services using Water Spirits, and a bodyguard business using Coastal Apex Predators, making a fortune, eventually capturing the legendary Sea Lantern Fox, becoming a Beiguo magnate without leaving home, advancing to fourth-tier legendary status, and enjoying life.
Little Crow was completely dumbfounded watching, increasingly convinced that dreams are strange.
"I actually had such weird dreams..."
Chen Qi chuckled.
Besides these, there were also illusions from other strangers.
In the distant flames, a woman in white noble light armor with a high ponytail led a little girl with flowers growing on her arm, walking out of a centuries-old monastery, brutally slaughtering an adult Bloodmoon Sea Dragon to death with just a self-defense dagger.
On that enormous wave, the light-armored woman stood on the sea dragon's spine-covered back, slowly opening her eyes.
In the raging flames, her blood-stained gaze seemed to pierce through time and space, staring at them...
"The Ice Witch..."
Little Crow recognized the person in the flames, whose appearance was unmistakably the legendary Ice Witch.
Nowadays, in people's impressions, the Ice Witch was a deity like the Sea Goddess, protecting sailors' safety, but according to some history books, the reason she was called a witch was because of her bloody and cruel combat style.
And the Ice Witch specialized in eliminating scourges of the seas!
"Am I being targeted?"
The more Little Crow thought about it, the colder she felt. As one of the masterminds summoning the Illusion Beast, her notoriety was about to surpass the Black Hunter's.
"Don't worry..."
Chen Qi carefully observed the distant scene, lost in thought.
The one beside the Ice Witch was most likely a young Flower Witch.
The young Flower Witch didn't have many flowers, looking quite cold and stern—how did she become so comical when grown up?
Meaning this event happened over a decade ago.
As the flames continued burning, a man in a blood-stained robe stood on a small boat.
And the Ice Witch wasn't glaring at them, but likely at the Blood Hunter from the Blackfin Crew deep in the Sea of Fog, behind whom was a pitch-black ship wrapped in chains.
This must be the battle between the Ice Witch and the Blackfin Crew... Chen Qi thought.
Now, the flames gradually diminished, and the dreams slowly disappeared...
Blood Hunters hunt all traitors... Little Crow unconsciously bit her finger.
"About time."
Chen Qi checked the time and stretched.
They needed to leave quickly. Although the Illusion Beast had died, its massive impact would surely attract the Beiguo Meteorological Bureau's attention.
"Next is retrieving Deepsea Water Spirit No.1..."
Chen Qi looked toward the sea.
Where was Deepsea Water Spirit No.1? No.1 should have fully recovered by now, right?
Chen Qi gazed at the distant sea.
After reviving, No.1 was swimming wildly around the ocean, curiously looking everywhere, especially at its master's dreams.
Suddenly, a deep blue crystal rich with oceanic aura caught its attention.
What's that, the Illusion Beast's drop, or something else... Chen Qi wondered.
"Waku waku (Yummy!)"
But before Chen Qi could react, Deepsea Water Spirit No.1 excitedly swam toward the deep sea crystal, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed it whole.
"Waku..."
"!!!!"
