Witch, I Swear I’m Not a Deep Sea Ancient God!

Chapter 270: The Lake Sword of the Deep Sea Hunter!

"Black Hunter."

Bluefire added, a flicker of vigilance and fear flashing in his eyes.

The opponent was one of the Supernovas, affiliated with the Flower Witch. Although his record against humans wasn't impressive, maintaining sufficient caution was still necessary.

Give you some face... Chen Qi glanced at the white-haired old man before him.

Hearing this familiar catchphrase, memories flooded Chen Qi's mind - the old man from Bonfire Energy Company who loved smoking.

He was originally a butler for a noble family, having once risked his life and spent his entire lifetime's savings to save a great noble for his master.

He thought he would receive a legendary profession card as reward, but the noble used his old age as an excuse, only rewarding him with a lighter.

Since then, Old Man Bluefire no longer trusted nobles and joined Bonfire Energy Company, heading to the Witch Sea to seek his path to becoming legendary.

Like the Sage Book Elder from the Book Tower, his catchphrases were "Give me some face" and "Stop fighting already!"

Later, as expected, his face got thoroughly slapped—Chen Qi thought to himself. In his memory, Old Man Bluefire was a legendary figure, but now he only had third-tier strength.

It seemed that only after experiencing this journey would Old Man Bluefire become legendary.

His profession was the Lamp affinity's Messenger, a Lamp profession skilled in information delivery and movement techniques.

Although there was some gap between his strength and the Supernovas, he was still an opponent not to be underestimated... The tentacles behind Chen Qi wriggled, unconsciously growing larger in excitement.

Although he had some strength, during this night, with the Shadow Flame Demon and the blooming state of Ember's Touch: Shadow Weaving's ember beasts!

In this darkness, with Bluefire's strength, he was absolutely no match!

The only threat was Bonfire Energy Company's Blackrock Mecha—

But the Blackrock Mecha's role was extremely limited. This large mecha lacked the ability to conceal its aura, and its powerful spiritual energy core would become the primary target for shadow beasts and the Twelve-Tentacles.

As long as he used the Deep Sea Hunters' 'alarm clock' he just obtained to release ringing sounds again and wake the Twelve-Tentacles, this Blackrock Mecha would just take a few big slaps from the Twelve-Tentacles.

"Tell me, what can you offer?"

Chen Qi stepped on Dya's head, the tentacles behind him becoming even more excited, constantly dancing.

The next second, Bluefire raised his hand and threw all ten of his deep blue fire bottles to Chen Qi:

"Black Hunter, to be honest, when we arrived at this lost island, the Blackfin Crew's legendary figure, Dragon Tamer Jie, had already traveled through the thunderstorms and reached the Sea of Calamities! And he's charging toward us!

Our time is running out. If we continue fighting, both you and I will likely become food for the thunder dragons under Dragon Tamer Jie's command."

The Seven Sea Pirates of the Blackfin Crew had already left the Fog Sea and begun searching for witch relics and the Flower Witch.

Chen Qi thought for a moment.

Bluefire probably wasn't lying, but he deliberately concealed a crucial piece of information - the naval support from Bonfire Energy Company.

Moreover, the purpose of his negotiation was definitely not to save Dya.

Chen Qi smiled:

"Speak, what do you want to do?"

Whoosh, a gust of wind blew by, scattering the dark clouds in the sky. Faint moonlight spilled down, illuminating this lost island.

Old Man Bluefire's white hair fluttered in the wind as he slowly looked toward the center of the island, a flash of excitement in his aged eyes.

Finally seeing it again, Deep Sea Hunter, the legend you left behind... Old Man Bluefire stepped over Dya's head on the ground and excitedly walked forward.

The very center of this lost island was a large lake, and in the middle of the lake, a area protruded.

In the center of this area stood a azure blue sword in the lake, with blue flame patterns carved on the sword hilt.

Around the sword, white bones piled up, and five hundred meters away, there was a special azure ripple.

Although it looked ordinary and didn't emit any powerful spiritual energy of forbidden creations, that was the treasure left by the Deep Sea Hunters:

The Lake Sword!

Chen Qi blinked. As expected, this was the treasure the Deep Sea Hunters had buried on this lost island.

Deep Sea Hunter, oh Deep Sea Hunter, can't you come up with some new tricks? Chen Qi couldn't help but complain.

So far, all the Deep Sea Hunter treasures he encountered were cast from the same mold.

All Deep Sea Hunter treasures followed the same principle - they looked extremely easy to take!

But dare to take it and you'll die! These white bones were the most powerful proof.

Seeing this treasure again after twenty years, Bluefire tightened his grip on his cigarette, unable to conceal his excitement:

"Black Hunter, it's been a full century since the Deep Sea Hunter's death. This is too long, so long that people have forgotten what the Deep Sea Hunter looked like. But in legends, the Deep Sea Hunter was someone capable of dominating the seas.

In this barren land of the Witch Sea, only the Ice Witch and the Deep Sea Hunter have ever reached the path beyond Sainthood, seen the Sea Goddess beneath the deep sea, and that Great Whale from beyond this world..."

Here, Bluefire paused for three seconds before continuing:

"If we examine history, the Ice Witch left behind a Witch's Coffin containing a sealed Path to Sainthood. However, in reality, the Deep Sea Hunter's treasure also contains a path to Sainthood, no, even a path beyond that—"

Beyond Sainthood... Chen Qi stroked his chin, listening with great interest.

This world did have deities, but unlike most gods, the deities of New Dawn rarely appeared or responded to believers' expectations.

However, once their taboos were violated, they would immediately execute punishment.

After becoming a Saint, one would possess the capital to violate these taboos.

Bluefire glanced sideways at Chen Qi, expecting a surprised expression. This intelligence was something he obtained from the fifth-tier Sage [Recorder] at the Book Tower.

In many people's eyes, the Deep Sea Hunter was a legendary figure, at most a Saint. Even the current Navy Admiral wouldn't believe that in the barren Witch Sea where even B-tier dimensional rifts were scarce, there once existed someone approaching demigod status.

However, upon hearing this news, Chen Qi wasn't surprised. Instead, the tentacles behind him grew excited, lengthening to a full ten meters.

As expected of the Black Hunter. He must be, like the Flower Witch, a disciple of the Ice Witch... Bluefire believed he had guessed Chen Qi's identity.

Chen Qi smiled slightly:

"You know how to obtain this Lake Sword?"

Bluefire nodded seriously:

"Of course. Twenty years ago, I reached the center of the lake and tried to pull out that Lake Sword. But I failed. For every bit the sword was pulled out, the Twelve-Tentacles guarding this island would be awakened, and the sea beasts in the lake would become frenzied—"

Sword in the stone... Chen Qi couldn't help but complain. The Deep Sea Hunter's treasure burial methods really lacked creativity:

"So then, what do you want me to do? And how do we split the final treasure?"

Bluefire stretched his limbs and said with a smile:

"To pull out that sword, one must have Lamp affinity comprehension or Blade affinity comprehension. To pull out this sword, I used my lifespan and strength as bargaining chips to specifically change from my original Blade affinity to the Lamp affinity's Messenger profession, possessing both Blade and Lamp affinities.

During the process, I will inevitably be surrounded by the lake beasts."

"Black Hunter, I heard you hunted the Black Pig Shark and are a cruel, merciless sea beast killer. I hope you and the Blackrock Mecha can help me hold off the lake beasts.

After success, if there's information about legendary profession cards in the Deep Sea Hunter's treasure, that information belongs to me. Including that Lake Sword that can assist domain release - it all goes to you."

All other treasures go to me? Sounds good, but only sounds good... Chen Qi thought for a moment and said:

"As for the finally enraged Twelve-Tentacles, we can only rely on our luck?"

"Yes, this world is a gamble. Scoundrels like us who don't put our lives on the tradable scale will never become legendary in our lifetime."

Bluefire picked up another cigarette, put it in his mouth, took out his lighter, and lit the cigarette.

Pfft! Pfft!

The moment the cigarette lit, Bluefire cast Water Walking and charged alone toward the lake.

And the Blackrock Mecha behind him also suddenly started its engine, stepping onto the sea.
