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

Chapter 280: Moon Island Flower

The Lost Island... Chen Qi vaguely remembered this as a familiar ruin zone where a massive war had once erupted on this small island.

As he murmured to himself, the ghost ship's bow had already approached the island's sandy beach.

A small red crab sensed something strange and tapped the ghost ship's hull with its tiny claw.

Boom!

A huge crack split open across the ship's body!

"?"

The little red crab froze in place - was its power really that tremendous?! It quickly scrambled away from the ship!

"The ship needs repairs..."

Chen Qi leaped down from the vessel.

The space leap engine was a top-tier functional engine, and each jump caused massive damage to the ship.Using the space leap engine with the ghost ship's configuration was like using a nuclear graphics card to play AAA games - it could give you an unprecedented experience.

That the ghost ship could use the jump engine once without exploding was already impressive enough.

Therefore, given the ghost ship's constitution, it could only use the jump engine twice at most.

If continuous use was required, a mechanic had to immediately repair the damaged vessel after each use.

"Fortunately, we have a mechanic on board..."

Chen Qi remarked with feeling.

However, Little Mary the mechanic ultimately belonged to the White Tower Hunters, so he would need to recruit a new mechanic eventually.

After instructing Little Mary to repair the ship and Melanie using concealment cards to hide the vessel, Chen Qi led the water spirits and the White Tower Vessel crew to investigate the island.

Dense trees covered most of the island, towering into the clouds with lush branches and leaves.

Additionally, the fertile soil nurtured abundant flowers, medicinal herbs, and crops - the entire island appeared vibrant and teeming with life.

Sunlight filtered through the dense canopy, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow, while sea breezes carrying the scent of flowers and medicine gently blew through.

"The wind feels so comfortable..."

Chen Qi shielded his eyes from the sun as he scanned the surrounding medicinal herbs and ingredients along the leaf-covered path.

Blood-replenishing, brain-boosting, kidney-tonifying, spirit-value restoring, hydrating...

One could say this island had everything one could need.

Having recently advanced to the third tier, this was precisely when he needed to nourish his body.

Chen Qi directed Water Spirit No. 1 to gather these internal injury healing herbs as they walked.

"So many supernatural medicinal herbs... Could this really be the Lost Island where the Flower Witch achieved her legendary ascension?"

Chen Qi asked himself again, unconsciously recalling the facts about the Flower Witch's advancement.

For the first three tiers of supernatural profession advancement, as long as one's abilities and physical condition met standards along with some minor conditions, advancement was possible.

But beyond that, advancement conditions became increasingly demanding, with the difficulty of reaching legendary status being unprecedented.

First was the legendary profession card - these only had a small chance of dropping from B-tier or higher dimensional rifts after completing S-rank or even hidden tasks.

Alternatively, one could obtain them by completing some extremely difficult chain quests.

Although legendary profession cards were extremely rare, after the Smiling Moon event, with the continuous emergence of B-tier rifts, obtaining one wasn't impossible.

But obtaining a legendary profession card was just the beginning.

Legendary profession cards had extremely stringent advancement conditions, and before advancing, one must complete a legendary task.

For Fen to advance to become a true 'Flower Witch', she not only needed extremely high alchemy skills but also had to create a floral aspect Philosopher's Stone potion.

The Philosopher's Stone potion was a potion grade established by saint-level alchemists, and it was the highest potion level ordinary alchemists could know about.

A single potion's effects could achieve species evolution, ability enhancement comparable to flesh surgery, or even transform oneself into a special form.

Creating Philosopher's Stone potions required extremely precise spiritual energy control and countless top-tier medicinal ingredients.

Therefore, Fen's main purpose in separating from him was to search for ultra-rare medicinal materials.

Chen Qi continued forward along the path.

For the Philosopher's Stone potion the Flower Witch wanted to create, the most important ingredient, the final component, was a thousand-year-old 'Moon Island Flower'.

This herb itself absorbed massive amounts of solar and lunar essence along with deep sea power, and the supernatural energy it emitted could make an island's plants flourish with lush foliage, growing abundant supernatural medicinal herbs!

Additionally, the Moon Island Flower itself could create massive moss golems to protect the island's plants.

One could say the Moon Island Flower was an island, a small floral kingdom.

Could we really have teleported to this island... Chen Qi thought to himself.

Islands with witch statues weren't uncommon - he needed final confirmation.

But if this was indeed the Lost Island, the situation would become much more complicated.

The Lost Island wasn't safe - it was an island heavily guarded by Dragon Tamer Jie, and for the Flower Witch to obtain this rare Moon Island Flower, she had to join forces with the Blood Blade Pirates and undergo a difficult naval battle before finally obtaining the flower for her advancement.

The leisurely walk through the forest was quite pleasant, and before they knew it, they had reached the island's center.

At the island's center, there were no trees, just grassland against a small hill where, under the sunlight, the Ice Witch's statue stood out prominently.

However, unlike ordinary Ice Witch statues, this one depicted the Ice Witch wearing winter hunter attire.

Compared to the gentle statue on Flower Island, this statue's face appeared more determined and cold, as if it had endured years of piercing extreme cold.

Rather than a witch, it more resembled a valkyrie defending against beast tides on frozen lands.

Her hands were posed as if holding flowers, and on those moss-covered stone hands grew a flower emitting a faint blue light.

"Wow..."

The White Tower Hunters couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

They never expected that an accidental teleportation would bring them to a lost ruin site!

It really is the Moon Island Flower... Chen Qi's eyes widened as more memories about Fen surfaced in his mind.

After all, for Fen to reach this lost place, she had to rely on the Blood Blade Pirates' cover and pay the price of losing an arm before finally reaching this island with great difficulty.

Just finding the Moon Island Flower's location cost Fen enormous effort and time, let alone obtaining it.

This... this can't be right... Chen Qi shook his head and calmed down.

Simply put, this place was the final boss area of the Dragonflower Archipelago's massive dungeon!

I accidentally teleported straight to the boss room!?

Is this good luck... Chen Qi couldn't help but marvel.

At that moment, Melanie excitedly rolled up her sleeves, preparing to pluck the Moon Island Flower.

"Don't pull it—"

Chen Qi immediately stopped her.

"Why?"

Melanie tilted her head in confusion.

If I told you this seemingly ordinary Moon Island Flower is a hidden major boss, would you believe me? Chen Qi stepped on the ground with his foot and explained:

"This flower is connected to countless golems beneath it. If you don't want to die, don't touch it recklessly."

"Golems?"

Melanie was startled and bent down, pressing her ear against the ground. Only now could she sense that immense spiritual energy hidden beneath the flower.

This is a terrifying trap! Melanie couldn't help but marvel.

Chen Qi shook his head - the moss golems were extremely powerful, with numerous trees, and the Moon Island Flower itself could manipulate many plants on the island.

Plucking the Moon Island Flower without adequate preparation was equivalent to seeking death.

Melanie thought for a moment and asked:

"So what should we do next?"

Chen Qi pondered.

This place was essentially Dragon Tamer Jie's bedroom.

Obviously, staying here wasn't wise - they needed to leave this place quickly.

However, the ghost ship had suffered too much damage, and it wasn't suitable to sail again until Little Mary repaired it.

Moreover, although the Moon Island Flower couldn't be harvested, the numerous medicinal herbs and ingredients on the island were extremely rare specimens, and gathering them would take considerable time.

Chen Qi thought for a moment and said:

"Let's eat first."

"Eat!"

As these words left his mouth, everyone swallowed saliva simultaneously, casting hungry, thirsty looks toward Chen Qi.
