Chapter 282: Deep Sea Affinity Lv2
The night wind blew past, and centered around Chen Qi, the sea became even more violent. Massive waves surged forth like mountains, emitting deafening roars.
"Something is coming..."
Chen Qi gently tapped the sea surface with his toes. A tingling sensation traveled from the seawater to his toes.
His vision became blurry, and at this moment, he could seemingly sense the flow of water, the movement of fish schools, and those sea creatures constantly charging toward him.
"Perception..."
Chen Qi closed his eyes. At this moment, he had a wonderful feeling of immersing into the ocean, as if he could listen to the voice of the sea.
Boom! In an instant, five sea dragons covered in sharp scales emerged from the ocean like five massive pillars, charging toward Chen Qi.
Sea Scale Dragons, a type of purely powerful sea dragon. Although their growth potential wasn't high, each one possessed strength rivaling the Coastal Apex Predators.
"Hoo..."
Chen Qi silently looked at these sea dragons. They lowered their heads, presenting an obedient, dog-like feeling.And at this moment, a notification popped up.
【Deep Sea Affinity Lv2: Your Deep Sea Affinity has upgraded to Lv2. Your ancient species aura has become more concentrated, your aura's influence range has expanded threefold, and simultaneously, your pressure has increased. Now, even weak ancient species in the deep sea will feel some fear when seeing you!
Deep Sea Detection (Lamp): When walking upon the sea, you can sense the flow of ocean currents and the movement of sea creatures.】
"Consuming deep sea-type items like the Lake Sword can upgrade Deep Sea Affinity?"
Chen Qi opened his eyes, suddenly clear-headed. He could feel that his soul-level aura had undergone some evolution.
The most straightforward enhancement was the strengthening of Deep Sea Affinity itself - this aura enhancement could passively expand his influence range.
Beyond that, the most important thing was the new skill: Deep Sea Detection.
Chen Qi experienced it briefly - this was an extremely powerful 'detection' skill.
Typically, the strongest spiritual energy detection for Transcendents essentially involved emitting spiritual energy, treating it as an extension of 'skin' that continuously expands outward to detect surrounding forces.
However, this external detection could easily be blocked - strong winds, the fog of the Fog Sea, the dark atmospheric layers in the sky, or even a wall could all prevent spiritual energy detection.
Seawater also blocked spiritual energy detection. Whether Lamp affinity or Book affinity, their spiritual energy detection struggled to detect monsters in water.
Even legends, in the depths of the ocean, their spiritual energy detection became as weak as frail ants, forced to rely only on eyes and sound to struggle forward through pitch-black darkness.
This was why the deep sea was regarded as the forbidden land of the Witch Sea. Many people couldn't even look directly at the deep sea, let alone perceive it, much less enter it.
Chen Qi gently tapped the seawater, creating ripples. His perception was extremely clear - he could not only sense the movement of sea creatures but even feel the flow of ocean currents.
With this skill, as long as the battle took place at sea, even facing someone with extremely strong spiritual perception like An, my perception would hold the advantage.
Then Chen Qi pondered further. Currently, it seemed deep sea-type items could also upgrade his inspiration talent.
However, deep sea-type items were extremely rare. The difficulty of surviving in the deep sea was no less than surviving in an A-tier dimensional rift.
Deep sea-type items weren't something I could actively search for yet... Chen Qi thought, patting the five obedient Sea Scale Dragons.
The Sea Scale Dragons trembled slightly, lowering their heavy heads to let Chen Qi pet them.
Chen Qi vaguely remembered when he first set sail and encountered the Coastal Apex Predator. Although it showed some fear, more than that, it felt attracted by the charm of his Deep Sea Affinity.
But now, while the Sea Scale Dragons also had this feeling, they clearly showed a bit more fear—
I wonder how the cute little Coastal Apex Predator is doing after the Smiling Moon... Chen Qi suddenly felt somewhat nostalgic for the Coastal Apex Predator.
But the next second, something unexpected happened. The Sea Scale Dragons suddenly shuddered, several sharp bone spikes emerged from their spines, then they opened their dragon teeth filled with bloodshot veins, roaring piercingly toward the sky!
"Roar—"
All five Sea Scale Dragons shouted toward the sky simultaneously, their piercing roars even startling the bird flocks on the islands!
Something in the sky, wait... Chen Qi suddenly remembered something.
Could it be Dragon Tamer Jie's patrol team?
Dragon Tamer King's profession was Legendary Dragon Tamer. His professional traits allowed him to tame dragon-type creatures, inject his own spiritual energy into them, and form contracts with them.
Unlike third-tier beast tamers, dragon tamers could tame multiple dragons, even entire dragon flocks, through resources.
Dragon Tamer Jie's forces firmly controlled the Dragonflower Archipelago, and the entire Dragonflower Archipelago was flying dragon territory.
Currently, the Dragonflower Archipelago was essentially Jie's dragon pasture.
In these sea regions, flying dragons represented the supreme apex of the food chain.
Even legends, in the depths of the ocean, their spiritual energy detection became as weak as frail ants, forced to rely only on eyes and sound to struggle forward through pitch-black darkness.
The Black Thunder Dragon's wings spread wide, incredibly broad. Each flap stirred up violent winds and huge waves, along with dazzling black lightning!
The moment it appeared, several astonishing thunderbolts instantly struck across the sea surface!
"Black Thunder Dragon, body length fifteen meters..."
Chen Qi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Dragon Tamer Jie's most prized pet was the Black Thunder Dragon King. As the juvenile form of the Black Thunder Dragon King, the Black Thunder Dragon represented the natural embodiment of lightning, possessing terrifying strength—an ultra-rare dragon species!
Sea Scale Dragons, or even the Blackship Sea Dragon, couldn't compare to the Black Thunder Dragon.
However, as a powerful dragon species, the Black Thunder Dragon was exceptionally cruel and bloodthirsty! It craved supernatural power and challenges!
If Chen Qi had full stamina now, he could play hunter and slay the Black Thunder Dragon.
But he had just experienced a major battle. Right now, he couldn't even maintain Ember's Touch, let alone use Ember's Hands. Bloom.
"This is troublesome..."
Feeling the waves of pain from his body, Chen Qi quickly drew Flesh Cleaver Bone Breaker, preparing for battle.
The monsters tamed by Blackfin Crew beast tamers were undoubtedly all human-eating monsters! In war, they used Transcendents as nourishment for their own strengthening!
Sure enough, the moment it saw Chen Qi, the Black Thunder Dragon immediately drooled, charging at him thirstily!
Nothing tasted more delicious than Transcendents!
Boom! The Black Thunder Dragon's entire body glowed with dazzling lightning, then made a massive charge like thunder striking from the sky, biting toward him.
Thunder Strike. Descent!
Chen Qi abruptly drew his blade, holding it horizontally to block.
At this moment, the Black Thunder Dragon's massive jaws firmly clamped onto his blade, then its golden vertical pupils revealed traces of cruelty and mockery!
Black Thunder Explosion!
With the operation of its electricity-generating organs, the Black Thunder Dragon's black lightning suddenly erupted!
A stabbing pain instantly pierced through Chen Qi's entire body.
Electrotherapy!
Numbness, pain... For a moment, Chen Qi felt intense pain as if his bones were breaking.
But now, he didn't retreat. Instead, he gripped the hilt tightly, immediately pulling it out. After enduring one strike, he quickly assumed a drawing stance.
The Black Thunder Dragon was fast. If this move couldn't finish it, once it entered hunting mode, it would become extremely troublesome.
With his current physical condition, even activating Release one more time could leave permanent damage.
Therefore, he had to subdue the Black Thunder Dragon quickly.
Chen Qi pulled his dragon-blood-stained blade from the dragon's mouth, facing the black lightning, he fiercely stepped onto the Black Thunder Dragon's head, then descended from the sky, delivering a slash!
Furious Slash. Open!
Shadow Blade. Dragon Ascent Slash!
Boom!
Dragon Tamer King's profession was Legendary Dragon Tamer. His professional traits allowed him to tame dragon-type creatures, inject his own spiritual energy into them, and form contracts with them.
This kind of slash indeed couldn't deal significant damage... Chen Qi spat out a breath of blood mist. His injury-for-injury attack hadn't broken through the Black Thunder Dragon's scales.
The Black Thunder Dragon emitted a massive roar, attempting to counterattack, to show this human even more terrifying lightning strikes!
Who are you fighting? The next second, seeing this, the other Sea Scale Dragons angrily charged forward, opening their bloody fangs to bite the Black Thunder Dragon's five limbs.
