Chapter 283: I Need a Doctor
Crack!
The Sea Scale Dragon's fangs pierced through the Black Thunder Dragon's tough skin like sharp blades, embedding deeply into its flesh like hammered nails.
How... how is this possible! The Black Thunder Dragon stared in disbelief. As a higher species, it was actually being surrounded and humiliated by five inferior Sea Scale Dragons!
In these waters, although sea dragons existed, under the Dragon Tamer King's control, flying dragons were the true rulers of this sea region.
The Black Thunder Dragon's power far surpassed that of Sea Scale Dragons. Under normal circumstances, a mere spark of its lightning would be enough to scare these Sea Scale Dragons away.
Yet now, these Sea Scale Dragons dared to attack it, attempting to devour it!
Not only that, but a small red crab had even climbed onto its face and pinched its nose with its tiny pincers with a loud snap!
Who gave them this courage!
"Wuuuu—"
The Black Thunder Dragon let out a piercing shriek, violently flapping its wings while its thunder scales continuously released shocking bolts of lightning, trying to break free from this deadly restraint. But it was all in vain—under the assault of five Sea Scale Dragons, bright red blood continuously gushed from its wounds.Crunch!
With one furious bite, the Black Thunder Dragon's neck snapped, its reactions gradually fading as the Sea Scale Dragons devoured it.
That was close... Chen Qi let out a long sigh of relief and took bandages from his Backpack Card.
These Sea Scale Dragons feared the Black Thunder Dragon. He had to show some strength first before they would dare to follow him into battle.
Chen Qi rolled up his sleeve and looked at his skin, where dark red scars had appeared, continuously oozing fresh blood.
At the same time, intense pain radiated from his back and kidneys.
The Black Thunder Dragon's attacks could paralyze the entire body and damage the blood.
Continuous fighting had left him with serious internal injuries.
Status window appeared.
[Your body has entered a severe internal injury state. All attributes reduced by 40%.]
No good, I need to find a doctor as soon as possible... Chen Qi wrapped bandages around his injured arm. After the long journey, his body had reached some kind of limit.
His current condition couldn't be recovered through eating alone in a short time.
Chen Qi stepped forward and pulled out the Black Thunder Dragon's lightning horn.
[Black Thunder Dragon Horn:
Affinity: Blade, Flower
Effect: This horn can be used to make potions that increase lightning resistance when consumed, or to create equipment with lightning power.]
The most valuable part of the Black Thunder Dragon was this lightning horn. As for the rest, he didn't have time to dissect it now.
At this moment, on the island's shore, the White Tower Hunters stood frozen, looking at Chen Qi on the sea with terror.
What was happening? The Black Hunter, while taking an after-dinner stroll, actually dared to interfere in the battle between Sea Scale Dragons and the Black Thunder Dragon.
"Eat up..."
Chen Qi said gently to the Sea Scale Dragons, persuading the sea beasts to leave him, then hurried toward the shore.
"Melanie, are you all rested? If so, we need to set off immediately."
"Set off immediately?"
Melanie rubbed her head.
Chen Qi explained:
"There's a contract between a beast tamer and their pet. Once the pet dies, its owner will definitely sense it, especially high-level beast tamers—they can even sense the direction of their pet's death."
Let's sort this out... Aelor adjusted his glasses:
"The Black Thunder Dragon was killed by sea beasts, then you, Black Hunter, risked being attacked by Sea Scale Dragons to snatch a dragon horn, but now we have to run?"
Chen Qi explained:
"Yes, and as expected, the one chasing us is most likely one of the Seven Sea Pirates—Dragon Tamer Jie."
Seven Sea Pirates, Dragon Tamer Jie!
Instantly, the White Tower Hunters' calm expressions shattered.
A legend! And a legend from the Blackfin Crew!
In ocean legends, Jie could command hundreds of flying dragons to devour an entire navy fleet with just a flick of his finger!
He himself was equivalent to an entire kingdom's army!
They, their team, had actually, actually killed the Dragon Tamer King's beloved pet.
Even the usually calm, exam-focused Aelor couldn't help but adjust his glasses, cold sweat dripping down.
Traveling with the Black Hunter might bring plenty of rewards, but the excitement was truly intense... everyone couldn't help but sigh.
"Don't worry, our ship can activate one more jump. Escaping the crime scene shouldn't be a problem."
Chen Qi said as he headed toward the Ghost Ship.
The Dragon Tamer King's flying dragon troops had exceptional pursuit capabilities. Fortunately, he still had Spatial Jump.
This place isn't safe to stay. I need a professional surgical doctor... Chen Qi said quietly:
"Little Mary, how's it looking? Is the ship repaired? Can it make one more jump?"
Little Mary wiped sweat from her forehead:
"Eighty percent, but if we activate another jump, the ship's internal structure will definitely collapse. The entire vessel's speed will drop significantly."
As long as it can start... Chen Qi bit his lip. His current condition wasn't good. The top priority was to reach a safe location and find a doctor.
"Activate it..."
Chen Qi said quietly.
"Okay."
Little Mary went to the engine room and started the jump engine again.
Chen Qi thought for a moment and selected a relatively safe direction.
The Ghost Ship began accelerating, then with the sound of a massive engine and shattering glass, black lightning erupted across the ship!
Boom!
A spatial rift appeared again...
The Ghost Ship briefly passed through the rift, entering another dark world, then immediately emerged from it—
Boom—
The Ghost Ship appeared from the rift in distant waters, creating a huge splash.
Chen Qi took out binoculars and looked into the distance.
In the far distance, a massive lighthouse stood tall on the sea, particularly conspicuous in the darkness.
"A mobile lighthouse? A mobile dock?"
Chen Qi looked into the distance. Below the lighthouse hung a flag with a seal emblem, bearing a large number '1'.
Mobile Dock, Haibao Number One!
"We finally got it right this time..."
Chen Qi let out a long sigh of relief.
The Haibao Mobile Dock Number One was a famous mobile dock in the Witch Sea, a neutral organization whose main purpose was operating mobile docks to provide rest areas, food, and entertainment services including drinks and companionship for adventurers in the Witch Sea.
Additionally, it offered common town services like banking, potion shops, commodity trading, medical services, and ship repairs.
Of course, their services were two, even three times more expensive than city services!
But on the mobile dock, there was never a shortage of adventurers with full harvests spending generously.
I can find a doctor... Chen Qi felt a surge of joy. It might be expensive, but finding a ship doctor in the vast ocean was already quite difficult.
At this moment, the White Tower Hunters also secretly rejoiced at the sight of the distant dock!
"We finally made it out..."
The White Tower Hunters let out a long sigh of relief.
Before setting out, they never imagined they could board Blue Fire Island, seize the Deep Blue Fire under siege by the Bonfire Energy Company and navy, and successfully escape!
If they reported this to the old fossils at their Book Tower, they would never believe it!
Chen Qi took off the Ember's Touch, piloted the damaged Ghost Ship to the mobile dock's berthing area, then went with the White Tower Hunters to the dock's main hall.
The dock hall was magnificently decorated with gold, various bunny girls and mermaid waitresses serving red wine to guests, resembling an entertainment venue catering to wealthy playboys.
The dock manager, spotting Chen Qi with his keen sense of smell, immediately recognized that these hunters were rare VIP guests!
They must have obtained something extraordinary!
Clients who made big money can't help but spend. I need to make a killing from them... The manager with a thin mustache approached with two bunny girls, smiling as he said:
"Guests, what services do you require?"
Chen Qi said decisively:
"I need a doctor, a trustworthy doctor. Also, the latest major intelligence here!"
He needed to determine whether news of their robbery at Blue Fire Island had reached this place.
Business opportunity... The mustached manager's eyes glittered:
"No problem, we happen to have two second-tier doctors here—gentle techniques with superb skills. Besides, guest, you really picked the right time—we do have major intelligence here."
Second-tier doctors? Their skill level might not even match Melanie's... Chen Qi asked casually:
"What intelligence?"
The manager clasped his hands together, speaking with an ingratiating smile:
"Guest, to be frank, according to navy intelligence, there might be a major bounty target near us, and we already know his whereabouts. Guest, you seem to be from the Hunter Association. For just a small amount of money, we'll even include free flower wine..."
Major bounty target...
Instantly, the White Tower Hunters behind Chen Qi fell into silence.
Except for Melanie, the other White Tower Hunters grew somewhat uneasy. All eight of them were the perpetrators of that shocking robbery!
However, Chen Qi showed little reaction, maintaining his expressionless demeanor as he asked:
"Whose bounty list?"
The manager rubbed his hands together, saying:
"Guest, don't be surprised, but to be honest, the legendary Blade Witch and Flower Witch just appeared here..."
"Just now?"
Chen Qi turned his head, staring intently at the manager like a hungry wolf.
The manager broke out in a cold sweat, asking:
"What's wrong? Guest? Is our service unsatisfactory?"
