Chapter 307: Harvest
I hope Dragon Tamer King's backpack card isn't completely empty... A glimmer of light flashed in Chen Qi's eyes.
A small zipper-like door appeared on Dragon Tamer King's backpack card, and from behind it, dazzling golden light burst forth.
Inside the backpack space behind that door were various dazzling items, like a dragon's treasure hoard.
A three-by-three backpack space, with special compartments for storing medicinal herbs and special items... Chen Qi couldn't help but marvel - as a legendary Dragon Tamer King, even his backpack card was a tier above theirs.
Dragon Tamer King's backpack card was well organized, simply divided into three sections: gold coins, skill cards and books/materials, and various items.
Among a pile of gold coins sat a special fruit that looked like a light bulb, its shell resembling a translucent cover, while the seed inside was a moon emitting spiritual energy, giving off a faint glow, its juice like a white ocean.
It was like a painted white sea.
This is... Chen Qi was startled and held it in his hand.
【White Sea Fruit
Affinity: Flower, LampDescription: A fruit condensed by the lamp-moon sea dragon, gathering the power of the moon and deep sea, containing powerful spiritual energy, an extremely versatile high-grade medicinal ingredient.】
White Sea Fruit... Chen Qi said silently.
The Lamp Sea medicine he obtained from the Deep Sea Hunters required White Sea Fruit as an ingredient.
Besides this, White Sea Fruit was also an extremely versatile medicinal ingredient, its energy pure, requiring only simple processing to be directly used as medicine.
This was undoubtedly a good thing, unfortunately there was only one... Chen Qi took out the white-glowing White Sea Fruit and continued examining the remaining items.
The amount of gold coins was less than he expected - only seven hundred, meaning seven million Shell Coins. This amount would be quickly spent on ship repairs plus purchasing a temporary backup engine for emergencies.
Aside from gold coins, the rest were all heavy potions.
Chen Qi rubbed his hands together excitedly as he examined them one by one.
Evolution Blood. Dragon Type No. 3 Potion, Reverse Scale Growth Medicine, Blood King Sea Serpent Heart, Deep Sea Toad King's Tears.
These four items were all extremely toxic, highly dangerous Goblet affinity items. Without specific physical constitution, consuming them would quickly backfire, causing complete bodily collapse.
But for dragon species with special physiques and strong poison resistance, these were undoubtedly great nourishing medicines.
These were powerful items specifically for enhancing pet beasts! Chen Qi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
These four items were extremely rare. If a pet beast could completely digest these four items, it might even gain power to rival legendary beings.
Without advancing to legendary beast tamer level, even with Deep Sea Affinity, contract cards would find it difficult to form a contract with beings of Black Lantern Dragon's level, achieving command and control without any verbal communication.
Fen was the Flower Witch. With some special potions, plus having the Coastal Apex Predator consume and digest these items, there was a high probability it could become a powerful creature like the Black Lantern Dragon.
Chen Qi couldn't help but hum excitedly, but soon remembered Fen was resting behind him and lowered his voice.
Besides these four extremely powerful pet cultivation items, the rest were some skill cards and books.
Chen Qi examined them.
【Dragon Cannon Skill Card
Affinity: Heart, Book
Type: Pet-use skill card (normally unusable by humans)
Description: Witness the power of cannons!
Usage condition: Pet must have sufficient comprehension
Effect: Allows pet to accumulate energy and release powerful dragon cannon, destroying land ahead.】
So many beast taming items... Chen Qi marveled. Dragon Tamer King Jie lived up to his title.
Once a contract was completed, beast tamers could use specific skill cards on their pets to enhance their abilities.
Even under certain special curses, if someone became a special being's pet, they could also use these pet skill cards.
Undoubtedly, this skill card could be directly given to the Coastal Apex Predator... Chen Qi continued looking.
【Dragon Charm. Succubus Enhancement Card
Affinity: Flower
Description: A card enhanced by a master succubus from the Goldenfinch Kingdom, combined with various mysterious medicinal ingredients from dragons, greatly enhancing the power of the 'Dragon Charm' card itself.
Effect: With this item, your body will emit enough pleasure to make dragon species feel delighted, even indescribable joy!】
"Hiss..."
Chen Qi couldn't help but frown.
The Dragon Charm card actually had a specialized enhanced version!
Chen Qi fell into thought for a moment. Sometimes, having dragons get too intimate with you wasn't necessarily good.
After all, besides deep sea dragon-type creatures, many beings might open their bloody mouths while getting close to you.
Chen Qi gently tapped his forehead with his finger. He wasn't very interested in becoming a succubus that attracted dragon species.
Moreover, too many charm cards would create overlay effects. If he digested Dragon Succubus, it would affect his Charm of Shadows to some extent.
Perhaps this thing could be given to Burry... Chen Qi thought silently.
Although Burry had been dragged into this, he had helped a lot. This Dragon Succubus card might be something he'd really want.
Dragon Tamer King didn't leave many skill cards. Chen Qi took out the two skill cards, and beneath them were some books.
Chen Qi quickly scanned the titles.
《How to Make a Flower Affinity Girlfriend Who Craves Abuse Suffer!》
《Self-Cultivation of Betrayers》
《Mystery of the Lamp-Moon Sea Dragon》
《Secrets of Dragon and Heart》
Torturing someone who craves abuse? Chen Qi fell into thought for a moment. Dragon Tamer King's hobbies were really special.
As for the other three books, 《Self-Cultivation of Betrayers》 was related to Dragon Tamer King's goals.
Dragon Tamer King had extremely low loyalty to the Blackfin Crew, plus this failure at Dragonflower Archipelago, he was bound to face significant trouble.
This abuse book didn't need to go in the backpack card... Chen Qi prepared to put the first book on the shelf, but suddenly remembered Fen was also flower affinity, so he stuffed it in a drawer instead, then looked at the other two books.
Among them, Secrets of Dragon and Heart was a forbidden book, also the most valuable one, its worth far exceeding gold.
Secrets of Dragon and Heart was already legendary-level literature. The essence of this technique was connecting the beast tamer's life with their pet's life, essentially adding an extra life. It was an extremely powerful forbidden technique that only legends could learn.
However, this book could only be studied by legendary heart affinity beast tamers, useless to Chen Qi.
But for legendary heart affinity Transcendents, this was a treasure that added an extra life.
If he could find a buyer, this was undoubtedly the most valuable item here! Enough to trade for a legendary-level Release card! After flipping through it, Chen Qi placed this book in the deepest part of the backpack card.
Next, Chen Qi examined the final book, Mystery of the Lamp-Moon Sea Dragon.
Chen Qi opened the book, which detailed the lamp-moon sea dragon's appearance, living habits, and capture methods.
It emphasized that lamp-moon sea dragons were extremely aloof sea dragons. Trying to tame them through violence was impossible - only heart affinity 'hypnosis methods' could work.
Inside the book was tucked a sea chart, densely marked with hundreds of X's and several moons drawn on it.
Additionally, in the chart's upper right corner were some notes.
"Lamp-moon sea dragons not only possess ancient dragon bloodline, they have extremely thick deep sea bloodline. To trap them in cages, one must also possess heart items that can distort their minds.
However, facing lamp affinity dragons, can distorted heart items really hypnotize them?"
"Absolutely, absolutely do not look directly at the lamp-moon sea dragon's neck moon. The moon on their necks can confuse minds, making people lost in endless white seas."
"Lamp-moon sea dragons aren't creatures that live in the deep sea. They must be near islands around the great whirlpool. Once I find their islands, I can refine the Lamp Sea medicine recorded in ancient medical texts to resist black whale blood's side effects."
Lamp-moon sea dragon... Chen Qi stroked his chin, falling into deep thought.
Dragon Tamer King was actually searching for the same thing as him, and according to Dragon Tamer King's sea chart, he had already found five possible locations where lamp-moon sea dragons might appear.
Chen Qi couldn't help but feel excited.
After all, lamp-moon sea dragons were extremely precious dragon-type creatures to him too!
With lamp-moon sea dragons, he could obtain large quantities of White Sea Fruit, and these White Sea Fruits could brew countless high-grade medicinal ingredients.
As expected, the dozen-plus moon symbols marked on this chart were places where lamp-moon sea dragons had previously appeared.
Chen Qi compared the two sea charts and was surprised to find that his originally planned destination 'Scorched Earth Island' had also previously seen lamp-moon sea dragon appearances.
This was a good opportunity... Fighting spirit ignited in Chen Qi's heart. He could already imagine catching lamp-moon sea dragons, then with Fen's help, harvesting countless medicinal ingredients.
Next, Chen Qi inventoried the other items in the backpack card. The remaining items were mostly pet enhancement items and medicines for self-treatment.
After settling Fen and obtaining combat potions, he could head to the Fog Sea to search for Deep Sea Hunter cards... Chen Qi took a deep breath inwardly.
With legendary and Coastal Apex Predator assistance, the Fog Sea was no longer dangerous to him.
After handling various matters, Chen Qi quietly packed his things, took a comfortable bath, had water spirits give him a full body massage, properly relaxing his sore body.
Unconsciously, a day passed.
Morning of the second day.
Chen Qi emerged from the cabin, leaned against the deck, and looked at the people discussing at the dock.
Among the passing crowd, people wearing hunter outfits occasionally cast curious glances at their ship.
The Ghost Ship in ghost fire mode had significant appearance changes, plus they'd done considerable disguise in advance. Recognizing the Ghost Ship required extremely sharp eyes.
But even so, this ship still attracted many hunters' sidelong glances.
"Troublesome..."
Chen Qi shook his head. The navy's investigation intensity was too high now. Even providing simple clues could earn substantial bounties.
Staying longer, they might face navy interrogation.
Fortunately, after a night of hard work, the ship was completely repaired.
But unfortunately, due to repeatedly activating space jumps, not just the ship but the ghost fire engine had also suffered serious damage, only capable of maintaining normal sailing.
Until finding a new high-grade energy engine, space jumps were temporarily unusable.
After handling the ship's various troubles, Chen Qi handed the Dragon Succubus card to Burry.
Burry took the card, his mouth gradually opening wider until it couldn't close!
In this world, someone actually specially made dragon succubus cards!
Burry couldn't help but admire the Goldenfinch Kingdom master's astonishing creativity.
"Thank you!"
"Burry, rest for a while. I plan to leave this island, head to Scorched Earth Island's town to evade pursuit and find a foothold."
"No, I can still work!"
Burry, having obtained the Dragon Succubus card, was filled with motivation.
"......"
What a natural workhorse... Chen Qi was stunned. After all, even the water spirits felt tired and had fallen asleep.
"Don't overwork yourself..."
Chen Qi added, taking advantage that no one had discovered them yet, setting sail toward Scorched Earth Island.
Boom! Boom!
At this moment, sitting by the window, a golden-haired woman with octopus-like features on her head, looking like an elf, silently gazed at the distant sea.
In the distant sea, she could faintly sense a massive creature moving beneath the waves, and that creature's movement direction matched the meal ship that just passed.
"Could it be that tentacled beauty Black Hunter?"
The golden-haired woman licked her lips, showing a wicked smile, but then remembered Black Hunter's strength and shuddered.
......
The Ghost Ship advanced across the sea surface toward Scorched Earth Island.
Soon, accompanied by massive waves, a huge lantern slowly emerged from the sea.
Boom!
A Blackship Sea Dragon leaped out fiercely, opening its bloody mouth while panting and wagging its tail.
The Blackship Sea Dragon was extremely fast. The Ghost Ship's speed was like a walking child in its eyes.
The Coastal Apex Predator wore an expression of pride - it had completed its commands well and desired rewards!
Chen Qi stood by the ship's edge, taking out the Blood King Serpent Heart, preparing to throw it to the Coastal Apex Predator!
This serpent king heart from Dragon Tamer King's backpack card, containing endless nutrition and energy, is your reward!
"Your reward!"
Chen Qi's lips curved upward.
However, upon seeing the Blood King Serpent Heart, the Coastal Apex Predator showed a fearful expression, narrowing its bloodshot dragon eyes.
Why? Chen Qi had a faint bad inspiration.
After all, this was Blood King Serpent Heart! Top-tier material countless giant beasts craved!
As the former coastal apex predator, facing such precious nourishing items, it should feel supreme joy!
Could it be the Coastal Apex Predator couldn't withstand the Blood King Serpent Heart's power and felt fear!
Wait... Chen Qi thought, took out his fishing rod, made several supernatural bait, then mixed them with the Blood King Serpent Heart, sprinkling some soul seasoning.
The moment soul seasoning sprinkled down, the Coastal Apex Predator opened its fang-filled bloody mouth again and wagged its tail.
The Blackship Sea Dragon was actually picky! And what it was picky about was the completely non-nutritious taunting bait!
Did I spoil its appetite? Chen Qi was shocked, then mixed the Blood King Serpent Heart with bait and threw it out.
Boom!
The moment the bait was thrown, the Coastal Apex Predator leaped out like a puppy, biting the food in mid-air.
【Your pet beast 'Coastal Apex Predator' is undergoing some physical changes...】
After consuming the Blood King Serpent Heart, furnace-like blood colors appeared on the Coastal Apex Predator's scales.
Under physical pain, its tail wagged even more violently as it continued opening its mouth.
It wanted more!
"......"
Was the bait really that delicious? Chen Qi was completely stunned.
Nearby water spirit number four also blinked its big eyes, wanting to eat bait.
Whatever, since the ship was sailing straight anyway with nothing happening, might as well reward it more.
Chen Qi directly sat by the ship's edge, put on a fisherman's hat, took out his fishing rod, simultaneously making supernatural bait for fishing while occasionally using bait to reward the Coastal Apex Predator.
Thus, under leisurely sea breezes and sunlight, Chen Qi fished while feeding bait to the Coastal Apex Predator.
"Haven't been this relaxed in a long time. When Fen and Burry wake up, I can introduce them to the cute Coastal Apex Predator..."
Chen Qi thought while enjoying the sea breeze.
Soon, his fishing rod transmitted a strong, powerful pull.
A big fish!
Chen Qi pulled upward sharply.
Such strong force!
How many tons must this be!
For a moment, Chen Qi's brute strength actually couldn't pull it up, and the fishing rod showed signs of breaking!
Chen Qi thought, at this time, why not have the Coastal Apex Predator dive underwater to interfere with it.
Chen Qi immediately took out bait, threw it to the Coastal Apex Predator, preparing to command it to dive deep and catch the big fish.
However, when the bait was thrown, before the panting Coastal Apex Predator could bite the bait, a huge white dragon tail suddenly swung over!
Slap!
The Coastal Apex Predator was struck into the sea by a massive 'slap'!
The force of this white dragon tail was tremendous, creating a loud sonic boom! Instantly waking Burry on the deck and Fen in the bedroom!
Pursuit!? Fen abruptly rose from her pain-filled nightmare, stepping out with cold air, looking fearfully out the window.
Under white sunlight, an extremely holy white sea dragon with skin like flowing water emitted an unimaginable spiritual energy field, gazing down at their ship from above.
They were being attacked by an extremely powerful spiritual energy sea dragon!
Fen's eyes widened involuntarily.
No!
From this sea dragon, she felt the terrifying pressure of a hungry beast.
And not just one!
This number was...
Ten!
Fen gripped the bedsheet tightly.
The next instant, several white dragon tails suddenly curved, firmly wrapping around the ship, forcibly stopping it on the sea surface.
Beneath their noble appearances, each radiated the terrifying aura of starving beasts.
