Chapter 424: A Bountiful Harvest
Witch, I Swear I’m Not a Deep Sea Ancient God!
【The Evolution of Life domain has dissipated...】
"Huff..."
Chen Qi stabbed his blade into the ground, the Ember's Touch behind him slowly retracting as he surveyed his surroundings.
Fen and Yisha were severely injured and urgently needed rest and recovery.
After the Sea God's fall, whether it was the Archbishop or the supernova Haige, they all knelt devoutly on the ground, trembling and not daring to speak.
With the Sea God's demise, all their high-ranking members present had no chance of resistance.
Out on the vast sea, the tens of thousands of Sea God Pirates soldiers prepared for battle had already declared defeat.
The domain's end had announced the final outcome.
Fen watched this scene, leaned against a massive boulder in the ruins, let out a relieved sigh, and closed her eyes.
"It's alright now, it's alright, Fen..."
Chen Qi turned back, walked over, gently patted Fen's small head, and applied medicine to the wound on her abdomen.
Fen's previously powerful state had only lasted for a moment.
The recent Release had completely drained Fen's spiritual energy.
Fen's skin turned pale, her chest continuously heaved, and her breathing became rapid:
"Huff, huff, huff..."
Once ashore, she must immediately receive treatment from a physician...
However, the best physician he currently knew, Little Crow, was also afflicted with the black whale blood poison, suffering unimaginable torment every day.
Chen Qi picked up Fen, confirmed she was temporarily stable, then stood up and looked toward the massive titan head before him.
Swish!
Chen Qi sliced the enormous head in half with his blade.
Within the massive head, a three-meter-tall woman slowly flowed out, her eyes vacant.
The Sea God had returned to her original human form.
And the abyssal leviathan Kraken had already perished under the dense barrage of slashes.
"I'm not dead..."
The Sea God silently muttered to herself.
That previous strike should have been enough to end her life.
Why?
Thump!
The next second, Chen Qi raised his foot, confirming the Sea God couldn't resist.
Before dealing with the Sea God, he still had one important matter to attend to.
With the Sea God's fall, this deep-sea base would eventually be submerged by the ocean.
And before it was completely engulfed, he absolutely had to acquire all the relics of the Sea God Pirates.
Chen Qi crouched down and picked up the backpack card at the Sea God's waist, imprinted with the Sea Goddess pattern.
He thoroughly examined the contents of the backpack card.
Inside the Sea God's backpack card were some blood-enhancing potions and spiritual energy restoration elixirs.
Besides these, there were also two powerful rift weapons.
The rift weapon Abyssal Spark, and the unique rift item Blood Spider Armor that only Goblet affinity users could wield.
The Blood Spider Armor was incredibly powerful, but only usable by Goblet affinity users.
The Abyssal Spark was an extremely formidable weapon, but currently, it remained an unusable forbidden weapon.
Of course, the most important item among them—
A flash of excitement appeared in Chen Qi's eyes as he pulled out a dazzling card from within.
A Saint profession card radiating an azure aura!
On the card's back was a shining golden heart!
This symbolized Lamp and Heart—
While on the front was a youth walking upon the ocean, herding a flock of sheep covered with numerous black tentacles.
Additionally, one could see the flowing currents of the sea and hear the bleating of the sheep flock.
Looking closely, the shepherd's azure spiral eyes were still gazing at him—
Unprecedented prompts appeared before Chen Qi's eyes.
【Sea Shepherd:
Affinity: Lamp, Heart
Tier: Fifth
Description: The sea is my pasture, everything within the sea is my flock.】
A Saint profession card... Chen Qi stored the card away.
With a fifth-tier profession card in hand, as long as he completed the construction of the rift workshop and contained the rift, he could achieve fifth-tier sublimation!
Chen Qi looked toward the crystals throughout the Sublimation Land.
Besides the Sea God's Sea Shepherd profession card, this Sublimation Land also contained a vast amount of the Sea God Pirates' important resources.
The numerous Magic-Banishing Crystals here were excellent materials for building the rift workshop.
However, besides this, there was still one important matter to handle.
According to the Ice Witch's fate projections, beneath the Sea God Pirates' base, there should be an item that could cure the black whale blood disease.
But so far, there had been no clues...
Chen Qi looked toward the dying Sea God.
This was also why he had spared the Sea God's life.
Chen Qi crouched down and asked softly:
"Sea God, answer me, do you have any method to resolve the black whale blood..."
"Black whale blood..."
The Sea God repeated Chen Qi's words.
Her spiritual energy field had dissipated, leaving her weaker than an ordinary second-tier supernatural.
At this moment, the Sea God had no hope left, lying on the ground like a rotten, stinking fish.
She had no possibility of turning things around.
All the treasures she had hidden in the deep sea now belonged to the youth before her!
She glanced at Chen Qi, offering no answer, instead looking toward the Sea God Pirates' Archbishop...
Me? I don't know anything! The Archbishop froze for a moment, cold sweat dripping down.
He didn't know either if there was any item that could cure the black whale blood disease!
He had never even considered solving the black whale blood problem.
He immediately said:
"In the Sea God's collection palace, all the treasures the Sea God has collected over the past century are stored, every precious item is kept there.
The Sea God never allowed us to approach that place easily!
Respected Black Hunter, perhaps what you seek can be found there."
The palace... Chen Qi lit the Daylight Lantern, signaling him to lead the way.
The Sea God Pirates' Archbishop stood up and led everyone to the secret palace of the Sea God Pirates.
Pushing open the heavy doors, a massive palace constructed from Magic-Banishing Crystals appeared before everyone's eyes.
Beneath this seabed, there was actually such an enormous palace... Chen Qi carefully touched the icy walls.
Every single Magic-Banishing Crystal was exceptionally important.
The construction materials of this palace were so expensive they exceeded his imagination!
The battle between him and the Sea God had caused severe damage in the Sublimation Land.
But if their fight had occurred in this location, it wouldn't even have been able to cause excessive damage.
This place itself was perfect for practicing techniques and creating rift weapons!
What a treasure trove! Chen Qi exclaimed in amazement.
Magic-Banishing Crystals were already important construction materials for rift workshops.
So many polished crystal building materials could be directly utilized to build advanced shelters capable of resisting the black whale catastrophe!
However, Magic-Banishing Crystals couldn't be stored in backpack cards.
Transporting such a massive quantity of rift crystals ashore remained a challenging problem.
This is the Sea God Pirates' entire family fortune... Chen Qi clapped his hands and continued walking deeper into the palace.
Soon, they arrived at an area filled with crystal cabinets.
Everyone took a deep breath; this was their first time visiting the Sea God's precious treasure vault.
So all the good stuff was in the collection room...
Chen Qi stroked his chin.
Compared to the Sea God's massive wealth, the items in her backpack card were far too scarce.
Chen Qi quickly scanned the area.
In this secret vault, the items in the crystal cabinets were mainly divided into three sections.
The first area contained crystal cabinets holding a large number of cards.
There were over a thousand third-tier skill cards, and an astonishing fifty fourth-tier usable skill cards!
As for profession cards, there were over a hundred third-tier ones, plus six legendary fourth-tier profession cards!
Another section was the weapons cabinet.
Among them, besides thousands of third-tier weapons,
there were a full ten weapons of the same level as Flesh Cleaver Bone Breaker!
There were even three powerful rift weapons!
The floral aspect Spirit Flower Garment, the shadow aspect Abyssal Afterimage, the book aspect Merlin's Tome...
Chen Qi's eyes lit up!
After so many adventures across the seas, this was the first time he had seen such an dazzling treasure trove!
The resources here were enough to nurture multiple fourth-tier supernaturals, making countless supernaturals flock eagerly.
Unimaginable supernatural resources!
The Sea God's family fortune is truly abundant... Chen Qi couldn't help but marvel again.
Then, he moved forward to look at the third section of the collection room.
Compared to weapons and profession cards, the third area contained all sorts of strange and varied items.
Chen Qi glanced over them.
Most items here were extremely rare materials.
Mechanical Titan components, Abyssal Flower seeds, succubus tails, feathered dragon feathers, three-headed hound teeth, and so on...
These items were very rare, totaling over ten thousand pieces altogether!
But they could only display their true value when in the hands of the right people.
Chen Qi looked at these items.
These things could hardly contribute to his own power growth anymore.
But they were materials that many supernaturals sought after.
With these items, he could establish his own massive pirate crew, just like the Sea God and Whale Father!
Chen Qi scanned them one by one.
Suddenly, two items caught his attention.
In this area, two items were sealed in special crystal boxes, placed in the most prominent location.
Judging by their placement, these two items' value should far surpass the other materials.
What are these? Chen Qi opened the boxes.
Inside this crystal box grew a pitch-black flower.
This flower bloomed like a rose, but the air around it resembled dark tidal waters.
Chen Qi gently touched the petals.
In that instant, he felt as if a massive abyss appeared before his eyes.
Endless dark tidal waters, starting from his fingertips, washed over every inch of his body.
A prompt abruptly appeared before Chen Qi's eyes.
【You have touched the Abyssal Sea Flower, inspiration +5!!】
Just a brief touch! And it increased inspiration by five points!
Chen Qi looked inside the box.
Inside the box, there was also a research notebook.
Chen Qi immediately scanned the research notes.
【
Research Number: 1001
Abyssal Sea Flower:
Affinity: Void, Goblet
Research Content: Sea God, according to our research, this flower indeed possesses blood remodeling effects. However, even when purity is reduced below 1%, not even a fifth-tier Saint's body can resist this abyssal power.
Currently, our only method is to use the blood of abyssal sea beasts to alleviate the potion's side effects.
Moreover, only abyssal sea beast blood can cultivate this plant.
But according to our Lanternfish Investigation Team's research, in the current seas, obtaining large quantities of abyssal sea beast blood for mass production of this plant is completely unrealistic. After all, abyssal sea beasts ultimately remain a power we cannot control.】
Abyssal Sea Flower, blood treatment... A flash of anticipation appeared in Chen Qi's eyes.
Blood remodeling might be the method to counter black whale blood shown in the fate projections.
However, according to the research notes, mass production of this plant would require large quantities of abyssal sea beast blood.
Mass production of abyssal sea beast blood... Chen Qi stroked his chin.
For the Sea God Pirates, mass producing abyssal sea beast blood was an impossible task.
But for Chen Qi, as long as he could advance to Sea Shepherd and establish a massive sea beast army upon the ocean, an abyssal sea beast ranch wasn't an impossible endeavor!
Perhaps the black whale blood problem could truly be solved... Chen Qi carefully closed the box again for proper preservation.
If Big White Hair knew about this, she probably couldn't help but let out an "oh!" of surprise!
Chen Qi's mind involuntarily pictured the scene of the Ice Witch holding red tea, her teacup falling, mouth slightly agape.
Then, he opened the second box.
Inside the second box was a special obsidian cube.
Spatial coordinates! Chen Qi was stunned.
The obsidian cube—this was something he recognized, a unique rift item exclusive to Void Lamp affinity rifts!
This unique rift item could construct special spatial gates for rapid transportation between two locations.
He never expected the Sea God would have such a valuable item!
According to the previous statements from the Sea God Pirates' Archbishop, there should be a damaged teleportation gate within the Sublimation Land.
If they could recover that teleportation gate, then building a new one wouldn't be too problematic.
After confirming the items in the two crystal boxes, Chen Qi commanded Water Spirit No.1 and No.2 to thoroughly inventory everything here, arrange them together, and prepare to transport them ashore.
"Excellent!"
Chen Qi clapped his hands.
The gains from this expedition far exceeded his expectations.
Besides the treasure vault, the massive body of the abyssal leviathan Kraken was also valuable wealth.
He still needed to help Yisha transport that enormous Blood-Eye Core.
Using backpack cards could move many items, but completely transporting everything would still require considerable time.
Too many good things!
Can't move it all, simply impossible to move it all!
Can only move it slowly... Chen Qi worriedly held his head, then turned back to look at everyone.
The numerous high-ranking members of the Sea God Pirates were looking at him with tense expressions.
Chen Qi asked:
"What do you plan to do now?"
What do we plan to do? The Sea God Pirates' Archbishop and Haige were completely startled.
Undoubtedly, they currently had no power to defeat the Black Hunter.
Now the Sea God Pirates existed in name only.
Over many years, their territory had continuously expanded, with hundreds of thousands of people nearby, across hundreds of prosperous islands!
But how could an organization without a Saint possibly rule such a vast domain!
Once news of the Sea God Pirates' situation reached shore, their war with the Blood Blade Pirates would instantly end, and their plans to attack coastal areas would become utterly unrealistic fantasies.
Without a Saint leading them, they were nothing.
He bowed and said timidly:
"Black Hunter, I wonder if you would be interested in taking over our Sea God Pirates?
Well... of course, this depends on your willingness."
Take over the Sea God Pirates... Chen Qi was momentarily stunned.
The Sea God Pirates' members' speed of betrayal and submission far exceeded his imagination.
