Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 54 The First Pet

The Third Commoners' District in Moonstone City.

Chen Qi stepped through the narrow, dark tunnel and emerged from the entrance of the crack.

The Black Rabbit gang is very likely lying in wait at the rift.

Chen Qi looked around warily.

The time flow rate of the rift is synchronized with reality.

Now, night has fallen, and moonlight shines upon this chaotic city in the remote corner of the world.

Chen Qi scanned the surroundings.

The dilapidated streetlights flickered, the walls were riddled with bullet holes and smoke marks, some shops were in ruins, and the air still smelled of gunpowder.

The moment he emerged, the drunken plumber on the street and the woman reading a newspaper on the rooftop all glanced at him simultaneously.

Among them were spies from the gang.

Gangs are like a swarm of rats; they do their best to use their group advantage to oppress the weak individuals.

Guarding the entrance to the rift and then robbing the rewards of the weak is a common tactic used by many gangs.

Although no one except the Flower Witch should know that he defeated the old hunter.

However, it cannot be ruled out that some people might guess that it is him based on some clues.

After all, he was another hunter in the hunting grounds besides the Flower Witch.

Of course, no matter what, he was the hunter chosen by the old hunter.

Unless they can gather a team of ten, they shouldn't dare to make a move against gangs like the Black Rabbit.

If they dare to make a move...

They could certainly give it a try.

Chen Qi walked along the street toward his little houseboat.

He was confident that he could defeat the Black Rabbit Gang members, provided they did not face a large-scale siege.

Chen Qi walked briskly along the street.

"guest……"

Suddenly, a voice called out to him.

In the dark corner in front of him sat an old man reading a newspaper.

It was the old man at the newsstand who gave him the information.

The old man glanced through the newspaper and said to Chen Qi:
"Guest, it seems you've had a very fruitful day. But if I may be so bold as to warn you, rabbits are always very vengeful. If possible, please make sure to leave this rabbit burrow tonight."

However, there's no need to worry too much; the rabbits' king is not in the nest, but has gone to the Moonstone Islands.

Gang members each have their own territory. The place he is in is the territory of the Black Rabbit Gang, also known as the Rabbit's Den.

"Isn't the leader of the Black Rabbits in Moonstone City...?" Chen Qi looked at the old man.

As a lamp master and a member of the extraordinary organization "Newspaper", his intelligence gathering speed is top-notch.

Chen Qi said:

"Thanks for the reminder."

The old man adjusted his glasses:
"Guest, I would like to ask, did the Flower Witch really appear in the hunting grounds? And is she the same Flower Witch from a hundred years ago?"

Chen Qi thought for a moment and replied:

"A witch has indeed appeared, but in my personal opinion, she doesn't seem to be the Flower Witch from a hundred years ago."

The old man at the newsstand's pupils contracted, and then his brows furrowed:

"Is that so? Then Peluru missed out on a huge news story. Everyone else except you has been snatched up by the major newspapers..."

It was taken by the newspaper?

The appearance of the Flower Witch was undoubtedly a major news event that shocked the entire Witch Sea.

For this news story, the newspaper will definitely interview the hunters who participated in the hunting grounds.

Am I going to be on the news? Chen Qi scratched his head.

Then, the old man continued:

"Guest, please be careful during your recent voyage. In other countries, witches are considered an ominous sign, and their appearance often foreshadows a great disaster."

Of course, the rift tides themselves are a disaster.

At this point, the old man looked at Chen Qi, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes:
"However, guest, I really didn't expect that you would be chosen as the hunter by the old hunter. I initially thought you were just a chef, but it seems that I was wrong. You are a very capable chef."

The newspaper's veteran had met many people, and it had been a long time since he had made such a grave misjudgment of someone's abilities.

His intuition even told him that the other party might be related to the passage through the hunting grounds' rift. "It's alright."

Chen Qi answered modestly.

However, he has not yet fully mastered the body-strengthening and breathing techniques.

According to player guides, only those who have fully mastered the Body Tempering Technique and Breathing Technique can be considered qualified first-tier transcendents.

Of course, this is the standard for players who prioritize combat power; it's more than enough to deal with ordinary gang members.

After bidding farewell to the old man, Chen Qi quickened his pace and headed towards the port of Moonstone City.

He had something urgent to do.

In the hunting grounds, the most important item he obtained was the seven deep-sea spirits.

Deep-sea creatures need to be placed in seawater to awaken their true form.

……

……

Chen Qi arrived at the port and turned on the ship's lights.

With so many people around, waking up the deep-sea creatures in the harbor is not a good choice.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Qi decided to sail the small houseboat to the waters near Moonstone City.

Going out to sea at night is an extremely dangerous activity, with a high risk of encountering sea monsters in certain waters.

However, this didn't matter to Chen Qi.

Moreover, as long as he remains within the lighthouse's range in Moonstone City, many monsters dare not attack him.

Chen Qi piloted his small houseboat to the sea area outside Moonstone City.

He placed seven small water spheres in the seawater, waiting for the deep-sea spirits to hatch.

"They should be fully hatched by tomorrow morning..."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Qi took out the 'White Mist Breathing' skill card and used it.

The card surface dissipated like white mist at my fingertips.

Knowledge of breathing techniques flooded my mind.

You have successfully mastered the 'White Mist Breathing Technique'. Your stamina has greatly increased, and your agility has increased by 1.

I took a deep breath at dawn, feeling the gas flowing through my body.

After mastering the breathing technique, his speed and the calmness of his movements will be greatly improved.

Like the physical training method, the breathing method still requires a period of practice to fully digest.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Qi began his daily exercise routine, striving to master the body-strengthening and breathing techniques as soon as possible.

Your Constitution +1, Your Strength +1

Your stamina has increased slightly, and your agility has increased by 1.

The movements in body-strengthening exercises are all extremely high-intensity movements.

Chen Qi felt the sweat on his body and his strength gradually increasing.

Before we knew it, the night had deepened, and from the distant sea, we could see dark shadows constantly moving beneath the surface.

Dangerous... Chen Qi looked wearily at the sea.

So far, apart from the coastal overlords, he has not encountered any dangerous supernatural sea monsters at sea.

He didn't encounter any dangerous sea monsters; it's hard to say whether he was lucky or unlucky.

Next, you can actively look for these sea creatures.

Chen Qi closed his eyes, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep.

The next day, the daytime flames were lit, and the warm sunlight shone on his face.

Chen Qi, lying on the bed, opened his blurry eyes and looked at the chandelier in the boathouse.

Suddenly, he felt a heavy, slippery sensation in his chest.

It's also a little bit soft...

what.

Chen Qi subconsciously reached out and grabbed the jelly-like substance on his chest.

Then, a slime with big blue eyes winked at him.
