Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

Before boarding, under the guidance of Black Whale Group personnel, the Black Rabbit gang had learned how to start the boiler, how to deal with storms, and how to handle sharks and cannon fire.

Now, they were facing the Sovereign of the Nearby Seas.

"We've just learned how to steer the ship."

"Stop talking nonsense, get your weapons out!"

"Where's the expert? Expert, save us!"

The Black Rabbit gang glanced at the expert at the bow of the ship.

The Black Whale Group expert, who had been holding a shotgun, now lay on the deck, his body gruesomely mangled by the Sovereign of the Nearby Seas' attack.

Amid the howling storm, fear turned into chaos, and chaos into the instinct to survive.

The Black Rabbit gang members picked up their fighting guns and aimed them at the massive creature before them.

Driven by a gangster's instinct, the leader of Black Rabbit yelled out:

"Do not fire!"

Before possessing absolute strength, attacking the Sovereign of the Nearby Seas was a direct path to self-destruction!

However, under the oppressive presence of the Sovereign of the Nearby Seas, the leader's command was utterly ineffective.

The Black Rabbit gang picked up their firearms and pulled the triggers.

They believed that all their fears stemmed from insufficient firepower!

Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!

Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tatat!

The sound of gunfire and scales clashing emitted brilliant sparks.

A round of bullets was quickly exhausted.

Under the full firepower of the Black Rabbit gang, the Sovereign of the Nearby Seas, the Black Ship Sea Dragon, slowly turned its head.

Its copper bell-like wise blue eyes blinked, as if saying, "Ah, are you shooting at me?".

The members of the Black Rabbit gang reloaded their rounds while retreating.

Boom!

The Sovereign of the Nearby Seas opened its massive jaws and charged towards the gang members shooting at it.

On this chaotic ship, the only person who could keep calm was the leader of the Black Rabbit gang, a man who had survived many gang fires.

"Anyone who can still move, abandon the ship, follow me to the lifeboat."

In the storm, Black Rabbit shielded himself from the rain with his hand, struggled to light a cigarette, straightened his suit, and quickened his pace along the slanted deck towards the "lifeboat".

He kept muttering to himself to stabilize his emotions.

"The Sovereign of the Nearby Seas is a beast, but judging from its current size, it's just a juvenile, its attacking desire is limited."

"The key to escaping is not the Sovereign of the Nearby Seas, but the chef from before, who led us into this trap, to the territory of the Sovereign of the Nearby Seas."

"A chef could actually pull off such a dangerous move.

Our lifeboat is limited in speed, the best escape tool, is that chef's boat."

"The best course of action is to seize the other party's boat, then escape."

"No, no, he was too calm, showing none of the respect that should be accorded to the Sovereign of the Nearby Seas."

Saying this, Black Rabbit leaned towards the side of the ship and looked out over the sea.

Out on the sea, Chen Qi had already descended from the cabin boat and was walking on the water.

He walked slowly, his black blade slicing through the water.

Beyond that, masses of black mud, as if answering the call of the sea, streaked past beneath his feet.

"..."

"..."

Black Rabbit bit down on his cigarette:

"How could a First Order Transcendent possibly master Water Walking?"

Water Walking required a very high degree of control over Spiritual Power.

Black Rabbit curiously asked,

"Chef, why can you master Water Walking? Are you a newly trained Mage Apprentice from the Shell Country Navy?"

Even with the enhancement of a Skill Card and the official training of Shell Country, this was not a Skill that a First Order Transcendent should have easily mastered.

Chen Qi turned his head,

"Navy? No, just an unregistered Hunter."

While shifting the topic to divert attention, Black Rabbit walked towards the lifeboat,

"Not the navy, really? I thought you were sent by the navy to eliminate us."

Qi Power!

Chen Qi circulated Qi Power within his body and with a big jump, he landed directly onto the deck, blocking the path of Black Rabbit to the lifeboat.

The nearshore overlord had the nature of a wild beast and limited intelligence.

Luring the nearshore overlord with food was a relatively reliable method.

At the moment, the nearshore overlord dashed toward the restaurant on the Black Rabbit just like a greedy husky, giving the people of Black Rabbit's gang a little 'foodie' shock.

Chen Qi, on the deck of the Black Rabbit, looked toward the Black Rabbit standing in front of him.

Many things still needed his personal involvement.

However, in these waters, it was not just the nearshore overlord that was a sea beast.

Black Mud, a slime-like sea beast, although not as notorious as the nearshore overlord, was also extremely dangerous.

A large mass of Black Mud writhed beneath the Black Rabbit, continuously gathering and climbing up the side of the ship like a giant black hand rising from the sea, clutching the Black Rabbit in its grasp.

In fact, the temper of the Ghost Fire Fish in this sea area was also very volatile.

If the Ghost Fire Fish had not been plucked clean, the current scene would have been even more spectacular.

Black Mud spread onto the deck, enveloping and devouring any humans in its sight.

For some reason, some Black Mud also ran up from Chen Qi's non-slip Hunter boots, along his thigh, and into his clothes.

The Black Mud adhered to Chen Qi's body but did not attack.

This scene, in the eyes of Black Rabbit, made the ordinary Chen Qi seem all the more terrifying.

The people of the Black Rabbit Gang all looked toward Chen Qi, entwined in Black Mud.

"Monster…"

"Why can he stand within the Black Mud!"

"This guy is definitely not normal! He's a monster! The monster who lured us here!"

The people of the Black Rabbit Gang backed away, and in this storm, they even dared not look directly at Chen Qi.

At that moment, only one person stepped forward.

Bang!

Black Rabbit took a step forward.

If even he, the leader, shrank back, then of the fifty people on board, who could confront the man in front of them! Who else could live to return!

As the gang leader, Black Rabbit had mastered the Breathing Skill and the Body Forging Skill, and also possessed a powerful small armor.

Chen Qi took a deep breath and circulated the airflow within his body.

A desire for battle warmed his heart and brought him in front of Black Rabbit.

Whether it was the Breathing Skill or any other skill, they could only improve in real combat!

It was time to feel the strength of a Second-tier enemy in this world!

"Perhaps I am meant to choose the Blade Phase…" Chen Qi's eyes hardened as his fingers gently slid across the blade, igniting the Ghost Fire Oil coated on it.

Blue flames lit up the gray sea.

Black Rabbit's eyes were no longer weary, and he tore open his own clothes,

"I really didn't expect to use this the first time out at sea."

On his robust body, a large number of steam pipes were attached to his skin, resembling a multitude of dark tattoos.

Chen Qi's eyes lit up.

The latest model of Black Rabbit's small armor, and moreover, a rare implanted type!
