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

Nature Form: Blade

Equipment requirements: constitution 25 (minimum required)

Description: A piece of Transcendent equipment made from the Blade Phase of disaster.

Entwining Residual Fire: When wearing this equipment, black tendrils will emanate from the inner side of your clothes, entwining your limbs.

These tendrils will overdraw your body's potential, greatly enhancing your agility, strength, and burst speed. They have a certain degree of automatic counterattack functionality, intercepting attacks from all directions.

Simultaneously, in this state, your resistance to liquid-based and psychic attacks from deep sea creatures will be significantly heightened.

Residual Fire Bloom: For a short period, eight semi-translucent tendrils, burning with blue flames, will extend from the inner side of your clothes, acting as extensions of your limbs.

Note: Using this equipment will rapidly deplete your stamina and spirit, and you will experience intense feelings of rage.]

Residual Fire Touch...

Chen Qi looked at the description of the equipment.

A piece of Transcendent equipment that greatly consumed spirit.

Once equipped, it would be like wearing a garment made of black tendrils.

Of course, from the surface, it looked like an ordinary piece of ragged clothing.

Chen Qi stared at the azure gem, imagining a scene in his mind.

When he was fighting hand-to-hand with someone, a small black tendril would suddenly emerge from beneath his clothes, launching a sneaky attack on his opponent.

The attributes this equipment enhanced were rare, and the enhancement was considerable.

Even a worn-out skeleton could become so powerful, so once he equipped it, he should be able to take off, right?

Chen Qi chuckled:

"Well, I didn't expect the Deep Sea Hunter to be such a person after all."

In this country that believed in the Hammer Phase, most people still preferred armor-type equipment.

In the Witch Sea, such tentacled, spirit-affecting Transcendent equipment was usually only used by those who believed in deep sea creations.

In people's perceptions, the Deep Sea Hunter was a hunter who tore through the ocean with a powerful physique, not someone who would use such weird equipment!

But now, it seemed that the Deep Sea Hunter might have worn this equipment every day before his death, only it was not noticeable from the surface.

Chen Qi opened the backpack card and carefully placed the Residual Fire Touch inside after confirming there were no issues.

With his current sore body, he was in no condition to wear this garment.

"It's time to leave."

Chen Qi dusted off the dirt on the ground, stood up, and glanced at the sleeping female fire dragon.

The female fire dragon's health had already fallen below half, and once it awakened, it would leave this island.

If he could kill the female fire dragon, the rewards would increase further.

This creature's health was too high, making it difficult to muster any will to attack.

Obtaining the Residual Fire Touch was already quite a good harvest; there was no need to forcefully pursue the rewards for clearing the crack.

The risk was too high.

"It's okay now, it's okay, let's go."

Chen Qi comforted the panicked Deep Sea Water Elf.

These Water Elves possessed higher intelligence and were more easily frightened.

Just now, for them to charge forward resolutely required considerable courage.

Chen Qi headed towards the dragon's nest at the mountain peak, searching for dragon's breath grass, and yanked them out.

There were as many as ten dragon's breath grass.

With such a quantity, the Flower Witch should be quite pleased... Chen Qi collected the dragon's breath grass and began walking down the mountain along the original path.

Thanks to his balancing skill, the rugged mountain roads were still manageable.

Suddenly, Chen Qi heard the sound of wings flapping in the sky.

He suddenly remembered something.

Where was Little Red Riding Hood?

From the start of the battle, the arrogant Little Red Riding Hood had become the taunt unit.

During the battle, he and the fire dragon, two strong adversaries, had fought to the foot of the mountain.

How did it go? Did she win?

Chen Qi wondered privately.

Even though the male fire dragon was much weaker than the female fire dragon,

facing a male fire dragon alone was still an exceptionally difficult task.

Chen Qi looked up and saw a severely injured fire dragon struggling to fly towards the mountain peak.

Not bad, Little Red Riding Hood, pretty capable fighter!

Chen Qi felt pleased.

This was good news; when the injured male fire dragon returned to the peak and saw its sleeping mate, it would probably give the female fire dragon a couple of slaps.

If that happened, the two injured fire dragons would leave this place, meeting the crack's clearing condition.

At this moment, Chen Qi heard heavy breathing.

He took a few steps towards the sound.

Amidst a pile of broken rocks, Little Red Riding Hood lay covered in blood, her golden hair under her hat in disarray, and her chest rising and falling.

She was already strong enough, fully living up to her previous arrogant display.

But for a Second-order Transcendent, fighting a fire dragon alone came with a heavy price.

Chen Qi pulled up his Hunter's hood, ensuring his face remained unseen, and glanced carefully.

Little Red Riding Hood, catching her breath in her last moments, muttered weakly to herself:

"I will come back...to marry you...my beloved...wife..."

"??"

Chen Qi raised an eyebrow.

Wife?

It seemed he had overheard some earth-shattering secret.

Chen Qi quickly ran his brain through some thoughts.

In the Witch Sea, a meticulous and polite gentleman should not easily assume someone's gender, species, or orientation.

It wasn't something rare.

No need to overreact... Chen Qi thought to himself.

The opponent's injured body was recovering at a very slow rate, not needing his help.

Besides, she probably still had some trump cards left unused.

Unlike other players, he did not have a masochistic tendency and did not want to engage with the hot-tempered Little Red Riding Hood any further for the moment.

The Blood Blade Pirate Group's troubles were too many to handle, not something he could deal with now.

He still had to find the Flower Witch.

Chen Qi tossed a Healing Potion to her and then walked down the mountain.

As he left, Little Red Riding Hood's blood-stained eyes showed a hint of fear.

"Who...the fight...is it over?"

She seemed surprised that someone could come down from above.

She wanted to call out to him, but the burning sensation in her throat prevented her from making any sound.

...

...

After four hours, Chen Qi finally descended the mountain and returned to the seaside.

The number of boats had decreased by ten, leaving only ten hunters who had exited the crack.

"Nice scenery."

The exhausted Chen Qi sat by the seaside, holding the Deep Sea Water Elf, feeling the cool seawater wash over his feet and quietly enjoying the sea breeze, taking a break.

The Deep Sea Water Elf nestled against Chen Qi, giving their tired master a massage.

After a while, he slowly looked up.

Finally, the two fire dragons circled in the sky like stars, disappearing into the distant horizon.

"Finally, they're gone..."

Chen Qi gently squeezed the Deep Sea Water Elf in his arms.

[The two fire dragons were driven away, crack completed.]
