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

"You're courting death, daring to earn this money. The Flower Witch's strength can easily crush a weak foreigner like you."

"I heard that recently, the famous Black Gloves from the Black Whale Group was half-incapacitated by an eighty-thousand-gold-coin Fireball Technique cast by the Flower Witch."

"A Fireball, really?"

The bounties exceeding ten million were all well-known figures.

The Flower Witch, though only Third Rank, had a bounty that had already exceeded twenty million!

Unless it was a Third-Tier Profession Bounty Hunter with Blade Phase.

Otherwise, almost no one would take on a bounty target exceeding ten million.

Why would the seafood lady from the Imperial Capital Three Jie be looking for the Flower Witch? Just to hang out? Chen Qi rubbed his chin.

On the game forums, there was never any mention of the seafood lady and the Flower Witch's relationship.

Moreover, Palu, as the captain of the Ice Demon Pirate Group, also had some connection with the Witch.

The Flower Witch was indeed the protagonist of the Witch Sea. So many people wanted to catch her alive. Chen Qi lightly tapped the table.

Palu hesitated for a moment and slowly asked:

"Why are you looking for the Witch?"

The blonde woman smiled and said:" "I want to claim the bounty."

That was a lie... Palu snorted and flicked the five Gold Coins back at the blonde woman's forehead, boldly saying:

"If I knew the Witch's whereabouts, I wouldn't be here making money. You might as well ask the drunken innkeeper next door. Maybe you'll find something. Next question."

The blonde woman bowed her head in disappointment.

In fact, the Flower Witch was in the inn next door… Chen Qi set his gaze on Palu.

As the captain of the Ice Demon Pirate Group, he should know a lot about the rift information.

Chen Qi downed his apple cider and asked:

"I want all the known rift information in Sea Demon Gorge. How much will that cost?"

With so many people around, if he only inquired about individual rift information, he could easily be targeted.

Palu's eyes fell on the chef's certificate on Chen Qi's chest:

"Sea Demon Gorge has over a hundred cracks. There is no such thing as comprehensive rift information.

Of course, if you only want the rifts' nature and locations, it will only cost five thousand Shell Coins."

Five thousand Shell Coins! Chen Qi was startled.

So cheap!

The other party was the captain of a well-known pirate group.

The information he sold only cost five thousand Shell Coins!

Chen Qi took out fifty hundred-value Shell Coins, rolled them into a small tube, and tossed it to Palu.

Palu caught the money:

"Alright. However, as a newly advanced Second Order Transcendent, there aren't many D-Rank cracks suitable for you in these seas."

He gently waved his hand and publicly displayed a rift map of Sea Demon Gorge.

To just display it directly like this…

Chen Qi focused his eyes.

The parchment map marked a lot of rift information.

Near Sea Demon Gorge, there were many areas with death whirlpools.

Whirlpool areas were universally recognized dangerous terrains on the sea. These terrains supposedly could swallow ships into another world.

Besides this, Sea Demon Gorge itself was surrounded by numerous giant mountains.

Thus, the whole Sea Demon Gorge was almost a one-way passage.

The majority of the rift locations were deep within Sea Demon Gorge.

And the rifts outside of Sea Demon Gorge had mostly been cleared by adventurers.

In other words, to reach high-order rifts, one had to go through the center of Sea Demon Gorge, where Sea Demons lurked.

In this place, the chance of encountering Sea Beasts was extremely high!

Chen Qi roughly understood why the rift location information map was so cheap.

As long as one dared to cross Sea Demon Gorge, there were plenty of rifts.

But even knowing the rift locations, no one dared to cross Sea Demon Gorge.

Moreover, Chen Qi noticed a conspicuous emblem on the map, a 'harp' symbol and a 'black shark' symbol.

Chen Qi asked:" "What do these two symbols mean?"

Palu plucked the strings of his harp and spoke in a deep voice:

"The harp signifies the Sea Demon's coral nest. Although there's a chance of encountering Sea Demons anywhere in Sea Demon Gorge,

the closer you are to this harp, the higher the probability of encountering Sea Demons.

If you don't want to die, block your ears and stay away from this place."

The Sea Demon's nest!

Chen Qi memorized this location firmly. When he returned, his primary target was to delve deep into the Sea Demon's nest.

Moreover, he was surprised to find that near the sound of the harp was an 'Shadow Phase Rift'!

Chen Qi asked:" "What about the black shark symbol?"

Palu's expression became a bit solemn:

"As for the black shark symbol, that involves the Black Whale Pirate Group…"

Everyone heard this and also voiced their complaints.

"Tell us more."

"The Black Shark is a ship under the Black Whale Group's banner, frequently active in Sea Demon Gorge.

Their leader, Kuang Sha, in terms of individual strength, is not inferior to the Black Gloves who handle gang affairs in Moonstone City."

Then, Palu placed his finger on a D-Rank rift.

This location was prominently marked.

"The D-Rank Blade Phase large rift, the Orc War, although currently just a D-Rank rift, this place was where the Deep Sea Hunter's arch-enemy, the Blue Beast, met its end!

Besides this, around it are C-Rank Floral Appearance rifts, which is also the resting place of the Pleasurable Elves.

Also, the Magic Bullet Gun, Sea Demon's Blade, and other relics.

But as you might have noticed, even if someone clears these rifts deep in Sea Demon Gorge and gets the treasure,

when they return, because of Sea Demon Gorge's terrain, there are very few navigation routes to choose from!"

Chen Qi carefully examined the information.

Just as Palu mentioned, many high-order rifts were located deep within Sea Demon Gorge.

If you wanted to take a shortcut, you'd have to pass by the 'harp' location.

But if you avoided the 'harp' location, the navigation routes you could choose from were highly limited.

After passing rifts, Transcendent's condition would already be seriously impaired.

Others could ambush along these routes.

In other words, this Sea Demon Gorge was a natural robbery hotspot!

Even if you cleared the rift, you'd still face threats from Sea Demons and pirates.

This was the danger of Sea Demon Gorge.

Chen Qi murmured:

"The Black Shark guards these places, intending to rob…"

Palu helplessly smiled:

"Yes, it's not just the Black Shark, but also the Black Whale Group's Devil Fish and Electric Jellyfish...

Of course, the Black Shark is the most dangerous since it always operates in Sea Demon Gorge. They're adept at coexisting with Sea Beasts and have practiced resisting the Sea Demons' songs.

Their leader, Kuang Sha, even dares to operate near the Sea Demon's nest.

Thus, holding the geographical advantage, they truly are the local tyrants of this sea!"

Troublesome… Chen Qi muttered to himself. His small houseboat was no match for a real pirate ship.

Adventurers coming here sighed. So what about multiple rifts? What about many opportunities?

These places were still firmly in the pirates' control!

Because of the Black Whale Group, many ships from Sea Demon Island didn't dare to enter Sea Demon Gorge.

At this moment, a tall, burly man in a navy uniform chugged his strong drink, suddenly stood up, and loudly said:

"Everyone, don't be afraid. Our navy has arrived at Sea Demon Island!

By order of our Admiral, we are preparing to join forces with other ships to enter Sea Demon Gorge together!"

Everyone turned and found it was indeed the navy.

"The navy is finally here..."

Palu touched his braided hair and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Inside the tavern were many adventurers from other factions as well.

The navy officer quickly became the center of attention in the tavern.

He explained to everyone that this afternoon, their navy ships would enter Sea Demon Gorge as the vanguard ships.

Any other ships interested in entering Sea Demon Gorge could follow behind them collectively to the rifts!

He also vowed that this operation would not be like before, where they extorted even a dime from adventurers.

The navy had been reformed!

Anyone who disobeyed would be executed!

Additionally, they would try to ensure the safety of other ships as much as possible.

Meat Cutting Bone Breaking, Pleasurable Elves…

Chen Qi looked at the rift information deep in Sea Demon Gorge.

The Black Whale Group had already occupied many key positions in Sea Demon Gorge.

Now, the navy decided to join with other ships to break this deadlock!

Undoubtedly, in this one-way sea passage, an unprecedented battle would erupt.

The navy had suffered repeated losses, and this rift battle was an opportunity to restore their reputation.

The Black Whale Group was already Chen Qi's enemy, and they'd indiscriminately attack passing ships.

Moreover, Teacher An should be on one of the navy ships.

The navy's appearance.

For Chen Qi, this was undoubtedly good news.

At this moment, Palu, taking advantage of the navy's speech, began counting today's earnings, a happy expression on his face.

Chen Qi got up and walked to Palu's side.
