Chapter 144: Chapter 123 Who Are You the Heir to?
Transcendent creatures naturally choose to hunt food high in spiritual power first.
Flower Witch, with her innate special constitution, was targeted by many monsters during her childhood training.
It was for this reason that she, inherently taunting, even fantasized about becoming an excellent Shield Axe Warrior, a glorious Dragon Slayer.
Later, she discovered that, under the influence of the Blood Flower disease, she had difficulty even moving.
The Flower Witch's eyes moved up and down, staring blankly at the fish bait ball in Chen Qi's hand.
Chen Qi then casually tossed out another Extraordinary Fish Bait.
Then, blackclad sharks and large sea snakes, at least ten times their size, scurried to eat the fish bait.
Just like feeding kittens and puppies...
Completely ignoring her!
This behavior was nothing like the bully of the seas!
What on earth did he put in this Extraordinary Fish Bait ball? An aphrodisiac?
Could it be that this Extraordinary Fish Bait really tasted better than her?
The Flower Witch swallowed hard, finding herself tempted to taste the bait.
Noticing the Flower Witch's gaze, Chen Qi spoke seriously:
"Fen, do you know?
In our Chef community, true skill is definitely not just about satisfying the appetite of ordinary humans.
A truly elegant Chef's real goal is to satisfy the appetites of all creatures in this world.
In ancient times, Chefs could satisfy not only humans but various entities, such as vampires, dragons, Enchanting Demons, slimes, Sea Hags, and so on!
For example, it is said that in order to advance to the legendary Fourth Rank profession [Grand Dragon Chef], one had to conquer the taste buds of a high-quality dragon with their culinary skills.
This is also recorded in [Basic Qualities of a Chef]."
Chen Qi seriously made up.
Complete Form of Soul Seasoning, used to make Extraordinary Fish Bait, is considered a good delicacy for both humans and sea beasts.
Therefore, as a Chef, it was quite normal for him to make a delicacy that would attract sea beasts.
Of course, even though the Extraordinary Fish Bait was delicious, it was also an important reason that they obediently ate the bait because of Chen Qi himself.
"I've learned..."
The Flower Witch felt that what Chen Qi said made a lot of sense.
She suddenly realized that the Transcendent profession of Chef, which had always been criticized in the Transcendent realm, actually possessed this hidden power!
Above them, Kuang Sha, who was being ignored, grabbed hold of the ship's guardrail and roared:
"Can't believe there's a little fish oblivious to its own peril."
While Kuang Sha's mouth was taunting, his heart couldn't help being cautious.
His gaze was fixed on Chen Qi.
The face was not visible, and the clothes he wore were the ragged Hunter gear that had been popular last century.
Yet on the rough Hunter gear, there spread out some semi-transparent, illusionary tentacles.
Like a strange combination of a Hunter and a tentacled monster.
Besides, having only the aura of a Second-tier Transcendent, he could stand steadily on the sea just like a Witch!
Surrounded by sea beasts, he remained rational.
And why did this man also have the Sea Witch necklace, a family heirloom of his?
Could it be his father lied to him, saying the Sea Witch necklace was offered wholesale?
Kuang Sha had too many questions in his heart:
"Kid, I don't kill nobodies! Tell me your origins!"
Chen Qi did not answer, silently pulling out the Collector, loading bullets.
There was nothing to say to a creature on the verge of death.
First, he loaded two regular bullets, then two spiral magic bullets.
Kuang Sha spat out a breath mixed with blood energy:
"Kid, you wouldn't be that freshly-minted genius of the Sea God Pirate Group, would you? The successor to the Deep Sea Hunter's rival?"
Who?
The successor to the Deep Sea Hunter's rival?
Chen Qi couldn't remember immediately who the other party was talking about.
After a Legend dies, a bunch of inexplicable inheritors always emerge.
In the Witch Sea, there indeed was a famous powerhouse—Hai Ge.
He claimed to be the heir of the Blue Beast, the arch-enemy of the Deep Sea Hunters, bent on making the world feel the terror of the ocean!
But what does this man have to do with me?
Chen Qi thought for a moment, and given that he had Yu Huo's power right from the start, he was clearly an heir of the Deep Sea Hunter!
The heir of deep-sea monsters, what's that got to do with him?
"A completely wrong guess."
Chen Qi spun the gun in his hand, aiming at Kuang Sha.
Bang! Bang!
Two bullets struck Kuang Sha's body, splashing a few tiny drops of blood.
The body of a Third Rank Cup-shaped Transcendent had long been impervious to ordinary bullets.
The Flower Witch gripped her magic wand, casting a barrier:
"Qi, calm down. He's been hit by my Blood Flower Skill. His life will be continuously drained by the flowers. As long as we keep our distance, we'll be the victors."
Steady, don't rush in!
The sea breeze kept surging.
Just as the Flower Witch said, Kuang Sha was bleeding profusely, badly wounded.
It's not that simple... Chen Qi reminded:
"Fen, be careful, he might have a second phase..."
Boom!
Kuang Sha suddenly leaped from the ship and stood above the sea:
"Witch, and monster, your only mistake was stepping into my domain!"
The moment he stood on the sea, the sea beasts felt the presence of the Black Whale and scattered in all directions.
What's the use of momentarily luring sea beasts with bait if his Black Whale presence could suppress them?
Shark Wave Fist!
He threw another punch, targeting the Flower Witch!
A mass of water elements gathered in his hand, forming a colossal Shark Wave!
Basic attack technique!
The Flower Witch didn't choose to defend; instead, she rapidly converged her Spiritual Power to unleash her signature move.
Boom!
Their attacks collided, creating giant waves and a thunderous roar!
The waves fell.
"Cough, cough..."
The Flower Witch held her bleeding abdomen, her standing posture unsteady.
Kuang Sha's condition was even more severe, his flesh a blur with ghastly white bones exposed.
Kuang Sha clenched his teeth.
No, he couldn't defeat the Flower Witch at all, and he was close to death!
Kuang Sha spat out a large amount of blood, turned his head to the side, and shifted his target.
He couldn't defeat the Flower Witch, but he could defeat Chen Qi.
Now, the only option he could think of was perhaps to take this Second-order Transcendent as a hostage.
Then, with the power of Black Whale blood, he could pass through the sea area swarming with sea beasts!
Finally, he could just toss Chen Qi into the sea to feed the beasts, take the relics, and escape without trouble.
Pick on the softer targets!
If the other party truly is the heir of the Blue Beast of the deep sea!
Then according to their pirate rules, by killing Chen Qi, he would be the new heir!
Harboring such thoughts, Kuang Sha took out a black block of blood from his backpack card:
"Damn it, come on! If you two have the guts, kill me!"
There was still half of the Black Whale blood that little crow gave him!
He opened his mouth as if gnawing on a wriggling heart, biting off the blood of the great whale.
However, the moment he swallowed the Black Whale blood, his body suddenly swelled again, emitting the sound of clashing steel, like a wriggling black mountain.
Sharp dorsal fins sprouted abruptly from his back, resembling those of a shark.
Crunch! Crunch!
Two rows of sharp teeth grew out of the corners of his mouth, glaringly cold, sending shivers down one's spine.
