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

Chapter 531: Chapter 338 What Did You Call Me?_2

“`

Just now, this person seemed about to give up some useful information, along with a Blade Release Legendary Skill Card.

Chen Qi crouched down and gently asked,

“Go on, the information you know!”

“…”

The Blood Demon Doctor opened his blurred eyes, looked at Chen Qi in terror, and struggled to lift his hand to point at his completely damaged vocal organs.

“Wuu… Wuu…”

“Refusing to talk, huh!”

Without hesitation, Chen Qi punched him!

Pfft! The Blood Demon Doctor spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and then pointed at his damaged throat again:

“…”

Seeing the state of the Blood Demon Doctor, Chen Qi frowned and raised his fist again:

“Still won’t talk…”

“No, I’ll speak…”

In his desperation, the Blood Demon Doctor unleashed a potential he had never shown before, using the last of his spiritual power to heal his throat!

Chen Qi looked at the Blood Demon Doctor with a slight smile.

Weakly and with great effort, the Blood Demon Doctor said,

“Hunter… spare me… I am a researcher from Devil Island, I can tell you about the Black Death Doctor’s plan, a plan that is closely related to you, even, I could save you all…”

Save us? Given the state of the Blood Demon Doctor, it didn’t seem like he was lying… Chen Qi twirled the ‘dice’ in his hand and asked,

“What plan?”

Grasping his damaged heart, the Blood Demon Doctor said,

“We at Devil Island are researching great whale blood, a substance that can strengthen sea beasts and evolve humans. The essence of this power is very likely from a great presence of the boundary, the Great Whale that once destroyed Witch Sea…”

As he spoke, a glimmer of yearning flashed in the Blood Demon Doctor’s eyes:

“Of course, this power is not just about enhancement. At the same time, it also delineates a path to sainthood for legends, no, it’s a higher level of power! An even more insane power! Only at the edge of an A-rank Crack Tide could one glimpse the divine path of a deity…”

The Blood Demon Doctor emphasized the word “deity,” for in their pursuit of eternity, their physical lifespan had long been unlimited, but they were still subject to the pursuit of the Lantern Death God’s Angels.

But if they could surpass the Saint, they could fight death itself.

Fen walked behind Chen Qi, bending her legs, and also looked at the weakened Blood Demon Doctor.

Chen Qi coldly said,

“Continue.”

The Blood Demon Doctor whispered,

“Ordinary research subjects can no longer withstand the boundless power of high-purity great whale blood. Only a legend with the spiritual power origin and flesh of a legend is qualified to bear this power…

Pure great whale blood can easily poison a legend to death, and according to our current experimental hypothesis, an ordinary legend has only a one in thousand chance to withstand this power.”

Even legends had merely a one in a thousand chance of enduring… Chen Qi blinked.

The probability derived from this theory was extremely terrifying.

Under normal circumstances, such an experiment would not succeed, no matter if one killed their way through Witch Sea.

The Blood Demon Doctor continued,

“If one could possess a power above that of Saints, powers almost unfathomable, then what is sacrificing an entire Witch Sea compared to that?

Therefore, the Black Whale Group has two thoughts. First, increase the number of legends by plundering resources in large quantities to help members of the Black Whale Group advance and, at the same time, not interfere with other Transcendents’ advancements…

That’s also why the Black Whale Group posts Bounty Orders but has never pursued supernovas. Only after they become legends do they have value as research subjects…”

A severely straightforward and brutal plan… Chen Qi thought to himself.

Even in the context of the Crack Tide, the feasibility of this plan was still incredibly slim.

In the distance, Little Crow listened with trepidation; lately, many of her superiors had been mysteriously awarded ‘Legend’ Occupation Cards!

The Blood Demon Doctor went on,

“Besides, they have a second plan, the plan of the Witch’s Coffin…”

“The Witch’s Coffin?”

Chen Qi’s face showed curiosity as he prompted further.

Gritting his teeth, the Blood Demon Doctor said,

“Yes, if legends cannot withstand it, let the Saints bear it. The Book Saint from the Tower of Books, the Sea God from the Sea God Pirate Group, they are also considered candidates, but these are all too far-fetched. And according to the theory, even for a Saint, the probability of success is very slim, perhaps only one-tenth; their spiritual power origins may not withstand the power of the Deep Sea…”

“`

“Of course, if the Saint cannot withstand it, then let those above the Saint take the burden. In the Witch Sea, there exists a legend of fragility, our prime target, which is the Ice Witch, slumbering in an ancient coffin.

The spiritual power origin of the Ice Witch had surpassed that of the Saints’, but after the battle with the Great Whale, she fell to a state where she only possessed the power of a Saint. In Whale Father’s view, the Ice Witch might be able to endure the boundless might of the Great Whale!

This is also the fundamental reason for the battle between Whale Father and the Ice Witch in the last era…”

The Ice Witch… Chen Qi touched his forehead.

Although their goals were completely different, both the Black Whale Group and the Flower Witch wanted to open the Witch’s Coffin to see the Ice Witch.

This might be why the Black Whale Group, until now, had not deployed the Blood Hunters.

Fen fell into deep thought, always assuming that the Black Whale Group aimed to steal the knowledge of the Ice Witch to ascend a Saint, but she hadn’t considered that their intent was to use her teacher’s body.

Chen Qi sorted through the intelligence.

Firstly, the goals of the Black Whale Group and theirs were highly aligned.

In addition, the Black Whale Group would formally begin their all-out pursuit.

And… Chen Qi, combining the various previous situations, could faintly sense that in the Black Whale Group’s eyes, he, who possessed the Deep Sea Affinity, was an experimental subject of higher quality than the other Legends.

“The Whale Father cannot leave the Mist Sea…”

The Blood Demon Doctor continued:

“The Witch and Hunter, let me go, and I can… help you… avoid the abilities of the Blood Hunters…”

With that, he lifted his hand and passed a ‘tumor’, a relic of the Cup Witch, to Chen Qi.

Chen Qi accepted the “relic” before him.

[Hel’s Blood

Nature: Cup

Effect: A relic created by the Cup Witch Hel, an unlimitedly increasing chunk of flesh, usable for various experiments and flesh surgeries.

Note: In order to grant those mutilated by war a healthy body, the Cup Witch sought knowledge from the Book Witch, went to an A-rank Crack, and combined Witch Relics to create this miracle.]

Compared to other relics, this one truly looked terrifying… Chen Qi thought silently.

Nevertheless, from the tooltip, the original purpose of creating this relic was to help more injured people.

Unfortunately, Fen was not an expert in flesh research, and neither was I… Chen Qi stored the relic away.

Once they opened the Witch’s Coffin, they could sell this relic to a talented doctor.

The Blood Demon Doctor looked into the distance, his pupils contracting as he muttered:

“Please… take me with you… I can take you with me… Hunter, in my treasure vault, there’s a Legendary Blade Phase Skill Card. Just let me go, and I’ll take you there…”

Clang!

Suddenly, the pupils of the Blood Demon Doctor shrank, and he nervously looked behind Chen Qi at Little Crow.

That damn Little Crow had stolen the treasures from the Devil Island Research Institute!

Don’t look at me… Little Crow, carrying the medical box, was visibly nervous.

This medical box contained her happiness for the rest of her life!

“It’s her! She has it!”

Without hesitation, the Blood Demon Doctor betrayed Little Crow.

With a forced smile, he awaited the Black Hunters to employ the same cruel methods on Little Crow that they had used on him!

Hmm? Chen Qi turned around, his eyes bloodshot under the cloak, looking at the familiar figure before him.

At this moment, Little Crow was not wearing a mask. But compared to her previous mysterious appearance with the mask, she now had a more aloof demeanor.

Forget it, just destroy it… Little Crow turned back and looked at the many researchers hiding behind her.

She forced out a bitter smile, her face covered in cold sweat, and with a rigid smile, she attempted a flattering expression, saying:

“Hunter sir, this is my gift to you. It includes an ancient potion and a Legendary Blade Phase Skill Card, which is perfect for you…”

Having finished speaking, the ineptly flattering Little Crow straightened up, holding up high the Legendary Skill Card and the potion, handing them to the monster before her.

Chen Qi took the items, saying with a smile:

“Thank you, it’s been a long time, Little Crow…”

“Hunter… sir…, it’s my honor to be of help to you…”

Little Crow managed a bitter smile, desperately recalling the unsightly fawning faces of pirates.

Wait a minute…

Little Crow suddenly realized.

The monster in front of her, had he just said ‘it’s been a long time’ and also called her Little Crow?
