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

Chapter 615: Chapter 372 The Extremely Stubborn Witch_2

Chen Qi served Fen a bowl of fish soup, handing it to her:

“Eat more, don’t starve yourself.”

“Thank you, Qi, your soup is really tasty!”

Fen took the fish soup, drinking it with an expression of enjoyment.

“Alright, everyone, let’s eat.”

Chen Qi said loudly.

Clang! Clang!

Before long, everyone was gathered around the steaming Magic Potion Pot, relishing the rare tranquility and warmth.

Palu and Bree sat on Chen Qi’s right side, while Fen sat on his left.

The little crow had entered stealth mode, sipping the fish soup.

Even the Witch Queen, the Ice Witch, sat cross-legged elegantly.

As an Ascetic, I shouldn’t indulge in too much delicious food… the Ice Witch thought to herself, sipping a small mouthful of fish soup.

Delicious, so delicious, it tastes even better than black tea! The Ice Witch’s cheeks flushed rosily as she took small sips with a spoon.

Compared to others who were devouring their food, the Ice Witch’s manner of eating was the epitome of elegance.

Chen Qi also sat down cross-legged, resting his face on his hand, and asked:

“How is it, Witch? Does it suit your taste?”

The Ice Witch’s face turned red, and she pursed her lips:

“It’s quite alright.”

Then the Ice Witch continued to ask:

“By the way, how did you manage to get so many sea fish?”

Chen Qi explained:

“Thanks to my own talent, plus the fact that I’ve learned High-class Fishing Skill, it’s not hard to catch food on the open sea.”

“I see…”

A flash of surprise glinted in the Ice Witch’s eyes.

She hadn’t expected that the hardest problem of the Sea Coffin, finding food, would be solved so simply by Chen Qi!

Even for her, in this world of ice and frost, the only way to resist the overwhelming hunger was to push through stubbornly.

This little dark-haired chef isn’t too bad, wait, Angela, you must not be tempted by mere food… the Ice Witch thought, while sipping the soup like a lazy little white cat, blissfully happy.

At this point, Palu asked a key question:

“Witch, in this case, can each of us smoothly clear the A-tier Crack Sea Coffin?”

Clearing an A-tier Crack! The crowd revealed excited expressions, looking eagerly at the Ice Witch and the Black Hunter.

The challenge of the Sea Coffin was extremely difficult; without finding a hidden exit or possessing special items, one had to stay for fifteen days to leave the Crack and earn rewards!

And the rewards increased significantly with each additional day stayed!

If they could endure for eighteen days, they could almost guarantee a reward evaluation of C-tier for everyone!

The C-tier reward of an A-tier Crack surpassed that of ordinary Cracks!

This would be an unimaginable fortune!

Even before entering the Witch’s Coffin, everyone was prepared for an eighty percent chance of a deadly outcome, and to think that all would safely leave the Witch’s Coffin was an unrealistic fantasy!

Currently, including the prisoners from the Black Whale Group, they had a total of seventy people!

Seventy people passing through an A-tier Crack would be considered a rare miracle in the world!

And the accumulated rewards for seventy people would make adventurers and merchants across the Witch Sea, no, the entire sea, green with envy!

That is to say, as long as they could safely leave the Witch Sea, they were on their way to completing an earth-shattering treasure hunt!

Of course, there were still two key problems to address.

First, the issue of food, they must ensure there was enough to feed everyone on the ship.

Second, monsters—the longer they stayed, the more powerful monsters they would attract.

And then, they could very well face monsters of Saint Level!

At this moment, Palu asked again:

“Qi, for the food aspect, can we sustain it for eighteen days?”

If there’s not enough fish, I can just catch you a Lord of Condensation… Chen Qi replied quite relaxedly:

“In terms of food, I should not have a problem.”

Everyone’s eyes shone with golden light, and they vaguely saw a massive pillar!

Undoubtedly, that was the substantive support from the Black Hunter!

High combat ability and also good at cooking!

For a while, the members of the Ice Demon Pirate Group felt their devotion wavering, even Captain Palu who never abandons his crew and dressed up flamboyantly seemed less appealing!

If Captain Palu wasn’t still around, the members of the Ice Demon Pirate Group would have loved to clasp Chen Qi’s leg and kiss it a hundred times over to swear their loyalty!

Palu, having received an affirmative reply, then turned to say:

“Witch, can you help us fight the monsters attracted by eighteen days?”

The Ice Witch was stunned for a moment and her hand holding the fish soup involuntarily shook.

She hesitated, and she couldn’t… Chen Qi thought.

If what he saw in Time Condensation was not an illusion, then the Ice Witch as she was now was really just toughing it out!

She may be strong, but facing a Saint Level monster would likely still give her a hard time.

Chen Qi moistened his throat, ready to help the Ice Witch decline the offer.

However, the Ice Witch elegantly sipped a mouthful of fish soup, didn’t answer, and just smiled faintly:

“Humph~”

Seeing this, Bree suddenly slapped his captain:

“Captain Palu, how utterly disrespectful!”

“Are you questioning Witch’s strength?”

“A mere Saint Level monster pose a threat to the Ice Witch?”

Huh? Palu lifted his head, looking around at everyone with confusion.

All he saw were people throwing him looks as if he were a fool.

That is the mightiest witch who took no damage from drinking Black Whale Blood, the Blue Beast!

A witch who once reached the Demigod Rank has lived through countless eras, witnessing innumerable histories.

And yet, Palu dared to question the strength of the Ice Witch!

Even if the Ice Witch were to drink tea with one hand and read a book with the other, she could obliterate a Fifth Rank monster!

“…”

Everyone felt the Ice Witch was invincible… Chen Qi looked helplessly towards the Ice Witch.

Only to see, the hand holding the fish soup shake even more violently.

Palu, who had been reproached, also looked towards the Ice Witch, quietly waiting for an answer.

He could not see through her Spirit Power Field at all.

Fen and the little crow were also full of curiosity.

No matter what, they had to persist for fifteen days.

She might not be able to… Chen Qi spoke on behalf of the Ice Witch:

“The Witch needs rest. She may not be able to protect everyone…”

“No…”

Just then, the long-silent Ice Witch silently raised her head.

How could the most powerful Witch Queen admit to being unable?

Seeing this, the Ice Witch put down the fish soup, propped up her chin with her hand, and said lightly:

“If it’s just the minor monsters for fifteen days, for me…”

“It’s a piece of cake.”

Suddenly, the sailors on the deck showed looks of amazement.

Fifth Rank monsters are just minor monsters in the eyes of the Ice Witch!

Hm? Chen Qi paused for a moment, carefully observing the Ice Witch.

Only to see, after the Ice Witch spoke, she shook even more violently.

However, this slight tremor, most people believed, was caused by the cold.

But in Chen Qi’s eyes, it was nervousness.

Ice Witch, aren’t you just bluffing?

Chen Qi sipped on some fish soup and politely said:

“Witch, if there’s anything you need our help with, feel free to tell us.”

Fen chimed in as well, seeing her teacher’s physical condition also seemed to be lacking:

“Yes, teacher, if you can’t manage, some of the battles, you can ask Qi for help.”

Am I incapable? Ask that little dark-haired brat for help… The Ice Witch closed her eyes, snorting coldly.

Only to see, the Ice Witch slowly opened her bright red pupils, with a proud and indifferent smile:

“Everyone, rest assured, even if I’m gravely injured, whether it’s the Blue Beast or the legendary Lord of Condensation…”

“To me, everything below the Sixth Rank is but ants.”

The Ice Witch’s voice wasn’t loud, but her words rang like a bell in everyone’s heart!

Merely ants! The crowd couldn’t help but inhale a sharp breath of air.

In the stunned gazes of everyone, the Ice Witch put down her finished bowl of fish soup, confidently looking towards Chen Qi and Fen:

“Don’t worry, we will protect you.”

And just at that moment, the excited little crow interjected:

“Uh, Witch, what if a Fifth Rank monster were to appear right now?”

Now? The Ice Witch looked at the little crow, a hint of curiosity flashing by.

Wait, the little crow’s words… Chen Qi paused for a moment, quickly lifting his head to search for the enemy silhouette.

All he saw were a pair of dragon eyes filled with boundless ambition staring at them.

In front of the Sea Coffin, second only to the Lord of Condensation, the grand BOSS—Blizzard Dragon King!

The Blizzard Dragon King concealed itself in the vast skies, like an impending storm of blizzard, scrutinizing the crowd.

The embodiment of the blizzard catastrophe, a horrifying existence of the Fifth Rank, the apex of the food chain in the icy plains, the Dragon King who has slain countless heroes!

The Ice Witch also lifted her head, involuntarily dropping a bead of cold sweat.

She glanced at those dragon eyes and gently bit her lip.
