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

At that moment, under the assault of the black mud and the local sea tyrant, the once newly-refurbished Black Rabbit had turned into a wreck.

Under the torrential rain, ten gang members huddled together.

"Say it again, one more step closer, and we'll let you taste the navy's wrath!"

"The navy's... wrath?"

Chen Qi gripped his dark blade, for a moment doubting his own identity.

Aren't you the pirates? Why threaten me with the navy's name?

It seemed, somehow, he should have been the one saying that.

In some sense, he was combating the evil forces at sea, contributing to maritime peace.

If left unchecked, the Black Rabbit gang might carry on their gang's traditional arts, instigating a more severe slave trading at sea and becoming a maritime mafia.

And as a victim, while being tracked, he contacted the enthusiastic sea civilians, the local sea tyrant and black mud, to extinguish their criminally lit fires at their inception.

It was a significant achievement on this vast ocean!

If the navy knew, they should grant him a bonus and present him with a white cape emblazoned with the word "justice".

However, he must prevent the opposition from transmitting this location's information to the mainland.

Pirates having contact methods with the navy... Chen Qi flicked the blood off his dark blade and took a calm step forward.

"You damned monster!"

The Black Rabbit gang members suddenly pulled the trigger, and bullets from the machine gun poured down like heavy rain.

Da-da-da-da-da-da!

Ordinary bullets, and the firing was too obvious, better keep practicing... Chen Qi dodged sideways, stepped forward against the storm, and horizontally slashed a gun-wielding gang member at the waist.

However, at that moment, something beyond his expectations occurred.

The device, surrounded by gang members and resembling a harvested radio, suddenly began to distort.

"Ga-ga-ga!"

The radio-like object twisted continuously, making squeaky noises, then suddenly, a slender tentacle extended outwards.

A long tentacle suddenly opened an eye stained with blood, scanning the surroundings constantly.

A transcendent relic!

The opponents even had this thing... Chen Qi instantly performed a flash-step to the blind spot of the eye.

He couldn't allow his features to be exposed under that eye.

This device, called 'Eye of Long Voyage,' is a high-end communication tool commonly used on ships.

On the high seas, affluent merchant ships, in order to track pirates that attack them, would spend substantial amounts of money to acquire these special communication tools.

'Eye of Long Voyage' is worth 500,000 Shell Coins and can transmit the images it sees, along with vague coordinates, to the corresponding item on land.

In such cases, even if attacked by unknown pirates, the people on land at least have some clues.

Simply put, it's a video transmission tool.

What a troublesome thing... Chen Qi dodged around, for although he was doing a good deed now, it was still better not to become too famous.

The blood-red eye kept spinning, sweeping over the tragic state of the Black Rabbit:

The torrential rain continuously battered it, the local sea tyrant stared with its bell-sized eyes, slightly opening its giant mouth, curiously watching the Eye of Long Voyage.

Numerous bodies lay in pools of blood.

The ship was trembling on the verge of capsizing, with a substantial amount of black mud continuously eroding everything on the ship.

If not witnessed firsthand, these gang members who originally planned to make a big score would never have imagined the Black Rabbit turning into such a tragic state.

Such scenes, even fishermen with over a decade of sailing experience, might not encounter.

A gang member silently squatted down, speaking to the radio-like 'Eye of Long Voyage':

"People from afar, my brother, although unbelievable, what we are facing now... is not human."

"My name is Ben, just a regular tailor shop staff member, today my first time at sea, I encountered a sea monster..."

Lost in confusion!

Chen Qi activated the 'Hunter's Clothes' skill, forming a faint mist around his body, then charged towards the opposition.

Accompanied by the Qi Power concentrated in his hands, his dark blade, tinged with ghostly flames, drew a luminous slash through the grim heavy rain.

Horizontal Slash!

This slash cut through the heavy rain, cleaving the radio-like 'Eye of Long Voyage' and nearby gang members in two.

Following that, a vast amount of black mud responded to his slash, sweeping past Chen Qi's feet like a dark tide, engulfing all the gang members in front of him.

"Huh—"
Your next read awaits at m v|l-e'm,p| y r

Chen Qi adjusted his breathing and finally looked towards the person in the corner of the stern.

Under the erosion of the black mud, at this moment, of the fifty members aboard the Black Rabbit, only two gang members praying to the Sea Goddess remained.

Praying was useless.

The battle had already ended... He walked up to the two of them and crouched down.

Facing the Black Rabbit gang, he still had some questions.

After using some minor tricks, Chen Qi extracted some intelligence from the two.

Bang! In the torrential rain, with the fall of the last two people, the farce came to an end.

"Is that so..."

Chen Qi, covered in blood, stood up, and after dealing with the last two, went to the bow and sat down.

"Whew..."

Chen Qi took a long breath.

This rightful self-defense had finally ended.

The last few people, the way they looked at him, was as if they were seeing a monster that had broken out of a Disaster Relief Shelter.

It made him seem quite frightful... Chen Qi removed some of the black, sticky mud from his body and looked towards the dim sky.

"There should be no enemies left."

Just now, he had asked about two things.

One was about the Black Whale Group's Sawshark, and the other was about the 'Eye of Long Voyage'.

The pirate from the Black Whale Group responsible for contacting the Black Rabbit gang was not from the Sawshark.

As Chen Qi knew, the Black-eyed Captain had sought out the Black Rabbit gang and had asked them for information about him.

But the Black-eyed Captain, for his own greed, concealed a lot of information about him.

It could even be said that the Black-eyed Captain did not want to blow this matter up and swallowed it down.

He did not want others to find him first.

Moreover, the Black Rabbit gang never cared about the origins of slaves.

This matter did not stir up giant waves within the Black Rabbit gang.

Indeed, if it were not for Chen Qi's deliberate questioning, they would never have connected the two matters.

Chen Qi picked up a deep-sea Water Elf.

Deep-sea Water Elf, your stress-relieving toy!

Chen Qi looked towards the distant sea.

The Sawshark, at this moment, should still be tirelessly tracking him across the vast ocean.

This was good news.

As long as the Black-eyed Captain could conceal this matter, then the threat of the Black Whale Group to him would be much less.

What really worried him was the Eye of Long Voyage that had just sent information to the land.

According to the intelligence he had gathered.

The Black Rabbit's Eye of Long Voyage could not record sound, it could only send video clips.

This video of the Black Rabbit being attacked by a Sea Beast would be sent to the headquarters of the Black Rabbit gang in Moonstone City.

With fifty members wiped out, the Black Rabbit gang members were only existent in name now.

The remaining members being eaten by other gangs was only a matter of time.

But if the scene just now were seen by the Black Rabbit gang and then shared with others, it would cause quite a bit of trouble... Chen Qi's gaze turned icy as he looked at the shattered Eye of Long Voyage on the ground.

Fortunately, he had dodged in time, and he had constantly worn the Hunter's Clothes and used a skill that clad him in a layer of mist obscuring his figure.

To identify him based on this information would be an extremely difficult task.

Robbery, no, maintaining peace in the great sea, indeed had its risks... Chen Qi shook his head and looked towards the grey sea ahead.

This was a Transcendent world; if there were any Light Phase Transcendent skilled in tracking, there was still a slight chance they might find his trace.

But in Shell Country, the Light Phase organizations were few and far between, finding him through a video was even more difficult.

At the moment, the black mud was continuously devouring the corpses.

If this continued, many valuable things would be destroyed by the black mud.

Chen Qi turned back, removed some of the black mud from his body and excitedly rolled up his sleeves:

"Let's loot first!"
