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

The torrential rain gradually lessened, and the scent of flower petals was gradually washed away by the rain.

Chen Qi cradled the Flower Witch's legs with his hands and, carrying her on his back, boarded the Dagger, belonging to the Blood Blade Pirate Group.

The crew shouted.

"We're saved."

"Don't forget to bring the research materials from that abandoned naval base!"

The Dagger's crew members moved the valuable items and documents aboard, scrambling hurriedly onto the main ship of the Blood Blade Pirate Group.

"My crew! Where is the Gunfire Queen?"

On the deck, a tall man lifted his axe, his robust voice booming across the sea.

Chen Qi's gaze was involuntarily drawn to him.

The man's beard and hair were very thick, he wore simple but heavy armor, his face was scored with scars, his figure tall and straight, his shoulders broad, the whole person resembling a solid mountain.

Veteran Gail, the Hammer of the Blood Blade Pirate Group, a Fourth Rank Blade Floral Appearance legend and a famously forgetful drunk, was one of the founders of the Blood Blade Pirate Group and a legendary mentor.

Chen Qi remembered that this was a rather popular NPC.

In his hands were not only multiple Blade Phase Skill Cards, but also some extremely powerful unique martial arts, like Overbearing Fist, Iron Head, Earth Axe, Drunken Fist, Earth Shield...

He was the combat instructor for the officers of the Blood Blade Pirate Group. Every player who joined the Blood Blade Pirate Group and was promoted to officer had to be assessed by Gail.

In player forums, if one wanted to master Fourth Rank Blade Release, Veteran Gail was one of the top mentors to go to.

However, Veteran Gail had an extraordinarily poor memory and disliked participating in any combat strategy meetings.

Veteran Gail was a martial artist devoted to his craft, preferring drinking and engaging in thrilling physical combat in the battlefield over discussing strategy in meetings.

As a legend, he was undoubtedly one of the top combat forces in the Blood Blade Pirate Group and a reliable rock.

When the crew saw Veteran Gail, a heavy stone in their hearts finally fell to rest.

Seeing that no one responded, Veteran Gail cleared his throat and spoke again:

"Tell this old man, where is that damned Gunfire Queen, Madam Carol!?

As long as I am here, I won't let her harm you!"

Veteran Gail's voice was profoundly resonant, warming the hearts of all who heard it like a warm current.

A crew member silently extended a finger, pointing towards a spot on the sea where bubbles were emerging:

"Just now, under the spell of the Flower Witch, the Black Hunter threw her into the sea. She hasn't come up yet; seems like she's drowning."

"???"

Even the battle-hardened Veteran Gail couldn't help but pause for a moment.

Madam Carol was blown away? The pirate queen drowning? It was almost as strange as if the Black Ship Sea Dragon choked on water.

Chen Qi explained:

"Mr. Gail, perhaps beneath these seas, there are strange things entwining Madam Carol." Your journey continues at empire

Strange things, what strange things could hold down that old woman... Gail, holding his long-handled axe, looked towards the sea area in question.

There, in the murky waters, more and more bubbles continued to emerge.

Bang!

A mechanical arm suddenly burst from the surface of the water, heavily entwined with numerous tentacles.

"Carol's arm, those shadows below the sea, beneath the seabed, to think there are so many monsters, even below the tide. Even my experience is not enough..."

Accompanied by breaths as steady as mountains, Veteran Gail's muscles tensed, he gripped his long-handled axe, and took a fierce step forward, his feet digging into the metal deck!

Then, he violently threw his long-handled axe at the arm!

The deck seemed unable to withstand the force, violently trembling!

Accompanied by a smooth parabolic arc, a massive wave burst from afar!

Following that, painful screams echoed!

Chen Qi slowly turned around, looking towards that area of the sea.

Huge amounts of blue flames burst from the sea, two charcoal-grey arms, and countless black tentacles firmly grasping Carol's neck and thighs, relentlessly dragging her deeper into the sea!

Veteran Gail's pupils contracted, he said solemnly:

"The Blue Beast..."

"Without the items from the Deep Sea Hunter, and the Deep Sea Fire, I can't calm this creature down.

However, it has been too long since I last contended with a monster of the sea."

Veteran Gail clenched his fist, feeling itchy, and stepped forward.

In legends, although the Blue Beast is human, it is as terrifying as a wild beast.

Lady of Blood sighed deeply:

"Gail, we need to leave as soon as possible. Even if we defeat the Blue Beast and Carol, our ships will be severely damaged, and in the end, we'll just become fodder for other forces."

Currently, because of the Land of Trial, adventurous forces were not limited to the Black Whale Group.

Not long ago, they had encountered ships from the Ice Demon Pirate Group and the Bonfire Energy Company.

As she spoke, the Lady of Blood frowned, her eyes full of sighs, looking at Chen Qi:

"Not only the Black Whale Group is eyeing the Flower Witch and the Black Hunter's ships. We must leave quickly."

Veteran Gail looked up and shouted:

"Return to course!!"

Then, the Lady of Blood wiped the rainwater from the corner of her eyes and said to Chen Qi:

"Thank you, everyone. I apologize deeply, the flames of war have already been ignited, and we could not arrive in time."

Suddenly, blood dripped down Chen Qi's black hair, trickling down his neck.

It was the Flower Witch's blood. Chen Qi turned his head, looking at the Flower Witch resting on his shoulder.
