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

Chapter 141: Chapter 120 I Have a Bold Idea

The ship's lantern swayed gently.

The Flower Witch gripped her magic wand tightly, lowering her head to scrutinize the clothes on Chen Qi, suspecting she was experiencing an illusion.

These clothes are so strange...

Because of the Residual Fire Touch and the makeshift mask made from bandages, she didn't recognize Chen Qi at first glance.

Furthermore, having just been through a battle, her initial thought was that Chen Qi had died.

He has such strong close-combat abilities... Chen Qi stood up, holstered his weapon, and, surprisingly, he, who specialized in close combat, was easily taken down by the Flower Witch, who specialized in magic.

If it hadn't been for the gun he took out in advance and hid in his hand, he would have had no chance to resist.

If he wasn't facing the Flower Witch, that spiral magic bullet just now could have created an opportunity to counterattack... Chen Qi thought to himself.

"I'm very sorry, my nerves were a bit tense after coming out of the crack..."

The Flower Witch, drenched in blood, sprouted a curious little yellow flower on her head and asked again:

"Where did you get these clothes from?"

Being well-informed, she could tell straight away that this was no ordinary piece of equipment.

A forbidden creation with side effects!

Chen Qi thought for a moment:

"Hmm, got it by chance when passing through a crack..."

The Flower Witch pouted, looking skeptically at Chen Qi:

"By chance, are you sure it wasn't given to you by your organization, the newspaper?"

I've said it before, I'm not with the newspaper, why won't you believe it... Chen Qi sighed.

In the eyes of the Flower Witch, an ordinary Transcendent couldn't possibly possess such powerful equipment unless they were given special training by an organization.

Even her own family would be prudent about giving equipment of this level to their children.

It's the scent of a lie... The Flower Witch sat wearily on the boat, pulling out bandages to wrap her injured right hand.

Her usually smooth long hair was extremely disheveled, with strands stained with blood that were especially jarring to the eye.

On her left arm, a deep wound visible to the bone extended from her shoulder to her elbow, the blood congealed into a dark color, contrasting sharply with her pale skin.

"Fen, what happened?"

Chen Qi asked with concern.

The Flower Witch was covered in scars, clearly having endured a fierce battle.

Her voice was hoarse and low:

"Injuries sustained inside the crack, and besides, when exiting the crack, I encountered a Third-tier Transcendent from the Black Whale Group and was attacked by them...

However, I made an error in my perception and failed to detect the people beneath the water.

Although I severely injured them, the Floral Appearance Wand I worked hard to obtain from the crack was stolen from me."

Chen Qi said:

"Stolen, that's terrible..."

The difficulty of a C-tier crack is such that even Third-tier Transcendents struggle to come out unscathed.

Securing a magic wand relic from a C-tier crack is an extremely difficult feat.

"It's not too terrible, I haven't fought with a strong opponent for a long time. Even though I lost a wand, it has revealed the weakness of my poor close combat ability.

This lesson is more valuable than a wand."

The Flower Witch forced a smile.

She did not want to infect Chen Qi with her sadness.

It was her decision to enter Sea Demon Gorge, her doing that dragged Chen Qi into the perilous Sea Demon Gorge.

However, prior to entering Sea Demon Gorge, she hadn't collected enough intelligence.

Deep within Sea Demon Gorge, there lurked far more pirates than she had anticipated.

She even saw two steel behemoths, like deep-sea sharks.

The Flower Witch took out a cloth, stuffed it in her mouth, then pulled out a syringe, plunging it into an artery!

A potent Healing Potion causes excruciating pain akin to flesh being torn when used!

After administering the Potion, the Flower Witch gradually relaxed her furrowed brow as her injuries steadily healed:

"That's right, Qi, well done. Luckily you distanced yourself from the Floral Appearance crack ahead of time, otherwise..."

The Flower Witch wanted to comfort Chen Qi.

Indeed, as she had feared, something bad had happened.

For Chen Qi, this region of the sea was still too dangerous.

If Chen Qi hadn't wisely left this place earlier, he would have been the one attacked by the Black Whale Group pirates.

And by the time she emerged, all she would have found was a mangled corpse.

By then, the only thing she could do was to arrange a funeral for Chen Qi.

"..."

Chen Qi fell silent for a moment.

He wasn't actually keeping watch here. A minute after the Flower Witch entered the crack, he had run off to see the sea demons.

However, the attack on the Flower Witch was indeed beyond his expectations.

The Flower Witch looked like a withered little flower:

"Qi, my identity might have been exposed. Someone might come after me.

So, you must take advantage of the night and leave this place as quickly as possible."

The Flower Witch thought she might be the cause of Chen Qi's death.

If Chen Qi ran alone and contacted the navy, he might have a chance of survival.

"Leave here alone?"

Chen Qi asked.

He still wanted the Flower Witch to join his plot.

"Miss Fen, what are you planning to do all by yourself?"

Clutching her injured left arm, the Flower Witch fell silent for a long time before squeezing out the words:

"Don't worry, I am a Witch, there won't be any trouble.

Not only that, I'll be sure to give those damn Black Whale Group a piece of my mind, to let them know that, even without my teacher's protection, a Witch is not to be trifid with!"

"You may not know, but I've mastered the Flower Dissolving Skill. Even when facing several Third-order Transcendents at once, I will still have the power to fight."

I know that... Chen Qi thought to himself.

Like a black glove, a Third-tier Transcendent like the Flower Witch who controlled release skills was rare indeed.

Especially the Flower Witch's release skill "Flowers Blossoming in Blood" was famously known as a god-tier technique, splitting fifty-fifty in the Witch Sea sector.

In the moonlight's glow, the Flower Witch leaned against the cabin door:

"Just prepare a feast for me in Moonstone City and wait. Although I'm being targeted, I'll manage to return home safely."

The Flower Witch smiled confidently and clenched her fist as if everything was under control.

Pity, the sorrowful little blue flower on her head had already betrayed her.

Looking at the current situation, things didn't seem good at all.

As the protagonist of the Witch Sea, the bounty the Black Whale Group and the navy had on the Flower Witch wasn't just simple hatred.

The Flower Witch was hiding secrets he didn't know about.

Chen Qi concluded:

"In short, Flower Witch, you're planning to seek revenge alone and then find a way to escape from Sea Demon Gorge."

"Yes, although I seem to be badly wounded, such injuries are trivial to a Pharmacist.

I'll use the chaos of battle to give them a taste of their own medicine."

Chen Qi pondered to himself.

When it came to giving the Black Whale Group a piece of their mind, they were on the same page.

Chen Qi placed his hand on the Flower Witch's shoulder:

"Fen, actually, I have a bold idea."

A bold idea?

The Flower Witch was taken aback. She was still struggling with how to persuade Chen Qi to escape Sea Demon Gorge alone, searching for the right words for an elegant farewell.

"Fen, you should know that the sea demon's den is the closest route to Sea Demon Gorge."

"Yes, that's right..."

"Then, would you be interested in joining me there to rob the Devilfish? I've heard that ship is loaded with relics, including the legendary item—Meat Cutting Bone Breaking."

Chen Qi stated calmly as if he were a pirate who had wandered the seas for many years.

Just another ordinary day collecting a toll.

"???"

The Flower Witch's brain short-circuited in an instant as she glanced at Chen Qi's tattered little boat.

She also felt Chen Qi's spiritual power field.

After reconsidering for a moment.

This isn't right, is it?

Shouldn't this be the moment where I, the one being pursued, entrust you with my dying wishes and we part ways amid a dramatic escape?

The two of us, robbing a Black Whale Group pirate ship?

Is that even possible?
