    Kuang Sha spread his arms wide, and under the influence of the ck Whale Blood, revealed an unprecedented oppressive aura.


    The little crow clenched her fists:


    "Don''t be too arrogant, Kuang Sha. Your actions might awaken the sea demon."


    Kuang Sha grinned and said:


    "Little girl, I was called Little Kuang Sha when I was young, and now I''m Kuang Sha. How can I not be reckless?"


    Kuang Sha gripped the trident, in these waters, he could rob whoever he wanted, hit whoever he wanted.


    "..."


    The little crow shook her head, somewhat nostalgic for the days aboard the Sawshark.


    Although her jerk of a ck-eyed Captain often owed money,pared to the bloodthirsty nature of Kuang Sha, he was practically the paragon of gentleness and moral standards.


    If it weren''t for her status as an officer, this man wouldn''t listen to a word she said.


    However, a Kuang Sha possessing the ck Whale Blood emitted an aura powerful enough to deter the armored sharks.


    The ck Whale Blood was merely the icing on the cake.


    The key was his incredibly precious siren ne, allowing him to resist the siren''s song.


    As a Sea Beast tamer, the little crow looked at the siren ne around Kuang Sha''s neck.


    Only those with an extraordinary singing talent can gain the recognition of the sirens.


    It was with the help of the siren ne that Kuang Sha had risen from an ordinary fisherman to be a well-known pirate of the Sea Demon Gorge, before being defeated by the matriarch of the ck Whale Group and bing a member of the group.


    Unfortunately, the voices that could gain the sirens'' recognition were few and far between.


    The little crow sighed:


    "All right, stay away from the sirens. I''ve heard that today, someone near the Sea Demon Gorge heard the rare Song of Death. Maybe among the sirens, another genius whomands the music of death has been born."


    The little crow adjusted her mask:


    "The potion that masks our human scent is also about to wear off."


    She began to pack up, ready to leave this dangerous ce.


    However, at that moment, she witnessed a surprising scene.


    The armored shark, that Kuang Sha had just scared away, was actually charging towards the reef where the great sea snake was!


    While it''s rare for sea creatures to attack each other,


    for the armored shark, scared by Kuang Sha, to approach the great sea snake was extremely abnormal behavior.


    It was likely not approaching the great sea snake, but rather something mysterious that was attracting it.


    "Is it being lured by food?"


    The little crow lifted the kerosenemp, looking in the direction of the reef.


    The armored shark made wooing sounds as ifining to its mother.


    "Truly amazing..."


    She shook her head, unable toprehend the armored shark''s thoughts, and started the steamboat to leave the area.


    The crew of the ck Shark had set up traps here.


    After hearing that the siren had performed the Song of Death today, they did not stay long, promptly leaving the area.


    ...


    ...


    The moonlight was bright and clear.


    Chen Qi sat on the massive head of the armored shark, still shaken.


    He had never imagined that the armored shark, frightened by the presence of the ck Whale, would not run away as a first instinct, but instead approach him, seekingfort!


    Was this even reasonable? Such arge shark, actually seekingfort from him!


    Not even the near-sea overlord would do such a thing!


    Luckily, he had Dark Concealment,pletely merging his form into the darkness.


    "That was a close call."


    Chen Qi stroked the armored shark''s head to soothe it.


    Although he didn''t catch all of their conversation, Chen Qi deduced the gist from the ck Whale Blood and their actions.


    The ck Whale Group''s iron ships would be passing through this perilous Sea Demon Gorge.


    This might be an opportunity for him.


    "Hmm..."


    Chen Qi fell into thought.


    With his current individual strength, facing the pirate ship head-on was tantamount to a suicide mission.


    But if he had the siren song, he could stand a chance against the ck Whale Group''s pirate ship.


    Moreover, these pirate ships hade from the deepest high-order cracks of the Sea Demon Gorge.


    There might be unimaginable treasures aboard, as well as relics lost a century ago.


    The giant de Meat Cutting Bone Breaking, the euphoria elf capable of plunging people into a world of bliss, the blood-controlling de...


    Especially that creation known as Meat Cutting Bone Breaking.


    It was mentioned in the gaming forums as a relic, a weapon of formidable strength, and the archenemy of the Deep Sea Hunters of the past.


    Chen Qi gradually formted a daring n in his mind.


    Maybe he could join in this chaotic battle.


    After all, the sirenir was the home of his siren friends.


    It was only fair to collect a toll from those passing through.


    And he had long wanted to deal a blow to this ck Whale pirate group.


    ```


    "Hmm..."


    Chen Qi touched the Water Elf.


    Despite having the geographical advantage, the n remained extremely dangerous.


    Kuang Sha could resist the siren''s song, and having consumed the great whale blood, was very powerful.


    The fish-pecking crow would not make a move, but it was likely that there were other experts involved in this operation.


    The disparity in power between a Third-order Transcendent and a Second-order Transcendent was enormous.


    Even with the Residual Fire Touch and the buff from the siren''s song, he couldn''t bridge the gap in strength.


    Inside the mermaid''sir, he could hold his ground against an ordinary Third-order Transcendent.


    But against a Transcendent who had the solution, he waspletely out of his depth.


    Even fighting on home turf, as a newly-promoted Second-tier Transcendent, he could still die in the chaos of battle.


    "It''s too dangerous..."


    Chen Qi shook his head, sighing deeply.


    Undoubtedly, this was a tremendous opportunity, but the risk was just as great.


    Unless the Flower Witch joined his cause.


    Then, he looked at the four mermaid nes in his hand.


    The mermaid nes could resist the siren''s song and prevent the mermaids from attacking him actively.


    "Wait..."


    Chen Qi suddenly realized something.


    It was not impossible to get the Flower Witch to take action.


    With the mermaid ne, the Flower Witch could also move amidst the song.


    But if he truly wanted to seize these relics from a century ago, he would have to n carefully.


    "I should go find the Flower Witch first."


    Chen Qi estimated the time.


    With the Flower Witch''s capabilities, she might have already cleared the crack.


    However, considering the current situation, it was very likely that the Flower Witch would have encountered pirates.


    Amidst the dark night, he cautiously steered his small house boat towards the depths of Sea Demon Gorge.


    Chen Qi maintained as much caution as possible.


    After two hours of sailing, he arrived at the location of the Floral Appearance crack.


    However, on the surface of the sea, he saw clothes bloodied beyond recognition and a multitude of corpses.


    Apart from that, the massive tree of Floral Appearance was wounded all over.


    "Has there been a battle here?"


    Chen Qi took out his weapon, lit the kerosenemp, and carefully surveyed the area.


    A great amount of blood flowed over this part of the sea.


    Above the sea surface, hot gunsmoke still lingered.


    What had happened?


    The next instant, Chen Qi felt a chill on his back, a scent of blood in the air.


    Bang!


    His thigh was kicked hard, he lost his bnce, and then toppled backward.


    Then, in the next breath, a hand grabbed the back of his clothes and, using the momentum of the fall, smashed him hard onto the deck!


    Boom!


    It was fast!


    Chen Qi could only instinctively use his spear to defend.


    But still, he was mmed to the ground with great force.


    His head throbbed with pain!


    Immediately after, someone pressed down on him and pointed a Magic Wand''s tip at Chen Qi.


    Huge Spiritual Power converged at the tip of the wand, and with just a thought, it could obliterate him and the boat into dust.


    "If you don''t want to die, keep your mouth shut!"


    A flower petal fell onto Chen Qi''s face.


    Under the faint moonlight, Chen Qi saw the face of the person above him.


    It was the Flower Witch, but she looked different from before she entered the crack.


    The Flower Witch now had pale skin bleeding nonstop, covered with wounds.


    The Flower Witch was startled.


    He had actually blocked her!


    A Hunter''s spear was now aimed right at her chest.


    Just a thought, and Chen Qi could pull the trigger, sending a spiral magic bullet into her chest!


    At the same time, the tentacles from the Residual Fire Touch spread out from his clothing, entwining the Flower Witch''s arm and causing the wand''s aim to shift slightly.


    This spear, and this stature...


    A little yellow flower of puzzlement sprouted above the Flower Witch''s head, "Qi?"


    "!!"


    The bloodied Flower Witch rose from Chen Qi''s body and looked at the tentacles wrapped around her arm:


    "Your clothes, why on earth are you dressed so... strangely?"
