The originally clear sky was like shattered ss, constantly falling from the sky, piece by piece.


    The surrounding sea area continuously churned up huge whirlpools, and enormous mountain ranges began to show cracks as well!


    Sea Lamp Ind was about to descend into the waters of the Witch Sea.


    Meanwhile, the Dream Beast soared in the sky like a dragon, high above.


    The two of them stood on the mountainside, looking up at the sky and towards the sea.


    "Is the final oue the copse..."


    At this moment, Chen Qi seemed to hear a faint smile from the Ice Witch in his ear.


    "Heh—"


    How much auto-recovery had the Ice Witch left in this rift?


    Chen Qi sighed with relief and slowly walked to the body of the white-cloaked figure.


    Only a fallenntern remained in this ce.


    He slowly picked up thentern.


    [Day Lantern:


    Nature Form: Lantern


    Description: Antern made with fire fallen from the sky, capable of dispersing arge number of filthy monsters.


    Effect: Consumes arge amount of Spiritual Power to form a brief light sourcesting one minute. This light can disperse most monsters, especially Shadow Phase monsters.]


    A pretty good divine artifact... Chen Qi mused.


    Whether facing the Abyss Pir or the Dream Beast, this item could have a brief dispersal effect.


    In this dangerous world, it could be called a divine artifact among divine artifacts.


    "A good thing."


    Chen Qi smiled happily and epted the item.


    This dangerous journey had been worth it to gain a life-saving item.


    "Qi, what do we do next..."


    Little Crow stood in the distance, her bloodstained hair fluttering in the wind.


    She was disheveled. Whether facing the white cloak or the Dream Beast, it all felt extremely unreal.


    Logically speaking, the weak ones like them should have perished.


    There was a miraculous feeling of dying anding back to life.


    And the core reason behind all thisy in Chen Qi''s special constitution.


    Clearly, she should have been themander, clearly, she was the more powerful one, but at this moment, she had no choice but to seek Chen Qi''s opinion.


    Let me calm down as well. These things have been quite a shock to me. That was a gigantic beast... Chen Qi asked wearily:


    "Little Crow, haven''t you experienced a rift copse before?"


    "Have you experienced it?"


    Little Crow asked back curiously.


    Rift copses were rare events. Had Chen Qi experienced other rift copses?


    Not too many... Chen Qi smiled slightly:


    "No, I''m just a sailing rookie, but I''ve read in books that the current situation is a gentle copse.


    The rift and the real world will merge together slowly. Once the riftpletely ends, we''ll have a rift settlement.


    After the settlement, we will be able to leave this ce. Don''t worry, looking at the current situation, even if the rift copses, we will be fine."


    "Rift settlement?"


    Little Crow tilted her head in confusion, her ck hair standing on end.


    She thought that after the rift ended, there would be no rift settlement and no rewards.


    Chen Qi smiled and said:


    "Yes, a rift settlement. So, do you have any tasks left toplete in the rift? We can help each other now andplete some tasks together."


    Chen Qi remembered he had one task left, a design blueprint for a seantern.


    After all, he hadn''t killed many monsters or caused much trouble in the rift.


    If he didn''t find the seantern blueprint soon, his evaluation might be very low.


    After all, this was his first time entering a C-tier rift, and Chen Qi wanted to get the highest rating possible.


    This was his first time!


    "Completing... a task... now?"


    Little Crow looked at the Dream Beast high in the sky. Was this really the time to discuss this?


    Did the two of them not need to show some respect to the Dream Beast?


    "Yes, don''t worry, we''ll be fine."


    Chen Qi rallied his Deep Sea Water Elf troops, sending them to all corners of the ind to search for the seantern blueprint.


    "Waku waku (Master! Understood!)"


    No. 1 transformed into a Water Elf pancake, and at this moment, the usually silent and gentle No. 3 was forced to be the leader of the Water Elf troops.


    And the two of them walked slowly towards the beach, against the sea breeze.


    At this moment, there were no monster sieges, no hostility from others, only the faint sea breeze and the warm sunlight.


    The two strolled on this peaceful ind.


    "A narrow escape..."


    Chen Qi patted his chest and enjoyed the serene sea breeze.


    The events of today might be considered a random encounter in a game.


    In the Witch Sea, strange things happened every day. Encountering such a skirmish was not unusual.


    Not every well-known character died a heroic death; on the contrary, in the Witch Sea, most of them died from idents.


    Many once famous individuals disappeared into the sea due to a small ident, with even their manner of death unknown.


    Little Crow limped along cautiously behind Chen Qi, asking again:


    "Qi? Are you a secret follower of the Sea God Pirate Group?"


    Trying to ask about my secret, huh. But you haven''t confessed that you''re an undercover agent either... Chen Qi thought for a moment:


    "No, maybe it''s because of my Sea Beast illness and the Deep Sea Hunter''s treasure I obtained. It sessfully stabilized my condition, so today''s events were a bit unexpected for me as well.


    But we were lucky enough to survive, weren''t we?"


    Sea Beasts were unpredictable creatures. In the Sea God Pirate Group, some could even live with them, driving Nearshore Dominators and even stronger Sea Beasts.


    Such situations were rare, but they existed.


    A perfunctory but not bad exnation... Chen Qi was very pleased. Living at sea inevitably exposed your secrets.


    "Deep Sea Hunter''s treasure... I think I understand why the ck-eyed Captain wanted to find you so badly..."


    Little Crow pouted. She really wanted to pry open Chen Qi''s enigmatic mouth.


    Unconsciously, the two had already reached the beach.


    Little Crow took off her damaged shoes and gently stepped onto the beach, spreading her arms to enjoy the quiet sea breeze.


    "Hoo..."


    In that instant, she thought of her unexpected promotion, her unfortunate family, the series of shitty things she had recently encountered, and her future life.


    She really, really wanted to scream!


    Even with Chen Qi beside her, she couldn''t hold it in and wanted to scream!


    Or perhaps, precisely because Chen Qi was beside her, she wanted to scream even more.


    "This damned world, that damned white cloak, that damned olddy, that damned ck Whale Group!"


    She took a deep breath and screamed at the sea, venting her frustrations:


    "Aah————"


    Little Crow screamed loudly, as if she had vented all her troubles to the sea.


    It felt so good! Little Crow rxed entirely, looking over to see Chen Qi staring at her like she was a fool.


    "..."


    "..."


    Of course!


    Her face turned red, and she sat on the beach, burying her head in her knees, wishing she could dig a hole and disappear:


    "I''m sorry, I don''t usually act like this. I''m quite normal in private..."


    What''s normal about you? Although, a little groundhog version of Little Crow, it was clear she was really stressed... Chen Qi walked to the shore and tossed Water Elf No. 1 pancake into the sea:


    "It''s nothing. Sometimes releasing your emotions is very important."


    "..."


    Little Crow peeked out and tiredly looked at the sky:


    "Qi, after the rift ends, will the Dream Beast fly to Moonstone City and be a catastrophe?"


    "???"


    From Little Crow''s lowered head, Chen Qi saw a hint of remorse.


    Little Crow lowered her head, tightly biting her bloody finger. Although she was not the summoner of the Sea Beast, as a pirate, she was the one who had extracted the ck Whale Blood for the ck Whale Group.


    This Sea Beast, capable of destroying Moonstone City, was, in some sense, summoned by her.


    In some sense, she had also helped the ck Whale Group kill the people of Moonstone City.


    She whispered:


    "Qi, if the Bei Country Meteorological Bureau knows I summoned a catastrophic beast, I might be a more infamous pirate than the ck Hunter! An even worse existence!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    "Impossible, absolutely impossible."


    Chen Qi answered confidently.


    Comforting me, huh... Little Crow kept her head lowered:


    "Why? Summoning a catastrophic beast is a crime far more severe than the ck Hunter''s love for sowing human seeds."


    At this moment, Little Crow felt that she was very, very bad, worse than the entire ck Whale Group.


    Just thinking about bing a more infamous Doctor Crow than the ck Hunter, about the scolding and cursing from others, made her feel suffocated. Enjoy more content from empire


    Because the ck Hunter was only getting stronger. As a Second Order Transcendent, was I too confident... Chen Qi thought for a moment and softly said:


    "Because a soon-to-be-dead Dream Beast can''t make you an infamous pirate surpassing the ck Hunter."


    "Soon-to-be-dead..."


    Little Crow lifted her head, looking at the gigantic Titan in the sky.


    Chen Qiy on the beach, looking at the high Dream Beast in the sky, and silently asked:


    "Little Crow, have you seen fireworks?"


    "???"
