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

Quite fitting... Fen's gaze shifted slightly, wanting to get a glimpse of Chen Qi's back.

However, considering the presence of outsiders, the graceful woman still held back.

If the Sea God Pirate Group was unaware that Residual Fire Touch was the equipment of the Deep Sea Hunter, with the sea beast pattern on Chen Qi's back, joining the Sea God Pirate Group would be effortless, without even needing to undergo any assessment.

"Hmm... you really do suit the part,"

Jin Li looked up, examining Chen Qi's attire and the tentacles behind him.

Based solely on appearance, it would truly be a waste of talent for this person not to join the Sea God Pirate Group, to become a minor cult leader, or the captain of a pirate ship!

Chen Qi couldn't help but recall various pieces of information about the Sea God Pirate Group.

In fact, joining the Sea God Pirate Group, rising from an obscure pirate to a captain, or from a minor believer to a high priest within the group, held quite a promising future—

The Sea God Pirate Group, in reality, is a resource-rich pirate clan that backs onto the most crack-dense regions of the Crack Sea and controls a special and savage style.

But their biggest problem is madness.

Simply put, the people of the Sea God Pirate Group embrace a frenzy; from going berserk, growing strange body parts, undergoing gender transformations, reaching explosive highs, consuming poisonous mushrooms, to using potions that turn one into a cat...

In the eyes of the Sea God Pirate Group, as long as these methods lead to increased strength, nothing is considered an issue!

As a result, the Sea God Pirate Group possesses many powerful, mad, and fearless styles. After the Descent of the Smiling Moon, the Shadow fiends' rampant arrogance has even led to the Sea God Pirate Group developing a style that specifically counteracts Shadow fiends!

Disregarding the issues with their minds and deformities, and the multitude of insane pirates and sea creature conservationists who only believe in strength, the Sea God Pirate Group is indeed a pirate clan with much potential.

Upgrading and advancing in rank, acquiring equipment, are his current primary goals.

The Sea God Pirate Group's Deep Blue Fire, the savage style, the extremely brutal strength augmentation surgeries, and their lunatic practices all align with his goals.

Chen Qi's eyebrows rose slightly:

"Yes, I'll be heading to the Sea God Pirate Group next to study their techniques and try my luck at finding the legendary Witch Relics. After all, with my current strength, if I don't improve, I fear I'll be beaten to death,"

"You being beaten to death?"

Jin Li's lips curled up, her eyes reflecting skepticism.

Although it was only a clone that had sparred with Chen Qi for a few moves, Jin Li saw Chen Qi as someone with a fair amount of strength.

Chen Qi, with his arms crossed over his chest, said seriously:

"The times have changed. Without absolute strength, in the future, it's not only a possibility for me to be beaten to death; Jin Li the merchant, you might also continually be beaten to death out at sea."

Under the Crack Tide, the number of Third-tier Transcendents is increasing, and some Second-tier Transcendents that had been stagnant for a long time demonstrate terrifying killing power after advancing to Third-tier.

Furthermore, with the post-Descent version 2.0 of Witch Sea, the Shadow fiends will also display extremely terrifying dominance. Underneath this tidal wave, with Jin Li's ability to teleport randomly, every teleport could mean death.

Once invincible merchants like Jin Li, the deep sea merchant, could become extra interest chests for pirate ships due to failing to keep up with the power level of the new versions.

"I will be beaten to death? Are you sure?"

Jin Li's smile faded.

Yes, your death count could conservatively exceed the hundreds... Chen Qi mysteriously explained:

"The intuition of a Light Seer. I even sense that you might face the danger of death."

"What are you talking about?"

Jin Li's eyes flickered with unshakable confidence. In her view, with her ability to exchange money for lives, even if a Legend made a move, she would not die.

You're right! Fen chimed in:

"According to my dreams, in the coming days, even Legends will lack the power to survive safely. Improving strength is of utmost importance.

Ms. Jin Li, as a traveling merchant, please be extremely careful."

Why does it feel like the Flower Witch is quite partial to the Black Hunter... Jin Li cast a doubtful glance.

Being the successor of the Ice Witch, shouldn't she hate sea monsters to the core and maintain the highest vigilance against such grotesquely shaped beings?

Chen Qi asked:

"How about it, Fen, will you come with me?"

The Flower Witch closed her eyes, hesitating.

Chen Qi was different from her; his appearance had never been exposed in front of others, allowing him to switch identities at any time.

Though the Sea God Pirate Group had many fine things, her primary goal was to settle some old and new grudges and to concoct a Sage-level Potion, to digest the Fourth Rank Occupation Card, which was her current top priority.

After a while, the Flower Witch spoke softly:

"I can't follow you. As I am now, entering the Sea God Pirate Group, I would only be a burden..."

The Flower Witch wasn't a burden, but the resources needed for their respective advancement paths were vastly different.

If they were to act together, it would inevitably slow down the other's progression.

Right now, Chen Qi didn't urgently need the Flower Witch's services, but if he managed to acquire a substantial amount of medicinal materials in the Sea God Pirate Group, he would undoubtedly need her help.

Inside the Sea God Group, there were many materials that could enhance oneself.

For now, it was about time for them to part ways.

Chen Qi looked deeply at the Flower Witch and smiled:

"I understand." Continue your journey on empire

Then, Fen spoke earnestly:

"Right, the upcoming waters are very dangerous; we must have a way to contact one another."
