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

"There's a murderous aura..."

Asilina lowered her head and looked at Fen, hesitating with her raised palm.

Chills down her back!

Should she hit, or not?

Asilina thought about it seriously for three seconds.

Who is Asilina anyway?

The ruler of the White Tower Sea for hundreds of years!

If she had to tolerate even the small offenses of a witch, what kind of Saint was she?

As a Saint, the most important thing was to have presence!

After all, the Ice Witch is gone... Asilina glanced around, confirming the murderous aura was gone, and then delivered one fierce slap.

Take my slap!

Smack!

A fleeting shadow passed by.

"?"

Fen looked up in surprise.

Asilina was swept by a whip too fast for the naked eye to catch, spinning in the air like a high-speed rotating top...

"Ahhhhhhh——"

Asilina spun endlessly in the air.

"What happened?"

Fen's eyes widened.

Due to her teacher's busy affairs, she's always been by Asilina's side.

Asilina constantly advocated running away.

These days, she was frequently bullied by Asilina.

Who could use Asilina as a spinning top? A question mark appeared above Fen's head.

Long time no see, Fen... Chen Qi landed on the boat, ready to cover Fen's eyes for a surprise.

However, suddenly, Fen turned around, spreading her arms to hug him:

"Qi! I smelled you!"

"I knew it, you're still alive!"

Fen said, her eyes a little wet.

Chen Qi really was alive!

Her intuition told her Chen Qi was still alive!

Fen wiped away the tears from her eyes, and said:

"Qi, I have so many things to tell you..."

"We encountered so many monsters..."

"Whale Father is preparing a ritual——"

"And, the teacher, she, she..."

Fen opened her hands, and a small panicked orange flower sprouted above her head.

So many things happened in these ten days.

Seeing Chen Qi, she had so many things she wanted to say.

So much so, Fen didn't know where to start and turned into a little stutterer.

Finally, she could only say with a flushed face:

"Qi, I missed you——"

"I know."

This was too exciting... Chen Qi patted Fen's little head.

After speaking, Fen tiptoed, preparing to hug Chen Qi again and feel his warmth.

Smack!

The next moment, Asilina, spiraling in the air, fell from high above, landing between the two.

Dazed and aching all over, Asilina raised her head, looking at Chen Qi, with fear and joy in her eyes.

Of course, the most prevalent was surprise!

Ten days, did he clear the Forbidden Rift? Asilina said:

"Little black hair, you, you're still alive, Blood Hunter——"

"This Saint knew you could return, return..."

Smack!

Chen Qi kicked the enduring Asilina into the sea.

"Outside, it's dangerous. We'll talk when we get back to the base."

Chen Qi looked at the writhing shadow on the sea and the distant cries, manipulating the wind and sea, sailing toward the islands of Mist Sea.

...

...

Inside the underground workshop.

Led by Asilina, the material search team tiredly walked into the central part of the underground workshop.

Asilina's exploration team, consisting of elite White Tower Hunters, was the largest exploration team apart from Palu's fleet.

Their return brought a glimmer of hope to this desperate underground workshop.

Bruised and swollen, Asilina dumped everything they had collected onto the table.

Among them were rare delicacies like sausages, greens, cakes.

Many people couldn't help but drool.

You must know, these days, the Hammer Phase Transcendents of the workshop had to eat decaying tree roots.

Of course, the amount of food wasn't much, only a small backpack, barely enough to fill fifty people.

There were a hundred Extraordinary Craftsmen in the underground workshop alone.

The more essential, was the alloy needed to manufacture Noah's Spear.

Ramon and Haye immediately paid respects upon seeing Asilina.

Though equally Fifth Rank, Asilina's status was above that of the two.

Ramon, the chief engineer of Steam Hand, urgently said:

"The situation is dire now, Miss Asilina, we need your intel."

Asilina remained silent, just glanced at Chen Qi.

Hmm? Haye was stunned.

Could it be that the Black Hunter is actually their leader?

Chen Qi said:

"Asilina, go ahead."

Qi has returned; I need to be steady, or I'll be thrown into the sea and fed to fish again... Asilina wiped her nosebleed and seriously said:

"In this exploration, we collected some food.

Besides that, we also gathered raw materials for alloys, a Hammer Phase unique item from a rift!"

Veterans Haye and Ramon inventoried the alloy materials.

Asilina and Fen were very lucky; they encountered an A Rank Hammer Phase Rift steam furnace, where they obtained a large amount of high-grade alloy.

Ramon seriously said:

"It's not enough, not enough. These materials are insufficient to even create the spearhead of Noah's Spear..."

"Even this large piece isn't enough!"

Asilina spread her hands, questioning.

Ramon shook his head and said:

"Miss Asilina, if it were a normal disaster, these would be enough.

But the foe we're facing is the God of the Edge Great Whale; any flaw in Noah's Spear could cause all our efforts to go to waste…

And you and I will perish on this sea."

Asilina defiantly taunted:

"Facing the God of the Edge! Shell Country, is this all you can do!

Shell Country, you're truly incompetent!"

"Inside Shell Country, Forbidden Rifts have appeared, the workshop's machinery is going haywire, and a massive surge of lightning is rampant..."
