"Water Spirit No. 1's spiritual energy field has disappeared."
Chen Qi said.
"Waku waku (What's wrong with big brother?)"
Water Spirit No. 2 tilted its head, not yet realizing the severity of the situation.
Disappeared? Why? Fen asked in confusion:
"Kidnapped by the Black Blood Empire?"
"No."
Chen Qi shook his head:
"The existing forces of the Black Blood Empire are no match for Water Spirit No. 1."
The current Water Spirit No. 1 already possessed the strength of a fourth-tier Transcendent!
Ordinary Black Blood soldiers were simply no match for No. 1.
To make Water Spirit No. 1 vanish in an instant would require either relying on a powerful relic or possessing a special power...
Based on the current clues, the only thing that could make Water Spirit No. 1 vanish into thin air was the legendary Ember Beast!
Because the Deep Sea Power contained within Deepsea Water Spirit No. 1 was also perfect food!
No. 1 had already been eaten by the Ember Beast as a dessert!
Water Spirit No. 1 was bouncy and soft, and looked delicious just by appearance.
Chen Qi stroked his chin, involuntarily letting a drop of cold sweat fall.
Water Spirit No. 1's vitality was extrely tenacious, belonging to the undying type of deep sea spirit.
He didn't know how long it could survive inside the Ember Beast's mouth!
Currently, there was far too little information about the Ember Beast.
Chen Qi's spiritual energy continued to sweep the area:
"No trace of the Ember Beast."
"The Ember Beast?"
The Book Saint blinked her eyes.
Chen Qi turned and asked:
"Book Saint, do you know about the Ember Beast?"
Besides the Ice Witch, the Book Saint was the most knowledgeable person on this sea.
"There isn't a single sea beast on this sea that I don't know about!"
"Wait a mont, let check the encyclopedia."
"Encyclopedia?"
Chen Qi was stunned.
The Book Saint took out an incredibly thick, massive book.
Encyclopedia, a relic closely connected to the Spiral Library. Through this book, one could directly access all the contents of the Spiral Library!
The Book Saint channeled spiritual energy, opened the book, and murmured:
"Magic Book, Magic Book, search for information on the 'Ember Beast' for ."
"Okay, honored master."
The countless books of the Spiral Library floated, entering a retrieval state.
Soon, ssy, scrawled writing appeared on the blank pages!
"Got it!"
There really was information! Chen Qi couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
This ssy handwriting felt sowhat familiar.
Chen Qi moved away from the others and, together with the Book Saint and Fen, examined the specific information about the Ember Beast.
"May 11th, Ember Beast, fifth-tier sea beast, first recorded.
Preliminary assessnt: Hand difficulty.
Recorder: Deep Sea Hunter."
Deep Sea Hunter... A flicker of familiarity passed through Chen Qi's eyes.
This record was actually written by a Deep Sea Hunter.
His Deep Sea Hunter treasure map had little left to explore after finding the treasure on Blue Fire Island.
Chen Qi continued reading.
"May 12th, a re sea beast with long tentacles, one hand is enough for .
May 13th, a bit impressive, need to use the full strength of my body!
Unfortunately, it escaped.
Re-evaluating its difficulty as Body difficulty. It possesses a special 'evolution' ability, capable of growing in size, shrinking, changing form, or even becoming other sea beasts within a short ti.
Furthermore, it possesses the terrifying ability to traverse between special dinsional rifts and the open sea. It doesn't even sail on the sea.
The difficulty of capturing this sea beast, of hunting it, far exceeds imagination."
Chen Qi stroked his chin.
Currently, the information gathered by the Deep Sea Hunter aligned with theirs.
Instantly traveling back and forth between rifts and the real world was indeed an extrely troubleso ability.
"August 11th, finally found it, I've found clues to this sea beast again.
This will be a battle that echoes across the seas! I have a premonition that behind this sea beast lies a supernatural power surpassing even the Ice Witch!
Co on! It's been a long ti since I've hunted a fifth-tier calamity beast!"
It took three months to find the Ember Beast again... Chen Qi took a deep breath.
Even for a Deep Sea Hunter, searching for the Ember Beast had cost a great deal of ti.
"August 12th, re-evaluating this sea beast's difficulty as the highest, Brain difficulty!
I'm dood, need to use my brain now, my brain is trembling!
At night, I engaged in a fierce battle with this sea beast. However, at the final mont, it used a lamp domain, dragging into an unknown rift!
Inside the rift, its power surged violently, while I contracted the already-cured Withering Mutation Disease!
Its ability is far above the ordinary 'Cup Evolution.' It can not only make a person evolve but also make a person decay. This is an even more terrifying lamp ability, a lamp miracle that allows power to tamorphose."
A complex emotion flashed in Chen Qi's eyes.
The Ice Witch had ntioned that the Ember Beast was one of the few calamity beasts the Deep Sea Hunter failed to defeat.
A trace of surprise flashed in the Book Saint's eyes:
"So the Deep Sea Hunter actually sold us such important information!"
This was intelligence involving a forbidden dinsional rift, and she hadn't even noticed it!
Probably when the Tower Master reported the intelligence to , I was sleeping... The Book Saint smiled smugly, imdiately deducing the truth.
Chen Qi ignored the Book Saint with her silly grin and continued reading.
"August 13th!
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Inside the rift, beneath a fallen lighthouse! I dragged my exhausted body and fought bitterly with it for a day and a night!
This is an unprecedented opponent! Its strength even surpasses the final life of the Deep-Sea Twelve-Tentacles!
In the end, I cut off the fiercely burning fla from its heart.
This fla contains lamp power and can actually recast the foundational power of a profession card.
Interesting! Interesting!
However, at the final mont, when I was about to kill it, I hesitated.
Because of that instant of hesitation, I lost to it, was knocked out of the rift by it, and suffered irreparable internal injuries."
A complex emotion flashed in Chen Qi's eyes.
The Deep Sea Hunter had lost.
And the 'fla treasure' ntioned in the record was probably the Hunter Ember that strengthened all his professions!
But, why hesitate? Chen Qi looked at the final record.
"August 14th, I lost. In that rift, I could not defeat such a powerful sea beast.
However, I also couldn't bear to kill it. It is a clue to a special rift, a gate to a special rift!
As long as you find it, you can reach that rift again!
As long as you can enter that rift, perhaps in our sea, which suffers endless calamities and external invasions, a sixth-tier powerhouse will also be born!"
Hesitating because of the rift... Chen Qi took a deep breath.
It seed now that the Ember Beast was the gate to the forbidden dinsional rift, the entrance to the forbidden rift!
Chen Qi continued reading.
"August 15th, today, on the Black Doctor's operating table, I thought a lot, a whole lot.
Our sea is extrely barren. People only dare to live near the coast. A fisherman's inco isn't even three thousand Shell Coins, and there's a famine every five years.
And every year, there are countless sea beasts attacking.
That alchemist from afar who calls himself 'Whale Father' also, in the na of conquering worlds beyond the edge, establishes bases in the Rift Sea, builds a powerful army, and oppresses the islanders of the Rift Sea.
If there were news of a special rift, perhaps, those high and mighty rulers in the Imperial Capital would also be willing to turn their gaze to this barren land.
Unfortunately, I don't know when it will appear again.
The difficulty of tracking this sea beast far exceeds imagination. It can block most spiritual energy detection.
Friends of the Book Tower, I only have two clues. First, it likes to appear near human town lighthouses and whirlpools.
The second clue, it likes to eat food containing Deep Sea Power.
Also, as the King of the Deep Sea, it likes to ta calamity beasts possessing Deep Sea Power as its servants.
I once saw it linger on the sea for a full ten days because it was taming the Pig Demon Sharks of the sea.
This is one of the few behaviors where it will stay on the open sea for more than an hour."
Chen Qi's eyes lit up.
This was important information for finding the Ember Beast.
Besides the locations where it appeared, it also ntioned that it liked to ta sea beasts possessing Deep Sea Power.
In other words, Deepsea Water Spirit No. 1 might not have been eaten!
But taken away for training!
At this mont, Water Spirit No. 1 might be in so pitch-black rift, being whipped wildly by the Ember Beast's tentacles!
This was undoubtedly good news...
Being trained by the Ember Beast was at least better than being dead.
Moreover, Water Spirit No. 1, as his chief familiar, would never yield easily.
Chen Qi thought for a while, already having a plan in mind to find the Ember Beast through Deepsea Water Spirit No. 1.
In fact, he didn't need to search the entire sea. He just needed to arrange personnel at the lighthouses on the major islands.
Thank you, Deep Sea Hunter, for your information... Chen Qi looked at the text at the end.
"Aslina, this might be a sea beast capable of changing the seas. May you conquer this sea beast in the future, bringing prosperity to this barren sea, to my holand.
Oh, right, respected Lady Aslina.
Previously, your Book Tower promised to forge a Deep Sea Blast Cannon that could fire underwater for . Until now, there's still no news."
No need to ask, until now, with the Deep Sea Hunter dead, the Book Tower hadn't completed it.
Chen Qi looked at the Book Saint with a face full of disdain.
"Ahem!"
The Book Saint closed the book:
"This is the information about the Ember Beast. Black Hunter, how is it?"
"Not bad."
Chen Qi used his fist to knock the Book Saint's head hard:
"Aslina, I want to hire Disaster ssengers from your Book Tower."
Chen Qi began formulating his plan.
The Ember Beast concerned the forbidden dinsional rift;
it had to be found as soon as possible.
Besides the bait plan, he also needed to prepare a trap plan.
In the coastal areas, there were over two hundred islands with lighthouses.
Adding whirlpools, that ant he had to establish three hundred observation points, needing three hundred ssengers with powerful detection abilities to contact him.
Only this way could he arrive on the scene the mont the Ember Beast appeared again.
He hoped this sea beast would appear again sooner rather than later... Chen Qi threw so bait infused with his spiritual energy into the sea.
"Okay, okay! Whatever you say, Black Hunter!"
The Book Saint imdiately relaxed, saying lazily.
It seed the Black Hunter wasn't planning to tell the Ice Witch about her escape!
No need to get whipped! The Book Saint said leisurely:
"You can just tell the Tower Master directly.
This battle consud a massive amount of my spiritual energy."
The Book Saint stretched lazily.
Compared to escaping the Ice Witch's whip, sleeping was much more comfortable.
Chen Qi had promised her a vacation of over two days!
A vacation of over two days!
Finally! Finally, she could rest!
"I'm going to sleep first. Oh, right, I want Water Spirit Number Seven to give a massage while I sleep.
Bye bye~"
The Book Saint turned around, ready to head to her bedroom for a good sleep!
In this world, nothing was more comfortable than sleeping.
However, the mont she took a step—
*Squelch!*
Suddenly, the Book Saint's mouth pouted, and she spat out a mouthful of thick, black blood.
"???"
"Impossible! This pitch-black blood shouldn't be able to harm my spiritual energy!"
The Book Saint clutched her slender neck, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Black blood, inside my body, absorbing my spiritual energy..."
The Book Saint's eyes, her fair skin, her thighs, continuously grew pitch-black pustules.
*Pop!*
The pustules burst open, sprouting one after another pitch-black branches, emitting scalding black smoke!
The Book Saint was already low on spiritual energy. Under the influence of this power, she directly collapsed.
Chen Qi was startled and caught the Book Saint.
These were the terminal symptoms of Black Blood Mutation Disease!
The Black Blood Mutation inside the Book Saint's body had suddenly mutated.
And this mutated black blood power even made the Book Saint unable to suppress it!
"It hurts! No! There's another power, using this blood as a dium!"
The Book Saint bit her finger. The skin on her body began to twist, appearing with a large number of whale-like runes.
"It's okay, stabilize the black blood inside your body."
Chen Qi picked up the petite Book Saint and went to find Little Crow and the Ice Witch.
The danger level of the black blood far exceeded imagination.
Now, the Book Saint had to take the antidote for the Black Blood Poison!
Fortunately, although it hadn't entered mass production yet, Little Crow, who had digested the Black Death Doctor's knowledge, had already manufactured quite a bit of the antidote.
On the way, he saw that about one-tenth of the people were showing the sa symptoms.
In the area where the Black Blood Empire prisoners of war were held, unprecedented screams erupted!
All the Black Blood soldiers who had taken the Black God's Weapons potion, in an instant, underwent black blood mutation, their flesh rotting, wailing incessantly—
Although under Chen Qi's arrangent, Mada Oli had already strictly forbidden anyone from taking the black whale blood.
However, because of this bloody battle, quite a few navy personnel, for the sake of power, had taken the risk and taken the black whale blood.
Plus, before the ban, black whale blood was already a highly praised potion.
In the distance, many navy personnel also knelt on the ground, continuously coughing up thick, black blood.
Chen Qi frowned.
This was clearly not the normal situation for Black Blood Mutation Disease.
An ancient power from the edge had awakened these slumbering pitch-black blood.
In his spiritual energy vision, black blood continuously emitted black smoke, drifting towards the distant sea.
The wind carried an ancient, joyful voice.
"Whale Father..."
Chen Qi carried the Book Saint, arriving at the top of the lighthouse, his gaze following the black smoke.
Without a doubt, that direction was the direction of the Great Whale.
