"Wow, a golden legend…"
A wave of dusty air hit him in the face.
"Cough, cough! No glowing items, just a lot of dust..." Chen Qi coughed twice, carefully inspecting the items inside the chest.
Inside the chest were three items: a sheepskin scroll, a cerulean card, and a golden amber gemstone.
Although there was no blinding golden light, without a doubt, these were genuine treasures!
At this mont, as Chen Qi reached the treasure chest, a loud shout ca from behind him.
"He... he really did it! He actually made it to that place!"
"Look, the parasitic sea beast is still writhing, gnawing at his body! Can he still hold on?"
"Quick! Throw the stuff down quickly..."
However, right now, Chen Qi was uninterested in those voices. He just wanted to know what exactly the Deep Sea Hunter's treasure was.
He opened the sheepskin scroll, and at the very top, it was written:
"To the adventurer who has co to this place,
If you have made it to this point, then you or your group must have fought a bloody battle with the deep-sea monsters of the ocean.
After my death, the great whale will inevitably traverse the white mist of the setting sun, returning to this world.
And in this ocean, there must be hunters to slay them.
To the adventurers who battled against the Wall of Blood Eyes,
please accept this lone hunter's gift, celebrating your fight."
Between life and death... Chen Qi looked down at his fairly clean clothes and the sea beast massaging his shoulder.
The massage strength and frequency by this parasitic sea beast were quite good.
Massages can unblock ridians and promote blood circulation.
He indeed considered it a bloody battle experience.
Next, Chen Qi briefly skimd the subsequent content.
The rest comprised location descriptions.
"Left of the Moonstone City Bell Tower..."
"Under the triangular whirlpool..."
All locations, this was a treasure map.
The Deep Sea Hunter's treasure actually included a map recording all treasure locations.
Chen Qi tried to morize these locations as best as he could.
However, judging by the content, the Deep Sea Hunter mostly buried treasure in a typical manner, placing it near a dangerous sea beast.
Most supposed Deep Sea Hunter treasures were rely rumors.
A map of the Deep Sea Hunter's treasures was among the most legendary in the entire ocean!
If the Black Whale Pirate Group behind him knew about it, they would probably jump with excitent.
What a valuable thing!
Chen Qi morized so locations before closing the sheepskin scroll and shifting his gaze to the cerulean card.
This card should be a Skill Card...
In the cracks, apart from cards closely related to Transcendent occupations, the most common cards were Skill Cards.
As long as conditions were t, a Skill Card could directly grant a Transcendent a skill.
This card depicted an abstract oil painting of a fisherman sitting calmly on a small boat in a dark gray storm, fishing with ease.
The mont he held the Skill Card, a prompt appeared.
[Skill Card - Stormy Fishing:
Learning Requirents: None
Effect: This card contains knowledge of Transcendent fishing. Even in a storm, you can still catch a big fish.
Description: Are you troubled by the lack of fish when fishing?]
In the Witch Sea area, sea fishing indeed was a decent skill,
but considering this was a deep-sea hunter's treasure, even Transcendent fishing seed unworthy… Chen Qi bit his lip.
One last thing left!
Chen Qi reached out and gently picked up the golden amber gemstone.
Its color was not bright, even sowhat dull, but within it, faintly visible flas burned.
The faintly burning flas gave a feeling of warmth and tranquility, as if carrying infinite power.
An eye-catching prompt appeared!
[Yu Huo of the Hunter:
Description: The remaining fire obtained by the hunter in the Sunken Lighthouse, imbued with Transcendent power.
Nature Form: Light, Blade
Effect:
Light of Yu Huo: Slightly increases the strength of your first to fourth-tier Transcendent occupations.
Hunter's Will: Yu Huo contains a lifeti of battle knowledge of the Deep Sea Hunter, dramatically enhancing your combat learning speed.
Note: We are hunters; they are the prey. May you inherit the will of the hunter, slaying the deep-sea monsters of this world!]
Within the amber, it seed one could see a hunter wrestling with a great whale in a storm, his eyes ablaze with fire-like madness, giving off a terrifying yet reassuring feeling.
Just by looking at it, an intense sense of mystery engulfed him.
Yu Huo... Chen Qi's heart skipped a beat. As soone who had traded many rare items, he knew its value!
Such an item usually only appeared in narrative texts!
In player forums, several major events' storylines revolved around competing for Yu Huo.
The first ability, although only a slight enhancent, considering it neither as equipnt nor an Occupation Card,
but as an indiscriminate boost to Transcendent occupations' core, its value was enormous!
After all, even an old monster with top-tier gear could significantly enhance its strength with this item.
For pioneers, a slight enhancent from an Occupation Card was already imnsely helpful!
Not to ntion the hunter's will, many second-tier occupation bonuses only slightly enhanced learning speed.
Dramatically increasing combat learning speed while containing a legendary hunter's knowledge.
This item could be considered a "zero-tier Occupation Card," a zero-tier Occupation Card nad "Hunter."
An absolute treasure!
This was what belonged in the Deep Sea Hunter Treasure Box!
Just by touching it, Chen Qi could vaguely feel the Deep Sea Hunter's desire to hunt monsters.
Taking this item ant, in a sense, inheriting the hunter's will!
However, with his Deep Sea Affinity talent, Chen Qi's chances of fighting deep-sea monsters were relatively low.
After all, his aura seed stronger than even the Wall of Blood Eyes!
If the Deep Sea Hunter had any spirit, they'd probably kill this aberrant with a single strike.
"Rest in peace. I will inherit the power within."
Hunting humans could also count as hunting, right… Chen Qi stowed his smile, adjusted his viewpoint, and put everything away.
All three items were small enough to fit in his large pockets, even the sheepskin scroll.
In a short while, the voices behind him grew louder.
"Can you still stand?!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Has he already been completely taken over by the parasitic sea beast?"
"Captain, the cracks in the stone gate behind us are widening; the monsters are about to break through!"
At this mont, everyone speculated that Chen Qi had been completely parasitized, becoming a slave to the sea beast.
After all, the sea beast on his shoulder seed increasingly excited!
You're pirates; stay calm. Haven't you seen big waves before... Chen Qi stood up, turned, and looked at the anxious mbers of the Sawshark below the stairs.
Seeing this, Black-eyed Captain stretched his neck and bellowed in his loud voice:
"Can you hold on? If not, throw down the items from the chest first!"
At least put on a show to ensure my safety first... Chen Qi remained silent, looking quietly at everything below.
Black-eyed Captain didn't care about his life, only the items in the chest.
His pitch-black eyes revealed a pirate's fervor, the kind that could kill everyone for treasure.
Would he descend and hand this precious treasure to the Black Whale Pirate Group?
Though Chen Qi had long prepared to escape, he still questioned himself again.
He rembered the Black-eyed Captain's promise, two chests of gold—
if he descended and handed over these items.
Would the captain really keep his word then?
No, without a doubt, the reward would probably be less than one percent of the treasure's value.
As a constituent under the Black Whale Group, which was unlike other free pirate groups, they strictly managed their mbers.
If he perford too outstandingly, he would undoubtedly be closely watched.
The only good thing in the Black Whale Group was having a reliable ntor—Black Crow.
Although Black Crow treated him well, given her undercover status, she might not survive the storm.
Moreover, his body lacked wounds from the parasitic sea beast, aning his Deep Sea Affinity could be exposed.
His body risked dissection... He had no choice; his body was too enticing.
Escaping was the correct choice, the only choice...
Surviving, inheriting the hunter's will, and embarking on a path of strength as a hunter was what he should do.
Chen Qi pondered.
He was in his unique safe zone, under the Wall of Blood Eyes.
Outside, deep-sea monsters slamd against the stone wall, and the Sawshark was about to plunge into chaos.
Now was the best ti.
"Hoo—"
Chen Qi sorted out his cluttered thoughts and exhaled deeply.
Next, he looked at the black knife at Black-eyed Captain's waist, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
