Witch, I am really not the ancient god of the deep sea!

A saint-level thug... Chen Qi raised his head slightly and looked at the tentacle merchant in front of him with interest.

Instead of improving yourself, try recruiting a true monster thug of the deep, the scourge of the sea.

Chen Qi asked:

"Little Tentacle, how much are you worth?"

"???"

The tentacle merchant raised his head.

What does this adventurer who has no merit other than his "fragrance" want to do? The little tentacle merchant said quite confidently:

"My price is different from that of you lowly humans who have not been blessed. It is worth at least 10 million ancient currencies!"

Chen Qi raised his eyebrows:

"Ten million ancient coins, are you worth more than Poseidon's savings?"

"..."

The petite tentacle merchant was stunned for a moment. For a moment, she didn't know whether the shameless human in front of her was mocking her or the great Poseidon!

Chen Qi re-explained:

"I mean, how much does it cost if I hire you to fight in a battle?"

The tentacle merchant raised his head and asked doubtfully:

"Who to hit?"

Chen Qi thought for a moment and replied:

"Some little pirates."

Although the monsters of the Merchant's Coffin rarely take the initiative to attack, as long as money is involved, they are the extremely sharp blades of the Sea's Coffin!

The tentacle merchant pointed to where the black whale group had gone and asked:

"Those trash fish?"

Chen Qi nodded:

"Yes."

The tentacle merchant closed his eyes, moved his tentacles across the ground, and fell into deep thought.

As a small businessman, she does not do business at a loss, and as a monster, she does not want to be a slave to humans.

The tentacle merchant re-evaluated Chen Qi's strength. With Chen Qi's current strength, accidents and serious injuries would inevitably occur during the battle.

By then, if Chen Qi is dying, lying on the cold ice wall, unable to move.

At that time, she could stop all the medical staff and come to Chen Qi like a benevolent angel.

She would use the gentlest words, hold his hand, and then tell Chen Qi:

"One hundred million ancient coins, one life!"

One's own life is priceless, and no matter how much the price is, it is reasonable... The tentacle merchant grinned his fanged mouth and couldn't help but smile.

Even under the will of Poseidon and the constraints of Bei Zhi's code, she can still use her 'life' to make Chen Qi owe a huge debt and become her slave.

Even, when necessary, she can choose to take the initiative to complete the deal.

After all, she is the native of this forbidden rift, and the adventurer in front of her is just a stupid foreigner!

Thinking of this, the tentacle merchant's eyebrows slightly curved, the corners of his mouth raised like an arc, and he couldn't help but smile:

"Yes...Human, you only need a thousand ancient coins, and I am willing to help you fight. Under the witness of Poseidon, I am willing to work with you to let those weak humans understand what true strength is!"

Chen Qi nodded slightly.

Sure enough, just like what was said in the forum, although they are very dangerous, aggressive, and mean-mouthed, they can cooperate!

Chen Qi’s idea is simple.

Use the power of the Tentacle Merchant to fight against the Blue Beast and the Black Whale Group.

But there is also a danger hidden in it, that is, in order to ensure 'safety', he must sign an extraordinary contract with the tentacle merchant.

The tentacle merchant took out a bloody parchment contract paper:

"Come on! Human, sign the employment contract!"

Chen Qi took the contract paper and scanned it.

This is a scale that can be used to agree that both parties must fulfill their commitments in the contract. Once violated, unimaginable disaster will occur.

The content of the contract handed over by the tentacle merchant included that in addition to the tentacle merchant needing to help him fight against the Black Whale Group, the employer and the employee were not allowed to attack each other.

At the same time, the employee can also use the power of the contract to perceive the employer's position.

It's all a trap... Chen Qi frowned.

Although it seems reasonable, in fact, this contract is full of pitfalls.

First of all, he only promised that the two sides would not attack each other, but did not stipulate that both sides must protect each other.

In addition, there is also a hired person whose position can be locked through a contract.

The corners of the tentacle merchant's mouth curled up slightly. She knew that the lantern on Chen Qi's waist could deal with her!

However, the lantern could not defeat her, it could only keep Chen Qi away from her.

This contract is enough to give the tentacle merchant the power to locate him.

This also means that once the contract is signed, the tentacle merchant will always know the location of Chen Qi.

Even if Chen Qi finally defeats the Black Whale pirates, the tentacle merchant can slowly torture him and become a nightmare following him.

What a big pit... Chen Qi looked at the little tentacle merchant with a smirk on his face.

The tentacle merchant crossed his hands like a devout believer and smiled gently:

"Under normal circumstances, extraordinary contracts also require fees, but human beings, I am willing to give you a preferential treatment."

Chen Qi hesitated for a moment and signed the contract.

The problem of tentacle merchants is not unsolvable.

After all, the tentacle merchant may not be the opponent of the blue beast.

Moreover, the resurrected Ice Witch can easily deal with the monsters in front of her.

Even if the Ice Witch is unwilling to help, Chen Qi himself is confident that he can defeat the arrogant tentacle merchant in front of him in the future.

In the morning, he cut his finger with a knife and signed a blood contract:

"Food and shelter are provided, and if you are injured, free medical treatment is provided."

"Congratulations, you have a reliable thug.

I can't be hurt by those weak trash."

The tentacle merchant accepted the contract, and her long tentacle hair danced with the cold sea breeze.

Then, her bare feet stepped lightly on the ground, and then suddenly turned her head:

"Wait for my good news, human, soon you will have a ship that can sail in the underworld sea."

After that, the tentacle merchant began to contact the monsters in the city and began to build ships with all his strength.

These monsters can really communicate... The little crow looked at the tentacle merchant who was going away and patted his chest:

"A monster commanding shipbuilding...I hope nothing goes wrong."

After the little crow finished speaking, a cold wind blew.

Should I find something to block the little crow's crow mouth? Chen Qi had a bad premonition. He picked up the medicinal materials he had just bought, and a trace of anxiety flashed in his eyes.

It has been a while since they went ashore. I don't know how the seriously ill Fen is doing.

…

…

On the Ghost.

The water elves have become ice sculptures and have fallen into hibernation.

On the deck, Fen rolled up a heavy and stiff blanket, resting her little head on her knees, staring blankly at the bonfire in front of her.

The flickering firelight illuminated her pale face.

The bright red flowers on her head turned into withered white, and petals fell one by one under the breeze, sinking into the sea.

It was so cold… Fen’s eyelids fell, and her consciousness gradually blurred.

“Fen, Fen, she can’t die, she can become the hope of the family, a saint-level existence…”

“Fen, she can bring strength to the family…”

In the vague hallucination, someone called her name.

Fen slowly opened her eyes. In the hazy fog, her parents knelt in front of the head of the family, begging painfully, hoping that the head of the family would give them the antidote to cure the blood flower disease.

However, in a large family like the Canary, which is known as the "Hand of the King", the internal struggle is particularly fierce.

Her parents failed to pass the trial of the family's A-level crack and advance to legend, so they were not qualified to exchange for the precious antidote.

Even if, for the head of the family, to get the antidote, they only need to go to the A-level crack they have taken in and pick a flower.

In the end, in the desperate wailing, her parents had their legs broken and were thrown out.

What... time is this? Fen's consciousness is getting more and more blurred.

In the end, she felt that she was holding her parents' hands, all the way through the black forest, across the snow-capped mountains, and floating across the sea.

They took a long boat, encountered a black dragon, encountered pirates, and finally, after many adventures, came to an isolated island, an isolated island in the sea.

On the isolated island, a prophet in a robe sat elegantly on a rocking chair, humming, drinking coffee, and flipping through ancient books.

And at the feet of the prophet, there was a sea of ​​corpses and blood that spread for thousands of miles.

She saw her parents holding hands and walking forward, passing through the sea of ​​blood and corpses, and kneeling in front of the prophet, praying devoutly.

The prophet was silent and drank coffee.

Finally, they knelt for a long time until the snow fell.

Finally, the prophet softened his heart and they reached a deal. The prophet stood up and knocked on her little head three times, and a bright red flower grew from her head.

"All redemption has a price."

The familiar voice came into Fen's little ears.

Then, her parents hugged her and kept sobbing.

They made an exchange with the prophet.

What exchange did they make? When was this memory? Fen felt that her memory was like the sand in an hourglass, becoming more and more blurred.

"Am I... going to die...?"

Fen thought silently in her heart.

From childhood to adulthood, she has experienced this feeling of dying many times, but never once, as strong as now.

The cold penetrated her whole body.

"So tired..."

Fen slowly closed her eyes.

However, suddenly, a new hallucination appeared in front of her eyes.

Chen Qi was looking at him seriously as usual.

Chen Qi reached out his hand gently, and then pinched her cheek!

Qi in the dream was just as hateful, totally disrespecting the elegant witch... Fen smiled bitterly and did not resist.

It would be nice to be treated like this before going to bed.

Wait! This doesn't seem to be an illusion!

It hurts!

Chen Qi is really pinching her cheek!

Damn guy! Fen sneezed, blushing, and looked at Chen Qi.

"Fen!"

Chen Qi shouted and said:

"It's time to take medicine, Fen! Don't sleep too deeply!"

"I know, I know..."

Fen hid the nightmare just now in her heart and looked at the scene in front of her.

Chen Qi looked at her worriedly in front of him.

Next to him, the new crew member they tied up from the Black Whale Group, Doctor Crow of the Black Whale Group, was holding a hot medicine soup and a spoon to her little mouth.

The little crow took the medicine soup and said:

"These are the latest purchased herbs. I know a little about medicine preparation."

You two, are you getting too close... Fen, like a professional master, said coldly:

"There are some useless nutrients in the medicine, which will only reduce the purity of the medicine."

"Well, you are right."

The little crow did not refute and handed the medicine soup to Fen's mouth.

Fen, who was wrapped in quilt, looked like a cat bug, opened his mouth and said:

"ah--"

"!!!"

Do you want me to feed you? Little Crow shook his hands slightly and his face turned slightly red.

She suddenly realized, isn't the rumored cold Flower Witch a little cute?

"ah--"

The little crow carefully fed the medicinal soup to Fen.

Like a kitten, Fen slowly drank the medicinal soup with her small mouth.

As the medicinal soup was poured into her throat, a majestic heat spread throughout her body.

Fen's pale face gradually turned rosy, and the withered little flower on top of her head also stood up again.

Sure enough, the medicinal materials in the Merchant's Coffin can suppress this extreme cold... Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

As the protagonist of Witch Sea, Fen is much more fragile than she imagined.

Maybe it's because she didn't turn black... Chen Qi thought silently.

However, if you think about it carefully, Fen in the original timeline often exchanged his life for power. By the middle and late stages, he had turned into an ice-cold witch with half-white hair.

Fin asked with concern:

"How's it going?"

In order not to worry Fen, Chen Qi did not say too much information and just said in a deep voice:

"There is no major danger. We are upgrading new ships. We will arrive at the Witch's Coffin in about five days."

In five days, you can see the teacher and enter the Witch's Coffin... Fen looked at Chen Qi who was working hard, wrapped in a quilt, and touched Chen Qi's forehead with his little head:

"Thank you for your hard work, Qi!"

Bang! Chen Qi touched his forehead, which felt warm.

Fen smiled slightly, her goal of traveling thousands of miles to reach the Witch Sea was finally coming true!

Fen promised Chen Qi:

"You two, after my teacher is resurrected, she will not forget to reward you!"

"Especially you! Kai!"

Fen was wrapped in the quilt, thinking about introducing Chen Qi to the teacher and parents, and then the teacher and parents looked happy and giggled.

Hopefully, Fen, who has not been able to turn black, is still as optimistic and naive as ever... Chen Qi smiled bitterly in his heart. The Ice Witch should be able to help them survive the crisis for a long time.

…

…

The coffin of the sea, the Snow Mountain, the fifth day after Chen Qi and the Ice Demon pirate team separated.

In the thick snow, twenty-five extraordinary beings wearing thick ice ox hair coats trudged forward in the blizzard.

"Everyone, keep holding on, keep holding on!!"

"Follow the map, we'll be there soon!!!"

The leader, Palu, used crutches to hold on to the snow and crawled upwards with difficulty.

Bree moved forward with difficulty. All the flesh and mechanical parts of his body were severely stiff, and his whole body was like a creaking puppet.

In the army, whether it is the other three weak legends who have just been promoted, other third-level extraordinary beings, or the intelligent marching beasts, they have all suffered from severe cold injuries.

This cold injury ignored their extraordinary bodies and penetrated into their hearts and even the depths of their souls.

In the coffin of the sea, these extraordinary beings who are invulnerable to all diseases in the real world are as fragile as frail children.

"How long... how long... Captain..."

"I want to drink the broth made by the Black Hunter..."

"I... I'm so hungry... I can't hold it anymore..."

"My future virtuous wife...is still waiting for me to come home..."

"When will you have a wife?"

Brie's mouth was trembling as she followed the others and spoke with difficulty.

They had not eaten for twenty hours since the last time they ate a batch of ice watermelon bugs the size of fingernails.

At the same time, in the snowstorm, the device they used to communicate with Chen Qi was interfered with the signal and could not be used at all!

The food was exhausted and the boundless cold penetrated their minds.

Even if they arrive at the Witch's Coffin, if Chen Qi does not arrive as promised, they will lack combat power and will undoubtedly die!

And even if Chen Qi arrives, they don't have enough food to continue to maintain their vital signs!

The crowd moved forward like zombies, as if they had turned into unconscious ice sculptures.

"persist in!"

Palu did not answer, and continued to hold on to his crutches, trudging through the blizzard and heading towards the heights of the snow-capped mountains.

Suddenly, he stopped and looked into the distance.

They have reached the top of the snow mountain!

I saw, accompanied by the roar of the storm, Palu shouted loudly:

"Already arrived!"

Palu looked into the distance. Even through the huge blizzard, he could still see the transparent blue barrier standing at the end of his field of vision and the magnificent extraordinary building!

"arrive!"

Brie let out a breath and led everyone to the back of Palu with difficulty. He stood in front of the snow-capped mountains and looked at their final destination - the Witch's Coffin!

In the distance, on the vast expanse of snow, you can vaguely see that the entire earth seems to have sunk down, forming a rectangular parallelepiped with sharp corners, like a human-made earth coffin.

That is the legendary Witch's Coffin, the legendary place where time condenses, the place where the Ice Witch sleeps, the place where countless adventurers return to fight against the God of Death, and the resting place of countless ancient heroes!

In the past, countless adventurers sought the land of immortality!

"We, we're here!"

Pallu raised his hand, clenched his fist, and was about to celebrate.

However, this passion was momentarily buried by the biting cold wind.

boom--

They heard a long, earth-shaking dragon roar.

In the endless storm, Palu's pupils shrank sharply.

His spiritual perception sensed the breath of the Black Whale Group!

However, what was more terrifying than the Black Whale Group was the sight from the sky!

Something was guarding this piece of witch coffin! Palu slowly raised his head.

At the top of the unreachable sky, a pair of dragon eyes that penetrated the entire snow-capped mountain were staring at them.
