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

Chapter 160: Chapter 139: Bloody Bounty Order



```

"Caw, caw, caw," a flock of pitch-black crows scattered bounty orders from the sky before swiftly departing.

Suddenly, a clamor arose from the port.

"Hey, hey, what's the joke? Who brought this bounty order in?"

"Dare to toss a Black Whale Group bounty order into our naval territory?"

"Quick, catch whoever is spreading the bounty orders!"

"??"

Chen Qi took down the bounty order that had covered his face and opened it.

This bounty order was made of parchment, and on the back, there was a picture of a deep red, blood-colored shark, carrying with it a strong scent of blood.

This format wasn't a naval bounty order but rather the Black Whale Group's bloody bounty order!

The bloody bounty order, compared to ordinary bounty orders, offered greater rewards and could be claimed without cumbersome procedures.

The Black Whale Group would fulfill their promise immediately and give the highest respect to the person who completed it.

Even if the person was an enemy of the Black Whale Group, they would still pay out the reward.

Once, Palu, captain of the Ice Demon Pirate Group, and Little Red Riding Hood from the Blood Blade Pirate Group, had claimed bounties from the Black Whale Group numerous times.

On the vast sea, the Black Whale Group's bloody bounty orders were far more persuasive than the troublesome naval bounty orders.

In the Witch Sea, the last ones wanted by a bloody bounty order were Little Red Riding Hood from the Blood Blade Pirate Group and a mechanic from the Ice Demon Pirate Group.

And these people were all well-known figures in the Witch Sea!

Chen Qi's mouth gaped slightly.

On this bounty order, there were only two people.

Him and the Flower Witch!

And if someone could capture the Flower Witch, the reward was as high as fifty million Shell Coins, and the Black Whale Group even promised to grant a Fourth-Rank Legendary Profession Card!

For him, the reward was a whopping thirty million, and besides, the Black Whale Group promised that if you caught him, they would also give out a Third-Rank Profession Card!

What's more, unlike the naval bounty order.

This bounty order emphasized one point:

Alive!

If they caught a corpse instead, the Black Whale Group would not give any reward; instead, they would flay them alive.

"Alive, is it that serious..."

Chen Qi hooked a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

Even without the Black-eyed Captain spilling his secrets, he had still become a target for the Black Whale Group!

The Flower Witch had mastery over the secret knowledge of the Witch Sea, so for the Black Whale Group, they wanted the witch alive!

But why did they want me alive?

Chen Qi thought for a moment.

The biggest possibility was the Residual Fire Touch, a piece of lost equipment—perhaps someone recognized this rare item.

Second, it could be because of his performances on the high seas.

They wanted Chen Qi to join the Black Whale Group and become one of them.

Regardless of which possibility, neither were good news... Chen Qi threw the bounty order into the sea and started the engine.

At least for now, the Black Whale Group didn't know his true identity.

Chen Qi did not feel afraid; instead, he wore a faint smile!

Now that he was already caught in the tide, rather than running away, he might as well enjoy the storm!

Let the storm come more fiercely!

Chen Qi started his small cabin boat, heading for his White Tree base in the nearby waters.

And in a place he didn't notice, a familiar gaze was fixed on him.

The young black-haired girl sat on a wooden crate, turned her head, and watched the small cabin boat move away.

Looking at the retreating figure of the owner of the small cabin boat, she felt he seemed somewhat familiar.

She blinked her expressive big eyes:

"No, he can't be alive, he's already dead."

Besides, even if he were alive, how could a sickly person like him come here?

The black-haired girl opened the Black Whale Group's bounty order and murmured to herself:

"Being watched by that old lady, what a pitiable guy, pitiable Witch Missy, pitiable Black Hunter."

She shook her head; many things were not for her, a young doctor, to interfere with.

Subsequently, she sighed deeply, heading for the passenger ship bound for Sea Demon Island:

"The weather should be nice today, too bad I couldn't have some barbecue before going back."

...

...

On the boundless open sea, the storm raged like an enraged behemoth.

The sky, which had held a trace of the setting sun, was now devoured by thick dark clouds, dyed in a deep, ink-like gray-black.

The rain poured down like a torrent, as if intending to drown the entire world in this endless curtain of rain.

An unprecedented storm!

Chen Qi stood on the deck, holding a bucket, continuously pouring water from the ship back into the sea.

As he left Sea Demon Island, he also received a special prompt.

```

[You have completed the task—Traveler Assassin:

Description: Traveler, you have completed a journey with a witch!

Travel Evaluation: A (You delved deep into the legendary Sea Demon Gorge and encountered the legendary sea demons.)

Reward: 3000 Spiritual Points.]

His Second-tier occupation task was successfully completed.

3000 Spiritual Points, a substantial income!

However, at this moment, Chen Qi had no time to celebrate the completion of his task.

Because his little houseboat was about to be flooded!

This storm was enough to devour the little houseboat!

The houseboat was being relentlessly battered by the waves!

Such massive waves, the tiny vessel simply couldn't withstand them.

Chen Qi could only think of ways to remedy the situation.

"Number One, Three, and Four, steady the vessel!"

"Little Green Algae, stop singing your rain invocation song, the storm is fierce enough already!"

"Hai Yunduo, come back to me, stop pretending to be a dark cloud!"

The deep-sea water sprite clung to the houseboat, constantly steadying itself.

Chen Qi tried his best, hoping to survive this storm.

It was his first time facing such a severe storm!

He must, absolutely must get through it!

"I can make it through!"

Chen Qi shouted.

The moment his words fell, there was a loud roar!

"..."

Chen Qi gradually stopped his actions and looked down at his feet.

A cloud of scalding smoke was rising from beneath his feet!

A scent of char!

"..."

The houseboat's speed abruptly slowed down!

Chen Qi pushed his soaked hair back.

His little houseboat's engine had finally burst! Burst!

When it rains, it pours...

He had not expected to encounter such unfortunate events right after leaving the Flower Witch.

"Is my luck really that bad..."

Chen Qi leaned powerlessly on the boat, staring into the downpour.

If the Flower Witch were here, she could perhaps conjure a magic trick for him.

Ah, missing the Flower Witch on the first day.

Chen Qi sighed and took out the sea map of the Ice Magic Pirate Group.

His current location should be on the edge of the coastal region.

Now that the engine was scrapped, he had to activate the backup engine, the 'Water Sprite Engine.'

With the Water Sprite's current condition, it would take at least three days for him to return to Moonstone City.

No, it might be five days...

Chen Qi shook his head.

Staying on the houseboat for three days, he would surely go insane, and he might even do something very strange to the deep-sea water sprite.

The houseboat was fast, but its ability to withstand storms and attacks was simply too weak.

"When I get back, I must upgrade the ship..."

"Think positive, it cannot possibly get worse, right?"

Chen Qi consoled himself.

Then, the very next second, roars filled his ears!

A gigantic merchant ship was gradually emerging behind him.

Chen Qi immediately threw Little Green Algae into the sea, then looked up at the mountain-like gigantic merchant ship.

Even amidst the wild storm, it stood tall and unyielding!

The distance between the two ships was closing fast, and the huge travel ship became clearer and clearer in Chen Qi's eyes.

Chen Qi's gaze moved up.

The people on the deck were busy. They were wearing raincoats and helmets, doing their utmost to cope with the storm.

For a moment, a busy blond sailor noticed the pitiable Chen Qi.

But before Chen Qi could say a word,

The sailor looked horrified and shouted at Chen Qi through the storm,

"Brother! Run, the Ghost Ship is catching up!"

"????"
