Chapter 58: Traders in the Deep Sea
The moon is high in the sky, and the fog is getting thicker and thicker.
The captain of the big boat fishing for moonfish glanced at the fog in the distance with his peripheral vision and couldn't help but stop giving instructions.
"What's the matter, Captain?"
asked a young red-haired crew member.
"Someone has suffered again."
The captain shook his head, raised his right hand high, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Everyone, light the ship's lights, stop what you are doing, let's go find other schools of moonlight fish!"
Everyone looked at their captain in confusion.
You know, every moonlight fish here is worth five hundred to two thousand shellfish coins! There are at least two thousand moonlight fish here!
If they could catch all the moonfish here, they wouldn't have to work for a month.
The captain explained: "We can't stay in this place anymore. Deep-sea merchants have appeared."
Deep sea trader...
The moment he finished speaking, the entire ship fell into silence for a moment.
They suddenly gathered towards the light, then looked at the mist in the distance and let out a long sigh.
…
…
The center of the fog.
The cabin boat's boat lights were on.
Chen Qi paced back and forth on the deck of the small house boat. He looked at the small black boat in front of him and the black skeleton with a tentacled head.
What the hell is this?
Chen Qi touched his chin with his hand.
He remembered that this monster was written in the guide on the Witch Sea section, and he also made related game guides.
This monster is dangerous, but as long as it is in the light, it will not threaten his life.
However, he couldn't remember the name at the moment.
Chen Qi leaned on the boat and asked bluntly:
"What are you?"
The dark skeleton on the black boat slightly raised the lantern in his hand: "Guest... I am... a person doing some small business on this sea.
You can also call me... a deep-sea trader. "
Deep sea trader!
Hearing this word, Chen Qi clapped his hands and remembered.
The Deep Sea Trader is a quite famous monster at night in the Witch Sea.
He will drive a dark boat close to ships on the sea and sell some rare props.
Of course, there is one thing among them that deep-sea merchants will 'buy' at a high price.
That's the boat light.
The Deep Sea Merchants are extremely powerful, and even a fully armed third-level transcendent or even a large merchant ship would have a hard time fighting them head-on.
In other words, his strength can be completely based on robbing rather than doing business.
However, he has a fatal weakness:
Fear of light.
If he touches even a little bit of light, his body will melt quickly.
Therefore, deep-sea traders will try their best to destroy or buy the ships' lights, and then devour them in the darkness.
When going to sea at night, you must install a high-end boat light. One of the important reasons is for deep-sea trading.
Chen Qi looked at the blood stains on the sea.
Just now, the cadres of the Black Rabbit Gang extinguished the ship's lights in order to get closer to him. At the same time, the kerosene lamp in his hand was blown up by Chen Qi.
The moment the light disappeared, he was dragged into the sea by the deep-sea traders, leaving no trace of his body.
"Deep sea traders..."
Chen Qi raised his head and faced the merchant in the deep sea with a villain-like friendly smile.
The goods sold by the Deep Sea Traders are quite good, and players have also published strategies for finding the Deep Sea Traders.
However, there are many people in Yueshi City who go to sea. Under normal circumstances, the probability of encountering deep-sea merchants is very small.
This is a small probability event!
He and the cadres of the Black Rabbit Gang are in great luck!
In the eyes of many people, the Deep Sea Trader is a terrifying monster. When most people see him, their first reaction is to protect the ship's lights and then run with all their strength.
But in Chen Qi's eyes, the danger level of the other party was not enough to warrant escaping.
In addition to being afraid of light, deep-sea merchants also have another huge weakness.
That was the blackened lantern in his hand.
The charred lantern of the deep-sea trader would emit a faint light. In this special light, he could barely maintain his body shape while looking directly at the light of the ship's lantern.
Without this lantern, he would not be able to look directly at Chen Qi's cabin boat, nor would he be so close to his cabin boat.
In other words, although the strength of the Deep Sea Traders far exceeds his.
However, Chen Qi could also shoot at the blackened lantern in his hand, and then smash the kerosene lamp at the opponent to kill him.
As long as he is in the light and has a long-range weapon that can attack the charred lantern, then he has the possibility of killing the opponent. The deep-sea merchants are very powerful, but also very fragile.
The deep-sea trader approached Chen Qi, and the skeleton's neck made a clicking sound:
"Guest... As you can see, my lantern is broken, you can sell me a lamp..."
"I'm not in the mood to listen to your childish scams. Tell me what you have to sell!"
Chen Qi interrupted directly and pointed his gun firmly at the lantern in the opponent's hand.
His time is limited, and he has no interest in playing the game of chase and escape with the deep-sea merchants.
When facing deep-sea business, never show fear.
Otherwise, he will have a high probability of using some long-range weapons to directly attack your ship.
"..."
The deep sea trader was silent for a while.
After so many years of wandering in the sea, this was the first time he encountered someone so arrogant.
He stretched out his pitch-black skeletal hand:
"Guest...people call me...the monster in the deep sea...are you..."
The lantern in the hand of the deep-sea merchant swayed. After all, he was also an old monster that had been famous in the deep sea for a long time.
Should the other party show him some respect?
Um?
Chen Qi rolled his eyes at the other party.
They all hang out on the sea.
If the opponent is a monster of the deep sea, then he is still a succubus of the deep sea!
This guy actually asked him for respect...
Chen Qi looked carefully at the existence in front of him.
In player forums and academic forums in Beiguo, people have been asking whether the deep-sea trader is a special kind of deep-sea monster?
Deep sea traders are not monsters of the deep sea.
In the Sea Beast Encyclopedia of the Witch Sea, there are only special parasitic sea beasts that are highly intelligent.
But even intelligent parasitic sea beasts can only imitate part of human actions.
Therefore, [Deep Sea Merchant] is very likely to be an extraordinary person who has entered the path of madness, the shell phase.
If a high-level transcendent adopts the wrong promotion method, it is very likely that he will become deformed and evolve into something close to a monster.
In the eyes of extraordinary beings, this kind of distortion is called the 'way of madness'.
In order to prevent further transformation, one needs to complete one's 'professional tasks' even more crazily and stabilize one's spiritual anchor point.
It can be said that the deep sea trader has no reaction to his deep sea aura, which is enough to prove that the other party's essence is still a 'human being'.
There is no need to be polite when speaking to this kind of weird thing, and you must not be timid... Chen Qi held his chin and said in a fierce tone:
"Stop talking nonsense! Believe it or not, I will shoot out the lantern in your hand!"
Lantern... The deep-sea trader paused.
Instead of being angry, he stepped back slightly.
The other party knows his weakness...
The deep-sea trader put away the lantern in his hand:
"Guest... It seems that you are more knowledgeable than I thought... It seems that it is the goddess of the sea who asked us..."
"Again, I have no interest in listening to your nonsense."
Chen Qi was a little impatient:
“Tell me quickly, what goods do you have?
Also, no one tells you that as a businessman, you need to practice your spoken English well. If you speak so intermittently, why are you selling anything? "
Deep Sea Trader paused for a moment.
The other party is too arrogant, really too arrogant!
He even mocked his spoken language!
After all, he doesn’t have a normal head, and his whole body is covered with skeletons. He appears on such a dark and windy night, can you give him some face?
It would be nice to show a look of horror for a moment.
Customers are gods... The deep-sea trader felt that he was insulted, but he still said in a good voice: "Guest, I have a lot of good things here. I have a special charm potion that can make you grow short. Tentacles, your physique will be greatly improved, and at the same time, your wife will experience unprecedented pleasure..."
Most of the things sold by deep-sea merchants are weird things.
After taking the tentacle injection, the body will grow tentacles, and there is a high probability that it will lose its rationality and become a monster that only reproduces.
Typical deceptive product!
"No interest. Next, let's talk about some products that are actually useful, not this kind of deceptive garbage."
Chen Qi said immediately.
Besides, there is a tentacle monster in the spine of his back now.
Deep Sea Trader's whole body moved.
The other party refused too decisively.
Although he only has first-level strength, judging from the current situation, his knowledge is definitely not that of ordinary people.
"Guest, it seems you don't like this product. I thought you, like me, also longed to be part of the tribe."
He thought for a moment and said his product:
"Tentacle potion, tentacle sword, snake blood staff, storm scroll, professional sea chart drawn by the Ice Demon Pirate Group, sea snake venom, and deep sea breathing skill card, Undine summoning scroll..."
