Chapter 243 Shadow of the Lantern
White Tower Federation, free card making, free... Chen Qi looked at the other party.
Generally speaking, the production of a third-level professional card costs one hundred thousand Beis, and if the maker is highly skilled, the price will increase to between three hundred thousand Beins and five hundred thousand Beins.
Of course, in the country of Bei, highly skilled card makers are rare, and the typical rich ones can’t find anyone.
Free card making is a nice little bonus.
Free things often mean danger... Chen Qi scanned the other party carefully.
Except for An, who returned from studying abroad, this should be his first time in this world talking to people from the White Tower Federation.
In addition to the hunter's clothes, there are also two silver water drops hanging on the opponent's ears.
Mercury Drops, met a big shot again... Chen Qi sighed secretly.
Melanie, a well-known card maker in Bei Kingdom, is codenamed Mercury Hunter.
Judging from his clothing and aura, the extraordinary person in front of him was just an ordinary second-level extraordinary person.
But in fact, the White Tower Hunter is good at hiding his own spiritual force field. The true strength of these six people should be level three.
Melanie, a mercury hunter, likes reading, reading newspapers, making cards, playing tricks on others, finding spies, looking for witches, and a series of valuable goodies.
Like Squirrel, Melanie is a young president of the Hunter Association and a novice mentor for many people. At the third level, she has mastered multiple powerful liberation techniques, which are only one step away from being legendary and extremely dangerous.
Melanie shook the wine glass in her hand gently and raised her eyebrows: "Little brother, you seem to need a knowledgeable and powerful card maker. If you really succeed in getting the information about Shadow Tide, this hunter is willing to I’ll help you create your card for free.”
Chen Qi thought for a moment.
The card production level of White Tower Federation is very high.
Card maker is just a auxiliary profession in other countries, but in the White Tower Federation, it is a terrifying fighting force.
The card makers of the White Tower Federation have greater power. They can create many powerful and dangerous cards, and they have mastered the skills of using cards to fight.
Due to the investment of extraordinary resources, 80% of the White Tower card makers have strong combat capabilities. Therefore, they are also called card makers by the world.
It would be quite a good thing to get to know a White Tower card maker...
However, the other party actually thought that I could get the information... Chen Qi thought for a moment and said:
"I hope you won't regret it."
"Of course not. I wish you success, little brother."
Melanie narrowed her eyes and smiled.
Chen Qi shook his head inwardly.
Although it is not a bad thing to meet a White Tower Hunter's card maker, there is no doubt that the other person's motives are impure.
As expected, the other party's purpose is the same as mine, both for the Poseidon Pirate Group's Deep Blue Fire and the Witch's relics.
These six people are all competitors.
In subsequent contacts, one must remain vigilant... Chen Qi took the map away and followed the sea snake captain out of here.
After leaving, Melanie and others also left here and headed to the hotel of the Poseidon Pirate Group.
In the hotel, a White Tower hunter asked curiously:
"Captain Melanie, why did you agree to the hunter's card-making business just now? There is no way for a second-level hunter to get any information about Shadow Tide."
Melanie hesitated for a while and said:
"Well, because I have a crush on him."
"team leader???"
The corner of Melanie's mouth curled up: "I'm just lying to you. My inspiration told me that his strength is far beyond that of ordinary second-level transcendent beings. Coupled with his status as a newcomer, in our plan, Aren't they missing a decoy? A decoy that can attract firepower!
In our current situation, it would be a very good choice to cultivate a bait that attracts attention.
Moreover, if the other party can really get information about Shadow Tide, it will be a good thing for us! After all, Shadow Tide is an extremely rich experience.
Therefore, we might as well contact each other first and give them some benefits. "
Melanie smiled. She was confident that she would use the resources of the White Tower Federation to draw Chen Qi into their adventure team and become a bait.
Can that person really come back alive... The White Tower hunter was speechless, but he still forced a smile and said:
"Good morning, Captain!"
…
…
The next day, midnight.
After Chen Qi handed over to the captain of the Sea Snake, he went to the shipyard and spent 100,000 shells on renovations. Another 200,000 shells were spent to install a stronger three-propeller on the small house boat.
Ghost ships are powerful, but in many sea areas smaller vessels are safer and more concealable.
After upgrading the cabin boat, Chen Qi arranged for Water Elf No. 5 and No. 6 to deal with the tentacle grass work.
The task of repairing the tentacle grass is very simple. The main task is to go to the roots of the tentacle grass, clean the fish bones, and apply a layer of essential oil to the tentacle grass.
They are also deep-sea creatures, and the tentacle grass will not attack the water elves at will. With the water elves' manual ability, it is more than enough to complete two areas.
Finally, Chen Qi spent another 100,000 shellfish to buy ten high-intensity waterproof spherical lights, and then stuffed them into the stomachs of No. 1 and No. 3, allowing them to briefly evolve into light elves.
Another 200,000 shells were spent on a hundred light bombs produced by the Magic Bullet Company.
Although it is expensive, it is a necessary prop for dealing with shadow demons... Chen Qi picked up the sniper rifle and loaded the bullets.
We must find the shadow with the lantern before night comes, and then kill it... Chen Qi said silently in his heart.
After dealing with this series of events, Chen Qi took advantage of the dawn and drove the ship to the origin of the shadow tide.
…
…
At noon, in the waters of Poseidon Island, Black Forest Island.
Under the shade of a huge tree, an expedition team responsible for reconnaissance was running away in a hurry. They held lanterns in their hands and looked back frequently.
Behind them, beast-like sounds came from time to time.
Forest Island is an island with dense trees. The fluffy leaves on the top form a huge cloak of darkness, burying the entire island in darkness.
Before the Shadow Tide attacks, they need a place to live, and this island is undoubtedly the most suitable place for them to live.
There are a total of five people in the expedition team, all of whom are second-level extraordinary beings. They all came here for the millions of shells promised by the Poseidon Pirates.
When they first arrived, the expedition leader was very happy, thinking that what they got was just a simple detection mission!
After all, according to the news, the shadow beast cannot get close to the light.
But now, he couldn't help but said in a trembling tone: "He, is he still there?"
As a sword-wielding soldier, the leader of the expedition team activated the courage skill, but at this moment, he still couldn't stop trembling.
"Captain, I don't know, I feel like they are there all the time, as long as the lantern in our hands goes out!"
In the forest, there was a strong wind, as if there were countless dark hands trying to snatch the lantern from his hand.
"Damn Poseidon pirates! If it weren't for the fire they promised! I wouldn't be here at all! If it weren't for that damn debt collector!"+
The captain of the expedition team gritted his teeth. He was a hunter who had completed Passed three C-level crack missions, twenty D-level missions, and wandered on the line of life and death several times.
His family was originally a well-known miner in the Moonstone Islands. They once rejected the marriage proposal from the mayor of Maruo Town.
However, after the crack tide, due to greed, he teamed up with his friends and borrowed 30 million shellfish from the Bank of the country, but was unable to repay it. The entire family of fifty people fell into debt at the hands of the debtor.
Why? Why do I have to pay back the money? Why do I have to come to this place where no one can shit? Why can't I have my own freedom? If I run away, I won't die at all!
The leader of the expedition team became angrier and regretful the more he thought about it:
"If my family has the ability to solve this matter, I should pursue freedom!!"
He has had enough of this kind of running around. As a graduate of the Royal University of Peking, he should find his love and his legendary road in this sea.
"I want to become a legend, even if I fail everyone! As long as I become a legend, no one can stop me!"
The expedition leader gritted his teeth.
Suddenly, three whips flew out of the darkness, entangled the four team members behind him, and then stabbed into their chests.
Dark red blood instantly splashed on the face of the expedition leader.
Their reaction was a beat too slow, and that beat determined their life or death!
In the darkness in front of them, a tall dark figure, holding a wide scythe, walked towards him.
"Light! Light! Light!" The expedition leader took out his lantern and tried to block the monster in front of him!
All shadow beasts are afraid of light!
However, the other party ignored the light, and instead became even more excited.
The next moment, a slender arm grabbed his head, picked up the sickle, and like cutting grass, dark red blood spread all over the ground.
Bang!
The five people were thrown to the ground casually.
In between breaths, wolf-shaped shadow beasts emerged from the darkness, their tails wagging happily.
After dealing with the five people, the tall figure bent down, holding a sickle, stamped out the lantern, and looked towards the entrance of the forest.
He vaguely heard the voice of a weak person coming from afar.
…
…
"Ha! Ha! Ha! (Go away! Go away! Don't get close to the master! Do you know who my master is?)"
"His! His! His! (I am a monster from the deep sea! A terrible monster!)"
In the black forest, Water Elf No. 1 and Water Elf No. 3 worked hard to expand their bodies, jumping around on both sides of Chen Qi, chasing the shadow beasts in the darkness.
The interiors of Water Elf No. 1 and Water Elf No. 3 have been filled with spherical lights. They are now sufficient moving light sources themselves.
Now, they are light elves!
Chen Qi held the lantern, cut off the flesh and bones, and placed it on his waist, ready for battle at any time.
What Chen Qi is holding is an artifact from the senior transcendent White Cloak, and it is one of the best lanterns in the Witch Sea.
With this lantern, even the giant beast among shadow beasts would not dare to approach him easily.
Therefore, in Chen Qi's view, his only enemy during this trip was the shadow with the lantern in the intelligence.
The crazy extraordinary person will not let go of the opportunity to hunt me... Chen Qi thought to himself.
As long as he patrols the edge of the black forest, it is only a matter of time before he encounters the shadow of the lantern.
However, time is a big issue.
Chen Qi frowned. It was already afternoon, and there was only more than an hour before night fell.
Once it enters the dark night, not to mention killing the shadow with the lantern, even staying alive is a problem.
Under the overwhelming shadow beasts, the lantern could not hold up for too long during the day.
"Wow wow wow wow! (Shadow beast! You are too weak! You are capable of beating us to death!)"
"Waku Waku! (Weak guys, don't even dare to come close to us!)"
The two water elves, one big and one small, were having a great time.
Stop stirring up hatred, my lovely little guys... Chen Qi said: "Come back, the night is coming!"
Bang!
Suddenly, a slender foot stretched out from the darkness and stepped hard towards Water Elf No. 1.
Its powerful foot force instantly trampled the water elf and the light bulb inside into a meat pie.
Snap!
Next, it’s No. 3!
In the blink of an eye, the two arrogant and domineering water elves became meat pies in an instant!
Ignoring the light, the shadow of the lantern... Chen Qi raised his head and looked at the huge existence in front of him.
He was tall and bent, holding a huge black scythe in his hand. His whole body was covered in black, as if he was wearing a layer of armor.
There is fresh blood on the sickle.
Tick tock! Tick tock!
The shadow of the lantern held the sickle with both hands and made an almost crazy voice:
"Do you want me to see you off?"
"Phew, finally found it!"
Good luck, no, or the water elf's taunting made a great contribution... Chen Qi pulled out the flesh and cut the bones, and the touch of the remaining fire covered his body like a tide.
"Second-level strength, deep blue flames..."
The remaining sanity of the lantern shadow immediately analyzed the current situation.
collapse!
Darkness moves! Almost in the next moment, the shadow of the lantern covered the whole body with a layer of black wind, and then the speed increased five times in an instant!
The crazy man obtained powerful physical skills through trading with the shadow beast!
So fast... Chen Qi did not hesitate and decisively turned on his super sense.
Under Chen Qi's feet, a wave quickly spread for tens of meters, forming a circle.
At this moment, Chen Qi's sensory world began to undergo earth-shaking changes, and an unprecedented experience appeared before his eyes.
Super feeling! It can greatly improve the perception of high-speed objects!
In this state, Chen Qi can easily catch the bullet.
later!
Bang!
Behind Chen Qi, black smoke emerged, forming two new translucent tentacles, and then suddenly wrapped around the scythe struck by the shadow of the lantern.
The scythe hit Chen Qi violently, but an extremely tough black energy absorbed most of the attack!
This is steel!
With his powerful perception, coupled with the powerful defense of steel, the attack of the Shadow of the Lantern is completely within his defense range.
Chen Qi immediately took advantage of the victory and pursued it. The tentacles behind him grabbed the shadow of the lantern, and then like a chicken, it slammed into a giant tree.
Blade Breathing Technique!
Phew! Under the majestic strength.
With his heart beating violently, Chen Qi's soles suddenly shattered, he quickly took a shadow step, then picked up the violent meat and chopped the bones, and violently dealt with the shadow of the lantern!
"Cut, chop, chop, chop!"
"die!"
At this moment, the flesh and bone fragments collided with the sickle continuously, emitting light like lightning and flint!
The shadows of knives intertwined into a dense net in the air, and dazzling sparks burst out from every collision, frightening the shadow beasts around them to retreat.
However, the blade breathing method adds steel gas! The powerful explosive power provided by the two skills made Chen Qi's offensive more and more fierce, while the shadow of the lantern became weaker and weaker.
"Not enough staying power! Monster!"
Chen Qi laughed and continued to strengthen his offensive.
This is the explosive power of the Blade Breathing Technique!
"you!"
The eyes of the shadow with the lantern were full of disbelief.
He was crazy and should have become stronger, but now, in his madness, he was pressed against a tree and rubbed against a tree by a second-level transcendent!
Shadow. Wave of madness!
A spiritual force field suddenly exploded on the shadow of the lantern, like a huge wave, shaking the surroundings violently!
"I have entered..."
The Shadow with the Lantern was about to counterattack, but found that Chen Qi had already formed a defensive posture with a horizontal sword.
It seemed that he had already prepared this move.
"Save my flesh and blood..."
Chen Qi's eyes flashed crimson, and he did not dodge. Instead, he slashed his sword horizontally and relied on the steel to forcefully take the blow.
Wave after wave of shadow wolves full of mental oppression hit Chen Qi's body!
"Break its muscles and bones!"
"What kind of trick is this..."
The Shadow of the Lantern tries to condense more powerful moves.
Blade solution. Cut!
With the harsh whistling sound, the birds flew away from the forest one after another.
Chen Qi suddenly drew out a knife and cut off the tall body of the lantern shadow, as well as the three giant trees behind him.
Happy Chinese Valentine's Day! And thanks to everyone for your monthly passes and subscriptions! Thanks(ω)!Thank you!
