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

```

He had to slowly find an opportunity... Chen Qi touched his chest and looked at the crowd again.

For the pirates of Sawshark at this moment, the treasure chest before them seemed as unattainable as the distant heavens.

The first mate sighed and furrowed his white eyebrows:

"What should we do, Captain?"

Outside the stone door, bloodthirsty Sea Beasts were still trying to shatter them.

There was no time to delay.

But the Deep Sea Hunter's treasure in front of them wasn't something they could obtain easily.

They needed the Captain's directive.

The Black-eyed Captain once again glanced at the crack on the ground.

He pulled out a bottle of highly concentrated rum from a crew member's backpack and gulped it down:

"We are no match for this monster.

However, in legend, the Deep Sea Hunter was not one known for crafting puzzles; his treasures are often placed in the dangerous areas of the ocean.

And in those areas, there is usually a fierce Sea Beast.

Our great leader of the Black Whale Group had long advised us of this.

In such situations, Sawshark is by no means unprepared..."

Oh, you're still prepared! Chen Qi's eyes lit up.

At this moment, the Black-eyed Captain's gaze turned to Little Crow:

"Little Crow, bring out those Sea Beasts you have brought."

Little Crow bit her lip and turned to the tall pirate who was specifically responsible for carrying things:

"Bring them out!"

"Yes."

Bang!

Four backpacks were thrown into the center of the group, a large quantity of blue liquid flowed out from the bags.

Clearly, this was Sawshark's response to the Blood-Eye Wall.

Out from those backpacks, four twisting, wriggling things slowly emerged, sliding their tentacles on the ground.

Blue, octopus-like—

So this was Sawshark's preparation... Chen Qi recognized these creatures.

Aren't these Parasitic Sea Beasts?

But in terms of quality, they were far superior to the one he encountered at the beginning of his journey.

At this moment, a delirious pirate said:

"Captain, can these little things really defeat the Blood-Eye Wall?"

Little Crow, somewhat speechlessly, explained to everyone:

"According to the Royal University Medical Journal of the Sea Volume 11, before parasitizing humans, Parasitic Sea Beasts secrete an invisible substance, which is extremely difficult for humans to detect, thereby creating a special scent.

This scent can make other Sea Beasts no longer attack humans.

Moreover, among the deep-sea species, especially the ancient deep-sea species, there exists a strange balance, and they rarely prey on each other.

Some heretics who worship the deep sea coexist with sea monsters precisely because of this!

That is to say, if we can reduce the damage Parasitic Sea Beasts cause to humans and let them secrete only this invisible scent, we could temporarily be seen as the same kind by the Sea Beasts.

Of course, we still know nothing about the deep sea; this is merely speculation."

After finishing in one breath, Little Crow's throat was a bit dry.

At this moment, some pirates were still looking at Little Crow, blinking, unable to comprehend.

Chen Qi, as a subordinate, summed it up for Little Crow:

"To put it simply, by allowing the Parasitic Sea Beasts to parasitize voluntarily, we might be seen as similar by the Blood-Eye Wall, and then retrieve the treasure chest above the stairs."

Little Crow continued:

"Yes, but the chances of this method are low, it requires..."

It requires gambling with their lives... Chen Qi added silently in his heart.

Bang! Bang!

The Black-eyed Captain loudly struck the ground with his long sword, interrupting:

"Exactly! My brave warriors, by utilizing the Parasitic Sea Beasts on the ground, we can mask our human scent.

We might be able to avoid combat with the Blood-Eye Wall and then take the treasure atop the stairs."

Man-made Deep Sea Affinity! That was Sawshark's method of dealing with the Blood-Eye Wall!

Little Crow, whose speech had been interrupted, clenched her fists:

"All four of these Sea Beasts had their aggression weakened; even if parasitized, the damage to the body would not be significant.

However, Parasitic Sea Beasts are still dangerous, and only those who have a certain adaptability to Sea Beast parasitism can maintain a 'parasite time' for a longer period; otherwise, these defanged Parasitic Sea Beasts are likely to detach from humans."

"Exactly, as the ship's doctor said, these Sea Beasts have had their aggression weakened, very safe!"

The Black-eyed Captain, focusing on the brighter side, loudly reiterated and surveyed everyone present,

"Alright, my brave warriors, who dares to voluntarily place a Parasitic Sea Beast on their shoulder and step over the crack to seize that treasure?"

At that moment, the Black-eyed Captain fixed his gaze on a dark-skinned salvage diver.

This salvage diver, having engaged in fishing and salvaging for many years, had also been infected by a special parasitic fish-like Sea Beast.

Later, he spent a great deal of Gold Coin, lying in bed for a month before he came back to life.

It is said that those who survive being infected by a Sea Beast develop some resistance to deep-sea creatures.

And this salvager had developed such a resistance in his body.

Undoubtedly, he was the most suitable candidate.

"I... I'll do it..."

The salvager was an honest and tough man. He glanced at the Black-eyed Captain, clenched his fists, and quietly stepped forward.

He knew it was a death-seeking act.

But the Captain's commands were above all, not to be disobeyed, and resistance from him would be futile.

At least, Black-eyed Captain might treat his wife and children kindly after his death.

The Black-eyed Captain revealed a gratified smile:

"Truly worthy of being a warrior from Sawshark! If we can successfully obtain the treasure and return to our base at the Black Whale Group!

At that time, you, who have earned the greatest merit, will definitely receive a full chest of Gold Coin!"
