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

```

The Ghost Fire Fish's speed became faster and faster, and soon, it disappeared at the horizon.

Why did it run away... Chen Qi felt somewhat reluctant, but he went inside the boat cabin and turned the direction of the small houseboat.

The direction of the Ghost Fire Fish was exactly towards the dangerous sea area.

Chase!

Boom!

The small houseboat headed towards the dangerous sea area marked on the sea chart.

About twenty minutes passed.

Chen Qi stepped out of the cabin, holding a kerosene lamp, carefully observing the movements on the sea surface.

As he got closer to the center of the dangerous area on the sea chart, there were more and more active fish.

Moray eels, flying fish, as well as electric jellyfish, black mud monsters...

The quantity and quality of fish in the current location were a whole level higher than in the previous sea area!

If one were to fish here, they would definitely return with a full load!

Chen Qi, holding the lamp, looked down, as two or three Moonlight Fish swam past below his feet.

Quite pretty...

However, just at that moment, a loud bang sounded!

The whole small houseboat suddenly shuddered!

Chen Qi hurriedly leaned back to adjust his center of gravity and barely stabilized himself.

This shake nearly threw him directly into the sea.

What happened... Chen Qi turned his head sharply to look.

At the sea surface where the houseboat had just passed, there was a small, white, tree-like protrusion.

It wasn't very tall above the water's surface, and in the dark of night, it was quite difficult to notice.

Upon closer inspection, there were quite a few such protrusions ahead.

Damn, if we keep sailing like this, the boat will be smashed to pieces!

"Water Elves, stop the boat!"

Chen Qi commanded, then entered the cabin and shut down the engine.

As a modified boat, the small houseboat's braking system was almost nominal. Even after stopping the engine, there was still a considerable amount of inertia.

Are we going to hit it anyway? Chen Qi worried.

"Woo!"

The Water Elves, upon receiving the command, let out a sharp cry, then swam swiftly to the front of the small houseboat like seven well-trained crew members.

"Wow! Wow! Wow!"

With their combined strength, the small houseboat stopped abruptly and even moved back a bit!

"Hmph!"

The Water Elves showed a confident expression to their master.

"Nicely done!"

Water Elves could be used not only for acceleration but also for braking... Chen Qi praised, then picked up the lamp and carefully surveyed the surrounding sea area.

The white protrusions were more like branches of a tree than rocks.

On the nearby sea surface, there were far more than one protrusion of white branches.

Chen Qi looked beneath the sea surface, initially believing that the sea chart marked white corals.

Now it seemed, beneath the surface of this sea, there appeared to grow a gigantic tree.

The farther forward he went, the bigger and stouter the protruding branches became.

Chen Qi furrowed his brows.

The sea area ahead was scattered with white branches.

In such a place, it was impossible for any ship to pass through.

Even a small vessel like the houseboat couldn't forcefully make its way through these dense white branches.

Swim across?

No, that would be too problematic in case of an accident.

The best way would be to use a spell known as Sea Walking, but that spell could not be mastered without reaching at least Second-tier.

Chen Qi shook his head and then set his gaze on the Water Elves beneath his feet.

Fortunately, he was a Pet Beast Trainer with rich theoretical experience!

Water Elves were naturally intelligent and should understand my intent...

Chen Qi gave some gestures to the Water Elves, and then placed them on the water.

"Woo! Woo! Woo!"

The seven Water Elves nodded; they were all professionally trained.

Following that, Chen Qi stepped out with his left foot, gingerly placing it on one of the Water Elves.

He pressed down with his foot, finding it quite solid, almost like standing on land.

Then, he stepped out with his right foot onto another Water Elf.

Just like that, he successfully stood atop the surface of the sea!

"Phew, it works, but it is a bit of a test of balance."

Chen Qi spread his arms wide to stabilize himself.

This technique of walking on the sea with the aid of Water Elves was not as simple as he thought.

```

After adapting for a moment, the instant he lifted his right foot, a Deep Sea Water Elf obediently swam to his landing spot.

Stepping down, lifting up, stepping down, lifting again!

By repeatedly performing this action, he managed to walk on the sea without using any spells.

Sea Walking. Deep Sea Water Elf, youthful model!

"Perfect!"

Chen Qi took a few steps and felt immense joy in his heart.

He truly was a genius, having mastered an incredibly practical spell for the open sea in just a few minutes!

This spell, even many second-tier mages might not be able to learn in a year!

Maintain balance, maintain balance... He held a lantern in his left hand and a black knife in his right, carefully walking towards the center of the sea area.

The closer he got to the sea region, the more he could see the huge branches on the sea surface, and more and more schools of fish.

Apart from being spectacular, this giant tree seemed to grow highly nutritious food, which was why there were so many fish around... Chen Qi thought.

He had never before seen such a peculiar scene as a giant white tree growing inside the sea.

Before he knew it, he had already reached the center of this sea area.

Chen Qi lifted his head.

A massive white tree grew here, showing at least thirty meters above the water surface.

And this was just the height visible above the sea.

What a spectacle... Chen Qi cautiously crouched down, picked up the lantern, and peered below at the roots of the white tree.

The roots under the seabed were the main part of the tree.

In the pitch darkness below the sea surface, he saw the giant roots extending like a staircase to the depths of the ocean, bottomless.

At that moment, the quiet Deep Sea Water Elf beneath him stirred.

The lantern in Chen Qi's hand swayed slightly. Stay connected with m v l e mpyr

He saw it!

At the root was a bright white fruit.

And beside the fruit, there was a large black shadow.

A Sea Dragon was coiled on the massive roots of the white tree!

In an instant, the creature that was coiled around the roots moved abruptly, and the entire ocean seemed to shake.

A tremendous oppressive force overwhelmed the sea surface at that moment, causing the surrounding fish to instantly flee from the center of the sea area.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

Aside from the two Deep Sea Water Elves at Chen Qi's feet, the other five Deep Sea Water Elves suddenly leaped out from under the water and clung to him, trembling ceaselessly.

They felt an unprecedented fear!

Boom!

A Sea Dragon, covered in pitch-black scales, violently burst out of the water, causing huge waves, then opened its bloody, fang-filled maw and roared at Chen Qi.

Roar!

It was horrifying!

The Deep Sea Water Elves were so frightened that they vibrated at an extremely high frequency!

Such a huge case of getting up on the wrong side of the bed!

Chen Qi, holding the lantern, stood up and then smiled:

"Long time no see, Near Sea Overlord. I didn't expect your home to be here."

The newcomer was none other than the acknowledged overlord of the nearby sea—the Black Ship Sea Dragon!

From its youthful size and unique demeanor, it was undoubtedly the same Black Ship Sea Dragon he had encountered on his first sea journey.

The resting place of the Near Sea Overlord was actually here.

Chen Qi patted the Near Sea Overlord's head with his hand.

Seeing the other party again brought an indescribable sense of affinity.

Their tone was as dominant as ever, and the oppressive feeling was just as terrifying.

He had changed since then, having mastered the Body Forging Skill and advanced to the First Order.

But still, facing such a colossal creature, he could not help but feel instinctive fear.

Chen Qi subconsciously glanced at the creature's mouth full of sharp teeth.

The other party was gaping, begging him for Extraordinary Fish Bait.

It was apparent that it really enjoyed the junk food 'Extraordinary Fish Bait'.

"Sorry, I didn't bring a fishing rod; I can't gather Extraordinary Fish Bait. I will feed you later."

Chen Qi patted the Black Ship Sea Dragon's head again and then soothed the Deep Sea Water Elves.

Whirring!

The Deep Sea Water Elves lay trembling on his body, turning him into a vibrating electric motor!

Chen Qi steadied his stance and soothed:

"Don't be afraid, it's okay, it's just a little Sea Dragon..."

After a long while, the Deep Sea Water Elves ceased trembling and looked up at their master with adoration!

The Deep Sea Water Elves didn't think I tamed the Black Ship Sea Dragon with dominance, did they... Chen Qi laughed, clapped his hands, and looked at the white tree before him.

More than the Black Ship Sea Dragon, he was even more curious about the white tree before him.

He leaped onto the white tree and then looked at the surrounding fish.

This place might make for a fine sea farm.
