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

White Tower Hunters, are you also tracking the Weaver?

Things just got a bit troublesome, having fellow hunters around... Chen Qi thought for a moment and asked,

"Which direction are they in?"

The tall hunter slowly raised his head, trembling as he raised his hand and pointed towards the dim lighthouse within the town.

Chen Qi followed the direction of his pointing.

That was the Lighthouse established by the Sea God Pirate Group after renovating the surveillance tower following the Smiling Moon.

I see... Chen Qi, holding the daylight lantern, summoned the deep-sea Water Elf,

"Come back, we're leaving."

The deep-sea Water Elves, holding a sack, followed him.

On the ground, besides the Shadow Beast Cores and the creeping shadows, there were numerous Shadow Beast corpses, whose belongings could sell for quite a sum of money.

Besides that, there were Night Scales of the great shadow python, which were excellent materials for armor forging.

However, their removal and size were too large to be suitable for a backpack card.

The dead shadow wave left behind some valuable materials, which would be left to them.

Chen Qi stepped into the dark streets and disappeared from everyone's sight.

After a moment, ensuring that the sound of footsteps was gone, the crowd dared to lift their heads and began discussing briskly.

Among the townspeople, someone asked in terror,

"What on earth was that just now? Its aura was terrifying. Do we really have such a person in our Sea God Pirate Group?"

The tall hunter answered,

"No, the other party isn't a Legend, just a Third Rank Transcendent."

"Third Rank! Could it be Lord Hai Ge? Or one of those supernovas standing at the pinnacle of the Third Rank, or! One of the crazy monsters developed by our bishop, or a special entity among the Shadow Beasts?"

"No, no, considering that the other party was hunting Shadow Beasts, it's obvious they don't belong to that category. Perhaps, they might be the previous Black Hunter..."

"Black Hunter, has he come back from the dead? Wasn't that person beaten to death in a fight with the Gunfire Queen?"

"Wasn't the Black Hunter played to death by the Flower Witch's whip?"

The crowd couldn't hide their surprise at this moment. Out at sea, new talents emerged daily, but once their news vanished from the papers, it often meant death.

And at sea, explosive rumors spread faster than truth.

Coupled with some messages spread by the Blood Blade Pirate Group, many people following the Black Hunter thought Chen Qi had disappeared at sea.

The tall hunter furrowed his brows:

"I'm just speculating, it's not very likely, but anyhow, that pitch-black tentacle means that he will become a monster lurking in our town."

The crowd couldn't help but recall the terrifying figure of Chen Qi, shuddering at the thought.

At that moment, another short, thin hunter in the group said,

"Recently, rising stars like the noble son of Bonfire Energy, the Bomb Hunter, and the kind Hunter An have said they want to kill deep-sea monsters, maybe they could handle this thing..."

The crowd couldn't help but think of this matter. These two hunters had recently become increasingly famous, lately hunting a significant number of deep-sea monsters!

Without a doubt, if the Black Hunter was alive, he would be their prime target!

The tall hunter mocked himself: Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire

"Don't count on others! However, that monster's hunting target is the creatures of the White Tower! Maybe, it won't survive this night..."

The White Tower Hunters are the most potent independent Hunter Group on Sea God Island, the seven of them have completed many S-rank bounty missions.

Whether it's the vast Black Pig Shark, the storm bird flitting among thunderclouds, or the Lava Sea Dragon, they've defeated them all.

The slender hunter said,

"Yeah, especially that Metani, not only is she beautiful! Her strength is also mighty, and it's probably second only to Hai Ge of our Hunter Group."

'Can we not talk about it...'

A little girl reminded in fear, then stared blankly at the corpse of the great shadow python.

That creature, it left them a BOSS Monster Corpse!

In the darkness, the Night Scales of the great shadow python emitted a faint glow.

The crowd swallowed hard, struggling for words, not knowing how to describe their feelings at the moment.

...

...

The dark fog grew denser.

Chen Qi, holding the lantern, walked through the pitch-black streets that seemed to swallow all light.

With the aid of Shadow Step, his steps were light and firm, as if he had reached some tacit understanding with the darkness, leaving no extra sound behind.

The daylight lantern, providing light, was held by deep-sea Water Elf Number One.

And beneath the light of the lantern lay the carcasses of Shadow Beasts, a conservative estimate putting their number at at least a thousand!

But these valuable carcasses were intact, the hunters who had killed these Shadow Beasts didn't care about the value of the remains.

The value of these remains was undeniably high, the White Tower Hunters were pursuing something of even higher worth.

As Chen Qi continued deeper, he had the Water Elf pluck ten creeping shadows.

Unbeknownst to him, his collection of creeping shadows had reached over forty.

Just as he was instructing the Water Elf to lick up the package, a sudden noise broke the silence.

"Where did that antlered creature hide? We must take it down! Otherwise, once it regenerates its flesh in the darkness, we can't imagine the consequences!"

Chen Qi, in the darkness, looked towards the source of the noise.

That was a group of Hunters clad in white hunter garments.

Dressed in uniform white outfits bearing the exquisite emblem of the White Tower, they shone with a silver-white gleam in the dim light, standing out conspicuously.

And in the center was a hunter with white ponytails, wearing light white armor.
