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

He was originally going to go, and contrary to that, the treasure of the hunters was not a difficult thing for him,

Chen Qi decisively agreed, turned his head, and quietly waited for the Flower Witch to provide the information.

He agreed! Three happy little yellow flowers popped up above the Flower Witch's head, followed by a mysterious expression:

"This matter involves the legendary person and is not suitable for idle chat here, please follow me."

The Flower Witch dusted the dirt off her bottom and, with a brisk pace, moved forward, then turned her head and waved at Chen Qi.

Damn riddler, couldn't she just talk here… Chen Qi got up and obediently followed her.

Under the Flower Witch's guidance, the two of them followed the mountain road through the forest, heading towards the highest point of the mountain.

At last, the two reached the peak of Flower Island's great mountain, at a towering cliff.

The Flower Witch walked to the edge of the cliff, placing her hands behind her back, quietly savoring the high floral fragrance and the sea breeze.

"How about it, Chef, the spot I've chosen offers a pretty nice view, doesn't it?"

Chen Qi stepped forward, looking down at the entirety of Flower Island from the mountaintop.

The dusk's dim light sprinkled among the mountains, dyeing the sky a gentle golden hue, harmonizing with the deep blue of the distant sea, forming a lush painting of flowers and seawater.

The port and the villages below the flowers also appeared particularly peaceful.

"Indeed, it's a very nice view."

Chen Qi took a deep breath, the air quality also quite good.

But, this is off-topic!

Weren't they supposed to discuss something very important?

Chen Qi turned his head, looking at the Flower Witch with a skeptical gaze.

"Ahem."

The Flower Witch coughed twice, pointing towards the easternmost seaside part of Flower Island.

In that place, one could see many tents, a temporarily constructed settlement.

Many hunters were stationed there, probably waiting for the crack to open.

The Flower Witch explained:

"In that place, there exists a special large Grade-D crack 'Dragon Nest Site', and every decade, this crack reopens. If no one attends to it, the crack will get out of control, affecting the entire island."

Dragon Nest Site… Chen Qi stroked his chin, pondering; as a former pet trainer, he had cleared many similar cracks.

If disregarding the mutation level, it ranked medium in difficulty within Grade-D cracks.

The Flower Witch continued:

"Inside the Dragon Nest Site of Flower Island, there exists a special herb, Dragon Breath Grass, which grows beside dragons.

I currently, desperately need this herb.

However, Dragon Nest Island has strict class restrictions, and my rank is no longer sufficient to participate in this level of crack."

Chen Qi looked into the distance:

"Simply put, it means I need to go to the Dragon Breath Site, find the Dragon Breath Grass for you as a reward."

"That's not simple at all; that's a herb growing beside the ultimate monster, which means, to get the Dragon Breath Grass, you have to face the final enemy in the crack, the dragon."

"It's manageable."

Chen Qi smiled.

As a player, how could he possibly miss the final boss?

Since he had entered the crack, he would go all out to achieve a perfect clear!

The Flower Witch looked serious:

"Actually, I was initially planning to ask the Hunter Group's Red Crystal team from Flower Island for help, but during the conversation with them, I felt something was off.

This hunter team, they actively invited many traveling First Order Transcendents, planning to enter the crack with them.

From my observations, this hunter team seems quite mild-mannered, but they are far more dangerous than the Black Rabbit Gang we encountered in the hunting field. Hence, I did not entrust them with finding the Dragon Breath Grass."

The expression on the Flower Witch's face was very earnest.

"Is it really not because you're short on money?"

Chen Qi remembered that the price of Dragon Breath Grass was certainly not a small sum.

The Flower Witch paused for a moment:

"There is a small part of that reason, of course, but the dangers of that crack far exceed this hunter team."

She looked at Chen Qi.

Although she had shared some intelligence about the Grade-D crack, she still saw no signs of fear in his expression!

The Flower Witch moistened her throat, looking towards the distant hunter team:

"Next is the most crucial intelligence.

After hearing this information, reconsider whether you want to enter the crack, whether you want to accept my request."

The Flower Witch's face was earnest, she took a deep breath and, after a minute of gathering her thoughts, she said:

"In this Grade-D crack, there likely exists the treasure of the Deep Sea Hunters!"

"Oh."

Chen Qi nodded his head.

After the 'oh', the Flower Witch fixed her gaze on him.

Hunter's treasure, this is the treasure of legend in the Witch Sea!

Should I act more surprised, giving due respect to the treasure of the Deep Sea Hunters and the serious Flower Witch?

Chen Qi's mouth opened, and he exclaimed cooperatively:

"Oh!"

This reaction was about right.

"I know you're shocked now, but please stay calm,"

the Flower Witch continued mysteriously:

"Don't ask me how I know about the legendary Deep Sea Hunter's treasure; it's a secret I cannot reveal.

However, I can tell you clearly that there's a fifty percent chance that the Deep Sea Hunters' treasure exists in this crack.

And this will change the whole situation of the crack!"

"The hunters' treasure is like gold scattered everywhere, it can change a Transcendent's life, enough to make a kind person take up the slaughtering knife, enough to turn close brothers into sworn enemies."

"According to my guess, I am not the only one who knows the information about the Deep Sea Hunters' treasure.

Therefore, by setting foot here, you are very likely to become the victim of people killing each other."

The Flower Witch crossed her arms, releasing what she considered the most important information.

Chen Qi nodded.

For many people, a D-grade crack that definitely contains a Hunter's treasure would indeed be a shocking piece of news.

This piece of information was still very valuable.

Contrary to his expectations, the Flower Witch actually trusted him unexpectedly, telling him such important information.

Similar ages, having met once, plus a trading relationship.

Compared to those inexplicable Hunter Groups, the Flower Witch was more willing to trust Chen Qi.

Of course, trust must be mutual and respected to maintain.

I'll take this mission!

Chen Qi lowered his head, pretending to think:

"Hunter's treasure, huh? It means while I am helping you find Dragon Breath Herb, it's likely that people will want me dead…I see some danger.

If we could agree on a bit more reward."

Indeed, he was still scared... the Flower Witch frowned and scratched her head:

"It's indeed dangerous, sorry, I shouldn't have told you this info, just pay with money for the potion costs, I will deliver the potion to you if I have time."

She thought it over, after all, he was just a First Order Transcendent; it was too dangerous to let him go for the Dragon Breath Herb.

Even though theirs was just a trading relationship, Chen Qi provided the herbs, she made the potion.

But if just because of this, she let Chen Qi enter the Dragon Nest Island and then he died.

In the Flower Witch's view, to some extent, it was as if she'd indirectly killed a young chef.

She would rely on herself then, and think of another way, sighed the stubborn Flower Witch.

"!"

Chen Qi was startled.

She was not playing by the rules.

This was the time to raise the price, wasn't it?

Chen Qi stepped forward, looking towards the distant Hunter Group:

"Flower Witch, what I mean is, we need to talk money."

"Extra money? Say that again, that's the Hunter's treasure, aren't you scared?"

The Flower Witch's head sprouted several question mark flowers, as she touched her empty pocket.

The existence of the Hunter's treasure was enough to dramatically change the entire crack.

Chen Qi spread his hands and said:

"Being scared is normal, but if I shrink back because of fear, then I should never go out to sea in this lifetime."

"..."

The Flower Witch fell silent for a moment, then nodded:

"I don't have much cash, I can only pay with potions, in addition to helping you with the medicine, I can give you another potion to use in conjunction with Pale Scale Fruits as compensation."

"That's fine,"

He agreed really fast!

She remembered, her teacher had told her that to survive in the great seas, never fight alone, and if possible, it's best to develop your own followers!

This was her first trade after arriving in Shell Country, and he was the first person she got familiar with.

A chef who knew no fear.

The Flower Witch bit her lip and reached out her hand:

"Deal!"

Chen Qi stepped forward and shook hands:

"Deal."
