When disaster struck, I became a big shot surviving in the ocean.
Chapter 116: The Cruel Sea Clan A Zhiqiu

Chapter 116: Chapter 116: The Cruel Sea Clan A Zhiqiu

The chat channel was so noisy that even Chen Qing, deep in the deep sea, received a barrage of messages.

It’s unknown what those people promised, but Chen Qing was bombarded with chain messages from several contacts on her friends’ list, all hoping for her help.

But Chen Qing was in no position to be free right now.

Even if she had been free, Chen Qing would not have gotten involved in such matters.

That’s why she could respond so calmly with just those two words on the chat channel.

Immediately, the chat channel was stirred into an uproar, with all kinds of reactions.

However, Chen Qing never cared about their attitudes; others’ reactions could never influence her decisions.

She always did things according to her own heart.

After sending her message, Chen Qing didn’t bother with their reactions, quickly sorting through her friends’ list before returning her attention to the pile of gemstones.

She wasn’t entirely sure if the gemstones could attract the Wind Shadow Jade, but they would definitely lure the Treasure Fish.

A dark, serpent-like Treasure Fish seemed to have smelled the scent of the gemstones, swiftly emerging from the darkness of some direction, greedily eyeing the pile of gemstones.

The intelligence of Treasure Fish was not high; the serpent-like creature had no sense that it was entering a dangerous trap, its heart and eyes filled only with the thought of how much stronger it would become after devouring the pile of gemstones.

However, before it could make its move, another strange and monstrously large Treasure Fish appeared from another side.

At first glance, this Treasure Fish looked poisonous and inedible.

But Chen Qing recognized this odd fish, which was scientifically named the Super Delicious Long-tentacle Lantern Fish.

It had a standing spot on the bounty list, its price always high.

Its name alone made its deliciousness clear, worth the bounty of several hundred goldfish; the degree of its flavor, unimaginable.

More and more Treasure Fish converged from all directions, beginning their struggle for the pile of gemstones.

Chen Qing and her companions remained securely hidden among the scattered rocks and bone piles, without showing a single trace of their presence.

Though the pile of gemstones attracted a large number of Treasure Fish, the Wind Shadow Jade was nowhere to be seen among them.

Chen Qing was a patient Hunter, quietly lying in wait within the rock pile, silently waiting.

The Treasure Fish were fighting so fiercely that the whole region of the sea turned exceptionally turbid, obscuring any view of what was truly happening.

Nevertheless, Chen Qing could feel the number of Treasure Fish rapidly diminishing, while at the same time, more new ones joined the fray.

Suddenly, Chen Qing seemed to sense something and fixed her gaze firmly in one direction.

A shadow slowly emerged from there.

No, to be more precise, it should be described as "a person with a fish."

Seeing the person and Treasure Fish appear together, Chen Qing naturally associated them with the Sea Clan mentioned by the Gem Hunters.

Was she one of the Sea Clan, or was she something else?

Chen Qing wasn’t sure, but she still didn’t reveal herself.

"Little darling, with so much food, you’re in for a treat today," came a cheerful laugh from the figure, as she gently stroked the ferocious and fierce Treasure Fish Sea Beast beneath her.

As a member of the Sea Clan, A Zhiqiu had an exceptionally beautiful face, enchanting and captivating.

However...

At the urging of A Zhiqiu, her sea beast joined the battle for the gemstones, and as the fierce creature charged into the swarm of Treasure Fish, the fish met their deaths in its mouth at a terrifying speed.

Blood spread through the seawater, and Chen Qing smelled the strong scent of blood.

That Treasure Fish was indeed very powerful.

After the death of many sea beasts, the previously turbid seawater once again became clear.

Chen Qing also got a clear view of the true face of that Sea Clan member.

The upper half of her body was similar to a human’s, although there were minor differences, they did not mar her beauty at all.

However, the lower half of this breathtakingly beautiful woman was vastly different from that of humans.

It was composed of twisted tentacles, just like those of an octopus, but far more terrifying than any octopus.

Each tentacle was adorned with suckers that concealed sharp mouthparts.

All the Treasure Fish that had been killed were dragged under her by A Zhiqiu, and the massive sea beasts were instantly shredded by the mouthparts in the tentacles’ suckers.

A sea beast as large as a ship was devoured within a minute, leaving nothing behind, not even the bones.

Her speed was extremely fast, whether it was her feeding speed or her movement.

The Muscle Turtles watched nervously, they knew of this Sea Clan member!

She was like Chen Qing—no, Chen Qing was much kinder than her!

She, she, she must have noticed them!

The Muscle Turtle hiding behind Chen Qing desperately tugged at her clothes, trying to make her run away, as facing this woman head-on would result in a terrible end.

In their group, there was one that had encountered this Sea Clan member while delivering a message; it ended up having its limbs severed, its turtle shell broken, and it was left in the water waiting to die.

If it had not been for a passing Muscle Turtle that found it nearly breathless and covered in bite marks from a sea beast, it would have truly returned its soul to the deep sea.

Only, surviving wasn’t much better than returning its soul to the deep sea; it might have been better off dead.

"Aren’t you coming out yet? I have—seen you—"

A Zhiqiu, who had finished eating all the flesh and blood of the sea beasts, contentedly licked the bits of flesh and blood off her fingers that had accidentally been smeared, intentionally dragging out her voice with a malicious smile.

That appearance was vividly horrifying.

However, this great beauty was no delicate flower to be trifled with; she was undoubtedly terrifying.

She was the nightmare at the heart of seafaring humans.

At the same time, she was also the nightmare of the Sea Clan, as A Zhiqiu never hesitated to turn on her own kind.

She treated both humans and Sea Clan members with equal disregard.

The Muscle Turtles trembled in fear, yet they still maintained their fighting stance, with no intention of retreat whatsoever.

As afraid as they were, they still had a battle to fight.

To flee without a fight would bring them shame; they would become the laughingstock of the Hunter pirates!

The sea region was eerily silent, with no one responding to A Zhiqiu’s words.

She narrowed her eyes and shot out like a bullet; in the next second, she was before Chen Qing, eye to eye, face to face, their breath mingling.

"Found—you—"

A Zhiqiu stared into Chen Qing’s eyes, speaking deliberately, one word at a time.

The Muscle Turtles behind Chen Qing almost fainted, yet her expression remained unchanged.

A Zhiqiu watched Chen Qing, thinking she was like the others she’d encountered before, petrified with fear.

However... A Zhiqiu’s smile faded little by little, her face growing dark.

She realized that Chen Qing truly felt no fear at all; all the emotional responses she had anticipated were completely absent from Chen Qing.

This woman, horrifyingly calm.

Suddenly, Chen Qing reached out her hand.

"?"

A Zhiqiu tilted her head, looking at Chen Qing with curiosity, only to hear a crisp snapping sound.

And then...

"Bang—!!!"
