NOVEL NEXT Chapter 312: The Witch's Mysterious Plan
Nearshore Dominator's scales had gaps continuously oozing blood droplets, and its bell-like dragon eyes were filled with a murderous intent, as it was determined to devour the impudent creatures before it.
"Roar!"
Nearshore Dominator let out the fierce roar of a beast, venting its rage upon the vast ocean.
The scalding, blood-red aura painted the sea before them, causing the gambler Loren and Grey Mouse to step back. This was their first time on Witch Sea witnessing someone controlling a Sea Dragon, especially the extremely ferocious Nearshore Dominator!
It seemed to have grown taller... Chen Qi crouched down, touching the sharp and hard scales of Nearshore Dominator.
In just one day, the Transcendent items in Dragon Tamer King's backpack card had enhanced Nearshore Dominator more than he had imagined.
And this was just from a single Blood King Snake's Heart.
If it could digest all the items, Nearshore Dominator might possess the formidable strength akin to Black Light Dragon.
On the vast ocean, Chen Qi's Deep Sea Perception allowed him to sense the direction of everyone's Spiritual Power above the sea. On Loren's back, he could feel an intense Lamp Phase item.
Chen Qi shifted his gaze away from the gambler Loren, and before leaving, he looked towards An on the dock.
An, holding her chest, her hunter-like blue eyes, stared intently at him.
Next time they met, he would have to stop An by any means... Chen Qi snapped his fingers.
The massive figure of Nearshore Dominator plunged into the sea, disappearing into the vast expanse of water.
People on the dock stared in shock at this terrifying scene; without the navy's support, none dared to venture forward or even shout loudly.
Only when the blood aura on the sea's surface dissipated did people dare to speak, recovering from their fright.
"Unprepared."
The gambler twirled his revolver in hand, then tucked it back into its holster.
As one of this operation's leaders, he had not expected that they could capture Black Hunter at the first attempt.
"We missed an opportunity."
Gambler Loren walked back to the shore, concluding.
An reached out to brush disordered white hair from her eyes,
"He hasn't used 'release' yet."
Not even forcing the other's release made this encirclement remotely an "opportunity."
Gambler Loren furrowed his eyebrows, his face pinched with worry,
"It's unfortunate, if our luck had been good enough, our contact in the navy should have arrived earlier; with their help, even with his special Sea Dragon, we could have completely surrounded him."
He then forced a smile,
"Still, An, you managed to obtain Black Hunter's blood."
An lowered her head, looking at the blood in her hand.
Though it was just a little, it was enough for the next track.
To defeat Black Hunter, one must step into a new realm... An felt the surging energy in her body.
In this battle with Black Hunter, she could feel herself skirting the edge of danger, becoming more proficient in manipulating Spiritual Power.

She had a faint feeling that even if she wasn't Transcendent, she was touching upon a brand-new realm.
Either they would be completely wiped out, or Black Hunter would fall into their hands.
An circulated her Spiritual Power, carefully sealing the two drops of blood.
Loren once again took out his mirror, carefully caressing it,
"This mirror is borrowed, according to the original owner's instructions, we can't use it more than once a day, and there must be a 'participant' to bear the mirror's curse, otherwise..."
Loren's mouth curled into a helpless smile.
"Borrowed..."
Grey Mouse repeated this, breaking into a cold sweat.
The rank of this mirror could very possibly be Grade B Crack, S-tier loot, or even a seal from a Grade A Crack.
At Shell Country Meteorological Bureau, using such high-level items required the agreement of the three highest-ranking investigators and the Shell Country Imperial City's Forbidden Items Management Bureau.
Additionally, if such an item were lost, it would immediately alert Shell Country's Debt Collectors, the retrievers.
Such a precious item should not have appeared in hands of mere hunters!
Grey Mouse cautiously inquired,
"If we lose this mirror, how would the owner deal with us?"
"Mmm..."
Gambler Loren's expression shifted slightly; his thin and lifeless face suddenly shone with excitement and brilliance,
"No, she probably won't be angry, probably not, she isn't the kind of person who frets over such things. However, her companions might care."
After speaking, Gambler Loren gazed out towards the distant sea, whisper-whispered,
"This is a high-stakes gamble."
"High-stakes gamble..."
The five people behind Gambler Loren glanced at his silhouette.
They fell into a brief silence, feeling an uneasy premonition that if they couldn't catch Black Hunter, the consequences would be unimaginable.
An shook her head and quickly walked onto the dock.
Black Hunter could tame the Nearshore Dominator, and his Spirit Power Field was already ample... An stood on the dock, letting the sea breeze blow through her hair.
Unconsciously, she remembered the Ice Witch's prophecy that when the tide comes, the deep sea humanoid monsters will descend upon this world.
Missing even one would cause unforeseen, catastrophic disaster.
The monsters must die.
"Perhaps, the next time, will be my only chance in this lifetime..."
An looked towards the distant waves, clenching her hands.

Near the great maelstrom, the habitat of the Lamp Moon Sea Dragon.
