LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 257: The Real Monster_2
Moreover, Chen Qi's plan, although seemingly perfect, still concealed numerous dangers, the first being the threat of the Snake Father.
Although Chen Qi was a Lamp Keeper, as a novice Transcendent, he was no match for the Snake Father.
Once he sent the coordinates, he was very likely to face the threat of the Snake Father.
Second, in the seas near the Sea of Calamity and during the nights under the Smiling Moon, there would be severe signal interference...
That is to say, even with a communication card and a locator card, they could not arrive immediately.
This was an extremely dangerous action...
Of course, the most endangered person was only one, not the White Tower Hunters, but Chen Qi aboard the Snake Father.
Yes, the truly dangerous person was Chen Qi right in front of them!
Melanie and the others stopped their busy thoughts, and they seemed to finally understand why Chen Qi had come to find the White Tower Hunters?
Why was he so anxious?
This was his way of pleading for help... Melanie couldn't help but make assumptions.
However, she also greatly admired Chen Qi's courage.
A freshly promoted Transcendent, daring to attack Snake Father, a veteran of Sea God Island, required tremendous courage.
People looked at each other and nodded.
As the captain, Melanie also walked up to Chen Qi and placed her right hand on Chen Qi's shoulder:
"Courageous! Lamp Keeper, rest assured, we will definitely protect you on this journey!"
Protection, had these people misunderstood something... Chen Qi couldn't help but show a speechless expression.
However, regardless, the goal of the White Tower Hunters was aligned with his.
"Pleasant cooperation, and by the way, the tea tastes quite nice~"
After discussing, Chen Qi waved his hand and left the library.

...
The next day, Sea God Island, early morning
A heavy fog and dark clouds made the entire Sea God Island dreary and gloomy, as if a massive storm was about to occur.
And on the broken path, cold light sprinkled down, the pirates looked gloomy, and paired with their scarred bodies and the blood-stained weapons in their hands, they appeared exceptionally sinister.
After instructing the first mate Water Elf No.3, Chen Qi then headed to the tavern to buy a cup of honey wine, afterwards to the restaurant to buy a smoked meat burger, and then to the big white dove to buy a new newspaper.
Finally, Chen Qi spent 200 Contribution Points to purchase two 'Lamp Dice Phase' divination coins.
This was one of the few good things he got from touring the bar's exchange store.
The divination coins, featuring a gambler's head on one side and dice on the other, were items used for divination.
However, the use of these coins had very strict conditions; aside from those who were not in the Lamp Phase, the probability of accurately using these coins reduced dramatically.
Moreover, divination was just divination, this regular Lamp Dice Phase item only had an 80% accuracy rate, and it would not provide specific answers, only some vague judgments...
Beyond that, it could not divine major events, nor things unrelated to oneself...
All in all, it was a very limited item.
Chen Qi fiddled with the coin in his hands while holding the newspaper in one hand and reading about various news from the Witch Sea.
Recently, the Witch Sea was bursting with news, from the Shadow Tide Night to B-grade cracks appearing in various places; the situation in the entire Witch Sea was extremely dangerous.
Of course, the news most abundant on Sea God Island still involved Bonfire Energy Company, the navy, and the Sea God Pirate Group.
Bonfire Energy Company and the navy had consecutively destroyed dozens of ships from the Sea God Pirate Group... Chen Qi was secretly surprised, speculating internally.
It seemed that Bonfire Energy Company also knew that the Sea God Pirate Group had an island within the Sea of Calamity where they could mine Deep Blue Fire.
And in order to find this island, on the path from Sea God Island to the Sea of Calamity, the navy and Sea God Island set up a lot of patrol boats.
Indeed, the Witch Sea after the Smiling Moon wasn't peaceful... Unknowingly, Chen Qi had already walked to the dock.
And opposite him was the sea-green Snake Father, against the grim backdrop of dark clouds, the entire Snake Father appeared even more menacing.
And on the deck, a pirate from the Snake Father coldly said to Chen Qi:
"Come aboard, the ship is about to depart."
"Okay!"
Chen Qi pinched the divination coin between his fingers, silently praying:
"Great God of Fortune, God of the twenty-sided dice, please grant your servant favor and answer me, is my upcoming sea voyage good or bad?"
As he spoke, Chen Qi gently flicked the divination coin into the air.
At that moment, a special notification appeared before his eyes.
[You have triggered the Lamp Principle, increasing the accuracy of your divination.]
The Lamp Principle, such a phenomenon existed... Chen Qi silently looked towards the result on the coin.
The gambler's head, the result was good on the face...
Good news!
At that moment, a notification popped up before Chen Qi.
[You have triggered the Lamp Principle, and amidst the grey mist, a fist from the darkness struck, hitting your abdomen hard...]
Chen Qi involuntarily closed his eyes, experiencing the mental imagery.
In that instant, he seemed to see himself being punched and thrown into the deep sea, bloodied and causing huge waves in a terrifying scene...
"This is..."
Chen Qi opened his eyes, regaining consciousness.
Was I hit? Why?
That shouldn't be, the result was good, so why was I hit, and why was it a brutal beating that caused serious injury... Chen Qi fell into a dilemma.

And the predictive imagery in his mind was too vague; he couldn't guess who beat him based on the imagery.
Could it be that I will fall into a fierce battle with the Snake Father... Chen Qi thought to himself, silently looking up at the deck above, gazing at Snake Father.
