Chapter 11 Are you saying that we should return empty-handed?

The Blood Eye Wall watched everyone present, its gaze seeming to penetrate flesh and marrow, striking deep into the soul.

It was a kind of suffocating despair!

Even the Black-eyed Captain, who was over forty and had seen many great storms, couldn't help but retreat, retreat, and retreat some more!

Until the back of his head bumped solidly against the stone door.

In an instant, everyone held their breath, daring not to make even the slightest sound.

In the entire cave, only the sound of monsters hitting the stone door outside remained.

Little Crow was extremely nervous and began to incessantly bite his own nails.

An incomprehensible monster, definitely not an opponent...

The strongest in the team, the Black-eyed Captain, tightly gripped his knife, his strength capable of dictating the fate of everyone there.

But in just an instant, he deeply understood that his Black Blade couldn't shake this wall-like monster.

The treasure of the Legendary Deep Sea Hunter was not something these pirates could covet!

The Deep Sea's Blood Eye Wall, this had to be a world-class BOSS—Chen Qi was seeing such a giant creature for the first time, and his heart couldn't help but be shaken.

This level of monster was at least of the Transcendent Fourth Rank, a rank that could only be possessed by those significant figures and had a chance of victory.

However, to place the treasure under the Blood Eye Wall was in line with the legends described about the Deep Sea Hunter.

In the videos he had watched about the Deep Sea Hunter, this deceased Legendary Hunter wasn't someone skilled in mechanisms but was a pure-blooded killer.

To prove the Dao with blood, to break the law with power, that was his style.

Paired with the enlightenment entering the Crack, he probably understood everything.

In the distant past, the Deep Sea Hunter came to this Crack and placed one of his treasures beneath the wall.

At the same time, he drew a Crack on the ground with his blade, a warning line for the weak.

To cross this Crack Line meant to invite an attack from the Blood Eye Wall.

It was both a safety line for the weak and a Trial Line for the strong.

Everyone unanimously lowered their heads to look at the Crack drawn by the blade on the ground.

They seemed able to traverse time and space, feeling the words of the Legendary Deep Sea Hunter:

"Do you want my treasure? Then cross this line, and fight with the Blood Eye Wall!"

"Kill! Forward!"

Not one dared to move forward.

Now, they could only wait passively, waiting for the Blood Eye Wall to respond.

Gurgle, gurgle!

Suddenly, hundreds of blood eyes on the wall rolled fiercely, focusing the gaze on the direction of the stone door!

More precisely, on Chen Qi's direction.

Nearly a hundred blood-red eyeballs stared fixedly.

Chen Qi lifted his head to meet its gaze.

The purity of this Blood Eye Wall's Deep Sea Bloodline was far higher than the Deep Sea Toads outside.

Chen Qi didn't understand the Deep Sea language; he could only rely on instinct to understand this wall and feel its gaze.

The blood-red eyeballs kept rolling, those nearly a hundred gazes conveying a certain special ancient language.

It was a very simple ancient meaning:

"Hello."

No, to be precise, it carried a certain humility.

It should be said as "Greetings," more accurately, perhaps?

Greetings, interesting… Chen Qi felt a bit surprised and his lips moved slightly, no sound coming out.

Watching Chen Qi in a daze, Little Crow abruptly placed her hand under his arm and gave a fierce pinch!

"Stop thinking! Don't try to understand or feel it!"

Although there was no research to prove it, according to experience at sea, one must never try to understand the language of these ancient monsters.

At sea, there were many legends of deep sea monsters luring humans.

Ouch, ouch, that's the armpit!

Chen Qi never expected Little Crow to suddenly do this!

"Got it."

But sorry, I've already understood… Out of politeness, Chen Qi could only nod his head.

If he hadn't nodded, Little Crow might be directly squeezing much harder!

After conveying the meaning, the tentacles above the Blood Eye Wall slowly retracted, and the many eyes on the wall closed again.

Once again, they became like a wave-like carving pattern.

The Blood Eye Wall did not make any further moves.

No more attacks, no mental influences like those of Sea Demons.

It seemed to care not at all about the creatures beyond the Crack Line.

Opening its eyes had not been intended to instill fear in these creatures; it had merely been to greet Chen Qi.

A presence that doesn't attack humans on its own…

After some time, the people pressed against the stone wall sighed in relief.

"I was scared to death; I'd rather be swept high into the sky by the storm."

"I don't want to buy back my woman from the gang anymore; as long as I'm alive, even selling me to the gang works."

The people had narrowly escaped a great disaster, celebrating surviving one more day.

"Hello..."

Interesting… Chen Qi mused in his heart. His thoughts were numerous; he had just felt a very simple goodwill from the Blood Eye Wall.

He was almost certain that neither the ordinary Sea Beasts outside nor this giant monster in front of him would initiate an attack on him.

This was Deep Sea Affinity—

Chen Qi also took a deep breath, feeling once again the power of this gift.

Indeed, it was the gift of villainous BOSS monsters!

The treasure of the Deep Sea Hunter seemed not too difficult for him to obtain.

The treasure boxes atop the staircase, perhaps he needed only to take a few steps to reach them...

However, with his current strength, he couldn't go against the orders of Little Crow and the Black-eyed Captain.
