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

The Wall of Blood Eyes watched everyone present, its gaze seemingly piercing through flesh and bone, straight to the soul and marrow within.

It was a suffocating sense of despair!

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

Until the back of his head hit the stone door solidly.

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

In the entire cavern, only the sound of the monster outside striking the stone door could be heard.

Little Raven was extremely nervous, incessantly biting his nails.

A monster beyond understanding, definitely not an opponent...

The strongest among them, the Black-eyed Captain, gripped his Blade tightly; his strength could dominate the fate of everyone present.

But in just a moment, he deeply understood that his black Blade could not shake this wall-like monster.

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

The Blood Eye Wall of the deep sea, that was at least a world-class BOSS—Chen Qi's first time seeing such a giant creature, he couldn't help but be shocked.

A monster of this level must be at least Transcendent Fourth Rank, a rank that only the big figures possessed, to have a chance of defeating it.

But placing the treasure beneath the Wall of Blood Eyes did fit the description of the Deep Sea Hunter in the legends.

In the videos about the Deep Sea Hunter that he had come across, this deceased legendary Hunter was not a man adept at mechanisms but a pure slayer, a Hunter.

To prove himself with blood, to break laws with force, was his style.

Paired with the enlightenment he received upon entering the crack, he probably understood everything.

In the distant past, the Deep Sea Hunter came to this crack and put 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.

Those who crossed this line of the crack would be attacked by the Wall of Blood Eyes.

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

Everyone instinctively lowered their heads, looking at the crack carved by the Blade on the ground.

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

"Want my treasure? Then cross this line and battle with the Wall of Blood Eyes!"

"Kill! Charge forward!"

Not a single person dared to move forward.

Now, they could only passively wait for the Wall of Blood Eyes to respond.

Gurgle, gurgle!

Suddenly, the hundreds of eyes on the wall rolled violently, directing their gaze toward the direction of the stone door!

To be exact, the direction of these gazes was toward Chen Qi.

Nearly a hundred blood-red eyeballs stared fixedly.

Chen Qi lifted his head to meet their gaze.

The bloodline purity of the deep sea in this Wall of Blood Eyes was far higher than that of the deep-sea toads outside.

Chen Qi didn't understand the language of the deep sea; he could only rely on instinct to understand the wall, to feel its gaze.

The blood-red eyeballs continued to roll, those nearly a hundred gazes conveying some kind of special ancient language.

It was an extremely simple ancient meaning:

"Hello."

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

Should it be more accurately, "Greetings to you"?

Interesting, Chen Qi had a hint of surprise, his lips moved slightly, without making any sound.

Seeing Chen Qi's distracted expression, Little Raven abruptly placed her hand under his armpit and gave it a fierce pinch, her grip harsh!

"Stop thinking! Don't try to understand it, and don't try to feel it!"

Although there is no research to prove it, based on the experience of the open sea, one should never try to understand the language of these ancient creatures.

There are many legends of deep-sea creatures enticing humans in the vast ocean.

Ow, ow, ow! That's the armpit!

Chen Qi never expected that Little Raven would suddenly do such a thing to him!

"Got it."

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

If he didn't nod, Little Raven might pinch an even harsher spot!

After conveying its meaning, the tentacles above the dome of the Wall of Blood Eyes slowly retracted, and the multitude of eyes on the wall closed once again.

Returning to a wave-like pattern of carvings.

The Wall of Blood Eyes made no further movement.

There was no more aggressive action, nor any psychic influences akin to a siren's song.

It seemed utterly unconcerned with the creatures outside of the line of the crack.

The purpose of opening its eyes was not to instill fear in these creatures, but merely to greet Chen Qi.

An existence that didn't actively attack humans...

After a long while, the people squeezed against the stone wall finally exhaled deeply.

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

"I won't go to the gang to buy back my woman anymore, I just want to be alive; even if they sell me to the gang, it's fine."

The people, having narrowly escaped a catastrophe, celebrated the fact that they were still alive.

"Hello..."

Interesting... Chen Qi muttered to himself, his thoughts abundant. He had just felt a very simple goodwill from the Wall of Blood Eyes.

He was almost certain that neither the common Sea Beasts outside nor this enormous monster in front of him would launch an attack on him.

This was Deep Sea Affinity—

Chen Qi also took a deep breath, feeling the strength of this innate ability once again.

It was indeed a gift fit for villainous BOSS monsters!

This treasure of the Deep Sea Hunter was not so difficult for him to obtain.

The treasure chest on the steps might be his if he took just a few steps forward...

However, with his current strength, it was impossible to act against the commands of Little Raven and the Black-eyed Captain.
