Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!-Chapter 563 - 353: A-rank Crack, World Catastrophe, Sea Coffin!_2
Wherever you looked, all you could see were immense glaciers and the vast ocean, with the temperature plummeting to a staggering negative thirty degrees—akin to soaking in icy water.
Everyone inevitably started a fire to keep warm.
"Achoo!"
Fen sneezed loudly, looking ahead, and muttered quietly:
"This is where the teacher sleeps."
"Your teacher really knows how to pick a spot for a snooze."
Chen Qi snarked, then continued to review the other hints for the A-Rank Sea Coffin.
[Nature: Ice, Cup
Clearing Conditions: Survive for over fifteen days. With every additional day survived, the reward doubles, up to 64 times.
Special Clearing Conditions: Reach the sanctuary built within the Sea Coffin, the Witch's Coffin, or other locations to find a hidden exit.]
Just as expected, this was an apocalypse survival crack... Chen Qi thought to himself.
The longer you survive, the higher the reward.
After fifteen days, with every additional day of survival, the rewards could double!
By the twentieth day, you could achieve an A-Rank evaluation for the crack.
It sounds tempting, but in reality, it's a potential trap. Once you survive past fifteen days, you immediately gain an 'Attract Sea Beast' BUFF, and with each passing day, a growing number of monsters will attack you!
By the twentieth day, you'll face over a hundred Legendary Rank monsters every day, among them various mechanically enhanced beasts and Fifth Rank Saint-level monsters!
Without Saint-level strength, aspiring to obtain an A-Rank evaluation for an A-Rank crack is simply courting death.
"I'm so hungry..."
At that moment, Mechanic Bree hugged her body tightly, pulling an apple out of her pocket.
"Don't eat anything cold!"
Chen Qi warned sternly.
"Huh?"
Bree looked down at the apple in her hand.
Under the influence of the cold, the apple in Bree's hand instantly solidified, turning into an ice sculpture, some kind of special toxic Transcendent poison.
"Any food dead for an hour, just one bite, and you'll die."
As a transmigrator, the Sea Coffin was the A-Rank crack he was most familiar with in the Witch Sea.
Chen Qi explained, then took out all the food from his backpack card and threw it away.
In the Sea Coffin, all edible food would rapidly mutate, thus becoming impossible to eat normally.
Furthermore, the coldness of this world quickly drains a person's physical strength by a percentage.
Even a Saint of the Cup Phase, as long as they have flesh and blood, will unavoidably feel hunger, unending hunger!
The normal vegetation of this world was long extinct.
Thus, as the background of the Sea Coffin narrated, in this world, the Sea Beasts and food covered in rotting pus blisters are the only sources of sustenance.
Even with ample preparation, one can easily starve to death.
This is why the Sea Coffin, compared to other cracks, has such a high level of difficulty.
However, in this sea, aside from 'full-body mechanization,' 'photosynthesis,' 'asceticism,' 'eating stones technique,' and other such rare personal unorthodox Skills, there are two particularly useful Skills.
First, the trade provided by Legendary Rank Merchants.
Trading is a Universal Skill that is possessed by nearly every Fourth Rank Merchant by profession, according to
Fourth Rank Merchants can open shops and trade necessary food with soul currency through them.
Unfortunately, most Fourth Rank Merchants can't specify a store brimming with food, and they must also ensure that the exchanged food is 'fresh.'
Like Jin Li, as a Mysterious Merchant, what refreshes in her store are all sorts of strange items, their uses unknown.
If it's a team operation, the most powerful support profession in this Sea Coffin would be the Pet Beast Merchants of the Cup Heart Phase, who can trade for delicious little roast pigs through their stores and cook suckling pigs during this glacial era.
Of course, most Beast Tamers, who prefer training their Pet Beasts, refuse to join this crack and have even established specialized Pig Protection Guilds in the game.
Second is the Universal Divine Skill—
Fishing!
In this frigid world,
[Crack Deformation Level: 75% (High deformation rate, this crack is much more dangerous than you can imagine. Its essence is another truly existing vast world, be very careful!)
Current Number of Players: 641
Inspiration Revelation: You see a half-white, half-blue-haired girl's corpse lying in an unfathomable coffin, opening her icy eyes and slowly opening her mouth, licking her tongue.
You know, she's hungry.
Inspiration Revelation (Special): You see the dark sails of the Black Whale ship drifting in the sea.

Inspiration Revelation (Special, Lamp Phase): In an obscure premonition, you see yourself alone, frantically pursued by a monster burning with blue flames!]
This...
Chen Qi couldn't help but clench his fists.
These three Inspiration Revelations all far exceeded his expectations.
Among them, the first Inspiration Revelation very well might be referring to their main objective this trip, the Ice Witch inside the Witch's Coffin!
Could it be that the Ice Witch wants to eat me?
Impossible, impossible! Chen Qi pondered more carefully. It must be due to the Ice Witch being too hungry after a long slumber.
With Fen present, the likelihood of being hunted as food by the Ice Witch was very low.
Second is the indication of the Black Whale sails.
It seems that the Black Whale Group has already reached the Sea Coffin and begun their operations.
Within this crack, they have special hints that allow checking on the surviving 'humans' at any time.
641 people, this number doesn't include the various strange entities of this world, but rather refers specifically to the adventurers who recently entered the crack.
Therefore, the number of members from the Black Whale Group who are part of this crack should be around 600 people.
