149: Enemy Ambush

Although the Sea Spirit was crucial,

Shui Yuqianxi didn't forget the beef she had just bought at a high price.

Following the Sea Spirit Record's perception, she approached the Sea Spirit's location.

Only then did she find the Sea Spirit in the seafood section!

Crab.

I found you!

Shui Yuqianxi looked at the Emperor Crab in front of her and took out the Sea Spirit Record.

The Sea Spirit Record automatically flipped to the Crab's page.

The Crab possesses giant pincers with super strong grip, which can increase the holder's grip, imbue armor with extreme destructive power, and increase the destructive power of the other Sea Beast during fusion.

Please do not use armor; simply rescue this Crab head-on to recover the card.

Snap!

Closing the Sea Spirit Record in her hand, Shui Yuqianxi looked at the Emperor Crab in front of her, bound by zip ties.

Its enormous pincers were also restrained by zip ties.

Like crocodiles, which have powerful biting force but relatively weak opening force, this Crab's pincers, though possessing terrifying grip strength,

were now bound by a zip tie and utterly unable to open.

As a Sea Spirit, it was quite humiliating.

However, the power of this card primarily lies in completing armor fusion.

It can enhance the power of the other Sea Beast in the fused armor.

Its uses are very broad.

As for the recovery condition, rescuing this Emperor Crab,

compared to other Sea Spirits, this recovery condition didn't seem too difficult.

Just saving it would suffice.

"Boss, how much is this Emperor Crab?"

"This is a rare big one, flat price, 2800!"

"..."

The veins on Shui Yuqianxi's hand, holding her wallet, bulged.

Meanwhile, the Emperor Crab just silently blew bubbles in the tank in front of her.

"...It's transferred."

Salary -2800.

The boss, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, scooped out the Emperor Crab.

Then he put it in a box, smiling amiably as he spoke.

"Miss, where do you live? Do you need me to find someone to drive it over for you?"

"No need."

"Alright then."

The boss packed the Emperor Crab into a foam box and handed it to Shui Yuqianxi.

Shui Yuqianxi picked up the foam box and walked out of the seafood section.

Logically, it should have been rescued by now, right?

Why was the Sea Spirit Record completely unresponsive?

Could it be that 'rescue' meant... she also had to release it into the sea?

Damn it, that was two thousand eight!

"Stop!"

Two tall figures suddenly blocked Shui Yuqianxi's path.

Shui Yuqianxi looked up.

The two tall figures looked down at Shui Yuqianxi.

"Please cooperate and let us search the items inside the box."

"Someone reported that valuable items were stolen from this market."

Shui Yuqianxi sensed something was wrong.

She quickly took a step back, hugging the box tightly.

The figures in front of her seemed to make no attempt to conceal their purpose, quickly blocking Shui Yuqianxi from both sides. One person reached out to grab the box in front of Shui Yuqianxi.

The other person directly pulled out a rectangular taser.

'They're after the card!'

'No, they're after me!'

Shui Yuqianxi's gaze swept over the two, and she quickly made a judgment.

These two policemen were people sent by the Shui Yu family.

The Shui Yu family was one of the largest financial groups on Nanwan Island, with a history of over three hundred years.

Its relationships with other forces on Nanwan Island were intricate and complex, weaving together a network that enveloped the entire Nanwan Island.

The public security, education, media, and politics of the entire Nanwan Island were all manipulated by this network.

"Be honest!"

The man behind her growled, then pressed the taser towards Shui Yuqianxi's neck.

Shui Yuqianxi quickly ducked, evading the taser, and simultaneously created distance.

The two men missed but didn't show much surprise.

Instead, they both pulled out collapsible batons and stared intently at Shui Yuqianxi.

"Annoying guys."

"I didn't want to have anything to do with you anymore."

Shui Yuqianxi really didn't want to be involved with the Shui Yu family at all.

Even though her job and accommodation were secretly messed up by the Shui Yu family, she didn't feel much anger.

She was quite indifferent.

As for why she didn't change her surname and continued to use Water Yu as her surname,

her "Water Yu" was not the Water Yu of the Shui Yu family.

Although they shared the same surname, they were completely different.

The "Water Yu" family should have originally been the "Yu" family, a branch of "Water Yu."

"Water Yu" was the ancient nobility of Nanwan Island, with an even longer history.

It could be traced back to ancient officials dispatched to Nanwan Island to manage the sea area.

Three hundred years ago, it declined, and the Yu family branch, with the help of external forces, invaded the Shui Yu family that resisted foreign forces.

And initiated a massacre of their compatriots on Nanwan Island, targeting the Shui Yu family and the entire Nanwan Island.

Then they changed their surname to "Water Yu," replacing the "Water Yu" family.

The current "Water Yu" family has still not escaped that foreign force.

Various industries under the "Water Yu" family require large injections of foreign capital.

As for why they wanted to capture her back,

Shui Yuqianxi didn't want to explain.

"Swish!"

The two men didn't waste any more words, swinging their batons at Shui Yuqianxi.

Shui Yuqianxi, holding the box, easily dodged by turning sideways.

At the same time, she suddenly felt a current run through her skin.

She unhesitatingly removed the 200kg weight she was carrying.

The sudden burst of speed made her seem to vanish, disappearing under the gaze of the two men.

Simultaneously, a tranquilizer dart shot into the ground where she had originally stood.

"This, how is this possible?!"

The man who had secretly set up a tranquilizer gun behind the curtain not far away raised his head in disbelief.

He then quickly lowered his head, sweat beading on his forehead, searching for Shui Yuqianxi's whereabouts.

"Report, target evaded the tranquilizer gun's shot!"

"Repeat, target evaded the tranquilizer gun's shot!"

The Sniper quickly searched for the target again.

And a murmur came from the walkie-talkie.

"That's right, that's right."

"This woman is indeed the most special."

The Sniper finally found Shui Yuqianxi in his scope, and he was about to fire the tranquilizer gun again.

But he found that Shui Yuqianxi's gaze had already turned towards his position.

Under that gaze, he felt his scalp tighten, and his body involuntarily put away the gun, pulled the curtain shut, and leaned against the wall.

At this moment, his body was drenched in sweat.

What exactly was he shooting at?

"Why aren't you continuing to shoot?!"

"Report, my position has been discovered. Requesting immediate change of gathering point."

"Change your mother! It's just a little girl, keep shooting!"

The Sniper gritted his teeth.

He didn't have the guts to disobey the Shui Yu family's orders; he might be thrown into the sea to feed the fish tomorrow.

He could only pull open a slit in the curtain again and set up his Sniper rifle.

However, within the scope, Shui Yuqianxi's trace was once again lost.

Only the two men lay motionless on the ground.

His pupils constricted, and he quickly tried to retract his gun.

But a cold sensation had already pressed against the back of his neck.

Then a cold voice came.

"I found you."

In an instant, cold sweat flowed all over his body as if a floodgate had opened, and his body felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.
