161: Chaotic subway station

“It’s a monster!”

“Run!”

“Don’t push, damn it, stop pushing!”

“Let me out first!”

East Bay City Metro Line 3, Pulin Station.

People leaving work were crowded together, desperately trying to squeeze out of the subway exit.

The escalators and passages were packed with people.

In the crush of people, some even had their feet lifted off the ground, carried along by the human tide, unable to move!

A monstrous beast, with grotesque muscles and coarse hair, resembling a super savage, roared as it continuously destroyed everything around it.

The entire subway system was in chaos.

“Wait, my sister is still there!”

“Don’t push me, let me go back!”

An adult woman, carried along by the crowd, shouted.

But in this situation, everyone was focused on getting out of there, so how could they pay attention to a woman’s cries?

“Sister, save me!”

“Sister!!”

Not far from the monster, a girl with a cast and crutches cried out in terror.

She was eventually knocked to the ground by the terrified crowd, and her crutches fell with her.

She struggled to get up, but her crutches, which had fallen to the ground, were kicked even further away by the crowd.

She cried in despair, continuously calling out “Sister” and “Mom.”

However, such cries instead attracted the monster, which was venting its rage and bestiality everywhere.

The monster’s inhuman eyes scanned around, clearly locking onto the crying girl on the ground.

Perhaps the girl’s cries stirred compassion in someone.

Or perhaps the young girl truly encountered a rare kind person.

A young man, probably in his early twenties, gritted his teeth, stopped running, and rushed towards the girl.

“Quickly, hold onto me!”

He rushed towards the young girl, bent down, and quickly helped her up.

He didn't bother picking up the crutches on the ground, instead draping the girl’s arm over his shoulder, supporting her as he rushed towards the stairs packed with people.

“Thank you! Big Brother!”

“When I grow up, I’ll definitely marry you to repay your kindness, be your ox and horse, and serve you for my entire life, boohoohoo!!”

The crying girl, with snot and tears, clung stickily to the young man’s suit jacket on his shoulder, expressing her gratitude beyond measure.

“Stop talking nonsense!”

The man regretted it a little after helping her up.

The young girl had difficulty with her legs, and the monster behind them had locked onto this unfortunate girl with a broken leg, charging towards them.

The distance grew shorter and shorter!

“Ahhh, it’s catching up!”

“Don’t leave me, I promise I’ll marry you when I grow up and support you for life, ahhh!”

The young girl cried in terror, clutching the man’s arm tighter and tighter!

She seemed afraid that the man would abandon her.

The man was so constricted he couldn't breathe, truly wondering where this unfortunate girl with a broken leg got so much strength.

“Roar!”

The monster roared as it charged, directly breaking a pillar and smashing it towards the man and the girl!

The girl screamed in terror, her porcelain-doll-like face completely devoid of any ladylike composure.

Seeing this, the man, at that moment, somehow found strength he didn't know he had.

He actually carried the girl, awkwardly lunging sideways to dodge the monster’s claws, and fell heavily to the ground.

“Big Brother, you should leave me and run!”

“I can’t drag you down, boohoohoo!”

The girl seemed to realize she was burdening her kind benefactor and spoke tearfully.

However, her grip instinctively tightened, showing no intention of letting go.

The man’s neck turned red from the constriction.

Meanwhile, the monster agilely turned its massive body, opening one giant hand into a palm, and slammed it heavily towards the man.

In an instant, the wind pressure created by the monster’s palm made it impossible for the man to open his eyes.

He could only desperately move his body, shrinking backward.

Perhaps it was good fortune, or that his life was not meant to end.

Or perhaps his ancestors had spent centuries of savings, greasing palms in the underworld.

He actually managed to dodge the monster’s attack again, just barely.

The descending giant palm grazed his spread legs and crotch, slamming heavily onto the tile!

In an instant, the tiles shattered, and the ground cracked!

His breathing almost stopped.

No.

It wasn’t just that his breathing almost stopped; his neck was indeed constricted, making it impossible to breathe.

The monster, filled with bestiality and devoid of reason,

Discovered that its two attacks had both been dodged by this human in front of it, and its surging bestiality could no longer be contained.

It raised both hands, tearing through the air from both sides, and slammed them towards the man’s head.

It seemed as if it wanted to smash the man’s head like a watermelon.

The man’s eyes widened.

He never imagined that on a normal workday after getting off work, his life would end here.

At this moment, he didn't regret saving the girl much.

After all, he was an adult; even if it was a good deed, staking his life meant he had to be responsible for his actions, and he couldn’t blame anyone else.

Just at this critical moment, the man felt a blue light flash before his eyes.

It was the phantom of a sword-like Fish Marker, streaking past at high speed, striking the monster’s arms and deflecting its attack.

“To appear in such a densely populated area.”

“It seems my investigation was not mistaken; you are indeed a monster in disguise.”

“Click, click.”

“Sea Spirit, combine.”

A female voice appeared, accompanied by two crisp sounds.

The still-shaken man and girl both looked in the direction of the voice.

Then they saw a figure enveloped in a stream of water.

Within the water, two cards transformed into the phantom images of Orcas and Fish Marker, two Sea Beasts, rising with the water and merging with it to form armor.

The right shoulder armor was a metallic Orcas.

And the left shoulder armor consisted of sharp, streamlined metallic fins.

Calling them fins was less accurate; their form was closer to a streamlined blade edge.

[Sea Spirit Armor · Orcas Fish Marker Combination!]

“Big Brother, look!”

“It’s the Sea Spirit Armor, and it’s a new form, Orcas + Fish Marker!”

Although the girl’s face was still smeared with tears, her fear had turned into relief.

She excitedly pointed at Shui Yuqianxi’s location, looking as if she had just seen an idol.

The man was also quite excited at this moment, after all, the Sea Spirit Armor had always been active on Nanwan Island.

The people of Nanwan Island naturally loved and felt the most belonging to the Sea Spirit.

“Roar! Roar!!”

Its attack interrupted and its arm injured, the monster became even more enraged.

It turned its body, looking furiously at Shui Yuqianxi.

This hateful woman, after tracking it for so long, still wouldn't let it go?!

Did she really want to fight to the death with it?!

“Roar! Roar!!”

The furious roar became even more rapid; it turned its body sideways, using its shoulder as a ram, taking continuous steps, and charging towards Shui Yuqianxi!

Shui Yuqianxi clenched her fist, the power of both Sea Beasts simultaneously surged into her arms, and the Basic Breathing Technique circulated.

Bang!!
