Carriage 28, corpses strewn all over!
The passengers’ blood had completely dyed the seawater red, which, smeared by the waves onto the carriage walls, turned this place into a slaughterhouse.
Splash!
The water surface broke, as a fat man stood up.
He was short and had a shaved head.
Underneath each of his ears, on both sides of his neck, there were six horizontal slits that resembled shark gills.
Lin Baici had seen this large-nosed young man in the waiting hall, now being gripped by the neck in his mouth.
The young man’s limbs were limp, his head drooping down; he must have been dead already.
The fat man fixed his gaze on Ma Yuan standing opposite him, grabbed the young man’s hair, and yanked forcefully, as if he were gnawing a bone stick with meat on it…
Rip!
The large-nosed young man’s head was torn off, a large chunk of flesh left in the fat man’s mouth.
Blood from the wound in his neck gushed out, splashing into the surrounding seawater.
“Jiuzhou Dragon Guard…”
The fat man glanced at the corpse in his hand and sneered with contempt, casually tossing it aside, “Is this all?”
“You’re asking for it!”
Enraged, Ma Yuan’s face turned beet red as he rapidly lunged at the fat man, but the seawater in the carriage greatly slowed him down.
“Haha!”
Laughing heartily, the fat man swam like a fish into the water and vanished from sight.
Ma Yuan was somewhat desperate.
He realized he had been careless.
His squad was responsible for tracking down the fat man, thinking they had gone unnoticed, but the enemy had been aware all along and used this train to lay a trap.
There was very little information about the fat man in Jiuzhou God Shield’s records; all they knew was his nickname in the Lost Coast, known as Black Shark Triton.
Now,
Ma Yuan understood why he was given that nickname!
The guy could breathe underwater and move incredibly fast, his combat power multiplying several times in the water.
If it were on land, not to mention a five-on-one fight from their squad, Ma Yuan himself had the confidence to have an even fight with Black Shark Triton.
However, in the water, his four dead teammates had said it all.
Ma Yuan had tried to breach the carriage to let the water out, but to no avail; this seawater was the rule contamination caused by taboo things.
Without locating the taboo things, there was no way to make the seawater disappear.
“I’ll find a way to take him out with me.”
Ma Yuan was prepared for the worst, but Black Shark Triton didn’t press the attack.
He reemerged, his expression grave as he looked towards the front of the train.
Why was the seawater receding?
Was something wrong with Little Maruko?
Black Shark Triton looked over his shoulder at Ma Yuan, torn with indecision.
Should he take advantage of the remaining seawater to kill this Jiuzhou Dragon Guard first, or should he go support Little Maruko?
Ma Yuan was no pushover; killing him would take a few minutes, minutes in which Little Maruko might die.
But if he didn’t do it now, once the seawater was gone, his own combat power would be greatly reduced.
Quickly, Black Shark Triton made a decision.
He dived into the water and swam as fast as he could toward the train’s head.
In the Lost Coast, he had always teamed up with Little Maruko because both of their Divine Graces related to water, creating an effect where 1+1>2.
That was a tactic they often used.
Little Maruko would stay hidden, using Coral Sea to fill a semi-enclosed environment with water while Black Shark Triton drew the enemy’s attention and led the offense.
The seawater battlefield doubled Black Shark Triton’s combat power.
Most enemies, realizing Black Shark Triton could breathe underwater, subconsciously assumed that he was the one who caused the seawater, and that killing him quickly would dispel the rule contamination.
Once an enemy thought that, they were as good as dead.
If Black Shark Triton could win, he would fight; if not, he would wear them down with guerrilla warfare until the enemy was nearly exhausted.
Then Little Maruko, who had been conserving strength, would join the battlefield as fresh reinforcement.
However, most of the time, Little Maruko didn’t need to take action.
Because when seawater filled the semi-enclosed battledome, anyone who couldn’t breathe in the water, even God Hunters, were sitting ducks.
With this tactic, Black Shark Triton had killed many powerful adversaries and had gained a formidable reputation among the dark hunters, even receiving an invitation to join from the leader of the Lost Coast.
But no one knew of Little Maruko’s exploits.
This was also a decision made after the two discussed.
That way, everyone would think that Black Shark Triton always acted alone, and upon seeing the encroaching seawater, they would conclude that killing him was their key to survival.
But today, there was an accident!
“What’s wrong with Little Maruko?
Before boarding the high-speed train, I had clearly confirmed that there was only Ma Yuan’s five-person Dragon Guard squad!”
Black Shark Triton’s face was grave.
By the time he reached Carriage 03, the water level had already dropped to the level of his calves.
He didn’t call out for Little Maruko but quickly scanned the carriage before looking towards Little Maruko’s seat.
Little Maruko was slumped over the desk, head bowed, looking like a pile of rotten flesh.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
Black Shark Triton, treading the water, hurried over.
“Little Maruko!” he cried out, his face showing extreme anxiety and concern, seemingly preoccupied with the safety of his companion.
But in reality, his nerves were stretched to the limit, and he was vigilantly on guard against his surroundings.
If something had happened to Little Maruko, the enemy could be lurking nearby, ready to ambush him!
Every passenger in this carriage was a suspect.
Despite being heavyset, Black Shark Triton was agile.
He dashed to the row 21 seats, saw the woman in her twenties, over 1.9 meters tall, wearing an ANTA tracksuit, and without thinking, swung the dagger in his hand towards her neck.
By virtue of its position, this spot next to Little Maruko was the most suitable for an ambush.
Better to kill wrongly than to miss an assailant.
Just as the female athlete’s head was about to be severed, a Muscle Buddha appeared behind Black Shark Triton.
Whoosh!
A heavy fist swung!
Sensing the strong wind coming from behind, Black Shark Triton pushed off with his feet, springing up like a flea, and with a roll, he dodged over the seats.
Boom!
Black Shark Triton landed in the aisle, also spotting the person who had ambushed them.
It was a Buddha statue wearing only a pair of shorts, its muscles knotted like snakes, veins and blue cords bulging so much so that even bodybuilders who have consumed protein powder since childhood could never achieve such a form.
“Taboo things?”
Black Shark Triton’s gaze sharpened, his face filled with deep wariness.
From that punch from Muscle Buddha just now, he sensed a tremendous threat; getting hit by it would mean either death or serious injury.
A God Hunter capable of possessing such a terrifying taboo thing was very likely a formidable opponent.
Damn it!
He hadn’t expected there to be another God Hunter on this train.
Black Shark Triton thought it was Octopus Ball’s bad luck, definitely having provoked the other party by triggering the Coral Sea, leading to a deadly fight.
“Sir, this is a misunderstanding, and I am willing to compensate you!”
Black Shark Triton spoke with respectful demeanor.
In reality, this was an act; his goal was to lure out the opponent, because even if he managed to take down this Buddha statue, there was no use in doing so if he couldn’t kill its owner.
“Compensation?”
A refreshing voice, like the sunshine of spring, rang out.
Black Shark Triton immediately turned his attention to it.
A young man, no, a high school-aged boy, stood up from seat 5B.
He was wearing a pair of jeans, a T-shirt, looking as ordinary as a freshman about to register at a university.
No!
He wasn’t ordinary.
Because this big guy was not only tall, but also handsome, with a charm capable of making rich old ladies wave their money around, eager to adopt him as their little pet wolf.
“Money is no object,” said Black Shark Triton, continuing to probe.
“But I just killed your comrade, is that it?”
Lin Baici’s lips curved with a smile, his body exuding the sunny disposition of a gentle guy-next-door, but his words were somewhat frightening.
[A tyrant of the waters, if you were in the water I would advise you to run away fast.
With such people, you either don’t provoke them at all or blow them out of the water the moment you do, you can’t let them become a lingering threat!]
Snap!
Lin Baici snapped his fingers.
Muscle Buddha immediately charged forward, closing in on Black Shark Triton.
“We can discuss anything!”
Not wanting to face off with brute force, Black Shark Triton retreated swiftly, but he had underestimated the speed of Muscle Buddha.
Taking just three steps, Muscle Buddha was right in front of Black Shark Triton, swinging his fists!
Ora ora ora!
The wind from the fists was so sharp it was like being slashed across the face.
“So strong!”
Black Shark Triton’s nerves were taut, eyes wide as he watched Muscle Buddha and the big guy in the distance, fearing any additional surprise moves.
But the next instant, from his left rear side, a black dagger, swift as lightning, tore through the air.
It was too close,
and too fast!
Under normal circumstances, Black Shark Triton might have just managed to dodge this dagger, but he was currently being restrained by Muscle Buddha, with most of his attention diverted, leaving him vulnerable.
Shhk!
The dagger plunged into Black Shark Triton’s left rib.
“We did it!”
Xia Hongyao was overjoyed, her right hand exerting force with the knife, intending to cleave open Black Shark Triton’s ribs and slice through his heart.
“Don’t be greedy for achievements!”
Lin Baici shouted.
Black Shark Triton turned around, his machete aiming for Xia Hongyao’s head.
Xia Hongyao had to dodge; otherwise, even if she succeeded in stabbing Black Shark Triton to death, she would also be left with life-threatening injuries.
Boom!
Muscle Buddha struck Black Shark Triton.
Black Shark Triton used the momentum to roll away like a kicked ball.
After tumbling a few times, he stood up again.
“Little Bai, we’ve succeeded!”
Xia Hongyao’s face shone with joy.
Right after stopping the train, Xia Hongyao urged Lin Baici to hurry and find Octopus Ball’s companion, but he stopped her.
Lin Baici said that first of all, rushing over so hastily would waste energy, and there was a high chance of falling into a trap, allowing the enemy to wait at their leisure. frёewebηovel.cѳm
It was better to stay behind and set an ambush.
Lin Baici reasoned that judging from the name Black Shark Triton, his Divine Grace had to be related to seawater.
Even if he didn’t care about Octopus Ball’s life, he would undoubtedly care about the ‘Coral Sea’ taboo object, so there was a high likelihood he would come to retrieve it.
As it turned out, Lin Baici’s guess was right on the mark.
Then they both returned to this train car.
Xia Hongyao wanted to sit near Octopus Ball, thinking this spot was ideal for an ambush, but was once again stopped by Lin Baici.
His reasoning was that a member of a terrifying organization like Black Shark Triton would be ruthless.
Whether out of caution or anger at a comrade’s death, there was a high chance he would first kill anyone near Octopus Ball.
The result proved once more that Lin Baici was correct.
Had he not intervened in time, the tall female athlete sitting next to Octopus Ball would have been killed.
Tsk!
I really do admire his intellect.
I absolutely have to recruit him into Jiuzhou God Shield, to be a member of my team!
Xia Hongyao considered that with Lin Baici’s addition, she was at least one-tenth of the way towards her goal of establishing the strongest hunter team in the Nine States.
