Master of Kaidan-Chapter 480: Searching for the Monkey

"Boom!"

A violent explosion sounded, accompanied by a strong shaking sensation. Perhaps the other party’s Concealment abilities were too outstanding, or perhaps the attack simply hadn’t reached the intensity needed to trigger Feng Xue’s sense of crisis. In any case, it wasn’t until the moment before the attack actually hit that Feng Xue finally realized she had been locked on.

Inside the display of the Masked Rider Armor, a slightly distorted image began to appear, and Feng Xue finally caught sight of the attacker.

It was a ’submarine’ that looked rather strange. Instead of the usual teardrop shape, it resembled more of a weaver’s shuttle, but with stabilizing tail fins at the rear and, at the front, something normal submarines would never carry... a ram that made it look like a pointed torpedo. Okay, it looked like a pointed torpedo, but Feng Xue didn’t think it was a torpedo because it had two long mechanical arms, and hanging from its lower belly were two things that looked even more like torpedoes—

Alright, maybe three, because one had exploded previously.

"This thing... don’t tell me this is the Shrimp Soldier?"

Looking at the submarine which looked somewhat like a shrimp, Feng Xue involuntarily produced a pack of salt in her hand, which immediately compressed into a small ball under the intense pressure of the deep sea. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"Tsck." Feng Xue sighed lightly and forcefully threw the salt ball towards the "Shrimp Soldier," but under the deep sea pressure, even with the multi-enhanced Masked Rider Armor that allowed her to flick open a 300-stone Strong Bow with her pinky, the salt ball quickly lost its kinetic energy and failed to even touch the submarine.

However, this seemingly ineffective attack seemed to trigger some mechanism. The display screen suddenly showed a large amount of difficult-to-parse static on the body of the Shrimp Soldier, and then the sound collection device immediately picked up a lot of propeller noise.

"Fuck!"

Feng Xue’s mouth split open as she pressed down on the Transformation Device’s lever, and with a choice of consciousness, a dull sound effect echoed through the ocean—

"Deep Sea Submarine Mode!"

As the sound arose, the phantom image of an orca immediately appeared behind him. Although the light effects of the All Things Squeezing Driver had no actual lethal power, the Kaidan and Companion Phantom Object inherent in Feng Xue’s Masked Rider still endowed him with enough idealistic effects.

Riding on the phantom orca, Feng Xue flew forward with a standard Knight Kick pose and shattered the shrimp-shaped submarine that had initially attacked her. Listening to the somewhat muffled explosion in the sea, Feng Xue’s body continued to surge forward, and the 3D model in front of her was simultaneously being constructed on her display.

Behind him, a multitude of propeller noises were catching up, but after activating the Submarine Mode, his Speed had clearly surpassed the group of Shrimp Soldiers. Although this advantage in speed did not last long, the sonar soon picked up a new enemy—

A giant crab.

To be precise, a crab-shaped robot equipped with heavy torpedoes, deep-water bombs, and two working arms fitted with thick saw blades.

"I’ve cracked it, this must be the Crab General, right? Where’s the Patrol Sea Yaksha? The Dragon Prince? The Turtle Minister? I can’t wait anymore, bring them all on!"

As Feng Xue continued with her Sarcasm and piloted the Deep Sea Submarine Mode forward, throwing out one salt ball after another, if one had deep-sea vision, they would surely witness an extremely bizarre scene—

Although it sounds bizarre, the scene was like watching a ghost orca continuously dragging a white spherical poop...

Luckily, this grotesque style did not last long. As they continued to charge forward, the original 3D modeling was finally replaced by light. When they came very close, a luminescent body shielded by a bowl-shaped hemispherical barrier appeared on the monitor.

Just...

"This doesn’t look like a palace at all!"

How could Feng Xue describe the structure before her?

If it had to be said, calling it a structure was already giving it too much credit.

The shape of the thing looked just like a mechanized termite mound. Those chimney-like columns had no aesthetic appeal at all and stood sporadically within the translucent barrier like tombstones at the bottom of the ocean, emitting a faint blue ghostly light.

In the variously sized passages, mechanical robots of all sorts intermittently emerged; Feng Xue could see two hemispherical structures continuously engaging in what seemed to be either installation or disassembly tasks, clam-shaped robots; a platform-equipped tortoise-shaped robot carrying modular structures; and a sea cucumber-shaped robot that resembled a mechanical cucumber ceaselessly ingesting and ejecting a white, soft material to clean the mechanical exterior...

The various mimicry marine creature robots each had their roles, but the complex organizational structure they operated was for something that, however one looked at it, did not align with human aesthetic standards. If anything was remotely remarkable, it had to be the two "Heaven Piercing Horns" that almost stretched out of the barrier, positioned at the very top of this "Dragon Palace."

"Is this thing the Dragon Palace or an underwater arsenal under the Dragon Palace?"

Feng Xue gathered her composure, only for the sound of propellers to reach her ears once more. With the help of the light spilling out from within the barrier, Feng Xue could finally see the shrimp soldiers and crab generals surrounding her. Yet, possibly due to her position against the barrier, they didn’t seem inclined to attack but kept flashing their red electronic eyes like they were bugged.

Soon, a voice different from that of the shrimp-style submarines and crab-style robots came from not far away. Feng Xue looked over to see a humanoid robot, about twelve or thirteen meters tall and colored in dark blue, emerging from where the barrier met the seabed.

"Warning, you have entered the East Sea Dragon Gate surveillance area. Please show your access permission; otherwise, it will be considered an act of invasion."

"This thing... is it the Patrol Sea Demon?" Feng Xue tossed out another salt ball and took a deep breath, slightly regretting not having leveled a hacker-style Kaidan in the Cyberpunk World.

But, that wasn’t a problem because—

"Plunder!" "Master of Props!" "Make the most of everything!"

Feng Xue’s figure suddenly sped up, and before the Patrol Sea Demon could react, she had already grabbed its shell. Employing the three great powers, the Patrol Sea Demon was instantly phantomized, and Feng Xue was able to send a pass signal to the shrimp soldiers and crab generals through the external device of the Masked Rider.

"This thing’s authorities are beyond my imagination! Or should I say, my ’Make the most of everything’ power is really strong [beep]?"

Feng Xue sat on the back of the Patrol Sea Demon, lightly touching her chin covered by Masked Rider’s helmet, and couldn’t help but be a little lost in thought.
