Man on the ark, forced to become king

Was that person really a land dweller?

Such a brutal fighting style is rare even among Deepsea Hunters.

Although the Deepsea Hunters are a special combat force organized by Argo to deal with the Sea Siren, there are differences in strength among them, and not everyone has great strength.

The person in front of me can wield such a heavy weapon with such ease that he would rank among the top deep-sea hunters.

If she's in good form, Skadi is confident she can compete and might even win.

But her current condition is not very good. The long, unconscious battle just now has further depleted her already limited physical strength. Where would she get the strength to deal with such a strong enemy?

Even the strongest person is still a living being and needs to eat. Without nutritional supplements, she will only become weaker and weaker.

"Attack!"

The man was still provoking... Regardless of his intentions, Skadi saw it as a provocation.

The girl gripped the sword hilt tightly, squeezing out her limited strength, gritted her teeth, and charged forward.

It has been proven before that a direct escape is impossible.

If you want to leave, there's only one option—defeat the enemy!

Deep-sea hunters, never back down!

Bang!

The swords clashed again, and the two men each took a few steps back, their weight causing the ground to crack open.

Lin Lu, carrying the giant sword in one hand, dusted off her clothes and beckoned to the girl, signaling her to come again.

In terms of pure physical strength, the girl who resembled Hai Si was actually no less than him, but who could blame her for being under the Golden Tree here?

If we were to describe it using a game analogy, then the person standing under the golden tree would have virtually unlimited health and mana, while the girl would be like an ordinary player in the game, with only a few health and mana bars that would eventually run out.

Therefore, Lin Lu was not in a hurry.

"You are Haisi? I can smell Haisi's scent on you."

He even had the leisure to strike up a conversation.

"No."

Upon hearing the name 'Hai Si', the girl's face revealed obvious disgust and hatred.

"Let me leave. My continued presence here will bring you disaster."

"Disaster? What disaster?"

Lin Lu raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled. He suddenly realized that things seemed to be a little different from what he had thought.

This girl, who resembles Hai Si, doesn't seem to be Hai Si at all, but rather something that is the opposite of Hai Si?

If they are all descendants of the sea, according to the 'collective consciousness' mentioned by the wolf mother, how could they possibly hate their own kind?

"...You know Hai Si."

Skadi also realized that this man knew of Hai Si's existence and even mentioned the 'same scent,' which meant that he had some understanding of the sea. Therefore, he could explain things that the land dwellers couldn't understand.

“My blood will attract sea creatures, which will use it to find me and stay there. The sea creatures will bring disaster to this city.”

"Is there still this?"

Hearing her say that, Lin Lu narrowed her eyes and communicated with the small golden tree planted in Longmen.

As night fell, the golden tree glowed with a soft light, and an invisible force enveloped it, spreading to every inch of air and every corner.

Bathed in golden light, everything was laid bare. Through the Golden Tree's perception, Lin Lu 'saw' an extremely fine 'thread' connecting to the girl, disappearing into the void, its connection unknown.

This connection is somewhat similar to the link between the Golden Tree's blessing and the Golden Tree, but it is more obvious.

Hai Si's so-called collective consciousness probably relies on these 'lines' to exist.

hum~

The golden tree shone even brighter, painting the earth in a golden hue.

Boom!

The greatsword slammed to the ground. Lin Lu raised her eyelids and asked, "Can you feel anything?"

"Feel?"

Skadi was taken aback, and then realized that the 'feeling of being watched' that had been lingering in her mind had disappeared.

In this golden realm, her connection with the deep sea was severed!

"I will compensate for the trouble and losses caused."

The severing of contact means that the deep-sea creatures can no longer locate her through her blood, nor can they use her to invade the land.

In this way, she wouldn't need to escape as soon as possible.

Having lost her reason to fight, the girl remained silent for a moment, then slung the greatsword back over her shoulder and raised her hands.

During her bounty hunter career, someone had done this before, supposedly as a sign of surrender.

"What's your name? Where are you from?"

The battle ceased, and the giant sword stuck in the ground was enveloped in golden light and disappeared. Lin Lu approached and asked with great interest.

"Skadi, from Agor, the Deepsea Hunter."

This information wasn't important, and Skadi didn't hide anything; she said whatever came to mind.

"Deep Sea Hunter?"

Upon hearing the name, Lin Lu looked the girl standing there up and down thoughtfully.

The meaning of the word "hunter" is not difficult to understand.

Where there is a hunter, there must be a prey. Considering the girl's special attitude towards Hai Si, it's obvious what the prey is.

Deep-sea hunters are mostly a group of people in Agor who specialize in hunting sea creatures.

"Does your prison provide meals?"

Skadi spoke up, interrupting Lin Lu's thoughts, her expression slightly unnatural.

She touched her shrunken belly, feeling slightly embarrassed.

According to the laws on land, she should be arrested and then await punishment, right?

Having the means to isolate Hai Si without harming those around her, she didn't care whether she would be imprisoned.

Moreover, if this method continues to be effective, being locked up in prison would actually be a good thing for her.

Bathed in the golden light, she felt a long-lost peace. She no longer had to worry about Hai Si's attacks, and she no longer felt like she was being constantly watched. She could relax both her mind and body. Even living in prison was much better than being targeted by Hai Si again.

But before that, she hoped to get some food to fill her stomach.

She was already hungry, and then she got into a fight here. She was really starving and even felt weak all over.

"Who said you were going to jail?"

Lin Lu was both amused and exasperated. Logically speaking, deep-sea hunters who make a living by hunting sea creatures should all be seasoned veterans with countless battles under their belts. How did someone with such a simple-minded appearance become a hunter?

When she was caught, the first thing she thought of was whether the prison would provide food.

"But... I don't have any money on me."

Skadi looked around and saw that the ground had been smashed open in a large crack, and a wall had collapsed, with cracks extending several stories high.

Those who had fought her before were all in a sorry state. Even though she wasn't very familiar with the common sense of land combat, she knew she definitely couldn't afford to pay compensation.

That small amount of commission is simply impossible to earn.

If I can't afford to pay the compensation... what else can I do but go to jail?

Are you suggesting we make her fix it herself?

She doesn't have that ability... she might as well just be locked up.

"Alright, answer some questions for me, and I'll cover your losses here."

Lin Lu patted her head, glanced at the girl whose face clearly said 'I'm a fool,' and then looked back at Texas and the others.

After receiving treatment from Golden Tree, the injured police officers from the security bureau have almost fully recovered and are no longer in serious condition.

Texas's clothes were torn in many places, making her look rather disheveled.

Hoshiguma fared somewhat better; all the attacks were absorbed by her shield. At this moment, she was touching her deformed shield, feeling dejected.

"Sister Ghost, is your shield broken?"

"Yes, it's definitely not going to work anytime soon, and we don't know if it can be repaired."

Clutching her shield, Hoshiguma was very downcast. This shield held special meaning for her, and now that it had almost been broken, she was heartbroken.

"I'll give you a shield for now. You can use it for the time being. I'll take this one back and have a craftsman repair it for you. I guarantee it will be exactly the same as the original!"

Lin Lu patted her chest and made a promise, not worried at all about whether it could be fixed.

Nian is, after all, a goddess of forging. If she can't even repair a shield, then she might as well give up.

As for what kind of shield to send...

Several thoughts raced through her mind. Lin Lu raised her hand and grabbed a large circular shield from the void.
