Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

Perhaps seeing the panic among the people on the ship, the ancient sea turtle thought it was a golden opportunity and quietly crept over, preparing to launch an attack.

The ancient sea turtle emerged from the water, manipulating energy to create a massive whirlpool aimed at the fishing boat.

"A whirlpool in the ocean!"

Seeing the whirlpool heading towards the fishing boat, Bai Yu had no choice but to abandon his original plan and quickly descend, flying almost skimming the surface of the sea, while energy surged wildly.

"Han Jing Domination!"

A large amount of cold air was released from his body, instantly reaching the entire area.

The sea surface, and the whirlpool created by the ancient sea turtle, were completely frozen the moment they came into contact with the cold air.

Seeing that its ultimate move had been neutralized, the ancient sea turtle beast that had just poked its head out was clearly stunned for a moment.

It glanced at the figure emanating an aura of extreme cold in mid-air, and without the slightest hesitation, chose to immediately dive underwater and escape.

"You think you can just run away after you've finished fighting? There's no such thing as a free lunch." Bai Yu naturally wouldn't let it escape so easily.

He took out the 'Frost Chain Whip' and lashed it fiercely at the location of the ancient sea turtle beast.

The long ice crystal chains broke through the water's surface, but only created a large splash, failing to harm the ancient sea turtle beast that had already submerged deep in the water.

Seeing this, Bai Yu clicked his tongue in annoyance: "These things that can go into the water are such a hassle."

The water in the cave is murky and the light is dim, making it difficult to lock onto a target once you dive deep inside.

However, that only applied to him before.

Nowadays, Bai Yu is not without means to fight underwater.

The next second, a watch face appeared out of thin air in Bai Yu's hand.

It is the [Neptune Dragon Beast Watch Dial].

Bai Yu pressed the activation button on the dial.

"Neptune Beast!"

A crisp electronic sound rang out, and then the dial was inserted into the empty slot on the left side of the driver, and then rotated again without hesitation.

"Digital Armored Moment - Sea King Dragonmon!"

Accompanied by the transformation sound effects, a brand new transformation begins.

The pair of ice crystal wings on its back shattered suddenly, turning into countless ice-blue fragments that floated in the air like stardust.

Immediately afterwards, a brand new set of armor parts, filled with the aura of the deep sea and the texture of metal, appeared out of thin air.

Bai Yu kicked out suddenly, scattering all the parts.

These components seemed to come alive, flying precisely to various parts of Bai Yu's body and then covering the original Ice Demon Beast Armor.

Shoulder armor, claw blades, the core on the chest...

All key parts are undergoing secondary armament.

Finally, where the ice crystal wings were originally on its back, two streamlined twin-mounted jets gradually solidified—the Ice Abyss Propulsion Units!

Once all the armor parts were installed, Bai Yu appeared in a completely new form.

[Ice Demon? Sea King Dragon Beast Enhanced Armor Form: Strength Level: B-]

Having acquired the ability to fight underwater, Bai Yu did not hesitate at all.

The "abyss thruster" on the back suddenly spewed out a stream of energy that was a mixture of ice blue and deep sea blue.

He transformed into an arrow released from a bow, plunging into the dark sea with a splash, leaving only a continuously expanding ripple on the surface and a lingering, icy mist.

-------------------------------------

Beneath the seawater on the other side.

After jumping into the sea, Ahai's ancient biological armor immediately adapted to the underwater environment.

Ah Hai immediately headed towards the bat-like beast.

【Anomalocaris Armored Form】Its speed underwater isn't top-notch, but it's not slow either. It stirs up the dim water, leaving a trail of bubbles.

However, it is slightly slower than the speed of the manta ray.

With a graceful flip in the water, the manta ray easily circled behind Ah Hai.

They arrived late but came early.

Without the slightest hesitation, the manta ray immediately unleashed its ultimate move, "Paralyzing Tail."

The slender yet strong tail, with its electric needle flashing dangerously, transformed into a blur and stabbed straight towards Ah Hai.

Ahai's reaction was not slow either; the tension of his first transformation was suppressed by his fighting instincts the moment danger struck.

Ahai suddenly twisted his body, simultaneously unleashing the "tail blade weapon" from behind him.

The silver-gray metallic tail blade cleaved through the water, precisely meeting the bat-like beast's attack.

"clang!"

The two tails collided violently in the water, producing a dull metallic clang.

The surrounding seawater was also violently pushed aside by this impact, creating a brief vacuum zone.

But the next second, a strong current surged wildly along the contact point!

The manta ray released an electric shock through its tail!

"Sizzle sizzle—!"

A dense current of electricity instantly spread throughout Ahai's entire body through the "Tail Blade Armor".

"Well!"

Ah Hai let out a muffled groan, feeling a sharp numbness that instantly made his limbs sluggish.

Worse still, the numbness was intensifying, as if it were about to burn his nerves off completely.

This can't go on!

Alarm bells rang in Ahai's mind, but he remained calm, recalling the "tutorial information" that had flooded his mind during the transformation.

The "mud and sand diving" capability is activated!

Suddenly, the brownish-yellow shell texture on the armor surface shimmered with a faint light, and a thick layer of simulated mud and sand quickly seeped out from the gaps in the armor, covering every corner of the armor.

Upon contact with this layer of mud and sand, the current seemed to be absorbed by the earth and quickly dissipated.

It worked!

Ahai immediately retreated, manipulating his tail blade to break free from the entanglement with the bat-eel's tail.

Ah Hai quickly moved his hands and feet to shake off the lingering numbness. Then, with a thought, he controlled the tail blade on his back to separate with a "click," turning it into two sharp short blades, which he held tightly in his hands.

The bat-like beast opposite seemed to be enraged when its attack failed.

The manta ray let out a sharp hiss, and a blinding flash of electricity lit up between its two antennae, which resembled antennas, locking onto Ah Hai's location and charging forward once more.

This time, Ah Hai was on high alert.

It fully activated another core ability of the [Anomalocaris Armor Form]: Paleontological hunting instinct.

[Ancient biological hunting instinct: Inheriting the superb hunting ability of Anomalocaris, it possesses extremely strong dynamic vision and predictive ability, enabling it to accurately detect the enemy's movements and weaknesses]

In an instant, the field of vision of the compound eye array in Ahai's helmet changed dramatically.

The entire dark underwater world became incredibly clear in his perception.

The charging manta ray was no longer a blurry black shadow; he could clearly see every movement of its fins, the contraction of its muscles, and even predict the trajectory of the water flow.

In Ahai's eyes, countless pale blue data streams flashed as he analyzed and predicted the manta ray's movements.

Just as the manta ray was about to approach, preparing to unleash its electric shock.

Ah Hai made a move.

He suddenly swerved to the side, dodging the bat-beast's frontal attack at an unbelievable angle. At the same time, he gripped his short blade tightly in his left hand and thrust it fiercely towards the three o'clock position he had anticipated!

"Pfft!"

It's the sound of a blade entering a body.

The short blade pierced the left wing-shaped fin of the manta ray with perfect accuracy!

"hiss--!"

The manta ray let out a painful shriek, and the electricity that had gathered between its two tentacles instantly dissipated.

"You hit him!" Ah Hai's excited voice rang out.

Following that, Ah Hai pressed his advantage, giving the bat beast no chance to catch its breath.

He gripped his short blade tightly in both hands and unleashed a rapid, storm-like barrage of strikes at the massive body of the manta ray, even employing the same sword techniques he used to kill sea fish.

Before long, the manta ray's once smooth body was covered with crisscrossing knife wounds.

The manta ray howled in pain, lost its balance, and began to fall helplessly toward the seabed.

Ah Hai stopped his attack and looked down at the time-space drive at his waist.

Right now!

Without hesitation, Ahai pressed the dial and the drive, and then turned the drive again.

"The End Time!"

The cold electronic sound effects echoed in the water.

Ah Hai crossed the two short blades in front of him, and yellowish-brown and silver-gray energy frantically gathered on the blades.

"Assassination Shock - Cross Slash!"

With a sudden, powerful swing of his arms, a solid X-shaped energy strike instantly tore through layers of seawater, slamming into the plummeting manta ray beast with unparalleled force.

"Boom—!"

The manta ray didn't even get to let out a final wail; its massive body began to flicker violently after being struck by the X-shaped slash.

Ultimately, its entire body completely collapsed, turning into data, which then slowly dissipated into the dark seawater.

Chapter 74: These are all my enemies too.

Compared to Ahai's battle, Baiyu on the other side won with ease and comfort.

Once in the water, the advantages of [Ice Demon? Sea King Dragon Beast Enhanced Armor Mode] were brought to their fullest potential.

The "Abyss Thruster" on his back spewed out a stream of energy that was a mixture of ice blue and deep sea blue, propelling him into a swift arrow in the water, moving at an incredible speed!

In contrast, the ancient sea turtle's somewhat clumsy body made it very slow in the water, and it couldn't escape Bai Yu's pursuit at all.

Seeing that escape was hopeless, the ancient sea turtle beast became fierce and stopped running away. Instead, it used its sharp, blade-like forefin to attack Bai Yu.

Faced with the oncoming attack, Bai Yu did not choose to dodge, but instead used the "Abyss Ice Crystal Claw" covered with deep-sea blue scales to block the ancient sea turtle beast's front fin.

The metal collided with the ice crystals, producing a dull sound.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely cold chill was released from Bai Yu's claw blade.

"Snap! Snap!"

The biting cold spread at a visible speed, and the ancient sea turtle's body was quickly frozen after coming into contact with the cold, turning into a lifelike ice sculpture, with even the astonished expression on its face perfectly preserved.

After freezing the ancient sea turtle beast, Bai Yu stepped back a distance, and then the launcher device on the "Wave-Breaking Scale Armor" on his right shoulder was activated.

"Abyss Impact Torpedo".

Two pure deep-sea blue energy projectiles shot out one after the other, carrying the impact of high-pressure water flow. They drew two straight trajectories in the dim water and accurately hit the ancient sea turtle beast, which was frozen into an ice sculpture.

"Boom—!"

The violent explosion stirred up an undercurrent in the water, and the ancient sea turtle, which was frozen in ice, along with the ice layer that encased it, was blasted into countless fragments.

A large amount of data was released during the explosion.

Bai Yu skillfully retrieved a blank watch face from the system space, absorbed all the data of the ancient sea turtle beast, and created the ancient sea turtle beast watch face.

【Ancient Sea Turtle Dial】: The overall color is olive green, accented with warm ginger yellow, and the case back is engraved with an "ancient sea turtle relief".

Bai Yu stored the watch face in the system space and then left.
