Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

A huge serpent suddenly burst out of the tunnel entrance!

Its enormous body almost filled the entire track, and its pair of scarlet vertical eyes swept over the panicked crowd on the platform, filled with violence and disdain.

"Ah! A monster!"

"Run!"

Screams and cries instantly erupted across the platform, and the crowd erupted into chaos, like a hornet's nest that had been disturbed.

"Liu Ji!"

The situation was urgent, and the fox spirit immediately appeared, protecting Ruki, not even caring that Ruki's grandmother was also there.

The demon fox beast's golden pupils were fixed on the giant snake, and it went into a state of alert.

When Ruki's grandmother saw the suddenly appearing fox spirit, she wasn't frightened.

The elderly woman is usually very observant, and she is not completely unaware of the "little secrets" surrounding her granddaughter.

What truly terrified her was the giant snake coiled on the tracks, emanating a terrifying aura.

"Grandma, we have to get out of here right away!"

At this moment, Ruki had no time to explain. She gave the fox spirit a look, signaling it to hold the other side back, while she grabbed her grandmother's arm and pulled her towards the exit. She couldn't let her grandmother be in danger!

Fortunately, the staff at this subway station are quite responsible.

As soon as Liu Ji led her grandmother to the top of the stairs, a staff member in uniform quickly came to greet them.

Seeing that it was a group of elderly people and children, he quickly reached out to help them, saying, "Grandpa, this way, watch your step!"

Seeing this, Ruki immediately handed her grandmother's hand to a staff member.

"Grandma, go with him!"

"Go to a safe place first. Don't worry about me. I'll come back safely later."

After Ruki finished speaking, under the astonished gaze of the staff member, she suddenly turned around and ran back towards the platform without looking back.

"Oh no! Kid! Danger!"

The staff member subconsciously reached out to grab it, but only grasped at air.

He looked at the old man beside him with a bewildered expression: "Grandpa, your granddaughter..."

Although Ruki's grandmother's face was full of worry, she still shook her head slightly at the staff and said calmly, "It's okay, don't worry about my granddaughter."

Fine! If you yourselves don't care, then why should I, an outsider, meddle in your business?

The staff member muttered to himself, said nothing more, and dutifully helped the elderly man towards the ground exit.

When Ruki ran back to the platform, the fox spirit was confronting the giant snake.

The enormous snake coiled on the rails, almost completely blocking both tracks. Its scarlet vertical pupils revealed a cruelty and savagery unique to cold-blooded animals.

The ordinary people on the platform were gone, leaving only a mess on the ground.

Without pausing for a moment, Ruki quickly grabbed the arc light machine and several cards.

"Demon Fox, get ready!"

Upon hearing Ruki's voice, the fox spirit immediately understood and leaped into the air, stretching out its long limbs.

"Fox Leaf Wedge!"

Countless sharp leaves, emitting a faint glow, materialized out of thin air and hurtled towards the giant serpent Digimon's head like flying knives.

Faced with this formidable attack, the giant snake didn't even flinch.

Its thick tail flicked upwards casually, stirring up a gust of wind.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

All the leaves that flew towards the snake were pulverized by an immense force the moment they touched its tail, turning into countless specks of light that vanished without a trace.

No harm was caused.

Upon seeing this, Ruki immediately realized that this Digimon was no ordinary creature.

He immediately raised the Arc Light Machine in his hand and aimed it at the giant serpent Digimon.

Soon, detailed information about the giant serpent Digimon appeared on the screen of the arc light machine.

Ruki stared at the text on the screen and read it aloud, word by word: "Orochimon, Ultimate Level, Sacred Beast Type, Virus Species..."

Both being in their complete form and serpentine, Ruki immediately thought of the Twelve Divine Generals.

At the same time, without any hesitation, almost as soon as she saw the data, she pulled a card out of her pocket and swiped it on the arc light machine!

"Card swap! Hyper-evolution component S!"

A dazzling beam of evolutionary light erupted from the Arc Machine, instantly completely framing the body of the Foxmon.

"Renamon evolves into Nine-Tailed Beast!"

In the blinding light, the fox beast's body was continuously stretched and heightened, its originally golden fur became even smoother and more beautiful, and nine fluffy, huge tails grew from its back, each tail ending in a ghostly blue flame.

Mature form, Nine-Tailed Beast!

However, the serpent beast coiled on the railroad tracks seemed unconcerned about this evolution.

Its crimson vertical pupils merely glanced contemptuously at the evolved nine-tailed beasts, showing no intention of engaging them, before tossing its massive head aside.

The next second, the enormous body of the Royal Serpent Beast continued to disappear into the tunnel, leaving only a howling wind and the gradually fading sound of metal scraping.

"Don't run!" Seeing this, Ruki rushed forward and nimbly climbed onto the broad back of the nine-tailed beast.

"Chase it! We absolutely cannot let it get away!"

The nine-tailed beast exerted force with its limbs and charged into the dark tunnel without hesitation.

The tunnel was dark, with only the emergency lights on the walls on both sides, which lit up at intervals, casting a pale and weak light.

Ruki clung tightly to the Nine-Tailed Beast's soft fur, her body rising and falling with its running, her eyes fixed on the massive silhouette that loomed in the darkness ahead.

The Royal Serpent Beast moved extremely fast along the track, and even though the Nine-Tailed Beast was chasing it with all its might, it could only barely keep up behind and could not close the distance.

It was at this moment that Ruki called Shiraha for help.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Inside a subway car that was moving smoothly, Jianliang was sitting back in his seat, holding Big Ear Beast.

The train slowly pulled up to the platform.

"We've arrived at our stop. Let's get off." Jianliang patted Big Ear Beast's head and stood up.

A man and his beast followed the flow of people off the train.

As soon as it got out of the car, the big-eared beast seemed to be startled by something, and suddenly raised its head, its two long ears standing straight.

"Kenryo! There's a Digimon!"

"What?" Jianliang was startled and immediately became alert.

"It's coming! So fast!" The big-eared beast's voice was tinged with tension as it stared intently at the dark tunnel entrance ahead.

Jianliang followed its gaze and felt a strong gust of wind suddenly rush out from the depths of the tunnel, making the billboards on the platform rattle.

The next second, a huge black shadow burst out of the darkness with terrifying speed!

It is a royal serpent beast.

Chapter 102: Big-eared Beast, you're pressing down on my head so hard!

Before the passengers on the platform could recover from the sudden gust of wind, they witnessed a terrifying scene they would never forget.

It was a snake.

A giant snake, larger than anyone could imagine.

His scarlet vertical pupils swept across the platform indifferently, as if he were looking at a swarm of insignificant ants.

The deathly silence lasted only a second.

"Aaaaaah—Monster!"

A woman's scream, like a drop of water thrown into boiling oil, instantly ignited the entire platform.

Panic spread like wildfire. People screamed, cried, and pushed each other, rushing towards the stairwell exit without regard for anything else. The scene quickly spiraled out of control.

Just then, the Royal Serpent opened its massive maw, filled with fangs, and let out a silent roar at the subway in front of it.

An invisible wave spread out.

The subway car, like a sand sculpture weathered by the elements, decomposed into countless tiny specks of light, crumbling and dissipating inch by inch.

At this moment, some passengers who hadn't had time to get off the train were frantically trying to escape, but the doors were only so big, and the crowd made it even harder to get off.

The decomposition effect is continuing and will soon spread to the area where they are located.

Jianliang's pupils contracted sharply as he watched this scene.

"Big-eared Beast!" Jianliang's voice was unusually clear in the noisy environment.

He quickly pulled the arc light machine out of his pocket and then swiftly drew out a digital card.

"Card Draw! WarGreymon - Shield of Courage!"

Jianliang didn't pause for a moment, quickly swiping the card through the arc flash machine!

"Don't delay!"

The big-eared beast understood immediately. With a flick of its long ears, it weaved through the heads of the crowd and rushed into the dismantling carriage at top speed!

Just as the deadly ripples of disintegration were about to spread to the trapped passengers, the small body of the Big Ear Beast stood in front of them.

"what!"

Big-eared Beast suddenly pushed its hands forward!

A massive shield made of orange data appeared out of thin air in front of Terriermon. The shield was several times larger than Terriermon itself, and the emblem of courage was clearly imprinted on it.

"Zizzi-"

The invisible decomposition ripples struck the light shield, producing a piercing sound, but could not advance an inch further.

The dismantling of the carriage was abruptly halted.

On the tracks, a hint of surprise flashed in the Emperor Serpent's crimson vertical eyes.

It seemed that it hadn't expected the other party to be able to block its power.

The next second, the Emperor Serpent Beast raised its head slightly, its tongue flicking in and out, and an even more violent aura spread out.

The next second, the giant mouth of the Royal Serpent Beast opened again, and a treasure lance made entirely of light was spat out from its mouth.

"The Black Spear!"

The precious halberd, gleaming with a cold light, shot fiercely towards the Shield of Courage inside the carriage with a piercing whistle that tore through the air!

"duang!"

A deep, muffled roar.

The tip of the treasure spear struck the center of the shield of courage with precision, causing the entire shield to tremble violently and orange ripples to spread across its surface.

However, that's all.

The next second, to the astonishment of the Emperor Serpent Beast, Baohao was actually thrown backward by a huge recoil force!

This is what makes Beast Tamers so special: even if they are not strong enough, they can still unleash powerful attacks or defensive moves by swiping digital cards.

Just then, another sharp whooshing sound came from inside the tunnel.

A figure leaped out of the darkness!

Ruki and the Nine-Tailed Beast, who had been chasing from behind, caught up.

The Royal Serpent Beast glanced at the pursuers behind it, then at the Shield of Courage inside the carriage, which seemed impenetrable for the time being. A cunning glint flashed in its crimson vertical pupils.

With a sudden twist of its massive body and a slap of its tail on the ground, its entire body shot off like an arrow and plunged into another empty subway tunnel!

Seeing this, Ruki immediately ordered the Nine-Tailed Beast to continue the pursuit.
