Digimon: I reached the top using the Knight item.

As she passed Jianliang, Ruki tossed out a sentence without turning her head: "Don't just stand there, hurry up and chase after them!"

Kenjiro watched as Ruki and the Nine-Tailed Beast disappeared into the darkness of the tunnel, and his heart skipped a beat.

He didn't dare to be as reckless as Ruki, jumping directly off the tracks.

"Big-eared Beast, let's go!"

Jianliang called out and turned to run towards the subway station exit.

He could only rush to the next station from the ground, hoping to catch the Digimon there.

Jianliang ran out of the subway station and plunged into the crowd on the street.

The big-eared beast perched steadily on his head, its two long ears swaying as Jianliang ran.

Fortunately, Jianliang regularly practices martial arts and has a good physical foundation; otherwise, he would have been out of breath by now.

Even so, running wildly through the streets with a giant hoodie on your head is definitely not an easy task.

After running through two blocks, Jianliang's pace slowed down noticeably, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Panting heavily, Jianliang couldn't help but complain, "Big-eared Beast, you're so heavy pressing on my head! I can't even run fast anymore!"

Jianliang's meaning was clear: he hoped that Big Ear Beast could get off his head and run away on its own, so as to lighten his burden.

However, the giant ear-shaped beast perched on his head either failed to understand his intentions or simply didn't want to get off and run away on its own?

The big-eared beast simply moved over Jianliang's head, sliding from the top of his head to his back, its two paws gripping Jianliang's shoulders.

The big-eared beast's voice came from behind: "How is it? Is this a little gentler? Are you being treated rudely?"

Jianliang was so stunned by Big Ear Beast's move that he almost couldn't catch his breath.

He felt that the weight on his shoulders had not changed at all, and in fact, because of his awkward posture, it was even more difficult for him to run.

He rolled his eyes speechlessly, too exhausted to even complain, and could only grit his teeth and keep running forward.

……

Meanwhile, inside the pitch-black subway tunnel.

Liu Ji watched the Emperor Serpent Beast's retreating figure, which she could never catch up with.

"This can't go on!"

Ruki frowned, thought for a moment, then pulled out a stack of cards from her card holder and quickly rummaged through them.

She quickly picked out a card.

"Card swap! High-speed component H!"

She swiped the card on the arc flash machine with a swift and decisive motion!

The Nine-Tailed Beast immediately said to Ruki, "Ruki, you'd better hold on tight to me!"

The next second, buzz!

An invisible energy burst forth from the Arc Machine, instantly acting on the Nine-Tailed Beast.

The next second, the Nine-Tailed Beast's speed suddenly increased by a huge margin!

The tunnel walls on both sides rushed past in the field of vision, turning into blurry afterimages.

The Royal Serpent Beast, which had been far ahead, was now rapidly drawn closer into Ruki's field of vision!

The Royal Serpent Beast, which was swimming rapidly ahead, had obviously noticed the commotion behind it.

Its massive head turned slightly, and its scarlet vertical pupils glanced at the approaching figure behind it, the pupils shrinking imperceptibly.

The Royal Serpent Beast pondered for a moment.

Upon reaching the next station, its massive body came to a stop, perched on the empty platform tracks, and waited quietly.

The people here had already been evacuated by staff who had received advance notice.

A few seconds later.

"call out!"

A golden figure leaped out of the tunnel entrance with a sharp whooshing sound!

With Ruki in tow, the Nine-Tailed Beast performed a few nimble flips and turns in mid-air, landing steadily on the platform in front of the Royal Serpent Beast, blocking its path.

The empty platform was left with only them and the Royal Serpent Beast.

Chapter 103: Card Exchange! Female Demon Beast

The crimson eyes of the Royal Serpent Beast were fixed on the Nine-Tailed Beast, which landed steadily on the platform, and on Ruki, who nimbly flipped off its back.

A deep, hoarse sound emanated from the depths of the royal serpent's throat, echoing through the empty subway station.

“Kids, I didn’t mean to get entangled with you. I just came here to find something.”

"But since you have chosen to pursue me relentlessly, my patience has run out."

The patience of the Royal Serpent Beast has indeed been exhausted.

It remembered the mission given by the Vermilion Bird Beast and knew clearly that the Flying Tiger Beast, also one of the Twelve Divine Generals, had died in the human world.

Therefore, the original plan of the Royal Serpent Beast was to return immediately after finding its target, in order to avoid conflict with the group of troublesome human children and their partners as much as possible.

But now, it's the other side that's clinging to it relentlessly, so it can't be blamed for its actions.

Upon hearing the words of the Royal Serpent Beast, Ruki thought to herself: It's a Perfect form, a snake, and now it even admits that it came to "find something".

That's right, the Royal Serpent Beast in front of us is one of the Twelve Divine Generals!

What it's looking for is the Ancient Beast!

As for Ryuki, she went out today to accompany her grandmother to see a play. It was inconvenient to bring the ancient beast with her, so she left it at home.

Since their goal is the Ancient Music Beast, we absolutely cannot let this guy leave!

Ruki's eyes instantly sharpened, and she decisively gave the order to her partner beside her: "Nine-Tailed Beast, defeat it!"

The nine fox tails on the back of the Nine-Tailed Beast spread out gracefully, and at the end of each tail, a ghostly blue flame ignited.

"Ospite fire jade!"

With a soft shout from Nine-Tailed Beast, several balls of eerie blue flames, carrying a chilling aura, shot towards Kingserker Beast like tracking missiles.

Faced with this formidable attack, the Royal Serpent Beast didn't even bother to move, letting the blue fireballs blast solidly into its body.

However, the results were minimal.

When the eerie blue flames came into contact with the hard scales of the Royal Serpent Beast, they were like water splashing against red-hot steel, only splashing up a few insignificant sparks before being instantly extinguished, leaving not even a trace of scorch marks.

"Is that all the attack you've got?"

The crimson vertical pupils of the Royal Serpent Beast revealed undisguised contempt and disdain.

"How ridiculous. It seems I overestimated you all."

Before the words were even finished, the thick snake tail of the Royal Serpent Beast, carrying a fierce wind that tore through the air, lashed out fiercely at the Nine-Tailed Beast like a giant whip!

The Nine-Tailed Beast reacted extremely quickly, its pupils reflecting the rapidly enlarging tail shadow. It exerted force with its limbs and nimbly dodged to the side.

"Boom—!"

The enormous snake tail slammed solidly into the hard platform floor.

A loud bang was heard, and the entire platform shook violently.

Where the stone was drawn, the concrete ground instantly cracked and collapsed, with rubble mixed with steel bars shooting out in all directions, leaving a shockingly large gap.

The nine-tailed beast landed steadily on the other side, its posture still elegant, but its pupils were now filled with solemnity.

"You dodged pretty quickly."

The serpent beast hissed, flicking its tongue, and its enormous body began to move slowly, producing a series of teeth-grinding friction sounds on the iron rails.

"Let's see if you can still dodge now!"

The next second, the Royal Serpent Beast attacked again.

This time, it was no longer a simple sweep, but a series of blows like a storm!

Each sway of the snake's tail whipped up a terrifying gale.

"Bang! Boom! Clang!"

The Nine-Tailed Beast could only rely on its agility to constantly dodge and weave through the impenetrable attacks.

However, the platform space was already limited, and the Nine-Tailed Beast was hiding in an increasingly awkward position.

Several times, the thick snake tail swept past its fur, the force of which made it lose its balance.

Liu Ji frowned deeply. She knew clearly that if things continued like this, it was only a matter of time before she was hit.

Ruki quickly drew another card from her card pack.

"Card swap! High-speed component D!"

The Nine-Tailed Beast's reaction speed and mobility have been enhanced once again.

"boom!"

Another powerful sweep!

This time, the Nine-Tailed Beast was no longer barely dodging; it not only easily avoided the attack but also found an excellent opening in mid-air.

Right now!

"Fox Flame Dragon!"

The nine tails on Nine-Tailed Beast's back suddenly rose up, and the will-o'-the-wisps at their ends merged into one, transforming into a ferocious fire dragon burning with ghostly blue flames, roaring as it charged toward the head of Royal Serpent Beast!

Faced with the Nine-Tailed Beast's counterattack, the Royal Serpent Beast opened its massive maw and instantly spat out a precious halberd, precisely meeting the roaring fire dragon.

"Boom—!"

Baohao and Fox Flame Dragon collided violently in mid-air.

The Nine-Tailed Beast's Foxfire Dragon shattered in mid-air under the impact of the Treasure Pot, turning into countless blue sparks flying everywhere.

The Emperor Serpent's offensive did not stop there.

The halberd that had defeated the Foxfire Dragon drew an arc in the air before being skillfully caught by the thick, powerful tail of the Royal Serpent Beast.

The next second, the Royal Serpent Beast suddenly swung its tail, and the treasure slashed fiercely at the Nine-Tailed Beast that had just landed!

The nine-tailed beast had barely landed when it had no time to make any effective dodge maneuvers.

"Pfft!"

The sharp treasure lance slashed solidly across the Nine-Tailed Beast's body.

"Waaah—!"

The Nine-Tailed Beast let out a painful groan, its entire body flying backward uncontrollably, crashing heavily into the wall behind it before falling heavily to the ground.

A deep, bone-revealing wound was clearly visible on its body, from which data was uncontrollably leaking out.

"Nine-Tailed Beast!"

Ruki's heart clenched suddenly. Without thinking, she quickly rummaged through her card holder and pulled out a card.

"Card swap! Replacement component Q!"

Invisible energy surged forth from the arc light machine once more, transforming into a soft glow that enveloped the body of the warrior.

Under the light, the grotesque wound healed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the spilled data stabilized again.

The nine-tailed beast struggled to its feet. Although its injuries had mostly healed, the intense pain and impact from the previous attack still made its breathing somewhat disordered.

Ruki looked at her partner who had stood up again, and then at the seemingly effortless King Serpent opposite her. Her expression became extremely serious.

Conventional attacks are completely ineffective.

We must use even greater force!

Ruki took a deep breath and drew a card from her card pack.

That was a card she rarely used, one that depicted the image of a fallen angel.
