Chapter 207: Chapter 146: Merfolk Suddenly Appear, Nearly the Grand Finale (Three Chapters)_3

The armor on the back of the greedy snake had already disappeared; Qin Shou clutched the terrifying bloody wound on his shoulder, his face pale.

"Damn, if I hadn’t dodged instinctively, that would’ve been the finale!"

Qin Shou cursed, taking out the Big Big Wolf Transformation Card.

The scene shifted dramatically; in the Big Big Wolf state, the bloody wound on Qin Shou’s shoulder healed rapidly.

Then, he returned to his original form, the life-threatening injury fully healed.

As he looked at the now calm sea, Qin Shou squinted slightly, his eyes cold.

*They thought they could run after a sneak attack?*

*I won’t let it slide!*

The moment he fell into the sea, he spotted a "familiar" silhouette.

Merfolk!

Summoning Zhi Yin, Qin Shou patted Zhi Yin’s head and said, "Zhi Yin, see if you can track the Merfolk’s whereabouts."

"Uh-huh."

The greedy snake dived down, Zhi Yin’s fish tail lightly swayed as she leaped into the ocean.

A few seconds later, Zhi Yin surfaced, tucking her wet hair behind her ear.

"Master, I found a familiar scent; I can trace its location."

With a wave of his hand, Qin Shou stored the greedy snake into the System Space, using the Yimuki Transformation Card.

"Roar!"

Qin Shou transformed into a Dragon Beast and plunged into the ocean.

"Let’s go, time to settle this!"

"Uh-huh."

Zhi Yin blew colorful bubbles, intending to enclose Qin Shou’s Dragon Beast transformation.

But she glanced at Qin Shou, thought for a moment, and decided against it.

*Master looks so ugly now, no bubbles for him.*

...

Deep in the sea, inside a cave.

A grotesque-looking adult Merfolk held a silver trident, his gill-lined face full of lamentations.

"Alas, if only I’d known, I wouldn’t have broken through yet. Now I have to start all over again, when will I ever return to the tribe?"

"Forget it, forget it, I’ll find a few weaker humans another day, complete the tribe’s task sooner, and return early."

Among the Merfolk, adult Merfolk were often driven out of the tribe, wandering the ocean alone until successfully changing genders before they could return.

In recent years, due to conflicts and friction with humans, returning to the Merfolk tribe required one more condition.

That was to hunt ten humans of equivalent strength!

This Merfolk originally completed the task, but accidentally broke through a few days ago, now needing to hunt ten Diamond Four Stars humans to return to the Merfolk tribe.

*Thinking of this, it felt full of regret.*

Suddenly, the Merfolk seemed to sense something, the gills on its cheeks twitching slightly.

"It’s a kindred, and a female one!"

A grim smile appeared on its scaly face.

"Has she sensed my aura and wants to pursue our great ideal of procreation?"

"Haha, it seems my aura is quite popular right now."

Just as it finished speaking, the Merfolk suddenly felt the water temperature in this sea area rise sharply.

"What’s this... not good!"

Startled, the Merfolk moved its fish tail swiftly, fleeing to the other side of the cave.

"Boom..."

Just as it escaped the cave, a scorching pillar of fire shot through, causing the entire cave to explode on the seabed.

The boiling seawater surged in all directions, making it very uncomfortable.

"Who is it?"

The Merfolk swung the trident, releasing energy, breaking through the boiling seawater, its face full of anger.

"Master, it’s him."

Zhi Yin grasped one of Qin Shou’s dragon horns with one hand, pointing towards the Merfolk with the other.

*Qin Shou’s dragon eyes gleamed with cold intent, this Horror Four Stars Merfolk would be perfect for synthesis materials!*

In the Merfolk tribe, male Merfolk were known for their strong physicality, while female Merfolk possessed the ability to control sea beasts.

Clearly, this Merfolk was male, with no sea beast control capability!

Otherwise, when he fell into the sea, he would have been greeted by a swarm of Horror Four Stars sea beasts.

Meanwhile, the trident that had penetrated the armor in one strike made Qin Shou wary of the Merfolk’s power.

Here, the Merfolk, holding the trident, didn’t pay attention to Qin Shou’s Dragon Beast transformation, but instead focused intently on the half-human, half-fish Zhi Yin.

"Human... no, Merfolk, but not quite either..."

"You are a human’s beast cultivation!"

The Merfolk pointed its trident at Zhi Yin, revealing a sinister smile.

"Hahaha, a Merfolk with human genes, just perfect to take you back as a pet!"

Zhi Yin pouted, retorting, "Try surviving first!"

Saying this, Zhi Yin hummed a tune, and thousands of fish beasts came rushing from miles around.

The Merfolk sneered, its trident softly humming, releasing waves that sent the surging fish beasts fleeing instantly.

"Just a mere Horror One Star Merfolk beast cultivation, daring to use Beast Control ability in front of me?"

"Buzz!!"

Just after it finished speaking, Qin Shou’s mouth unleashed a scorching pillar of fire, breaking through the seawater to enclose it.

Having reached Diamond Four Stars, using the Transform Card now granted the power equivalent to a Horror Four Stars monster.

Seeing the situation, the Merfolk flicked its fish tail quickly, easily dodging the fire pillar.

"Human, are you not going to show yourself?"

Looking around, it shouted, "If you don’t appear, your Dragon Beast will be cruelly slaughtered by me!"

After finishing, it threw the trident in its hand, transforming into an invisible water line, reaching Qin Shou’s eyes in the blink of an eye.

*"So fast!"*

Qin Shou was startled, yet already prepared.

Instantly exiting the Dragon Beast state, his body shrank as the silver trident grazed past.

"Glug, glug..."

The trident struck the seabed’s coral reefs, exploding its energy, causing underwater turbulence.

The Merfolk summoned it back with an outstretched hand, and the trident flew back.

*It pondered, was that... a human?*

*What was happening?*

Before it could think clearly, an azure light spread across the seabed, and an intense sense of threat gripped its heart.

"What is that..."

"Ooooh!!"

A colossal entity emerged from the Space Gate, its coral-like dorsal fin imbued with azure energy, making the Merfolk’s expression change dramatically.

"Impossible, the King of Monsters..."

"Not a real Godzilla, it’s a beast cultivation!"

Realizing this, the Merfolk was momentarily relieved, staring angrily... um, at no one?
