Walker, who was next to the scene, instantly dived underwater. However, what he saw next made all the hair on his skin stand on end. A crab monster, which was almost as huge as a tractor, had its claws latched onto Milo's thigh as it continued to swim downward. Milo, who was under the claw of the monster, could be seen struggling as he tried to free himself from its hold. Unfortunately, all his efforts were futile against the monster's strength. “Mi-bubble.” Walker hurriedly shut his mouth before more seawater could get to his mouth. He swam in the direction of the crab monster and began to launch several attacks on it. The monster crab, who was happily bringing its strange snack back to its lair, was instantly enraged when it saw another strange snack attacking it. The holds on Milo's thigh released, and the monster swam backward, raising its giant claws at Walker. Unfortunately, Walker's brain reacted faster than his body could. Before he could dodge to the side, the massive claw of the monster had already arrived before his face. ‘Damn it.’ Walker cursed in his heart. Just when he saw his life flashing before his eyes, a force suddenly pulled him backward, propelling him out of the water. “Walker, are you okay?” Kai hurriedly ran towards Walker, who was lying on the beach sand. “Cough, cough.” Walker coughed out the water he had accidentally swallowed and sat upright. “Monster. There's a big monster inside the ocean.”As he finished speaking, Milo's body also resurfaced above the seashore. Milo coughed out a lot of water as soon as he got out of the water. He lay weakly above the sand, too tired to move. Right on his left thigh was a ghastly wound which had a huge clump of meat missing from it. The hollow wound was bleeding out so much blood that it dyed the sand under him red. Atlas hurriedly rushed over to his side and began to administer some healing treatments to him. When he was fully healed, Milo finally had the strength to speak. “That-” “Don't speak.” Tyron, who had just saved the two men, cut in. “Save your energy. We need to move away from here quickly.” However, before any one of them could take a step, the surface of the ocean began to distort, and soon several giant crabs appeared on the sandbank. The one who stood out the most among the giant crabs was the one who was almost as big as a tractor. The moment it saw Walker, who was sitting on the beach sand, it clapped its giant claws furiously. As if receiving a signal, the giant red crabs charge at the group. Sylvia hurriedly summoned out Sky and jumped across its back. The others also summoned their beasts and began to escape towards the nearby forest. While escaping, Sylvia read the automatic info that had been projected by Susu. ====[Red Crabs] Class: SS Characteristics: They Are One of the Weakest Species in the ocean. Due to their weak strength, they were chased out of the inner circle of the ocean and had to reside with other lower-class sea beasts. Strong Reproduction. Sharp Claws. Strong Defense due to their thick exoskeleton. Skills: Water bullets. Elemental Weakness: Ice elemental attack Physical Weakness: Null Innate attributes: Water Contract Potential: ??? === You call this a weak species. Sylvia was shocked when she read the info on the screen. If such giant crabs were considered as low-tier monsters inside the ocean, doesn't that imply that the monsters in the sea are much more powerful than any land beast? No wonder the researchers hadn't put out any info about the existence of sea beasts. Who the hell would want to provoke such big guys? Besides that, humans' great advantage was only on land. If they were to spread out to the ocean, the outcome would definitely be a disaster. Sky continued to run wildly with his master on his back. Sylvia knew that even if they wanted to defend against the attack of the crabs, their current situation wasn't advantageous for that, as all of them had already changed out of their combat suits.An attack from any of the crabs would surely take a piece of their skin along with it. Now, the situation was already bad for the group. Sylvia didn't know whether to call Susu out of his hibernation or not. “Woohee-woohee.” A strange horn sound suddenly sounded across the beach. Then, a shocking scenario happened. The red crabs, who were chasing wildly behind them, instantly froze on the spot. And in the next second, every one of them scurried back into the ocean as if there were a huge monster chasing behind them. Even the mighty crab king, who was waiting for the victory of its underlings, instantly dove straight into the water. It didn't dare to show its head above the water. As it swam deeply into the deep water, one would see that its body was constantly shaking due to fear. Even its eyes had a trace of panic in them. On the seashore, Sylvia and the rest all had a look of surprise on their faces when they witnessed this scenario. Suddenly, their surprised looks changed to one of cautiousness. For something that could scare away thousands of SS rank sea beasts, it must definitely be a powerful monster. Sweat dripped down from Tyron's forehead as he looked at the surroundings warily. “Wait for my escape order on the count of five.” He spoke out, hoping that the danger he was thinking about wouldn't happen. 'Susu, is there a powerful beast around us?' Sylvia hurriedly used the emergency option to call out Susu. [No.] Susu answered. [But there is indeed a group of people hiding in the forest area around you.] As Susu finished his words, several rustling sounds came from the bush across them.A short dagger immediately appeared in Tyron's hand, and he threw it in the direction of the rustling sound. “What a rude way to thank your savior.” A feminine voice came from behind the bush. Then, a woman, holding the dagger Tyron had thrown out, stepped out of the space. She was wearing a skirt that was made from leaves. Her chest was wrapped with something that looked like beast hide. Her skin was tan, and there were various scars across her body. Seeing the woman’s appearance made Sylvia recall the indigenous local documentary she always watched on TV back in her previous life. Is this woman from a local tribe that has been living in the wild for years? Could it be that the four pathways inside the fire crystal cave were dug out by them? “Who are you?” Tyron didn't let down his guard just because the other party said she had saved them. Instead, he was even more cautious. For someone to be able to scare off an army of SS-rank beasts, she must be a powerful mercenary or a powerhouse. “Me… My name is Letitia.”
