Its crimson carapace easily shattered driftwood in the river, its tentacles on its head swung back and forth to explore the surrounding terrain, its giant tail swam and churned the river, and its claws emerged from the water, creating several large waves that crashed against the surrounding riverbanks and into the rocks and trees in the mountain canyon.

The shrimp-clawed monster's claws smashed into a crater upon landing, then propped itself up and climbed ashore. Its entire body was covered in scales, and its back was covered with horns that extended from the coral horn on its head to its tail fin. A pair of hammer-sized pincers smashed a path through the valley, allowing the monster to pass through and spit out the marker again.

"What's that monster doing? Why is it moving around like that, stopping and starting? It's making things very unsettling for us."

"That monster belongs to the magical beast category. It possesses magical abilities and can unleash elemental attacks, as can be seen from the continuous flashing patterns within its shell. Most magical beasts are territorial and will release markers to warn other magical beasts or predators."

Yaohui remained vigilant, watching the monster that had climbed up the mountain in the distance. Ajiu explained that everyone on the ship was on high alert because of the monster.

"How about I just transform and leave with the ship? We can go straight back to the port, and Zeta can help with the spatial transfer."

Yao Hui couldn't stand it anymore. The river was now filled with surging waves, and the cargo ships were like fallen leaves, drifting with the current.

"I'm not trying to discourage you, brave warrior, but this is very risky. That shrimp-claw monster is expanding its territory and will attack any large creature it sees. It might pounce on you while you're in giant form."

I've witnessed the Shrimp Claw Beast clashing with other monsters before; the level of combat was extremely dangerous for us mere mortals to watch from the sidelines.

The foreman remained pessimistic, his previous experiences constantly replaying in his mind; humans were utterly powerless to intervene in the actions of the behemoths.

A giant black bird with fiery feathers flew through the air. The shrimp-clawed monster that dominated the mountain roared and waved its claws, making a menacing display. The fiery bird was displeased with this arrogant monster and unleashed a firestorm with a flap of its wings, directly destroying the shrimp-clawed monster and the mountain it was on.

The shrimp-clawed monster, knocked down from the mountaintop, crashed into the river along with a shower of rocks, creating waves dozens of meters high as it raced through the gorge.

The vast expanse of dark water resembles the clouds obscuring the sun, with aquatic life being overturned by the river waves and large swathes of terrestrial vegetation being instantly submerged.

There was no way to resist. Even at top speed, human cargo ships could not escape being swallowed by the waves of the river. The oppressive darkness turned the beautiful scenery into chaos, leaving only silence and ruin behind.

The river waves receded into the distance, leaving behind a mixture of branches, leaves, and mud. No life could be seen or heard anywhere it passed through; it was a devastating catastrophe. In the end, only a few bubbles continued to rise from the water.

More and more bubbles appeared, and light emanated from the source of the bubbles, followed by a beam of light, and then the upright figure of a giant bursting out of the river.

"Ultraman Zeta, Alpha Armor."

The silver giant stood on the river, emitting a light that illuminated the gorge and swept away the previous darkness. Zeta held the cargo ship protected by the light energy bubble in his hand. The impact of the river waves had capsized the cargo ship, but everyone was safe.

As for Sean, Haruki and Zeta decided not to let him participate in the battle this time. After all, his body was already in great pain, and with this ordeal, he would probably be in bad shape for quite some time to come.

The giant black-feathered bird was still circling in the sky. It had originally planned to teach that arrogant monster a lesson, but since it saw the appearance of the giant of light, it decided it was best not to interfere. It flapped its wings and flew along the river, and soon disappeared from sight.

It burst out of the water once again, roaring angrily and pounding the water in protest. It looked up at the sky, frantically searching for the giant bird from before, but instead of the bird, it saw a giant with flashy skin blocking its way.

Driven to madness, the giant ignored right and wrong. The shrimp-clawed monsters, treading on water, smashed the giant to the ground. Appearing when one is expanding their territory, they are either competitors or rebels, and neither of these two shrimp-clawed monsters would be easily let go.

Zeta pushed out his breath and quickly moved the cargo ship to a safe location. The Shrimp Claw Monster climbed over the rocks and moved quickly through the mountains like a jumping spider. It swung its hammer pincers and attacked Zeta with great force, its momentum like that of a heavy elephant trampling.

The barrier opened but was destroyed by the beast's power. Zeta was pressed into the water by the shrimp claw monster and dragged along the river to its depths.

After being battered by the waves, the river is now filled with a large amount of impurities, and everything in sight is a gray-black color.

Zeta unleashed Emerium Shot, scorching the giant shrimp claws and forcing it to loosen its grip. Zeta broke free and stood beneath the river, facing the monster once more.

The Shrimp Claw Monster originally intended to drown this humanoid creature in the river, but unexpectedly it was burned first. Now it seems that this giant can also breathe underwater, and it will have to use some real skills to kill him.

With its eyes shining and pincers open, the shrimp-clawed monster transformed into battle mode, its pincers glowing with magical light as it manipulated the water to create vortexes that tore forward.

Zeta punched with all his might against the vortex, and the blue light successfully destroyed the water flow, but the next water flow quickly attacked.

Zeta's limited vision prevented him from defending in time, and he was hit by the vortex and slammed into the rock wall, causing him pain. Fortunately, the river water greatly reduced the impact, preventing Zeta from smashing a hole in the rock wall.

Before he could even catch his breath, the Shrimp Claw Beast attacked again with its vortex. Zeta dodged Zeta's punch, which struck the rock wall, creating an opening that stopped the attack.

The Shrimp Claw Beast used water to wrap around its pincers for close combat, with each swing and thrust creating bursts of water. Zeta swung his lightsaber to block the water fists, then switched from defense to offense with a cross-slash, deflecting the beast's hammering pincers and turning to slash horizontally, leaving a wound on the monster's carapace.

In the dark riverbed, rubble and debris floated up and down. Giant monsters stood on either side, one on the left and one on the right. Zeta's forehead lamp and eyes shone with probe light, and the crystal on its chest shone with layers of light. The shrimp-claw monster's eyes gleamed, the water flow on its pincers swirled more intensely, and it charged forward again in a fit of rage.

Zeta simultaneously lifted his leg forward, and just as the shrimp claw monster was about to attack, he did a front flip to dodge its sweeping attack, and swung his arm to slash a blade at the monster's back.

The Shrimp Claw Monster, in pain, attacked again, but its arthropod body structure made it difficult for it to move as freely as Zeta. Its stiff movement trajectory allowed Zeta to seize the opportunity again, kicking the monster back with a spinning kick and then slashing upwards to finish it off.

The troubled shrimp abandoned melee combat, and the shrimp claw monster once again manipulated the vortex to attack Zeta, this time mixing in the rocks and soil from the ground, making it larger and darker.

Zeta sheathed his lightsaber, raised his hand, and charged up the Zestiem Ray. Based on his observations and reflections, Zeta knew that the Shrimp Claw Monster wouldn't move when it released its vortex, just like when he released his own ray. Since they were similar attacks, he decided to go head-to-head and see who was more powerful.

Ultraman's radiance illuminates a region beneath the rivers, while Z-shaped streams of light echo the boiling fighting spirit within Zeta Crystal.

With a powerful strike, it shattered the double vortex, completely destroying the shrimp claw monster's attack. After hitting the monster itself, it exerted its power a second time, sending the shrimp claw monster flying out of the river and back to its original position.
