Don't Mess with that Turtle-Chapter 64 - 063 Tragic_1
64: Chapter 063 Tragic_1
64 -063 Tragic_1
Atop a tranquil hill, a rank wind blew by, followed abruptly by a tiger’s roar.
Savage, brutal.
It seized one’s heart and mind.
Then a long chant overpowered the roar of the tiger: “Aao~”
Majestic and far-reaching, it evoked a sense of righteousness that cleansed all that was dark and evil.
This was a trait unique to Divine God Beasts, their roar naturally purifying the world.
A golden-furred mouse shivered and tucked itself at the feet of Su He, while on the opposite hill, a massive Black Tiger snarled with bared teeth.
Above the Black Tiger’s forehead, four stars twinkled.
A Four-star Exotic Beast, one small Boundary Status higher than Su He.
Yet, it seemed bullied; retreating step by step as Su He pressed forward menacingly.
The Black Tiger roared, and two python snakes, like Ghosts, burst out, slithering rapidly towards Su He to entangle him.
It appeared these Ghosts were a skill possessed by all tiger-type Exotic Beasts.
If it had been half a year ago, Su He would have turned and fled, but now the two python Ghosts didn’t even have the capability to cause him trouble.
Su He raised his head and roared: “Roar!”
Divine God Might swept out, causing the Treasure Hunting Rat beside him to roll its eyes and faint first.
Following the sound wave, the two python Ghosts shattered like porcelain, blowing away in the air piece by piece, dissipating into green smoke.
Divine God Might struck directly at the spirit soul, exerting the greatest restraint on Ghosts and dark spirits.
The Black Tiger grew even more timid and retreated quietly.
This Turtle had emerged from nowhere and suddenly intruded into its territory, grabbing it and giving it a brutal beating.
This creature wasn’t here to claim territory; a Turtle’s territory was in the water, so why would it come to the mountains?
It certainly wasn’t here to steal a mate, as it didn’t have one itself.
Just then, Feng Yaya’s voice came: “Got it, Big Turtle, let’s go!” She carried a small bundle on her back, leaped down from the mountain, and after a few bounds, landed on Su He’s shell.
A refreshing fruit fragrance wafted from the bundle.
Feng Yaya chuckled, extending three fingers and then pressing one down: “There were three Lantern Fruit Trees by its lair; I picked from two.”
The Black Tiger had guarded these three Lantern Fruit Trees for who knows how many years, and Feng Yaya couldn’t bring herself to do the cruel deed of plucking them all.
Over the past half a month, with the Treasure Hunting Rat around, Su He had visited the lairs of various Exotic Beasts in the vicinity and reaped a rich harvest!
The Black Tiger, with its keen sense of smell, had already detected the scent of the Lantern Fruits and immediately started roaring, recklessly charging towards them.
These were the treasures it had guarded for ten years, reserved for use during its advancement.
Su He roared and spat out a water orb from his mouth, blasting the Black Tiger away like a cannon.
As the Black Tiger roared and howled, Feng Yaya waved at it: “No need to see us out, big cat.
Go protect your fruits; otherwise, some baddie might steal them.”
There was still one tree left, enough for the big cat to advance.
The Black Tiger, which had madly rushed them again, suddenly stopped, roaring angrily.
It slapped a locust tree in two and turned tail towards its lair.
The Black Tiger understood Feng Yaya’s words.
“Big Turtle, Big Turtle, quick, put them away,” Feng Yaya said, unwrapping the small bundle and pouring out more than twenty ripe, juicy Lantern Fruits.
The fruits were brimming with Spiritual Energy.
Such fruits had to be consumed immediately after being plucked or placed into a Storage Magic Treasure; otherwise, their Spiritual Power would dissipate, and their effectiveness would be greatly reduced.
After all, they were not innate treasures from heaven and earth, just ordinary Lantern Fruits grown in a place where Spiritual Energy gathered, which over time had acquired a touch of the divine.
The fruits were placed into the External Space, where dice directly appeared in that space.
In half a month, by forcefully snatching the treasures of the surrounding Exotic Beasts, together with the enhancement provided by the dice, Su He had gathered enough to cover the expenses for the discipleship ceremony.
The fruits had been taken to the Pill Medicine lecturer of Li Nan Yuan to be brewed into Hundred Fruits Brew, ensuring that no one would detect the copied fruits from the dice.
The collected herbs had also been used to refine several types of Pill Medicine.
If we could get our hands on two or three more top-notch treasures to be the prizes for the champion of the tournament, that would be perfect.
If all else fails, we’ll just have to make up for it in quantity.
It’s just that Su He is somewhat reluctant to part with the Hundred Fruits Brew, as the fruits guarded by exotic beasts are mostly remarkably effective in aiding cultivation; in the past half-month, Su He had consumed the brew with exceptional results, blasting open a hundred and twenty or thirty acupoints.
Progressing through the Melting Point technique becomes increasingly difficult later on; blasting open each acupoint requires further nurturing, disperses spiritual power and makes it even harder to open the next one.
However, those hundred or more acupoints are all located on the meridians where the Turtle Longevity Secret circulates the spiritual power; each time an acupoint is blasted open, the flow of spiritual power becomes one degree smoother.
The amount of Dragon Turtle True Blood that can be condensed also increases slightly.
Su He now estimates that half of her blood has been replaced by Dragon Turtle True Blood.
With the Treasure Hunting Rat in hand, Feng Yaya on her shell, Su He made her way upstream toward Tinghai Lake.
Just past Beast Valley, the Elephant Water beneath her suddenly changed.
The once flowing water suddenly thickened, becoming like quicksilver.
A wave of sadness emanated from the water.
Tears began to flow uncontrollably from Su He’s eyes, feeling as if the entire world had let her down, inexplicably sorrowful.
Ya Ya, riding on her back, huddled into a ball, hugging her knees and whispering something.
Even the unconscious Treasure Hunting Rat struggled, its body trembling.
The beast pets in Beast Valley howled mournfully, one after another.
Eyes from all over Qingyuan Mountain looked toward them.
Someone enviously said, “Brother Ge is so lucky, that must be your camel, right?”
“To condense a second Profound Moon with the power of emotions.
Could exotic beasts have such delicate feelings?”
“You’re joking, Uncle An.
The emotions of animals are even purer than those of humans,” said Xia Dali.
“But, what has Uncle Ge’s camel been through to condense a second Profound Moon with sorrow?”
Above the Island of Longevity in Tinghai Lake, Elder Ge opened his mouth but ultimately did not speak, swearing instead.
This creature was heartless and carefree, spending its days eating, drinking, sleeping, and solely focused on stealing booze; since when did it have feelings of sorrow?
Where’s the logic in this?
“Dammit all!”
No sooner had the curse fallen than the Elephant Water beneath Su He reversed its flow, the sound of water transforming into weeping.
A camel emerged from the water, standing tall in the air, two Profound Moons emitting a soft glow from its brow.
The camel, which used to appear goofy, now exuded a melancholic beauty.
It lowered its head to look at Su He and Feng Yaya below, letting out a long and low grunting noise.
Translated, it was probably saying: You heartless, ungrateful people, why have you come to fetch me from seclusion?
Would it not be better for me to die here silently?
Forgotten by the world, abandoned by everyone…
The camel’s voice carried the power of the Spirit Communication Scroll, understandable to cultivators.
The glances directed toward the Elephant Water grew strange.
What terrible tale had unfolded among this turtle, camel, and young girl?
Even Elder Ge was at a loss for words.
Looking at the Dragon Turtle and the girl, who were weeping in silence, the camel grew quiet for a moment: “Grunt?
Grunt!” freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Have you realized your mistake?
Do you regret abandoning me?
Seeing that you truly repent…
I forgive you!
All of a sudden, it started bouncing about in mid-air, its demeanor instantly turning goofy.
“Grunt, grunt!”
Turtle Kid!
Girl!
Look, I’ve got a new Profound Moon, isn’t it pretty?
It glows, you know~
Grunt, grunt!
Come on, Turtle Kid, let’s have a fight!
I’ve made progress in cultivation, let’s fight!
