Without waiting for Green Snake’s response, Su He counted on his fingers and a shield floated out, growing longer in the wind until it became like a small boat. He dove under White Tiger and grabbed it, flying upwards.

Green Snake hissed and spat out a message. Su He slapped the water and jumped up, tearing off a large piece of tiger meat before falling back into the lake.

These two seemed easy to deceive.

The two on the sword were startled by the light, then laughed heartily, admiring This Turtle’s courage.

This Turtle was going down the path of exotic beasts, which was also a form of cultivation. Cultivation was like sailing against the current, requiring both caution and boldness.

“Senior Brother, no matter how the White Tiger died, Green Snake is still involved. If Senior Brother Lu finds out, he might come looking for trouble.”

Green Snake and This Turtle were probably lured here to destroy the evidence.

“It doesn’t matter!” Fat Senior Brother shook his head. “The sect’s elders have set up restrictions in the Snake Valley, so Senior Brother Lu can’t get in.” Even some disciples didn’t know this, and he had only recently found out.

The restrictions couldn’t stop beasts, but they could stop humans and prevent them from interfering with the fight for the Demon Morphing Fruit. Although he didn’t understand the significance of doing this – demons were of great benefit to the sect, so they should control the Demon Morphing Fruit and let the sect’s beast pets consume it, or at least protect all the beasts that ate it – why did they not stop wild beasts from fighting for it? It was even encouraging this kind of competition.

The two flew on their swords, and Su He and the whole turtle breathed a sigh of relief underwater.

It was safe for now, with the protection of Snake Valley.

Three days ago, his body had reached its limit, and he couldn’t help but feel sleepy. Now, after eating a full stomach of tiger meat, his eyelids were as heavy as if they had been weighed down by a Ten Thousand Catties Talisman.

Going to Snake Valley meant a real deep sleep.

This should be his last deep sleep before hibernation, and even this sleep would be connected to hibernation, sleeping until the spring of the following year?

After all, it was only a month and a half away from hibernation. In previous years, they had already started preparing for a large-scale hunt and accumulating energy to prepare for winter.

Su He bit off two pieces of stolen tiger meat but couldn’t eat anymore, so he shook his head and threw it to Green Snake, who wagged her tail and swam towards Snake Valley.

Snake Valley, safe!

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get! Why does Green Snake’s Snake Valley have protection, but I have nothing?

Who hasn’t eaten the Demon Morphing Fruit?

Why treat us differently?Green Snake lazily followed behind Su He, swimming very slowly. Its body was mostly filled with tiger meat and it could no longer swim properly, but luckily, it had just learned some basic water-manipulation techniques from the new inheritance, which allowed it to move forward with the waves.

Snake Valley was perfect for hibernation, with no wind and sandy shores by the small lake. Su He dug a hole by the lake and buried his whole turtle body, leaving only his nostrils exposed for breathing. He felt very comfortable with his body half-wet and half-dry.

Green Snake crawled into a cave on the cliffside with difficulty. It was a snake’s nest and looked even warmer, but the entrance was only as wide as a water bucket, so Su He couldn’t get in.

Before falling asleep, Su He heard Green Snake’s breathing become long and light, and he knew it had fallen asleep too.

Now, Green Snake could sleep peacefully next to Su He. This was absolute trust.

The moon, willows, and autumn dew condensed, and Snake Valley fell into silence, except for the rustling of the venomous snakes.

It was late at night, the time when the venomous snakes hunted.

Qingyuan Sect, Enforcement Hall.

The First Seat of Enforcement Hall looked dark and gloomy as he stared at the two turtle shells. The people below dared not breathe.

This incident was extremely serious!

Qingyuan Sect never prohibited disciples from competing with each other, but such competition should be benign. How could they allow small fries to cause trouble?

Originally, they thought it was just a coincidence and that the disciples were just mischievous.

Now it seemed that everything, from Feng Yaya’s rampage in Beast-taming Valley to Lu Ming’s imprisonment, was all planned to target Lu Ming’s Guardian Beast!

Or rather, to target Lu Ming’s True Transmission!

Guardian Beasts and their owners were inseparable. Attacking a Guardian Beast was equivalent to attacking its owner. This was common sense.

“Fu Feng, you go interrogate Feng Yaya and find out why she released all the beasts in Beast-taming Valley!”

“Zhao Lie, take the turtle shell to Beast-taming Valley and ask Elder An to identify the Spirit Talisman! The restraining talisman in the talisman has the aura of a White Tiger. If the talisman is activated by a White Tiger, it must be someone by Lu Ming’s side. We must capture this person!”

He had a few suspects in mind, but Enforcement Hall emphasized evidence. Dealing with despicable people must be done openly and with overwhelming strength that cannot be refuted.

“You two will go to Listening Sea Lake and find that turtle. I will use means to extract its memory and see who is the one scheming behind the scenes!”

The chubby and thin senior brothers both bowed: “Yes.”

After hesitating for a moment, the chubby Taoist said again: “Senior Uncle, that turtle has already been taken in by Green Snake. If we bring the turtle back and extract its memory, I’m afraid Green Snake will hold a grudge in the future…”

The First Seat of Enforcement Hall glanced at him indifferently and said: “Don’t worry about it. Just capture it directly.””Demons that reach the Demon Subduing Realm must be treated well. However, they must also be made aware of the Sect’s rules with the thunder and rain. This is also a good opportunity to teach Green Snake a lesson and plant a thought in her ignorant mind: do not violate the Sect’s rules.

The two left to carry out their orders, but returned within half an hour with a shameful expression. “Senior Uncle, Turtle and Green Snake have a close relationship and are currently sleeping in Snake Valley with a restriction that we cannot enter.”

The First Seat of the Enforcement Hall furrowed her brows.

Just then, Shao Lie returned with a strange expression, returning the Turtle Shell and presenting an investigation record. He wanted to say something but hesitated.

The First Seat’s brows furrowed even more. “Speak if you have something to say. Why hesitate?”

Shao Lie respectfully said, “Elder An said that these two Spirit Talismans were made by Junior Brother Lu.”

…

Heart, liver, spleen, stomach, kidneys…

In his dream, Su He saw a diagram of a dissected turtle slowly unfolding.

Flesh, bones, tendons, veins…everything was clear. His heart beat steadily, sending fresh blood throughout his body with each pulse.

This is inside my body, Su He confirmed immediately. His intestines were moving, but his stomach was empty. He didn’t know how long he had slept, but the tiger meat he had eaten had already been digested. However, his energy reserves were too full, and he didn’t feel hungry at the moment.

Did this sleep awaken his ability to see inside his body?

Su He carefully examined himself. His bones were strong, his organs were healthy, and his little brother was very well-endowed!

As he checked inch by inch, he found a small turtle sleeping quietly in the center of his heart.

That Turtle was small but imposing, with a black shell that shone like ink, scales on its limbs, and dragon horns on its turtle head. Its sharp teeth were interlocked in its mouth.

Dragon Turtle? Tyrant Under? Mysterious Turtle? Anyway, it’s not Xuanwu. Xuanwu is a snake and a turtle.

What is this thing in my heart?

Su He was shocked. Before he could examine it further, he felt drowsy and fell asleep again.

The sun and moon raced across the sky, and the valley was quiet.

This sleep was very peaceful. He didn’t have to worry about his stomach or fear being attacked by wild beasts. This was the best sleep he had since he became a turtle.

He didn’t know how long he slept, but he woke up feeling refreshed. It was dark outside, but Su He could see clearly.

His eyes had evolved during this sleep, and he could see clearly in the dark. The sky was overcast, and it was raining lightly. It was a bit desolate.

The sand covering him had long fallen off, and he had grown bigger. The hole he had dug was now too small for him.

Based on the familiar surroundings, Su He estimated that his shell alone was at least the size of a double bed, and with his turtle head and limbs, he was a huge creature.Previously, Su He could defeat three green giant crocodiles with a single strike!

Su He looked around, the willow trees in Snake Valley were withered and yellow, and the fallen leaves filled the pond. He had been asleep for at least a month, and it was now deep autumn.

A lush giant python lay lazily at the entrance of the cave. Seeing Su He looking over, it said faintly, “You’re awake!”

Its voice was mature and seductive.

It was speaking human language.
