Vol.1 – Chapter 023 – There is a turtle in the north, its color is black


Just now in Snake Valley, he didn’t realize it, but when he returned to the Crocodile Beach and sank to the bottom of the water, he found that he could breathe normally underwater, not by using the cloaca, but by breathing normally through his lungs.

Although it was not as smooth and full as in the air, after adapting for a while, the oxygen he inhaled from the water was enough for him to survive.

There was no problem with intense exercise.

He was also faster because scales grew on his limbs. They were not densely packed fish scales, but as full and sharp as those of a kirin or dragon.

Not only did they have amazing defense, but they also made a clang sound like armor when struck. These scales seemed to have a natural ability to manipulate water. With Su He’s Divine Ability of water manipulation, the water around him flowed as fast as an arrow when he moved his mind’s eye.

He could even control the water flow to leave his body. Su He could throw a water ball like a brick by flicking his hand. Although it didn’t have much power, it could be considered a long-range attack?

If he couldn’t beat you, he could also pee on you.

Now when Su He looked at himself, except for his head not turning into a dragon head and his tail still being a turtle tail, he was already seven points similar to the dragon turtle in his mind’s eye.

This was enough, there was no need to evolve further. If he turned into a dragon head, his big head would still have horns and he wouldn’t feel safe if he couldn’t retract into his shell.

The dragon tail was fine, and it seemed that it could increase his swimming speed.

The crocodiles returned from their hunting one after another.

At this time, the autumn fish were fat and not lacking in prey. Occasionally, they even caught land beasts and brought them to Su He with their howling.

After this evolution, Su He had even fewer things he could eat.

Ordinary fish and beasts were no longer edible. His sense of taste had improved too much, and he could taste the gamey smell of beasts, making it hard to swallow. Moreover, ordinary beasts contained too little energy, and he couldn’t digest them as quickly as he ate them.

Even the beasts with two quality points that he caught only tasted okay.

Fortunately, the crocodile group was huge, and he could always get three or four quality points of prey. Su He simply threw the prey with two quality points back to the crocodile group. He only ate food with three or more quality points.

Even the food with three quality points was digested the next day. Su He maintained his daily one-meal frequency.

As time passed, he adapted to his evolved body.

His acute hearing, sensitive sense of smell, and suddenly enhanced physique made the turtle at a loss.

In just three or four months, he had grown from the size of a dinner plate to the size of a double bed. This sudden leap forward needed a long time to settle and digest.

Fortunately, the turtle was never short of time.

Su He accepted offerings at the Crocodile Beach at night and crawled back to Snake Valley to sleep during the day.

The weather became cooler day by day, and the number of poisonous snakes in Snake Valley decreased by half. Different species had different cold resistance, and some snakes had already entered hibernation in their holes.

Even the Green Snake only came out to move around when the sun was sufficient during the day, and remained motionless the rest of the time.

At this time two years ago, Su He was almost looking for a place to hibernate. This year, with his scales grown, his cold resistance had obviously improved. He felt that he could still move around outside for a while and hibernate after the first snow.

The lazy sun shone, and the autumn wind blew outside the valley, making a howling sound at the entrance. A small boat descended from the clouds and headed straight for Snake Valley.

The lazy Green Snake instantly became alert and jumped onto Su He’s turtle shell. Su He watched as the flying boat slowly retreated towards the small lake.

No matter who the visitor was, leaving a way out was the instinct of a beast.

There was a tunnel under the lake, and if the situation was not right, he could flee far away.

The flying boat stopped above Snake Valley, and a transparent barrier appeared over the valley. It should be the prohibition that the fat Taoist had mentioned, guarding the Green Snake.”Green Snake friend, I am Gu Lin of the Qingyuan Sect, and I have heard that your spiritual intelligence has opened. I specially invite you to return to the mountain to cultivate.”

A female cultivator dressed as a Taoist stood at the bow of the boat, with no makeup on her beautiful face. Her tone was calm and unhurried, giving people a sense of calmness in the world.

She was a true cultivator of the Kun Dao.

Su He and Green Snake thought subconsciously.

Before Green Snake could speak, a naughty childish voice came from the flying boat: “Big Turtle, Big Turtle, open the door quickly. It’s me!”

A little one in a small red dress, waving a lotus root and white jade, jumped up and down on the flying boat.

It was Feng Yaya.

“Big Turtle! I’m here to find you!”

Gu Lin pointed her spear and the prohibition cave opened. Before she could say anything, Feng Yaya had already jumped down directly.

Gu Lin’s face changed suddenly, and her fairy sword suddenly appeared, pointing directly at Su He and Green Snake.

Green Snake was on high alert.

But Feng Yaya was shouting and laughing, and she hit Su He’s head with a thud, causing her to feel pain from the hard scales. But she laughed heartily, “Big Turtle, you’re so big!”

The taste hadn’t changed, from the plate to the big bed.

“Ang~” Su He hurriedly whispered to Green Snake, telling her that this was a friend, and at the same time, he protected Feng Yaya under him to prevent Green Snake from suddenly attacking due to stimulation.

As neighbors and friends, and being sheltered in Snake Valley for so long, Su He had an obligation to protect Green Snake, so as not to be hung up and beaten by Feng Yaya.

Two months ago, Feng Yaya’s image of wielding an alligator to beat a wolf had been deeply engraved in Su He’s mind.

Although she was small, she could easily condense spiritual talisman seals. She was a little rakshasa with magical powers and not to be trifled with.

Gu Lin hurriedly fell into Snake Valley, and her fairy sword had returned to its sheath, but her vigilance had not diminished.

After all, there were two beasts in front of her.

Especially Green Snake, who had already opened her spiritual intelligence, but she didn’t know how much knowledge she had gained from the inheritance. Generally, the inheritance only involved demon techniques and Taoist methods, and rarely involved human affairs, worldly rules.

If it did… then one had to be careful. The way of life left by the demon who left the inheritance was likely to be unsatisfactory.

“Green Snake friend, the Heavenly Mirror shows that your spiritual intelligence has opened. As an elder of the Qingyuan Sect, I am honored to test your talent and lead you to join the sect.”

Gu Lin was courteous.

Su He and Green Snake both looked at her.

Green Snake spat out her snake letter and swam down from Su He’s turtle shell, “Okay!”

Born in the Qingyuan domain, and having transformed into a human, she could only join the Qingyuan Sect. The Qingyuan Sect could not let her go out and wander freely.

From the day she opened her spiritual intelligence, someone had arranged a prohibition in Snake Valley, and Green Snake knew about it.

“Don’t worry, it’s just a test of your attributes, which will facilitate the recommendation of various sects and techniques for you to choose from.”

Green Snake spat out her snake letter, indicating that she understood. She poked out her snake tail and took out the token handed to her by Gu Lin.

The golden token had blue and black mist churning inside.

“Water and wood attributes, top talent. Congratulations!” Gu Lin congratulated Green Snake with a bow, “I suggest you join the Sword Cleansing Pool or the Evergreen Peak. The former focuses on water-based techniques, while the latter focuses on wood-based techniques, and both have popular side businesses among the disciples.”

A top talent among the demon race!

The demon race was born with unique advantages, and they could inevitably step into the Demon Subduing Realm. With a top talent, they could take a big step forward in the Demon Subduing Realm. If they had a great opportunity, they might even pursue the highest level of the Traverse Heaven Realm like the Sect Leader and his wife.

In a few hundred years, this kind of snake demon would probably leave her far behind.

Green Snake coiled up her tail, her eyes revealing a human-like pride.She turned to Su He, flicking her tongue: “Brother Gu, could you please test the talent and attributes of my Little Turtle as well? Although his luck is not good and he can’t undergo the Demon Subduing Transformation, knowing his talent and attributes as an Exotic Beast would still help him evolve more efficiently.”

“Uh-huh!” Feng Yaya immediately nodded: “Aunt Lin, please help Big Turtle test too. They say Big Turtle is a Divine Beast, and I think so too…”

Wait!

She stopped mid-sentence, glaring fiercely at Green Snake: “This is my Big Turtle!”

What an annoying long worm. We’ve only been apart for 72 days, and you want to steal my Big Turtle? I’ll kill you and eat your flesh.

Green Snake flicked her tongue, not understanding the situation. She just wanted to help her friend. Her friend was so pitiful, unable to even cultivate a human form. It might be because the Demon Morphing Fruit she ate was of poor quality, or her talent was too low to fully absorb the fruit’s power.

After spending two months together, it was time for her to leave. She wanted to help him if she could. In the future, if she had the chance, she would come back to take him as a subordinate or a Beast Pet, providing for him as a way to repay their time together during this period of ignorance.

Gu Lin smiled and handed the Token to Su He.

Su He tilted his head in thought, then reached out his claw to touch the Token.

A flash of surprise crossed Gu Lin’s eyes. This turtle seemed to have a high Spiritual Intelligence, even without consuming the Demon Morphing Fruit. Could it be that it really had the bloodline of a Divine Beast?

The moment Su He touched the Token, it turned pitch black like ink, and the sound of waves could be heard.
