NOVPUB"Whoo–!"
As Lin Jing entered the System Space, a loud and piercing howl suddenly erupted.
The cry came too abruptly.
It startled Li Mingwu, who was nearing the Golden Turtle, and even the Dragon Taoist, who had been standing still, suddenly changed his expression.
The Golden Turtle, disrupted as if it had just been awakened, first trembled, and then its eyes slowly cracked open a slit.
Seeing this, Li Mingwu immediately ceased to delay.
He hurriedly retreated at high speed.
By then, he could no longer bother to conceal his figure.
Seeing Li Mingwu retreating, the Dragon Taoist didn’t dare to delay either and also stopped hiding before quickly flying backward with the Cultivation Technique in operation.
Their retreat was not a big deal, but their auras were completely exposed because of it.
The Golden Turtle, which initially had only a slit open in its eyes, upon sensing their auras,
immediately opened its eyes wide.
Then, dazzling golden light burst forth from the eyes of the Golden Turtle.
In fact, not only the Golden Turtle, but also the other mythical creatures in the surroundings, were awakened by this aura.
The black and silver turtles, along with the invisible giant owls in the sky, all attacked the two men.
During their retreat, Li Mingwu was not idle.
"Explode!"
At his single word, the Formation they had quietly laid out earlier instantly burst open.
The Jade Vial within the Formation, unable to withstand its self-destruction, exploded violently.
The mythical beast essence blood inside the Jade Vial burst forth, spraying everywhere.
This sudden explosion of the mythical beast essence blood momentarily stunned the Golden Turtle and the other creatures, but it was only for half a breath.
The creatures then reacted and furiously rushed at the two men.
...
"Whoo–!"
The Golden Turtle itself let out an earth-shattering roar, the sound vast and forming ripples that spread outward in every direction.
The ripple moved so fast, that when it swept over Li Mingwu, who was relatively closer, he was left somewhat dazed by the shock.
Even the ground around them vibrated with this roar.
For a moment, the entire valley, and the creatures outside the valley, were all awakened.
After the cry, the ground continued to tremble, and numerous old turtle creatures occasionally burrowed out from underground.
In the sky,
the invisibly gathering giant owls came together, forming a large mass, even creating a whirlwind.
Seeing this, Li Mingwu’s brow furrowed tightly as he stared straight at the giant turtle.
And the Dragon Taoist couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingle.
If there were only one, or even a few of these creatures, they would not be afraid, and even if dozens appeared at once, although troublesome, they could manage.
But with so many creatures together, there were more than just dozens, it was already in the thousands.
Aside from these creatures, there was also the massive Golden Turtle, which by now had fully awakened.
By then, the Golden Turtle had already risen.
Its four legs, as thick and mighty as pillars of the heavens, supported its huge body.
As it rose, beneath the body of the giant turtle, a deep pit exuding a white light was revealed.
Just as Li Mingwu had said, beneath the Golden Turtle was a deep pit, and the Metallic Attribute Five Elements true spirit must be within it.
After standing up, the Golden Turtle lifted one foot and then turned its body, seemingly attempting to turn its massive bulk to chase after Li Mingwu and the other.
Seeing this, Li Mingwu, while rapidly retreating, called out to the Dragon Taoist:
"Let’s split up; I’ll find a way to draw the Golden Turtle away. If there’s a chance, you come back and look for the Metallic Attribute Five Elements true spirit,"
"If there’s no chance, prioritize your own safety."
With that, Li Mingwu pulled out a Talisman emitting a golden light and tossed it to the Dragon Taoist.
The Dragon Taoist didn’t waste words; grasping the Talisman thrown by Li Mingwu, he retreated even faster.
At that moment,
"Boom!"
A loud noise came, and under it, the entire ground jumped.
On the mountains surrounding the valley, the originally immensely hard ground, due to this stomp, directly cracked apart.
Many pieces of the black ground with golden and silver gleams split into sections, rolling down the mountain.
It was the Golden Turtle’s raised foot, which at that moment came down.
Though the movement of the giant turtle was slightly slow due to its size, its body was so large that this one step spanned several miles.
And.
This wasn’t even its normal walking, but while turning around.
The first foot came down, then the Golden Turtle turned its body, while lifting another foot.
Just like that.
The Golden Turtle quickly left its original position, chasing after Li Mingwu.
Seeing this, Li Mingwu could no longer care about anything else.
"Explode!"
"Explode!"
"Explode!"
Li Mingwu blurted out, causing the previously laid Formation to explode all at once.
This Formation, originally meant to lure the Golden Turtle, had to be set off early due to the relentless attacks of the mythical creatures,
to help alleviate his own pressure.
Seizing the opportunity of the exploding Formation, Li Mingwu quickly summoned his Magical Treasure, and fled at high speed.
On the other hand, the Dragon Taoist, already somewhat behind, naturally retreated even faster.
By then, he had already made a breakthrough in another direction.
All the movements of the two men were clearly visible to Lin Jing, who was in Observation Mode.
Moreover,
because the Golden Turtle was chasing after Li Mingwu, the deep pit under the turtle was also exposed under Lin Jing’s observational view.
Upon seeing the deep pit, Lin Jing directly controlled the observation view to elevate, surveilled from above, and saw a corner of the pit.
Though it was called a deep pit, it actually wasn’t very deep.
From Lin Jing’s position, he could even see half of the turtle shell exposed inside the pit.
The turtle shell was golden as well.
It was also a Golden Turtle, but this one wasn’t very large and seemed to be an immature Golden Turtle.
At that moment, the immature Golden Turtle was lying in the pit, entirely motionless despite the commotions outside.
On the back of the Golden Turtle, a sphere emitting white light was quietly floating there.
Upon seeing the sphere, Lin Jing knew.
That was the Metallic Attribute of the Five Elements spirit.
However, the Golden Turtle had just awoken and was still in a rage.
And Li Mingwu had not yet departed.
Lin Jing naturally wouldn’t carelessly appear and invite trouble.
If he were to take the Metallic Attribute of the Five Elements spirit, it would be after Li Mingwu had left and the Golden Turtle had also chased away.
Since Li Mingwu was serving as bait, why not take advantage of the situation?
......
After deploying the Magical Treasure, Li Mingwu, who was controlling it, had sped up significantly.
In the blink of an eye, he had flown a great distance.
But the Golden Turtle, after turning around, also started to exert force, and its speed was not slow either, roaring and chasing after Li Mingwu.
For a moment,
the speed of the Golden Turtle actually surpassed Li Mingwu’s.
Seeing this, Li Mingwu was also startled.
He hurriedly accelerated to his full capacity, continuing to fly forward.
Although he wanted to lead away the Golden Turtle, if it endangered him, he naturally wouldn’t want to do it.
The speed of the Golden Turtle, as well as its imposing aura, exceeded Li Mingwu’s expectations.
If its strength was to be calculated according to the realms of Human Cultivators, it would be equivalent to a Cultivator in the Solidifying Body stage. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
A beast in the Solidifying Body stage was not something he could withstand.
Li Mingwu could only flee.
However,
fortunately, the Golden Turtle didn’t seem adept at speed.
Moreover, Li Mingwu’s strength was indeed exceptional. Although the Golden Turtle chased after him, it failed to catch up with him in a short time.
Ignoring the other beasts blocking his way, Li Mingwu used the Magical Treasure to protect himself and forcefully broke through an opening, then fled.
Seeing this, the Golden Turtle also hurriedly followed.
Every step the Golden Turtle took on the ground caused a thunderous "boom boom boom."
The other old turtle-like beasts on the ground were also shaken and flipped over for quite a distance.
The Golden Turtle continued stepping forward, following Li Mingwu out of the valley.
Now,
Li Mingwu and Dragon Daoist had both fled, and the Golden Turtle had also chased out, followed by the other beasts.
The entire valley was then left with Lin Jing inside System Space and the immature, small Golden Turtle in the pit.
Seeing the opportunity was ripe, Lin Jing started to make his move.
After pinpointing the location, Lin Jing directly used Fixed-Point Teleportation, choosing a spot not far from the pit.
It couldn’t be helped.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to teleport directly into the pit, but due to the limited distance of Fixed-Point Teleportation, Lin Jing could only teleport to this spot.
This place, originally under the belly of the Golden Turtle, had no other beasts and the ground was relatively flat.
After using Fixed-Point Teleportation, Lin Jing instantly appeared at the spot he had determined.
However, just as he appeared,
he felt a dangerous aura emanating from the Golden Turtle in the pit.
The aura, although weaker than that of the giant Golden Turtle, was also extremely fearsome.
Lin Jing didn’t dare to underestimate it and immediately entered System Space right after teleporting.
After entering System Space, Lin Jing directly activated the Fixed-Point Teleportation Function again, choosing a new teleportation spot.
This time, Lin Jing chose the location right next to the Metallic Attribute Five Elements spirit on the back of the Golden Turtle.
And to grab the Five Elements spirit quicker, Lin Jing chose a spot that was less than a foot away from the Metallic Attribute Five Elements spirit.
This distance was close enough to reach out and grab it.
After preparing everything, Lin Jing used Fixed-Point Teleportation again.
"Ding!"
"System prompt: Host used Fixed-Point Teleportation, deducting one Harvest Point. Current Harvest Points remaining: 67650."
As the system prompt ended, the next moment, Lin Jing appeared right on top of the Golden Turtle.
The moment he appeared, Lin Jing felt the Golden Turtle beneath his feet react.
Then,
countless beams of golden light emerged from the back of the Golden Turtle. These beams, like tentacles, wound around as if trying to bind Lin Jing.
But at that moment, Lin Jing ignored the encircling golden light and concentrated his Soul Spirit power to envelop the white sphere.
The Five Elements spirit had no physical form and could only be transported in this manner.
After completely enveloping the Metallic Attribute Five Elements spirit with his Soul Spirit power,
the next moment, without any delay, Lin Jing again summoned the System and teleported himself into the System Space.
The teleportation force of System Space activated, and Lin Jing instantly disappeared from the back of the Golden Turtle, causing the golden beams that had wrapped around him to miss entirely.
After Lin Jing vanished, the Metallic Attribute of the Five Elements spirit also disappeared from the spot with him...
