48 -047: Before Hibernation_1
The old Daoist gritted his teeth, and Big Zhuang leapt out with a swoosh, a single hoof smashing the Green Crocodile to the ground, flipping it motionless as a corpse.
A Three-star Beast at the same level as Lu Ming’s White Tiger couldn’t even withstand a single hoof from Big Zhuang.
After striking a successful blow, Big Zhuang didn’t return but instead flowed downstream and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The old Daoist snorted twice and said, “From here downstream for more than three hundred miles is the Green Crocodile’s territory, where there is a Seven-star Crocodile King.
It was a Beast Pet of a former Elder in Beast Valley; after the Elder’s passing, the Crocodile King took up residence here.
I have thought of my old friend and never bothered with him, but he has repeatedly harassed my turtle beasts.”
Su He blinked his eyes, listening to the old Daoist’s tone—wouldn’t they have the Seven-star Crocodile King’s meat to eat today?
That would truly be a great supplement before hibernation.
The old Daoist bared his teeth: “That crocodile has never been able to evolve to the Profound Moon Realm; it won’t be able to hold onto the Crocodile King’s position.
In the past, crocodiles followed the rules, coming here to challenge for the Crocodile King’s position.
A few months ago, a Little Yin Thief showed up from somewhere.
Without issuing a challenge, it quietly subdued the crocodiles and even slaughtered a bunch of its subordinate Green Crocodiles.”
“That Crocodile King, unaware of what got into him, doesn’t deal with the crocodile threatening his position but instead drives the crocodiles to my territory day after day to assassinate my turtles.”
Su He sheepishly shrank his neck; the more he listened to this story, the more it sounded familiar.
It shouldn’t be something he was responsible for, right?
The influence from Tinghai Lake shouldn’t reach the bottom of Elephant Water.
The old Daoist waved his hand: “No need to bother with it, a good thrashing from Big Zhuang whenever it gets itch for a fight will do.
Had I not considered the face of my deceased old friend, I’d have slaughtered it for a drink by now.
I’ve called you here today for another matter; first, run the Turtle Longevity Secret, and I’ll have a look for you.”
This was the real reason the old Daoist had traveled a great distance, coalescing his Divine Sense to bring back the camel.
The thought of staying in the small courtyard of Beast Valley was just a mechanical process.
Only this stone statue at the bottom of Elephant Water could bear the old Daoist’s Divine Sense and Telekinesis.
Strictly speaking, this was the true cultivation place for the old Daoist.
Without palaces or quiet chambers, just a pure expanse of water where his second body practiced cultivation.
The hibernation period for turtles is approaching, and many have already begun.
Otherwise, there would be even more turtles here.
It was necessary to correct his Cultivation Technique before Su He hibernated; his Turtle Longevity Secret was centered around the Demon Star, which a Divine God Beast doesn’t possess.
Su He blinked, unsure how to respond.
“Why the daze?
My time is limited; start running it quickly!”
Could it be that this turtle hadn’t learned it yet?
That wouldn’t make sense; with its extraordinary talent and understanding, had it been too lazy to learn?
Under the old Daoist’s doubting gaze, Su He obediently settled down, closed his eyes, focused his mind, and breathed deeply: absorbing Spiritual Power into his body, undergoing the Grand Circulation to transfer Spiritual Power.
The stone statue of the old Daoist pressed against the Turtle Shell, his Divine Sense penetrating deeply to observe.
And then, he opened his eyes in complete bewilderment. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Is this my Turtle Longevity Secret?
How come I don’t recognize it?
He was stunned for a while, then sent his Divine Sense in once more.
Only to withdraw it again.
He sat silently atop the Turtle Shell for a long time.
He didn’t recognize this Cultivation Technique, but he recognized the Cultivation Technique’s father.
It must have been some master who made alterations to his Turtle Longevity Secret specifically for this turtle.
The person who changed the technique was of a high Boundary Status; if the old Daoist were to do it himself, it would take at least decades.
And behind this turtle, the only real master was Su Huanian.
That spoiled little girl from three hundred years ago had become so formidable?
The old Daoist’s mood inexplicably dropped, feeling proud that the Sect had such a pillar but also melancholic for himself.
After all, he had aged, and the next generation had far surpassed him.
After completing a cycle of the Grand Circulation, Su He slowly awoke, the camel had not yet returned, and the stone statue of the old Daoist stood quietly, lost in thought.
A Crocodile sprang from nowhere, viciously tearing at a turtle as if to its death.
Seems the camel missed one.
Su He paddled his limbs, using his Water Control Divine God Power, his colossal body surged through the water to rush forward.
Fighting with a crocodile was something he was well-versed in!
This Crocodile was also a Three-star.
Su He had condensed a Heart Orifice Dao Body, roughly equivalent to a Two-star Heterogeneous Beast in terms of status.
But for beast species, once the body size reaches a certain extent, status often isn’t the only measure.
The mere diameter of the turtle’s shell was ten feet—a truly monstrous creature.
Su He’s speed was as swift as a flying stone, his turtle head retracted, then his Turtle Shell slammed heavily into the Green Crocodile.
With his huge body, along with the weight of Turtle Mountain, he sent the Three-star Green Crocodile flying.
The entirety of the crocodile’s snout collapsed, a familiar scene indeed.
The Green Crocodile didn’t seem to feel the pain as it shook off the dizziness from its head, abandoned the pursuit of the turtle, and charged at Su He.
The Green Crocodile opened its mouth, and a cluster of ice crystals condensed—forming an ice spike, sharp and penetrating, like a spear, and chilling to the bone.
Just as it was about to be launched, the huge dark turtle on the opposite side roared and a water sphere directly smashed into its mouth.
The rotating water sphere, holding onto the ice spike, slammed straight down its throat and into its belly.
The Seventy-Two Silver Needles worked like a meat grinder.
In an instant, blood mixed with guts sprayed out from the Green Crocodile’s mouth.
A Three-star Green Crocodile, even before it could unleash its skill, was subdued to death beneath the water by Su He.
The scene was suddenly unspeakably bloody.
Su He flicked his head and threw the crocodile’s corpse into the Turtle Mountain Cave Mansion, thought for a moment, and also tossed in the camel’s Crocodile, followed by a spinning dice into the cave of Turtle Mountain.
Su He didn’t check to see, regardless of the quality or the quantity dice.
With this, the food supply for hibernation was plentiful.
Hibernation was on its way, only waiting for his Dao Field to be completed.
Su He looked forward with anticipation, wondering what Divine Skills the Turtle Shell and Turtle Scales would receive after hibernation?
