Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 149 - 149 021 Mermaid Tribe_1

149: Chapter 021 Mermaid Tribe_1 149: Chapter 021 Mermaid Tribe_1 The stone eggs were not birthed by the Dragon Turtle, they were produced by the trees!

These locust trees somehow drew in the essence of the Dragon Turtle, consolidating some within their bodies, while others formed into stone eggs.

Su He rose high above the water, looking around to find no boundary in sight.

This place resembled a swamp, murky and dim.

Su He’s vision was obstructed here, unable to see clearly beyond a hundred miles.

The forest housed small beasts, but mostly sneaky creatures like snakes, rats, insects, and ants.

For the moment, he couldn’t find the locust tree that had pulled them in.

He couldn’t even find a single one with a human face.

If it weren’t for the fact that the returning locust trees were so tragic, it was clear that someone was commanding them.

He would have even suspected that the earlier human-faced locust tree was the culprit that dragged them in.

The place did not give Su He a good feeling, it was heavily tomb-like.

Su He even suspected that this might be the place where the Dragon Turtle had fallen.

But when a Divine God Beast perishes, it nourishes heaven and earth, surely creating a Cave Heaven and Blessed Land.

How could it be this gloomy?

These locust trees had major issues!

The Toad put away his smoking pipe and squinted at the two locust trees far away bearing stone eggs, “So the stone eggs come about this way, something related to the Dragon Turtle must be buried under those two trees?”

Otherwise, it made no sense.

“Eh?” Feng Yaya’s eyes lit up.

The three of them looked at each other, and Su He made the waves beneath him surge, carrying a person and a frog straight towards the two big trees.

In a moment, they burst out of the meteorite crater and plunged into the Locust Tree Forest.

Before the turtles arrived, the locust trees had already shrieked and fled in panic.

The two egg-laden locust trees screamed and struggled, unable to pull their roots out of the ground as if something beneath the earth was clinging to them.

The locust trees shook violently, and the two stone eggs collided in the shaking, exploding with a loud bang.

The two locust trees, along with other trees that had failed to escape in time, were all blasted to smithereens.

Su He hummed low, a wall of water formed in front of him, blocking the flying wood chips.

Amidst the water wall, screams and black smoke rose.

Silvery-white Turtle Element snakes surged and leapt into his body.

Still so eager.

Turtle Element +4

The numbers on the Bright Mirror jumped.

In the far distance, the Old Locust Tree, shortened by three segments, quivered in response to the exploding Turtle Eggs, its leaves twitching continuously.

The Dragon Turtle had suppressed it here, how could it allow it to break the sealing and escape?

Moreover, there were the Dragon Turtle’s kinsfolk, a whole tribe of Mermaids hidden around, who would also not allow it to leave easily.

These stone eggs were indeed a means of restriction.

At the beginning, the stone eggs were incubated beneath the stones, with turtles hatching and wreaking havoc in the Locust Tree Forest.

It took him a full two thousand years to slightly modify the rules of the sealing, to crystallize the stone eggs on the trees, and to disrupt the structure of the stone eggs with the aura of the locust trees, resulting in dead turtle embryos.

He then threw them into the outside world.

But one must absolutely not touch the stone eggs before they mature.

They would explode!

…

The Toad tilted his head to look at Su He, tapping his smoking pipe on his shell, “Young man, what are you doing?”

It had been several times now that he found Su He’s status off, suddenly acting as if he was cultivating.

Just raising a wall of water, was that really such a big deal?

So young, yet was this Turtle so weak?

Su He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, “Absorbing the Dragon Turtle Yuan, every locust tree here contains a thread of Dragon Turtle Yuan!”

The Toad gaped, an incredulous look on his face.

True Yuan was not such a rare thing, why hadn’t he noticed it?

He looked around, still discovering nothing, even entering a fully ethereal state with the unique perception of a Soul Beast, yet still nothing.

Turning his head, confused, he saw Feng Yaya lightly exclaim and float up from the Dragon Turtle Mountain, unsteadily rising towards the sky.

What thief dares to attack our camp?!

Su He roared, his Divine Sense sweeping out, but he found nothing.

Feng Yaya laughed, “This is so interesting, someone is summoning me.”

She suddenly felt as though a thread-like thing had attached to her, tugging her to leave, accompanied by the voice of a pleasant-sounding sister from the thread, “Benefactor, follow me…”

Su He’s heart almost leapt out of her chest, “Stop fooling around!

Refuse!

I can’t go anywhere!”

Could the summons from this eerie place be casually accepted?

“Is that so!” Feng Yaya blinked and looked down at Su He with a smile, “Big Turtle, are you afraid that if I leave, there will be no one to protect you?”

She stood proudly with her hands on her hips, I, Feng Yaya, am invincible!

Su He had no words to respond.

Feng Yaya chuckled, “Although it feels quite interesting, I have to stay with Big Turtle!

Sister, till next time!” Feng Yaya waved her hand and broke the thread, then the little figure plopped onto the Turtle Shell, bouncing once.

She laughed heartily, without a care in the world.

In a pristine body of water, a crimson mermaid girl swims rapidly towards the bottom.

As she swam, she shouted, “Granny!

Granny!

Something’s happened!”

From the dome-shaped houses on the seabed, which resembled snow huts, several mermaid guards emerged, surrounding an elderly mermaid woman at the center.

Next to them, a burly mermaid frowned and grunted, “How old are you to still be so clumsy!”

He was the Mermaid Clan Chief, the girl’s father.

The mermaid girl stuck out her tongue at him and then quickly turned to the granny surrounded by them, who was the tribe’s High Priest, a person of high virtue and esteem.

The High Priest Granny frowned slightly, “Nan Nan, I remember you were guarding the array altar today.

Did something happen to the altar?”

The mermaid girl shook her head, “The altar is fine, it’s the Sealed Land that’s in trouble.

Outsiders have mistakenly entered the Sealed Land and shattered the Old Locust Tree of Ten Li, I tried to summon them out but failed.”

The High Priest Granny’s eyes suddenly sharpened, and she swished her tail, swimming towards the surface.

Using her momentum, she leapt up high to have a look at the Sealed Land.

This was a Big Swamp—not a marsh, but more extensive than a lake, serene and peaceful.

Only in one corner, a muddy piece of marshland was covered by a sealing cover, looking dim inside.

The High Priest Granny emerged in human shape above the water, standing in midair and looking at the Sealed Land.

The ancient Sealed Land was getting bigger and bigger, not because the sealing was being strengthened, but because the thing sealed inside was expanding its territory.

Looking carefully, amidst the dark area, one can see a patch of earthy yellow, meaning the Locust Tree Forest had been destroyed.

The Divine God has perished, its followers no longer have the power to seal this Spirit Clan Demon, this being the largest destruction of the Locust Tree Forest in a thousand years.

The High Priest Granny fell back into the water, silent for a moment, then said to the Mermaid Clan Chief beside her, “Prepare the altar, I will do the summoning myself.

Anyone who can break through the Ten Li Locust Forest is a benefactor of our tribe, and we must not let them come to harm in the forest!”

To shatter the Ten Li Locust Forest, one must now surely be under attack by the forest itself, so we must act quickly!

The Clan Chief hesitated for a moment, but the High Priest Granny glared at him.

He quickly waved his hands, “Granny, please don’t misunderstand, the summoning altar at least needs one day to prepare, I’m afraid the benefactor might be in danger in that time.

How about I lead the Hunting Team to set out first, and try to break through the Locust Forest directly to see if we can bring back our benefactor?”

The High Priest Granny paused for a moment, then nodded, “Please wear our tribe’s Divine God Armor…

to protect yourself well!”

The Clan Leader nodded and left.

From underwater came the Clan Leader’s deep voice, “Hunting Teams Alpha and Beta follow me to retrieve the person, Teams Gamma and Delta guard the High Priest, do not stray an inch!”

The High Priest Granny looked towards the mermaid girl, “You return to the array altar, continue summoning, do not stop for a moment!”

It doesn’t matter if the summoning is not successful, as long as the person is still alive, there’s someone to summon.

If the spell cannot land on a specific person, then we’ll know something unfortunate has happened, and the Clan Leader can also withdraw as quickly as possible.

That Locust Tree Forest is a Divine God Sealed Land, not to be entered lightly!

…

Actually, Feng Yaya was not wrong.

Protected by a Jade Pendant and enhanced by knuckle dusters, she is the absolute main force in the team.

If anyone were to summon Feng Yaya away at this moment, they would be making a lifelong enemy out of the Turtle.

Like backstabbing!

After all, he was weak at the moment, his combat power had to be discounted.

Su He released a thread of Turtle Element from within his Mind Orifice, gradually nourishing his body.

Beside him, Feng Yaya floated up into the air again.
