Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 268 - 268 19 Slaying the Bifang_1

268: Chapter 19: Slaying the Bifang_1 268: Chapter 19: Slaying the Bifang_1 “Mu Tong!” the Feng Jiuming called out.

The Kylin’s body immediately lit up with a radiant glow, and beams of light fell upon the various beasts.

Blessing, expulsion, health, purification…

The White Tiger, on the verge of death, murmured nonsensical terms, which were likely curses.

The blessings bestowed by the Kylin were most effective against curses.

With each blessing cast, the little Kylin tilted its head, eyes filled with confusion.

She didn’t sense any trace of a curse.

The only oddity was that Dragon Turtle, which remained there as if it had been frightened.

The Kylin then bestowed several blessings in succession upon the Dragon Turtle.

Still, there was no trace of a curse.

In fact, each of the Four Spirits’ bloodlines is unique and each possesses capabilities against curses.

The Dragon Turtle excels in defense and is naturally fearless of curses—its True Blood becomes a warrior.

She looked towards Su He, uncomprehending.

Though Su He’s heart was not tumultuous like stormy waves, it nevertheless surged intensely.

The terms the White Tiger had muttered were not curses at all!

They were the names of many Divine God Beasts, Tiger Type Divine Beasts!

Su He hadn’t been serious about studying in her previous life, but she had played many video games, and had come across Lu Wu and Kai Ming Beasts in more than one game.

Zouyu…

also called Zouwu, she had seen in a movie, and it was quite cute.

However, the Zouwu in that movie was rather weak.

So, it’s not that there were no Tiger Type Divine Beasts.

Could it be that there were no records?

Was it erased by some mighty force?

Like the Hexagrams?

The erasure within the Hexagrams wasn’t thorough, merely wiped from the middle and lower tiers—at least the Dragon Turtle Tribe had a detailed introduction to the Hexagrams.

The Dragon clan must have them too, for Yunmeng Ze even holds the Dui Gua.

To erase all records of Tiger Type Divine Beasts.

Su He did not believe anyone could achieve such a feat.

Divine Beasts are unlike any other.

The heritage of Divine Beasts does not follow a father-to-son lineage.

An ordinary beast that consumes a Demonic Fruit has the chance to activate the corresponding Divine God Beast Bloodline and embark on the path of a Divine Beast.

Even if all the Tiger Type Divine Beasts were killed, future generations would still have Tigers embarking on this path.

Once they embarked, it would be impossible not to be discovered.

Thus, the problem with the Tiger Type Divine Beasts arises from the very root.

There simply are no Tigers that can prove themselves as Divine Beasts.

Even the Four Spirits have no record of this!

That means the span of time is no mere million years.

Which one of the Four Spirits doesn’t have an ancient old-timer who has lived for over a million years?

Even among the common Divine Beasts, there is no shortage of ancient old-timers who have lived millions of years.

Su He couldn’t figure it out, merely speculating on thin air, unable to guess the exact reason.

She would wait for Uncle Luo and the others to wake from their shell-breaking, and then she could ask them.

Su He returned to her senses, only to see a Kylin gazing at her with a tilted head.

“Thank you!

I’m fine,” Su He said to Mu Tong.

The little Kylin jumped in surprise, retracted its neck backward, and instinctively started to retreat, but feeling it impolite, it said weakly, “No, no need to thank.”

As the White Tiger disintegrated, the Array that surrounded them vanished without a trace.

Su He messaged Meng Xuan through telepathy: “Seventh sister, do you know where the Stalactite is located?”

This being the Dragon clan’s territory, asking Meng Xuan was bound to be correct.

Meng Xuan feigned sudden realization and asked secretly, “For my great-niece?”

Before Su He could reply, she already sent the information: “Head straight towards Starfall.

With your original speed, a flight of two to three months would bring you to a giant palm-shaped mountain.

The Stalactite is in the center of that mountain.”

Su He looked towards where the Dragon’s tail pointed in the sky; there, only a single star could be seen, which seemed as though it might fall, trailing a slender tail as it plummeted towards the earth.

However, it appeared fixed in the sky, not moving in the slightest.

“Thanks, seventh sister!” Su He replied.

Meng Xuan waved her paw nonchalantly: “Why thank your own family, brother?

Just remember to bring me along next time you haunt the music halls,” she teased with a raised eyebrow.

“The Stalactite must be refined immediately after harvesting to remove the Dragon Qi within, or its Quality would suffer and the effects would be greatly reduced,” she warned.

Su He nodded in gratitude.

He knew this already, having done his homework before the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice.

He had everything clearly understood.

With a slap of her paw, a Flying Boat appeared, set upon the waves, and ascended.

As the Flying Boat rose, it headed straight for the location Meng Xuan dictated.

This Flying Boat was a gift from Azure Dragon Qing Cang before the Dragon Divine God Sacrifice when paying respects to the elders of the Dragon clan.

It was an empty frame without pavilions or towers, completely bare and lacking any functions—its key feature was its speed.

It greatly compensated for Su He’s slow flying speed.

What would have taken three months was now a half-day’s journey with the Flying Boat, that too only when powered by Spirit stone crystals.

If Su He were to drive it with True Yuan, the speed would likely be even faster.

But as a Dragon Turtle out in the open, one needs to be self-protective; you never know what might happen next, and having plenty of True Yuan is the assurance of safety.

With the demise of the White Tiger, all sorts of beast roars erupted amongst the Divine Beasts.

Some were curious about what kind of being the White Tiger was; others wondered why there had been an Array.

But no one came forth to ask; they weren’t fools.

Since there was an Array, the incident with the White Tiger clearly involved the affairs of the Four Spirits.

Knowing too much about certain things isn’t always beneficial.

The Divine Beasts scattered, each in search of their own fortune, all the while wary of fellow Divine Beasts.

The rules within the Dragon Gate are unique, marked by the traces and Tao Rhythm left by the Dragon Ancestor.

External Divine Beasts can’t monitor this area.

It’s not unprecedented for Divine Beasts to have died during past Dragon Divine God Sacrifices.

But the Heavenly Material Earthly Treasures born here are truly one-of-a-kind, unavailable for purchase with abundant Spirit stones in the outside world.

Some treasures could even elevate Divine Beasts to new heights.

Not to reach the level of the Four Spirits, but getting infinitely close is certainly possible.

This is the reason the Divine Beasts tirelessly participate.

Those who are familiar with each other and fully understand each others’ backgrounds form teams, traveling in pairs or groups of three.

A Feathered Eye Chicken, with flapping wings, flew to neither too high nor too low an altitude.

With every beat of its wings, its double eyes would spin wildly.

It was unclear whether it was using these special eyeballs to observe its surroundings or to remove the feathers stuck to them.
