Chapter 111: Chapter 111 Muscle Turtle Looking for Trouble

The hunters who were closely monitoring the situation saw Chen Qing’s stance and immediately prepared to lend a hand.

However, Gao Yue stopped them.

"Zhuyu, you go help."

Chen Qing’s current state seemed a bit off, it would be better for them not to get involved.

Gao Yue was extremely sensitive to people’s emotions, which is why she managed to attract so many Transcendents among the survivors and be on good terms with them.

"Alright."

Qiao Zhiyu nodded her head, her help might as well be no help, considering her recent string of bad luck.

The aura’s enhancement was almost as if it was nonexistent.

She even wondered if she had somehow offended Tai Sui recently.

From a distance, the Muscle Turtles roared in unison, abruptly bursting from the water, leaping high, swinging their iron fists direct at Chen Qing, launching an attack.

Under the moonlight’s glow, their faces were extremely fierce and ferocious, coming at her from all directions.

However, Chen Qing’s expression remained unchanged as she gently stroked the long blade in her hand, her eyes suddenly grew cold, and the blade trembled, emitting a chill light, using various parts of the ship as fulcrums, it swept out like a silver wind band.

The clang of the blade against the turtle shell echoed in the night sky, Chen Qing moved with incredible agility, far beyond what the Muscle Turtles could match, rendering them unable to touch her.

Often before their fists could land on Chen Qing, her figure had already disappeared, and their heavy iron fists mercilessly fell upon their companions.

The blade light rippled out like waves.

Her every slash was extremely precise, where the edge passed, the Ninja Turtles’ turtle shells, like kites with broken strings, detached and flew off, landing on the ground and breaking into two halves.

The Muscle Turtles awkwardly tried to dodge, but they could never escape the shadow-like blade light.

For a moment, the Muscle Turtles cried out incessantly, like drenched chickens, scrambling in all directions.

Chen Qing turned her body, sweeping with the blade edge—Muscle Turtles were struck flying, either falling on the deck or into the water. In a blink, none were spared.

Looking at the turtle shells bobbing in the water, Chen Qing sheathed her blade and stood firmly on the deck.

She did not kill them; these Muscle Turtles were employees of the Deep Blue Newspaper. She was not certain of the situation.

Moreover, if she could make use of such a large group of Muscle Turtles during the event...

"Fantastic!"

The survivors and Hunters on the Deserted Island witnessed this spectacular scene and began to applaud.

The Muscle Turtles, dizzied by Chen Qing’s beating, came to their senses to the sound of enthusiastic applause, only to feel emptiness on their backs.

They stiffly turned their heads, and their turtle shells, which should have been on their backs, had vanished!!

"Wahhhhh!!!!"

"???"

Chen Qing was shocked, her eyes widening slightly as she took in the scene before her.

She saw a group of brawny, muscular, fierce-looking Muscle Turtles erupting into a thunderous wail, clutching at their shells and crying inconsolably, streaming with snot and tears.

Their gazes towards Chen Qing were as if she were some sort of ultimate villain.

Their expressions were exactly like that of the previously encountered small Muscle Turtle.

The only one not crying was that small Muscle Turtle; it was snickering.

But it couldn’t laugh for long, as the two large Muscle Turtles next to it saw it laughing instead of crying, and one of them gave it a punch.

"..."

Feeling a sharp pain on its head, the little Muscle Turtle pursed its lips and burst into tears with them—ow, it hurt so much, wuwuwu—

The crying of the group of Muscle Turtles was as annoying as a cursed sound, filling people with irritation.

The scariest part was that because of their crying, fish actually started to surface in the sea.

Experienced Hunters identified at a glance that those were Fake Fish.

Truly a terrifying sound.

"Stop crying."

Chen Qing rubbed his swollen head, the exhaustion from studying those advanced blueprints had been significant.

Now, the torment brought on by their clamor made it even worse.

However, the Muscle Turtles showed no sign of stopping. Qiao Zhiyu secretly approached one of the Muscle Turtles and whispered.

"Keep crying, and Chen Qing will chop you up and turn you into turtle soup."

"Do you know what turtle soup is? It’s a great tonic, after eating it our physique will skyrocket. With so many of you turtles, and such well-developed muscles, it’d definitely be even more nutritious."

"..."

Qiao Zhiyu’s voice was not loud, but all of the Muscle Turtles heard her, and their cries came to an abrupt halt.

"Is that for real?"

An indigenous Gem Hunter couldn’t help asking.

"Of course."

Qiao Zhiyu nodded emphatically, just as Chen Qing picked up the small Muscle Turtle and walked away.

The Muscle Turtles looked towards the direction Chen Qing had left in terror, their mouths wide open.

Are they really going to make turtle soup!?

Qiao Zhiyu laughed to herself, they were so easy to deceive.

They weren’t cannibals; they simply couldn’t bring themselves to harm a bunch of turtles that bore no significant difference from humans.

Chen Qing certainly wouldn’t do so either; even she had that much of a baseline, let alone Chen Qing.

Moreover, these turtles were backed by the Deep Blue Newspaper; anyone wanting to lay a hand on them had to weigh the consequences.

The Muscle Turtles wanted to flee, but they had nowhere to go; Gao Yue had the surrounding sea area tightly locked down with her thunder and lightning.

If they made any slight movements, they would surely draw out that scourge within.

If only they had known better than to try to deceive others!

Regret filled the Muscle Turtles as they clutched their shells, becoming sadder by the thought but not daring to cry out loud. Everyone was waiting for Chen Qing’s reaction.

The group of Gem Hunters truly believed Chen Qing had gone to make turtle soup. They wondered if they might get a taste.

A few minutes later, the cabin door creaked open again, and Chen Qing held something in her hand.

"Is it turtle soup??"

A Gem Hunter asked quietly.

Upon hearing this, the Muscle Turtles shuddered in unison.

Regret, sincere regret.

"Clang—"

Something was slammed hard onto the deck, creating a loud noise.

The Muscle Turtles dared not look, fearing it was the head of the small Muscle Turtle. Would they be next??

But they were mistaken.

What Chen Qing had dropped on the ground rolled up and got back onto its feet from the deck.

In the faint light, they could clearly see the turtle shell on the small Muscle Turtle.

In the cold moonlight reflecting off the shell, various mechanical components were embedded in the shell, securely rejoining the halves that had previously split. Along the turtle’s back were new metallic patterns that complemented the shell beautifully.

Under the moonlight, the cold light circulated, the icy mechanic components blended flawlessly with the shell as if this was a natural part of the Muscle Turtle, sleek and powerful.

The shell reflected a silvery glow, where life and machinery fused perfectly, creating an oddly beautiful aesthetic.

The Muscle Turtle slowly opened its red mechanical eyes, as if it were a hybrid of machinery and life, possessing mysterious powers and wisdom.

"!!!"

Holy mackerel! The Muscle Turtle was a heavily modified mechanic turtle! Even its eyes were replaced!!

The Observation Team hiding underwater excitedly distorted the news and broadcasted it once again!
