Chapter 114: Shrinking Heads and Turtles
No matter how much I think about it, I won’t do such an idiotic thing. I took out a blood-replenishing pill, pinched Shadow’s cheek with one hand, and forced the medicine into Shadow’s mouth with the other hand. Haha, don’t blame me for being too violent, who made you faint?
Just as I was snickering, I suddenly grabbed the hand that I was feeding medicine with one hand, and then felt a huge pressure behind my head. I was caught off guard and was pressed onto the shadow, followed by a mian-wrapped kiss...
After a while, the shadow let me go, and said with a thief smile: "I said spider, do you want to choke me to death with pills? It seems that the person who faints should be given a liquid medicine!"
"Tsk~" I rolled my eyes, "Who made you pretend to be dizzy, I deserve it!" I said as I looked up, but I was stunned. Seeing that my expression was strange, the shadow sat up and looked in the direction of my eyes...
"This..." Shadow was also shocked.
The scene in front of us is very spectacular. The place we are in is a large and outrageous ice cave. The whole thing we see is a vast white ice color. Behind us is a pool, and the waterfall above is where we come out. The cave is completely closed, without a light source, but extremely bright. Of course, what surprised us was not this unreasonable scene, but the dense ice turtles in front of us. They are also white, almost integrated with this white cave, so we did not notice it in an emergency just now.
"So many ice turtles... there are at least five or six hundred! How can we get over?!" Shadow was a little worried. After finally getting here, she encountered such a dense level 75 ice turtle. As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four legs. Even if Bai Ze and Tong Xiyaya are added, our chances of winning are basically almost zero.
"I think it's weird." I frowned at these scattered ice turtles. "Their formation seems messy, but there are some rules to follow. Moreover, after we have been down for so long, we have entered their alert range, but they have shown no signs of attacking us. It is not normal..."
"Anyway, call Yaya and the others back first!" Shadow said and took Yaya back, then released it. I also brought Tong Xi and Bai Ze to my side.
"Boss, I was rushed to a strange place just now." Bai Ze reported to me urgently as soon as he appeared, "It was a closed cave at the bottom of the lake. I felt that it was empty, so Tong Xi took me into it. I thought it was an exit, but who knew that it was a secret room inside, some of which were only one or two years old. He said that he was arrested by Xuanwu after accidentally entering the Xuanwu ice cave. And every month Xuanwu would take a girl away from the middle, and then the girl would never come back. They all said that she was eaten by Xuanwu... As a sacred beast, he didn't expect that Xuanwu would do such a careless thing. Boss, when he saw Xuanwu, he would definitely let me kill him!" Bai Ze gritted his teeth and looked murderous.
"..." We were all speechless. We had never seen Bai Ze so seriously.
Finally, Yaya spoke and said with some doubt: "Bai Ze, you have not reached the mature body yet, how could you defeat Xuanwu?"
"It's hard to say that Bai Ze can't beat him alone, so it's hard to say that we join forces." Tong Xi said leisurely on the side when he heard this. This was the first time he called Bai Ze's name without calling him an idiot dog. It was a miracle.
"That's me too." Yaya excitedly joined in.
"..." Shadow and I were speechless.
"Ahem!" I cleared my throat, "Do you ask for your master's consent before making a decision?"
"Boss, are you against me?" Bai Ze immediately became anxious when he heard my words, and his voice also increased eighth. "Those little girls are so pitiful. We can kill human warriors without hesitation, but our holy beasts have unwritten rules and we must not kill human civilians, those little girls..."
"Okay!" I stopped Bai Ze's nagging, "I didn't say I wouldn't let you fight Xuanwu, but the biggest problem at the moment is how we pass here." As I said that, I pointed to the ice turtle in front of me.
Tong Xi, Bai Ze, looked in the direction I pointed, and was shocked, "The turtle formation with its head shrunk!" Bai Ze shouted.
A drop of sweat fell from several of us at the same time, and the turtle formation with a shrunk head? This name... is so spoof!
"What is this?" I asked with a funny look at Bai Ze, whose eyes were lit.
"I remember that when the Holy Beasts gathered a long time ago, Xuanwu once showed it to us, saying that he had developed a formation that was almost invincible in defense, which was composed of 540 ice turtles, but he had not named it yet, so he asked us to name him. I laughed at him for being timid at that time. The formation he gave him was called the "Tortoise Tortoise Array". He also formed a bond with him. That guy was very stingy and couldn't make a joke."
"...This is not the point. Do you know how to break this formation?" Bai Ze, the guy, said and then went off topic.
Bai Ze shook his head, "Xuanwu is a stingy man, suspicious person. How could he tell us his secret? I only know that these turtles can't be killed, but I just don't know how to break the formation."
"Oh--" I sighed and walked towards the turtle formation with a shrunk head.
"What do you want to do?" Shadow grabbed me with a nervous look on her face.
I spread my hands and said, "As for the formation, there is always a way to crack it. I will experience it myself. Maybe I can find its weakness."
"I have a guess about its weakness, but I don't know if it is accurate." Bai Ze said hesitantly.
"Let me tell me." I looked at Bai Ze curiously. It was called the beast of wisdom after all. Although it was very idiotic before, maybe it might become smart as soon as it explodes...
Bai Ze glanced at the turtles and said, "Xuanwu said that this formation must be commanded by someone. As long as we find the commander and kill it. The turtles have very stupid heads. If no one commands, they will definitely be in chaos. Then we will have a chance."
Shadow and I looked at each other in confusion, Shadow pointed out the grammatical problem in Bai Ze's words: "Bai Ze, you said that turtles are stupid, what about that commanding turtle? They are also stupid? How can it command that if that happens?"
"Ah?" Bai Ze scratched his head embarrassedly, and we were sweating profusely. As expected, this guy still couldn't rely on him!
"Ah--" Bai Ze's hand scratching his head suddenly stopped, screamed, and then looked at the turtles nervously. The murderous aura in his eyes became stronger and stronger. "Indeed, this formation requires human command, and the turtles are all very benzene, but there is an exception - Xuanwu, it is not stupid."
"You mean, the commander of Xuanwu?!" I looked at this formation in surprise. Hundreds of turtles were exactly the same, nothing special. Although I had never really seen Xuanwu, I also knew that Xuanwu was not a turtle, and it was impossible to look exactly the same as a turtle.
"How could Xuanwu be mixed in the middle of the turtle and not be discovered?" Shadow said the question in my heart.
"This... I don't know either. After all, every holy beast has its own secret skills. This kind of secret is generally not told to others..." Bai Ze's head was full of sweat. It was embarrassing that he was picked out of so many problems when he showed his wisdom for the first time.... Alas, I just blamed him for following a master who was too treacherous, which made him not have any chance to show it...
"Oh, I'll go and see it myself after talking for a long time!" I shook my head and walked forward helplessly.
"I will protect you!" Bai Ze posted next to me with love.
"I'll go too." Shadow also stood beside me and said to Yaya: "You are watching outside. If there is anything wrong, find a way to rescue the hostess."
"I understand!" Yaya nodded obediently.
"No need!" Tong Xi, who had been silent, said, "I will save my master, Yaya should be responsible for the shadow!"
"Damn! What are you doing? Isn't it necessary to separate from life and death?" I rolled my eyes at each of them one by one, and jumped into the range of the turtle formation with a light leap...
Before my toes landed, the turtle below moved. All the turtles did the same thing - retracted their heads and limbs and tails, leaving only a white turtle shell on the ground, with a total of 540 turtle shells arranged in an odd pattern.
There was no turtle attacking me. As soon as I landed, I raised the ghost killer and scratched the nearest turtle with a bow blade. After a thunderous sound of metal clashing, the turtle in front of me remained motionless. The white turtle shell looked like flawless glass, extremely transparent, and no scar left.
I frowned, and the shadow also came over. He naturally saw the scene just now. He raised the Shura Sword without hesitation. With a sixteen-combo attack, his signature attack action, after a ping-pong sound, the turtle was still silent, and even a forced blood reduction symbol did not appear.
I looked at Shadow in horror and looked at the turtle. I knew the attack power of Shadow very well. This combo can definitely kill a monster of about level 55 in seconds. Although this one is level 75, it can't be a drop of blood without deduction. It's too weird!
"I don't know what will happen if we walk over like this?" Shadow held the Shura Sword tightly and looked at the road not far away.
"Uh...we will be besieged!" I also glanced at the road close to me and said guiltily.
We looked at each other tacitly and were about to step forward together. A white shadow had already jumped over before us. It was Bai Ze!
"Drink!" Bai Ze shouted loudly, and quickly stepped on the backs of several turtles and rushed towards the opposite side. Bai Ze was extremely fast, and he almost rushed through the range of the formation in just a little more than a second. At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
