Chapter Eighty-Five: The Troublesome Dry Land Turtle

  With the small butterfly, Huo Hai finally had something to do. As long as his own spiritual power recovered a bit, he would inject some into the cocoon to speed up the transformation of the small butterfly. In the past, when dealing with Gu insects, they didn't receive such good treatment.

  Fortunately, Xiao Jin and the worm won't be jealous, or else they would have been scolded to death. Without Xiao Die, Huo Hai's speed was not slowed down much. The cocoon only needs to be placed in the backpack, and Huo Hai, under the protection of Xing Huang, continued to swim upstream along the river.

  Along the way, from time to time, you can encounter some solitary blood-red dragonflies. As long as the blood-red dragonfly lets the star wasps get close, they will be knocked down by the pressure of the wasp. The powerful wasp has a natural advantage over the insects. Unfortunately, the three-eyed toad did not meet any. However, I met some striped deer that came to the river to drink water.

  After that, these antler deer became the deer horns in Hohai's backpack, contributing to Hohai Academy and contributing their own strength. The deeper they went into Miga Mountain, the more they harvested. Today's harvest has already surpassed the first day's harvest.

  At this time, Huo Hai received information about one of the targets from Xing Huang again, still without encountering that kind: "Hehe, one of the targets hasn't been encountered, it should be the drought turtle."

  Huo Hai's heart moved, and he hurriedly followed. This desert tortoise was a good thing, one desert tortoise, with at least ten or more tortoise pearls in its body. Each tortoise pearl was equivalent to a college contribution. This thing was an important auxiliary material for refining the Bone Tempering Pill. Even as an auxiliary material, its value could be compared to that of the Blood Red Dragonfly, extremely precious.

  Soon, Ho Hai saw a large black turtle. It was a big turtle, similar to the turtles on Earth, but with some differences in body shape. The claws and head had many hard scales.

  In front of him, this tortoise on land was taller than its own height, and it was unknown how many years it had lived. Of course, it's also possible that the turtles in the mainland of Tianling are growing faster, who knows. These, Huo Hai temporarily did not study.

  He knew that if he could hunt this tortoise, today's harvest would be extremely huge. "Such a big turtle, moving so slowly, should be easy to hunt, right?" Hao Hai thought silently as he looked at the giant tortoise. Everyone says that tortoises are the hardest to deal with, but Hao Hai didn't believe it, looking at its slow movements, it didn't seem reliable.

  Huo Hai immediately ordered, Xing Huang launched an attack on the drought turtle. Also in the spiritual bone boundary, the battle between the insect and the turtle unfolded like this. A large number of star moths turned into twinkling stars, flashing by.

  At this moment, as if sensing danger, the tortoise instantly retracted itself into its shell. Although the tortoise moves slowly, this action of retracting into its shell is extremely fast, so fast that Huo Hai couldn't react in time.

  "Ding ding ding......" A crisp sound rang out on the tortoise's body. Huo Hai himself took a look and found that all his Star Worms had been blocked. "Damn, not even a single gap." Huo Hai was misled by the tortoise on Earth. This desert tortoise and the tortoise on Earth were completely different. Don't be fooled by their similar appearance.

  If it were based on the theory of evolution, then in this more cruel world of Tianling Continent, the living things that can survive are absolutely stronger. The scales and armor on the tortoise's body finally knew what they were used for by Hao Hai.

  These things look useless at ordinary times, but once they shrink back into the shell, they will tightly protect the tortoise. On the surface, you can't even see a gap. It's so tight that it's even denser than fish scales.

  No matter where the Star Gu worms target, they will be blocked and not allowed to enter. As a spiritual bone boundary spirit beast, it has no attack power at all, whether it is its composition or innate talent, it has completely developed in the direction of defense.

  After this contraction, a strand of spiritual energy attached itself to the surface of the tortoise shell. In an instant, the tortoise shell became even harder. Hao Hai furrowed his brow, and for the first time, he truly understood what it meant by "tortoise shell". "Xing Huang, bite, get rid of him for me." Hao Hai was enraged. Since arriving on this continent, this was the first time he had felt so stifled. This tortoise, actually made him unable to make a move.

  Upon receiving the order, the star worms immediately began to bite. However, with the blessing of spiritual power, the turtle's hardness exceeded Ho Hai's imagination. The supposedly weakest scale position turned out to be the hardest, and the star worms were completely unable to move.

  However, on the surface of the turtle shell, there were some gaps. Under the efforts of the star worms, they were bitten down bit by bit. Once the fragments on the surface of the turtle shell fell off from the turtle shell itself, they immediately became something that the star worms could bite into.

  It's obvious that this desert tortoise's innate defensive skill is not as simple as it looks on the surface. "Really unexpected, such a thin layer of spiritual energy, yet so hard." Far away, standing on a large tree, Huo Hai looked at the desert tortoise on the ground and shook his head, saying: This kind of turtle is really something that leaves people speechless.

  If I had known, I would have let the Star Worms ambush the Dry Land Turtle. Before Ho Hai could finish thinking, a sense of danger suddenly rose to his heart. "Not good, self-destruction." Ho Hai finally thought of what the most dangerous ability of the Dry Land Turtle was.

  With a start, he hastily jumped down from the tree and landed on the back of the big tree. At this moment, a loud explosion sounded from the direction of the tortoise, and a huge shockwave swept everything around.

  The scales on the tortoise's shell had become the most dangerous hidden weapon, extremely fast and imbued with fierce spiritual energy. Completely without any rules, they burst out in all directions. Just as Hao Hai jumped down, the tree head where he was just at was already cut off by a scale. The entire tree head was split into two halves.

  The explosion compensation, but Ho Hai felt like a long time had passed. After the explosion subsided, Ho Hai carefully emerged from behind the big tree. The scene in front of him was simply chaotic, making Ho Hai's eyes widen.

  "This, this self-destruction is too strong." Even Huo Hai could see that the power of this self-destruction far exceeded the full-strength blow of a high-ranking Spiritual Realm expert. And this was just the effect of a Spirit Bone Realm tortoise's self-destruction.

  The ground was in a state of chaos, with the large trees that were relatively close by having been smashed to pieces. Even the big tree behind Hou Hai had been riddled with holes. If it hadn't been blocked by the trees in front, this tree might have already fallen over. On the ground, a huge pit had been left behind, and nothing was left at the original site. No, there were still some fragments inside the pit.

  No wonder in the past, when dealing with desert tortoises, they always targeted those that had just been born. When dealing with adult desert tortoises, a special drug must be used to knock them out before you can succeed.

  Huò Hǎi somewhat regretted, if he had bought some earlier it would have been better. It's all because those medicines were too expensive, even a local tyrant like Huò Hǎi couldn't bear to buy them. Probably, only when the academy was refining medicine would they be willing to use some.

  "Alas, this time the loss is severe." Huo Hai was extremely helpless. Once a drought turtle self-destructs, then what self-destructs is the turtle bead. The turtle bead will absolutely not leave behind even a single speck of dust. The drought turtle itself completely disappeared here. It's really unknown how these turtles could have such integrity. To so easily give up their own lives, it's truly too wasteful of their own lives.

  What annoyed Huo Hai the most was that his Gu insects, which had never suffered any losses since he started cultivating them, finally took a hit today. Some of the star Gu that had drilled into the dry land turtle shell and were closer to the turtle jade were blown up on the spot.

  After sensing it, his own Star Gu had lost over a dozen in this explosion. Over a dozen wasn't many, but it made Huo Hai understand that his Star Gu weren't invincible after all. A mere Ling Bone realm Dry Earth Turtle could kill them, who knew what kind of methods other experts had? Huo Hai's somewhat proud mindset was once again doused with a basin of cold water.

  The other Star Worms, however, did not die. These Star Worms were ultimately of a strong defensive type and still had a large amount of spiritual energy in their bodies. As long as Sun Jian could shatter the Star Worm's defenses, it was basically impossible to kill them.

  However, this explosion also knocked out hundreds of star wasps, which thoroughly made Huo Hai understand that his star wasps could not deal with the drought turtle in the same way as other spiritual beasts.

  Besides, even if you can forcibly kill the tortoise, it's not beneficial and you won't get the turtle pearl. It's said that the shell of this expensive tortoise is also very valuable, its defense is too strong.

  With a wave of his hand, the star worms that hadn't fainted were made to bring back those that had, and put them into the gourd. The star worms that had just received the shock also returned. While taking care of their injured companions, they could also rest for a while. Huo Hai casually infused some spiritual energy to speed up the star worms' recovery. Only one's own spiritual energy was most suitable for the worms, which was also a kind of helplessness.

  At this time, the Star Gu had already brought back their dead companions. The Star Gu themselves did not have any sorrowful emotions, but Hao Hai felt a bit of sadness. These Star Gu, from the very beginning, had been following their old subordinate.

  It was lost like this, causing Huo Hai to feel heartbroken. The dead Star Nailing Beast didn't have a chance to be so hard. Under the massive explosion, only its surface shell remained intact. Internally, it had already turned into a pile of scrap metal.

  The spiritual energy stored in his body had long been depleted. The remaining Jia Ke didn't know if it could be used as medicine or not. After being heartbroken for a while, Huo Hai tidied up the dead Xing Huang and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you avenge." The failure of this trip made Huo Hai furious in his heart. No matter what, he must find trouble with the Dry Land Turtle.

  The target of this action is no longer the Academy's contribution, but the tortoise on dry land.
