Chapter 3, The White Jade Dragon Turtle
Ah, ah
Where is this going? Li He thought to himself, but he did not ask too many questions. Although he was not very familiar with the current Bai Yulong Turtle, he knew that the other party did not harbor any ill intentions towards him. On the contrary, it seemed that they cared about him, especially after the beating he had just received. It appeared to be a form of correction, but in reality, after the beating, he felt much more comfortable in his body, and his physical condition seemed to have slightly improved. The reason for this, of course, he could not comprehend. Now was not the time to ask; it would be better to wait until things settled down before inquiring.
Li He looked at the movements of the white jade dragon turtle and couldn't help but chuckle in silence, unaware that a crack had formed in the body of the white jade dragon turtle
"What kind of plate?" Li He asked, but received no answer. The white jade dragon turtle vigorously waved its arms, putting in all its effort to escape from this place
Li He was startled by the sudden sound, left speechless as he carefully discerned its source. To his astonishment, the sound was emanating from his own hand, and he struggled to shift his gaze towards it. He felt as if the white jade dragon tortoise in his hand had come to life, actually writhing on its own.
Li He wanted to escape quickly, but he felt unwilling in his heart. After all, it was the only comfort his mother had left him, and he could not bring himself to leave like this. Suppressing the fear within, he said in a trembling voice: "Who are you?"
A wall of light shrouded in white mist seemed to appear ahead, and at that moment, the dragon turtle was strenuously breaking through this barrier. After a brief moment of anxiety, Li He did not dwell on it further but instead looked back, searching for the source of the sound. The purple mist rolled and swirled, making it impossible to see clearly. All that could be seen was a beam of white light swiftly darting through the trees, as if it were chasing them or playfully teasing them.
After running at full speed for a while, Li He let out a sigh of relief. No longer running, he knew that the other party would definitely not dare to come in. The thick fog enveloped the area, making it easy to lose one's way. However, he did not care in the slightest
Hmm, let's wait a little longer. I'll go out later!" Li He thought to himself, while curiously surveying his surroundings: "Is this the desolate deep forest? There's nothing particularly remarkable here, just a bit more fog. It's easy to lose one's way!
"Young man, we must leave quickly," urged the White Jade Dragon Turtle, appearing quite flustered. Upon hearing the voice, Li He had no time to think further. He was enveloped by a mass of black mist, and the black light emitted by the White Jade Dragon Turtle transformed into a long shuttle shape. It swiftly carried away one person and one turtle into the distance.
Li He felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. Although the voice was youthful, reminiscent of a child's, it sounded rather endearing. However, at this moment, the voice only instilled terror in him, as he witnessed the old turtle, with a face full of arrogance, running around in a panic, clutching its head.
Break! The Dragon Tortoise roars!
A sound floated in, coming from afar and drawing closer. The voice was somewhat youthful, carrying a hint of mischief
The golden little beast transformed into golden light, appearing and disappearing. Occasionally, it emitted a tender, childlike voice, revealing a sense of joy and liveliness. However, for Li He, it was not an easy situation; the white jade dragon turtle was unable to remain calm, with water seeping from its body.
Buzz!
The sound grew increasingly closer, and Li He was sweating profusely from anxiety. However, he was of no help at all and lacked the ability to assist. He could only rely on the white jade dragon tortoise
However, even so, he did not dare to delve deeper into it. There was no need for that; he needed to stay alive. Even if he could not seek revenge, he had to find a way to create some obstacles for Wu Batian. Moreover, it was likely that the other party already thought he was dead, so it would naturally be more convenient for him to act from the shadows.
The speed was so swift that, given Li He's abilities, there was no room for resistance. He could only cover his head and flee, ultimately unable to escape a thorough beating. The various angles of attack and the different forms of torment were truly unbearable to witness. However, it seemed that although he felt considerable pain, no actual injuries were inflicted. This left him secretly astonished, as it appeared that the opponent was quite measured in their approach. With this realization, Li He felt somewhat reassured. It seemed that the opponent harbored no ill intentions towards him.
"Damn it, you little rascal. How did you end up here?" The white jade dragon turtle strutted on the ground, swaying back and forth. It walked upright, pointing at Li He.
"Damn it, could that broken plate really have allowed him to successfully transform?" Bai Yulonggui cursed, glancing back. A beam of golden light darted through the white mist, rapidly closing in on them.
However, Li He naturally did not dare to be the slightest bit careless; he has always been cautious and meticulous, and thus he would naturally wait a little longer
"Oh no! It hurts so much, old turtle!" A cry rang out, and Li He steadied himself, looking towards the landing spot of the white jade dragon turtle. He saw black smoke billowing from the white jade dragon turtle, directly pushing away the surrounding purple smoke, and faintly, something could be seen crawling out from that smoke. "Damn it, how dare a mere magical artifact act against me, the old turtle!"
What is happening? Li He secretly thought it was not good, as the surroundings were filled with purple mist. His mind buzzed and vibrated, and he felt a sense of dizziness and disorientation. Moreover, he discovered that a mysterious and unfathomable force was enveloping him, as if it were trying to extract something from his body
The black mist swiftly swept across the sky, eluding the eyes of ordinary people entirely. Only a few powerful individuals seemed to sense it slightly, but there are many strong figures on the continent. Every day, numerous powerful beings travel through the sky, and naturally, they do not inquire too much.
Hearing the loud call of the white jade dragon turtle, Li He anxiously looked around in a flurry. However, he did not notice anything unusual at all
"Old Turtle, I have come here seeking a chance for survival because I am being pursued by someone."
"Break, break, break it for me!" The White Jade Dragon Turtle roared, and even in its current jade stone form, it unexpectedly spewed a mouthful of fresh blood. This left Li He greatly astonished, finding it hard to comprehend.
Under the violent impact, the white mist barrier ahead finally showed signs of loosening. Then it shattered, and Li He felt a surge of joy in his heart
Let's go!" With a shout from the White Jade Dragon Turtle, the black mist enveloped Li He and the White Jade Dragon Turtle, swiftly flying away. None of them noticed a faint golden light shooting towards them at high speed. In the end, it quietly lurked within Li He's hair, unnoticed even by the White Jade Dragon Turtle.
"Who the hell dares to grab the tail of the old turtle! Damn it!" A curse rang out, startling Li Tianyi, who hurriedly threw away the white jade dragon turtle in his hand. As soon as he tossed it away, he began to regret it. After all, it was the only relic left to him by his mother, and he shouldn't have discarded it so casually.
Yiya, Yiya
The White Jade Dragon Turtle also laughed heartily, turning to laugh loudly behind him: "Damn it, go to hell with your broken plate, do you really think you can trap this turtle? Haha."
Oh no, is this a sign of the passage of life?! Li He felt his heart racing, his face turning pale. He grasped the red thread in his hand, wanting to flee! However, before he could move, a voice of anger rang out!
"Well, Lord Dragon Tortoise, have you calmed down?" There is no choice; the situation is beyond anyone's control, and one must bow down. Moreover, he vaguely feels that this Dragon Tortoise should have some connection to his mother. After all, the white jade Dragon Tortoise sculpture was left behind by his mother, and now this white jade Dragon Tortoise sculpture has come to life.
I can't believe your audacity. You truly have no fear of death. Do you think you can escape just because of the red rope in your hand? How ridiculous! That rope of yours has long been lost. The space and time here are chaotic!" The White Jade Dragon Turtle admonished, rising into the air, towering over one meter high, and struck Li He with a blow. It is worth noting that the height of the White Jade Dragon Turtle is only about one centimeter!
"Hmm? That's not right, why is the purple mist becoming even denser?" Suddenly, the White Jade Dragon Turtle exclaimed
Li He felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the red string in his hand. If he were to follow the direction of the red string, he had no idea where it would lead him, and just thinking about it filled him with dread
Hehe! Li He held the red thread in his hand, laughing heartily. He was well-prepared; this red thread was his lifeline. With it, he would not lose his direction
It is truly bizarre, exceedingly bizarre. This white jade dragon tortoise has been worn since its birth, and I have never noticed anything unusual about it. "Today! ... ..."
In fact, it was quite similar to what he had in mind. That short and stout fellow saw Li He enter the desolate forest and showed not the slightest hesitation. With a cold laugh, he left, for the desolate forest had always been a forbidden zone; no one had ever heard of anyone entering it and coming out alive, so there was no need for further thought. It was better to hurry back and report.
After a period of time, it finally came to a stop. Li He found himself standing in the midst of the grassland, which was indeed the western frontier. If he remembered correctly, this place seemed to be not far from their family ancestral home.
A beam of white light swiftly flew towards Li He, and without a doubt, it was the white jade turtle he had just thrown out. "The old turtle is furious, watch out for the old turtle! Wang Turtle Long Eight Fists! ! ! Aow aow."
Li He quickly crouched down, as the white jade dragon turtle was indeed too small. Meanwhile, the surrounding purple mist had been dispelled by a black halo, and the mysterious fluctuations that had enveloped him had also vanished
It is truly strange, could it be that those legends are all false? Or is it that I lack a deeper understanding of the reasons?
At last, in a flash of golden light, in that moment, Li He seemed to see a small creature entirely covered in golden fur, resembling a hedgehog yet somewhat different, with a small, luminous white horn on its head, radiating a faint glow
Bored and idle, he began to play with the white jade dragon tortoise in his hand. He was completely unaware that a wave of purple mist was surging towards him. It was moving swiftly, and by the time he noticed, he was already completely enveloped by the purple mist
Damn you, how dare you disturb the old turtle's sleep
What? Upon hearing this, Li He was greatly shocked. He hurriedly tugged at the red string in his hand, and indeed felt no pull at all. Unwilling to accept this, he continued to pull the red string, and what happened next made him tremble all over. He clearly remembered that the length of the string was just over 100 meters, yet it was now evidently far beyond that length.
After sitting quietly for a while, I felt that there was nothing terrifying about this place. I did not feel any discomfort in my body, nor did I sense any signs of life fading away at all
With the sound, Li He felt a tremendous impact. Fortunately, the black mist enveloped him, and he did not suffer any harm
Alright, it was you, you little rascal, who smashed it.
Yiya, Yiya
