Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 175: Mutated Spirit Turtle: Local Monsters Are Not Very Polite
Xiao Chen is indeed not good at avoiding Jindan monsters.

But when it comes to fighting, he has never been worried so far.

So many top-notch spiritual objects are not eaten for free, and so many top-grade magic tools are not just for decoration.

Song Jingyi and Qi Xingwen, who were standing by, felt a chill in their hearts when they saw Xiao Chen taking out top-grade magic weapons one after another.

A total of ten top-grade offensive magic weapons.

Even though it hasn't been fully activated, the flashing light on it is enough to make people tremble with fear.

However, this was not the end. Xiao Chen then took out nine small yellow flags, which turned out to be a complete set of formation flags.

"Fellow Daoist Song, Fellow Daoist Qi, let's change our plan a little bit."

"The inner elixir below is useful to me. Let me get the inner elixir first, and then I will go get the turtle egg."

"I would like to ask you two fellow Daoists to help block the fluctuations of spiritual energy so as not to alarm the Jindan monster in the distance."

Normally, few people have time to deal with the overflowing spiritual power during a battle.

But when there are companions around, they can help cover up and reduce the noise, and robbery cultivators who act in groups often do this.

Afterwards, Xiao Chen used the "Acupoint Sealing and Breathing Technique" and went straight down to start setting up the Yellow Wind Quicksand Formation at the entrance of the valley.

Judging from the posture, it is clear that he intends to catch all four male turtles in one fell swoop.

Song Jingyi turned around and asked hesitantly, "Fellow Daoist Qi, isn't this too risky?"

Although the top-grade magic weapon is powerful, the Earth-Storing Spirit Turtle is famous for its defense, and this mutated monster is the best among them.

It is not easy to determine the winner, it will take at least several hours.

Although this is the edge of the Jindan monster's territory, there is a possibility of being discovered after a long time.

Especially in the evening, when the Jindan monsters become active, they might be exposed.

Qi Xingwen took out the silencer and said, "Trust Fellow Daoist Xiao. I'll go to the right and prepare."

After saying that, he first put a talisman on himself, and then went to the right side of the valley entrance to take a seat.

Seeing this, Song Jingyi also went to the left side. While arranging talismans, he secretly prayed that the battle would not last too long.

Not long after.

Four male turtles crawled out of the water one after another, preparing to return to the valley.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen decisively activated the formation. Suddenly, a yellow wind whistled, mixed with bursts of quicksand, trapping the two spirit turtles in the front.

The three-colored flying swords of wind, thunder and ice fell, separating the third spirit turtle.

He rushed directly to the last spirit turtle, raised the golden pumpkin thunder hammer and swung it around to hit it on the head.

The male turtle was attacked unexpectedly, but he reacted quickly.

He subconsciously retracted his neck, and at the same time, a yellowish light flashed on his shell, and instantly formed a one-foot-thick earth wall blocking his way.

"boom!"

The sledgehammer hit the earth wall, and yellow soil immediately splashed everywhere, but its power was also slightly weakened.

"Boom!"

Then the sturdy turtle shell completely blocked the attack, leaving only an almost invisible light mark.

With the blessing of spiritual light, this turtle shell can be compared to a top-grade defensive magic weapon.

Fortunately, Xiao Chen had anticipated this and rushed forward to land on the turtle shell.

He activated the "Nine Strengths to Move Mountains" technique and used his double hammers to attack from both sides.

In just a few breaths, he smashed dozens of hammers in succession.

Amidst the sounds of ping-pong, waves of surging spiritual energy spread around.

However, there were talismans set up in advance by Song Jingyi and Qi Xingwen to block the way.

Unless you are within a ten-mile radius, you won't be able to detect the battle here at all.

However, before the situation outside was resolved, an extremely huge figure emerged from the yellow sand.

The Yellow Wind Quicksand Formation can stop the ordinary spirit turtle, but it cannot restrain the leading mutant spirit turtle.

And its awakened innate ability is actually gigantism.

The spirit turtle, which was originally ten feet in diameter, had now expanded to ten feet in diameter.

In comparison, Xiao Chen standing below looked like a dwarf.

Then I saw the giant turtle raise its front legs and stomped down hard, completely ignoring the fact that there was another of its kind below.

what?
Xiao Chen was stunned by this operation, but it was not a big problem.

A golden light flashed at the spot, and he had already hidden dozens of feet away.

Only the unlucky one hiding in its shell below was trampled hard into the soil and buried.

The entire ground trembled.

If the shell hadn't been strong enough, I would have lost half my life.

"Hiss, what a strength."

Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed and his expression became serious.

After all, the opponent is of mutant bloodline, and the huge strength advantage brought by his body size cannot be ignored.

Even though he has some physical training, it is best not to take it head-on, but to rely on escape techniques to fight in a roundabout way.

In order to reduce interference factors, he held up the hammer to attract the attention of the mutant turtle, while using his spiritual sense to command the other magic weapons to attack the other three turtles.

This is also Xiao Chen's usual combat habit, quickly dealing with the miscellaneous soldiers first and then focusing fire on the leader.

Because of the help of the kick just now, the spirit turtle trapped in the pit fell first.

Next came the one that was surrounded and killed by the Small Three Talents Sword Formation, and was cut in half by the continuous sword energy.

Finally, under the successive bombardments of the Golden Light Pearl and the Jade Ruyi, the one in the Yellow Wind Quicksand Formation also fell down.

It only took three-quarters of an hour in total.

This efficiency is very high. If the three spirit turtles were replaced by three cultivators who have reached the great perfection of foundation building, they probably wouldn't be much stronger.

At least Song Jingyi and Qi Xingwen who were nearby asked themselves that it would be difficult for them to hold on for much longer.

But there was no joy on Xiao Chen's face, instead he became more serious.

Because this mutant turtle is a little too powerful.

Although Xiao Chen already possessed attack methods that far surpassed those of other foundation-building cultivators, he could quickly deal with ordinary foundation-building cultivators or monsters that had reached the great perfection stage.

With the help of many top-grade magic weapons, it can be said that the attack capability is basically maximized.

But the opponent is not only an earth-type monster, but also a black turtle race, and has a mutated bloodline, so his defense capabilities are also maximized.

No matter whether it was a flying sword or a bone spear, no matter whether it was Li Huo Lei or Yan Xia, they couldn't even leave a mark on it.

At the same time, it is not only extremely powerful, but can also control the rolling stones around it.

Layer upon layer of ochre-colored mysterious light emerged, making each rolling stone indestructible.

At this time, a total of twenty-seven stones had been mobilized, like twenty-seven magic weapons flying in the air, chasing and intercepting Xiao Chen.

Fortunately, Zongdi Jinguang was flexible enough. If someone else came, he would have been buried by now.

It looks like it will be difficult to kill the mutant turtle unless its mana is exhausted.

But that is obviously not realistic and would take too long.

"He's really a turtle."

Xiao Chen dodged and attacked repeatedly, but all his methods had little effect after trying twice.

This situation made him both happy and worried.

The good news is that the more powerful the mutated turtle is, the stronger its inner elixir is, and the greater the benefits you will get after obtaining it.

But the worrying thing is that it is extremely difficult to obtain the inner elixir.

In fact, it is still not too late for Xiao Chen to give up now. He can just escape directly.

Anyway, the mutant turtle can't catch up with him.

But he didn't want to let go of this inner elixir.
.
Half an hour later.

Xiao Chen decisively chose to retreat temporarily to avoid being discovered by the Jindan monster.

Then he hid in a cave not far away with the other two and began to think of new countermeasures.

In fact, it mainly depends on his own thinking, because the other two are helpless in the face of the mutated turtle.

Xiao Chen rummaged through his storage bag, thinking carefully about whether there was anything useful.

In terms of lethality, he does have several magic skills.

But it is a bit too late to start practicing from scratch now.

Fortunately, because he had not had time to go to the black market, he actually found a specially made small tripod.

There is some blood-red spirit wine left inside, which still emits a faint fragrance.

When you smell it, you can't help but want to take a sip.

This thing is a relic left by Dongfang Xingzhe, who originally wanted to use it to control Xiao Chen.

If there is anything that can deal with the mutant turtle, it must be this.

"Fellow Daoist Qi, you know more about taming monster beasts."

Xiao Chen asked, "If I want to poison that spirit turtle, is there any good way?"

Qi Xingwen was curious about what kind of spiritual wine this was.

Hearing this, he immediately held his breath: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, is this spiritual wine of yours poison?"

Song Jingyi on the side was even more shocked. He was almost mesmerized by the fragrance he had just smelled.

Now, after suddenly realizing it, he immediately realized that there was something wrong with the fragrance itself.

I didn’t expect that Xiao Chen, who was obviously a fake elixir cultivator, would carry such a strange poison with him.

He is so shrewd at such a young age... uh, so far-sighted.

Could it be that he had anticipated such a problem before he came here?

"This should also be considered poison."

Xiao Chen wasn't entirely sure what kind of blood wine it was: "Anyway, there's definitely no benefit in drinking it."

"Since you're here, take it and try it."

Qi Xingwen thought carefully after hearing this: "This spirit wine has an alluring aroma on its own, so there should be no need to add any additional attractant powder."

"But this container may need to be changed to prevent the monster from recognizing it."

Xiao Chen pressed on: "Is it that simple? Don't you need to make any other preparations?"

"I heard that monsters are also very smart, and some even have intelligence that is no less than that of humans."

"You shouldn't just drink this kind of spiritual fluid of unknown origin."

Qi Xingwen waved his hand: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, you're worrying too much. Although Foundation Establishment monsters have intelligence, except for species like foxes and monkeys, most of them are not very intelligent."

"Besides, this is deep in the mountains and there's nowhere for them to learn."

"A simple disguise is enough to fool them."

The little disguise he mentioned was to seal the blood wine in some kind of closed container, and then catch a spirit fish upstream and stuff it in.

When the mutant spirit turtle preys on spirit fish in the river, it will naturally not open its stomach to check, but will swallow it in one gulp.

Once the fish is digested, the poison will naturally leak out.

In order to prevent the spiritual fish from being missed, one person can be left to guard downstream.

"I see. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qi, for your advice."

Xiao Chen immediately adopted this plan: "In this case, let's try it tomorrow."

"If I can really get the mutant turtle, I won't want anything else except the inner elixir."

Even after being poisoned, the meat of the mutant turtle should be inedible.

But it also has shells, claws, etc. with materials.

For Xiao Chen today, he already has several top-grade defensive magic weapons, so these materials are better than nothing.

It would be better to give it to both of them so that they can put in more effort when the time comes.

At that time, let one of them guard downstream, and the other go upstream to stop the remaining spirit fish.

A two-pronged approach increases your chances of success.

However, they waited all day the next day, but the mutant turtles remained hidden in the valley and didn't come out.

Xiao Chen was a little depressed. What should he do?

You can't just throw the fish in, that would be too deliberate.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, there's no need to worry."

Qi Xingwen comforted him, "Maybe it was just frightened. After a few days of hunger, it will naturally come out again."

His judgment was correct.

After hiding for two days, the mutant turtle crawled out again and swam into the river to find food again.

Xiao Chen and the other two took action immediately, and Song Jingyi went upstream to catch another spirit fish.

First, carve a mark on it.

Then he stuffed the blood wine in the wooden bottle into his stomach and put it back into the river.

It didn't take long.

Xiao Chen, who was guarding downstream, was the first to see the spirit fish with a mark on its body.

"Friend Qi, I'm going to deliver the fish. You'll be the one guarding the place from now on."

He seized the opportunity, took the spirit fish around in a big circle, and ran back upstream.

And to be on the safe side, he also caught a different species of spirit fish.

Then they made new marks and put it into the river.

As for the original spirit fish, it has already arrived.

Xiao Chen did not waste it. He washed it on the spot and cut it into sashimi with his flying sword.

Maybe because there is no seasoning, the meat itself is average in quality, but it is extremely delicious.

This time, the feeding plan was finally successful.

Just as Qi Xingwen expected, the mutant turtle swallowed the fish along with the wooden bottle in its belly.

Of course, it also noticed the wooden bottle in the fish's belly, but it was just a piece of wood and it could be digested after eating it.

The even stranger question for it is why are there so few spirit fish today?

It turns out that nothing goes smoothly.

Maybe others could do it, but Xiao Chen was an unlucky guy, and his plan encountered some unexpected problems again.

Blood wine is very powerful, but the problem is that it is not a poison at all.

The Eastern Traveler is not going to kill people, his mission is to disrupt the rear.

So the things you carry with you are certainly free of toxins.

Its real effect is to make the user lose their mind, become possessed, and turn into a tireless killing puppet.

However, the quality of this thing is still very guaranteed. Even after such a long time, it still directly stimulated the mutant turtle to become possessed.

Not only did it grow bigger again, but it was even bigger than last time.

A pair of eyes as big as millstones, red and purple, ran wildly upstream along the river.

And indiscriminately attack all living things along the way.

Fortunately, Song Jingyi's breath-concealing spiritual liquid did not fail and successfully helped the two of them conceal their breath.

But the problem was that Xiao Chen watched helplessly as the mutant turtle ran to an area further upstream in one breath.

He waited until the evening but still didn't come back. It seems that he will never come back.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, this is actually a good thing. We can go in and get the turtle eggs directly."

Song Jingyi was more optimistic: "Anyway, this big problem has been solved."

However, Xiao Chen didn't think so: "If I let it go like this, wouldn't my blood wine be a waste?"

"I'll go over and see what's going on."
.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, you need to calm down!"

Song Jingyi advised anxiously, "Go further and you'll reach the territory of the Golden Core Monster. Don't take that risk."

"We're here to look for turtle eggs, why bother going inside?"

Xiao Chen smiled faintly: "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Song, I know what I'm doing and I won't do anything to get myself killed."

"Since you dare to come here, I am not without means to protect myself."

"You and Fellow Daoist Qi wait for me in the cave for two days. I'll be back soon."

With the Night's Sharp Blade, his life would not be in danger even if he encountered a Jindan monster alone.

Otherwise, Xiao Chen would not have agreed to such a risky thing from the beginning.

I fought with the mutant turtle for a long time before, and it took so many days to finish it.

He would feel uncomfortable if he didn't go and see the result with his own eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, then you should bring two bottles of spiritual liquid to cover up the aura."

"Well, thank you."

I walked alone north along the conspicuous traces on the ground for about three hundred miles.

Xiao Chen saw the mutant turtle lying on the ground, its stomach ripped open.

On the ground next to it, there was a faintly visible plum blossom footprint stained with blood.

The smallest "petal" is as big as a washbasin.

Surprisingly, there were no signs of any unnecessary fighting nearby.

There were no other wounds on the mutant turtle's body.

It was just a simple tear from the neck to the abdomen.

Just six feet away, there was an emerald green pine tree, intact from top to bottom.

Xiao Chen seemed to see a clouded leopard in the Jindan stage, or perhaps a hunting cat.

It jumped lightly and flexibly in front of the mutant turtle.

Without mobilizing any spiritual energy, he just swung his claws in the simplest and most ordinary way, and with his own strength, he accurately killed the enemy.

This process should be extremely fast, so fast that the mutant turtle has no time to react at all.

An inner elixir emitting black air was dug out directly and rolled onto the ground not far away.

It looked like it had been thoroughly contaminated by the blood wine.

So this smarter Jindan monster did not choose to swallow this obviously problematic inner elixir, but turned around and left.

"But I don't mind it. What if it's a little poisonous? It's still a good thing."

Xiao Chen immediately ran to the inner elixir and picked it up.

As soon as they touched, a black gas flowed along the palm of his hand, along the blood vessels and directly into his heart.

But then it disappeared without a trace and did not produce any effect.

In addition, clear black lines can still be seen inside the inner elixir, announcing that this is the inner elixir of a demon beast that has transformed into a demon.

But it doesn’t matter, because there is still a lot of spiritual power in it.

He took out a storage box from the storage bag and put the inner elixir away.

Then he raised the flying sword and removed the shell from the turtle's back.

Without spiritual power, the turtle shell became much softer and could be easily cut open with a top-grade magic sword.

Xiao Chen had just taken off the turtle shell when he suddenly felt two warm breaths hitting his back.

What followed was a kind of indescribable wildness.

He slowly turned his head and saw a huge golden tiger squatting quietly behind him.

His yellow and black fur was sleek and shiny, and his long beard was flawless white, trembling gently with his breathing. His emerald-like pupils revealed a human-like alertness and curiosity.

Even though he knew he had the Night's Edge, Xiao Chen's heart still beat faster.

At this moment, he was less than three feet away from the golden tiger.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, dappling between them, and the interweaving of light and shadow makes it seem as if even time has stood still.

The surrounding forest was also still, all sounds were blocked out, leaving only the gaze between them.

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and put the turtle shell into the storage bag.

Then he smiled and slowly extended his hand.

He gently touched the tiger's whiskers, which were actually as thick as his forearm: "Hello."

The next moment, he triggered the Night Blade and instantly became invisible.

It seems that the local monsters are not very polite.

As the saying goes, don’t hit someone with a smiling face.

How can you turn against me so quickly?

But now is not the time to dwell on this matter.

Xiao Chen took two steps at a time and hurried to get away from this dangerous place.

He used all his strength to release the golden light that spread across the earth, and ran more than a hundred miles before the transformation into emptiness ended.

Then he found a crack in the rock and hid inside.

He immediately took out Song Jingyi's Breath-Concentrating Spiritual Liquid and sprinkled it around twice.

He hid inside for a full twelve hours, and only after confirming that the Night's Edge had been restored did he return using the acupuncture point sealing and qi concealing technique.

In a cave outside the valley.

Song Jingyi and Qi Xingwen had been waiting for a full eighteen hours.

"Friend Qi, what should we do now?"

"What's the point of asking me now? Why didn't you stop Fellow Daoist Xiao at that time?"

"I stopped him. What can I do if he doesn't listen to me?"

Song Jingyi felt a little aggrieved: "But he is a fake Dan senior, what can I do?"

"How about we go into the valley and take out the turtle eggs?"

Qi Xingwen shook his head: "Based on my understanding of the Earth-Storing Spiritual Tortoise, there are at least four female turtles inside."

"I'm afraid we can't do it alone."

"Let's wait for Fellow Daoist Xiao. It will be much simpler once he comes back."

Song Jingyi opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

Finally, he sighed: "Alas, I don't know how long it will take for Fellow Daoist Xiao to come back."

In his opinion, Xiao Chen still lacked sufficient understanding of the danger level of the Wan Yao Mountains.

If you want to move around in the mountains, you must avoid danger in advance. Once you really encounter a Jindan monster, it will be too late to run away.

It’s such a pity that such a young fake Dan monk exists.

However, just as this thought appeared, a familiar voice came from outside.

"Fellow Daoist Song, Fellow Daoist Qi, I'm back."

Song Jingyi immediately emerged from the cave: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, thank God, it's great that you're back."

There is hope for the turtle egg mission again.

Qi Xingwen also jumped out hurriedly: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, are you okay?"

"Of course I'm fine."

Xiao Chen took out the tortoise shell and said, "Yes, I brought back the tortoise shell I promised to give you."

"Unfortunately, the rest of the monster meat was contaminated, so I didn't take it."

Looking at the huge turtle shell, the two of them were stunned.

Did Xiao Chen risk his life to run to the north just to get turtle shells for the two of them?
Obviously, the incident happened suddenly and was completely unexpected, so no one could say anything even if I didn't go.

However, he still took the risk without hesitation, just to fulfill that insignificant promise he had made before.

Such high moral integrity shows the true character of a gentleman - he always keeps his word and resolutes his actions!

"Let's go and get the turtle eggs out."

Xiao Chen put down the tortoise shell and smiled lightly: "It took so long to come out this time, it's time to go back."
