Do you really think you can get me with just a banana?

For a moment, everything was silent, and the valley was silent.

Yan Ruchen, who was about to go forward to help, was halfway through his run when he suddenly heard the spirit turtle talking.

That magical turtle can actually talk? ? ?

Yan Ruchen looked back at the lake. His disciples were still engaged in a fierce battle, seemingly oblivious to the sound. He turned back to look at Guan Shanyu. Although he had fallen so many times that he could no longer stand, he was still lying on the ground, coughing up blood while playing the flute. He also seemed... to have heard nothing.

He was the only one who heard it?

Yan Ruchen stood with his sword raised, looking at the spirit turtle with some confusion. But despite his doubts, he still acted quickly, ran over to help Guan Shanyu up, and asked, "How are you?"

Guan Shanyu quickly wiped the blood off his face and responded anxiously, "I'm fine, leave me alone. Those monsters are about to go into the water to harm Qingfan and the others, help stop them first!"

Yan Ruchen looked in the direction Guan Shanyu pointed and saw many horrific looking corpses pouring out of the cave entrance, approaching the lake, intending to attack the disciples in the water. He was about to rush forward, but thinking of Guan Shanyu's safety, he took a step and stopped abruptly. He turned around and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Guan Shanyu waved his hand and forced a smile, "I can't beat it, but I can still attract its attention and delay it for a while. You... after you support them, remember to come and rescue me..."

Yan Ruchen paused, looking at Guan Shanyu's bloodstained face and his forced calm expression despite being terrified. After a brief pause, he turned around and said, "Okay, be careful to avoid it."

Where can I hide...

Guan Shanyu watched him walk away without a backward glance. He glanced around, realizing there was nowhere to hide. With a wave of anxiety, he stared at the still-snarling turtle before him, wanting to buy them time but also fearing for his own life. In a flash, the turtle's attention was drawn back to Yan Ruchen's movements, and it was about to attack the disciples fighting in the lake. Guan Shanyu quickly caught his breath, raised his suona, and continued playing.

Guan Shanyu had learned this sheet music from his old notes while under house arrest in Lingcaoxuan. Luckily, he'd learned the recorder as a child, so after three days of self-study, he'd managed to play it, albeit with some difficulty. I don't know if it sounds good, but at least it works.

As expected, the moment the suona started playing, the spirit turtle became irritated and turned around, yelling at Guan Shanyu: "I told you to stop playing! You're playing so badly, I'll eat you up!"

Guan Shanyu immediately stopped and took the opportunity to quickly scan the shore. He saw that Yan Ruchen had already wielded his sword to kill many of the corpses that had escaped from the cave, and had basically stabilized his position. The disciples in the lake were still resisting stubbornly, and no casualties had been suffered. After a moment's thought, he immediately raised his suona again.

As he played, he retreated cautiously, observing where he should run if the spirit turtle pounced on him and beat him. At the same time, his other hand was free, and he fumbled in his bundle until he found the pill he wanted and held it in his palm.

At this moment, the spirit turtle was attracted by his playing again, and almost couldn't bear it anymore and shouted at Guan Shanyu. The angry roar almost shattered the entire valley, and the ground started to shake. Guan Shanyu staggered and fell, but took advantage of the spirit turtle's roar, found an opportunity, and threw the pill accurately into the spirit turtle's big mouth.

The turtle was roaring with all its might when it suddenly found something in its mouth. Surprised, it swallowed it. The pill instantly transformed into an indescribable bitterness and stench, rushing straight down its throat. It was caught off guard and, nauseated, turned around and began vomiting violently.

Guan Shanyu felt relieved upon seeing this. He had made this pill from scraps of medicine and unused scraps when he was free. He hadn't tested its toxicity, but the most important thing was that it was stinky. It was even worse than a durian stuffed with stinky tofu and smoked in a toilet for a hundred years. It was a must-have for home, travel, and even for killing people.

Fortunately, he doesn't know much serious stuff, but he has prepared a lot of this kind of black technology.

The poison pills irritated the turtle to the point of tears streaming down its face and it retched uncontrollably. Its massive body trembled violently with anger and pain, and every step it took caused the surrounding cave to collapse. Corpses fled in all directions, some tragically crushed to death by the turtle, others buried forever by the collapsed caverns.

Without the endless stream of corpses pouring up, Yan Ruchen quickly cleaned up the corpses on the shore, turned his head and looked at Guan Shanyu. Guan Shanyu also turned his head towards him and quickly gave Yan Ruchen a wink. Yan Ruchen understood what he meant and rushed forward with his sword to attack the spirit turtle.

However, despite being disturbed by the pill, the spirit turtle remained alert to its surroundings. Sensing a threat from behind, it nimbly turned before turning back, flicking its tail and sending Yan Ruchen, who was about to launch a sneak attack, stumbling backwards and falling into the water. Guan Shanyu, alarmed, fearing the spirit turtle would continue its attack, immediately picked up his suona and resumed playing. But it was too late. The spirit turtle had already seen through his intentions and kicked out with its front paw, sending Guan Shanyu tumbling off the cliff face. His bundle scattering to the ground, and his suona tumbling to the side.

The turtle stamped its foot angrily at the ground and roared toward the sky. Guan Shanyu seemed to hear it cursing, but the sound was not clear. He touched his ear and found that it was bleeding. As he did so, he caught a glimpse of the things scattered from the bag, and an idea flashed through his mind.

Damn, they brought the Immortal Rope, how could they forget this!

This was the magic weapon he had brought with him on this trip. It was specifically designed to restrain powerful demons. Once it was tied up, even if it struggled, it would be held back for a while. Guan Shanyu struggled to get up from the ground, panting as he groped for the bundle of immortal ropes. He turned his head to look at the lakeside and saw Yan Ruchen just climbing out of the lake. He shouted loudly, "Yan Ruchen!"

Yan Ruchen looked at him, but before he could focus his eyes on Guan Shanyu, he saw something thrown at him. When he caught it and looked down, he instantly understood Guan Shanyu's intention. The two exchanged glances in the air, and Guan Shanyu stepped aside, picked up the fallen suona, endured the pain, and continued to play the song that could disturb the mind of the spiritual turtle.

The turtle was enraged and roared, its chains shaking violently in anger. Although the chains gave it enough room to move, Guan Shanyu was standing in a dead corner. Seeing that it couldn't catch him, the turtle could only roar and threaten: "I will kill you! I will kill you!" Guan Shanyu was so scared that he squatted in the dead corner with his head in his hands, not daring to move.

At this moment, Yan Ruchen took the opportunity to circle behind the spirit turtle and, using the special material of the Immortal Binding Rope, silently began to entangle it. The spirit turtle's attention was completely absorbed in Guan Shanyu, so it barely noticed his movements. However, Guan Shanyu was somewhat unable to withstand the pain of the spirit turtle's sonic attack. His eardrums ached so terribly that he almost stumbled and fell to the ground. Seeing this, the spirit turtle roared angrily and raised its giant leg, ready to crush him to death.

At that critical moment, the excruciating pain Guan Shanyu expected didn't come. He looked up in surprise, only to see a white figure suddenly appear before him. His vision gradually cleared, and Yan Ruchen had already stepped forward with his sword, using his body as a shield to block the spirit turtle's fatal blow.

Guan Shanyu, anxious, glanced to the side and was surprised to find Qingfan and Suyi safely ashore. They had taken the Immortal Binding Rope from Yan Ruchen and were silently tightening the restraints on the Spirit Turtle from behind. Guan Shanyu realized it only belatedly, probably because Qingfan and Yan Ruchen had quickly completed the handover while he was staggering from the sonic boom.

Although Guan Shanyu was already exhausted, he finally breathed a sigh of relief with Yan Ruchen blocking the way. However, before this sense of relief could last, a drop of warm liquid dripped onto his face.

Guan Shanyu looked up and saw that it was Yan Ruchen's blood.

Only then did he realize that although Yan Ruchen stood in front of him and resisted the turtle's trampling with his sword, the turtle was already in a state of rage, stepping heavily on Yan Ruchen's sword, constantly exerting pressure in an attempt to crush them into meat paste. Its front claws even tore Yan Ruchen's back, but Yan Ruchen did not avoid it at all, and just gritted his teeth and fought him to the death.

The blood just now came from Yan Ruchen's body.

Guan Shanyu finally came back to his senses from his trance and realized that if Yan Ruchen continued like this, he would be exhausted. He looked around to see if there was anything around that could help.

Fortunately, there is always a way out. Guan Shanyu looked around and noticed a forgotten sword lying nearby. Although it was rusty, it could still be used. He quickly picked up the sword, used all his strength to stand up, and whispered to Yan Ruchen. Yan Ruchen turned around, and after the two exchanged glances and mouthings, Yan Ruchen immediately shouted to Qingfan and Suyi: "Go!"

Qingfan and Suyi had already wrapped the Immortal Binding Rope tightly around the turtle. Upon hearing Yan Ruchen's command, they tacitly tightened the restraints. Their magical powers surged, and the rope's power suddenly increased, causing the turtle's massive body to lose balance and stumble forward. Yan Ruchen seized this fleeting opportunity and, along with the others, attacked with swords, aiming directly at the turtle's most vulnerable points: its eyes and neck.

The sword pointed directly at the vital point of the spirit turtle, but when the sword was about to get close, darkness suddenly fell in front of everyone.
