Transmigrated into a tortoise, the Empress and the Goddess became my sisters.

This thing looks dangerous. Can we really catch it?

"Go! We have to go!" Lin Tian gritted his teeth and said, "This is our chance to turn things around, we can't miss it!"

"But... how are we going to get up there?" The Goddess of Asura looked at the desert shark burrowing in and out of the sand, completely bewildered. "This thing is always under the sand, we can't hit it!"

"This..." Lin Tian was also at a loss. This desert shark was always under the sand. They couldn't possibly crawl under the sand to catch it, could they?

"Let me think, let me think..." Lin Tian stroked his chin and began to think.

"I've got it!" Lin Tian's eyes lit up. He had thought of a way. "We can lure it out!"

"Lure them out? How?" The Empress and the Goddess of Asura both looked at Lin Tian, ​​waiting for him to continue.

"Hehe, isn't that simple?" Lin Tian grinned and then pulled something out of his pocket.

"What...is this?" The Empress asked curiously, looking at the dark object in Lin Tian's hand.

"This is some jerky I got from that fire lion. It's really good stuff, it smells amazing. I don't believe that desert shark won't take the bait!" Lin Tian said smugly.

It turned out that in the previous battle, the Fire Lion was killed by Canyangzi. Lin Tian felt it was a pity, so he secretly took a few pieces of meat from its body to save for later.

Unexpectedly, it has now come in handy.

"You...you actually still keep this thing?" The Empress looked disgusted.

"This is the meat of a spirit beast, it's very nutritious!" Lin Tian said. "Would you like to try some?"

"No, no!" The Empress and the Goddess of Asura quickly shook their heads; they didn't want to eat anything right now.

Lin Tian laughed and then put away the rest of the jerky. "Xiao Hei, you wait here. I'm going to go and deal with that desert shark!"

As he spoke, he jumped off the little black bear's back and walked step by step toward the desert shark.

"Cheap brother, be careful!" the Empress shouted from behind.

"Don't worry, I won't die!" Lin Tian waved his hand without turning his head.

He approached the desert shark, took a deep breath, and suddenly threw the jerky in his hand!

"Whoosh!"

The jerky flew in an arc through the air before landing in front of the desert shark.

"boom!"

Almost at the same time, the desert shark emerged from under the sand, opened its blood-red maw, and swallowed the piece of jerky in one gulp!

"They've taken the bait!" Lin Tian was overjoyed; this was the opportunity he had been waiting for!

"Turtle Lord's Flame Breath, get it on!"

He opened his mouth wide, held his breath, and desperately tried to draw the spiritual energy from his dantian to his throat. Normally, flames should have been bursting forth, but this time, things went wrong!

"puff--"

No fire!

Only a plume of black smoke, with a pungent, burnt smell, came out of his mouth, like an eight-hundred-year-old wood-fired stove, almost knocking him over from the fumes.

"Cough cough cough..."

Lin Tian coughed violently, and in the middle of coughing, he even spat out a mouthful of blood.

Oh shit!

Great!

The previous battle with that old bastard had completely depleted his spiritual energy, and even his internal organs had suffered. The fact that he could still exhale smoke at this moment was a testament to his robust physique!

"Holy crap! Brother, are you... self-immolating?"

Later, when the Empress saw Lin Tian's miserable state of "spitting blood and emitting smoke," she was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped to the ground, and she couldn't help but shout.

"You're the one who should self-immolate! Your whole family should self-immolate!"

Lin was so angry that she rolled her eyes. This brat, can't she speak properly?

"Stop talking nonsense! Get your help now!"

He didn't have time to argue with the Empress right now. He watched as the desert shark swallowed the jerky and plunged back into the sand. If he didn't think of a solution soon, the big guy would launch a "sand raid"!

The Empress finally came to her senses. She no longer had time to complain about Lin Tian and quickly joined in with her efforts.

This girl, despite her usual delicate appearance, is still a water-type spirit turtle, and she's finally come in handy.

"Turtle Absorption Technique!"

The Empress stretched out her two little paws toward Crescent Lake, pouted her little mouth like a trumpet, and took a deep breath.

"Crash-"

The waters of Crescent Lake in the distance seemed to be lifted up by an invisible hand, rising into the air and transforming into a water dragon that flew straight toward the Empress!

"Go to me!"

With a flick of her little paw, the Empress caused the water dragon to obediently change direction and crash down towards the spot where the desert shark had just disappeared!

"Boom——"

A muffled thud, and water splashed everywhere.

The once relatively flat sandy ground was smashed into a huge crater by the water jet, with yellow sand mixed with water splashing everywhere like a mudslide.

To everyone's astonishment, apart from the mess, there wasn't a single desert shark in sight!

"I...I missed?"

The Empress was also stunned. She blinked repeatedly, hardly believing her eyes.

That's incredibly bad accuracy!

"Wow, you just happened to release the water at the right time!"

The Asura Goddess, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but cover her face. This wasn't helping at all; it was making things worse!

"Ahem, um... my mistake, my mistake..."

The Empress knew she had actually made things worse this time, so she scratched her head awkwardly and gave a sheepish smile.

"I said, it's just a piece of jerky, it's not that serious, really not. That desert shark is quite big, how could it be overwhelmed by the aroma of a piece of jerky?"

Lin was so angry he kept clicking his tongue. Was it easy for him to get a piece of jerky? It was the meat of a fire lion! Was it easy for him?

Did he have it easy?

Is it easy?

Now look what's happened! The meat is gone, and the shark is nowhere to be found. What a mess!

"We...we'd better be careful. This thing is huge. I reckon it could swallow three of us in one bite..."

The Asura Goddess couldn't care less about complaining at this moment. She pulled her head back into her shell, her voice trembling.

Before, when Lin Tian and the others talked about the desert shark, she didn't have any direct experience of it. Now that she has seen it with her own eyes, she realizes how terrifying it is.

With that build, that size, one bite from him and those small guys wouldn't even be enough to fill his teeth.

"What's there to be afraid of! We'll deal with whatever comes our way! If it dares to come, I'll spit out a mouthful of salt water... ptooey! I'll spit out a mouthful of blood and kill it!"

Although Lin Tian spoke toughly, he was actually quite nervous inside.

He's currently depleted of spiritual energy. Let alone going head-to-head with this big guy, he can't even run properly. If a fight really breaks out, he'll only get beaten up.

As they were talking, the ground suddenly trembled slightly.

"It's coming! It's coming!"

The empress gasped, her small face filled with terror.

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, a large bulge suddenly appeared in the sand beneath the feet of the Empress and the Goddess of Asura!

Immediately afterwards, with a "boom," yellow sand flew everywhere, and the desert shark burst out of the sand, its blood-red mouth wide open, and lunged at them!

"careful!"
