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

The goddess Shura rolled on the ground in agony, and DouDou's eyes revealed fear and confusion.

She had thought her body had adapted to the spiritual energy, but the sudden, sharp pain made her suspect that Lin Tian had tampered with it.

Hearing her wails, Lin Tian was utterly helpless and quickly explained, "I didn't poison you! It's because you were greedy and couldn't digest the spiritual energy of the mud carp that this happened!"

The Empress shook her head as she watched: "I knew it. Greed knows no bounds. Eating too much mud carp will cause problems."

Just then, the group of monkeys outside the cave seemed to have noticed the commotion inside and began to walk heavily toward the cave entrance.

The shadows appeared even more sinister in the moonlight.

Lin Tian quickly made a judgment: now is not the time for internal strife; they must deal with the external enemy first.

He whispered to his two younger sisters, "Now is not the time to argue. The monkey is here. We need to think of a solution first."

The Empress immediately realized what she meant and nodded: "Yes, we must unite."

Although the Goddess of Asura was in great pain, she knew that the current situation did not allow her to throw a tantrum.

She gritted her teeth and stood up, barely maintaining a fighting stance.

Lin Tian quickly thought that although these monkeys were large, they did not seem to move very fast, which might be due to their low intelligence.

He climbed toward the pile of rocks, where he remembered a loose rock that he had considered using during the day to set up the entrance to the cave.

"Second sister, go distract the monkeys, and third sister and I will use this rock to smash them."

Although the empress was frightened, she knew this was her only chance, so she immediately climbed out and began jumping in front of the monkeys to attract their attention.

As expected, the monkeys were attracted by her movements and chased after her, waving their sticks.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Tian and the Goddess of Asura pushed the rock, intending to make it roll towards the monkey troop.

Although the Goddess of Asura was still in great pain, she gave it her all in this life-or-death situation.

With their combined efforts, the two finally managed to push the large rock down.

"Boom"

With a thud, the rock struck the largest monkey in the troop, instantly knocking it to the ground. The other monkeys panicked upon seeing this, letting out sharp cries, clearly terrified.

"Haha, it seems these monkeys aren't as powerful as I thought!"

Although the Goddess of Asura was in excruciating pain, she also felt a sense of vengeful pleasure seeing her enemy fall.

however……

The monkey that had been hit struggled to its feet, moving slowly, but its injuries were not serious.

The leader of the monkey troop roared angrily, directing the other monkeys to continue the attack.

Lin Tian realized that this group of monkeys was not only organized, but also not easy to defeat.

He quickly adjusted his strategy: "We can't fight head-on. There's a small exit inside the cave. We'll retreat from there."

The three turtles quickly fled to the other side of the cave, where there was a smaller opening that they hadn't paid much attention to before, but which now became their lifeline.

The cave entrance was narrow, making it difficult for the monkeys to directly attack them with their clubs.

As soon as they crawled into the small hole, they heard the monkeys roaring and the sound of sticks hitting the ground.

The Empress glanced back and said thankfully, "Luckily, my brother is smart."

But Lin Tian knew that although the monkeys were temporarily blocked, they would eventually find another way to get in.

"We need to keep going, find a safe place, and figure out what to do when it gets light," Lin Tian said.

The Asura Goddess was still feeling unwell due to excessive spiritual energy, but she understood her current situation and could only grit her teeth and persevere.

"I thought I could beat these monkeys, I was so careless."

They continued on in the darkness, carefully navigating through narrow caves, until they finally arrived at a quiet grove.

This place is far from the cave we just left, and the surrounding trees are tall and dense, which should be able to hide their tracks for the time being.

"It should be safe here for now."

Lin Tian checked the surrounding environment and, after confirming that it was temporarily safe, let his two younger sisters rest.

The Empress sighed as she looked at the Asura Goddess, who was still in pain: "You, you're always so self-righteous."

Although the Goddess of Asura didn't want to admit it, she had indeed learned a lesson this time: "I know I was wrong, and I won't be so impulsive again."

Lin Tian didn't blame her; instead, he began to think about his next plan:

"We need to use this time to recover our strength. Tomorrow we need to find a way to go back to the cave and retrieve those mud carp. We can't let the monkeys get away with it."

The Empress nodded: "Yes, and we also need to find out why these monkeys attacked."

Although reluctant, the Goddess of Asura realized the importance of working in a group: "Alright, I'll listen to you this time."

Lin Tian was troubled. These monkeys had clearly not wandered in randomly; they had a purpose, and that purpose was likely related to something in the cave.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but become alert.

“These monkeys are organized; they don’t seem to be just wild animals from the mountains,” Lin Tian analyzed.

The Empress also realized the seriousness of the problem: "Since they were able to find us, they might also be interested in the spiritual fruits of Changbai Island."

As the goddess of asura's pain subsided slightly, she lay in the grass and scoffed upon hearing this: "Hmph, a bunch of monkeys want to eat the Everlasting White Spirit Fruit? Do they deserve it?"

However, Lin Tian shook his head: "Not necessarily, we overlooked one point before."

"Those monkeys may have some kind of ability that we don't know about, or they may be being directed by someone."

Just as they were discussing, Lin Tian suddenly realized that mud carp was the only food that could quickly restore their spiritual energy.

Those mud carp are still in the cave. If the monkeys find them, the consequences will be dire.

"We need to get the mud carp back first, otherwise we won't even be able to recover our strength tomorrow," Lin Tian decided.

The Empress agreed: "Yes, but we need to think of a way. The three of us can't defeat them by fighting them head-on."

Although the Goddess of Asura was stubborn, she knew this wasn't the time to be defiant: "Then what good ideas do you have?"

Lin Tian looked around and his eyes fell on a withered tree that had been struck by lightning: "I've got it, we can use this."

He explained, "We felled the tree, placed it at the entrance of the hole, and used the remaining branches to make a trap."

“When the monkeys attack again, we can quietly return from the other exit and then guide them into the trap.”

The Empress agreed, "Good idea, this way we can steal the mud carp."

Although the Goddess of Asura was reluctant to admit it, she knew it was a good plan: "Then let's do it this way. However, I'm not in good condition right now, so I can only help you with some simple arrangements."

The turtles immediately sprang into action.

Lin Tian and the Empress began to push the withered tree. With the strength and intelligence of the tortoise, they finally pushed the trunk down and placed it across the entrance to the cave.

Next, they set up a simple trap using branches and vines they had gathered from the surrounding area.

"This should be enough to keep them trapped for a while."

Lin Tian patted the dust off his hands.

In the darkness before dawn, they quietly returned to the small exit on the other side of the cave, preparing to carry out their plan.

Lin Tian led the way, followed closely by the Empress and the Goddess of Asura. They entered the cave quietly.

As soon as he entered the cave, Lin Tian smelled an unusual odor. It wasn't the smell of mud carp, but rather the scent of some kind of animal.
