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

Lin Tian was already on the highest level of excitement, and he didn't take the rolling mudslide seriously at all. It was as if he dared to tamper with the sky, so why would he be afraid of a mere flash flood?

But the reality is far from pleasant. The raging floodwaters, carrying mud, sand, and rocks, surged down the mountainside like a demon.

The booming sound made the monkeys huddle together.

"Ugly freak, stop yelling! If the mudslide gets even worse, we'll all be finished!"

The Asura Goddess stomped her feet and roared behind Lin Tian. She wished she could crawl into a tortoise shell and seal herself off.

"Brother, what's the point of your jinxed mouth?! Hurry up and think of a solution!"

The Empress was so anxious that she was pacing around in circles. She hadn't even prepared the tortoise shell yet, and she was almost ready to kneel down and beg the heavens to stop making trouble.

Lin Tian swung his claws into the air: "Shut up! Since I dare to shout, I have my own methods! Just wait and see!"

Actually, Lin Tian was also terrified, but he was stubborn and refused to back down.

Besides, he had just swallowed a high-grade Qi Luck Pill in one gulp, and the arrogance of "I am the chosen one" hadn't faded yet!

He made up his mind—since the system is secretly backing him up, he'll do it even if it costs him his life!

As a result, his act of pretending really fooled the two brats quite a bit.

The Empress and the Goddess of Asura exchanged a glance, then reluctantly took two steps back, letting Lin Tian stand at the front.

As they retreated, the monkeys quickly followed suit, keeping a considerable distance from Lin Tian, ​​fearing that he might do something crazy that would cause them to be swallowed up.

As Lin Tian watched the churning mudslide getting closer and closer, he thought to himself that if they could really stop the flood outside the cave, at least everyone could save their lives.

But then I thought about my own physique—don't be fooled by how sturdy my shell is now, it still can't withstand a head-on collision with a mudslide. If I really crashed into it, wouldn't I be turned into a boiled turtle?

But then he thought again, "Whatever, with the system's protection, I might survive if I rush out, and maybe even gain some divine power? I might even get a good item!"

He grew increasingly agitated and directly told the Empress and the Goddess of Asura, "Don't move! Wait for my news! No one is allowed to run around until I give the order!"

"What...what are you doing? Are you out of your mind?!" The Goddess of Asura jumped up and down in a panic.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Lin Tian tossed his head. "If I really die, you two can live on your own!"

After saying that, Lin Tian rushed out without hesitation, leaving the Empress and the Goddess of Asura looking at each other in disbelief, cursing angrily:

"That ugly freak is up to something again! She's such a worry!"

Regardless of what they thought, Lin Tiancai shrank back and rushed to the cave entrance in one breath.

In their line of sight, the brownish-yellow torrent, like a wild horse, was rushing toward the cave.

When Lin Tian suddenly saw the scene, his legs went weak, but in a moment of impulse, he steeled himself.

"If I could hide, I wouldn't be Lin Tian. Today, I'm going to go all out!"

He gritted his teeth, squatted down, and shouted, "Turtle shell power, hold on!"

It gripped the rock wall next to the cave entrance with its claws, forcefully assuming a posture of leaning against the cave and facing the flood with its torrent.

"boom--"

The mudslide, carrying tremendous force, crashed into Lin Tian's tortoise shell in an instant. It felt like a tank crashing head-on into a concrete block. The huge impact made Lin Tian's head buzz, and he almost vomited acid.

But he felt a surge of excitement inside, thinking to himself, "Luckily, my shell is tough enough! If I go any harder, let's see if you can kill me?"

"Ugly monster! Don't die!" the Asura Goddess screamed from behind.

"Brother, please come back soon!" the Empress cried out, her voice almost breaking into tears.

"What's all the noise about? I'm not dead yet!" Lin Tian gritted his teeth, his back being battered by the mudslide, barely holding on. He was almost ready to give in, but he didn't want to lose face; how could he possibly back down on the spot?

At this moment, a strange heat surged through Lin Tian's body, as if a divine force was supporting his body, making him feel like he had been given a shot of adrenaline, and he didn't want to collapse at all.

Lin Tian immediately understood that this was the effect of the high-grade Qi Luck Pill taking hold!

"Wow, this is truly a high-end product; it's practically cheating!"

Lin Tian gritted his teeth and steadied himself, his blood boiling. "Give me another surge of power! Let me burst this damned flash flood!"

He braced himself against the mudslide like a circus performer, but the force of the impact was no joke. Several times, it knocked Lin Tian's claws off his feet, almost dragging him into the water.

Fortunately, at crucial moments, he always managed to grab onto a crevice in the rock and hold on to prevent himself from being swept away.

The monkeys inside the cave witnessed this scene and were so frightened that they huddled together, their heads pressed close together, a sight that filled them with terror.

It took them a while to remember to throw stones out, but by then it was like throwing a few sesame seeds—completely useless, as the torrent didn't stop at all.

"Damn it, this can't go on like this!"

Lin Tian cursed under his breath, the turtle shell was already burning hot from the impact, and his limbs were trembling slightly.

"Either find a way to split this torrent so it doesn't all block my way, or... or I'll be swept away!"

He was so anxious that his mind was full of all sorts of chaotic thoughts, but he couldn't come up with a solution for the time being.

But then the system suddenly chimed, making his expression light up: "Finally, you've shown yourself?"

But the system still didn't make a sound; only a line of small text floated by.

[Congratulations, host, you have entered a life-or-death state. Your divine power is increasing significantly. Please maintain your limit!]

Lin Tian rolled his eyes on the spot: "Damn it, you want me to maintain this? I'm about to die, and you're still talking about a significant improvement!"

But then I thought that I was currently surging with superhuman strength, so maybe I could actually do something?

The more Lin Tian thought about it, the more promising it seemed. He gritted his teeth, gripped the rock beside him tightly with his claws, and used his tortoise shell to withstand the fiercest waves. He silently channeled his divine power, preparing for a powerful strike.

"Break!"

He suddenly slammed the rock to the side, forcefully loosening a huge boulder next to the cave entrance, and then pushed it outwards!

"Crack... Boom..."

With the rock pushed away, the torrent lost its barrier and instantly burst through a slanted crevice, flowing directly towards the side of the mountain.

It's like a river suddenly branching off and abruptly changing direction.

"Hahaha, it's done!"

Lin Tian was both surprised and delighted, feeling that the impact had instantly lessened considerably, at least it wasn't as terrifying anymore.

He took the opportunity to step back a few steps, allowing the turbid torrent to continue its rampage from the side.

The Asura Goddess and the Empress inside the cave stared in disbelief: "This ugly monster... it can actually divert the floodwaters?!"

Upon seeing this, the monkeys cheered and jumped for joy, clapping and leaping as if Lin Tian were a deity descended to earth.

Lin Tian was not happy. He discovered that although the flood had created a main road, a lot of muddy water was still flowing towards the cave.

Although the cave was located at a relatively high altitude, it couldn't withstand the continuous flooding.

If this continues, the cave will be flooded sooner or later.
