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

Lin Tian gritted his teeth, raised the "Black Tortoise Protective Umbrella" high with one paw, and shouted with the other, "Don't just stand there, come and get closer!"

Without saying a word, the Empress pulled the stretcher closer to Lin Tian, ​​her mind full of questions: "Brother, what can you possibly block with an umbrella? This thunderstorm is so fierce, it's like the heavens have gone mad. Are we going to get struck by lightning and die?"

The Asura Goddess scrambled through the mud and water, looking annoyed: "You really think you're a god? If this lousy umbrella can actually stop floods, I'll eat this turtle shell!"

The monkeys chattered and chattered. They had been frantically climbing trees everywhere, but Lin Tian's shout startled them. They reluctantly stumbled and squeezed under the umbrella.

The little black bear remained unconscious, carried on a log by the large monkeys, being tossed and turned, a sight that was heartbreaking to watch.

Lin Tiancai was too lazy to argue with the Goddess of Asura, and secretly prayed, "System, don't let me down, let this umbrella come in handy!"

He took a deep breath, suddenly opened the umbrella, and then poured his spiritual energy into the umbrella handle.

"Open it for me!"

With a flick of its canopy, the Xuanwu Protector Umbrella burst forth with a pale blue halo, like a crystal dome, enveloping everyone within moments.

The raindrops hit the umbrella's shield, making a muffled pattering sound, but were bounced off and splashed away, never getting under the umbrella again.

Upon seeing this, the Goddess of Asura nearly dropped her jaw: "Holy crap... it can really block the rain?"

The Empress was so excited that her short legs bounced around: "Cheap brother, you're so amazing! What's the story behind this umbrella?"

Lin Tian, ​​looking incredibly arrogant, said, "Hmph, I have plenty of treasures. What's this? Did you think I was just messing around?"

He said this aloud, but inwardly he was overjoyed: "Wow, this system is awesome! It really can create a protective shield!"

The monkeys were overjoyed; they had been soaked to the bone just moments before, but now at least they didn't have to suffer in the downpour.

However, Lin Tian didn't forget another big problem: "Alright, stop being so happy. This shield can only last for about ten minutes. We need to take this opportunity to rush to a safe area!"

The Empress was dumbfounded: "Ten minutes? Is that enough? We're still far from the summit!"

"Enough with the nonsense, let's get going!" Lin Tian didn't bother to explain, opened his umbrella, and strode forward.

The Asura Goddess followed behind, muttering to herself, blaming Lin Tian for not taking out the magic umbrella sooner, which made her soak in the rain for so long.

Fearing they would waste time, the large monkeys carried the little black bear and charged forward.

The group was like a small team huddled in a bubble, running and climbing through the mountains and forests. Outside the umbrellas, the wind and rain raged, but inside, it was relatively calm.

However, Lin Tian soon discovered that most of the mountain road ahead had collapsed, with fallen rocks everywhere and muddy water flowing around, making it impossible to walk fast.

"Damn it, this road is even worse than I imagined." Lin Tianka almost slipped and fell among the rocks, his heart pounding with anxiety. "Ten minutes will pass in the blink of an eye, and we can't get very far!"

The Asura Goddess, stomping through the mud, said impatiently, "Ugh, this is terrible! I thought having an umbrella would make things smooth sailing, but it's all messed up here. This damn mountain!"

The Empress picked up a stick and poked at the ground, saying, "How about we take that side path? It doesn't feel as muddy."

Lin Tian squinted at the scene, disregarding any potential danger, and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, let's go that way! Hurry up, or the Xuanwu Protective Umbrella will expire and we'll drown!"

They turned and moved toward the path, the monkeys carrying the little black bear stumbling and following.

The little black bear was pale and whimpering, clearly in great pain. The Empress stroked its head repeatedly, her voice choked with emotion, "Little Black, you have to hold on! Don't leave us!"

The Asura Goddess, leaning on her cane, sighed, "If you're going to die, don't die on the road. Don't add to your burdens..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Tian glared at him angrily: "Shut up, you jinx!"

The goddess of asura moved her lips, seemingly a little embarrassed, but still said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more."

The dozen or so monkeys felt a chill run down their spines from this sight and quickened their pace, afraid that Lin Tian would catch them and beat them up.

Although the Xuanwu Mountain-Protecting Umbrella was powerful, as they continued to advance, the layer of dark blue light on its surface began to flicker intermittently, like a light bulb running out of power. This made Lin Tian's heart tighten: "Damn it, this thing won't last long."

They continued hopping forward for about five or six minutes when they heard a slight buzzing sound, and the blue light from the shattered umbrella diminished considerably.

Lin Tian gritted his teeth: "Don't stop, go as far as you can in these few minutes!"

The Asura Goddess was so anxious that sweat was pouring down her forehead: "How much further? We can't fly to the top of the mountain in one go. This distance looks like more than a few thousand meters!"

The Empress's voice trembled: "It's over, it's over! If the protective shield disappears, we'll be soaked to the bone by the rain, and this mountain torrent and mud will be even worse... Ah, I don't want to turn into mud!"

Lin Tian knew he wouldn't make it to the top of the mountain, but a spirit within him held him back: "As long as I can get through the most dangerous flood zone, even if it rains heavily in the middle, I won't be swept away!"

He slipped, got up again, and led the charge. His little paws grabbed a protruding rock, and he turned to the Empress and roared, "Stop dawdling! This is no joke! Forget about appearances!"

Seeing that the umbrella only had a thin layer of light left, as if it would break at any moment, the monkeys were so frightened that they ran away as fast as they could, carrying the little black bear so fast that it swayed from side to side, almost throwing it out.

Lin Tian simply reached out a paw to support himself on the corner of the wood. He could see the little black bear was burning yellow from the fever, and its body was twitching intermittently. Lin Tian frowned secretly: "Little Blackie, don't die! I'm counting on you as my henchman!"

Suddenly, the umbrella's light shield flickered intensely, as if a light bulb was about to explode, making a "buzzing" sound, and then cracked open with a snap.

The protective shield completely collapsed, and a torrential downpour immediately hit.

"Ah—" the Empress screamed. She was already terrified by the terrible weather, and now that the protective barrier had shattered, she was instantly drenched by the rain, unable to open her eyes, and felt like her soul was about to fly away.

The Goddess of Asura cursed, "Lin Tian! You ugly freak, you lied to us again! Just a few minutes?!"

Lin Tian shook the tortoise's head and gripped the handle of the protective umbrella tightly, trying to use it to block the rain, but the blue light had completely disappeared, making it a useless broken umbrella.

"Damn it, once the time is up, it becomes useless, and the garbage system will just slip away at the last minute!" Lin was so angry that he almost threw his umbrella.

But even refueling was useless; the flash flood was still rushing down, and the forest above them was teetering on the brink of collapse.

He looked up in despair, only to be surprised to find a recessed mountain wall not far ahead that could offer some shelter from the rain.

"Quick, look over there!" Lin Tian pointed with his claws, and in a flash, he led his men to hide there.

Everyone was eager to avoid getting wet for even a second longer, and they immediately agreed to move to the indentation.

That place was a space a few meters deep within the mountain wall. After putting the little black bear down, it could barely accommodate a dozen or so monkeys huddled together to avoid the rain.

The remaining monkeys had no choice but to cling to the surrounding tree trunks or lie on the rock face.

Everyone was held down by the torrential rain, like homeless disaster victims.

"This is terrible!" The Goddess of Asura wiped the rain from her face. "Is the sky trying to drown us?!"
