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

After several breaths of effort, they finally managed to move the alloy plate a few meters across the grass, leaving two deep marks on the ground.

The team was quiet at this moment, everyone was tense, and they were panting heavily when they exerted themselves.

Lin Tian's face turned red as he shouted, "Don't stop! Everyone, let's work together!"

The sound was like a death knell, and the monkeys were furious, but none of them dared to resist.

Before they had gone very far, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the forest, followed by a slight tremor of the ground, as if some enormous creature was approaching.

The Asura Goddess immediately stopped, gripping her stick warily, and stared into the depths of the forest: "Something's coming?"

The Empress's soft shell stretched taut, and she was about to yell for the monkeys to hide when Lin Tian said in a deep voice, "Don't panic."

Before he could finish speaking, the dense canopy was struck by a tremendous force, causing it to sway from side to side and instantly scatter a pile of leaves.

A huge, dark shadow with bulging muscles suddenly fell from above, crashing heavily into the center of the grass and creating a crater of varying depths.

The monster's body resembled a deformed giant bull, with two sharp horns growing from its neck. Its eyes were bloodshot, as if it wanted to charge at anyone it saw and kill them.

"What the hell is this?" the Asura Goddess cursed without any politeness.

The Empress glanced at it and gasped, "Looks fierce!"

Lin Tian remained silent, staring at the strange bull and observing its movements.

The opponent clearly had ill intentions, paving the ground a few times with its front hooves, obviously preparing to launch an attack.

"Damn it, how am I supposed to fight with this broken plank still in the way?" Lin Tian knew the situation was bad.

The alloy on the ground was too heavy for the monkeys to handle; if they were to actually fight, they probably wouldn't even be able to run fast.

The Empress, holding Little Black and concerned about the dead bear, found it even more difficult to exert herself.

The Asura Goddess may be daring to charge, but if she really faces such a huge guy, the outcome is hard to predict.

While they were still in a daze, the strange bull let out a deep roar, kicked its four hooves, and charged directly towards the Goddess of Asura.

It was faster than I imagined, arriving in the blink of an eye, as if the air itself was being torn apart.

The Asura Goddess opened her eyes wide and used all her strength to sweep and block with her staff, but was forced back several steps by the force of the attack.

Fortunately, he managed to twist his back in time, preventing him from being stabbed through on the spot.

But my arm went numb, and I almost dropped the stick.

The monkeys scattered in fright, and even the ones dragging the alloy plate let go and fled for their lives, causing the cargo rack to overturn.

A bunch of vines got tangled in the patterned steel plate and slammed haphazardly to the ground, making a long, clanging sound.

Lin Tian completely disregarded the metal plate and shouted at the Goddess of Asura, "Stay away from that guy."

As soon as he finished speaking, the strange bull seemed to understand, turned around, and fiercely kicked the ground, this time heading straight for Lin Tian.

Lin Tian didn't retreat. Instead, he turned to the side and leaped into the air, slamming his tortoise shell against the cow's spine.

Two muffled thuds rang out, and the ground trembled.

Unexpectedly, this giant bull had incredible stamina. It didn't fall down after being slapped; instead, it spat out blood and foam, its sharp horns lashing out as if trying to knock Lin Tian away.

Lin Tian grunted. The tortoise shell was sturdy enough that he was not seriously injured, but his body was shaken and he was thrown back five or six feet, breaking a small tree.

"This thing is incredibly strong," Lin Tian cursed inwardly, and quickly got up.

The Asura Goddess, wiping her sweat behind her, was probably also shocked by the power: "Don't be so cocky, look how crazy it's gone."

The Empress's voice hardened with anxiety: "Think of something quickly, don't delay, Little Black is still lying there, what if he gets trampled..."

Before he could finish speaking, the strange bull stomped on the mud again, attempting to charge a third time.

Lin Tian looked around at the terrain, then saw that the alloy plate was useless lying there and was not far from the giant bull. He had a sudden idea and shouted, "Don't get close, stay away!"

He suddenly rushed to the side of the dark gold plate that had fallen to the ground, gripped the edge with his claws, and used his tortoise shell to brace himself against the tree trunk behind him, as if he wanted to use the metal plate as a shield.

The next instant, the bull's hooves thundered, and it roared like an explosion, rushing forward in the blink of an eye.

boom!

The violent impact struck the alloy plate squarely, instantly accompanied by a buzzing sound. Lin Tian felt as if his claws were almost torn apart, and the ground collapsed half a foot deep.

The monstrous bull's sharp horns pierced the metal surface, sparking as it tried to push forward, but it was no match for the hardness and weight of the dark gold plate. Finally, its neck was violently jolted backward by the impact.

Losing his balance, he cried out a few times and collapsed to the ground as if his bones were broken.

Seeing her chance, the Asura Goddess darted to the side without a word, raised her stick high, and smashed it hard against the monster's head, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

The strange bull struggled a couple more times, then stopped breathing.

The Empress carried Little Black over, and seeing that the creature was completely lying down, she let out a long sigh: "That was terrifying, it almost crushed me."

Lin Tian rolled off the alloy plate, his chest still heaving, and bloodstains on his tortoise claws, clearly indicating that he was seriously injured.

However, a surge of joy welled up in his heart: he had managed to withstand this head-on collision thanks to the dark gold plate; it was truly a close call.

The Asura Goddess slammed her stick into the ground: "This bull's strength is insane. If it weren't for the alloy plate as a shield, we would have been in deep trouble today."

Lin Tian shook the tortoise's claws and said irritably, "If you know how powerful it is, then stop whining and hurry up and clean up."

Immediately afterwards, the monkeys rushed back. Seeing that Lin Tian and the others had dealt with the ferocious beast, they cheered and crowded around.

But as soon as he got close to the cow carcass, he immediately wrinkled his nose.

The air was filled with a pungent, fishy smell, and cow blood was spilled all over the ground.

The Empress spat, "This guy's got a lot of blood in him, and his flesh is probably old too."

The Asura Goddess wiped away the splatter on her face and sneered, "Older is fine too, it'll be good for your health."

Lin Tian's gaze fell on the pair of sharp horns: "These horns are not bad. I'll collect them later; they can be used to make weapons?"

Before anyone could speak, he picked up the stone knife and began to try to remove the ox's horns.

The blade clanged and vibrated as it struck the bone, almost knocking it out of my hand.

The Asura Goddess voluntarily stepped forward and took the knife. Together with Lin Tian, ​​they managed to cut off the two sharp horns with a combination of their hands and feet. They were covered in slime and looked disgusting, but they were very sturdy.

"Eat or not eat?" Lin Tian glanced at the enormous corpse.

The Empress cautiously approached, saying, "We need to check on Little Black first, so it doesn't get choked by the smell of blood."

Seeing that the bear was still unconscious, I stroked its forehead and found that its body temperature hadn't gone down. It didn't have the energy to prepare food right now.

The Asura Goddess kicked the cow's belly in annoyance. "Forget it, it died with a strange smell. I'm too busy preparing the meat to have time for that. Let's just remember the location first and talk about it later."

Lin Tian had no objection and quickly urged the monkeys to put the alloy plates back up so they could continue their journey.

But moving it was another worry, since the impact had broken many of the vines, and they would have to be tied up again.

The monkeys were exhausted from their antics, making very slow progress, and complaints arose from the group.

The Empress, holding Little Black, urged repeatedly, "If this drags on any longer, who knows if other monsters will appear."

The Asura Goddess wiped away the cow's blood and muttered irritably, "It's really bad luck to be stuck with this piece of junk."

Lin Tian, ​​however, remained as stubborn as iron: "Since I've taken a liking to it, I can't throw it away. If it turns out to be an unparalleled weapon, wouldn't I make a fortune?"

At this point, he continued to emphasize to the Empress, "Quickly find me some herbs, or even better, gather some vines so the monkey can repair that shelf. Time is short, so get to work."

The Empress had no choice but to entrust Little Black to the care of the Goddess of Asura, while she took two monkeys into the forest to find materials.

The Asura Goddess took the still feverish little black bear and kept wrinkling her nose: "Why hasn't this bear woken up yet? What a bad omen!"

However, she still held on quite tightly, after all, it was Lin Tian's order, and she didn't want to be scolded again.
