435 Rescuing Old Tortoise (1/2)
The giant python's body curled up slightly. It was aware of that power and began to wail in distress.
Arhat Fist Force!
Ye Lingchen's eyes flashed brightly and he delivered a punch with his fist!
Boom!
The force caused the water to explode upward by a good ten meters, as if a bomb had gone off in deep water. The giant python's head exploded, with flesh and blood ejected in every direction. Although its body was still swinging, its demise was clearly approaching.
Five minutes later, Ye Lingchen lifted the python's body out of the water and threw it on the shore. Then he looked up at Old Tortoise.
Old Tortoise's mouth was slightly ajar, and its wrinkled face looked rather humanlike in its disbelief. It was staring blankly at Ye Lingchen.
Then, it shook its head at Ye Lingchen with friendliness in its eyes. It then hummed with its mouth open.
”Old Tortoise, it's a pity that I don't understand tortoise language, otherwise I'd like to have a nice chat with you and ask if your ancestor is the Black Warrior.” Ye Lingchen smiled, walked to Old Tortoise's side, then touched its thick shell.
Old Tortoise was absolutely gigantic. When its claws were spread out near Ye Lingchen's feet, it was bigger than half of Ye Lingchen's height.
Ye Lingchen was not afraid of Old Tortoise attacking him at all. He constantly surveyed the area around the animal.
He learned how to train animals before and could easily distinguish an animal's hostility and kindness. In the same manner, he could also let the animals feel his kindness.
Ye Lingchen found the place where Old Tortoise was stuck and looked at the surrounding rocks. He then said gently, ”Stay on your stomach. I'll help to enlarge the hole and save you.”
”Huhuhu—”
Old Tortoise seemed capable of understanding Ye Lingchen's words. It nodded repeatedly and thumped its forelimbs on the ground.
”Don't panic. I've put myself out there as a prodigy and I've saved countless people by myself!” Ye Lingchen smiled and scanned the trapped areas to get a rough understanding.
He could not rely on brute force alone if he wanted to rescue Old Tortoise. Its power was much more than Ye Lingchen, and if it was unable to free itself, then Ye Lingchen would not be able to do so easily as well. Doing such things required brains, and being the prodigy that he was, the one thing Ye Lingchen did not lack was intelligence.
His Architecture not only progressed satisfactorily but even upgraded to Formation. All he had to do was find out the cave's weak point and punch a hole in it. That way, the initially unbreakable cave could be loosened, and Old Tortoise could naturally break free and escape.
Ye Lingchen walked to the side of the cave and delivered one punch toward the stone!
Arhat Fist Force!
The stone shattered immediately after a loud boom. Ye Lingchen did the same thing and struck six punches all around before stopping.
He then beckoned to Old Tortoise. ”Old Tortoise, try and see if you can come out.”
Old Tortoise uttered a response before closing its mouth tightly and shaking its body violently.
Crack!
Cracks began to appear on the walls of the karst cave. As Old Tortoise broke free bit-by-bit, the walls finally fell to the ground!
...
Back on the shore of the waterfall lake, the program crew's faces grew darker and darker.
”Director, it's been half an hour. We can't wait any longer!” Zhao Liangying's eyes were red and her voice was a little hoarse.
”This is an accident happening on a live broadcast. Didn't your program crew prepare any backup?” Hu Yue'er glared at the program crew. Her pretty face was flush with red and extremely anxious.
The director's forehead was also sweating coldly. The number of people in the live broadcast had exceeded 50 million, and the incident had turned into a big problem. He immediately said, ”It's too late to be asking for help from a search and rescue team, but we've already sent people to look for villagers who can swim. We'll have them go into the water to rescue him.”
”That's too slow. Give me an oxygen tank and I'll head down now!” Hu Yue'er said immediately.
”I want to go down too!” Zhao Liangying was sobbing.
