Chapter 506 - A Mascot (1/2)
Ou Yangming nodded and thought, ‘Looks like apart from the Insects, the other races only sent one spirit beast during the interspatial disorder.’
His heart somehow tensed up at that thought. Given that 3 spirit beasts from the Insects showed up one after another and were followed by a Sky-devouring Devil G.o.d’s follower, which obviously colluded with the Insects, they were being unbelievably generous this time.
Although Ou Yangming settled the spirit beasts and the follower, he did not believe that the powerhouses hidden in the upper realm would leave this matter at that. n.o.body knew what they would set up soon. All in all, it did not make him feel happy that those powerhouses and troubles were always thinking about him.
“Why did you set up a formation map here?” Ou Yangming asked after some thought. He stared at the giant turtle with bright eyes.
After coming to the upper realm, the giant turtle had attacked Canghai City several times but seemed quite half-hearted overall. Not to mention being compared with the Insects’ scheme, it was also far from the spirit beasts sent by the Beasts and the Birds.
Moreover, the giant turtle had intentionally set up the Aquatics Formation far from Canghai City, hence Ou Yangming was puzzled by its strange move.
The giant turtle grunted and answered, “Honorable powerhouse, I don’t intend to harm the Humans at all; I only want to sleep here…”
‘Sleep?’
Ou Yangming twitched his mouth. ‘You can lie to a ghost!’
He scoffed coldly. “You don’t intend to harm the Humans? Heh, Brother Hong, was it not this fella you encountered when you previously went against the Aquatics?”
Hong Feiyu immediately answered, “Brother Ou, it’s definitely this spirit turtle; I’ll never forget it.”
He had oddly come to this realm from the upper realm and even became Canghai City’s guardian. After fighting the Aquatics’ spirit turtle several times, he would not be confused by its aura at all.
The giant turtle revealed a bit of its shoulders and explained, “Human powerhouse, I’m only carrying out my task, but I don’t mean to invade the city at all. I always go back to sleep after an hour, and I didn’t cause substantial damage to the Humans…”
Hong Feiyu was hesitant. Even though he was rather embarra.s.sed by the spirit turtle’s words, he dared not hide anything or exaggerate the matter when he saw the questioning look on Ou Yangming’s face.
Based on the ability displayed by the spirit turtle during its standoff with the goshawk earlier, it not only possessed remarkable physical powers, but it was also extremely familiar with the water-mastery spell. Even so, the turtle never employed the spell when it fought Hong Feiyu, Ni Yinghong, and Jiang Jiumei. In a way, it had been resisting its opponents with sheer physical powers. If it actually went all-out, n.o.body could guarantee that Canghai City would be safe.
“Why are you doing this?” Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows.
The giant turtle answered without any delay, “I only came to the lower realm to get more sleep, so as long as I complete my task, I’ll have nothing to do with anything!”
Ou Yangming, Ni Yinghong, and the others looked at each other and noticed how equally puzzled they were.
“What task?”
“Give my all to attack the Humans within a decade and eliminate the Humans along the coastal area if I can.” The giant turtle shrunk its neck as though it was afraid that Ou Yangming—the human boss—would be mad. This was because it could tell that while the auras of Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk were the greatest among these powerhouses, the seemingly insignificant human cultivator was the one in charge.
Ou Yangming did not find the turtle’s answer strange because Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk received similar orders when they descended to the lower realm.
If they had not encountered Ou Yangming, they would have gone on killing sprees already. Nevertheless, both the king kong and the goshawk carried out their tasks diligently, whereas the giant turtle might really be idling on the job…
“You—why aren’t you doing it?” Ou Yangming raised another question.
The giant turtle widened its eyes and answered, “Why should I do something so tiring? It’s not as comfortable as sleeping!”
Ou Yangming and the others looked at each other. If they had not heard this themselves, they would not believe that they encountered such a lazy fellow.
They would not believe it if another spirit beast said it, but they were convinced because it came from the lazy spirit turtle.
“Since you set up a formation on this beach, are you planning to occupy this land for a long time?” Ou Yangming twitched his mouth and asked.
“This is a great place to sleep, and I only set up a formation that’ll prevent me from getting disturbed and will help me to sleep; I don’t plan to take up this place for a long time,” the giant turtle answered carefully.
Ni Yinghong asked abruptly, “How long do you plan to stay?”
“I can stay in this realm for a century. As long as I get past a century, I’ll be able to sleep here for the remaining time!” The giant turtles answered after some thought. Its eyes gleamed as if it was immersed in an incredibly joyful dream and could not extricate itself.
Ou Yangming looked at the goshawk and Multi-armed King Kong because he wanted to distinguish the validity of the giant turtle’s words.
Multi-armed King Kong stated after a brief moment, “Master, the Turtles are indeed known for being lazy. The Aquatics sent a spirit turtle, which is even the laziest fella, to the lower realm… I don’t know what they’re thinking.”
The spirit turtle glanced with fear at the king kong but thought, ‘I’m not the laziest; you haven’t seen those that are lazier than me…’
Nonetheless, its body was still under the king kong’s foot. When it sensed the enormous pressure, which could crush it at any time, it dared not say a word.
