Chapter 1650 - Black Turtle’s Plea for Help (2/2)
A snotty three-year-old ran around the old man naked, while several older children were playing around them. Suddenly, the youngest child kicked a stone and fell facedown on the ground. The older kids all screamed because under the boy were sharp stones. If he hit them, he would be seriously injured and even suffer infection.
The boy was still a bit confused. He only felt that he had floated up, and he was laughing foolishly, but the adults and older children were all scared out of their wits.
Suddenly, the boy froze in midair. An invisible force wrapped around his body, slowly lifted him, and landed him safely on the ground.
All the people were stunned. What happened? A tragedy was obviously about to happen, but why did it suddenly end?
“Is this the work of deities?!”
“Why can Erdan fly? Is he the reincarnation of a deity?”
“Oh, heavens! I’ll bring two pounds of dried fish to Erdan’s parents tonight and betroth my girl to Erdan…”
…
The villagers could not believe what they had just seen. Meanwhile, the children were clamoring with excitement around Erdan, who was sucking in his snot. To them, the way he floated just now was simply a divine tactic!
No one noticed that the corners of the old man’s mouth curved upward slightly. He yawned and fell asleep in the rocking chair again.
The shore of Dongshi was teeming with fishing boats. Some of them were moored, while others were out in the sea. Fishermen cast nets to catch fish, which was the resource they relied on.
On one of the fishing boats, a man with dark skin and strong muscles jerked at the net. Behind him, a woman with a bamboo hat was also pulling hard. The couple pulled hard at the net, but they could not pull it out of the water. They thought they might catch some big fish this time.
“Woman, pull harder! I have a feeling that we have caught some big fish! The money we make from selling these fish should be enough to send Erdan to a school in the city!” the man said excitedly.
They exerted more strength to pull the net out of the sea. Finally, they were able to see what was in the fishing net. The woman screamed as fear appeared on her face.
“Look! That… What’s that?!”
In the fishing net was not fish, but countless hands and feet that were still bleeding! Although they had been soaked in water for so long, they still looked lifelike. Obviously, they were not the hands and feet of mortals!
The couple froze with fear. They did not know what to do.
Suddenly, they turned their heads to look into the distance. There, the clear sky had grown dark and filled with rolling dark clouds. It seemed that a storm was gathering. Lightning was constantly flashing in the dark clouds, while the air was filled with the oppressive sound of thunder.
“The Dragon King is angry! Let’s get out of here and get back to land…”
The fisherman and his wife soon let out a cry of panic as waves dozens of meters high rose from the nearby sea, rushing toward them. The water was black as if filled with some terrifying beings.
The children playing on the shore all stood up, turned their heads, looked toward the sea, and saw a huge wall of water. Countless fishing boats were being smashed by the rolling water, while fishermen were swept into the waves, crying and shrieking bitterly.
The apocalyptic scene was a nightmare for this simple fishing village. For a moment, despair, helplessness, death, and all kinds of negative emotions surfaced in everyone’s heart.
Suddenly, a strong blast swept over the sea toward the shore, almost knocking the stretch of huts down.
“Ai…” At this moment, the old man in the rocking chair opened his eyes and slowly stood up. His eyes sparkled as he looked at the great wall of seawater. Looking at the humans who were caught in the waves, he sighed once again.
“Hmm… Why is it so hard for this turtle to get some sleep?” Black Turtle said, putting his hands behind his back. The next moment, a gray-green light erupted from his eyes.
With a rumble, the wall of seawater came to a halt, and the fishermen, who had been swept under the water, were pulled out by a mighty force and landed safely on the land.
In the village, the adults were in shock and did not know what was happening, while the children were crying noisily.
Suddenly, the rescued fishermen stood up and began to fight and punch each other. Their eyes were fierce and filled with rage. At the same time, a black demonic aura was spreading in the air. The villagers’ eyes were starting to get red, making them look irritable.
The old man raised his brows slightly and took a step forward. A rumbling sound rang out, and a powerful wave of air burst out of him, tearing the sea wall in half. As the waves continued to explode, body parts kept flying out of them. Suddenly, one black figure after another flew out of the water, emitting a monstrous evil demonic aura.
“Hmm? Soul Demons?” Black Turtle’s pupils constricted as he looked at the countless Soul Demons. He sighed again. “Looks like my days of sleeping are over…”
…
In Jiangdong, Bu Fang, who was looking at Xiao Ai’s map, suddenly raised his brows and rose to his feet. In his spirit sea, Gold Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger spoke at the same time, “Little Host, we have sensed Black Turtle… He is calling for help.”
