217 Pan’s Turtle Shell Part 2 (1/2)

There were magic patterns grown naturally on the giant turtle’s shell, and they were layered and giving off a dark green color. The shell along its belly had six thick magic patterns that split the shell around the belly into six parts. Nailisi’s eyes could look past the meaning of these magic patterns. They were a ground-type magic as strong as Pan’s rock.

Nailisi grasped the Dragon’s Tooth Dagger in her hands. There were not many things that could not be pierced through by this dagger. However, the turtle’s shell was almost three meters thick, and even a heavy sword might not have been able to cleanly pierce through it. Moreover, the magic patterns on the turtle shell provided incredible defensive power, and any means that Nailisi had used in the past would no longer be effective.

The thick tail of the giant turtle was covered in armor and it almost seemed to be a metal body part, possibly even tougher than the outer armor of a fully constructed puppet.

Its tail was facing downwards and was blocking the weak point of its body. The giant turtle lifted its head and the reflective scales on its neck scrunched up, making a loud metallic noise. Nailisi saw that between the giant turtle’s neck and its shell, there were many magic symbols. They had been formed naturally, and only when the giant turtle scrunched its head within its shell would these magic symbols be activated, releasing the powers of the ground-type magic and completely sealing the turtle’s shell.

If she missed on her first try, even if the giant turtle did not retaliate, so long as it retracted its head and sank into the sea, Nailisi would not be able to do anything.

The pressure deep in the sea would be too strong, and Nailisi’s body was definitely not as tough as the turtle’s shell.

This was tough. Even above the turtle’s eyes was a layer of transparent skin. This skin seemed even tougher than the skin of the tiago. Nailisi was not confident she would be able to pierce through.

Just as she was contemplating how she could get closer, from the surface of the distant sea, a giant arrow flew over. The sound it produced was almost like a fire-type spell that had lost control, and there were a series of explosions above the surface of the sea which created large waves.

With a loud boom, the arrow which was as thick as an arm impaled itself into the turtle’s skull. The sharp arrow was horrifyingly heavy. Nailisi kicked with her legs as she approached the back of the giant turtle. She saw dozens of spots of light in the distant sea which were rapidly approaching. They were humans dressed in shark skin.

The giant arrow had not pierced through the turtle’s skull and had only left a shallow mark on its head. However, the incredible impact had left its head twisted.

Ang… ang…

The giant turtle started making strange noises. It was the first time Nailisi had seen a creature like this making noise. Luckily, she had made her way behind it, or else she would have been exposed.

The lights approached, and the surfaces of these bodies were glowing. They had put on giant flippers and the shark skins covering their bodies were filled entirely with magic patterns. When they swam, they were several times faster than a boat.

These people each had a long metal spear in their hands, and the tip of each spear was an unusual triangle shape without any grooves on it, but there was a small hole on every slanted side.

The giant turtle angrily spat out a ball of yellow gas and the five people in front were instantly enveloped in the gas, their bodies immediately turning into stone. A few water arrows emerged from the giant turtle’s nostrils. They were a few times thicker than the arrow that had struck it, and the water arrows quickly came apart in midair, forming a giant water net and trapping the rest.

The others did not seem to be affected by the deaths of their comrades and they twisted their bodies as two of them escaped from the water net. The metal spears in their hands spun rapidly as they released them, straight towards the giant turtle’s eyes.

The giant turtle had four eyes, and before its transparent eyelids could close, the spears had pierced through its eyeballs.

Fresh blood spewed out from the back ends of the spear. This was magic equipment meant for killing large prey. The hole at the tip of each spear produced a massive suction that immediately sucked clean any liquid within the eye sockets of the giant turtle. The triangular spear tip was nested within the skull and its eyeballs were crushed. Fresh blood ceaselessly flowed from its eyes, and the scene looked incredibly horrifying.

Having struck the turtle with just one shot, the two other men dressed in shark skins escaped the water net and could not have cared less about their comrades that were being strangled to death beneath the net. They swam swiftly in the water, and in less than a few seconds, came beside the neck of the giant turtle. They pulled out their spears and rapidly pierced them within the two ligaments beneath the turtle’s neck.

The ligaments were very thin, and yet they had the same effects as the fin of a fish, having no blood and flesh within. However, once the spears pierced through it, the giant turtle could no longer retract its head.

Watching from afar, Saleen was even more nervous than Nailisi. He said softly to Lex, ”Damn it. Why would anyone be hunting for a magic beast in the middle of the night?”

”What’s there to worry about? We’re saved!” Lex wanted to fly up in excitement.

Saleen held her back and dragged her down with all his might. He had no idea how to explain it to Lex, but in this situation, Nailisi would definitely kill the people who were hunting the giant turtle as well.

Saleen had been spot on with his guess. Once these people in shark skins had appeared, Nailisi had taken them for her prey. The giant turtle’s head was injured and it could no longer retract itself back into its shell. The four survivors had swum away and were waiting for their boat to approach before dealing with this beast using their powerful weapons.

They had a well thought plan. Nailisi stuck to the giant turtle’s belly, quickly feeling for the injured eye socket of the turtle. With a gentle stab from the dagger, she delivered the poison into the turtle’s body. She then stepped up onto the turtle’s body, and her body instantly extended, a green magic pattern appearing on her skin. The tail that she had concealed was revealed as well, and faster than an arrow, she chased after the four survivors.
