Chapter 3138 - Snake Turtle Hide (2/2)
After he checked out a few spots on the land pulse, Mister Wei looked at Sky King with seriousness. “Mister King, we cannot dig this land pulse within 300 miles of this river.”
“Why is that?” Sky King asked with genuine curiosity.
Mister Wei pointed at the river and said, “Please look over there. The river starts from a snowy highland. It should go to the sea, but halfway down this river, it goes underground. It creates an underground river. Although it still flows to the sea, in this formation, the land pulse has a name. It is called a Snake Turtle Hide.”
“What is a Snake Turtle Hide formation? I have never heard of such a thing,” Sky King asked.
Mister Wei had a wry smile. “The river above the land pulse is called a dragon pulse, but dragons fly through the nine clouds. They do not go underground. Right now, half the river is underground, and thus it is like a snake hiding in a turtle shell. That is why it is called a Snake Turtle Hide.”
“What is so special about this formation? Why can’t we dig here?” Sky King asked.
Mister Wei replied, “Mister, have you heard about snakes and turtles fighting each other?”
“I have seen a lot,” Sky King said with a nod.
Mister Wei nodded and went on to say, “If snakes want to eat turtles, they have to bite their necks. When the turtle is in pain, it will bite the snake’s body and retreat its head back into the shell. The snake’s head will be brought in with it too. During this kind of snake and turtle fight, they will bite each other and let go until they are both dead. It ensures that if one goes down, the other goes down with it. The Snake Turtle Hide formation is like that. If we dig land pulses near this river, it is like we are digging the snake’s body and turtle shell. The snake and turtle that killed each other might now be set free. The person who digs the snake’s body and turtle shell will be in bad shape. This is an extremely bad formation. It is one of the evilest land pulses in existence. If we keep digging here, something negative will happen. Even if you do get some gene eggs out of it, it will never be worth it.”
“The area of this river is very large, and there are many land pulses,” Sky King said. “If we do not dig within 300 miles of the river, we will take on at least 10% to 20% additional damage. Do you have a way to fix that?”
“The evil pulse is here now, so there is nothing I can do,” Mister Wei said, looking rather sad.
“If things are indeed like that, then let’s not dig up anything.” Sky King understood. He ordered people to replan their excavation efforts and avoid any area that resided within 300 miles of the river.
As for the river that led underground, Mister Wei calculated where it went so they could avoid it.
After that, the big dragon riders stopped having a fatality every day. No more knights died during their dig.
They thought things were now okay. After a few days, lights began to glow inside the river. It was like a nightlight river.
Looking out at the planet, a shiny, real dragon was lying on the ground. It looked very bright.
Anyone was able to tell that this was a weird scene with a land pulse that could shock the world. It was a shame that it was within the Snake Turtle Hide formation. There was no way to get at it.
After Sky King sent a group of knights to the river to dig up a land pulse, the riders all died within a few days. There was not a single survivor.
After that, Sky King did not dare send anyone out there to dig land pulses. Every day, he watched that land pulse that shocked the sky, but he did not dig. He was very upset.
