C16 The Giant Turtle by the River
A Jade Talisman streaked across the sky and flew into the distance. At this moment, Wu Xiaoming was meditating and comprehending the essence energy of the world. Chang'e and the rock were meditating not far away from him. Wu Xiaoming had yet to touch the entry path of the Marrow Cleansing Scripture, but the changes in his body were very obvious. In just a few months, his strength and speed had surpassed Uncle Di. He had secretly tried lifting a rock weighing more than 40,000 kilograms, and he could easily lift it up with a speed of 100 meters. His mental strength was even more obvious. Every night, he would be full of energy after meditating for two hours. "If only I had such a powerful body in my previous life, then I would have been an Olympic champion!" He often fantasized about his previous life. Perhaps there were too many things in his previous life, such as his unfaithful wife, his aged parents, and those dog friends.
A 1.4-meter tall little Taoist boy was talking and laughing with three two-and-a-half-meter tall men. Suddenly, a stream of light flew past him. He waved his hand and intercepted the stream of light. "Around two thousand miles away from the Wei River, the Immortal Crane Clan said that more than a dozen humans were almost annihilated by the Five-Colored Poison Spider Clan. Do you want me to go and bring them back?"
"Senior Brother Ling Zhu Zi, let me go! That place is not far from the place where my clansmen were scattered by the Chaos. It should be our clansmen." A strong man wearing a straw hat and a five-colored beast skin skirt said, "Moreover, my clansmen are sick. I can find more herbs along the way!"
"Brother Shennong, be careful. Our clansmen have been through a lot of hardships and almost got wiped out. Every single one of them is very precious." Another giant man said. The four of them couldn't help but think about the various dangers along the way. Apart from Fuxi and Nvwa, who had migrated to the East Sea, where they could live and reproduce, the other three clans had only less than two thousand people left when they reunited. They couldn't help but sigh.
"Alright, then be careful. I still have to negotiate with the powerful Vicious Beasts around the human race. After that, I will travel to the Primal World." Ling Zhu Zi looked at the vast night sky and said.
Wu Xiaoming naturally did not know about all of this.
The next morning, Wu Xiaoming organized all the clansmen to transplant bamboo. He had originally planned to let Uncle Di lead the group to continue their training, but because the clan members' appetite had greatly reduced, the wild deer hunted yesterday was enough for the clan members to eat for seven to eight days. There was no need for them to take risks anymore. Most importantly, the young men had just become men last night. The forest was too dangerous. He had to follow them. Although he was also afraid of death, as a transmigrator, he would not die so easily. Just like how everyone was about to despair last night, they still managed to escape death. He always felt that it was his transmigration that gave him the advantage. He had read in the web novel that the pig feet would die.
Chang'e and the girls who had just become women chatted and laughed together. From time to time, they would hear the topic of "what should we do". Wu Xiaoming looked at Dong, who was silent beside him, and asked, "How is it? Dong, last night was okay, right?" Dong's face immediately turned red. Wu Xiaoming was also embarrassed to continue teasing him.
"Everyone, dig out the bamboo roots. Remember, don't dig out all the roots of each bamboo." Wu Xiaoming looked at the clansmen who used the Stone Blade to dig out the entire bamboo and said. Although there were no suitable excavation tools, for the clansmen who were extremely strong, this job was too simple.
"Human, look at what that is." Wu Xiaoming, who was lowering his head and concentrating on digging out the bamboo roots, was pulled up by Chang'e. He glared at Chang'e and wanted to reprimand her for being so focused on work. The sound of water splashing rang out, and Wu Xiaoming looked at the water surface that Chang'e pointed at. A huge turtle's head leaped out of the water, and the entire river was filled with the sound of water splashing. One huge turtle's head after another floated out of the water. Wu Xiaoming looked at Chang'e, who was naughtily sticking out her tongue, and said, "Everyone, pay attention!" Uncle Di and the others also saw the scene on the water surface. They all surrounded Wu Xiaoming and looked at him from afar.
"Good stuff! It's a great tonic." As a qualified foodie, Wu Xiaoming first thought of the delicious turtle soup. Just as he was indulging in his fantasies, Uncle Di dragged him back to reality. The clansmen began to retreat. Only then did he realize that the huge turtles were rushing towards them one by one.
As Wu Xiaoming retreated with the clansmen, he was thinking about how big the stone pot needed to be to cook the turtle soup! As a foodie, he had never been very conscious.
"Who said that turtles are slow? If you come out, I promise I won't beat you to death!" Wu Xiaoming saw the huge turtles rushing towards them at a speed of about 100 meters per second, and he was instantly stunned.
The largest turtle was actually a hundred meters tall, and the smallest one was fifteen or sixteen meters tall. The thick and short legs of the turtle moved quickly, and the sharp fangs of the huge turtle could be clearly seen!
"Roar!" A loud roar almost made Wu Xiaoming fall to the ground. Why were all the creatures in this world so powerful?
Wu Xiaoming pulled the other clansmen who were still running for their lives. He could tell that these huge turtles were not coming for them. The first turtle that rushed to the edge of the bamboo forest was currently lowering its head and eating the fresh bamboo leaves. From time to time, it would pull out the huge bamboo shoots that it had always wanted to eat.
"Human Emperor, let's go home!" Uncle Di looked at the thousands of huge turtles that were wreaking havoc in the bamboo forest. "No, let's take a look again." Wu Xiaoming was still thinking about the turtle soup, so how could he leave so easily?
Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound came from the forest. Just as the clansmen thought that some Vicious Beast was coming to hunt the huge turtles, Wu Xiaoming saw the familiar figures of the Bamboo Rats and couldn't help but laugh out loud. These cute animals were too much. Every time they appeared, they would make a huge scene, but they would always return in defeat.
No one knew where they had been hiding during the winter, so Wu Xiaoming was drooling when he saw them. "Bamboo Rats are definitely very delicious!"
As expected, before the bamboo rats could even reach the edge of the bamboo forest, they were scared out of their wits by the roars that shook the sky.
Fortunately, this bamboo forest was big enough. After the huge turtles wreaked havoc for a while, they all ran to the riverside and sunbathed. Only a third of the bamboo forest was not affected.
"Human Emperor, are we still digging for bamboo roots?" Uncle Di stared at the giant turtles on the beach. He did not remember seeing such an animal in his memory, but from the huge size of the turtle, the thick armor on its back, and the ferocious turtle head, it was obvious that it was not easy to deal with.
"Let's dig!" Wu Xiaoming also stared at the giant turtles. If he could hunt one, it would be great. Tonight, he would have turtle soup to drink. This thing was very nutritious.
When the sun set, all the giant turtles moved. Using their thick hind legs, they continuously dug up the sand. Soon, a huge hole appeared on the beach. The back half of the giant turtle's body was all stretched out into the hole.
So they were here to breed. I was wondering why they suddenly appeared here, and why they were so big. Wu Xiaoming saw that all the giant turtles were working hard to produce, so he aimed at a lone giant turtle not far away from them. The twenty-meter-tall giant turtle seemed to be having a difficult time, and it was constantly roaring and jumping up and down.
"Dong and Shitou, go to the edge of the forest to find a branch as thick as a thigh. Uncle Di, give me your Stone Blade. Everyone pay attention to the movements of the turtles. In a while, we will go hunt that giant turtle. Tonight, we will drink turtle soup together." Wu Xiaoming's saliva almost flowed out when he thought of the delicious turtle soup.
"Human Emperor, this thing is so big, and it's covered in armor. How can we hunt it?" Uncle Di looked at Wu Xiaoming in confusion. He really didn't know why he had been staring at the giant turtle the whole time.
"Leave the hunting to me. Everyone just need to pay attention to the turtles. Don't let any of them hurt you. Dong, you and I will go together. In a while, we will carry the giant turtles together. Do you understand?" Wu Xiaoming looked at Dong, who was nodding his head non-stop.
"Human Emperor, it's too dangerous. Dong and I will go!" Uncle Di looked at the giant turtle that was screaming in pain.
"Uncle Di, you have to ensure the safety of the entire clan. Do you understand? Don't let any of the clansmen get hurt!" Wu Xiaoming took the Stone Blade from Uncle Di's hand and took off the forty javelins on his body. He picked up two of them and broke them. He waved them in his hand and nodded.
Wu Xiaoming and Dong quietly approached the giant turtle that was giving birth. They waited for him about twenty meters away from the turtle. He grabbed the thick tree branch and waited for the turtle to come closer. He roared and saw Wu Xiaoming approaching. He lowered his head and bit the turtle with lightning speed. Wu Xiaoming accurately poked the tree branch into the giant turtle's mouth. He jumped up quickly when the turtle was biting the tree branch. He held the sharp Stone Blade in his hands and stabbed it into the turtle's eyes. The Stone Blade pierced into the turtle's eyes. Two huge amounts of blood splashed all over Wu Xiaoming's body.
The giant turtle roared in pain and its head kept shaking. Wu Xiaoming quickly pulled out the javelin that was inserted into his waist. He jumped up high and stabbed the javelin into the turtle's head. The huge force smashed the turtle's head into the ground. The blood filled the huge pit.
Looking at the motionless giant turtle, Wu Xiaoming quickly lifted it up from the ground. "Damn! It's really heavy. Let's just drag it. Dong, come over quickly." When Dong went over and pulled a turtle leg, he shouted, "Run!"
When the giant turtles saw their companions being attacked, they all roared loudly, their voices shaking the heavens and earth. Since they were all producing, they couldn't move, so they could only roar loudly and hit the ground with their front legs.
Wu Xiaoming and Dong staggered and almost fell to the ground. "Run!" Looking at the clansmen who were staring at Wu Xiaoming and Dong in shock, Wu Xiaoming almost cursed. The primitive people were too blind.
"Human, I'll help you drag it!" Chang'e quickly ran over and helped Wu Xiaoming drag the giant turtle. Her speed had obviously increased.
When they returned home, all the clansmen were covered in sweat. Half of them were so tired that they ran for a hundred meters, and the other half were scared. It was too exciting, like a tiger trying to take food from its mouth.
Looking at the giant turtle in front of him, Wu Xiaoming felt proud. How bold was he? How fertile was he? "Dong, start the fire. Chang'e, scrub the pot. We will boil the turtle soup!"
