The insects in my house are dragons.

Chapter 54 Elder Turtle

Although there was no sense of danger, the appearance of a transcendent creature of a high-ranking lord race in this area was still quite strange.

In the eyes of beast tamers, aren't these extraordinary creatures with high racial rank but low strength rank just walking top-tier pets?

It's just that Yun Che's current beast taming space level is insufficient; otherwise, he would definitely be tempted.

"Ugh..." Iris did not relax her vigilance; on the contrary, she was on high alert, and the black mist grew even thicker.

Its reaction surprised Yun Che.

It's like... Iris knows this Mystic Wood Crystal Horned Turtle.

Yun Che had witnessed the power of the iris.

Could it be... that this Xuanmu Crystal Horned Turtle, like the Boiling Blood Crocodile, also consumed the dragon bone carrying semi-ghost energy?

However, he did not sense any ferocious aura similar to that of the Boiling Blood Crocodile from the Xuanmu Crystal Horned Turtle.

However, it was precisely because of Iris's attitude that Yun Che did not completely let his guard down, and he continued to use the power of Tokiwa to convey friendly sentiments.

Slowly crouching down, looking directly at the Mystic Wood Crystal Horned Turtle, he said:

"I'm sorry, Kongkong didn't mean to. If you'd like, I'll have it help you remove the thread?"

The encyclopedia says that the mutation has endowed this Mystic Wood Crystal Horned Turtle with extremely high intelligence, so it should be able to understand what I say, right?

"Do you know which tortoise you attacked?"

Suddenly, a hoarse, yet powerful, unfamiliar voice rang in Yun Che's mind.

Ok?

Not only him, but Kongkong and Iris also obviously heard it.

Kongkong stopped smiling, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the Xuanmu Crystal Horned Turtle in front of him, as if to confirm.

The iris remained silent, standing firmly before Yun Che, entwined in the black mist.

Only then did Yun Che notice that there was a faint light in the eyes of the Xuanmu Crystal Horned Turtle.

Mental strength!

Telepathy!

It's understandable that extraordinary beings with mental attributes possess telepathy, but it's somewhat surprising that it appears in an extraordinary being at the mid-stage of the mutation level.

Lan Xiangya's duck also has a mental attribute, and its race level is even a low-level monarch. It probably doesn't have telepathy.

"Very well, considering your kindness, your ignorance of my identity, your admission of wrongdoing, and your respectful attitude, I will pardon you."

The voice rang out again.

Elder?

Yun Che keenly identified the key point in the other person's words.

He glanced at Iris again, and could still sense the tension and unease emanating from her.

After a slight hesitation, he chose to trust Iris's reaction.

He smiled and said, "I was unaware of Elder Turtle's arrival. I apologize for not welcoming you properly."

As he spoke, he gave Kongkong a look and signaled it to be careful.

"Chirp..." Kongkong scratched his head.

Although she found it quite amusing that a turtle could "talk," she still followed Yun Che's instructions and went forward to remove the threads from its body.

Noticing that the turtle's gaze seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally following her pear fruit, after a moment of internal struggle, she finally asked:

"Chirp?" (Want some?)

The Xuanmu Crystal Horned Turtle raised its head and let out a soft hum.

"With my status, why would I eat your leftovers?"

Kongkong pouted.

Even if others want it, Master Kong won't give it to them.

If it weren't for the fact that you can talk and it's quite amusing, I wouldn't bother giving it to you.

However, Yun Che noticed that although the Xuanmu Crystal Horned Turtle said that, its eyes were still occasionally glancing at the Phoenix Pear Fruit, and its throat was moving.

At the same time, the power of the Everlasting Rock also allowed him to feel from the Blackwood Crystal Horned Turtle that while the anger had dissipated, the desire remained.

He doesn't mean what he says.

With a thought, Yun Che placed one hand on Iris's head to soothe its emotions, while taking out a bottle of milk, a serving of blood mulberry, and a can of ghost fish.

He said, "Of course we can't let the elder eat leftovers. To express our apology, would the elder do us the honor of accepting these dishes?"

The Xuanmu Crystal Horned Turtle's gaze fell on Yun Che, and it nodded calmly.

"You are not bad. Although you are just a mere human, you recognize this elder. You deserve a reward! So, reward yourself with your meal, which will enter this elder's mouth."

Yun Che: "..."

Fluctuations in mental energy.

The milk and blood mulberry placed on the ground floated to the front of the Xuanmu Crystal Horned Turtle, ignoring the Ghost Fish canned food.

He opened the bottle with his mental energy, gulped down half of it, ate two mouthfuls of blood mulberry, and nodded slightly.

"It's bland, the flavor is weak."

"grumble!"

At this moment, Kongkong removed the silk threads from the Xuanmu Crystal Horned Turtle's body, and, listening to its words, took a bite of the Phoenix Pear Fruit in a huff.

Has it faded?

Do you want some salt and pepper added to your milk?

After eating and drinking its fill, the Xuanmu Crystal Horned Turtle let out a soft burp.

"Since you did not mean any harm, and I am not an ignorant fool, I will forgive you."

The Xuanmu Crystal Horned Turtle shook its body and its shell, causing several items to fall off.

A dark, moldy-looking fruit; a pair of ripped socks with holes; a part from some plastic toy; half a scallop shell of some unknown species.

The Mystic Crystal Horned Turtle scratched at the shell with its claws a few times before finally selecting the half of the shell.

He said with a pained expression:

"Don't think that I, the elder, won't pay for your meals. This treasure is a gift to you all."

Yun Che smiled.

It turns out that people can actually laugh when they're speechless.

Is this how you test cadres?

"Elder, you're too kind. Such a treasure is truly..."

slam-la-

At this moment, commotion reappeared on the river, much larger than before, as if some enormous creature was about to surge out of the water.

Soon, a huge turtle head, at least half the size of a person, floated on the surface of the water.

!!!

Upon seeing this head, Yun Che and Kong Kong's expressions changed simultaneously.

"Woo!" Iris let out a soft woof, and the black mist emanating from her body had already covered Yun Che's knees.

However, the giant tortoise did not look at them, but only at the Xuanmu Crystal Horned Tortoise, and emitted a deep and heavy voice.

"Hoo—" (Elder, stop playing around. Human territory isn't safe. It's time to go back.)

But the Xuanmu Crystal Horned Turtle glared back at him with annoyance.

"Understood, understood!"

Immediately afterwards, the Xuanmu Crystal Horned Turtle leaped up and, with the help of its spiritual power, landed steadily on the huge head.

"This elder is departing now~"

At the same time, the Pokédex finally responded.

Name: Black Wood Turtle

[Attributes]: Water, Wood

[Race Rank]: Mid-level Lord

[Strength Level]: Mid-level Lord

[Racial Skills]: Wood Horn, Water Vortex, Shell Defense, Water-Wood Blade...

[Evaluation]: A superb creature of the water and wood elements, the turtle is said to have an extremely long lifespan.

A mid-level lord?!

Is this why the iris is always on guard?

No, the iris probably wouldn't be able to detect the Blackwood Turtle in the water either; it might recognize this group.

Since the turtle called itself an "elder," it means that this is at least a group, and not a very small one.

How did it end up downstream of the Blue River?

Looking for food?

Yun Che quickly flipped through the encyclopedia and, sure enough, found one in the "Recipe" section—the Black Beetle!

The migration of black beetles forces the populations that feed on them to also move.

Watching the two extraordinary turtle-like creatures, one large and one small, rapidly disappear into the river, Yun Che took a deep breath and secretly rejoiced.

Fortunately, Iris was vigilant, and thankfully she wasn't a warmonger, so she didn't immediately attack any supernatural creature she saw.

"Chirp..." Kongkong grabbed the half-shell and tugged at Yun Che's trouser leg.

Ah Che, this thing seems to be...

...

In the Blue River.

Two extraordinary turtles, one large and one small, roamed freely.

"Slow down! I told you to slow down!" The turtle elder struggled to control his body so as not to fall, and irritably tapped the head of the giant turtle beneath him.

"Hoo..." The giant black wood turtle slowed down.

(Elder, the King says the human world is very dangerous. If we don't go back soon, we'll be punished again.)

"What do you know?" Elder Turtle glared. "This elder calls it reconnaissance. Do you even know what reconnaissance is?"

"Besides, the human world isn't that dangerous. Look, I only made a slight move just now, and those humans were intimidated by my domineering aura and became very friendly."

"Phew..." (That guy and the guy next to him...)

"Both are quite good!" Elder Turtle exclaimed. "Those two fellows both have considerable potential."

The giant black wood turtle blinked.

The elder is known in the clan for his sharp tongue and keen eyes, so how could there be someone he praises?

"Moreover," Elder Turtle said with a smug look, "the fact that they didn't try to steal my treasured possessions shows they have good character. Perhaps they can be trained as 'spies' for our race among humans!"

The Black Wood Turtle suddenly realized, and exclaimed in admiration, "Huh?"

(The elders were so thoughtful, they even tested them?)

Elder Turtle raised his head. "Of course! Who am I? I am... cough cough cough!!"

Because it raised its head and swam quite fast, a shrimp that couldn't dodge in time was choked directly into Elder Turtle's mouth.

It immediately flew into a rage and slapped the Black Wood Turtle's head again.

"Ah Yao, how many times have I told you? Huaijiang is our home. Everyone has to protect it. You better stay away and don't just rush in and attack any fish, shrimp, or crab you see!"

"Phew..." the Black Wood Turtle said aggrievedly.

(But Elder, aren't you always like this...?)

Elder Turtle remained silent, only tilting his head and staring into the eyes of the Mystic Wood Turtle.

"Hoo..." (Elder, Ah Yao knows she was wrong...)
