There's no doubt that this river has an epic dragon tortoise.

But how do you find the tortoise, and how can you lure it ashore?

Angus scratched his ears, "I suggest we take a rest first and wait until dawn to explore the ruins, after all, your state ......"

"No,"

Li Ang shook his head and said, "Although the dragon turtle has a strong defense, it is large and does not have a high IQ, as long as we ambush the trap in advance and manage to drag the dragon turtle, it must climb ashore ......"

"Wait!"

Angus's face changed drastically, "Now that the dragon turtle has woken up, it will definitely be wary of the enemies around it, and you still dare to approach it?" ”

"It's okay, I'm confident that I can delay the dragon turtle on the premise of ensuring my own safety."

Leon patted Angus on the shoulder and whispered, "This is the only chance." ”

With that, he walked forward, heading straight for the dragon turtle corpse.

Angus was stunned for a moment, and immediately chased after him.

……

Leon squatted beside the corpse of the dragon turtle, observed for a while, then turned to Angus, who was following behind him, and said, "Although the dragon turtle is an omnivorous creature, it prefers acidic food.

In particular, he likes poisonous mushrooms that grow in the swamp silt, as well as rotting branches and vines.

Do you know where this kind of thing is? ”

"Yes."

Angus replied: "There is a village called Oasis Village deep in the northern swamps, and every spring, the villagers dig up a batch of fresh mushrooms, dry them and send them to the waterhole where the dragon turtle lives. ”

"That's great, let's go pick some mushrooms, then go back to camp and rest and wait for nightfall."

Li Ang stood up and said with great interest: "Let's go and see what is in the depths of the swamp that will keep this big guy guarding for so long......"

Angus hesitated for a moment and whispered dissuasion, "I suggest you abandon this attempt.

Because in the depths of the swamp there are not only dragon turtles, but also three other terrifying monsters, named swamp python, swamp crocodile and swamp lizard.

The swamp python has 8 heads, the swamp crocodile has 7 heads, and the swamp lizard has 9 heads.

In addition, the swamp is also inhabited by a variety of ferocious beasts, such as spiders, centipedes, snakes, ants, locusts, and scorpions......

The monsters in the depths of the swamp have the worst of the combat power of the gold rank. ”

Hearing this, Li Ang stopped and said in distress: "It sounds very powerful, but if you don't have enough ingredients, how can you be promoted to a higher level......

No matter, try it, I can't die anyway, I think I can handle it......"

“…… I think you might need more sleep......" Angus sighed helplessly, "Let's go, I'll take you to the swamp." ”

Leon followed Angus to the bottom of the river.

Angus took the lead, sneaking quickly, avoiding the mud and gravel along the way.

The two of them swam under the dark and damp riverbed for about ten minutes, and light gradually appeared in front of them.

"Someone there?"

Leon looked up and found human bones on both sides of the river, most of them broken, or missing arms and legs, which was miserable.

"Those guys were eaten by dragon turtles, and their bones sank into the mud, leaving traces."

Angus explained, and continued to lead Leon forward.

The closer you get to the end of the river, the more bones appear on the riverbed, most of them human, mostly male, some of them intact.

The two continued to walk, and at the end of the river, they saw the corpse of the second-level monster dragon turtle.

Leon frowned and looked at the massive corpse.

The dragon turtle is a large mountain-like body that stretches across the dark green riverbed.

Its head was long gone, and its body was covered with dense and hideous wounds, its internal organs were badly damaged, and half of its body was stained red with blood.

"Dragon tortoises are magical elemental anthropomorphic beings, and it stands to reason that their blood should be light blue or transparent...... The color of this dragon turtle is pure dark green.

Could it be that this river is an oasis? ”

Angus looked around, "There is no vegetation in this area, not even the sound of insects and birds......

Li Ang was silent, took out a flashlight from his backpack, shone it on the dragon turtle's body, and carefully examined it, and found a clue.

Click, click, click.

On the surface of the tortoise's body, there was a subtle crisp sound.

The sound was like something was about to burst out of its shell.

Li Ang's expression was slightly condensed, and he clenched his fists, ready to explode at any time.

Click~

Suddenly, a scarlet appeared on the tortoise's ribcage, and with the crisp sound of bones rubbing, a round, eggshell-like structure appeared in front of Leon.

There were countless strange runes flickering and jumping on the surface of the eggshell, exuding a rich soul aura.

"It's the soul gem of the elves," Angus said in surprise, "This thing is a treasure unique to the elves, and it is very valuable." ”

“…… Well? ”

Leon raised his eyebrows, "I remember that there seems to be an eggshell in the stomach pouch of the dragon turtle, which is the soul gem of the elves?" ”

"That's right," Angus nodded, "but the eggshell was devoured by the dragon tortoise, so the soul gem didn't hatch." ”

"Oh?"

Leon's eyes lit up, and he reached out and touched the gap in the enchantment on the side of the dragon turtle, easily pulling it open, revealing the milky white spherical object the size of an egg inside.

Soul Gems!

Is this genuine?

Leon played with the soul gem for a moment, feeling that the soul gem contained surging soul energy.

Angus also stared at the soul gem with a fiery gaze.

"Do you want to eat?"

Leon glanced at him and asked with a smile, "I'll leave half for you?" ”

"Uh......" Angus coughed dryly and waved his hand, "Forget it, this thing is very helpful to the knight, and I am reluctant to waste it."

However, I heard that soul gems can be directly swallowed and refined, and the efficiency is far greater than that of ordinary potions.

You might as well take it straight and save a lot of trouble. ”

Li Ang shook his head, "I still think it's safer to collect all the materials first, this soul gem will be stored with you for the time being, and when I get the materials, you can return the soul gem to me, and we will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." ”

Angus pondered for a moment, then reluctantly said, "Okay, I can keep it for you, but if I have something to leave for a while, you have to give me the soul gem." ”

"Okay, it's a word."

Li Ang laughed, turned around and walked to the dragon turtle, reached out to touch the wound on the dragon turtle's abdomen, and tore the skin and flesh of the dragon turtle with a "click".

Angus hurriedly ducked to the side, his face full of disgust.

Leon peeled off the skin of the dragon turtle and found that it was empty, with no internal organs and no skeleton, only gray and sticky fat.

Leon pulled the gray greasy fat apart and took out a silver coin, which was his trophy in the wasteland, "Silver Coins"!

"Is this 'silver coin' also made from soul gems?"
