Chapter 19: The Psychic Tortoise

Previous Chapter

For several days, Yang Xin and the three of them searched along the river during the day, and grilled fish on the river bank at night, but there was no trace of the whirling turtle. Yang Xin said unwillingly: "How can this ghost thing disappear out of thin air?" ”

Liang Fang blamed himself very much, "If I hadn't been careless and was bitten off by it, it wouldn't have been ......."

Yang Xin interrupted him and said, "It's none of your business, we didn't expect this turtle to be so fierce and move so fast, completely subverting my understanding of turtles!" ”

Liu Xin also said: "I also want to study this artifact carefully. ”

Yang Xin was a little unimpressed in her heart and said, "God? It looks so ugly, the triangular head is all occupied by the eyes, and if you don't pay attention, it's no different from a stone! Very cunning! ”

Suddenly, Yang Xin's heart lit up, that thing was so cunning, it was naturally ineffective to use the same method, and it seemed a little silly to grill fish for days to tempt it. But it has to forage for food, and we have been closely monitoring this river for days, can it still fly?

Thinking of this, Yang Xin couldn't help but look at the heights, the rushing white waterfall hit the rocks and stirred up bursts of water, the craggy rocks around the white waterfall were covered with green moss, and clumps of green grass grew in the rock crevices.

Liang Fangqi said: "What is Sister Xin'er looking at?" ”

Yang Xin shook her head and smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "I actually believe that turtles can fly!" It's ridiculous! Suddenly, she pointed to a dark brown rock next to the waterfall and shouted, "Look! Look! The stone moved! ”

Liu and Liang looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, the stone moved slightly to the right at a very imperceptible speed!

Yang Xin was overjoyed and said: "The turtle can actually fly!" It's there! ”

The eyes of the three of them were full of incredulity, such a high rock wall, such a turbulent waterfall, how did it go up? The three of them carefully inspected the waterfall, the stone walls were slippery, the water was turbulent, and there was no place to stay, whether it was from the top down or from the bottom up, it was absolutely impossible, not to mention that they had to beware of evil turtles hurting people.

When she was at a loss, Yang Xin suddenly said, "Let's go!" ”

"Let's go?" Liang Fang was shocked.

Yang Xin said: "This turtle climbed to the cliff in order to avoid us, as long as it doesn't come down, we can't help it at all." Let's step back and let it down, and then try to catch it! ”

Liu Xin couldn't help but nod and said: "Taking retreat as advance, it is indeed a wonderful method!" ”

The three of them packed their bags with great fanfare, and while packing up Yang Xin, they asked Liang Fang to drop the fish they had caught in the past few days along the riverbank, from fish scales, fish intestines, fish maw, to a small fish, then two small fish, and then three ...... Finally, dig a deep pit, spread twigs and dead leaves on the pit, and carefully cover the pit with fish.

After doing this, the three of them hid behind a tree and waited for the night to get dark. Seeing that the moon is already extremely high, but the whirling turtle has not yet appeared. The three of them were extremely tired after waiting for a long time, and just as they were feeling tormented, suddenly a large dark brown rock by the river slowly crawled over, and the three of them were in high spirits. I saw that the big stone was extremely agile, and it was very slow to test forward, if it weren't for the fact that the three of them were already familiar with its shape at this moment, otherwise they would still be deceived by its disguised stone. Time passed minute by minute, it approached the fish scales very carefully, stretched out its long neck and sniffed, and then lay down to camouflage the stone, waited for a while, and saw that there was no danger, it cautiously moved forward, swallowed the fish intestine in one mouthful, and then lay down to pretend to wait for a while, before slowly moving forward......

I don't know how long it took, but at last it approached the pit and sank in, and the three of them stared at it nervously, waiting for it to fall in. I didn't know that this turtle actually stopped! It stretched out its long neck and spared it around, its wrinkled skin and large eyes bulging outwards were extremely mad in the forest under the moon. The three of them couldn't help but shudder, and they didn't dare to come out.

The turtle carefully patrolled around the edge of the pit, and Yang Xin and the three kept silently chanting in their hearts: "Go forward, go forward!" But the turtle stopped and stopped moving forward, but suddenly stretched out its long neck, and dragged a fish in its mouth, and took three mouthfuls and two bites, and even put it into its belly, and saw that it was concocted in the same way, and dragged another fish over and swallowed it. Yang Xin was so not annoyed, she knew that she would go farther! Annoyed in her heart, she stepped on a dead leaf, and made a slight clicking sound, only this sound, the turtle immediately alerted, stretched out its turtle feet full of scales and claws, and crawled towards the river very quickly, seeing that it was about to escape into the river, when the three of them thought it was hopeless, the turtle actually stopped again, put away its limbs, and looked around cautiously.

The three of them just let out their breath, and they couldn't help but tighten up again. After waiting for a while, the turtle probably couldn't let go of the full pile of fish, and crawled back with great care! At this moment, Yang Xin no longer dared to be careless, condensed her breath, and stared at the turtle without blinking. The turtle disguised itself as a boulder again, moved slowly, paying close attention to the movements around it, and approached the fish pile again, only to see that this time it was more cautious, turning its head around, and observing again and again with its long bulging eyes, and only after confirming that there was no danger, did it approach the fish pile. Forward, further forward, finally the thin branch could not bear its weight, and brought it into the deep pit, only at this moment, Liang Fang pounced out, and hurriedly used a wooden plank to quickly go to the pit cover, but the turtle moved extremely fast, half of its body had crawled out of the pit, half of its body was stuck in the pit, twisting its head and frantically gnawing on something close to it, Liang Fang held a long knife and didn't know whether to cut its head.

Liu Xin hurriedly said: "Quick, unpack the cloth bag and tie it up!" ”

As Liang Fang's knife fell, the cloth bag had grown into a strip of cloth, he threw the strip of cloth to Yang Xin, and the two of them divided the turtle from the middle abdomen to a big tie, lifted it and hung it in the air, the turtle was very angry, the limbs struggled desperately, the long neck kept twisting, and a long tail full of barbs like a poisonous snake shook vigorously, opening the mouth like an eagle hook to bite around, sending out "tuk...... Sincere...... The sound was like splitting wood, but no matter how the turtle writhed and struggled, it was useless, and the more so, the more fierce it became, and the more fierce it struggled, so that the three of them did not dare to approach at all.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the three of them were no longer in a hurry, and carefully observed this strange thing.

Liu Xin exclaimed: "The head is like a bird, the beak is like an eagle, the scales are like a unicorn, the claws are like a dragon, the back is like a turtle, and the tail is like a snake, it's really amazing!" ”

Liang Fang also added: "Also alert and ferocious! ”

Yang Xin hesitated again and again before asking Liu Xin, "How to wear this thing?" ”

Liu Xin said: "Ordinary tortoise shells can be used in medicine, and they have the power of divination, and this tortoise shell is probably even more of a divine thing!" Take off the tortoise shell and wear it, and you can hear it when you think about it. ”

Yang Xin couldn't help asking, "How to get this tortoise shell?" ”

Liu Xin was silent for a long time before he said: "You need to take boiling water, put the turtle in it, the turtle meat will shrink when it encounters boiling water, and use a knife to peel off the shell ...... when the turtle is not out of breath."

Yang Xin couldn't help frowning, peeling the turtle shell raw, isn't this too cruel? Looking at the whirling turtle with a fierce look, he thought of killing it and taking out the shell, he felt pity for it, and asked Liu Xin, "Is there no other way?" ”

Liu Xin shook his head, Yang Xin couldn't help but sigh, the creator of nature has already set the law of the law of the jungle, and if he wants Teacher Bai to recover his hearing, he has to do it to kill the turtle and take the armor. Thinking that this turtle won't live long, it's better to go to the Xuncao first, and if you can stay for one more day, it's better than nothing! When its physical strength was almost exhausted, Liang Fang cut off the long branches, tied the knots, put them on his shoulders, and set off to find the Xun grass.
