After several people got acquainted with the weapons, they began to prepare for the next step.

Zhuge Ruzhi knew that the kind of strange beast that Ma Xie had seen, called the shelling turtle, was a kind of strange beast with a long lifespan.

They can live for hundreds of thousands of years at every turn, and they grow very slowly.

Like the two shelling turtles of the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Realm that Ma Xie saw, they had survived for at least eight thousand years.

"Eight thousand years...... Oh my God, what an eighty-thousand-year-old turtle. Liu Zongxuan gasped.

"We had to figure out why they were there, there must be something there that was attracting them. Ma Xie said, "I still have to go there." ”

"You're going alone?"

"Yes, I'm alone, I'm fast, if there's any problem I can evacuate in time. The three of you will now search for other areas, although there are few strange beasts here, but there are many rare treasures, and I found that many teams are competing for strange treasures, and we can't afford to fall behind. ”

The four of them took out Liu Zongxuan's map, found a stronghold near the mysterious pond, and settled down temporarily.

Then Ma Xie stayed a few more trap beasts and came to the mysterious pool of water.

The beach near the pond is full of shelled turtles, all of which have taken off their shells and lazily bask in the sun.

It wasn't until the next day that the shelled turtles put on their shells and returned to the water.

Ma Xie once again came to the front of the pond and released the trap beast.

The trap beast staggered into the pool, and swam towards the middle of the pool.

But when the trap beast swam to the center, it didn't move.

Ma Xie once again released the second trap beast, but this time he manipulated the trap beast not to go far, only half the distance of the previous time, and swam back.

The trap beast made its way back to the shore, and the horse demon picked it up.

"Strange, the wood of this trap beast is rotten?"

Ma Xie looked carefully, and the trap beast was not attacked by any external force, but the materials were already rusty.

It's like it's old and broken.

Ma Xie released a few more trap beasts, swimming to one-half, one-third, and one-quarter of the distance from the center point.

When he retrieved the beasts, he found that they were all aging to varying degrees.

"This pool of water can make things age!"

Through continuous experiments, Ma Xie finally discovered that this pool of water actually contains the power to make things age!

And the closer you are to the center of the pool, the stronger this power becomes.

"What a terrible power......"

According to Liu Zongxuan, the trap beast he made could be used normally for a hundred years before aging without being affected by external forces.

But in less than half an hour, all these things rotted.

It's like these things have really been a hundred years old.

Ma Xie didn't dare to get too close to it anymore, he suddenly thought of his beard, and after only a day, his beard grew again.

"The power of this pool of water is enough to affect the surroundings, and if I continue to stay here, I will age much faster than I did outside. Ma Xie subconsciously took a few steps back.

Ma Xie remembered what Lei Guang had said that there were many places in the foreign land where the speed of time was different from that of the outside world.

He remembered what Lei Guang had said to him, in foreign lands, the speed of time in many places was not exactly the same as that of the outside world.

In some places, time flows so fast that there is only a moment in the outside world, but years, even a hundred years, have passed inside.

In some places, it's the complete opposite, where it's only a moment to enter, but it's been a hundred years since the outside world.

But this pool of water is even weirder.

After those trap beasts entered the pool, in Ma Xie's opinion, they should still be in the same time and space as themselves, but their own time has aged.

"By the way, the power of the pool of water should be able to make people or objects age!"

"It's such a terrible power, it's only half an hour, and it makes the trap beast so old that it can't be used, if I go in, then I'll soon become an old man. ”

Ma Xie was afraid for a while, and he didn't enter the pool recklessly.

But he soon had a new problem in mind.

Why are those shelling turtles in it?

Even if their lifespan is hundreds of thousands of years, if they are in this pool of water for a long time, I am afraid that they will easily age.

And just standing on the periphery of the pool, he was affected, and it is clear that this power is not purely against non-living things.

The trees here are so tall and no strange beasts come close to them, which is probably related to this power.

"If you can use this power, it can also be used as a killer tool. Ma Xie had a bold idea in his heart.

He decided to stay here and find the secret to the turtle's normal entry and exit from the pool.

In the afternoon, the shelled turtles climbed up again.

They climbed up in groups and gathered together in twos and threes to rest.

These shelling turtles are very powerful, but they don't seem to be aggressive.

Once, Ma Xie clearly felt that an old turtle looked at him, but he didn't pay attention to Ma Xie.

This relieved Ma Xie, and the slow movement of these turtles did not seem to pose any threat to him.

So Ma Xie came a little closer, and came to the edge of the area, beside a turtle that looked a little younger.

After two days of observation, Ma Xie found that these shelled turtles had to "wear" their shells before they went into the water.

He made the bold assumption that these turtle shells seemed to be able to withstand the forces of aging.

When night falls, these shelled turtles fall asleep.

They slept so hard that Ma Xie even poked a shelling turtle next to them, but didn't wake them up.

So Ma Xie took a turtle shell in his hand and tied it to his body.

His heart was pounding, and if he tried and failed, he could lose a few years of life at least and lose his life at worst.

Before entering the pool, he cleaned his beard, as this was an important indicator for him to gauge whether he would be affected by the pool.

He cautiously walked to the edge of the pool, and just as his feet were about to step into the pool, there was a sudden sound behind him.

Ma Xie turned around nervously and found a shelled turtle staring at him blankly.

But when the shelled turtle saw the shell behind Ma Xie, it seemed to regard him as a "kind", blinked his eyes, and fell down again.

A false alarm.

Ma Xie calmed down and stepped into the pool.

As soon as he stepped into the pool, Ma Xie quickly touched his chin.

Sure enough, a thin layer of stubble has appeared.

This surprised Ma Xie that this turtle shell was really useful.

Originally, according to his calculations, according to the speed at which the trap beast ages in the lake water, he will age at least a few dozen years if he touches a little bit of the lake water on the very shore.

But now it seems that it has only aged for a day at most, just like the outside.

In other words, this turtle shell did withstand this force.

At this time, Ma Xie finally understood why these shelling turtles had stayed here all this time.

For ordinary creatures, this is simply a forbidden area for life.

However, for the shelled turtles with such shells, this is the best place for them to cultivate.

The growth cycle of shelled turtles is too slow.

They have only passed their juvenile stage for tens of thousands of years, and they will not really enter maturity until 100,000 years.

And here, as long as there is a turtle shell to protect them, their growth cycle will be greatly shortened.

Obviously, the shelling turtles have a good grasp of this way of allowing them to grow quickly.

After Ma Xie knew that the turtle shell was useful, he boldly dived into the water with confidence.

It was pitch black under the water, and Ma Xie tried to release the aura, but the aura could only wrap around a small area around him.

Slowly, Ma Xie came to the center of the bottom of the pool, where there was a faint blue light.

However, Ma Xie did not dare to move on.

The more you get to the center, the faster the power of aging, which is at the heart of that power.

If you keep getting closer, you're playing with your own life.

Ma Xie took the turtle shell and went down the bottom of the pool, bypassing the center and coming to the other side.

After going ashore, Ma Xie scooped up a full of turtle shell water with a turtle shell, and he wanted to try to see if the pool of water would be useful after leaving here.

He took the tortoise shell and came to the edge of the forest.

Then Ma Xie poured some water on the ground.

Sure enough, the plants in the field grew wildly, and then quickly withered.

"The power is still there, but it doesn't seem to be as strong as in the pool. Ma Xie thought in his heart.

At this time, he finally recovered his aura, his aura seemed to have increased a little bit, and feeling this, Ma Xie's heart suddenly flashed!

"That's right! The formation will also age! The formation of the old monster of Meishan will also be affected in the face of this kind of power. ”

If he could skillfully use this power, then he would be able to break through the formation left by the old monster of Meishan in his body earlier.

Ma Xie took the turtle shell and returned to the stronghold.

Seeing the turtle shell in his hand, Ma Xie was very unhappy in his heart.

I don't know how the shellless turtle will get back into the water......

"Ma Xie, what are you doing flying around with a big urinal in broad daylight?" Liu Zongxuan looked at Ma Xie and said.

"What a look at you, that's a good thing. Ma Xie said.

Liu Zongxuan came over, and Ma Xie stopped him: "Be careful, this is highly poisonous!"

He told Liu Zongxuan what this was, and Liu Zongxuan hurriedly hid away.

"You're sick! Liu Zongxuan said.

"Lao Liu, is there any way to save this thing, I can't fly around with a turtle shell, and besides, I want to return this turtle shell to the shelled turtle." ”

Liu Zongxuan scratched his head and said, "Seriously, I really can't deal with this thing, unless I wronged this shelled turtle......"

"What do you mean?"

"This pool of water is so strange that anything that comes into contact with it will age, and I want to make a turtle shell into a utensil, and then use it to hold this poison. ”

Ma Xie shook his head: "This doesn't seem to be very authentic...... Forget it, I'd better give the turtle shell back!"
