Chapter 610: Chapter 605 Divine Turtle Falls Into a Trap

“So these fierce beasts are fighting over a treasure!”

Qin Feng instantly understood.

However, what kind of heaven-defying treasure grew on that cliff, that it could lure such fierce monsters here to fight desperately without fearing any accident?

This place was known as the God Burying Abyss, where countless fierce and domineering beings lay hidden within, and although the two monsters fighting outside were ferocious, compared to the entities within the Abyss, they were merely insignificant creatures.

Qin Feng knew very well that the God Burying Abyss housed many great demons, some having been awakened by disturbances from the outside in the past. Although these entities could not leave the Abyss, if truly provoked, their spell’s might could easily traverse the hundreds of miles, potentially drawing in any cultivator bewitched by their spirit and offering themselves up as food for these demons.

After several blood-soaked lessons, this knowledge spread throughout the Southern Domain Cultivation World, serving as a stark reminder for cultivators to remain cautious and avoid causing great commotions.

But these naturally violent and savage monsters clearly did not care about this. They were only focused on the present, not taking other factors into account.

As long as they could devour the spirit fruit borne by that mysteriously magical small tree, they were confident that they could take their cultivation to the next level.

From a distance, Qin Feng watched with some temptation, but he did not approach. Instead, he gathered the White Dragon into the Demon Refining Pot and, with a flash of his figure, disappeared into the void.

Although that spirit fruit seemed extraordinary and would likely be highly beneficial to him, he chose not to risk going over there in the name of caution.

However, he had not given up just yet.

The two beasts were incredibly powerful, each with war power comparable to that of a Great Cultivator at the Primordial Spirit Realm. Their struggle was so fierce it caused the mountains to crumble and loose rocks to fly. Had they not intentionally avoided the cliff, the spiritual tree would have likely been destroyed countless times by now.

They were evenly matched, with similar strengths, so it would take some time for the victor to emerge. By then, both monsters would probably be exhausted, far from their peak condition.

Even if he could not seize that spirit fruit in time, he could still make a move against those two beasts.

Fierce beasts with strength comparable to the Primordial Spirit Realm were enough to stir Qin Feng’s heart just by their war power alone.

Common cultivators struggled even with forming a Dharma Image, and Great Cultivators at the Primordial Spirit Realm could not simply claim dominion over such beings of this level.

But with the Demon Refining Pot in hand, Qin Feng had no problem as long as their realm was not too far beyond his. Once they entered the Demon Refining Pot, there was absolutely no escaping!

“Boom…”

Powerful spells collided, and the fierce clashes left both fierce beasts covered in wounds, blood scattering in all directions. Their struggle also caused rocks to fly, occasionally landing near the spiritual tree.

Just as they briefly separated, glaring with murderous eyes and gasping for air, wishing they could tear each other apart, something entirely unexpected happened.

Out of nowhere, a turtle head suddenly appeared on a large rock near the spiritual tree!

The rounded turtle head, adorned with a pair of glinting little eyes, swiveled around twice and then, with the swiftness of lightning, extended and snatched the heaven-sent treasure, along with the spiritual tree, straight into its belly.

Not just the two fierce beasts, but even Qin Feng was stunned!

What was happening?

This was supposed to be a situation where the fisherman benefits from the quarrel between the snipe and clam, but why did a giant turtle appear out of nowhere? Where did this creature come from?

Upon closer inspection, Qin Feng realized that the turtle had burrowed itself into a large blue rock, then used a spell to hide its presence and camouflage itself as a rock. With the help of the aftermath of the beasts’ battle, it managed to get close enough to swallow the spirit fruit whole.

“Roar…”

“Roar…”

The two spiritual beasts that had been locked in a life-and-death struggle let out fierce howls and charged towards the turtle, which had only revealed its head.

Before they could close in, the Giant Crocodile spat out a gust of wind toward the cliff, its momentum grand and its power formidable, as if intending to crush the turtle into pieces with countless slicing Wind Blades.

Bang, bang, bang…

When the gust hit the blue rock sheltering the turtle, the large oval stone emitted a series of crackling sounds. Buffeted by the storm, the stone cracked layer by layer and shattered into numerous pieces, scattering in the wind, soon revealing the turtle’s true form.

It was an odd-looking turtle with an oval shell mottled in color yet shimmering with a jade-like gloss. Most astonishing was the naturally formed Eight Trigrams Chart on its back, interwoven with mysterious lines, which left Qin Feng, who was stewing at a distance, stunned; even with his broad experience, he could not identify what species of Spirit Turtle this was.

“Roar…”

Before Qin Feng had a chance to figure it out, the Spirit Turtle let out a bellow.

As its roar burst forth, a golden light rose from its shell, forming an Eight Trigrams Figure in the void.

The Eight Diagrams Golden Light blazed, instantly freezing the gust in place. As the Eight Trigrams Chart rotated, it even directly ground the powerful wind to nothingness.

For a moment, the raging wind ceased, and the world fell silent!

Although the Eight Diagrams were mighty, they couldn’t scare the two vicious fierce beasts.

Not to mention that the breath of the tortoise was much weaker than theirs, even among great demons of the same level, those robbed of treasure and in a state of fury would not easily let go of their opponent.

Thus, almost simultaneously, the two fierce beasts pounced towards the tortoise from the left and the right, roaring as they struck at its body.

The Fierce Ape raised its arms high, carrying endless ferocious brute strength, and fiercely smashed down on the turtle’s shell, intending to shatter it to pieces with one blow.

The Giant Crocodile opened its gaping maw, wanting to rely on its exceedingly strong biting force to bite the tortoise to pieces alive!

But just as their attacks were about to hit the tortoise, four turtle legs stretched out from under the shell, and with a speed far exceeding what a tortoise should have, it darted away like a puff of smoke, causing them to miss entirely. Then, it pushed off against the stone walls with its legs and shot straight up into the air as if preparing to use an escape skill to flee into the void.

The two fierce beasts split to the left and right, with a flash in their motions as they pounced toward the tortoise again. But the tortoise, which had been fleeing rapidly, suddenly dropped down, narrowly avoiding the beasts’ pounces and even causing them to crash viciously into each other.

“Roar…”

The two fierce beasts scratched each other a few times in annoyance, barely suppressing the thought of killing each other, and turned their heads to pounce toward the tortoise once more.

The Spirit Fruit had just been swallowed by the tortoise, and if they could devour the tortoise entirely, maybe they could still reap some of the fruit’s benefits.

Moreover, this tortoise was clearly full of Spiritual Energy and had a remarkable Spiritual Nature, being a rare exotic species. Even without the Spirit Fruit, just devouring it would bring them considerable benefits.

However, although the Realm of the Spirit Turtle’s Dao Cultivation was one level lower than theirs, it was extremely slippery, darting left and evading right, and even more agile than a savvy mouse, making it difficult for them to catch a glimpse of its form for the time being.

In the distance, Qin Feng, who was watching the commotion hidden in the void, suddenly faintly felt something was amiss.

It seemed that the two fierce beasts chasing the tortoise were getting closer and closer to where he was.

He had deployed his Space Divine Power, enveloping himself in a layer of Space Power, so they shouldn’t be able to discover him, right?

This thought had not yet settled when suddenly, he saw the tortoise leap forward, its two round eyes meeting his squarely.

“Hm?”

Qin Feng was startled inside, “This tortoise is truly formidable, it can actually see straight through the void and discern my hiding place!”

Just as he was preparing to withdraw and utilize the Void Jumping Divine Power to leave the area to avoid being affected by the tortoise and the fierce beasts’ fight, he suddenly saw the tortoises grin with a big smiling face towards him.

“So ugly!”

That was Qin Feng’s first reaction.

Ordinary people who hadn’t seen it for themselves would truly struggle to imagine the sight of a round turtle head splitting into a smile, and this tortoise when smiling was very special. Not only did its eyes squint, but even its sharp teeth didn’t make it seem fierce or terrifying; instead, Qin Feng saw hints of cunning in its face!

“Cunning?”

Qin Feng’s heart skipped a beat. Before he could have a second thought, he saw the Eight Diagrams Golden Light shining from the tortoise’s back, like the Heavenly Treasure Mirror, shining straight onto the space in front of him, directly wiping out the Space Power that enveloped him and exposing his form in the open air.

And it didn’t end there. He saw the tortoise open its mouth wide and the Spiritual Tree it had previously swallowed whole flew out of its mouth, landing straight on Qin Feng.

Qin Feng reflexively reached out to catch the Spiritual Tree in his hands.

“Daoist Fellow, our agreement has been fulfilled; I have snatched this treasure for you. From now on, we owe each other nothing and shall not meet again. Farewell!”

The Spirit Turtle spoke these words at an incredibly fast pace and then, with a flash, bypassed Qin Feng and escaped rapidly into the distance.

“…”

Qin Feng blinked, only then realizing he had been tricked by a tortoise!

This piqued his curiosity as he wondered how the tortoise had discovered him. Now in retrospect, the tortoise’s intention of fleeing from the beginning was already quite clear, and his hiding place was not along the route the White Dragon had flown him in on. To be precautious, he had already deviated from the original direction, and yet under such circumstances, he was still found by a tortoise.

“Roar…”

The two fierce beasts had already pounced close, and upon seeing the Spiritual Tree in Qin Feng’s hands, especially the sight of the Spirit Fruit still on the small tree, they immediately became ecstatic with joy. Without discriminating the authenticity, they rushed towards him excitedly.

“Idiots, this is fake!”

Qin Feng cursed in annoyance, but he had no choice but to use his Escape Skill to evade the attack of the two fierce beasts.
