The snapping turtle realized that its enemy was rather powerful, and that its energy shield might not last for long. Therefore, it turned and ran.
It ran away in a pretty straightforward way by rushing forward swiftly like a heavy bulldozer, bumping away everything that blocked its way without turning at all.
"It's running away! Don't let it get into the water!" Wu Chengyue frowned and gave a shout, then quickly flashed off the tree and chased behind the turtle.
The snapping turtle was not only huge and strong, but was also especially nimble. It was very fast; it rushed up every hill it saw and turned before every hole before it. It had been ignoring the attacks from Wu Chengyue and his people completely, as it was able to defend itself against any kind of superpower.
Wu Chengyue's lightning attack fell on its back and ended up being blocked by its energy shield as well.
Wu Chengyue and his people chased behind the turtle while launching attacks from time to time, trying to keep the turtle away from West Lake. On hour later, they run into Lin Qiao and her zombies, who were following behind a gigantic crocodile.
Reasonably speaking, the two enormous amphibians would certainly start a fight when they saw each other. But today, they didn't do it. Instead of fighting, they were happy to see each other.
In fact, their scents attracted them to each other.
Boom! The snapping turtle and the crocodile bumped into each other in the heads, then immediately turned in a back-to-back position, facing the two groups of enemies.
They used to be arch enemies. But at the moment, they had become friends. They now shared the same goal—drive away those intruders.
Lin Qiao and Wu Chengyue were about a hundred meters away from each other. Between them were the two gigantic mutated beasts. At that moment, they all stopped moving.
"Eh, I can't believe we ran into them!" Lin Qiao clicked her tongue as she covered her forehead with a hand and knitted her brows, as if her teeth were aching.
She was trying to avoid them. But unexpectedly, the crocodile led her straight to Wu Chengyue.
She had sensed the vibes that belonged to Wu Chengyue and his people from a long distance away though. She didn't plan to give up on the crocodile for Wu Chengyue, so she had prepared herself for this meeting actually.
However, at the sight of Wu Chengyue's smiling pretty face, she couldn't help but have her teeth ache. Yes, she felt that her teeth were aching!
"Eh? There is a flower on the turtle's back," Qiu Lili landed by Lin Qiao's side as she stared at the beautiful flower on the giant turtle's back.
"Are they host and a parasite?" Lin Qiao glanced at Wu Chengyue's target and said, "I saw an electric current in the middle of the purple flower. I think it's the thunder beast that Wu Chengyue was looking for. The turtle has a strong energy shield on its back, so I guess it's good at defending. No wonder they still haven't defeated these two creatures. His lightning seems unable to hurt the turtle's shell."
The snapping turtle seemed unharmed. Unlike it, the crocodile was not in good shape. The bony scales on its back seemed to have been corroded by something, and its skin was covered in slashing wounds. Those wounds weren't lethal, but looked terrible.
However, the crocodile's vibe wasn't weakened. On the contrary, it grew even fiercer than before.
"Are the two of them forming an alliance? No, it should be… the three of them," Moli stood on top of a rock while looking at the two gigantic creatures from a distance. She wasn't a fighter, so she kept a distance away from the battlefield and watched.
"These mutated animals are all smart. They'll look for help once they realize that they have no chance to win," Xiao Licheng showed up by her side and nodded. Then, he glanced at her and continued, "Don't get too close. You don't want to get hurt accidentally."
Moli looked at him expressionlessly and said, "I'm not that weak."
She was a spirit power possessor, but she was not weak physically. She was strong enough to protect herself.
"Alright. If only we have a way to break the turtle's energy shield… Our attacks are ineffective to it. Not even your spirit power can hurt it," Xiao Licheng sighed.
While speaking, he looked at the crocodile. That creature was huge in size as well, but at the very least, Lin Qiao's attacks had shown an effect.
Currently, as the two beasts had joined hands, the humans and zombies had no choice but to stop attacking for now. They couldn't continue hunting without talking to each other. Otherwise, how were they supposed to split the harvests when the targets died?
"This turtle seems to have a special way of defense. Haven't you found a solution yet?" Lin Qiao, Qiu Lili and the others moved slightly closer to the two creatures, and so did Wu Chengyue and his people.
"No. Nothing can hurt it. Not even spirit power can penetrate its energy shield. I wonder if you guys know how to deal with it?" Wu Chengyue looked at Lin Qiao with a smile. His pretty, slender eyes curved like a crescent, and his lips were in a perfect arc of a smile.
"What can we possibly do to solve the problem that not even you can solve," Lin Qiao looked at him blandly and said, "I won't touch your turtle. I only want my crocodile."
The snapping turtle heard Lin Qiao, soit immediately expanded the energy shield and brought the huge crocodile into its protection. The turtle seemed to tell Lin Qiao that it was impossible to split them, and that the three of them were now a group.
Wu Chengyue smilingly pointed at the three creatures and said, "I think that's going to be a little difficult."
Lin Qiao turned and saw what happened, feeling speechless.
"I guess we have to open up the energy shield for them if we want the crocodile," Qiu Lili quietly moved behind Lin Qiao and said.
While Lin Qiao and Wu Chengyue were still talking, the crocodile and the turtle had already turned around and stood side by side, eyes fixed on them. They both had huge, hideous faces, and eyes filled with ferocity.
"Roar…" The turtle agitatedly raised a forefoot, stomping against the ground from time to time. It slightly raised its head and stared at the enemies, seeming about to charge at them at the next moment.
The crocodile was the same. It wagged its huge tail restlessly, slapping on the ground. Meanwhile, it opened its mouth slightly and exposed its sharp teeth which were as large as a baby's arms and shining with a scary cold light, telling people about its bone-crushing occlusal force.
"Roar!" Next, the two enormous creatures launched an attack. They roared thunderously as they raised their forelimbs and rushed at Wu Chengyue and the others.
"Oh, they're attacking!" Seeing that, Qiu Lili immediately threw her ponytails backward and fixed her sparkling eyes on the two colossal beasts which were charging over along with a fierce and violent vibe.
