Chapter 55

55 Johnny turtle (1)

The situation of the sela River Bridge was very special.

As the only bridge that connected the two banks of the sela River, its existence itself could be described as a miracle.

It was a building that had existed before the catastrophe.

After experiencing tribulations, he stood tall.

Compared to the ruins of the other forgotten bridges on the sela River.

This bridge was naturally shrouded in a thick historical aura and mysterious colors.

In the early years, this bridge was once regarded as a cursed land.

Because at that time.

Any adventurer who tried to cross the bridge would disappear without a trace in the fog and strong wind that suddenly rose on the river surface!

The next day.

People would see their floating bodies on the river.

There was a theory that these corpses were the origin of the kindwater ghost gu.

After a long time.

Naturally, the bridge was considered a terrifying building that carried a curse.

However, this misunderstanding was gradually resolved.

This was because some people had tried to row across the sela River, but the outcome was the same as crossing the bridge.

After a series of groping, people finally realized that the curse itself was not on the bridge, but on the bottomless River!

The rumor that ” a terrible monster was hiding at the bottom of the sela River ” also began to spread.

After that, most people gave up on crossing the river.

Paramount Manor and Jewel City were also in an absolute stalemate.

Until one day.

An adventurer with both intelligence and courage came to this place.

After careful exploration and research, he found a way to cross the sela River safely.

That was to walk over the bridge on the coldest days of the year.

There would be no fog or wind.

Because at that time, the surface of the sela River was covered in thick ice!

That adventurer became the first person to successfully cross the sela River.

He had gone to Jewel City and returned here.

With everyone’s support, he built paramount Manor by himself.

The name ‘smart Alan’ spread like wildfire.

In order to prevent others from entering by mistake.

Alan had built a fortress at the end of the bridge.

There were two guard teams stationed near the fortress.

The key to the iron gate of the bridge was hidden in Alan’s Secret room.

As a result, only the Lord Himself had the ability to open the two thick iron doors.

In view of Alan’s reputation, the adventurers did not dare to say anything.

Everyone just had to wait for the arrival of winter.

But something unexpected happened.

Last winter, Alan did not open the iron gate.

The ” weather sorcerer ” of the Lord’s Manor claimed that the weather was hot last winter, and the ice on the river was not thick enough, so crossing the river was dangerous.

Hence, the group of adventurers who wanted to go to gemstone city stayed in dawn town.

They were prepared to wait for another year.

Who knew that after this wait ...

What he got was the news that the bridge was still not open this winter!

..

This was the information Roger had obtained after spending 10 bronze tokens.

The notice was newly posted.

The noticeboard was surrounded by at least 50 to 60 people, all of whom were strong adventurers.

They discussed in low voices, expressing their opinions.

Someone muttered in a low voice, venting his dissatisfaction.

However, no one dared to stand up and question the decision of the Lord’s Manor.

Lan’s prestige was evident.

He read the announcement carefully again.

Roger turned around and walked into the town.

...

..

The situation in dawnlight town was better than Roger had imagined.

..

[ Johnny turtle: level 22, HP: 470, defense: 49, weak lightning ]

[ trait 1: absolute Defense ]

[ absolute defense: the Johnny turtle can withdraw its limbs and head into its shell. At this stage, its defense will be greatly improved. ]

[ trait 2: ferocious assault ]

[ ferocious assault: the Johnny turtle has extremely fast movement speed, and its movement speed will be greatly increased, especially when it is attacking with all its might. ]

..

While Roger was stunned, the Johnny turtle pounced on him.

Its target was the bulging secret compartment on Roger’s waist!

Roger nimbly jumped back, pulled out the blue deathtrap sword, and suddenly stabbed!

Clang clang clang clang!

The tip of the sword slashed across the Johnny turtle’s neck, leaving a sharp electric arc on the turtle shell.

“It’s indeed an absolute defense.”

Roger gritted his teeth and put away the blue deathtrap sword with a little heartache.

The Johnny turtle on the ground nimbly stretched out its limbs and head, exposing its fangs that were so sharp that they were somewhat sinister. It let out a low growl at Roger.

It closed in step by step.

Roger could only step back.

He had just read the monster Manual and had some understanding of this thing.

This kind of Johnny turtle was paramount Manor’s greatest hidden danger!

As a 3-circle magic beast, not only did it have amazing defense, but its movement speed was also faster than most adventurers.

Although they didn’t hurt people, they were also evil.

Most of paramount Manor’s residents had been robbed or stolen by Johnny turtles.

Food, weapons, gold and silver, clothes ...

I want all the Johnny turtles!

From the attributes.

This thing had high HP and defense, making it very difficult to kill.

The most troublesome thing was ...

Their desire for revenge was especially strong!

Once you provoked it and failed to kill it, then there would definitely be endless trouble.

Even the ” intelligent Alan ” was helpless against this kind of monster.

..

Roger didn’t like this kind of monster.

40 points of defense.

Perhaps only red Moon could break through his defense.

Moreover, Red moon’s durability dropped rapidly with each slash.

“Forget it, forget it, the loss outweighs the gain.”

After dealing with the Johnny turtle for a while, Roger decided to retreat.

He activated the cloud ladder leap and retreated while fighting.

However, the speed of the Johnny turtle was far beyond Roger’s imagination.

With the help of the cloud ladder leap, he actually couldn’t completely shake off the other party.

When they were about to reach charcoal hotel.

Roger’s face finally darkened.

He stopped and looked around. Then, he took out an exquisite bracelet and put it on his wrist.

The Johnny turtle pounced over aggressively.

Roger’s lips moved.

[ Mystra’s seventh spell ]!

A pale electric light bloomed from his palm.

A terrifying arc of light cut through the night sky and struck the monster’s body.

..

[ you have killed 1 Johnny turtle. ]

[ you have gained 25 XP. ]

..

The next second.

Roger stared at the burnt monster on the ground.

He couldn’t help but exclaim,

“Wow~Oh~”

..

[ your lifespan has been increased by 31536000 seconds. ]

..
