Chapter 948 Turtle And Tortoise

Chapter 948 Turtle And Tortoise

Elsewhere, a female demihuman with a sad expression was sitting alone on a rock at the edge of the ocean, with a brown turtle shell on her back. Her gaze was filled with longing, but she continued to let out disappointed sighs. "Mother, I'm tired of that idiot, and I'm thinking about leaving this realm. However, I also find it hard to do so, especially since this ocean is your final resting place, so I won't be able to talk to you like this if I leave. Moreover, I only know about your birth realm, but it's too far away, so I'm not confident enough to reach that place with my current cultivation."

*Tap... Tap...*

She suddenly heard footsteps walking towards her, so she immediately turned to the person approaching her. However, her expression changed to surprise when she saw a young man carrying a huge turtle shell on his back. His appearance was completely different from hers, and he looked more like a human. With narrowed eyes, she observed him, and she felt certain she had never seen him before, so she was certain that he was an intruder.

She then pulled out her weapon, a long stick, and pointed to the young man, releasing her cultivation at the Lower Venerable God Realm while coldly asking him. "Who are you? How could an intruder like you enter our realm without alerting Huang Yin and the others? Why are you bothering me?"

"Hey, now, you don't need to be this cold, okay? I came here because I felt something unusual from this ocean, but I didn't expect to meet you here, so I'm sorry if I disturbed you." The young man said this with a relaxed smile as he approached her. "I am indeed a newcomer to this realm, and I came with many other people. However, we have no intention of doing anything bad here, and we just want to practice before we go to the mysterious tower."

"That mysterious tower?" She was surprised to hear that, especially since she had heard about the tower herself and harbored hopes of going there, but she was unsure of the route to get there.

"Yes." The young man nodded to her. "We have too many enemies who are much stronger than us, so we want to go there to improve our abilities, especially since there are so many powerful and unique beasts there."

Sensing no malicious intent from him, she lowered her guard slightly, but she did not retract her cultivation or put away her weapon. "Who are you? Where do you guys come from?"

"Hehe." The young man chuckled before answering his questions one by one. "My name is Wu Gui, and I am not a turtle like you, but I am a tortoise. Aside from that, I am not a demihuman; I am a pure beast. As for my realm, I come from a hidden realm in the corner of this universe, and I was tasked by my race to find someone who could help us face our enemies."

After hearing that, she examined Wu Gui up and down, and his aura made her realize that he was truly a pure beast. Furthermore, she sensed that his bloodline was significantly stronger than hers, and if he didn't control it, it would greatly suppress her.

"Hmm?" Ya Xixian raised her eyebrows. "Did those humans really save me? According to my race's history, they are the most evil living creatures, and they enslaved us for so long, so I find it hard to believe that they would be willing to save you."

"Ha ha ha." Wu Gui laughed loudly before turning to her. "That is one of the weaknesses of you demihumans, especially since you continue to live by thinking about past history. Aren't there many evil demihumans among you guys?"

Ya Xixian acknowledged this with a nod. "Many of us are evil, and they always try to destroy the peace between us. However, our leader punishes and kills them, but people like them keep appearing."

"That's right." Wu Gui nodded to her. "Like us demihumans and beasts, there are many good humans out there, but there are also many of them who are extremely cruel, like the people who colonized your race in the past. That's why we must continue to be vigilant towards everyone, including our own race, and we must also continue to strive hard to protect ourselves. After all, our lives are our own responsibility, so we cannot put our lives in other people's hands."

Ya Xixian nodded in understanding and fell into thinking for a long time, especially since she had just met Wu Gui, and she didn't know anything about him yet, so she felt hesitant to ask what was on her mind.

"Do you want to join me?" Wu Gui inquired as he walked towards the water, confusing Ya Xixian. "There is something at the bottom of this ocean, so I want to go there to check it out. Unlike you, I can dive very deep to the seabed, and I can take you with me if you want to see the beauty of the deep sea."

Hearing that, Ya Xixian immediately stored her weapon and jumped off the rock before following Wu Gui, but her jaw immediately dropped when he returned to his original form. "So huge! Moreover, I recognize your turtle head and snake tail, and you are the black tortoise mythical beast!"

"Ha ha ha!" Wu Gui burst out laughing after hearing that. "You're right, I'm the black tortoise, so you can hop into my shell now, and I'll take you for a ride on the seabed."

After she jumped onto the shell, Wu Gui covered them with his water element, and he immediately took Ya Xixian to dive to the bottom of the ocean at full speed.
