Chapter 175 - 125: The Legacy of the Dragon Turtle_2
“Dragon-Turtle Egg?”
“I wonder if this so-called Dragon Turtle has any relation to the Dragon Turtle in the legends of the real world?”
The name of the stone egg made Su Nan’s eyes light up.
In the legends of the real world, the Dragon Turtle is a divine turtle and one of the auspicious beasts in the myths.
If the Dragon Turtle egg in his hand is indeed a Dragon Turtle from those legends, then he would have made a fortune.
“The vitality is about to run out; there really is a problem with these eggs.”
Regarding the problem with these eggs, Su Nan was not surprised. If there was no problem with these eggs, the resentful demon transformed from the Turtle King wouldn’t have thought of letting him take the eggs away.
All six eggs were the same size and had the same introduction. Su Nan collected them one by one.
Just as he picked up the last egg, a game prompt appeared before his eyes.
[You have come into contact with the Dragon Turtle Egg, triggering the Mainline Task. Please check the Task Panel for detailed information.]
“A mainline task has come out?”
Now Su Nan knew what it meant to have double happiness coming at once. First, he gained the Dragon Turtle Egg, and then he got the Mainline Task. This kind of good fortune was the first time for him.
Because he was currently using the role of Zhang Yang, the task he obtained naturally belonged to Zhang Yang.
Opening the Task Panel.
In addition to “Demonic Emperor’s Bloodline,” Zhang Yang’s Mainline Task now had another one called “The Legacy of the Dragon Turtle.”
[Mainline Task: The Legacy of the Dragon Turtle]
[In ancient times, there were twelve auspicious beasts, one of which was named Dragon Turtle. A thousand years ago, a Dragon Turtle was born, inheriting the celestial fortune. It was born with the Spirit Level, entered the Xuan-level in ten years, broke through to the King Level in fifty years, and reached the Emperor Level in five hundred years.]
[Three hundred years ago, the Dragon Turtle began to breed offspring. However, during this process, it was targeted by another Demon Emperor Realm monster and was seriously injured in a sneak attack. Its six eggs’ development stalled, causing congenital deficiencies.]
[In order to make up for the congenital deficiencies of the six eggs, the Dragon Turtle didn’t hesitate to use its origin to replenish them. Two hundred years ago, the six eggs finally made up for their deficiencies, but the Dragon Turtle’s consumption of its origin worsened its injuries and it died in a lake.] [Unfortunately, although the six Dragon Turtle eggs have made up for their congenital deficiencies, they cannot hatch due to the lack of hatching conditions. Their vitality is gradually lost, and in a short time, these Dragon Turtle eggs will lose the possibility of hatching due to the exhaustion of their vitality.]
[Task Phase One: Hatch the Dragon Turtle Eggs.]
[Task Difficulty: Four-star]
[Task Reward: Spirit Grade Bloodline, Spirit Grade Demon Technique, 45 Demon Power Points, Dragon Turtle Essence Blood]
[Task Countdown: 7 Days]
“One of the twelve auspicious beasts! Emperor-level divine turtle!”
Su Nan was overjoyed.
Even if this Dragon Turtle is not the Dragon Turtle from the legends of the real world, the title “one of the twelve auspicious beasts” alone is enough to prove that this Dragon Turtle is extraordinary.
However, when he saw the countdown at the end of the task, Su Nan’s heart, which had been happy originally, sank instantly.
“Let me hatch these nearly vitality-depleted eggs in seven days? What kind of joke is this!”
Su Nan’s face darkened, as he thought that if they were normal eggs, he might be able to hatch them within seven days.
But now, these turtle eggs were already petrified, and there was almost no vitality left. How was he supposed to hatch them within seven days?
Moreover, according to the task introduction, these Dragon Turtle Eggs cannot be hatched easily, as they require specific conditions.
But he didn’t even know what those conditions were!
“Let’s leave this place first and talk about it later. After reaching Tianyun County, I’ll go to the Tiangong Pavilion and see if I can buy any information about this.”
Su Nan had spent too points of Qi Luck to obtain the six Dragon Turtle Eggs. If the task fails, not only will he lose a task, but he will also lose six divine turtles! The cost of failure was too high. He would find a way to hatch the turtle eggs at any cost.
Leaving space, Su Nan quickly left the cave as the lake water pressed in on him.
The moment he left the cave, the huge turtle-shell-like hidden reef at the bottom of the lake sank rapidly.
Su Nan surfaced and quickly swam towards the shore.
A few minutes later, he returned to the official road, and his wet clothes were dried in an instant as the Fire Power surged through them.
Only after doing these things did he head towards the direction where Ji Changfeng and the others were.
However, he hadn’t walked far when he found bursts of laughter and rising flames from the direction where Ji Changfeng and the others were in the distance.
“No good, the carriage is under attack from demons!”
Su Nan’s face turned solemn as he quickly headed towards the direction where the others were, while also looking at the Personal Information Panel.
32 points of demon power consumed, the original Great Accomplishment of Nether Wolf Bloodline is now turned into Perfection.
It’s not over yet, with just a thought, he decisively uses a foreknowledge opportunity.
Flares rise, thunderous rumblings shaking ears.
The carriage where the Demon Hunting Bureau members were has unknowingly been surrounded by over a dozen monsters.
Most of these monsters were only mortal-level, but the three leading them were spirit-level.
Moreover, they were not ordinary spirit-level monsters; they were at the peak of the Spirit Level.
Facing the assault of the monsters, Ji Changfeng’s face turned extremely ugly.
At this moment, his strength was still far from fully recovered. If facing mortal-level monsters, he could kill them with one slap. But against spirit-level monsters, he could barely resist.
The situations of the other three were no different.
In just one minute of battle, their yet to be fully recovered strength was already consumed by more than half.
Song Zhi said in a heavy voice, “Hold on, everyone. With such a commotion here, Brother Zhang Yang should be able to return soon.”
Miao Hong, while desperately blocking the monsters’ attack, shook his head, “What’s the use of him coming back? There are three peak spirit-level monsters, even if Zhang Yang came, he would only be courting death.”
Cheng Dao also spoke heavily, “Three peak spirit-level monsters. Even if we were all at our peak, we would be no match, let alone with Zhang Yang. We have no hope of escaping.”
The three of them continued to resist the relentless attacks of the dozen or so mortal-level monsters, struggling with the onslaught.
Not far from them, the three spirit-level monsters watched the three men like lambs waiting for slaughter.
The appearances of the three monsters were quite similar.
One of them was covered in black feathers.
Another was covered in white feathers while another one was covered in gray feathers.
At this moment, the monster covered in white feathers stared at Ji Changfeng and seemed to think of something. With surprise and delight, it said, “Big Brother, I recognize that old fellow. He’s Ji Changfeng, the Bureau Chief of the Demon Hunting Bureau in Nine Pavilion County!”
“What? Ji Changfeng?”
“Third Brother, are you sure you’re not mistaken?”
Upon hearing this, the black-feathered monster was shocked, somewhat disbelieving.
The gray-feathered monster was also suspicious, “Impossible, Third Brother, you must be wrong. I heard that Ji Changfeng is a late Xuan Stage existence, a powerful person who ranks high in the whole Tianyun County.”
“How could this old fellow be him? If he were Ji Changfeng, we three brothers would have been dead long ago.”
Hearing his two elder brothers’ doubts, the white-feathered monster also began to wonder, staring closely at Ji Changfeng again.
As if thinking of something, it immediately said, “Big Brother, I’m not mistaken. He is Ji Changfeng. If I hadn’t run fast last time in Little Li Village, he would have killed me.”
“Are you sure?” The black-feathered monster was still somewhat skeptical.
“Big Brother, I am absolutely sure. He is Ji Changfeng, and he is clearly severely injured now with hardly any strength left.”
The white-feathered monster was very confident.
Now, both the black and gray-feathered monsters were struck with disbelief.
The two monsters exchanged glances and simultaneously attacked Ji Changfeng.
“Chief, be careful!”
Song Zhi and the others were shocked, instinctively shouting, and met the attack of the two monsters in the first instant.
“Chief?”
Hearing Song Zhi’s words, the two monsters’ eyes lit up instantly, and they couldn’t help but rejoice, “So, he’s really Ji Changfeng!”
“Hahaha, it’s great. If we capture Ji Changfeng and present him to the White Water Demon King, the Demon King will definitely be very pleased!”
The two monsters laughed loudly, their eyes gazing at Ji Changfeng and the others filled with fervor.
After a while, calming their excitement, the black-feathered monster asked in surprise, “Who did this to him? Who could have reduced Ji Changfeng to this state?”
“Who cares? No matter who hurt him, it’s us brothers who are lucky this time.”
Staring at the white-feathered monster, Ji Changfeng’s eyes surged with killing intent, “I didn’t expect there were still fish that escaped the net at Little Li Village last time. All of you monsters who eat humans deserve to die.”
Confronted with Ji Changfeng’s gaze, the white-feathered monster was unafraid. Instead, it laughed wildly, “Ji Changfeng, you didn’t expect it, did you? You failed to kill me last time, but this time you’ll fall into my hands.”p> Then, it looked at the black-feathered monster and urged, “Big Brother, let’s capture him soon. I can’t wait to taste the flesh of a Xuan Stage martial artist.”
The black-feathered monster replied unhurriedly, “No rush. Didn’t you hear what they said? They have another person. We’ll lure that one here and catch them all at once..”
