My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

Chapter 335: Subduing the Turtle Hermit, a series of lies

The giant turtle looked at the Dragon Palace hidden in the mud which he had spent a lot of effort to create two days ago, and now it was about to be discovered.

It couldn't help but feel anxious, and immediately swung its feet forward, ready to stop the man and the snake. However, before it swam far, it immediately sensed an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

But at this time, its mind was focused on stopping the big black snake, so it didn't think too much and continued to swim forward.

But just when it approached the man and the snake within a few hundred meters, it sensed a vague sense of oppression, but it ignored it and continued to move forward.

But the closer it got, the stronger the feeling of oppression became. When it was only a hundred meters away from Jiang Li, it didn't dare to move forward anymore, because just now, its paddling legs suddenly disobeyed its commands for a moment.

It suddenly froze for a moment, and although it recovered after a moment, it knew that if it got closer, it might not even be able to move its legs.

There was no way. It looked at the big black snake that had already drilled into the mud and knew it couldn't stop it, so it shifted its target to Jiang Li.

It opened its mouth wide and a whirlpool formed in its mouth, sucking the surrounding lake water into its mouth and compressing it into a water ball.

After accumulating power, its magic power suddenly exploded, and the compressed water ball in its mouth shot towards Jiang Li at an extremely fast speed.

Jiang Li had been paying attention to Mo Ying burrowing into the ground. The attacker was a turtle with excellent concealment, so he didn't notice anything and was hit hard by the water ball technique.

Fortunately, Jiang Li is now protected by the water-repelling properties of the dragon ball, so the water ball did not hit him. However, the huge force carried by the water ball still caused the surrounding water waves to shake.

Jiang Li immediately realized that there was something behind him, so he used the master-servant contract to call Mo Ying back, while he himself stared at the direction of the attack.

He hoped to use the light to see what was in the darkness, but after looking for a long time, he still couldn't see what it was.

However, based on its round, dark outline, Jiang Li could roughly guess that this might be the old turtle he had been looking for for many days in vain.

At this time, Mo Ying also emerged from the mud. He swam to Jiang Li and asked, "Master, why did you call me? I just went down and made an important discovery. Below..."

"Okay, let's not rush this matter. Take me to see the black shadow in front of us. Is it the old turtle we are looking for?"

After interrupting Mo Ying, Jiang Li stepped onto its head and ordered it to go towards the black shadow in front.

Mo Ying didn't say much after hearing this. He just swam forward with his tail. When the old turtle saw Mo Ying coming out of the mud, he felt something was wrong and immediately turned around and fled backwards.

It had seen the fight between the big black snake and the catfish monster a few days ago. It was a bloody fight. How could it, an old turtle that was not good at fighting, dare to face it?

However, with such a big turtle shell on its back, how could it possibly swim faster than Mo Ying? It was almost caught up before it had escaped a few hundred meters.

Moreover, the closer Mo Ying got, the greater the impact of the Xuanyuan Sword on Jiang Li had on it. In the end, its legs and feet became uncontrollable and it slowly stopped.

Jiang Li was already close to it at this time, "Where did you come from, monster? Why did you sneak attack me!"

Jiang Li knew very well where it came from, and he asked this question on purpose just to hear about its origin.

Upon hearing this, the old turtle immediately explained, "I am not a monster, but the god of Dongting Lake. Many people on the shore worship me. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself!"

When Jiang Li heard that it was indeed this guy, many questions arose in his mind, such as its origin, why it attacked him, and whether it knew where the Dragon Palace was.

In short, there are a lot of problems, but the dragon ball in his hand can't last that long. Twelve or thirteen minutes have passed since he started diving, digging and chasing. If he delays any longer, the energy in the dragon ball will be exhausted.

So he simply said to it: "It must be so. Are you willing to go to the shore with me and let these villagers identify you? If you are a man-eating monster, I will kill you on the spot!"

When the old turtle heard this, he was not afraid. Instead, he knew that Jiang Li was going to go ashore and away from the two stone piers, so he agreed readily.

Seeing that it agreed so readily, Jiang Li was very confused. He thought it was playing some tricks and looked at it unfriendlyly.

However, when he thought about the promise he had made to the villagers, he could not go back on his word and kill it directly, so he simply stopped hesitating and let Mo Ying swim behind it, driving the old turtle, which had already resumed its activities, towards the surface of the water.

A dragon and a turtle quickly surfaced one after the other. The people waiting on the boat suddenly saw such a large turtle shell floating up and immediately took out their machine gun spells to prepare for attack.

But then they saw Jiang Li and Mo Ying also surfaced, and they relaxed a little.

After learning the details through questioning, they all breathed a sigh of relief and put down their weapons.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Jiang Li urged the old turtle to swim to the shore, while he stood behind Mo Ying, and the people left on the boat followed behind it.

Just like that, in just over twenty minutes, they reached the shore. Jiang Li asked the villagers to identify it and confirmed that it was the Turtle Fairy that the villagers were talking about.

Then he naturally pretended to apologize and then asked about the situation between it and the catfish spirit.

What Jiang Li never expected was that the old turtle actually spoke human language and explained everything to him vividly.

"My Lord, you may not know that I was originally an ordinary turtle in Dongting Lake. Over time, I gained spiritual wisdom and gradually embarked on the path of cultivation!"

"From then on, I dug a cave in the lake to practice. After a while, it was discovered by fishermen. Seeing my magical powers, they worshipped me as the lake god. I was greedy for the incense and offerings, so I accepted it!"

"During that time, I rescued fishermen who fell into the water and received their incense and offerings. I was quite comfortable. But two hundred years ago, that catfish demon came out of nowhere and fought with me!"

"Unfortunately, although I have practiced for a long time, my body is not very flexible. I failed to defeat it and lost my cave. From then on, I wandered in this lake. Although I helped the villagers, I was no longer the lake god!"

Jiang Li was shocked at this guy. Not only could he transmit sound through telepathy, but he could also speak human language. He had already finished speaking and thanked him.

"Now that you have helped me get rid of this monster that has occupied my cave, I am very grateful. In the future, if you need me to do anything, I will do it without hesitation!"

After that, he said that he would go and tell the villagers the good news, hoping to be the first to get there.

But Jiang Li was such an old man, how could he not hear such a lie with so many loopholes?
