Chapter 334: Turtle Hermit Finally Appears



Chapter 334: Turtle Hermit Finally Appears

At this time, not only have his injuries fully recovered, but his demonic power has also increased significantly, which can be said to be a huge increase in combat effectiveness.

Now it just needs to wait until it goes back and spend some time refining the demonic power, and then it can be transformed into its own strength.

As for the thousand pounds of flesh and blood, if Jiang Li hadn't been afraid that this guy would eat too much and affect his search for the Dragon Palace in the water, he could have easily swallowed the remaining thousand pounds of catfish meat.

Back to Jiang Li, he stood beside Mo Ying and walked to the center of the lake, jumped onto the boat and waited with everyone.

Then he ordered Mo Ying to dive underwater to see if he could find the location of the Dragon Palace.

Mo Ying heard this and said in a voice transmission, "Master, don't worry, I'll be back soon!"

As it spoke, it went straight to the bottom of the lake. With a swish of its tail, water splashed all over the sky, and its huge snake body disappeared under the surface of the lake in an instant.

Twenty minutes passed like this, and suddenly there was a splash of water in the distance, and then Mo Ying's head suddenly appeared on the water, gasping for breath.

Jiang Li ordered his men to row the boat over, and then asked, "How is it, have you found the Dragon Palace?"

Mo Ying shook his head upon hearing this, "I haven't found it yet. Let me go down and look for it again!"

Jiang Li didn't say anything when he heard it, he just stood on the boat waiting for it to calm down. After only a few minutes, Mo Ying took a deep breath and dived into the water again.

Then after another twenty minutes of waiting, it emerged from the water again from another place. Jiang Li ordered people to row the boat up again, but the answer they got was still that it was not found.

This happened fifteen or sixteen times in a row. When Mo Ying came up again, he finally brought back some useful news.

Jiang Li looked at the time and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. He simply took out a few cans of food, ate a few bites, and then jumped onto the head of Mo Ying who was already resting.

After giving everyone a few words of instruction, Mo Ying dived into the water again at the command.

What was different this time was that Jiang Li also went into the water. He held the dragon ball in one hand to activate it and isolate the water source, and with the other hand he grabbed one of Mo Ying's horns on top of his head and went underwater with it.

He was also carrying the Xuanyuan Sword on his back, which was the best way he could think of to avoid a conflict with the old turtle.

After all, he is a normal monster. After feeling the majestic aura of humanity in the Xuan-Yuan Sword, he will instinctively move away. In that way, there will naturally be no chance of being ambushed.

As Mo Ying dived deeper, the light in the water became dimmer. When Mo Ying stopped diving, there was only a faint light in the water and the visibility was only two or three meters.

Although one’s cultivation has reached the level of Heavenly Master, one can already project spiritual consciousness externally.

But Jiang Li had just entered the Heavenly Master realm after all, and had not had time to practice much, so his current spiritual awareness could only project outwards within a distance of three feet and could not be used to observe the surrounding environment at all.

At this moment, Jiang Li took out a headlamp from the storage ring and put it on.

Later, he felt unsafe, so he took out the night-shining pearl he got from the coffin of the Corpse King of Pingshan and used it for lighting.

Speaking of which, Jiang Li was afraid that this thing might have radiation, so he placed it next to animals and plants for testing. As a result, after two or three months, all the animals and plants that volunteered to participate in the experiment showed no changes.

Only then did he decide to carry this thing with him, but he didn't expect that he would actually need to use it in this situation.

It’s strange to say, the brightness of this night pearl is not particularly high elsewhere, but for some reason, its green light is abnormally bright in the dark water.

However, Jiang Li does not have time to care about why it is so green. Now he only cares about where the Dragon Palace is. After all, the energy stored in this dragon ball can only last for twenty minutes.

If he delayed too long, he would have to go back to the shore and inject magic power into it again. It took him a whole month to fill up the dragon ball.

As for the fact that he didn't infuse it with all his strength during that month, he just infused a little bit every night without affecting his own cultivation.

But this is still a terrifying reserve. If it is really used up, he thinks it will take at least four or five days to fill it up again.

Back to the topic, after Jiang Li took out the headlamp and the night-shining pearl, he immediately asked Mo Ying, "Where is the suspicious point you mentioned?"

Mo Ying immediately replied, "Just ahead, I saw two stone pillars in the mud. Looks suspicious."

As he said this, he swam forward.

Because Mo Ying had been here before, he was naturally familiar with the route at this moment. It only took him a dozen seconds to swim a hundred meters and arrive at two stone piers.

Jiang Li took a look with the help of the light and saw that there were indeed two large stone pillars standing abruptly in the mud, one meter above the ground. He saw that he didn't know what the stone pillars were made of, and their surfaces had long been covered with unknown algae.

But there was an obvious scratch on it, as if it had been rubbed by something, grinding away the algae on the surface and revealing the bluish-black stone inside.

Just as Jiang Li was puzzled, Mo Ying suddenly spoke up, "When I saw them standing there before, I rubbed them with my tail twice. I didn't expect to find the stones inside. Then I looked at their shapes and confirmed that they were two stone pillars!"

Jiang Li saw that the stone pillar was indeed strange, so he asked Mo Ying to move closer, and then he jumped onto the stone pillar.

Coming to the top of the stone pier, Jiang Li made a rough estimate and found that the stone pier was a standard cylinder with a diameter of about one meter. He used his feet to push away the algae on it and found that the top was very smooth.

He immediately thought that this might be the building in the Dragon Palace, but when he looked around, he could not see any building except for a stone pier three meters high.

"Could it be that this Dragon Palace has been completely destroyed?"

"But this shouldn't be the case. It doesn't make sense that all the other buildings would be destroyed and only two stone pillars would be left."

Suddenly, Jiang Li had an idea, "If these two are not stone pillars, but gate pillars, then everything makes sense!"

As he said this, he directly ordered Mo Ying to go between the two stone piers and drill downwards.

Although Mo Ying was a little confused when he heard this, he still did it.

It came to the middle of two stone piers, then turned its head and drilled into the mud. For some reason, the mud was still very soft after hundreds of years of sedimentation.

It only exerted a little strength and drilled into the mud. Suddenly, a huge object rose up from the mud in the distance. It opened its eyes and stared at the ink shadow that was drilling down.

Seeing that the situation was not right, it immediately used its four paws to support the ground and propped up its body buried in the mud.

As it moved, its huge body was revealed. This creature was none other than the Turtle Immortal that Jiang Li had sent people to look for for a long time.

I saw that its huge shell, which was nearly two meters in diameter, was covered with algae and moss, but beneath the moss and algae, there were patterns and runes symbolizing water ripples, waves, and whirlpools, which looked very ancient and magical.
