Er Wa Ventures Out to Save His Mother, Mysterious Water Turtle Follows!

Shi Bantian let out a sigh. He knew he couldn't control these Gourd Babies. Rather than let them sneak out to rescue their mother, it was better to let them go openly so he could at least prepare them.

Shi Bantian turned and patted Er Wa, Shi Yi, on the head, praying silently that nothing would go wrong.

The next day!

Shi Bantian woke up early, and Er Wa was already waiting by the gourd vine.

"Daddy... tell me about this so-called Spirit Hall. No matter how powerful they are, I'm going to crush them!"

Er Wa clenched his fists and said in a deep voice. The other Gourd Babies chimed in, talking over each other.

"Second Brother is invincible... If Second Brother goes, he can definitely save both Mother and Big Brother."

"That's right... Second Brother is invincible, Second Brother is invincible!"

Qi Wa, the purple gourd, also said in a childish voice, "Brother, you can do it! Daddy, you can do it too... You are all the best."

Seeing the harmonious scene, Shi Bantian smiled with relief. How he wished life could always be like this, with him, Xiao Xue, and these seven children, just traveling and enjoying the scenery. How comfortable that would be! Unfortunately...

Shi Bantian recalled the scene where Qian Daoliu had forcefully separated him and Xiao Xue, saying his bloodline was too lowly and he wasn't worthy of Xiao Xue. He never wanted to experience that kind of humiliation again.

"Alright, next I will tell you about the situation of Spirit Hall..."

Shi Bantian looked at all the Gourd Babies and said in a deep voice.

"Spirit Hall... is the most powerful force on the entire Douluo Continent, bar none. Their number of Spirit Masters is the largest on the Douluo Continent, even exceeding the combined total of the Star Dou Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire..."

"Besides that, they also possess the most Titled Douluo experts... Among them, the Great Enshrined Qian Daoliu is a level 99 Peerless Douluo, incredibly powerful."

For the rest of the day, they listened as Shi Bantian explained the situation on the Douluo Continent, the places he would pass through, the direction of Spirit Hall, and the people they might encounter.

Shi Yi listened intently with a serious expression. The image of Spirit Hall began to unfold in his mind. He was starting to understand now.

Why Big Brother was captured by Spirit Hall... Spirit Hall was indeed too powerful. However, he was still confident that he could rescue his mother and Big Brother... His Chong Tong was invincible!!!

The next morning, before the sun had risen, the entire forest was shrouded in a thin layer of mist, appearing exceptionally serene.

Shi Yi was seen with bags of various sizes on his back. The seemingly cumbersome turtle had become Shi Yi's mount.

This was, of course, the result of their discussion the previous night. Shi Yi's Martial Soul, Chong Tong, possessed extremely strong offensive and deceptive abilities, but it lacked defensive capabilities. Having a heavy turtle would be better.

Shi Yi waved his small hand, looking at Shi Bantian with reluctance, but his eyes were incredibly determined, as if a force was supporting him.

He said softly, "Daddy... Daddy, you must protect the little gourds. I will definitely rescue Mother and Big Brother."

Shi Bantian tightly clenched his fist, his heart filled with emotion and pride.

He nodded forcefully, his eyes glistening with tears, his voice choked with emotion, "Good child, Daddy believes you can do it!"

Shi Yi flashed a brilliant smile, which filled Shi Bantian with immense relief.

He continued to instruct, "Remember, if you can't win, run. Don't hesitate!"

Shi Yi obediently nodded, indicating he understood his father's words.

With that, the turtle, carrying Shi Yi, slowly moved away, gradually disappearing from Shi Bantian's sight.

Shi Bantian watched the receding figure, endless longing and worry surging in his heart.

His nose stung, and his eyes welled up, tears almost falling.

However, he suppressed them, not wanting the gourds on the vine to see his vulnerable side.

Only when Shi Yi could no longer see Shi Bantian waving goodbye did he let out a long sigh.

He thought to himself, Thank goodness, thank goodness, Daddy didn't suddenly change his mind.

Then, he looked down at the turtle beneath him and suddenly felt something was wrong. Although the turtle was huge, its speed was incredibly slow, as if every step required immense effort.

"Old Turtle, can you walk faster? Daddy can't see us anymore," Shi Yi couldn't help but complain. "If you're this slow, when will we ever get to Spirit Hall? You need to hurry up."

The turtle seemed to understand him, raised its head, and looked at him with an innocent expression.

"I... you said not to go too fast, and that we could only speed up after your daddy couldn't see us anymore," the turtle said slowly, a hint of helplessness in its voice.

The Mysterious Water Turtle was truly vexed. She really didn't want to come out with Shi Yi... Hadn't her Demonic Pattern White Tiger not returned yet? Now, if she followed, she'd likely be a burden too. However, she dared not refuse.

Shi Yi rolled his eyes, "But now Daddy can't see us anymore, can you speed up?"

The turtle nodded and then began to quicken its pace. However, its speed did not noticeably increase, remaining leisurely.

Shi Yi became a little anxious and urged, "Old Turtle, can't you go any faster? We need to get to Spirit Hall quickly. Mother and Big Brother are still waiting for me to save them."

The turtle sighed and said, "Little Ancestor, I'm doing my best. My speed was never fast to begin with, and carrying you, a little fellow, makes it even more strenuous. How about you get off and walk yourself?"

Shi Yi's eyes widened, and he said, "No! It's very slow even if I walk by myself. You're a turtle, you should have a turtle's speed."

The turtle shook its head helplessly and continued to try to speed up. Even so, its speed was still very slow.

After a while, Shi Yi started complaining again, "Old turtle, why are you still so slow? When will we get to Spirit Hall if we keep going like this!"

The turtle said aggrievedly, "Little ancestor, we're still a long way from Spirit Hall, I really can't go any faster. Why don't you just go by yourself? I can't carry you anymore." Shi Yi could only sigh helplessly when he heard this. He knew the turtle was right; they were indeed still very far from Spirit Hall. But he was simply too impatient, wishing he could fly to Spirit Hall immediately. He wondered how his elder brother and mother were doing.

Shi Yi suddenly narrowed his eyes, looking at the Mysterious Water Turtle below, as if energy was gathering!

Mysterious Water Turtle: "???"

Just then, the turtle suddenly accelerated, its speed becoming incredibly fast. Shi Yi was startled and quickly hugged the turtle's neck, asking, "Old turtle, why are you suddenly running so fast?"

The turtle chuckled awkwardly, "Haha, how is it? Am I amazing? Actually, I was just teasing you. I'm a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beast, how could I only have this much speed? Watch this!"

Damn it, if I don't run any faster, I'm afraid you'll roast me alive...

The Mysterious Water Turtle thought to itself.

Shi Yi's mouth fell open in surprise. He hadn't expected the turtle to be hiding its strength, nor that its speed would be so astonishing. If this continued, wouldn't they reach Spirit Hall very soon? He excitedly shouted, "Old turtle, you're too amazing! Let's hurry to Spirit Hall."

And so, the turtle ran forward at an astonishing speed, while Shi Yi excitedly anticipated rescuing his elder brother and mother.
