Black Water
"How do you plan to trade?" Lin Mu asked, looking at it.
The Old Sea Turtle said, "I hope you can let me go. If you do, all these things are yours."
Lin Mu and the others had some thoughts on their faces.
They came here to gain experience.
But it's also for the purpose of improving one's cultivation level.
These things right now can significantly improve their cultivation level.
Moreover, even if they gain experience, they may not necessarily obtain something of equal value.
Mei Yuhao said with some interest, "There's more than just this one Cloud Profound Stone. We can definitely go look for others."
Lin Mu's face showed some contemplation as he gazed at the Old Sea Turtle before him, remaining silent for a moment.
The Old Sea Turtle simply watched him quietly, a hint of expectation in its eyes.
"If I agree, will you give us all these things?" Lin Mu asked again.
The Old Sea Turtle nodded. "Of course!"
"Alright! We'll spare your Life Path," Lin Mu said.
"Thank you all." The Old Sea Turtle waved one hand, and the Fierce Beast Essence flew out and fell in front of them.
The Fierce Beast Essence emanated a faint aura of ferocity, resembling small, Fierce Beast.
However, these Fierce Beasts were all in a state of slumber.
"Grab the stuff and let's go!" Lin Mu said immediately.
After saying that, the group took the Fierce Beast Essence in their hands, looking at the Old Sea Turtle with some wariness in their eyes.
It was found that there was nothing else unusual about it.
The group slowly retreated, and only after they were more than ten meters away did they turn around and quickly leave.
Watching their retreating figures, a hint of malice flashed in the Old Sea Turtle's eyes, and he let out a cold laugh.
"Foolish humans."
After saying that, he turned around and climbed into the bottom of the Cloud Profound Stone.
Lin Mu and the others held these Fierce Beast Essence with excitement in their eyes.
With these things, their cultivation level can increase significantly.
"I wonder where this Old Sea Turtle got so many Fierce Beast Essence from, and they're still so well preserved," Mei Yuhao said.
"Who knows! If we can refine them all, we might be able to advance to the Third Order very soon," An Haochang.
Lin Mu nodded slightly.
They stopped when they were several miles from the sea.
They knew very well that these Demons were suppressed by the Cloud Profound Stone and could not leave Cloud Profound Stone.
Even if most of the Cloud Profound Stone is eroded, it won't work.
Looking at the Fierce Beast Essence in his hand, Lin Mu felt an urge for some reason to possess Fierce Beast Essence.
Moreover, this is Secret Realm, so even if they die, no one will know.
The others seemed to share the same thought, exchanging glances and a palpable sense of killing intent.
Mei Yuhao made the first move, charging towards Lin Mu with a long stick in his hand.
A long sword appeared in Lin Mu's hand, accompanied by streaks of lightning.
Cen Peishan also drew her long sword and rushed towards Pang Ruirui and the others like a butterfly.
A chaotic battle ensued.
The Fierce Beast Essence that fell to the ground showed signs of decay, turning into puddles of Black Water.
There was still the scent of Old Sea Turtle in the Black Water.
Several miles away, the Old Sea Turtle was sitting beneath the Cloud Profound Stone, a cold smile on its lips. It held a comb in its hand and gently combed its scalp, as if tidying its appearance.
"Laughable humans, do they really think I would hand over the Fierce Beast Essence to them?"
After grooming itself, the Old Sea Turtle slowly walked to the side.
That stone pit was filled with a black liquid.
The Old Sea Turtle immersed its body in the liquid, and as if rotting, it slowly disappeared.
Several minutes later, a head emerged from the pool of Black Water where the fighting had taken place.
It slowly crawled out of the water and looked at the several figures lying on the ground, barely alive, because of their infighting.
There was a smug look in its eyes.
In its view, humans are all greedy creatures.
When faced with enough profit, they are more ruthless than Demon.
"Poor creatures, you've been fooled into this state by just a few Fierce Beast Essence. You're truly pathetic," the Old Sea Turtle said coldly.
"This is your scheme!" Lin Mu said weakly.
"Of course! Although I cannot leave the Cloud Profound Stone, I can appear wherever there is Black Water."
"Those Fierce Beast Essence are merely manifestations of my Black Water. It's laughable that you've fought like this over a mere puddle of my Black Water." The Old Sea Turtle shook its head slightly, its tone seemingly tinged with disappointment.
"My teacher once told me that humans are the most greedy and ignorant people, and they will fall for any trick you use."
"Your performance certainly proves this point. Every year, there are people like you who fall for it. Why can't you improve?"
As the Old Sea Turtle spoke, it walked towards Lin Mu.
He could sense that this person had a very strong aura of Blood Qi, and must taste the best.
He couldn't wait to enjoy it.
He stretched out his sharp claws and reached for Lin Mu's heart.
This is his habit; he likes to eat human hearts.
But as the claws pierced Lin Mu's heart, the expected sensation did not come. Instead, Lin Mu's body was shrouded in a shadow, which instantly transformed into a shadow and wrapped around the Old Sea Turtle's arm at an extremely fast speed.
Sizzle!
A series of soft sounds came from behind.
The Old Sea Turtle's arm showed some wounds, its expression suddenly changed, and it looked around.
All that could be seen were figures turning into shadows.
"What's going on?" The Old Sea Turtle's eyes showed confusion.
Just then, Lin Mu and the others emerged from the nearby woods, with Mei Yuhao carrying several dolls in his hands.
However, the doll has scars of varying degrees on its body.
"I had heard that Demon were cunning before, and now it seems that it is true. This Old Sea Turtle is not very strong, but he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve," Mei Yuhao said.
Lin Mu nodded slightly.
Mei Yuhao had previously said that this place was very dangerous, so he made some preparations for them.
Therefore, several dolls were depicted using shadows.
These puppets transformed into their likenesses and went to find the Old Sea Turtle.
As for the infighting caused by the influence of the Fierce Beast Essence, it was just a performance for the Old Sea Turtle.
They just wanted to see.
What is this Old Sea Turtle trying to do?
The Old Sea Turtle stared at the group of people before it, its eyes filled with anger.
Humans have always been their puppets.
And now, it's being played with by humans.
"You hateful creature!" the Old Sea Turtle, somewhat embarrassed and angry.
Its size suddenly increased, and a large amount of Black Water gushed out from its body, making it look like Fierce Beast crawling out of the Black Water.
Its eyes were bloodshot, and a strong killing intent emanated from it.
"Die!" The Old Sea Turtle roared, and a large amount of Black Water rushed towards them, enveloping everyone in a stench, and a sense of danger arose at that moment.
