How could such a huge oversight occur?
A Bao never imagined that one day, after opening his eyes, he would be in charge of such an important task.
As he swallowed countless Blood Essence Stone, the surging blood and energy continuously stimulated his stiff acupoints. His body, numb for countless years, began to regain its vitality, and his emerald green tortoise shell began to radiate the jade-like luster it once possessed.
But this special turtle species didn't seem pleased to be the first noble from the Dragon Palace to awaken.
Because the mission was too dangerous.
The Heavenly Mystic Turtle lineage is an ancient race within the Dragon Palace's power. Having served the Dragon Clan for many years, they have always been highly valued. The Four Seas Dragon Palace have almost unanimously appointed this clan as the Dragon Palace's chief steward, or what outsiders call the Turtle Chancellor.
The Heavenly Mystic Turtle is extremely rare, and it is protected by the Dragon Palace forces from birth. Its importance is even higher than that of some pure-blooded dragons. However, its rarity does not mean it is unpopular. The Heavenly Dragon Heavenly Dragon Palace was jointly established by the Four Seas Dragon Palace. The four seas dragons cooperate with each other while also being wary of one another. Therefore, each of them sent an elder with Heavenly Mystic Turtle to supervise the area, in order to prevent the cooperating forces from profiting from their clan's divination abilities.
A Bao remembered that he was brought here for training by his fourth aunt, one of his elders. In the underground laboratory of the Heavenly Dragon Palace, there were many terrifying biological weapons. In addition to various human biological sorcerers, these Mystic Turtle from all over the world were also important participants in their creation, mainly divination of the monster's growth limit and success rate.
This is a task that severely tests one's divination skills. After all, creating these monsters requires a massive amount of resources, and to prevent mediocre human sorcerers from wasting materials, they must first divine the success rate before applying to create a monster. If the success rate is low, the project will be rejected.
This is also a way of saving resources for their own Dragon Palace.
This was the job it did, and it was a junior apprentice. It remembered that there were nine of them doing this job together. The East Sea Dragon Palace was rich and powerful, and the Heavenly Mystic Turtle had the most offspring, producing three at once. The South Sea was also wealthy and produced three. The North Sea was the poorest, with only one of its own generation. The West Sea barely managed to gather two. Usually, its nine juniors stayed at the bottom of this abyss all year round, grading these so-called biological projects.
Until the day of the accident, he hadn't graduated yet, nor had he been promoted to a higher level to be responsible for predicting the fortunes and misfortunes of these monsters after they took shape.
Those divinations are usually performed by adult members of the family.
Therefore, A Bao found it hard to understand why, this time, the higher-ups would entrust such an important task to him, a low-ranking Mystic Turtle.
When it regained consciousness, A Bao was stunned when it heard the Blood Guard reporting on the dragon lords' mission. For a moment, it even doubted whether it was dreaming.
After all, it had been frozen for hundreds of thousands of years; it must have dreamed countless dreams.
But as it ingested the Blood Essence Stone, its body was nourished and restored by the long-awaited blood and energy, and it knew that it was real, and that it truly had to be responsible for the safe transfer of all the adults of the Heavenly Dragon Palace this time!!
"Lord A Bao." The Blood Guard's hoarse voice interrupted A Bao's daze.
"I just heard from my subordinates that your divination results indicate that the Northern Dragon Palace is the most auspicious location. Is that true?"
The Blood Guard Blood Guard who spoke was noticeably thinner than the others, but A Bao knew that he was a leader-level officer, and was said to be the chief high priest of a certain human island nation. Having served the dragon race for many years, he had relatively high authority and might spend three months of the year enjoying his life on the human island.
"This is what the divination shows." A Bao tried to make his voice sound reliable, although it still sounded somewhat childish no matter how low he lowered it.
Upon hearing this, the Blood Guard frowned. The Heavenly Ghost Octopus was of an infinitely expanding type; if allowed to continue growing, even a pure-blooded Lord Wang would find it troublesome to deal with. Relatively speaking, the South Sea Dragon Clan, who possessed advanced Divine Fire Spell, was clearly more suitable to resolve this crisis. However, the other party's divination actually indicated that the path to survival lay in the North Sea?
Is it reliable or not?
To be honest, I have a lot of doubts about such a young Mystic Turtle divination.
There's no other way. That monster is growing too fast, and we need to leave as soon as possible. Blood Essence Stone are in short supply. Let alone awakening a high-level dragon, we can't even awaken a high-level Mystic Turtle. Don't be fooled by the fact that Mystic Turtle are only good at divination; they have extremely high requirements for blood essence. The number of Blood Essence Stone needed to awaken a high-level Mystic Turtle is almost the same as the number needed to awaken a Dragon King Breed!
The current Yaksha of Blood Essence Stone is simply not enough. Based on the collection speed, at most five Blood Essence Stone Lords or one young Mystic Turtle can be awakened within half a day.
After consulting with his superiors, a high-ranking member of the dragon clan, who had regained consciousness through the water spirit, decisively entrusted this fate to the little Mystic Turtle!
"That's how my divination shows, and my Mystic Turtle lineage only believes in our own divinations!" A Bao mimicked the assertive tone of his fourth aunt, feigning a coldness, and said, "If you don't believe me, you can make your own choice based on your experience, but my Mystic Turtle lineage will not be responsible for the consequences!"
"Uh..." The Blood Guard's expression stiffened for a moment, but he still didn't dare to escalate the conflict. He could only force a smile and say, "I'm not doubting A Bao, I'm just here to confirm. Since A Bao thinks there's no problem, then this time we'll proceed as A Bao wishes!"
A Bao nodded slightly, closed his eyes, seemingly too lazy to continue talking to the other person.
The Blood Guard paused, but dared not say more. Instead, he obsequiously offered several more concentrated Blood Essence Stone: "My lord, please take these. The fate of the lords of the Heavenly Dragon Palace rests in your hands."
A Bao slightly opened his eyes and looked at the several Blood Essence Stone that the other party had presented, which were obviously of extremely high quality. He felt ashamed.
It's genuinely fake.
To this day, it still doesn't know why the divination showed the north. But if it doesn't believe in divination, what can it believe in? Its own experience and judgment?
Do you even have any experience with this?
But no matter what, I need to get the other party to back down first; I really need some time to calm down.
"You may leave now." After swallowing the few pieces of Blood Essence Stone, A Bao closed his eyes again, seemingly unwilling to say anything more.
The more I say, the more mistakes I make. That's all.
But just as he closed his eyes, a pool of hot, foul-smelling liquid suddenly splashed onto his face across the cold seawater. A Bao was startled. Did this mere Blood Guard dare to throw something in his face because of his attitude?
Is this going to turn the world upside down?
However, these Blood Guard are all transformed from humans, and human nature is unpredictable; nothing is certain.
A Bao nervously opened its eyes, but the scene before it stunned it.
Where are the Blood Guard now?
All that remained was a jumble of scattered flesh and blood, dispersing before my eyes!
The flesh and blood writhed, clearly still struggling, but a nine-foot-tall man in the distance directly unleashed several punches, completely blasting the shattered flesh and blood into dust!
"Humans?"
A Bao's eyes widened.
How could there be humans here?
Before I could even wonder, a strange wind enveloped me.
The Mystic Turtle looked at the white-robed man controlling it, wondering, " The Divine Wind Spell of the East Sea Dragon Palace?"
"Enemy attack!!"
The Blood Guard in the distance finally noticed this and instantly let out a piercing howl. Countless Blood Guard came from all directions and surrounded the two living people who had suddenly appeared!
"Mortal, release Lord A Bao!" A Blood Guard, equally brimming with vitality, stepped forward and hoarsely warned, "Otherwise, the Dragon Palace will annihilate your entire clan!!"
" A Bao?" The young man in white who had taken the little Mystic Turtle hostage chuckled. "That's a rather cute name, quite fitting for this dim-witted fellow."
A Bao: "."
"Mortal, you're courting death!!"
"Don't scare me," Chen Qing said with a smile, lifting the little Mystic Turtle with a spell. "Without this little cutie, it's questionable whether you can even leave here alive, let alone wipe out my entire clan."
Blood Guard: "."
The leading Blood Guard looked at the other party with suspicion.
This guy came prepared, using the fritillaria to get close to the core area, and decisively struck, finding the point they feared most.
The key question is: how did he know?
Thinking of this, one of them tentatively said, "Lord A Bao is important, but the honor of the Dragon Palace cannot be tarnished. Mortals, do not test our bottom line!"
"Don't flatter me." The man in white chuckled. "I know your situation better than you do. I was the one who released the Heavenly Ghost Octopus!"
"You!!!"
