The golden crow chases the jade rabbit, and the dark moon replaces the white day.
Time passed day by day. This time Su He slept for a longer time. He did not dream and slept very soundly.
It's like hibernation.
He hadn't thought he would sleep so deeply and for so long, otherwise he would have made good preparations.
Fortunately, the water in the pool on the top of the mountain also has tides, rising and falling twice a day. When the tide is high, it is safe to sink in the water, and when the tide is low, it is just right for Su He to breathe while he is sleeping.
There was a strong wind on the top of the mountain, which blew away the scent of the Demon-Transforming Fruit, and no wild beasts have climbed up so far.
The mountain is not very high, only about twenty feet high, and is covered with strange rocks and no vegetation. There is only a patch of green bamboo growing around the pool on the top of the mountain. Apart from Su He, there are no other large animals on the entire mountain, and even mice don't come here.
The lotus flowers at the foot of the mountain had already bloomed, and when viewed from the mountain, they looked like a sea of bright red, a very pretty sight. There were only three or five green lotuses in the pond on the mountain, and they were still in bud.
The climate here is abnormal. I don’t know what month it is, summer or autumn
Another day passed, and the sky darkened. There was no moon tonight, and the sky was covered with dark clouds. Lightning and thunder began to flash from the beginning of the night, and lightning streaked across the sky, piercing the entire sky.
Birds return to their nests, and wild beasts return to their dens.
The wind blew up waves in the pool on the top of the mountain, and the tiles on the pavilion made a rattling sound.
The storm is coming.
Suddenly the wind grew stronger and turned into a gale, breaking the green bamboo and hitting Su He's tortoise shell, knocking off a piece of the tortoise shell that was about to shed. Su He was unaware and fell into a deep sleep inside the shell.
The wind blew for most of the night and the thunder lasted for a while, until the second half of the night, when it began to rain heavily.
Dense raindrops fell with a crackling sound, mixed with hail.
The weather suddenly turned cold.
Every summer and autumn there will be heavy rain or even hail, and the temperature will drop sharply.
Three to five days before a heavy rain comes, all animals can sense it and will prepare for it.
This year I was held back by sleeping.
Su He curled up in his turtle shell and didn't move. He was a cold-blooded animal and even if he was awake he would choose to curl up at the bottom of the pool and not move.
When the temperature is too low, the body becomes paralyzed and movements become slow.
Fortunately, he was in a safe place and didn't have to worry about his livelihood even in deep sleep.
This heavy rain had been brewing for a long time and it rained all over the place. It rained heavily for seven days in a row.
The water in the pool on the top of the mountain has already filled up, submerging half of the pavilion, and the green bamboos are not spared, all of which are soaked in the pool water. In two days, the water in the pool will flow down the mountain to form a waterfall.
After being cloudy for several days, the sun finally broke through the clouds and shone through, shining on the pool water, making the ripples sparkle with warmth.
After the rain, the sun rises and everything is moist.
When Su He woke up slowly, she heard the sound of waves crashing against the shore.
The world has changed after a good night’s sleep. Was it because of a heavy rain
I swam to the edge of the cliff and looked down. Tinghai Lake had spread to the bottom of the mountain—no, the mountain had become an isolated island on Tinghai Lake. The lake water slapped against the rocks, making a rumbling sound.
Flash flood
Su He looked into the distance and found that the pond where he originally lived had disappeared and was completely connected with Tinghai Lake.
Su He was cold.
What is the purpose of all this trouble? If I hadn't done it, I would have been in Tinghai Lake by now.
Sure enough, it is better for turtles to be still than to move.
Every failure makes you wiser, and in the future you should be as firm as a mountain and as steady as an old turtle.
Su He retracted his eyes and looked at his own reflection in the pool.
I don’t know how long I slept, and that half snake was so powerful that I ate the snake heart and gallbladder, which was a great tonic for me.
Su He has changed again.
The manhole cover he had been dreaming of was big, and it was made. At this moment, the single tortoise shell looked only slightly smaller than the eight-immortal table. It was shiny black, like a black jade sculpture.
The most important thing is that he has grown teeth!
The turtle head looked a little different from before. The beak-like hook disappeared and small fangs grew. If the fangs grew bigger, it would be much more ferocious.
I need to eat more shrimps to supplement calcium and try to make my teeth grow stronger. A turtle as big as an eight-immortal table can be called a giant turtle anyway, and it is too much to have a mouth full of small milk teeth.
I don’t know how long I slept, but I felt so hungry that my shell was empty.
There is not even a single fruit on the mountain, so we have to go down. At the foot of the mountain is the expanded Tinghai Lake, which has everything you need.
Just as Su He twisted his body, a mountain breeze blew, carrying a faint smell of blood.
The smell of blood was mixed with a hint of corruption, the smell of an injured animal with infected wounds. The smell was getting closer and closer to him.
Something is coming.
Su He retreated half of his body into the pond, with his head slightly retracted, looking in the direction where the breath came from.
A huge wolf staggered up, its fur soaked, its eyes gleaming with ferocity, its left hind leg curled up, a large piece of flesh torn off and soaked by rain, the wound glowing a horrible white.
It's the wolf king.
Su He looked behind it and there were no wolves.
I don't know what it went through during this period of time, and it destroyed its entire tribe. Maybe a new wolf king was born, and it was driven out of the wolf pack and became a lone wolf
The wolf king lowered his head and looked down at Su He, his dark green eyes full of madness.
Although the turtle had changed its appearance, it could still recognize it at a glance. This was the turtle grandson who had stolen its demon-transforming fruit. It was the demon-transforming fruit that gave it the power to evolve.
This is what it originally belonged to!
A wild wolf wouldn't think so much, but his anger is not much different.
The wolf king roared and suddenly pounced towards Su He.
die!
Bite him to death!
The change in body shape made Su He bolder. He stretched out his mouth to suck a large mouthful of water from the long pond, then opened his mouth and sprayed it on the face of the wolf king who was rushing towards him.
The wolf king's breath was choked and he subconsciously shook his head to avoid it.
But at this moment, Su He suddenly stretched out his retracted neck, bit its neck, dragged it backwards, and took the wolf king into the pond.
The newly grown teeth were extremely sharp, biting through the throat, and the blood dyed the pool red. Bubbles appeared on the wolf king's neck. He tried to turn over and stand up, but Su He stepped on him. He struggled desperately but couldn't get up.
Su He blinked.
So weak!
An ordinary wild wolf had already exhausted his strength, and now the wolf king had no chance to resist. Was it because the wolf king was injured and too weak? Or was it because I had become stronger
Su He skinned and meated the wolf king. After eating his fill, he waited for a while and then crawled down the mountain with turtle steps.
Whatever happened to the wolves, they must have disappeared by now. The lake had spread to an unknown extent and its edge was no longer visible.
I don't know if the group of crocodiles are still there.
Su He didn't know if he could beat the crocodile, but he thought the crocodile would be unable to do anything to him. With such a hard shell and such a huge body, they should not invade each other.
You can go down the mountain with peace of mind.
The smell of the demon-transforming fruit on his body has faded a lot, and he is no longer afraid of becoming the target of public criticism.
Only by going down the mountain to grab food can the dice be used. Staying on the mountain is safe, but it blocks the way to progress.
With a body like this, as long as he doesn't show off around those aquatic beasts, he should be invincible.
As for the animals that have already embarked on the path of strange beasts, it is equivalent to the end of their path to becoming monsters. They cannot sense the monster fruit, and they will not actively seek it out.
Evolve well and strive to become a monster as soon as possible.
It would be even better if I could be the king of Tinghai Lake.
Even when the water is not high, the diameter of Tinghai Lake is over a hundred miles, and there is also the Xiangshui River passing through it. The Qingyuan Gate is right next to it, so there is no need to worry about the presence of powerful beasts. It is indeed a good place to go.
Su He climbed down the mountain slowly. The lake was surging but he could see that it was safe underwater. Broken tree trunks and broken branches floated by from time to time, creating a scene of a flood.
With a splash, Su He fell into the water and swam towards Tinghai Lake.
The water here is too shallow, only one person deep. After the flood, there is still the shore. It is not a good place to settle down. Especially next to the Qingyuan Gate, maybe there will be practitioners coming to control the flood. After a few spells, the flood may recede.
It would be more appropriate to go to Laotinghai Lake. Su He paddled with all four legs, and half of his shiny black turtle shell was exposed on the water.
After swimming for only half a mile, I felt a faint sense of crisis.
The water rippled and something swam towards him.
