When Ruan Dalong dragged the dragon turtle, I took a flying step and slid a few meters away from the beach. I grabbed a tourist who was paralyzed by fear, pulled him aside, and rushed to the next person.
My original intention was to drag everyone to a safe place one by one before going to reinforce Ruan Dalong. Who would have known that just as I grabbed the second person's shoulder, the other person's figure suddenly sank without warning. I was caught off guard and was hit by the other person. He broke free from his hand.
When I thought about grabbing someone again, I heard the roar of the dragon turtle in the distance. The huge dragon turtle rushed towards me fiercely in just an instant. The dragon's breath with the bloody aura lifted my hair into the air from a distance of two meters. I could only stand and retreat. It's a dead end.
Just as I was about to move, the man on the ground suddenly hugged my right leg and refused to let go no matter what. After I pulled my right foot twice, the frantic dragon turtle rushed towards me and opened its huge mouth above my head.
Unable to avoid it, I suddenly raised my leg and lifted the tourist who was holding my calf into the air. The dragon turtle's sharp teeth followed and bit the tourist into its mouth. When the harsh sound of cracking bones rang in my ears, the man finally let go of his hands. Although I pulled away, half of my body was dyed red by the blood splattered from the dragon turtle's mouth.
Before I could evacuate to a safe area, Ruan Dalong and Tao Xiaoyao had already fired hidden weapons while shouting, and then hit the dragon turtle on the neck.
The dragon turtle's whole body was covered under the shield. Only the neck was its fatal weakness. When dripping blood suddenly burst out from the dragon turtle's neck, the dragon turtle, which had calmed down a little, went crazy again and opened his mouth to shake it off. The half corpse in the mouth rushed towards me again with bloodshot eyes.
Even when I was in my prime, I couldn't compete head-on with this dragon turtle. What's more, I have lost nearly half of my strength now, and I can't possibly be the dragon turtle's opponent. I didn't wait for the other party to get close and ran away, but the crazy dragon turtle was chasing after me. The smelly dragon's breath sprayed on my back several times, and I had to speed up continuously.
But I know that no matter how fast I speed up, sooner or later I will slow down due to lack of physical strength. As soon as I stop, I will be buried in the belly of a turtle. But the more this happened, the slower I ran. My legs became weak uncontrollably several times, and I almost fell to my knees.
It's the eclipse of the heart!
In the past, no matter how eager I was to escape, this situation would never happen. Apart from Erosion Heart Powder, I couldn't think of anything that could make my legs weak.
In just a few moments, layers of cold sweat broke out on my forehead, and the dragon turtle behind me got closer and closer...
At the critical moment, I suddenly heard Si Ruo shout: "Wang Huan, grab the rope."
When I looked up, Si Ruo had already thrown the rope from a tree. When the end of the rope, which looked like a hidden weapon, flew straight in front of my eyes, I jumped up and grabbed one end of the rope in the air. With Si Ruo's simultaneous force, I flew up to the treetops like a cloud and mist.
Before I could stand still, Si Ruo had already grabbed the rope and flew up, falling towards the hillside in the distance. At the same time, the pursuing dragon turtle crashed into the tree. The towering tree, big enough for one person to hug, broke in half under the impact of the dragon turtle, and I fell down from the tree immediately.
I was in mid-air, and Si Ruo also used his strength again a few meters away, dragging me out of thin air and flying to the hillside in the distance. Before the broken trees fell to the ground, I landed on the hillside. Si Ruo stretched out his hand and pulled me up between a rock. I subconsciously looked back. The dragon turtle that had been chasing down the mountain suddenly turned around and rushed towards the crowd in the distance again.
A bloody massacre unfolded before my eyes. In just a few moments, the tourists who had not left the beach were torn into bloody pieces by the dragon turtle.
Ruan Dalong and the others also walked around both sides of the dragon turtle and climbed up the mountain. The expressions of the three people were extremely gloomy. Only Zhang Yuan roared: "Wang Huan, you actually escaped for your own life, killed innocent people indiscriminately, and fed people to dragon turtles! Are you still a human?"
I said coldly: "If you have the ability, go down and save people! There are still people down there who are not dead. I want to see how you act like a hero."
If my strength hadn't been restored, I would have definitely gone up and slapped the opponent twice, but the Erosion Heart Powder had already taken effect, and I could barely stand upright to prevent the opponent from seeing the flaw, let alone go up and fight with them.
After Zhang Yuan was robbed by my two words, he choked and became furious: "What the hell..."
"That's enough!" Ruan Dalong said angrily, "Zhang Yuan, after you leave this island, you can resolve the grudges between you and the Demon Sect however you want. But now, you'd better give up your yin and yang weirdness. I'll put it away, I'm not in the mood to wipe your ass."
Zhang Yuan's face was red and white, but he didn't dare to say a word. He glared at Si Ruo and me and looked away.
Ruan Dalong had just finished teaching Zhang Yuan when the sound of the dragon turtle moving was heard from the bottom of the mountain. The bloody dragon turtle had returned to the hillside in this moment. Someone shouted in shock: "Let's run!"
"You can't run!" Si Ruo said in a deep voice, "We still don't know what's going on on the mountain. The two people who ran up just now made no movement except for a scream. The mountain might be more dangerous."
Zhang Yuan said coldly: "I think you want to use these people to feed the dragon turtle, right?"
"Shut your mouth!" Ruan Dalong was really angry this time. He raised his leg and kicked Zhang Yuan. "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!"
Although Zhang Yuan stopped talking, Tao Xiaoyao asked her two companions: "Is what she said true?"
"It's true!" The girl responded to Tao Xiaoyao, and I turned my head and looked up the hillside.
The only thing I can see now is the outline of the mountain. Apart from that, everything is pitch black. I can't even see if there are trees growing on the mountain. Who dares to rush up the mountain rashly? However, if we stand still, the dragon turtle will come up the mountain sooner or later.
Just when we were in a dilemma, the dragon turtle, which had already reached the edge of the foot of the mountain, slowly retreated into the distance after raising its front paws several times, and finally turned around and walked back to the direction of the stone temple.
While the few survivors couldn't help but cheer in low voices, my heart suddenly lifted.
I don't think the dragon turtle gave up hunting until it was full. All ferocious beasts have a strong sense of territory. The dragon turtle can roam freely on the beach, but it hesitates near the foot of the mountain. That is not because it is considering whether to hunt the remaining prey, but because it is choosing whether to step into someone else's territory.
Although I didn't look back, a chill ran down my spine facing the top of the mountain. It felt like there was a pair of bloody eyes staring at my back in the dark, which made me shudder.
Ruan Dalong was silent for a moment before saying: "Let's rest where we are and wait until daybreak. See if there is anything nearby that can make a fire. Light the fire first, and don't go too far."
A group of people groped for a long time in the dark and built a fire. I looked at the beating firelight, but I was confused.
Si Ruo saved me, but I even doubted that she was not Si Ruo.
Si Ruo, like me, has been poisoned by the Corrosion Heart Powder. Now I obviously feel that most of my strength cannot be used, but Si Ruo can still fly several meters using Qinggong, and can even throw me up with a rope a few meters away. Mid-air, this is obviously not a symptom of poisoning.
If someone in Siruo is pretending to be someone, then why would she save me? But various signs make me think that she is not Si Ruo.
When I was puzzled, someone in the distance shouted: "Water, there is water here."
I stood up suddenly. The woman who came out of the sea once told me, "Stay five steps back when encountering water." Could it be that she wasn't talking about sea water
I instinctively shouted: "Don't go near the water, get back!"
My original intention was to save people, but all of us had not had any water or rice for most of the day, and we were running for our lives just now. Not to mention those ordinary people, even I was already hungry and thirsty. I wanted to rush to the water when I saw it. Drink to your fill first.
The man didn't even listen to what I said. He lowered his head and lay down by the water and drank heavily. When others wanted to walk to the water, Ruan Dalong roared: "No one can go there! Stop..."
While Ruan Dalong and Zhang Yuan were trying their best to stop people, I bypassed the crowd and rushed to the water's edge in a few steps. As soon as the slightly rose-red water came into my sight, the man who was still drinking water already shouted in surprise: "Toad! There is a toad in the water..."
Why are there toads in the water? When I looked in the direction of the man's finger, I did see a palm-sized toad with a red back lying motionless in the water.
Before I could stop him, the man had already rolled up his sleeves and grabbed the "toad". Before his fingers touched the target's back, the "toad" lying in the water suddenly broke out of the water.
That wasn't a toad, it was clearly the head of a giant python. Just now, it had its entire body submerged in the water, with only half of its head exposed. At first glance, it looked like the back of a toad. It wasn't until someone stretched out their hands that the hideous giant python submerged in the water was revealed.
The man wanted to dodge but it was too late. In just a moment, the python's four fangs were completely trapped in the opponent's wrist. As soon as the man screamed, I already had the knife in my hand, stepped forward and slashed at the python's neck. After the sword flashed, the snake's head snapped off, but before the blood-spattered snake's body fell to the ground, another snake's head shot out of the water and bit the man's throat.
"Two-headed snake!" I exclaimed and used my knife to cut off the snake's head again. I reached out and grabbed the man and backed away.
I only took three or five steps away before the man's whole body twitched and took his last breath in my hands. Until the man's body fell to the ground, the snake head that I chopped off was still biting his throat.
That snake is poisonous!
I looked at the black-faced corpse, and my heart suddenly sank.
