When I heard the giant turtle's words, my whole body trembled. It seems that my trouble has gotten a bit too big, no wonder that dead snake was about the same size as this guy. So they're husband and wife, huh? I unintentionally ate the inner elixir of someone's partner. It would be strange if they didn't come after me to kill me.
The giant turtle saw that I was afraid, came over and squatted down, patted my head and said: "Brother, don't be afraid, with old Liu here, it can't hurt you. Today I'm here to get rid of it!"
After finishing, this guy did something that made my jaw drop. He stretched his claws into the turtle shell and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. He quickly lit one up and said to me: "Come on, brother, let's have a smoke to calm down first!"
Seeing this action, I almost bit my own snake son, can't it be any more bizarre? Are animals also smoking now?
But I shook my head and said, "Turtle brother, thank you, but look at me, do I look like someone who can smoke?"
The giant turtle seemed to have reacted as well, and chuckled: "Haha, sorry about that. I was used to being human, so my natural reaction was to offer you a cigarette, don't take it to heart!"
When I heard this, I was stunned. When did it become human? Wasn't it a turtle before? As if seeing my confusion, the giant turtle lit a cigarette and took a very human-like puff. He said: "Brother, to be honest with you, when I just saved you, I already felt that our situation is the same. This shell of mine doesn't belong to me, and your snake body, probably doesn't belong to you either?"
My breathing quickened again, too many things had happened today. And it was too magical, I couldn't accept it all. The previous events hadn't been digested yet, and now this giant turtle appeared, saying it was the same as me? So to say, it was also reborn after death?
Actually, the giant turtle's heart was not calm either. It didn't expect that it wasn't just itself that had been reborn, but also others. It took a deep drag on its cigarette and said: "Brothers, in this vast world, there's nothing strange about it. We've been reborn, we've met each other, this is also fate, isn't it? Don't think too much! Everything will follow its natural course, as the saying goes, 'there are arrangements in the darkness'."
I nodded heavily, thinking to myself that it was indeed the case. If I could be reborn, why couldn't others? Who knows, there might even be more people like me who have been reborn.
Having understood this, I felt a lot more at ease. At this time, the giant turtle looked at the giant snake in the sea and said: "Brother, you'd better leave quickly, after it finishes attacking that ship, it will come to deal with us next. When the time comes, I'll fight it, but I'm afraid of hurting you, so don't make unnecessary sacrifices!"
After listening, I felt a wave of emotion in my heart. Indeed, it's like that. I feel that if they were to fight, I would definitely be defeated instantly, but looking at this giant turtle, its aura seems to be much weaker than that snake's.
It seems to know my thoughts, saying: "Don't worry about me, I have a way to deal with it. You'd better hurry up and swim eastward, you can go back. Wait for me to hold it back, then you rush to run."
My heart warmed up, this guy was too good to me, probably because we were all reborn, so he took care of me like that. For the time being, I didn't think about it anymore, crawled over and picked up the scale on the ground, handed it to him and said: "Turtle brother, I don't know what this scale is for, give it to you as a return gift today."
But who would have thought that when he took over this scale, he picked it up and looked at it, and then he was stunned, followed by a look of extreme joy, saying: "Heavens, is this the scale of the fire dragon? Is this the piece you just said you picked up underwater?"
Looking at its excited expression, I knew this thing should be very valuable, but I didn't regret giving it to him. I said: "Yeah, that's what I just picked up underwater, and I couldn't figure out what it was either, so I'll give it to you!"
"Alright, it's too good, this gift is too valuable, but I won't let you lose out either. Here, I'll also give you a gift, don't know if it will be useful to you!" After saying that, he stuck his head and paws into the turtle shell, not knowing what he was looking for.
After a while, it poked its head out, with a green scale in its claws that looked the same size and shape as the red one I had given it, except for the color.
"Here, I'll give this to you. Let's just say it's a fair trade, since it's not of much use to me either. You take it and study it, see if it's useful for you." The giant turtle said, stretching out its claws in front of me.
But just as it was about to touch the scales, I suddenly felt a strong breath coming over, and even more strangely, when I touched it, there seemed to be a sense of intimacy, this feeling, like when I was human, with my loved ones, very subtle!
At this time, deep in my heart, I seemed to be shouting, as if telling me, hurry up and swallow this scale down, hurry up and swallow it down!
Without hesitation, I took a big bite of the blue-green scale. Suddenly, something strange happened. As soon as I bit into it, the scale didn't behave like the previous red scale. Instead, as soon as it entered my mouth, it melted instantly, turning into a warm current that slowly flowed into my abdomen.
I was startled by this feeling, but I wasn't worried, because when this warm current flowed in, it didn't feel as overbearing as the inner elixir I had swallowed, instead, this feeling was more intimate and gentle, just like it originally belonged to me.
Slowly, I feel my whole body changing, the meridians are constantly thickening, the blood is circulating faster, and the scales on my body are gradually growing larger, but I don't have that feeling of being torn apart, instead it feels very comfortable.
After several minutes, the blood suddenly went crazy and rolled over, my heart was racing wildly, as if a breath was stuck in my heart, I wanted to scream, I wanted to roar.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, I opened my mouth and a roar came from my throat. This didn't sound like my own voice; it seemed as if a giant dragon inside me was using my mouth to make this sound.
This roar, as if a sleeping dragon awakened, announced its existence to the world. Not only was I startled, but even the giant turtle beside me retreated a step back, covering its mouth and staring at all of this.
And the giant snake that was about to sink the huge ship in the sea also turned its head, and a thread of fear flashed through its lantern-like eyes, even its massive body trembled slightly.
This sound did not have any pressure, but when it was heard, it seemed to feel that one wanted to bow down and surrender to this sound, the power of the dragon's roar, all things surrendered.
However, the giant snake only took an instant to react, immediately regained its composure and launched a more frenzied attack on the giant ship, as if it wanted to come over and clean me up right away.
At this time, the giant turtle said: "Oh my god! Is it another future king? Are you going to follow the same path as Little Seven and walk that road in the future? Wow, haha, great, it seems that I won't be lonely on my journey from now on!"
I was stunned by what he said and asked: "Turtle brother, what are you talking about? What just happened to me?"
At this time, he saw that I had returned to my previous state and said to me: "Brother, I really didn't expect it. You're also so strong. It seems that none of us who have been reborn are weak. Let me tell you, your ability to absorb the power of that green dragon scale just now means that in the future, you will definitely transform into a dragon and become a king!"
I listened and understood a bit, but I still said: "No wonder I felt a strange and mysterious energy inside me just now, but after that scream, it seems to be gone!"
The giant turtle nodded and said thoughtfully, "I'm not too clear about this either, but I think that energy should have merged with you. You'll have to feel it out and study it yourself. Don't delay, hurry up and leave! Although you've merged with the power of the Azure Dragon, your own strength is still insufficient, and if you wait any longer, you might get hurt!"
You think it's reasonable, everyone is a man, and they don't drag on, directly to him said: "Well, brother turtle, then you take care of yourself, I think we will meet again in the future, the gratitude for saving my life and the friendship of the scales, I will definitely repay you someday."
The giant turtle waved its hand and said: "We will definitely meet again, live well, I'm waiting for you!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, his face changed and he said: "It's no good, that guy is coming, brother, you go quickly, I'll hold it back, hurry!"
